25 25. Desired Battlefield (1/2)

”Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

Fault pressed his right arm while swearing.

In the abandoned house, the blood never stops flowing, and his face is filled with anger.

Standing in front of him is a large man with gray hair. He has a large scar on his face and a stubbly beard.

Adil Gratz was looking down at Fault.

”How was the Princess of the Sword?

I'm sure you're aware of that. ...... You know what you're asking. ......!　It's the kid that got me.　It's the youngest knight, they call him!　I'm not a lecturer, I'm a knight, a knight!

What's your name?

Alta Schweizer. ......!　I'll never forgive you, bastard. ......

As Folt says this, he tears off his clothes and begins to stop the bleeding. The fact that he has this fighting spirit even with the loss of his arm shows that he is one of the ”Swordsmen”.

However, Fault's injury is of no concern to Adil.

”How was this kid Alta?

I don't know.　I'm sure I'll kill him next time!

No, I'm not. I can tell by your injuries. You lost in a fight, didn't you?

......!　I haven't lost yet!

”...... Oh well. At the very least, Alta Schweizer's swordsmanship was enough to get past yours.

Wrong!　I'm not sure what to do.　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

Adil laughs.

I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to do that.

But to Fault, it is a sword.

I've lost the weapon and the right hand to wield it.

What kind of 'magical effect' was it designed to have?

”Oh, ......?　The bastard said it was poison. He said it was poisonous, but it breaks up the flow of magic.

Wow, that's an interesting sword.

...... So you're asking me that?　It's not your motto to confirm your opponent's information by slashing each other, is it?

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

Adil himself will not change what he does when he hears about the sword from Fault.

That's true. But this time, in the name of the Swordsmen, Azuma and Fault - the two of you lost. It's a matter of honor for us to lose any more.

I told you we didn't lose!

No, you lost.

”What?

Folt looks up and tries to say something back. The expression on his face instantly changed to one of surprise.

I think it was because Adil was swinging his greatsword at Fault.

But Adil swung his sword down at Fault without hesitation.

A dull thud echoed around him, and he was stained with fresh blood. The chair he was sitting on shattered, and he fell through the floor.

It's more useful to kill useless people. ...... You said it yourself.

He thrusts his reddish sword into the floor.

Folt has a habit of leaking information unnecessarily.

It's also possible that you could be caught and your information leaked - the reason I took the trouble to bring you back was to ensure that Adil would slaughter you with his own hands.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what to say.

A woman came from behind me.

I'm not sure what to say. The woman's name is Fis Maiden, and she asks Adil with a kind expression with her eyes closed.
