"It's cloudy. If it's springy sunshine, it'll add to my victory."

　A man looks up at the sky and mutters abominably, looking at the clouds which, unlike before, cover the sun.
　He had a sword in his hand, and his armor and cloak were gorgeous, yet practical.
　The man is now in front of the tent at the headquarters of the army of the Milliana Kingdom. And all the aristocrats, except those who were confused to see Ray's magical powers, were around him and spread out to watch the upcoming battle.
　There is no problem in itself. It's an opportunity to let people know about your abilities, and above all, you can engrave your presence on the man's beloved general. At the same time, so is Filma, the leader of the aristocracy.

(He is the second son of the head of the Knights of the Duke of Kelebel, after all. It would be better if you could tell me a little about yourself, the next head of the Marquis Imagen family.)

　He curses at Filma in his inner circle, but turns his eyes on her because he has someone to hate her.
　There he is, wearing robes that seem to have some magical effect. He's not a head taller than he is, and he's still a child.
　Renojis, however, had no intention of letting such a man go. It was because the child in front of him, the adventurer Ray, looked at him with extreme displeasure. Renojis, who has the pride of being a noble, cannot bear the sight of being a noble at all, or of being an adventurer.
　Or maybe the story would have been different if Ray hadn't been too familiar with General Hime. And Elena also takes a comfortable attitude toward Ray. It was absolutely unforgivable for Renojis.

(My lord Elena will correct my misunderstanding if I knock this dingy adventurer down. and eventually marry me in order to connect our families...)

　Although he had not noticed it at all, Renojis's main reason for antagonizing Ray was largely due to Elena's attitude.
　The action Elena took when Arra and Renojis clashed the day before. It was not about doing something about Arra, but about destroying the sword that Renojis had. In other words, it seemed to Renojis that Elena had sided with Arra's and with Arra's, which made him jealous. In this case, it was a tragedy...or a comedy...that he was not aware of it.
　Without thinking about the circumstances before and after that, the only thing that left a strong impression was that Elena had defended Arra and Ray, and that she was jealous of Ray, who was a man, regardless of Arra, and that Ray would be assigned to the vanguard unit just like herself, which easily turned into hatred.

"Now, I'm ready! Let's see if I'm really good enough to take the lead!"

　Scream sharply, draw a sword from your waist, and stand ready to fight at any time.
　Watching it, Ray turns his gaze to Dusker for a moment. Then, after confirming a small nod, I developed the list of mistiling in my mind. Take out another self-styled death-size created with Seto in the art of sorcery.

"It's an item box!"
"No, wait. Isn't it just a space-expanded thing, not an item box? I can't believe that an adventurer has an item box at all... that unknown child."
"Your information is out of date," Don't you know that the Larkes army is much better off in food than our army, and that it's covered by item boxes... perhaps that's him."
"I've heard about it, but when I look at the item box with my own eyes, the impact is different."

　Dasker smiles bitterly as he listens to the nobles around him.
　While nodding silently to the neutralists who speak to them, they are blatantly changing their eyes when they see what's going on around them. That's not the number of one or two. More than half of the aristocrats here were gazing at Ray's item box. Of course, there is a difference in degree. """Item box, I like it,"" she says, ""That's all magic items." I'll use whatever means I can to make it my own."

(Oh, well, it's no wonder considering the rareness and convenience of item boxes. I can't help it. I'll keep you in check.)

　mutter in private, and speak in a voice that is audible to the nobles, pretending to reply to their neutrals.

"It's true that the item box is valuable, but it seems that there are some very strict restrictions on the user. It seems that the wavelength of magic differs slightly from one person to another, and it is said that if someone other than the user tries to use it, it will be quite bad. The item box itself remembers the magic of the person who used it first, and it's impossible for anyone but the user to use it."
"...what a terrible thing?"

　Dusker continues to explain, feeling the glances of the aristocrats around him with greedy glances.

"Well, I don't know the details... but it's an alchemist's trick to make a magic item the size of an item box. At least I don't think I'd like to have the trick."

　Almost all the nobles who were listening and trying to gather even a little information from Dusker's mouth looked disappointed. Yes, most of them. Some of them never give up when they hear Dusker's story, and look at Ray with a cloud of desire.

(They must be careful.)

　That's how Dusker thought, but in contrast to the interactions between the nobles, Ray and Renojis were about to cross swords.

"I'm always ready. -- come on."

　Rey tries to provoke you to grab a death-size handle with your right hand and grab it with your left finger.
　A proud Renojis can't stand such a thing in front of him. The next moment, he kicks the ground and holds his sword, quickly reducing his distance to Ray.

(It's true that you're a fast.) But it seems to be so easy to take advantage of the provocation...)

　Ray looks somewhat disappointed from his provocative look a few seconds ago. But the expression turns into a surprise the next moment.

"Huh!"

　Just as you think you're going to take Ray in between the swords and swing the sword down, the next moment you're in between, you kick the ground and jump right next to it. At the same time, he took advantage of the force upon which his feet touched the ground, and gave off a sharp flash of mowing sideways towards Ray's side. . . . .
　Shhhhhatch!
　The shrill metallic sound echoes around.

"Oh, will you stop my blow?" You seem to be quite a good adventurer. Or is it the power of such an enormous weapon?"
"Well, what are you talking about?"

　Rey responds by taking the sword with a death-size handle and erasing the expression of surprise that was floating in front of her.

"And yet, the blow of my magical sword did not even scratch me." Where did an adventurer like you get such a high-performance magic item?"
"Are you jealous? Well, you won't be able to get it."
"Sweet!"

　Rey receives the sword that is again being swung horizontally with a death-size handle.
　A shrill metallic sound echoes around.
　Metal echoes are the same as before, but there was only one difference. That's...

`Geez... stupid, as if I had cut a wall... I should have cut a metal wall!'

　Renojis muttering at a distance from Ray, frowning at the numbness of their hands, taking advantage of the impact of death size and collision. Perhaps because it was muttered only in his mouth, all he could hear was Ray.
　Not to mention Ray's own strength, his own weight was overwhelming, and at the same time Ray's magic, which was swept away by Death Size, was overwhelming. Even if it were a magical sword, it would have crumbled the moment it collided with a death-size handle if it had not been as powerful as it could have been. With that in mind, Renojis's magical sword, which can still be used as a weapon, is quite sophisticated.
　Rey was not so lenient as to let go of the handle of the magic sword she was holding in order to manage the numbness in her hands.

"Well, that attack seems to be over, and then it's my turn." You were making a fool of me. at least get over the first attack."The moment I hear the word, a blood vessel emerges on Renojis' handsome forehead.
　In Renojis's opinion, adventurousness was not the kind of language to be uttered against a nobleman like him.

"Fire, burn the enemy according to my will."

　a quick spell Ray At the same time, magic is invoked to produce a fireball about 30 cm in diameter on the death-sized butt.

"Oh, is that huge sickle a magical engine?"
"""Even with the item box in hand, such a magical engine.""" I think it's fair to say that he's got a decent amount of ability."


　Ray wields a death-size pattern while listening to the free voice of the nobles around him.

"The Fireballs

　The fireball flies through the air towards Renojis.
　The good news would have been that the speed was far from fast. Of course, Ray dared to drop the reason.
　It was out of consideration that he should not be blamed on Dusker as a result of his evasion and damage to the nobles around him.

"Do you mean to insult me to think that you can manage me with that level of magic?"

　The slow speed of Ray's magic may have led him to decide that it was a combat style that uses magic as an aid. I kicked myself in the ground and tried to pass by the side of a flying fireball, thinking that there was no problem as long as I could read it.
　snap
　Finger-clapping sounds echo around, and the next moment a fireball right next to Renojis causes a huge explosion.
　Fortunately, it was such a small explosion that Renojis himself suffered only minor burns without damaging the aristocracy.
　However, Renojis, who had never expected an explosion to occur suddenly next to him, could not cope with the sudden action and was blown right beside him.

"Oops!"

　Nevertheless, it was because of the pride of the nobility and Renojis' own trained judgment that the point of the sword was thrust into the ground and used as a support, and that he did not roll around and soil himself.
　Indeed, Renojis, who has passed this blow, is superior to the adventurers around him in terms of combat capability. However, it's just that they're above average.

"Here's an attack on the torso," Prevent it or avoid it."

　Death size that is cut to the side even when you talk about the attack area.
　Renojis, too, immediately tries to catch it with a magical sword, but his defensive action is delayed for only a moment to pull it out because the point of the sword is stuck in the ground. And the moment becomes a fatal moment.

"Oops!"

　He could still have endured to some extent if he had held his magic sword firmly to prevent Ray's blow. Renojis's magical sword was a high-performance magic item and matched with death size. However, that is only if you are fully prepared, and half-hearted defensive action will lead directly to the outcome of this battle.
　Renojis is blown right beside him with a magical sword in his hand. The sight of an adult man, or the weight of a half-plate armour, blown right beside him made the nobles around him doubt their eyes.
　There were only three people who didn't look surprised at the sight. Only Dusker, Elena, and Filma.
　Even the neutral aristocrats, who had been told by Dusker about Ray's ability before them, are scratching their eyes at the scene unfolding in front of themselves.
　In the midst of such a stunning stare, Ray slowly walks up to Renojis, who has fallen to the ground and is dirtied all over his body.
　Armour, which would have been polished to reflect sunlight before the start of this battle, had now been painted on the soil, and his face was covered with small scratches caused by rubbing against the ground.

"d*mn it... you know, I am..."

　Renojis tried to raise his sword to the ground and support it, but the damage done by Ray was too great.
　With this blow we slowly walked towards Renojis, who couldn't stand up... and a death-size blade was gently placed on his neck.
　Then pull the handle and the Renojis's neck will move away from its torso.

「……」

　Still Renojis glared at Ray, but nevertheless he turned his eyes to Arius, the king's chief executive.

"...that's it,"

　Arius, too, gives a signal to stop the fight, perhaps understanding that any further fighting would only reduce their fighting strength.
　The aim of the royalists was to drain the military power of the aristocrats and the neutralists, but before the war broke out, there must have been some judgments that it would be meaningless to lose the war by reducing their military power too much.
　As the voice echoed around him, Renojis still turned his hateful eyes on Ray.
