Else was brought to the third training ground of the Kingdom Army. This is a place that Else and General Leon often use for training, and Else, who is supposed to be an outsider, already has a face pass. Thanks to this, we were able to enter without difficulty.
　Perhaps because it is still early in the morning, no one is training. The area is quiet, with only the sound of birdsong being heard.
　Else took me to the training ground and as I stepped onto the ground, I saw someone sitting in the middle.

''Yae? What are you doing here?
I've been waiting for you, Lord Winterfellas.

　Yae, who had placed her sword in front of her and was sitting upright on the ground as if she were meditating, opened her eyes somewhat and picked up her sword and stood up.
　There's something different from the usual atmosphere.

''........I heard you're going to take Linse as your wife?''
Hi, I'm here to see you.

　Else's gaze as she turns around shoots through me. Again.......... I had the same thing happen to me yesterday........ Well, since it's my sister, I can't help but get serious about it, can I?

"Does that mean you're going to be my brother-in-law?
Uh....congo....

　Well, that's what it comes down to. Else being my sister-in-law I don't get it.

"How do you feel about Linse? Do you really like it?
''Well to be honest, I'm not sure about that part yet. I don't think I can go as far as to say I love you. This is the same with Yumina. But it's true that I do love you, and I do want to take care of you.
Did she accept that?
Yeah.

　Hmmm, Else sighs. I wonder if she's dumbfounded. Scratching her head briskly, she continues to kick the ground on her toes with an irritated feeling. I'm scared!

She's always been like that...." "She's always been like that. She's the complete opposite of me...
I am much the same way, that I am. I'm not very good at getting on with things unless I have a reason to do so...

　Um, what are you talking about?
　Else equipped the gauntlet that was hanging from her waist in both hands and began to strike her fist, gun, and fist. Yae also inserted the sword in her hand into her obi and began to check the position of the chakatta.

'Fuyao. You're going to be fighting us from now on.
What?
If you win, we won't have anything to say about what happened with Linse. But if we win, you'll have to do one thing.

　Wait, what? Where did that come from! Don't tell me you're being punished for something?
　In front of me, who doesn't understand what's going on, Yae slurped out her sword.

This sword is borrowed from Viscount Swordleck, and the blade is dropped, that it is. You won't die from cutting, that you won't, but you will at least break your bones, so be careful, okay?

　Thank you for the reassuring information!

Brünnhilde on Winter's Night, too.
No, before that! Why do I have to fight you two!
'Well, that's the kind of form we need, that I'm sure. For me and my people.

　I have no idea what you're talking about, but it doesn't look like you're going to stop. I can't help it, I'll lose appropriately.........

''If you don't take it seriously, I'll never forgive you for the rest of your life. I won't even acknowledge Linze. I can't give my precious sister to such a random man, you know.

　Ugh. You nailed it..... Apparently, he can see through my shallow thoughts.
　Reluctantly, I drop Brunhild's blade with 'modeling' as I was told.
　I can't blame them, as soon as it starts, I'll use 'Slip'.......

'Oh, and no magic. I won't use 'Boost' either.

　So how can you read my thoughts! Girls are so scary!
　The gun's bullets were also reduced to normal rubber bullets only. Barely, though, they only forgave me for the effects of reloading.

'So you're ready then?'

　I'm afraid to ask them what they're prepared to do, so I just give them a small nod.
　In the next moment, Yae and Else split off to the left and right and came towards me as if to go around. Like a pincer shot out of nowhere!

Blade Mode!

　I extended Brunhild's sword blade and turned it into a long sword state, and then ran towards Yae. I could catch Yae's sword, but Else's fist would not.
　He cuts with Yae and ties up with her and slips past her without losing his momentum. When she turned around, she pulled out the New Model Army with her left hand and fired all the bullets in succession.
　Just when she thought all the bullets had caught Yae, Else jumped out in front of her and held the emerald green gauntlet in her left hand in front of her.
　Then all the bullets deflected away from the girls and flew in a different direction.

''No flying tools other than magic will work on me.

　That's right! That emerald green gauntlet was covered with a wind magic grant that deflects physical long-range attacks!

"Gun mode! Reload!

　Still, it would be a check, so he fired both guns and retreated with a barrage of bullets (though it was only 12 rounds).
　But Else didn't take it in stride and charged at the rain of bullets, closing the distance as he deflected the bullets with his left hand gauntlet.

''Blade mode!''

　While ducking Else's snarling straight right to the side, I dispatched Brunhild, who was once again in a long sword state, to the side. This time, Else ducked it, and in the meantime, I tried to keep my distance and adjust my stance.

''It's sweet, that it is!

　A double sharp thrust is released from behind Else. Wait a minute! That stings even if you drop the blade!
　I managed to duck the cutting edge that was approaching around my shoulder and dispel Yae's legs as they passed by.

''Kukku!
Reload!

　He pointed the muzzle of his left-handed New Model Army at the fallen Yae.
　But before I could pull the trigger, Else's kick came, so I had to jump back from the spot to avoid it.
　Nope, I'm definitely at a disadvantage in this one! It's just that two against one is ridiculous. And no magic!
　Standing up, Yae pulls out the armpits at her waist and holds them in a two-sword position. What is it?
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of it. I'm sure you've managed to duck it by backstepping, but this time the armpit in my left hand came flying at me.
　Whoops! You're not going to throw it? I thought swords were the soul of a warrior! Or maybe it's a side note, so no can do, or something like that!
　I twisted my hips and just barely managed to duck, but it was a close call! He was being ripped off, actually!
　Yae throws a flank shot to the side of the head and cracks Yae with both hands before getting back to his stance. He can't be dodged at this distance!

Ugh!

　Yae collapses under a rubber bullet. He still pays off his sword to the side, but I lightly jumped back and avoided it.
　However, Else was waiting for me on the other end. Mazu, too close! I'm faster with my fists than I am with my gun, aiming and shooting!
　A blow with all his might was unleashed from Else's right hand. d*mn, in this situation, it's all or nothing...!
　He ducked that fist with a paperweight as he deflected his body and let go of the gun in his left hand and grabbed Else's right hand as it went through. With that momentum, he turned around so that his back was facing her, sinking his body down, and then he put his right elbow under her armpit and jumped up at once.

''Nah!''

　With a small scream I heard over my shoulder, I slammed Else to the ground. I hadn't thrown a backhanded throw since school class, but my body seemed to remember it.

''Gufu...!

　Apparently my half-hearted back throw didn't do enough damage. Else quickly raised her body and tried to stand up.
　But faster than that, Brunhild's muzzle, which was in gun mode, was pointed at her. At this distance, she wouldn't be able to deflect the bullet. 'Hold up.

'Reload. I win.
You're not going to shoot him?
If you're willing to admit defeat, I'd like this to be the end of it.

　To be honest, I don't feel comfortable shooting my friends. I'll have to apologize to Yae later on to make sure he's okay.

''That's sweet. How can you protect Linse and the others like that?
It's just who I am.
You're right. It's because of you that I fell in love with you and Yae.
........what?

　Did you just say something? For a moment, my mind freezes.
　And Else's right hand, the red gauntlet had begun to glow. This gauntlet's ability is, as I recall, increased destructive power...!
　d*mn, if they don't have the desire to do so, it can't be helped. I pulled the trigger of Brunhild, who was aiming at Else, in order to end the fight for now. .........

''Le!

　Pull again. Nothing's fired. I mean, it's not even loaded. That's odd. I just reloaded it and I don't think... Oh.
　That's when I finally understood Yae's attack just now. The wakizashi you threw. That wasn't an attack on me, but to cut the waist pouch that was at my waist.
　Bullets spilled out of the torn pouch and before I knew it, it was empty. Reloading is meaningless if there are no bullets within a one-meter radius. ...I was hit.
　With a lightning-like step, Else enters my pocket and slams her fist into my chest. I don't remember the rest of the story from there, because I passed out.
