Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai
24. To Be Strong
Ilis leans down, I don't answer.
That would be the case too - 'I want to protect everything as a knight' and 'I want to be strong to fulfill my revenge' mean something different.
But I thought that Illis had two conflicting purposes.
Illis exhales loudly. Eventually, he opened his mouth quietly.
"... shouldn't you? I want to avenge my father... I think so."
No, I don't think so.
"Huh?"
Ilis looks up and circles his eyes.
I seek strength to take revenge - that's what I might have thought would be denied.
But I won't deny it. [M] The reason for seeking strength is for each person.
"Mr. Illis wants to be strong to protect someone, if that's what you think, I'll support you. If you just say you want to be strong to exchange revenge, I won't deny it. It's very important that people have a reason to be strong. Whatever the reason,"
"... I thought it would be denied"
"Doesn't that mean you think it's wrong, at least in you?
"Huh!"
Iris listens to me and gives me a hazy look. [M]
It's not that she hasn't noticed - that she thought I'd deny it, which means that Illis isn't, at least, positive about revenge.
Yet that feeling has not disappeared in her.
Two conflicting feelings - it would be something that would hinder the growth of Illis.
"I'm not going to deny why I'm going to be strong, but I think we should choose."
"Choose......?
"Yes. If you really want to be strong, you should throw away your strays first. Do you want to succeed your father's will and be strong, or do you want to be strong to take your father's revenge - I think you should choose"
Illis shows confusion.
Choosing one - I'm not asking you to choose one.
You must be right to be strong to protect someone. I don't think I'm wrong to be strong enough to get revenge.
Most importantly, if I were to teach as an instructor, I wouldn't at least let them choose the latter path. This is only about being a master of swordsmanship.
If Illis is going for the Knight of the Most Powerful, I think she should take the path she wants to take on both paths.
"... if you don't choose, can't you be strong?
"I won't say that, but at least I think it's an obstacle for you to be strong. You must be unconscious and hesitant to be strong."
"Hesitation...?
"Yes. Should I also say that I want to be strong and protect everyone and my disgust at myself for trying to exchange revenge by being strong? I don't think you want revenge so strongly."
"Then the desire to take my father's revenge... means we should throw it away, right?
"It's up to Mr. Iris. If you want to choose that path and be strong, wave your sword with that will. The point is, blow it off, right? I think we can still grow."
"... Dr. Schweitz won't tell me what to do, will he?"
"If I'm going to advise you as a teacher, I'll just tell you that you should stop waving your sword for revenge. That's Shura's way."
I've seen a lot of people like that.
Because I once slaughtered and abandoned the whole place to the point of being Kensei. [M]
Strays do not disappear from the look on the face of Illis.
"... Honestly, it's not easy to decide. Because... my father was killed in front of me."
That was the first time I had heard of it.
Garro was killed in front of Iris - and even though that happened, this is how she lives.
"I didn't see my face well, but I remember the voice of the man who killed me well. 'Be strong one day and come kill me' - because I said so. You can't forget that."
……
Still, Illis declares his gaze straight at me.
"But if you choose - I want to wave my sword to protect someone."
What Illis said was such a desire. It's as if it's not what you say or what you decide in your mind.
But the words and expressions of Illis felt full of determination.
Those strays - I guess she knew what to do in her.
What was needed above all for Illis was to decide why he would be stronger.
(And I haven't noticed it since the beginning, and I'm still new to it as a teacher.)
... Well, I can't help it because I'm not a good person at reading people's minds.
Now she would be able to wave her sword with less clutter.
Tomorrow, we may be able to complete the first phase.
Thinking that way,
"... Because of this, let me ask you something for your information. What does Dr. Schweitz think and wave his sword?
Iris asks me that.
The reason I wave the sword - that's simple.
"Right. Because I want to make things easier in the future."
"... easy? Easy, eh...?
I get a slightly bewildered look from Illis.
Is it something that needs so much explanation? I thought so, but eventually I started laughing with a look like Illis understood.
"Haha, if you can be as strong as Dr. Schweitz for that reason, no one will have a hard time."
"Um, is that right?
"Doctor, you're someone who can tell jokes and stuff about these stories."
"Well, is it because you're a child?"
"It's not childish at all."
Such an Iris penetration goes in.
In my case - I have the biggest advantage of memory from a previous life.
At least, it's not approved by Illis, but as an escort, I think I can stay close.
Except for the default, there are two remaining swordsmen.
For the battle to come, me and Ilis entered into a cooperative relationship.
