　Liese was a little troubled by Sam's question.

　Sam responds to Hualien's question.

"Well - let's talk a little bit about Master Kensei."

　The three of us sit on the ground, glasses in hand, as the conversation begins.

"Kensei-sama's name is Amemiya Kurando. He was a swordsman who came to the continent from the island nation of Hinokuni with only a sword.

"Kurando-sama was traveling all over the continent with only a sword when he met the then prince, His Majesty Clyde, on the battlefield and they hit it off and became friends."

　There were many wars and civil wars in the Kingdom of Skye at that time, and King Clyde was also on the front lines.

　At that time, Kurando, who was employed as a mercenary, saved his life, became his friend, and eagerly invited him to become a knight of the kingdom.

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

　Kurando wanted a place to settle down and recognized Clyde as a master to serve, so he accepted the invitation and came to live in the Kingdom of Skye.

"His Majesty the former king recognized Kurando-sama's achievements on the battlefield, where he went around slaying enemy soldiers like a demon god. After joining the Order, he left behind numerous achievements, and for that he was given the title of Count and the title of ."

　In the Kingdom of Skye, there is no dojo for learning kenjutsu in the mainstream of the Kingdom of Skye.

　Many fencers aspire to become knights, so they usually learn swordsmanship at schools or by hiring retired knights.

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

　Kurarayo was unusual in that he opened an exotic dojo for swordsmanship.

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

　Of course, there were some who opposed it.

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

　However, the king unanimously agreed, and his dojo was opened.

　For a time, the attraction of learning swordsmanship from a swordsman who was a vice-commander of a knighthood and had the title of a sword saint attracted many young people who wanted to become knights.

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

　As time went by, the number of knights using Amamiya-style swordsmanship increased, though not by many.

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

　However, some people still despise it as a barbaric swordsmanship because of its harsh training in actual combat style, which is different from the Kingdom style swordsmanship, and the fact that it is thoroughly trained only to kill the opponent.

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

　Although many people give up in the training, those who have acquired a certain level of skill are without exception considered to be among the strongest.

　Sam, with whom she has daily training, knows best her ability.

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

　It is always a scene that Sam, who uses body enhancement magic, is beaten by Liese, who does not use magic, by swordsmanship alone.

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

　It's a disgusting sight to see how good the Amamiya style of swordsmanship is.

"Kurarayu-sama has two daughters. One is Mizuki-sama, who is an excellent swordsman, and the other is Kotomi-sama, who is frail.

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

"What about your wife?"

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

After Kotomi gave birth, she fell ill and passed away."

"I didn't know that."

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

"I don't know who my students are now, but when I was learning the sword, there were about thirty of them."

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

"Surprisingly few."

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

Not all of them can keep up with me. I don't know how many times I wanted to give up.

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

　Lise's body is trembling slightly as she looks into the distance as if remembering her past, perhaps because she is remembering the harsh training she went through.

"Liese said you are a master teacher, how long have you been training?"

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

"I'm not much of a teacher. Compared to Mizuki-sama, I'm not much better.

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

　Sam could not decide whether Liese was being modest or whether the daughter of a sword saint was more capable than he had imagined.

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

"I've never taught anyone before. Sam is the first."

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

"Hmm?　Does the sword saint teach each one of you?"

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

"Kensei-sama teaches us, but it is Mizuki-sama who gives us detailed instructions. The rest are the more experienced disciples.

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

"It's funny. I've only heard stories, but I believe this Mizuki is said to be the equal of Kensei. Why isn't she the heir?

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

"As Hualien said, Master Mizuki is really strong. But for some reason he is not a candidate for successor. Even if all three of the successor candidates were to join forces, there's no way they could beat Mizuki-sama.

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

"Why?"

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

"There must be some circumstances that I don't understand. And I don't know what's going on at the Dojo these days. Sometimes, Kensei-sama and Mizuki-sama write to me, but they don't mention anything about the succession problem.

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

　Whether you are a nobleman or a kenjutsu dojo, the question of succession seems to be a difficult one.

（I wonder how Manion is doing. I can't even remember his face now, but whatever. Oh, that's right, we didn't send a letter to Daphne and the others!)

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

　I hear a story about a sword, and for a moment I remember my brother, who was called a genius with the sword, but I soon let it sink into the depths of my memory.

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

　I was more upset when I remembered that I had not been able to give an update to Daphne and the others who had been so kind to me.

(I'll write to them later.)

"Why doesn't Liese go to the dojo?"

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

"...... I don't want to say this in front of Sam, but one of the candidates for the successor of Kensei-sama is my ex-husband. I know you don't visit the dojo very often, but I didn't want to see him willingly."

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

"...... sorry."

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

"Don't apologize. It's in the past and Sam is here now.

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

"Yes."

　Hearing her ex-husband's words, Sam's heart stirs in her chest.

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

　She had heard what her ex-husband and his family had done to Liese before, and she had not forgotten.

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

　But she had never thought that her ex-husband was a candidate to be the successor to the saint of swords.

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

（I never thought that he was a candidate for the successor of the Sword Sage, but I never thought that he was a person who is in a position to learn the sword and teach someone else how to use it. I don't know if I will be able to suppress my emotions if we meet face to face. I hope we don't meet, but if we do--)

"Sam?"

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

"Oh, yes, what is it?"

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

"I'm sorry. You didn't want to hear about my ex-husband. If you don't like it, I can greet the saint alone.

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

No, I don't mind. No, I don't mind. So please don't mind Lise-sama either. Liese-sama has me. I will make you happy. So let's just forget about the unimportant past.

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

"--Sam. Thank you."

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

　Lise moves to Sam's side and hugs him.

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

　As she hugs her gently, I realize that she is still suffering because of her ex-husband.

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

　I took a deep breath, trying not to show my anger,

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

"Sam, well said."

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

　My eyes met those of Hualien, who nodded her head with a thumbs up.

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

　Thanks to her, my body, which had been tense, relaxed.

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

（I still don't know what I would do if I met Liese-sama's ex-husband.)

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

　With these thoughts in my mind, I hoped that nothing would happen to Lise.
