While s toward Sylvia, Akito who jumped and absorbed the flame the moment he entered the arena,

『Mhm The flame emperor's flame is quite tasty』

He smiled wryly at Feny who muttered inside his mind

Inside his body, the absorbed flaic power, and then restores his physical condition

He knew it for the first time just know, that Feny appears to have the ability to absorb ic power

And now, as he is now contracted to her, it seeic power as the contractor Moreover, it see spell, it seems that he has considerably recovered Akito who has lost too rasp his fists tight while feeling the strength that returns to him

”You, you are late to come here……”

Sylvia said that while letting out tears Because of that, Akito has a wry smile,

”Aah My bad”

He apologized for the ti Well, he could see the tears of the princess that he couldn't see easily, he thought that around this much should be okay

(However Ohi…… Ha! Is this what they call gap moe!?)

When Akito was thinking solance because Sylvia glared at hi ”Wha, what!”

”Yaa Hiiragi Akito-kun You appeared with a great ti Well then, what kind of trick did you use? To erase ic easily”

When Akito was thinking seriously about the gap in his mind, Arthur's voice could be heard from behind Akito who noticed that slowly turns around

Then , he laughs

”It's the power of effort that you completely ridiculed”

Although it's actually Feny's power, he said it like that

”Hht when a talented person puts an effort, it's frightening”

Akito beco his head

”Ah? What are you talking about? A talented person that puts an effort is terrifying? If that's the case, don't you think that it will negate what you have said to the princess before that 'no matter how much a talentless person puts an effort it would be pointless'?”

Arthur ier

”Aah That's not it It would be pointless no matter how th to climb up after all”

Akito beco it's natural

”Oi, you Did you ? I'm a man with no talent I also don't have any contracted spirit, I am a man that is called as 'The Dunce' at school, you know?”

”But, when you defeated that ht? In other words, doesn't that mean you have some talent?”

Hearing that, Akito shrugs his shoulder as if he knew it already

”Yeah ThatFor now, I have so that is called talent for you, is it only 'the ability to make a contract with spirit'?”

”Of course Is there any other talent? In this country, the one who is able toThen the one who can't is weak This country is that kind of country, isn't it?”

Hearing that, Akito spat Because of that, Arthur frowned

”You What did you misunderstand? Certainly there aren't only a handful of spirit users But hey, Do you think that people would be able to live when the country is only filled by only those?”

Saying that far, Akito pauses his words, and takes a deep breath once

”Listen! First the king of the country that you aim The talent of that politic, and the talent to cook, to make the food that ays eat The talent to study Those are talents, and there are various kinds of it”

Arthur is listening quietly to Akito's words Confir that, Akito continued

”Besides, I don't understand how politic is, you know? But, so, if you put an effort, you will be able to do it, right? The thing that theyan effort is delicious, isn't it? It is so we called 'filled with love' Hey, are you really ht of that efforts?”

Akito waits for Arthur's reaction while glaring at him Then, Arthur snorted

”H a first class chef, I don't eat the food made by people without those kind of talents”

”Aah, I see If that's the case, I don't have anything to say to you I will just give you a beating”

Akito cracks his knuckles Arthur laughs scornfully to that

”A beating? To thisjoke Even if you said that you are that leader's son, there is no way you can do it, right? You don't know your own place You who is not even able to win against ainst me!”

Akito tilts his head because of that

”Brother? Who is he?”

”Hmm? Aah so you don't know? I' the elites in your school!”

Because of that, Akito tilts his head once again

”As I said, who is—- Ah I remember Is it the fainted pretentious, the useless ikemen, the talentless and honourless bastard?”

”Who, who is he? That guy?”

”Your younger brother”

Akito speaks quietly to Arthur whose eyebrows are twitching, while pointing his finger

”Now that you mention it, you are sier brother?”

”Wha, what do you mean?”

”It h pride even though you are an ikemen, yet you are weak Your brother, I beat hio”

Hearing that, Arthur's eyebroitch evenArthur who is in such condition

”Well then, I will take care of the brothers in front ofthe princess—- her noble effort is grave, you know? Disappointing ikemen older brother”

When Akito declares that while grinning toward Arthur whose eyebrows are twitching, Sylvia's voice could be heard from behind

”He, hey To know that he ridiculed me, since when are you here?”

Akito got surprised giku because of that, he looked back by startledly turning his head only There is Sylvia who has stopped crying, is staring at him with red eyes

”Well, uh~ since Ohi weapon”

When Akitoaround relentlessly to escape froun while feeling uncomfortable, then Sylvia lets out a voice ”Hee?”

”Then, Even though you come to help immediately, you did not help me? Hmm?”

She excessively glared at Akito But, Akito thinks that somehow her face is cute

”No, no Because Hi, I wonder is she would win…… Or rather, if I give her a hand, I wonder if she will get angry……”

Because of that, Sylvia lets out a sigh ”haa” to Akito who let out a slightly restless voice,

”It's fine I will forgive you, Since you come to help me But I only have one request……”

Sylvia who has a ives hiulps and waits for Sylvia's ”request” while thinking like that

Then, finally that ”request” came out from Sylvia's mouth

”Beat that guy– Arthur Dramon!”

Moreover, when Akito rubbed his chest as he was glad it was not a strange request, and placed his hand on Sylvia's head,

”Aah Leave it to ht!”

He put a gentle sic power to his seal, and he was clad in flame

—It's beautiful……

The shi+ning fla that flah ”…… hou…”

(As I thought, It's beautiful……)

The flame of God, that dances around the boy That is surely worthed to be called the sacred flame

Sylvia is looking at Akito with absent minded eyes

『Just for today, I will be your knight!』

That word that the boy said, made Sylvia's heartbeat harder

Even if she has abused her power, bothered him, this person stood in front of her

She was glad because of that

— there is no one that ill attack the good for nothing princess

Because of such reason, there is no one ant to be her knight People ant to be her bodyguard are also none

Although only Raiya is by her side, she won't receive any recognition outside the academy

For me who is that kind of person, this person ca is unbearable happy
