We Live in Dragon's Peak

Mr. Rottle bows his head deeply to me and pays his respects. "Well then," I looked around and smiled bitterly.

Of course, you can't compete here, right?

The people of Nojima gathered around and it was quite busy.

Besides, this is originally a park for the general public to relax in. You can't start a private match on your own.

I agree with Mr. Rottle and think of a place to replace him.

That said, the map of the King's Capital, which is being rebuilt, is not in my head. At best, it can be recalled around my parents' home, near the Imperial Castle, or around the mansion of the Listerians.

Now, let's use the piazza of my parents' home that I know of.

However, that would cause trouble for the dragon race visiting, and it might not be fair for Rottle to have a geographical disadvantage at my parents' home.

When you think about where you deserve to compete for your fate, Mr. Lottle suggests it first.

"There is a school nearby. Why don't you borrow the schoolyard there?”

That's a good idea, isn't it?

In addition to its main role as a training ground for 15-year-old boys and girls, the school yard is also a place for guards and adventurers to guide and subdue monsters that have appeared in the city so that there will be no damage.

At this time, students may be using the school yard in their afternoon classes, but it should be better than annoying people who want to relax in the park.

Besides, people who have no business from the security point of view cannot enter the schoolyard, so it will also suppress Noji horses.

When I give my consent, Mr. Rottle walks first as a guide. [M]

Sefina and I left the park following Rottle.

Without looking back, Mr. Rottle proceeds to the nearby school in a stepless march.

You're a fine man.

I whispered my feelings to my neighbor, Sefina.

Rottle was aware of the relationship between me and Sefina before she applied for the match. Before that, you'd have heard about my prowess. Even so, he did not hesitate to apply for a fair match, and he is still acting like a gentleman.

I have to face Mr. Rottl with sincere thoughts. If you don't, you'll be rude.

“The Countess of Selford is a well-established family that has contributed to the country since it was founded. I hear he's also a fine man for the Marquis of Selford."

It is a family and a personality worthy of applying to the princess for marriage.

And I'm trying to take not only Euphoria and Nina from those people, but even Cefina.

Of course, it's about mutual consent, and I love Sefina so much that I can't beat anyone else. Therefore, I will not wipe my hands in the game by sympathizing with or forgiving Mr. Rottle.

Just as Mr. Rottle is betting on fate, so am I.

I mean, I really hate it when Sefina exhausts her love for me and goes to Lotto.

"For me, it will also be a fight against fate." That's why I'll do my best to face Mr. Lottle. ”

Sefina laughs dressed up, "I'm looking forward to it", as Rottle and I take it seriously.

By the way, Ernest, what are you going to do?

And now Cefina asks me a question in a low voice. While dropping his gaze around my waist.

My best is to dance the dragon sword with the spirit tree wooden sword and white sword. And yet, I don't have the essential spirit tree swords and white swords. Cefina says I can do my best in such a state.

"That's the case..."

Sefina's doubts are plausible. Perhaps Mr. Rottle is wondering as well.

That's why I'm not thinking of no Spirit Tree sword or white sword because Mr. Rottle is the opponent.

Since I decided to take Mr. Rottl's straightforward thoughts from the front, I'm going to do everything in my power to intercept them.

So, what is my "full power" now?

I let go of the Spirit Tree Sword and the White Sword.

I let go of my weapon in order not to pursue my power. I never imagined you'd need a weapon in a situation like this.

Nevertheless, we need the means to fight now.

In practice, if you run around or set up a trap, you can survive by flirting with your opponent (fooling), but the way you're fighting is different.

We need to show our strength and convince ourselves of Rottle's strengths and thoughts.

The power to do so. I'm doing everything I can. That's.....

“This is the school. Since it is my own offer, I will negotiate with the school side. Just a moment, please."

A stone wall stacked up to the top of the lap, showing the boundary of the site. Inside, plants are arranged at equal intervals to block the sight of passers-by. Even so, when I peered into the schoolyard, I could see the back of the school building.

In the schoolyard, students participating in afternoon practical classes shook their weapons hard.

Rottle waved her hand and gave me a signal as she spoke to the teacher who would teach her practical skills.

Looks like the permit came down.

Me and Sefina go into the schoolyard side by side. [M]

"Wow, you're a real princess."

"It's beautiful."

First, the students wake up to Sefina.

Sefina has a strong presence because of her elegance as a royalty and good standing.

Next, I turned my attention to my neighbor.

Is that you, Ernest Ease?

My dad said, "Saviors."

Looks like Mr. Rottle got permission not only to talk about his background, but also about us.

Well, I'll let you use it privately, so if you're a gentleman, you can tell them everything and show them your sincerity. As a result, I guess this is a natural flow.

However, there was a slight sense of discomfort in the gaze and curiosity that came towards me to know my identity.

Someone says.

But you're younger than I thought.

Isn't she cute?

Ah, and inwardly, I was upset for a moment.

My wives and I have grown old. As a result, the ageing stopped and the appearance of growth stopped.

I've heard that when my mental age grows up, my appearance changes with it, but at least my height and appearance have not changed.

That's why I look like I'm sixteen now that I'm not getting any older.

It's right to be uncomfortable to look at me and say, "You look younger than I thought."

But it was an unexpected shock to me.

That's right. Everyone grows older and grows older. But we've been living for decades, hundreds of years with this appearance.

Once again, I was reminded.

A policy for the future that is as important as seeking a path that does not seek power.

How should we deal with others when we are old? [M]

Some of you will be jealous when you find out we're old.

Of course, I was prepared to accept their fate.

But that doesn't mean you can show off your old age or be unnecessarily known.

Oh, that's why you gave me a territory and a mansion called Forbidden Territory.

Ernea-kun?

"No, it's nothing." I'll talk to you later. "

I responded with a smile to Sefina, who was leaning her neck against me.

Then, I walked over to Mr. Lottle, who was waiting in the middle of the schoolyard, and left Mr. Sefina behind.

Lord Ernéa, I wish you all the best in the fight for your destiny.

"Yes, of course!"

Students and teachers watch from afar. The people of Nojima, who followed them from the park, also peeked curiously from outside the schoolyard.

"I'll do my best. Now, just let me prepare a little bit."

When I showed my hips, I understood, and Mr. Rottl nodded.

After all, I was wondering. I realized that I didn't have a spirit tree sword or a white sword.

But from now on, I couldn't go back to Slagsta to get my sword. I'm sure Old Slagsta won't return it to me when I get back.

Now, how can I show Mr. Rottle my full support?

One more swing, and I had a sword.

The truth is, I definitely don't want to use it.

But it was also a good sword to show my "strength" right now.

That's why I dare to use this sword.

"Ares, please."

"Please, please, please"

When you hear my voice, Ares-chan reveals it. That alone gave rise to cheers from around me.

But the next moment.

All the people who were watching were at war.

Even Mr. Rottl, who was supposed to be ready, subconsciously stepped back.

The pitch-black long sword that Ares took out was creepy and twisted.

Soul and Spirit Seat.

The highest ranking demon sword that crushes and annihilates all souls it touches.

The terrible aura emanating from the throne of souls is suppressed by Ares-chan's power, but it still inflicts overwhelming fear on people by merely being there.

"Ernea-kun, that's right...!?"

Even Sefina advised me to take out the Soul and Spirit seat.

But I shake my head and deny it.

"No, that's all I can do right now." By betting on my destiny and fighting with all my might, I mean, this is what it is. "

Having received the soul seat from Ares-chan, I turned straight back to Mr. Rottle.

And say it.

"This is a demon sword that was bestowed upon the demon king's higher being, the true ruler of the demon race." The person holding it is the sword that is allowed to take the demon king's throne, so the two swinging swords that I wielded before will have no scarlet color. I'll play with this sword, but it's good, right? "

In response to my question, Mr. Rottl asked me a question as he blew a cold sweat out of his body.

"Yes, indeed, I saw the demon king who once saw a sword similar to the demon sword in the capital..." Now then... is it true that Lord Ernea is... a demon, a demon king...? "

That's a good question. I said "Demon Sword of the Demon King" myself. But it wasn't exactly the same, and there was something else I wanted to say.

"No, I will definitely not become a demon king." Don't worry, I've clearly conveyed my will to the Demon Ruler. but.... "

"He who is able to convey his will to the existence called the ruler of the demon race, and he is recognized." That's the true power of Lord Elnea now, and the demon sword that shows that power? I'm about to duel with that kind of guy... "And if you're going to face Lord Elnea with all your might, you'll have to swap blades with that demon sword....."

Yes, and I nod strongly.

"Come on, Rottl. It's a serious fight against each other's fate." However, we will check with you in advance. This demon sword could be desperate for a weak-hearted person by simply seeing it. She's holding us back now, but if we do, we might just be able to shatter our souls and lose our lives. Are you ready for that? "

To play serious battles against me with all my might in my hands means that.

That's why I dared to ask.

I didn't hear any excuses, but I can't even speak after my soul is broken.

In response to my question, Mr. Rottl is upset to see it, and he is upside down and disturbed in his breath.

I shouldn't have thought of that.

He said that he was risking his fate, but that it meant the same thing as "risking his life".

However, I have no sympathy for Mr. Rottle and will not take it lightly or use my mind.

After all, I decided to face Mr. Rottle's sincere thoughts with all my might.

Now, what do you want to do? Mr. Rottl moved himself before he heard it again.

With his trembling hand, he reached for the sword at his waist.

"I'm the one who made the inappropriate offer to Lord Ernea." If so, I have a responsibility to take in Lord Ernair's full efforts. ”

In all seriousness, Rottl pulled his sword out of its sheath.

However, the tip of the sword was trembling uncertainly.

Still, Mr. Rottle is prepared to face me.

That's all I'm thinking of Sefina-san.

Got it.

In preparation for Mr. Rottle, I'm also pulling out the seat of the soul spirit from the sheath.

Just by doing so, you're overflowing with irrepressible aura.

Ares-chan.

It's all yours.

Ares put up a barrier that contained me and Mr. Lottle.

This shouldn't harm the students or the people of Noderma.

Even so, just by seeing the soul and spirit seat, a small number of people have lost consciousness, but I can't help it. I'll take responsibility for it later.

Rather than that, I will focus on serious battles with Mr. Lottle. [M]

Mr. Rottl was still holding his weapon against me, hip to hip.

I'm also stretching my gaze toward Mr. Lottle.

"Ernest Ease, I'll do my best!"

And without hesitation, I slashed at Mr. Lottle.
