At the same time as she brought down the last swing, a familiar spark flashed in front of her, and a familiar sound passed through her ears.

　To be honest, Noel was halfway through his consciousness at that point.
　Even though magic allows you to put off fatigue and such, there is a limit to it.
　As expected, ten days was way too long.

　Despite being aware of this, however, Noel would not allow himself to fall on the spot.
　It is not because you would be seriously injured if you did so here, but because your sword is not yet perfected.
　Therefore, you can't allow yourself to fall down.

　At least that's how it was with That Man.
　No matter how much we worried about her, she didn't care about us and continued to beat her sword for two or three days without a care in the world.

　Moreover, she couldn't use magic.
　Or maybe it was the effect of a gift--

...... No, that's just an excuse. If he could do it. There's no reason why I couldn't.

　I've been watching its back.
　Then it's a lie that you can't do it.

　Shake off your weakness and get up to put the finishing touches on it.
　You wobble slightly, but you hold on for dear life and bite your lower lip.
　Carefully grabbing the still un-swordly object, you walked straight to the place where you wanted to finish up.

　As you do so, as you move your feet steadily forward, ...... you wonder why you are doing this.
　I'm not sure what the point is in continuing to do something that I don't even know if I'm capable of doing until I'm wobbly.

　But this thought passed for a moment.
　You don't have time to think about this nonsense and immediately resume the movement of your legs that had nearly stopped.

　There was no need to think about it now.

There might not be any point in ....... It might end up being useless. I can't tell you how many times I've thought about it.

　Still, each time I whispered to myself that it didn't matter.
　I wasn't looking for meaning in the first place.

　This was the only way Noel had to do it before seeking such things.
　That's all there is to it.

　And this one was the most responsive I've ever been.
　I had a feeling we were on to something.

　Then I couldn't fall down here all the more.

"--

　I bit my lip too hard and blood started to flow, but the pain woke me up slightly.
　I took the last step, looking forward, as if reaching for that person in my memory.













"...... Noel?　There has been no response and I haven't heard any sound, so I'm sorry to have bothered you so far, but - I mean, Noel ......!

　Allen watched fluently as Leeds disappeared into the back of the workshop with a scream, because he knew from the signs that Noel was safe.
　You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for, and you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

By the way, Beatrice, you're not in any particular hurry, are you?
"Hmm?　Well, when you told me it was going to be ten days later, I knew it was going to happen anyway. The same can be said for Master Leeds: ...... Just because you can predict it, doesn't mean you won't panic.
I see. ...... It certainly could be that way.

　While exchanging such conversations, Allen and the others headed towards the workshop and saw the scene there.
　And then I smiled bitterly because I thought, well, that's no wonder she screamed.

　Noel's face as he was being held up had an earthen color, and burns and other not-so-small wounds could be seen all over his body.
　It's no wonder that you might think for a moment that you were attacked or beaten up by a mugger or something, and when you find out that this is not the case, you are still injured and lying down.
　It would be unfair to ask you to remain calm seeing your friend.

　You're not going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's quite ...... reckless again in this state of affairs, isn't it?　It really doesn't matter how many times I tell you, you won't stop. ...... I will preach to you when you wake up.

　While complaining like that, Leeds' hands were gently caressing Noel's wounded body.
　As soon as the place was stroked, a faint light flooded the place, and in the blink of an eye, the wound healed.

　Although Leeds was doing this casually, it was definitely a sight to be called a miracle.
　The wounded body was being healed by human hands.
　At least in this world it is considered impossible, and if so, it was nothing more than a miracle.

　It was a sight that would probably surprise anyone who saw it. ...... Yet Allen was not surprised for two reasons.
　It's not only because they were common in a previous life, but also because I was able to do the same thing, and above all because I had seen them do the same thing to Akira and the others about 20 days ago.

　So there was no reason to be surprised--

"...... Oh man, she's really the same as always.
So, does that mean this used to be a common occurrence?
I used to fall down almost every time I saw Master Rees. I used to fall down every time I saw Master Leeds, as if I was counting on him to come.
It's also much more ......
The first time around, it was different: ...... Well, it was a bit of a wobble, so that's not much of a difference. It was the kind of situation where you could collapse at any time, and then you really did: ......
That means I'm really going to fall over for the taste: ......

　Should I think of it as a convenient use, or should I think of it as a trustworthy one?
　It's not a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, but it's not a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's been in this situation. ......
"No effect," you say?
"It's not as if it's not there. I don't know what I was thinking, but once I was holding a sword with my bare hands that I had just struck and hadn't even cooled down, and my skin burned so badly that it wouldn't come apart. At that time, Master Leeds was really angry, and that's probably why he didn't do it again.
"Wow, ...... that's indeed a thing,
"I was in a hurry too, you know. It's not the only reason, but it was the most pale face I've ever seen, and if I'd just left it alone, it would have been a wonder to die. ...... It was that time that was the catalyst. It's the reason why Master Leeds awoke to that power.


"...... I see.

　In many ways, this was a typical Leeds episode.
　It was a typical Leeds episode in many ways, that is, it allowed Noel to be safe, but it probably made him not care about minor injuries.
　The lamentations of Leeds and the others could be seen.

...... After all, you don't have anything to say about it.

　And then Beatrice said those words to me, while Allen was smiling bitterly.
　I'm sure you'll be surprised at how serious and strong the eyes are when you turn your gaze to Beatrice.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you're going to be able to get your hands on a new one.　Well, it's certainly not princess-like, but it's also Leeds-like,
"No, not really. ......

　I know what you want to say, but I dare you to say just that and shrug your shoulders.
　You've never tried to touch me and you're still talking in a roundabout way.
　There's no need for us to break it.
　Even if it's already obvious.

　--Allen could have foreseen the possibility of Leeds being a saint from early on.
　That is when he learned of the rumor.

　Because Allen knew about Leeds' gift (・・・・・・・).

　Before she came of age and received the Blessing ......, Leeds had the Gift (...) from birth (・・・・・・・), even before she received the Blessing (・・・・・・).
　That's why she was called a child prodigy.

　Moreover, her gift was special.
　Because as Leeds grew, so did her gift.

　Basically, a gift's abilities never change.
　They can be applied to increase their capabilities, but fundamentally they remain the same.
　Her gift was an exception, however, as her ability itself increased.

　At first, it was a common practice to raise the level of another's ability.
　It was simply a temporary increase in the target's status of about ten percent, and it gradually became possible to give the value of one's own status to an arbitrary status.

　You will be able to get the most out of it.
　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

　Hence, it's probably just a bluff that the kingdom is looking for a saint.
　It's because there's no way the kingdom doesn't know that Allen can guess.
　If they have such a capability, it's strange that they aren't looking for her, and that's why they say they're looking for her.

　Well, that doesn't make it any less important.
　Saint or not, Leeds is Leeds.
　If you're the same as you were then, that's good enough for Allen.

　--You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.

But for me, there are more things that are on my mind.

　It was a word for a change of subject, but it was also a fact.

　The three swords propped up behind Noel.
　Perhaps that is the reason for the smile on Noel's lips.

　Allen's mouth loosened as he looked at them, wondering what he had just created.
