　Sam and his friends were greeted by an elderly man sitting upright with his back straight on the floor of the dojo.

It has been a long time, Liese.

　The gentle-looking man over 50 with a soft voice and a calm expression on his face is the Sword Saint Amemiya Kurando.

　He had black hair mixed with gray and tied in a single knot, round glasses, and was wearing a hakama (traditional Japanese hakama).

　Mizuki, who had led them to the dojo, sat upright diagonally behind her father.

（It is strange to have a building that looks like a Japanese kendo dojo in the Western-style Sky Kingdom. But it is nostalgic somehow.)

　Inside the dojo, the floor is polished like a mirror and the walls are decorated with wooden swords.

　A Shinto altar dedicated to the god of the Land of the Rising Sun was set up behind Kurando, and in front of the altar were two kenjins.

　Although he had no connection to kendo before his reincarnation, the memory of doing radio exercises during summer vacation at a dojo near his parents' house as a child came back to him.

"I have always been concerned about Liese. But it seems that she has recovered without me worrying about her.

"Thanks to Sam. Sam, this is my sword master and the best swordsman in the land, Amemiya Kurando-sama.

　As Liese introduces the sword saint, Sam bows his head again and introduces himself.

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

"My name is Samuel Scheidt. It is a pleasure to meet you.

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

I am Kurando Amemiya. I may be called a sword saint, but I'm just an ordinary guy, so please don't hesitate to contact me.

"No, no."

　At first glance, he seemed mild-mannered, but Sam instinctively sensed that there was more to him than that.

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

　It seemed that the same was true for Hualien, who was staring at Kensei with a hint of sweat on his forehead.

"Sam ......, this man is quite capable."

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

"Of course."

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

　Kurando noticed Hualien's gaze and his smile deepened.

"You must be the grandson of Mokuren-dono, aren't you?"

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

"I'm Purple Lotus."

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

Nice to meet you. I am very much indebted to you, Mr. Magnolia."

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

"For your grandmother?"

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

Yes, my second daughter is frail, so she is in great need of your help.

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

　Magnolia, the country's best user of restorative magic, seems to be in good contact with the sword saint.

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

　However, since she had never met Kensei, she seemed to be surprised that he knew her grandmother.

(Maybe he was hiding it so that Master Hualien would not challenge him to a fight.)

　Kurando's gaze turns to Sam again.

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

"Your Majesty has told me about you, Samuel. I have heard from His Majesty that he is very good at magic at his age. I too have magic, but I can only use it to strengthen my body, so I envy your young talent.

"I owe it all to the good mentor I met."

"You mean Ulrike. The Kingdom of Skye has lost a great asset. Her death came too soon. It is a shame.

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

　Ulrike's death was regretted even by the sword saint.

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

　Once again, he learned how important a wizard his master had been to the nation.

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

"But she has a wonderful successor in Samuel. I know it will be difficult for you as court wizard and the most powerful wizard in the Kingdom of Skye, but I wish you all the best. You can always count on me, if you need me. If you are Lise's fiancée, you are very important to me.

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

"Thank you for your concern."

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

"Sometimes, Lise."

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

"Yes."

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

"I hear you've started holding a sword again."

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

"Thanks to Sam, I have made up my mind to pick up a sword again."

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

　It seems that the fact that the disciple who had once stopped holding the sword had now grasped it again had reached the ears of the sword saint.

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

　I could see the corners of his eyes relax and he looked happy.

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

"It's a very good thing. It was too bad that you, with all your talent, had to give up your sword. Of course, I know the reasons why you did not hold it, but your talent was still missed. As a teacher and a fencer, I am glad to see you back on the path of the sword. Good luck to you."

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

"I will devote myself to it."

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

　Lise did not pick up a sword because the family she married into would not allow her to do so.

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

　But now she is free.

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

　No one can stop her from going back to the sword.

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

　As Kensei said, Sam was glad to see her talented young lady back on the sword.

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

　Thanks to Lise, Sam became stronger.

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

　He would like to return the favor in another way.

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

"Lise, will you come back to the dojo?"

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

"What?"

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

"It would be good for you to train yourself at your parents' house, but at the dojo you will have someone to train with and I will be able to teach you. Mizuki, who was a good friend of yours, will be pleased."

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

"...... that is."

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

　Liese's face, which muddied her reply, was not one that was pleased with Kensei's words.

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

　The reason, of course, is that the man she once married is in this dojo.

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

　Lise's dark face made Kurando realize he had misspoken.

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

"No, forget it. This Dojo was not a comfortable place for Liese now, was it?

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

"No, that's not true!　I am very much indebted to Kurando-sama and Mizuki. I have many happy memories!　I'm sorry, but--"

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

"I know I don't have to say it. I apologize for my lack of consideration."

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

　Kensei looked at Liese and bowed deeply.

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

"Oh no!　You have nothing to apologize for, Kurando-sama. Please look up."

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

　Lise's panicked voice made Kurando raise his face, which remained there for a while.

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

　Sam, who was nervously watching this exchange, realized that the kensei cared for Liese more than a pupil.

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

　That is why he felt frustrated that Liese could not return to the dojo.
