It was that night that I woke up after a battle with a man also known as the most powerful swordsman in the country, the Child-faced Sword Saint.

"Saiga!"

"Saiga!"

"Dear Saiga!

"Hapine, Snae, Tsugar..."

I was lying in bed, and I was being sheeted, and I knew my defeat.

My face hurts violently, maybe someone other than me healed me with magic. But even magic can't completely erase the pain, so it still hurts.

"Don't get up, Saiga. You were hit hard in the head."

Really? I did predict I'd get hit in the head, and I should have tried to defend myself with it.

Yet why......

"Anyway, I did something cowardly that was her escort!

"No, not with the pride of a warrior. That man, he's a very powerful man."

My next strongest snae said that with trembling.

In an instant I must have been stunned, as if I didn't know what it was like.

"You predicted you'd be struck back then, didn't you? I watched from afar, too, and I found that out. It was overtly rigid. He approached me and slapped me in the face when I hit him in the head."

"Oh no, Saiga's predictions are off?!

"No, the man saw Saiga defend him before switching attacks"

Looking around it was certainly my room.

This is my room in the mansion set up near the school.

I mean, it's a place where you don't have to hide that you can use other magic, including fortune telling.

"So what did Master Saiga have to do? Should I have protected your face?

"No, you're not, Tsugar. The man was able to watch the opponent's movements before switching the attack. Sure, Saiga's predictions weren't something that could be sequenced in a very short while, but even with that point, it would be pointless. Clearly, that man is too strong"

I defended my head because I knew I'd get hit in the head. But when I saw it, he put a blow in my face.

If I had protected my face, I would have been hit in the head the way I was.

Then why don't you put the counter in? What if I was putting a counter in that instant move to pack the time?

Still, they would have dodged it and put the counter in reverse.

"Oh, I can't believe Master Saiga doesn't have any hands or feet..."

"That's not true, Tsugar! 'Cause that's when you only used magic and fortune!

Happiness defends me. But I'm sure I had a chronic heart. I thought I could win just by magic, but after all, the man who said he was the strongest in this country wasn't Dada.

"You can win with all the magic, the spells, the divinity! Isn't it?!

"Yes, but... if they knew they could use them all, that would be the problem..."

"But it's sloppy! He only showed fluffy floating magic!

"Hapine, when I said that, I didn't reveal it at all, including predictions..."

I looked at him lightly.

And I was so upset as soon as I thought I was going to lose.

That's my cause of defeat.

No, just to be clear, he was strong.

I lost because I was weak, and I embarrassed everyone and made them worry.

"Guys, sorry..."

"Fine, more honorable than that! Fight again, now it's time to win!

"Well, that's the only way to restore your fallen honor to the earth."

Yes, let's fight again.

Fight again, as Hapine and Snae say, and now it's time to win.

"Um... excuse me... um, do we really have to fight?

And I guess... Tsugar was stopping me from doing that.

"'Cause that guy's so damn strong, isn't he? You admit that noblemen and knights are the strongest in this country, even schoolteachers, right?

Yes, it was.

On second thought, isn't that a hell of a thing?

The people of this world I've been in, it was just proud of me already.

Even Tsugar is very dedicated on one side.

It is indeed strange for such people to say such things with their mouths shut.

Doesn't it seem like there's no point in arguing?

"What, even Saiga can do that with all the magic!

"Excuse me! But the... 'Cause you don't have a reason to fight... I don't know how to put it this way, but you can't use any magic other than magic in front of you, can you? Then how can I fight in front of you..."

Yes, I did, you're absolutely right.

At least you can't use any other magic in front of everyone, even though I have to fight and defeat them in front of everyone to restore my honor.

I might be able to use it if it's discreet magic, but I don't even think I can beat that sword saint with something like that...

"Then! I'll fight you out of sight! All you have to do is hustle and bustle about winning!

Happiness saying unscrupulous things. But in fact, there's nothing else we can do to fight for it...

"But you think you'll take that? At least that swordsman isn't saying he's just as belligerent as Saiga. Besides, I guess the Lord of that man is on par with you in this country. You're the one who gives the orders unilaterally and takes them? Thankfully, it's like declaring you do something dark behind you."

Have you calmed down, Snae, and start checking.

I do think Snae would take it, and even Hapine would.

But would that bad-looking woman take it so lightly?

Besides, there's no reason to fight over here anyway.

No way, I don't mean to hit you by accident...

"I hate to say it, but I don't think that's a disgrace to lose to the one who everyone admits is the strongest in this country! I don't want Master Saiga to get hurt, even though I don't need to fight anymore! I don't know what to do if I don't wake up."

Tsugar in tears and worries about me. I'm very happy with that feeling.

But still, I wasn't willing to stop.

"I'm sorry, Tsugar. But I want to beat him."

"Hopefully, that's a good thing. That's my man."

In contrast to Tsugar, Snae supports me.

"I mean, I'm sorry I lost. If you can't stay losing, no?

"Oh, yeah. That's right, Tsugar. I haven't done everything I can. So I want to bump all the power I can have!

He was knocked down in one shot, keeping his whole body armed.

I can't stay like this. I regret and regret...

"So...!

"Dear Saiga..."

I was crying.

I also showed some cool things in front of everyone. I do, but I regretted losing so much.

"I want to win...!

"Ugh... you saw something interesting early in school"

My own escort, my absolute trump card. Hit it together and one wins it all out.

I guess that's just, like, a chest victory. I know how you feel.

At least that's what I used to think.

Honestly, I feel so sorry for abusing my child right now.

"You must be, Blois. Is Happiness's fiancée strong enough?

"Yeah, I'm so sorry, but I can't say I can win"

The sun is already setting and the night is late.

Rayne is sleeping in her room, and I'm sleepy, too.

Despite that, the lady wouldn't allow me to leave.

There's a proper Sopede family escort in this mansion, and I was asleep and I can read the surroundings.

So there's no problem, and I'm saying I can handle it instantly, but they still told me not to go to sleep.

If you ask me if I have an escort to sleep with before my employer, that's it.

Humans, I think we should go to bed when the sun sets.

"Oh, how was the man who made you say that in front of everyone... Ugh, so? I told you to look into everyone's rumors, but is there any kind of distortion of winning or losing?

"It didn't. Strongly, no one can beat Kensei..."

"You bet. Hey, my escort is stronger than that woman's fiancée. Strong and natural, yeah..."

It seems to be a high level, a low mean stakeout.

He was so happy. I think I'm overjoyed with everything.

"For a long time, that Happiness really crowded me. She's the daughter of the same four nobles, so I was dealing with her quite a bit, I guess, Blois."

"... I thought you were right"

No, I didn't step into the social world, but that's about it.

It must have been absolutely inciting, I don't even have to sense it.

"Oh, I feel good. I'll be looking forward to it tomorrow."

Me and Blois, finally freed, are going back to their rooms.

I'm next to Rayne, as usual.

Blois is right around the lady, so I don't walk that far down the hall.

Around there is something to be called a gender wall. For once, Blois is an older stock than I am.

"Speaking of which, Sansui. You never told me why I swear allegiance to my lady."

Blois began to talk abruptly about that in the hallway where the stars came in through the window.

I certainly never even heard of that. I mean, unlike me, I thought you were normally taken and sworn allegiance.

I didn't think it was particularly interesting and there were no special circumstances.

"I am, as you may imagine, in the domain of the Sopeds, in the lineage of local lords. Unlike you, it's pretty clear where you came from, and there wasn't anything special about it."

"Oh, I knew it"

"More than that, I'm sure you're guessing, but I've never heard of a case like yours. Without your unlikely strength and Rayne, you'd be rotting in the grave by now."

I guess. I think so, too.

My disrespect is an unlikely level now.

The more I swallow that, the more my strength is pulled out.

"Anyway, you don't know very well, but local lords and other things don't make that much money. Unless it's a golden mountain, basically it's a poor life full of glory. My daughter took it away in anticipation of my talent, which allowed me to exchange territories."

Something sounded like Tokugawa Shogun did.

Oh, you left the people alone and had them reassigned to a territory with good conditions.

I know it's a better story than getting assistance or something, but I don't think it's an extra good story to think about ex-civilians.

"I had the gift of a sword and the magic of the wind. That's enough not to deal with someone your age. You were the only one I felt inferior to."

"Saiga."

"Yeah, not everyone in your hometown would say yes, but I'm also convinced of the brilliance of that spell if I were to say your hometown. You were so robust just to look at."

Am I right, I've never seen magic before, so I can't say anything.

"You know better than I do, but that man still has a lot to hide."

"You even know that? I'm not even a fairy artist, but wow."

"Naturally, I think how much I have to do with you. I'm used to seeing people I don't know the bottom of... yes, I would have let the lady down if it wasn't for you"

I don't know how to put it this way, but if the vector is strength, then the number of people can solve the problem.

If you mean a hundred manpower, you can have a hundred, if you want a thousand for one horse, you can hire a thousand, if you mean 10,000 or more for injustice.

And that's what I can do, the great nobleman. If you mean escort, there's no point in just me and Blois.

"I am, and that's more terrifying than anything else. Lady has an unrequitable favour, which should take precedence over my little pride"

"If it weren't for me, you would have fought. We could have lost like that."

"Oh, that's what I'm saying. It's possible she was in the way of your daughter's escort."

Just the two of us escort the children of the great nobility, I can. That's her two proud swords.

We must desperately protect that 'meaningless obsession'.

Because that is her pride and absolutely believable.

It's the same as a blower, and I have one of those. He takes really good care of Rayne. It's natural to serve her like that.

Even if I wonder somewhat, grace and public service are absolute principles. If you're paying me right, even immortals do their jobs.

"So I won't tell you in front of the lady, but I'm glad you're here"

"That's the same for me. I'm plain, so I'm glad you had a blower around. It's best for women to escort women."

"Well, there's something that doesn't even get to you, which is why I have a place too... I'm counting on you"

The conversation is over.

I enter my room with a serene heart, receiving thoughts conveyed in words.

To be honest, there are a lot of scary things about her future, but that's what relatives should think, not what escorts think.

From now on, we just had to protect her mind and body.

It's been one night since then.

The lady just walked into this school, and there's no way there's any change in my job.

I was escorting the lady with Blois. Regarding Rain, it has been sent to the Childhood Department.

So I thought I was normal...

"Then do the shrinkage again and again."

"Hehe..."

"Guys, record it properly because it's valuable data. Then, any student or faculty member who comes up with a way to take experimental data, raise their hand promptly!

I don't know myself, but rare magic is amazing because it can be 'impossible with normal magic'.

In short, when I adjust my weight and float, even the magic of the wind is fine, but when I ignore inertia and travel in an instant, the story changes at once.

It can be accelerated by the magic of fire or the magic of the wind, but it's not as capable of instantaneous travel as the shrinkage of immortality.

In the first place, it's impossible in this world to move and stop immediately.

"Ugh, good luck with that."

At the athletic field I played yesterday, I was supposed to repeat the shrinkage like a repetitive horizontal jump under crowd sight.

Of course, the schoolmaster immediately bowed his head and pleaded, which the lady allowed.

Did the lady come to brag about me or to study? Which is it?

"Then please!

Certainly not something that can be taken early, such as data on fairy arts.

But wouldn't this grandmother, her subordinates, the faculty, and the students be a little too nosy?

No matter how short life is, it is too hasty.

Or maybe, even if I don't, I'm here to say, 'Hey, actually, I'm an immortal life, haha!' What would happen if I mentioned something like that?

I'm starting to get scared now of people who have lived five hundred years and what they think.

Now I'm still young, but will that do until Rayne stands alone?

I think I'm absolutely sorry. You should think about it.

"So... I'll go"

"Fast!"

"You're really fast!

"I don't see any omens..."

"There's absolutely no error between the start and stop points!

"Wow, this is rare magic..."

"I certainly haven't been able to observe any magic at all!

Essentially, the shrinkage is warp.

But not so omnipotent, or invincible.

The first drawback is that it can only be moved to an open location.

To put it bluntly, even if the distance is close, it cannot be moved to a place that is separated from the wall.

No problem if you have a lot of trees growing along the way in the woods or something, but you can't travel anywhere near the other side of the wall.

Later, if there is too high and low a difference, it cannot be moved. For example, when I'm directly under a cliff and I go over a wall, I can't do that either.

Around there, I can tell somewhat by the feeling, thankfully, of the extent. I haven't thought about it that hard.

Either way, I was supposed to be inspired by careful data retrieval.

"Awesome, you keep moving in a row, but you don't see any wear and tear!

"You're not using any force at all to accelerate or stop?!

I am accustomed to a series of simple tasks because I spent the morning and evening shaking my bare hands.

There is thus no anxiety whatsoever about the exercise of immortality, which should also be called training. Besides, fairy arts consume less for plain things.

It's true that nature's energy is in the thick woods, and there's no way that nature is more absent from the surroundings than it is from a large Japanese city.

If so, there is nothing wrong with the continuous exercise of shrinkage. It's nothing painful or painful to be told to continue this streak for the next hundred years. Maybe you'll get used to it in the first few years.

Maybe some of the people who take data have that idea.

When I find out there's no end to my training, there's no end to my studies.

With that in mind, the lady, tired of seeing boulders and traveling, showed some signs of joy.

Did you find anything interesting? I hope to that extent, but no matter how I felt, there were also signs of my countrymen with that unique atmosphere nearby.

I mean, that's it, and I'm guessing the lady's going to be insensitive to me about that festival again.

I don't know, it's my second day at school, but the lady's going to have another duel.

I wonder what you think of school, my lady.
