The Kingdom of Euresia, underground barracks.
　In this quiet, empty place, I was confronting Neya.
　Neya's swordsmanship is so deadly that she can't show it to anyone.
　She was holding a sword in each hand, and seemed to have no intention of leaving any energy left from the start.
　If anyone sees her like this, it is inevitable that they will not think she is training.
　They'll think you're trying to kill each other.

"Nice swordplay. That's why it's worth teaching.

"There is no one but Master Walth who can take me killing with such impunity.

　The moment he finished, Neyer closed the gap and swung his twin swords down at the same time.
　It's a surprise attack that doesn't seem like training, but it's good.
　A tense hand-to-hand combat, one that is not serious, is meaningless.
　Beyond the life-and-death struggle lies the source of growth that Neya is seeking.
　After avoiding the twin swords, she didn't even have time to blink before launching her next attack.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　Even if one of the swords is flicked back hard, it will be well deflected and the balance will not be disturbed. If you're in a situation where you're not sure if you're going to be able to handle the situation, you might want to consider taking a look at the following tips.

"Ah!

　I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that, but I'm sure I could.
　I'm sure you'll be able to do the same.

The more power you have, the more problems you have.

　This time, he dodged Neya's sword and slammed it up behind him as hard as he could to follow up on the swing.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　This is where Neya's problem became clear.
　She spun around and attacked me with her other hand in a fluid motion.

She's not aware of it. Attack can be the best defense, but this is a completely bad move.

　He did not let go of his sword, even though his stance collapsed, and continued to attack even with his back to the enemy.
　The only reason it was ever a good move was because it was a barrier that you could overcome by continuing to attack, or because you were in no danger of being attacked further.
　When you turn your back on me, your priority should be to defend, not to force yourself to continue attacking.
　Either you can't switch depending on the opponent, or you think that because it's me, there is no attack.
　Either way, you need to make it clear at this point, so you grab the attacker's arm and twist it up, while sweeping his legs away and making him crawl to the ground.
　As he placed his sword to his neck, Neya said, "I'm here.

Do you understand what I'm saying now?

"Yes, .......

　Neya is not very good at defense, I guess.
　That's why she has been able to overcome difficulties by twisting everything with her power.

"Neya needs to work on her defense a little more. It's not too late for you to learn some swordplay. I admire your sense of style, but it's your own style now, isn't it?

After all, do you understand ......?

Well, there are glimpses of swordplay I do know.

"Where did Master Walth learn the same swordplay as Master Dallas?

　You can see that Neya is not quizzical, but is asking a genuine question.
　I think we should make sure that there is no contradiction here, even when the conversation with Seretia is interrupted.

"...... There was such a book, and I learned it on my own.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.　That's Master Walth.

Haha, ......, this is nothing to worry about.

I'm the kind of person who learns by heart, so I can't possibly imitate you.

　I'm a physical learner, so I can't possibly imitate you. I would have risked it if you said you were going to do it too, but apparently that was an unnecessary concern.
　If you want to learn more about royal sword fighting, you can ask Dallas, as he has connections with the Kingdom of Carlitz.

Thank you for your time today. You've given me a chance to look at myself once again.

I'm sorry I didn't make more time for you.

　I'd like to give Neya more opportunities to really challenge me, but I can't make time for it because of all the work I have to do.
　But I can't make time for it because of all the work I have to do. This is all because I have the title of warrior chief.
　While I was thinking about this, I heard the low, heavy sound of a door opening in the barracks.

"Ah, so this is it.

Are you feeling better?

I'm fine. If you sleep any longer, you'll go crazy.

　Celestia, accompanied by Feierls and Ainess, walked lightly down the stairs.

It's great that you're fine, but why are you dressed as an adventurer again?

It's because I found it easier to move around in this way.

What?

I'm joking about ----. It's because I decided to go to the Kingdom of Carlitz to show my face.

　I've been thinking about what the point of going to the Kingdom of Carlitz would be, and I can't think of anything.

"You look so strange. The next king has been chosen.

It's too soon. They haven't even tested him yet.

But it's true. I know, Feuel.

　"His Highness Harvey was not tested, and his Highness Fëstalyse was chosen to be the next king," Fiehl said matter-of-factly.

That's a surprise. The one who gave it up, and the one who was given it, Festalise, accepted it with open arms.



"No, the two of you don't get along well, so he refused at one point, and they had quite a confrontation. But Dallas-sama interceded and managed to get Festerlise to accept.

　If you think about the Kingdom of Carlitz, you have to accede to the throne as soon as possible.
　This is probably the result of giving priority to this, but just thinking about how hard it must be for Dallas to protect her makes me want to blow up.

So, are you going to the Kingdom of Carlitz dressed like that?

"In this situation, it would be annoying for them to greet you ostentatiously. I'm sure your father will have something to say about that at a later date, but for now, I'd like to be the first to congratulate him, you know?

　There is something to be said for being the first to tell him.
　You can't ignore it in any way.
　Since you know that, and you are going to wear this outfit, there is only one aim.

You don't like the Festeries that much?

That goes for Walls too, right?

---- Well, yeah.

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.

So, who are you taking with you?　I think it's best to give Feele a little more time.

"Don't worry, it's just me and Walth. Inez says she'll stay if Feeling doesn't go.

　When Seretia looked at Ainess, she replied with a tossing tone, "You're just going to go and come back, why don't you just go and finish it?

Well, this time, speed is of the essence. Let's get a move on.
