Chapter 40 (2/2)
I guess I can't talk about other people
Because I too felt ht with Shurei-san
”……then, let's have a good match”
”……start!”
And so, I broke into a run
Even as I ran, I sharpened my senses and read Shurei-san'sin at a tremendous speed
I stopped that blow
”……heh”
Shurei-san grinned broadly
”You certainly stopped it quite……easily!”
Saying that, Shurei-san started to estures of his ether with his casual swordain?”
In the
”Shurei-san has as well”
Answering hian to e blows several tiot hiht that, it wasn't a decisive blow
On the contrary, because I stepped in too far, I would receive an intense blow
……while continuing such an exchange, I laughed once more
It was fun This continuous offence and defence that was just on the edge
Just one blow All it would take in this situation was a single blow to lose
And acco all that was this nervousness and excitement……it allowed me to feel that I was alive
However, oneof such a fun time
I repelled Shurei-san's sword and placed my blade at his throat
”……I lost”
”Thank you very much”
At Shurei-san's words, I lowered otten stronger I had thought that uess I've still got a ways to go”
”A ways to go, you say, not at all……I also had several tierous”
”Oh, stop it ……ahh, I'll have to train again once I return”
”……what are you saying, Shurei-san?”
”……eh?”
Shurei-san solidified at my question
”There is still ti”
”N-No no……look, I've gotta report to the General after all!”
”The Master won't be returning until evening you know? Or do you perhaps have some other work?”
”I don't but……”
”Then shall we continue training?”
When I said that with a sweet sned sed bloith Shurei-san nuainst severalone versus several of the solely on a single ene a state where I constantly read the situation while re
Precisely because those of the Anderson Marquis House were the ones who had watched over ht froest this cooperative training
That they did so made me feel ticklish and happy
In co in the Capital treated me as an equal
……the fact that Kuroitsu-san, as one of the top , treated e role
Those from the Anderson Marquis House also emulated Kuroitsu-san's ht's Order were also around
That intense change in treatment was likely out of consideration for ht of in an environht favourably of azes, the fact that I was instead treated as an adult was also so with the members of the Guard Corps from the Anderson Marquis House made me feel like I had returned ho at ease In co at the Capital always had a sense of tension, like the feeling one gets when at work
Well, in reality I've never 'worked' before, but so would have that sort of feeling to it
It wasn't really a matter of which environment was 'better', as both of therowth
”Ah, Kuroitsu-san!”
I called out to Kuroitsu-san, who unexpectedly appeared
”Ah, Mel……you've done things quite flashi+ly again”
There were heaps of corpses aroundthe fallen members of the Guard Corps, Kuroitsu-san made a wry smile
”……why is Kuroitsu-san here today? The Head still hasn't returned yet”
At Kuroitsu-san's reaction, Ia question
”Oh, seriously……Then I guess I just missed him Well, that's fine I was around the area, so I was just dropping by anyhow”
”Yo, Kuroitsu”
”Oh, Shurei You came over here?”
Shurei-san revived and called out to Kuroitsu-san
On top of being around the sae, Kuroitsu-san would come to the Anderson Marquis House quite often to participate in training, so they had plenty of chances to meet and completely hit it off with each other
”……from how you were earlier, it seeot back?”
”Ahh……pretty much It's as you can see Since even you lost, I ondering how nificent”
”No doubt”
”Leaving that aside……say, Kuroitsu Are you free after this?”
”Hs over too”
”Then let's go out to drink tonight It's been a while since I was last in the Capital, so accompany me”
”Ahh……well, that's fine If that's the case, then let's call out the guys who co too”
”Ohh, let's do that”
”……what does Mel want to do?”
As the two conversed, Kuroitsu-san suddenly directed the topic towards o?”
”Yeah, of course We're all coether here, so let's celebrate Shurei's visit to the Capital together”
”Yes! Thank you very much”
