I don't think I'm in a situation where I'm the one who should be calling you.
Yeah, for now.

　After the rehearsal, I returned to the school building, where Remyll was waiting for me.
　His left hand was tightly bandaged and fixed.
　I guess he was talking about the "Swordsmen" who came again yesterday.
　The troops that Remyil had reassembled were attempting to chase down Fault, who had escaped.
　I had planned for that - of course, I had taken into account the possibility that other swordsmen would come.
　The result was that Remyll was defeated.

"Is your arm okay?
If I had taken one more step, I might have been knocked down. You can't spend all your time at your desk.
"You don't work at a desk that much, do you, Commander?
You don't work at a desk that much, do you?" "Haha, you could say that.

　"I guess you could say that," I said, and Remyil shrugged.
　He seems to be in his usual mood, but I haven't seen him since he told me that the Blue Sword was defeated.
　Remyil's decision to go into battle was probably due to that as well.
　Remy letting out a small sigh, he continued to speak.

As for the current situation, I'm pretty sure that the two remaining opponents are the two swordsmen. I engaged one of them, and this is the result.
"So you're saying that Fault Mascenta won't be joining the fight? I've fought him and I can tell you that a man like that could lose an arm and still come back.
No, Fault's not coming back. --We found a body in an abandoned house earlier this morning. It matches the arm you cut off.
The body's at ......?

　So Fault wasn't saved by his fellow swordsmen - he was killed before the knights could get to him.
　I'm not sure what to make of that.

One of them was engaged by several knights, including me. I'd heard reports of someone using an invisible blade, but it was that woman. She was carrying a sword with no blade.
"What?　One of them was a woman?
Yes. I know her name. Fiss Maiden, they used to call her Saint in some parts of the world.
A saint? That's an exaggerated name.

　The role of a saint is said to vary from region to region, but it is not generally used in a negative way.
　There are those who use healing magic, those who belong to the church and spread the teachings, and many others.
　In spite of this name, he is now one of the swordsmen.
　The invisible blade - it seems to be the same kind as my Invisible, but when it can slice through multiple people at the same time, and also attack those who are far away, it seems to be close to magic.

"Did you see the Commander?　The sword?
"In a manner of speaking, yes. I was wary because of the previous information, and to some extent I expected it. The sword Phis uses is a thread.
"Thread ......, I see. That's the invisible blade?

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　It's a good idea to take a look at the actual information on the web to see if you can find anything that might be of interest to you.
　An opponent with the range to slice through multiple knights simultaneously, and the ability to manipulate them.
　It would be a troublesome opponent in a different way than Fault, who was also good at attacking from a distance.

What about the other one?
I've never been in a fight, but I know his name from what I've gathered. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. He's a big sword user and I'm pretty sure it was Adil who killed Fault.
I see. That one's pretty simple.
Oh. I'm not sure what to make of it.

　We've also gathered information on the remaining enemies.
　Adil Gratz and Fis Maiden - two swordsmen who are trying to kill Iris.
　From what I've heard, Fiss is the more troublesome opponent.
　He has a fighting style that is more suited to assassination, and he is more skilled than Remyll, the leader of the Knights.
　At the very least, the opponents who are after Iris are all that strong.
　Perhaps this is due to the fact that Iris is also known as the "Sword Saint Princess".
　As far as I know, the only person who is called by the name 《Kensei》 is Raoul Isaruf. And he has a name close to it.

The problem with ...... is when it will come. The question is, when will they do it? If they wait, they will eventually come.
There's a limit to how many knights you can have defending you. In the first place, there are no knights that can win in the current situation.
Yeah. I'm sorry to say, but you're probably the only one in my order. I've approached other knight orders for support, but they may not be able to come right away.

　There is also the role of knights who protect their respective districts.
　It will also take time to select knights who are capable of competing with the swordsmen.

"The first option is to wait for them to make their move. However--

　After I said that much, I looked outside the room.
　In all honesty, I think I'm better than the assassin who's trying to kill Iris.

"Aria, what are you doing in there?
"Sir, wow. I've never been caught dead before.



　It was Aria who opened the door and walked in.
　I was too late to notice her.
　When she doesn't show any signs of life, her ability to hide is truly remarkable.

So, what are you doing?
Iris saw you with the leader of the Order. She seemed really curious, so I checked.
Hey, hey!　What are you doing telling me all this?

　It was Iris herself who came after Aria.
　It seems that the two of them were planning to work together and listen in on what Remyll and I were saying.
　I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that.

"Long time no see, Miss Reinfell.
"It's ......, Mr. Eyn. I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I mean.
"Oh, no, I'm not going to let you ......
Mr. Iris. This is an adult discussion.
That's what the doctor said. ......?

　You're right on the money.

I'm sorry, ....... It was a private conversation.
I think I'm the best person to say that.
That's true, too. ......
Don't let the kids talk you out of it.
No, I'm just a kid. So what are you doing here, Iris?

　When I asked again, Iris replied with a serious look on her face.

If I wait for the person who wants to kill me to come to me, it might cause more damage, right?

　That's what I was going to say earlier.
　If you want to protect only Iris, you can just stay close to me.
　In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to take advantage of it.

You can't deny that, for sure.
In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.
"Decoy ......?

　I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not.
　You know that they are going to target Iris in this school, so as long as Iris is here, you can protect her.
　But that's not what Iris thinks.

I'll take the bait and lure the swordsmen out.

　With a look of determination, Iris declared.
