Lose intentionally to a brave man, the plan is set, but the details are not yet decided.


It is hard to decide how to lose.
It's quite difficult to lose intentionally.

Well, I lost!

And if he fell over with an exaggerated performance, even a dullard would notice.

Then it was inevitable that he would become even angrier.

(That means you have to play a good game and lose by a good margin.

I thought so, and I tried to fight it, but it was difficult.

A brave man receives a wooden sword from his friends, gives me the same one and swings it around.

It's a serious blow without any reservation.
Of course, you won't catch Will with that speed.

Will usually dodges swords three times as fast as this one. Ronin's sword is even faster.

Slowly he watches his opponent.

Levin the Sword Warrior. Even when he was fighting the goblin, his movements were linear, and there was nothing contrived about his sword.

The speed of the sword itself is reasonably fast.

You'll be able to see them up close and personal.

But his movements are so monotonous that his next move is easy to see.

This may be a trait of those who have not trained much in swordsmanship.

Or perhaps it was a bad teacher.
.
(...... What a waste . (I think I have talent.)

However, I couldn't say that I was talented enough to practice with you.

So I decided to take a quick loss.

Twice or thrice, I'll unleash a close blow, then pretend to be off-balance to entice my opponent.

You'll trigger the enemy's attack, and you'll catch your sword as he comes at you.

Take the longest blow with your wooden sword.
Unexpectedly, the blow is heavy.

(...... I knew she was talented. Each blow is heavy.

Even considering the size difference, the blow was strong.
I was not expecting it, so I seriously lose my balance.

As I was about to receive a serious blow, I lightly release my power and strike my opponent.

Of course, I assume the opponent will catch it.

Receiving my blow, Levin

That's a good one, boy, that was quite a blow.

And then he would call the blow and attack.

(--Not yet!)

Thinking that, I step back only half a step and get lightly hit by the brave man's slash.

It was reasonably responsive, but I took the attack so as not to get hurt.

At the moment of the attack, I made a pinpoint "barrier" so the opponent should have had a good response.

Now if I could just blow back at the right moment, I should be able to lose comfortably.

As I blow backwards, I open my eyes to check, and as I expected, the brave man seems to be satisfied.

(......) Fufu, now the brave man has a flower. (Free at last.)

I pretended to faint, letting out a sigh in my mind.

My heroic friends and the heroic girls were praising him for defeating me and raising their hands.

This is how I was recognized as a biting dog, but I didn't care what others thought of me.

Only Lynx was covering for me, and only Lunamaria knew what I was capable of, but I wanted to end this travesty and get to the city where humans live.

Ten minutes later, I stopped pretending to be unconscious and stood up.
"As expected of the hero of the sword, it's amazing.
And praise the opponent and say goodbye.

A good-natured brave man

I was a little tense. Well, I was just in the mood for letting the goblins go.

And excuses and gives me a sign I don't want.

I take it with a lightly bitter smile and say goodbye to them.

Me and Lunamaría go straight to the road and head north.
Along the way, Lunamaria gives me a compliment.

"That's what I know of you, master Will. You are the best actor in the world.

You're exaggerating.

I'm not exaggerating. I'm afraid I'll be scouted by a traveling troupe along the way.

Besides," she continues, "it's very mature.

"I'm very mature. I know what it means to lose, and I know what it means to make your opponent hold a flower.

Well, I don't want any trouble.

It's right. I know Master Will is a true hero, but the world is not. It's a hassle to travel with a brave man at odds with him.

You can imagine what it's like to grow up in the mountains.

He smiled back at her and kept pace with her.

...... You're also a gentleman and a nice guy for matching your steps to the lady.

And she blurted out softly.




As Will and the others grew smaller, Levin grumbled.

...... That was quite a boy.

"Huh?　What did you say?



Cousin Lynx asked me, "It's nothing," I replied, and asked him if he had a fillet of Koytaro.

Lynx smilingly pulls out a fillet of koi-taro.

"That's nice. Nice work.

This is because of Will's help.

How about that boy?

"Yes, you're quite good at that--

Lynx's words stop mid-sentence.

You think that Levin hates Will.

That's both a misunderstanding and a correct one, but I dare not correct him, but I take the fillet and give it to the cook.

Ask him to make a pot.

Ask him to make a pot of carp and serve it to the brave girls.

Levin will eat too, but he'll let them have it.

"Uh-oh.

And eat the carp with a grin.

It was a little muddy, but it was delicious when fed to a pretty woman.

And perhaps because it's a fish from the east, it went well with rice wine.

The Brave Girls.

Master Levin is such a spoiled brat. I can't believe you didn't eat it by yourself!

But Levin says, "Never mind," and feeds them carp, touching their breasts and thighs.

Afterwards, the party continues until midnight, when everyone goes to their respective places of rest, but in the middle of the night, Levin gets up and heads to a nearby fountain.

You head to the fountain and dip your hand in it.
The cool spring feels soothing.
Levin murmurs to the moon and confesses his feelings.

"...... Do you think I'm a spoiled brat?　No, I just can't hold a knife or chopsticks now.
If you look, both hands are red and swollen.

They weren't injured in battle.
They were hurt when that boy struck.

...... d*mn it. That blow. Was it really just a boy?　I'm a brave man with a sword.

That blow . Will's blow was a hell of a blow.

The move he made before he delivered that blow was no ordinary one either.

...... Does this mean that the sword flash was real too?

I can't believe you used a dagger to fire a sword flash.

Because you don't believe it, you try to win the game and get rid of the anxiety in your heart, but you fail.

The only thing I got out of the match was a loss of confidence and astonishment.

...... Is there a stronger man in the world than me? There is a man more powerful than me who has renounced his femininity and risked his life for the sword.

And Levin removed the salami that had been squeezing his chest. There was a plump chest.

"...... d*mn it, d*mn it,

Levin, overcome by anger toward himself and resentment toward a boy stronger than he was, stripped off his clothes and jumped into the fountain.

He decided to cool his head.

...... You said your name is Will. I'll never forget that boy.

When the name Will is engraved on his heart, Levin forgets that he is a brave man and a beauty in men's clothing and swims around.

Levin has the mindset of a gymnast, and when he moves his body, he forgets what he doesn't want to do.
