“Elsie, wait a minute.”

Just before I started sparring with Johnny Gavin, Amelia grabbed my arm.

Amelia, who was whispering in a voice so low that the other party could not hear, had a quite serious expression on her face.

“Are you really going to kill the other person?”

“No, I have no intention of killing you.”

Although I declared, Amelia did not change her expression at all and tightened her grip on my arm.

“Usually, if the skull is split, the person dies. There is no way to treat such a serious injury in this world. No, even in modern society, there are very few ways to treat it.”

“… … .”

How did know?

It seems that Amelia remembered what I said very accurately.

“No matter how much of a baron you are, you can’t get away with killing a noble. The case is completely different from the last time we robbed the intelligence guild, right?”

Amelia said with a serious expression.

“Then… … Other parts.”

“It’s not okay to break it into pieces. It would be okay to beat it up a bit, but if you get seriously injured and end up living with a lifelong disability, we will compensate you somehow.”

that… … I didn’t like it.

“Okay. I’ll do it in moderation.”

When I answered that, Amelia finally let go of my arm and her expression softened a little.

Because you trust me.

At least until now, I have kept everything I told Amelia. Amelia knew that too, so she was relieved when I confirmed that.

A feeling of pride welled up from deep within my heart.

“Are you finished with the conversation?”

And Johnny Gavin, who had been waiting until then, spoke.

“You don’t have to worry too much. Seriously injuring a lady is something a gentleman shouldn’t do.”

“… … .”

I think I understand.

That guy doesn’t know anything about Delkish.

That means that since I was born, I have never seriously handled a sword. Of all the people I have met who are serious about swordsmanship, every time they hear the name Delkisi, they have really looked forward to it.

Well, my teachers’ expectations were so high that when they saw my talent, they decided that it was not an answer and left, but even though I don’t have a talent for swordsmanship, the power I inherited as a Delkisi person remains.

To be so arrogant even after looking at me like that is similar to looking at a professional athlete and saying, ‘They eat and do that and are worse than me.’

Even so, being a professional is better than an ordinary person living a hobby.

At first glance, he was someone I could physically fold about seven times, but I couldn’t do that because I had a promise with Amelia.

However, the serious crime of trying to break into the Lily Couple is serious.

You can’t just ignore it.

“Then, please take care of me.”

When I said that, Gavin bowed slightly towards me. It was a polite greeting, befitting an aristocrat.

I wonder what will happen to that relaxed attitude after the sparring.

What is the safest part of the human body when hit?

Typically, you would think of the thighs.

There are important organs in the chest and stomach, the brain in the head, and the roles of the parts without the brain are the only organs that have a significant impact on the quality of life.

The arms and the hands at the end are responsible for the most complex tasks in human actions. Even if it is possible to make a walking robot, it is not that easy to make a robot that moves its fingers freely. Even if the joints are somehow implemented with motors, the muscles Imitating the flexible movements of the palm and fingers, which are made up of muscles and tendons, is not an easy task.

Well, there are important arteries running through the legs, and if you get stabbed wrongly or shot wrongly, you can actually die.

However, if you hit the thigh, there is a very high chance that the opponent will be able to withstand it. It is an area with a lot of meat and muscles, so if you hit it, you will not feel the pain as if you were hit to the bone.

So the part I chose is below.

It was a shank.

That’s right. It was the part when you said, ‘It was a little bit tight.’

“Keuuk!”

Even if you don’t kick it that hard, it still hurts badly if you get hit.

It goes without saying, but the trajectory of the sword that Johnny Gavin swung was poor. It was only natural that he would always fight in battles that others had always lost. However, he would have only acted awkwardly in front of people higher than him, so he would have never really clashed swords.

At this level, Adele and Diane are second to none, and her swordsmanship is worse than Amelia, who has only learned the basics. Still, Amelia’s physical strength does not support her, and when she practices, she trains diligently until she gets tired. Aesong, a baron who runs wild as he wants, Comparing itself is rude.

It’s praiseworthy that he didn’t fall down even though he was screaming and limping. Of course, the fact that I didn’t really kick him played a part, but the biggest reason is probably ‘pride’.

The male writer’s master had a duel with a woman and lost.

It reminds me of the crown prince from my childhood, but he’s in a position now where he might actually be able to beat me.

If you compare yourself to this guy, you’ll hate it so much.

Pak.

“Kwaaak!?”

Johnny Gavin screamed again as he walked without even bothering to take a stance with his sword and tapped the other shin with his toe.

He grits his teeth, glares at me, and swings his sword again.

It’s not basic.

The basic idea of a sword is to swing it from top to bottom. The reason is simple. It takes more force.

Of course, when you’re in a hurry, you can swing in the opposite direction, but if you don’t have proper training, the trajectory will be strange and you won’t apply much force.

widely.

When I simply swung the sword, Gavin’s hands flew out in the opposite direction from where I was swinging the sword.

Of course, the sword flew much farther than that.

To put it simply, I lost my sword.

For your information, this was the third sword I swung.

“… … .”

Silence fell in the Kalins family’s training room.

The wooden sword fell to the floor with a dull sound and continued to slide.

widely.

And Adele’s father stopped the sliding sword by stepping lightly with his foot.

“I am not a knight, and I have never learned any sword technique from beginning to end, but it seems that Gavin is a little less skilled than me.”

When I said that, Gavin’s face lit up.

“Although I have never fully learned swordsmanship, I was able to learn the basics, and since I am teaching those parts to my friends, I can assure you that Gavin is as skilled as my friends.”

Gavin, who was sitting with his legs crossed, jumped up from his seat with a red face.

Then he opened his mouth to say something and then closed it again.

What I mean is that after grunting for a while, I finally opened my mouth.

“ But, since I ended up sparring with someone from Delki City, I’m not that embarrassed. ”

It was.

Could it be that he doesn’t remember what he said right before the sparring?

No, that’s not true. Rather, it’s probably because I just want to build up my self-esteem. There’s no point in trying to build up my self-esteem now.

I didn’t bother to answer anything.

Gavin’s gaze returned.

Although the number of people who saw this scene was small, it seemed truly embarrassing that all but one of them were girls of their own age.

“Oh, I wasn’t in a good mood today. Next time, how about having a proper duel next time? ”

“I’m sorry, but I lost interest in today’s duel, so I don’t think I will have a duel with Gavin in the future. I don’t even know why I need to do it.”

“… … .”

Vin’s mouth dropped open at my answer.

So what.

*

“I’m sorry.”

“Yes?”

Before we kicked out Gavin and left Adele’s house, Adele’s eyes widened at Amelia’s apology.

“We intervened.”

“Oh, no.”

Adele smiled shyly at Amelia’s words.

“I really appreciate your help. I guess… … If you weren’t there.”

“… … .”

There was no need to elaborate, because we all seemed to know why the man came.

Diane kept her mouth shut.

“Anyway, make sure you come to class properly starting tomorrow. Even if that guy comes, say our names.”

“Is that really okay?”

“Yes. If you were to name the Grand Duchess, there would be very few people in this capital who would say ‘reject’.”

“… … .”

Adele didn’t answer for a while.

“From one to ten… … Thank you so much. How should I repay this?”

“There is no need to repay. It is purely a favor.”

Amelia spoke while holding Adele’s hand.

Adele raised her head.

The area around my eyes was moist.

“I am so lucky to be able to meet friends like you.”

“… … .”

Amelia smiled silently.

It was a sight that made it difficult for me to hold back a smile, but—

There was only one person in this situation who was biting his lower lip with a serious expression.

It was Diane.

… … Um, well.

I understand your feelings.

Diane won’t know that Amelia is ‘practicing’ with me.

They wouldn’t even know that that excuse was created because of them.
