Camilla crossed her arms and shrugged.

“… Well, I’m a generous person! I could probably grant that kind of request.”

As she said that, Camilla turned her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth kept twitching.

“…”

If you open your mouth with that kind of expression, even the biggest fool in the world would be suspicious… .

I turned my head slightly and looked at Lucius.

As expected, he is frowning and glaring at Camilla as if he is assessing her.

He put his hand on his forehead and let out a small sigh.

… If things continue this way, Lucius may refuse to spar, which could disrupt my plans.

There’s no choice, I have no choice but to step forward here.

Since ancient times, the basics of acting have been,

It is a somewhat exaggerated gesture and a clear pronunciation that is easy to understand.

“Ahem, ahem.”

He cleared his throat slightly, took a step forward, and spread his arms exaggeratedly.

“This can’t be happening! Camilla is even offering to lend me the training grounds, how can I just ignore that? Since Lucius and I have a pact, I guess we can keep it now! Right? Isn’t that right?!”

Do you think you’re acting in front of other people?

I tend to be a bit nervous and speak quickly, but this is perfect.

Haha, everyone will be fooled.

Sigh- He raised the corners of his lips, opened his eyes slightly, and glanced around.

… Oh, my.

I should be getting an answer soon… .

When you start to feel uneasy that something might be wrong.

-Clap, clap, clap

“You are indeed a teacher.”

Along with the nameless and incomprehensible applause and out-of-context nonsense.

“… Phew!”

A laughter was heard, the source of which was unclear.

“…”

My acting must have been perfect… why are you reacting like that?

My face turned bright red for no reason.

… It’s all because of that fucking kid.

…

If it were me, I wouldn’t have done anything that would make this damn kid happy… .

Things are different now.

You could say that it is a temporary alliance for each party’s own benefit.

After nodding my head slightly.

Camilla and I looked into each other’s eyes and smiled the most vile smile.

In Camilla’s case, I’m guessing it’s for the somewhat childish reason of teasing Lucius.

In my case, it’s a little complicated.

Since I have a favor to ask from Lily, I guess I should do something like this to show my cooperation to the Demon King.

Of course, I don’t intend to follow everything Lily says.

If you cross a certain line.

So, if you asked me to do something overly inhumane, I planned to either firmly refuse or turn my back on the Demon King.

but.

Lily didn’t ask me to deal with Lucius and Elia, she just asked me to get in their way, which makes it harder to refuse.

So I reluctantly nodded.

In another mind.

As a master, I had the opportunity to have my disciple, Mu-myeong, spar with a good opponent.

I have no reason to refuse this.

The duel between Anonymous and Lucius is that meaningful.

A showdown with an obvious powerhouse won’t be something you can easily experience.

…what.

I added various reasons, but I am not trying to rationalize it by being hypocritical and saying that it was inevitable.

The reason I moved was ultimately to help Lily.

It doesn’t change the fact that I tried to interfere with Lucius and Elia.

It tastes bitter.

…

After a brief silence due to Camilla’s awkward acting.

Lucius let out a small sigh, placed a hand on his furrowed brow, and opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry, Cheonharang, but how about we proceed with the duel after we’ve resolved the urgent matter?”

… it doesn’t work.

Something tricky is needed.

He continued his thoughts, rolling his eyes.

“Um, does it really have to be like that?”

“Because it’s urgent.”

Lucius nodded with a serious expression.

I kept rolling my eyes as I looked at Lucius, and I was amazed at a thought that flashed through my mind.

Actually, if you think about it for a moment.

Lucius is having a hard time tracking them.

So, wouldn’t it be better to raise your voice and demand more people from that stubborn brat?

then.

Shouldn’t I solve Lucius’s problem?

He smiled faintly and narrowed his eyes, looking at Lucius.

“I have a trick that will take away your worries.”

“… What is that?”

Lucius tilted his head with a somewhat bewildered expression, as if he were not at all convinced.

I didn’t like the look on Lucius’ face, but I tried not to show it and continued speaking.

“You really don’t know?”

Lucius narrowed his eyes at my meaningful words, as if trying to grasp their meaning.

I raised my index finger and pointed at myself, as if mocking Lucius.

“Here, isn’t there a solution?”

“… Are you talking about Cheonharangnim…?”

“Then! Isn’t there no other way besides me?”

Lucius turned his head to look at Elia, nodding with a confident expression.

Elia tilted her head here and there as she received Lucius’ gaze.

Soon, he nodded his head slightly with a puzzled expression.

It was a sign of affirmation, so obvious even to a fool.

With a confident smile, she took a step towards Lucius and tilted her head upward.

“So, where did the answer go?”

“…”

After a moment of silence.

Lucius nodded, his eyes tightly shut.

“Okay… .”

“Hmm, okay, I thought about it well.”

He approached the nameless man with a big smile on his face, thinking that he had successfully solved one case.

“Anonymous, I’m sorry to ask now, but are you okay?”

“Yes, Master.”

What is the tension that Myeong-un feels before the unexpected duel with Lucius?

Rather, he raised the corners of his mouth as if he was enjoying the current situation.

“Isn’t this a place where I can test out my newly acquired sword?”

The nameless man stroked the sword on his waist as if showing it off.

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

To be honest, I can’t figure out where the pleasure of being anonymous comes from.

They say anonymity is fun, so what can I say?

“Hmm, okay.”

I nodded my head.

…

Preparations for the duel were made in an instant.

One reason is that it was still morning, so there was no need to delay it any longer.

The timing was so perfect that it was hard to believe it was just a coincidence; the training ground happened to be empty.

There you go.

From Lucius’s perspective, he would want to quickly finish the duel and begin his original goal of chasing the demon.

Anonymous also wanted the sparring to start as soon as possible, like a child who is just waiting to open the wrapping paper of a present.

what.

From my perspective of wanting to waste as much time as possible, it was a bit disappointing… .

Here, I hope that the anonymous person who received my teachings will show me everything he has learned and endure as long as possible.

…

I slowly looked around the training ground I had arrived at.

indeed.

The training ground was in such a beautiful condition that I could immediately understand that the knight guarding the wall that I had seen the day before had been raised here in Ellen.

How well maintained it is, with a flat floor without a single stone.

When I lived in the cabin, it was incomparably spacious and comfortable compared to the empty lot that Myeong and I used.

On one side of the training ground, various weapons were overflowing, and it seemed that medicines for emergencies were also kept here.

I was walking around the training ground for a while, looking around.

In one corner of the training ground, I saw a nameless man loosening up his body and swinging his sword lightly.

What is so funny about that guy?

He was smiling brightly, holding his newly acquired sword, and striking various poses.

I looked at that nameless person and let out a small sigh.

… Who on earth do you resemble to be so immature?

The duel is about to start, but that guy looks so unnerved.

I guess I need to say something sharp.

At that moment, I put down the swords I was holding in each hand, shook my head slightly, and started to walk towards the nameless man.

Lucius’ voice sounded uneasy from behind.

“Cheonharangnim.”

“Huh?”

Lucius looked at me, his pupils shaking like never before.

“Can I ask you one question?”

“Do it.”

What is reflected in his eyes is perhaps what I know best.

“Are you…a trustworthy person?”

It was a feeling that was surging and overflowing with something that felt dirty, ugly, slimy, and had a somewhat pungent smell.

I can’t bear to look Lucius in the eye like that and answer.

“… Then.”

He turned his head and opened his mouth slightly.

…

It’s funny that I’m even bringing this up now.

In fact, if you think about it, Lucius’ condition wasn’t normal from the beginning.

Of course, I haven’t been with him for a long time… .

If you think about Lucius, who I had seen in the past, who rarely expressed his emotions and never opened his mouth except when necessary.

This time, when talking to Camilla, Lucius opened his mouth somewhat violently, without hiding his emotions, as if he was talking back, in a voice filled with evil.

perhaps….
