"Huh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nate frowned at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Who's going to be my partner?　Rebecca?　Or you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said this while looking Nate straight in the eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you serious?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course not."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said as I undid the thin ribbon that was wrapped around my arm and tied my hair back in a bun with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even Rebecca was looking at me suspiciously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So you're serious about getting your hair tied up..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nate said this to me as if he was mocking me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I haven't decided if I'm serious yet."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I smiled as I approached Nate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nate stared at me quietly, not looking away from me. The air is tense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's like everyone is waiting for Nate to say something. ......I guess he's the leader after all.

"Hey Tyrone, go deal with this woman."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nate looked me straight in the eye and muttered something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I understand."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In response to Nate's words, a big, fat, fleshy man came out from a short distance away. I wonder how many times my size he is. He had a shaved head and bad eyesight. ...... There are a lot of my ideal evil-looking people in this village.

　I looked at Tyrone and got a feel for his movements. He has ...... thick arms and looks like he has muscles, but he is slow. He walks towards me with his nose breathing hard and his brow wrinkled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is holding an iron rod with many big spines in one hand. He looks like an ogre.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And he is left-handed. When he walks, his foot comes out from his right side. And you're dragging your left leg a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not so much a painful ankle gait as a painful knee gait. ...... I wonder if he has some kind of injury.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, girl, fight me with this."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nate then pulled a sword from his waist and handed it to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I took the sword and looked at it carefully.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ...... leader has it, so it must be the best sword in the place, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a little rusty and the edge of the blade is rickety. He has been used a lot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a good thing I didn't bring my sword from home today. It's too different in quality from my sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's in shreds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nate said this as if he could read my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's the worst sword a nobleman could have, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nate said this to himself in a self-deprecating tone.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I know. It's the worst."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, you!　Don't get carried away just because you're a nobleman!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tyrone, beside Nate, yelled at me in a thick voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh my God, he's so powerful! His body, his voice, his face...he's a ...... scoundrel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I looked at Tyrone with a little smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I thought it would be better to be honest. It's better than lying."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You've got to be kidding me. I'll kill you ...... for making fun of the captain's sword."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tyrone said, glaring at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Nate was a captain?　Is there a squad in the poor village in the first place?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't kill him. Don't kill them. Stop one step short of killing them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nate said calmly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... It's a fragile-looking sword, but it'll do the job. It's like the saying goes: "A good sword is a good tool for a good man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rebecca looks at me worriedly. ...... That's certainly a normal reaction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How would I know that a noble lady had learned to use a sword?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill is the only one who looks at me funny next to me in this situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Whenever you're ready."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Saying this, I grip my sword tightly and hold it in my right eye. The air instantly becomes tense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tyrone, perhaps sensing my intent to kill him, holds a large iron bar in one hand and points it in my direction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His eyes are killing me. I wonder if he was so disgusted that I insulted ...... Captain's sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The talking stopped suddenly and the air between Tyrone and I became tense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You first, young lady."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tyrone showed me his slightly darkened teeth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm being taken advantage of. ...... will it take a minute?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Nate's the captain, he's got to be smart. If he's trying to figure out how good I am, he's probably not that good. Maybe lower-middle.　I'm sure Tyrone will be caught off guard thinking I'm a lady and ...... I'll definitely get it done in under a minute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I'll take your word for it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that I took a step behind him and kicked the back of his left knee as hard as I could.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tyrone let out a strange yell and landed both knees on the ground in a spectacular manner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You're moving too slow. And his eye movement is too slow. ...... I can win this without using my sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I kicked him in the back and lightly placed the tip of my sword on the back of his neck.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... too instantaneous. His muscles are not helping at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And again, it's hard to read your opponent's movement with only one eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was slow, so he was ok, but it would be a different story if his opponent was Nate. One second of delay can be fatal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, why is there silence when the game is already over? There should be cheers and cheers. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I looked up and took in the whole scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Everyone is blinkered, frozen, staring at me, except for Jill. ...... He looks at me happily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm not really happy that he's surprised by this. ...... Honestly, I'd rather fight a stronger opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Great ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rebecca looked at me and muttered in a disappearing voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... isn't that great. There are many people in this world who are stronger than me. ...... maybe she meant that I'm awesome even though I'm one-eyed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I practice sword everyday but if I'm weak then what's the point of practicing. So, to me, it's natural to be able to do this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why did you aim at the left knee?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nate said, looking at me probingly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Because I was dragging."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Just by looking at it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nate immediately responded to my words.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's true that he was only dragging a little bit, so not many people would notice. But you knew.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......Yes, there's another reason: .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The sound was slightly different. The time it took for the left foot to leave the ground was different than the right foot."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nate's eyes widened when I said that. I can see his yellow eyes clearly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess he learned this trick while I was locked up in the cabin. Since I could not leave the hut, I could only get information from the sound of the servants' voices. Well, my hearing is no match for Uncle Will's. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you next for me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said, tilting my head lightly toward Nate and smiling.
