　Afterwards, Sam told the sisters about his memories of his visit with Ur to the Land of the Rising Sun, promised to meet Kotomi again, and left the room with Mizuki to return to the dojo.

　On the way back to the dojo, Mizuki stopped and thanked Sam with a bow.

"Thank you, Sam. Kotomi looked very happy."

"No. I had a good time myself.

"Kotomi is not usually in contact with many people, so she was happy to be able to talk with Sam. Besides, it seems that she has decided on her future goals.

"I'm sorry I decided to do this on my own."

"Oh, no. It's okay. I'm sure your father won't object. It would be better for you to have a goal. But..."

But what's wrong?

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

"To be honest, I'm surprised that Kotomi is pursuing a career other than sword, but I never thought that she believed that I would succeed my father."

　Sam does not know all of Mizuki's abilities.

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

　He only knows that Mizuki is a strong man from what he has heard from Liese and from Mizuki's appearance.

　He could not judge whether or not she is suitable to be the successor of the Kensei.

　However, Kotomi believes that her sister is a suitable successor to her father, and Liese also said that Mizuki is the best in the dojo.

　Then, why did Kurando not make Mizuki his successor, but made other disciples as candidates for the succession?

(I know it's not a compliment to get involved in other families' affairs too much, but...)

"That's how much I believe in Mizuki-sama's ability."

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

I don't know.

　Mizuki's face turns dark, a complete change from the time when she was spending time with her sister.

"I know I shouldn't go into this too much, but at the risk of sounding rude, let me ask you something."

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

"...... yeah."

"Why doesn't Kurando-sama make Mizuki-sama his successor?　Liese-sama says that Mizuki-sama is the most talented of all his disciples."

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

I am proud of my ability to succeed my father. I'm not bragging or anything. I've never lost a hand match to anyone other than my father. That's why I don't know.

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

　Mizuki's eyes seemed to moisten slightly.

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

"Why doesn't father even consider me as a candidate, let alone a successor?"

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

　Mizuki does not seem to understand Kurando's true intentions.

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

　It is somewhat frustrating.

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

　Why does he dare to choose someone else when he has a daughter who is suitable to be his successor?

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

　There may be some reason that Sam cannot imagine.

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

"I have asked you before. When the candidates for his successor were announced.

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

"What was your response?"

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

"He said I don't have to succeed him. I told him to do whatever he wanted, but I just couldn't accept it.

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

　But," Mizuki continued.

"It wasn't that I wanted to inherit the title of kensei at first, either.

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

"Was that so?　But..."

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

All I wanted was to take over the Amamiya family and teach the Amamiya style of swordsmanship. But, rumors began to circulate among my students that the next sword saint would take over the Amemiya family.

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

"Have you asked Kurarayu-sama about it?"

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

Of course. But he told me I didn't need to worry about it. I was disappointed that I wasn't chosen to be a sword saint or the heir to the family.

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

I'm sorry for your loss.

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

"But I guess that wasn't the end of the story."

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

　Mizuki prefaced her talk by saying, "It's not going to be interesting for Sam either.

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

"Lise's ex-husband, Julian, has been coming on to her."

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

"Oh, by the way, you said something like that to Master Liese."

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

"From the way that man talks, it seems that he thinks that if he wants to take over this house with the sword saint, the quickest way to do it is to marry me."

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

"...... You've got to be kidding me."

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

"It's true. I don't know what made you come up with that idea, but the fact is that Julien is leaving his wife and is coming on to me. I know what he did to Liese and I don't want to marry a man who is far inferior to me in ability, but I don't care.

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

　Mizuki cowered her shoulders in disgust.

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

　She was right, it was certainly not an interesting story.

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

　The fact that the man who made Liese unhappy is making advances on Mizuki, who is also her friend, is both irritating and shameful.

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

　At the same time, I wonder why Kensei is leaving Mizuki in such a bad situation.

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

"I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't have brought this up with you, Liese's fiancée."

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

"No, that's fine."

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

"Yeah. Good. But I wonder... Julian is not a good enough candidate to be the successor of the Sword Saint.

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

"What do you mean?"

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

"To put it bluntly, Julian is weak.

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

　Sam's head tilted even more as Mizuki made this clear assertion.

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

（Why, then, is such a man a candidate for the successor to the saint?)

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

　No one was present to answer Sam's question.
