4 The others’ stories (3)

5 Their story: Sia nel Karuan’s story

“Can you hear me?”

“Ah…”

What I saw as I opened

That’s right I ca around my head

-Once you wake up you will already be at your house

He’s still as bad as ever

To think he’d say that to o back to

There’s only one place I want to go back to

“By any chance, he wasn’t caught by the princess, was he?”

“Indeed The person that defeated the Sword Star was deduced as Sir Ast… I mean Instructor Naruan and was pursued, but was revealed as captain’s peer Rein”

“Ha? Rein beat the Sword Saint? He was the weakest of all of us?”

“That as reported to us”

Since they’d already gotten that far, Master will already have defeated the Sword Star Since she was unconscious enough for even Rein to carry the Sword Star probably wasn’t in her most optimal condition But she’s still the Sword Star

Since the Sword Star’s an opponent that would be impossible for Rein to beat if she as awake

In that case…

“He must have handed over the bat”

“Huh?”

“It exists Huest weapon”

Then that makes sense

He could probably neutralise the Sword Saint in one strike with that

I had the help of my own secretly trained forces and the emperor’s direct shadows, as well as the princess’s help

The numbers were over 200

I even had them hide their bodies in the dark and used less torches to have him underestimate our numbers

But master was always one step ahead of me And the unfortunate truth was that he was one step ahead of me in the critical moment as well

To be honest I was uneasy

Our Master asn’tfor that reason, and our Master that was careless, became more careful than anyone because of that

He would use any ths

Master always did the things that sounded easy, yet hard to actually realize

Because of that, in all honesty this operation made me uneasy, and in some aspects it went as expected

“Casualties?”

“Aly, none Even our allies that were hit by friendly fire in the confusion were treated To be honest… I still don’t knohat it was that we fought against”

“Then again, that sounds about right”

Firstly, it hurts when you’re hit

Even I who endured during all sorts of training couldn’t avoid that pain

But funnily enough that was also treatment

Once, just once when Maren suffered a critical wound during training, Master brought out the metal bat

Ah, now that I think about it that was also the first time I saw the metal bat

-In, instructor! Even so that’s too far!

-Sending hi hi… eh?

We all had to look at that scene with both our eyes wide open

He was screahed in pain as his sides were torn and his guts were spilling out, but ere stupefied asthe injury miraculously heal itself in front of our eyes as it was hit

-Kill, kill et injured There’s even a way to heal you So rest assured

Master’s smile then made even me who loved Master more than anyone else unconsciously take a step back, and the i after that evenheart into a round after suffering treatment from the metal bat survived Much too perfectly fine

To the extent that he woke up fresher than us the nextFor the record, because of the trauma from this incident, he rejected countless love calls froly pushed for a desk job and so went into Internal Affairs He had beco injured

“Fu… fuhu… Huhuhu… Yes, hm You wouldn’t know”

“Miss Sia?”

As I looked at the ceiling I ignored h it h like that, for so like this

“Yes, Master is… an enigma?”

“Yes, Master is the unknown itself! He’s someone we simply cannot understand”

I couldn’t understand with any co at him I still couldn’t understand

Whether Master’s name was Naruan, Ast, Her else I didn’t know about No one knew

The territory that Master used to live in had already long been burnt to the ground by the Empire, and Master’s traces that I tracked him by differed with every lead What was more, when I stole records of someone else’s observations of Master and compared them to my own, all our records were different

So about Master

So to Master

So if the Master I knew and loved really existed

So I was embarrassed, but went to ask Master himself

-Master, Master!

-Instructor

-Yes, instructor I wanted to ask you so is already more or less complete, but very well What is it

-What is love? Does love exist? Then why does love change?
