It's Not That I Like Using a Blunt Weapon!

"I don't want to grow up... Now, I'll just do what I have to do."

Seeing Cecil's belligerent attitude, Aspis pulled out the sword he had put up on his hips.

Perhaps she has one of the three types of artifacts, the Sword.

Unlike the miserable atmosphere of the mirror, it is a white blade that seems to emit light itself.

The pattern is decorated with blue jewellery, not too glamorous and elegant.

Behind the robe that Aspis is wearing, there must also be the remaining artifact, the divine balls.

Cecil, who seems to be a fierce believer of the goddess Zodiac, can't stand being knocked down using three kinds of artifacts.

"I will definitely take back the three kinds of artifacts. You said Aspis. I'll sign you up one-on-one!

She pointed her sword at Aspis and said something reckless.

"Mmm, what are you saying? You can't win alone!

You must have just attacked lightly. If you don't know the difference, you're not qualified to continue as an adventurer.

"Excuse me! You don't know that unless you try!

But Cecil didn't listen. There's blood on your head and a mysterious sense of mission to recover the artifact, and it seems to be getting high.

"No, no... Please don't shut up, Roselia."

"Er, if this happens, I won't tell you anyway, so I'll let you like Cecil for now. Why don't you help me when I really screw up?

Say the right thing... I don't know, no matter what.

"Oh, my God, you're not in the middle of nowhere."

In response to that stupid voice, the frame of the mirror that Aspis was holding deformed like a living vine and wrapped around his left hand. From the back of your hand to your elbows, you'll look covered.

"Hmm... is that a mirror shield?"

Cecil smiles faintly.

"Is that the true appearance of [Mirror]? Yeah, you're right. You've decided you can't take my sword unless you use your shield.

Apparently, she was pleased with such a trivial thing. Recently, I've been able to hurt my pride.

But it was just an unexpected joy.

"Don't get me wrong. I just put this away. Thank you for deciding that you don't need to use a mirror."

Aspis says the truth is the exact opposite, with an overcast face.

"Oh, don't worry. I don't use the power of the sword. You can win with your full waist. If [Blunt Weapon Princess] is the opponent, I don't think so."

Aspis glanced at me. Oh, my God, they knew who I was.

Well, not many girls carry such big hammers.... but I'm not the only one, am I?

But she's too good at touching Cecil's scales. With so much anger in his eyes that he didn't float the vessels in his temples, Cecil spotted the artifact girl.

"Let me tell you the most glamorous thing about me...! Compared to Hannah Farset over there!

Cecil kicks the floor and stabs the sword. The velocity is exactly the light. The sound of the steps accompanying the movement, the sound of the sword slashing the air, was too late to be heard.

However, Aspis twisted his neck and shifted his face.

Single piece of paper. No, I tried to deal with it with minimal movements - I had the impression.

"Ha! You managed to avoid it! But if it's a blow, how about a serial blow!?

Cecil pulls his sword so that he looks back at his body that he fires a series of shots.

"Swordsmanship [Reincarnation]!

The sword blossoms from her hand. Of course, it's a metaphor. Each petal appears to be an attack at a fragmented angle. Extremely inevitable and a single hit is a special power.

"Heh...."

I was a little impressed. Cecil, it's getting stronger again. Apparently, my father abandoned me and I didn't just feel depressed. After a bloody effort, I was able to feel it from my swordship.

But the opponent was much higher than that. As expected, it seemed difficult to avoid everything with body judgment, but Aspis did not use a shield as declared and used the sword he had. I can't even afford your expression.

[Seven Spears] Not as much as Slad Archman, but in terms of adventurer rank, he probably reached A lightly.

"Damn, how about this! Swordsmanship [holy end]!

A beam of light is emitted from Cecil's sword tip. It is less powerful than her deep hand, [Holy End Re = YEM], but instead it requires no time for a sword move. If used in the flow, it is quite difficult.

But that doesn't work either. When Aspis moves his sword vertically and horizontally and writes a cross, he slashes the incoming beam of light into quarters and discards it. Besides, it has an atmosphere like before breakfast.

"Ha, is that really all you can do? If you can't win when you're tired, it's no wonder Bazel loves you."

"Shit! Shit, shit, shit!

Cecil shows remorse as he continues to attack with his slender sword. I'm sure they were going to use their shields with their current sword moves.

"Well, it's time for you to come too - Swordsmanship [Wind Aria]"

Dong! A shock wave from the sword of Aspis blows Cecil's body backwards.

"Gu!?

Cecil can't hide his surprise. Because [Wind Aria] is her specialty. But the power of Aspis is obviously higher.

Aspis around the offensive. The baked mark engraved on her cheeks tingled red as if it were a sign of her seriousness.

"Swordsmanship [Blood Velvet]"

When Aspis waved his sword, a bright red curtain was created in front of Zua. Is it a high-density magic barrier? As it waves, it hits Cecil in the air with tremendous momentum.

This is inevitable. Hmm, I didn't mean to, but do you want me to help you?

"Blunt Weapon Skill [Earthwall Construction (Tsuchikabe Making)]"

Offset the magic barrier by hitting the hammer on the floor and raising it to the ground. But he was dissatisfied with the progress, and Cecil who landed seemed to see me.

"Hannah, why did you do this?

"Don't bother. If I hadn't broken it, I wouldn't have been hurt."

"It doesn't matter! If you're not so prepared, you can't fight!

Why should I be blamed for saving my life? I tried to say it back when I was clinging, but I stopped the complaint by my throat.

Because Cecil's eyes spilled large tears.

"I can't even have a fair duel....! I'd rather die than be so weak...!

"Cecil...."

Recently, I've almost forgotten how pathetic it is to be seen, but it's originally a girl with self-esteem, isn't it?

That's tough... He was defeated many times by the fallout he looked down on in school, and eventually saved his life.

Nevertheless, even if time had come back a few seconds ago, I would have helped Cecil. I hate her, but I hate people dying in front of me.

But I still feel a little guilty. Cecil became Cecil and challenged his superior opponent with a strong feeling. Even if I was told that I was prepared to step on it, it seemed like I had no choice.

Well, even if I hadn't helped, Roselia would have helped, so Cecil wouldn't have been in either of those happy duels.

It would have been shallower to be saved by Roselia than to be helped by me.

"You can be weak. What's wrong with that?

It is still Roselia who comforts Cecil, who is kneeling on the ground.

"You don't have to work hard. Stop chasing after the president. I don't care about people who follow the devil's side. Cecil has this claw."

Ah... seeing that familiar sight, I kind of got a lot going on.

The real reason Roselia brought me here.

It's not about finding out who the ghost is.

You wanted to use me to make Cecil feel even more humiliated.

If we go on an adventure together, Cecil will feel inferior to me and defeated as she is now. That's what she knew. And that's what I was aiming for.

Even now, you could have helped Cecil before I did. But you let me help you.

Because I thought Cecil would get hurt. The deeper the wound, the deeper the gap that Roselia enters into her heart...

What a distorted love. No, can I call this love?

Monopoly, dominance, something like that...

Well, it was left aside, and in any case it was an ideal development for her. Cecil is worn out, and we can't rely on Roselia anymore - that's how it looked.

But Roselia's calculations were unexpected.

"--Cecil Saltrak, do you really want to be strong?

Aspis leans his neck and asks Cecil.

"Then are you willing to beg Watekushi to teach you? In that case, I won't give you [Blunt Weapon Princess] so strongly that you won't be opposed."

"Eh...?

An unexpected offer from an enemy. It must have been fascinating for Cecil, who was drowning in Roselia's sweet words and trying to accept her weakness.

"You know, I'd like to be reviewed by that basil. Then it would be best if you followed me to Watekushiku. You will surely be the [sword witch] who will inherit the will of Zodiac."

"[Sword Witch]...?

"Yes, I hope you also know the swordsman's handkerchief. Legend of the [Sword Witch]."

He who reigns over the three deities of Zodiac, and bears the fate of defeating the evil gods. When the devil awakens from his long sleep, [Sword Witch], the salvation of mankind, awakens again...

It's an ancient story, and it's known to a lot of people, not just Zodiac followers. The title [Sword Witch] is special to adventurers, especially those who use swords.

It's synonymous with a true hero.

"Am I a [Sword Witch]....? Hmm, really...?

"Yeah, it's not a lie. If you wish, I can give you this [sword rakesis]."

"I'll give you Zodiac's sword...."

It's like a dream story to her. Cecil walks toward the aspirin like a bug sucked by sweet honey.

Hahahn. Is this what you've been aiming for since you met Cecil? Exactly. Ame and Muchi. Keep it cold at first and treat it gently suddenly. In that gap, the simple Cecil was beaten to pieces.

I'm a very dependent child who can't live without something. [Sword Witch] If they say you can be a sword witch, it's up to you. What you're doing is brainwashing, brainwashing.

I don't know what it means to envelop Cecil, but it worked. The way you do it is too smart and impressive.

... that? There was a child who kept making Cecil a match pump like this right next door...?

"Fuck, no kidding! Even though I pushed you so far, what is it that you're reaching out for help from the side!?

The Dark Elves, who were robbed of their prey, were certainly not silent. Roselia screams as she reveals her intentions to kill Aspis.

"Rose...?

After his best friend's transformation, Cecil was so agitated. But Roselia, who has forgotten herself in anger, does not stop.

An aged wine that has been drained by a burglar who has broken into the house. That makes you angry. If you squeeze a little distance from the aspis, your index finger will stick to your chest and hit the length of your heart.

"I took the trouble to lose to Hannah, humiliated her in public, and let her lose her reputation... and finally" Dad "is gone, so don't come out suddenly!? Cecil doesn't need strength! I don't need status or honor! Cecil needs you! [Sword Witch]? Huh????? Aren't you stupid? Are you sure you can make something that everyone would love? You're the only one who can love Cecil! Do you give it to anyone else?
