[Well, look. Don’t mind it too much ! The outcome of the match was fated, the reason you lost was because no matter what you did you would’ve still lost]
[……Elsie-dono……that follow doesn’t help very much de gozaru yo……]
Ahahahaha, Elsie who was being stared intensely by Yae returned a dry laugh.
With Lindsey driving the carriage, we face towards the checkpoint to leave the nobles living area.
[So what are you going to do now Yae? We’re going back to Rifflet town ]
[I wonder what I should do de gozaru……]
Ah, She seems down somehow….the atmosphere is like that of a hopeless salaryman. Resting her chin on her hand at the side of the carriage while looking aimlessly at the faraway sky.
[Yae if you don’t have anywhere to go then come with us to Rifflet and then enter the guild, team up together and we can even train together occasionally!]
On occasion she says. Well, I know what Elsie is trying to say. Just when they were finally getting along after a long time, it would be sad to part here.
[I wonder if that’s good too…]
[Alright! then it’s settled !]
[So forceful…]
I smile wryly unintentionally on the decision that Elsie pressed onto us. Taking advantage of Yae who became timid…no, as for this, she is probably worrying about this in her own way.
While thinking about these kinds of things, the wagon approached the checkpoint. Lindsey nervously showed the metal we got from the Duke to the soldiers at the checkpoint and let us pass quickly.
[At any rate, the world is vast de gozaru na….to think there was a powerful person here. I still have a long way de gozaru…]
Yae mutters earnestly.
[Especially that final blow. I wonder what in the world happened there….I certainly thought I took the sword swing from overhead but……the sword came from the side….]
[That was amazing wasn’t it. I completely didn’t see it even though I was watching from the side. Before anyone knew, Yae was already on the ground]
Yae talked about the situation at the time with Elsie as she started to analyze excitedly.
[Regrettable de gozaru. If I could just see that swordplay once more……]
[You can see it?]
[……Ha?]
Yae blinked in surprise with a foolish face to me who answered readily.
I take the smartphone out of my pocket and I load the match that I recorded a while ago and show it to Yae.
[This is, how de gozaru !? Ah! I, I’m, I’m in there de gozaru yo!? The Viscount-dono too! Elsie-dono is also there!]
[Uwaa, what is this! I’m moving on my own! Even though I’m here! Eh, this is not me but Lindsey!? no, Lindsey is also here!? How is this happening?]
[Calm down]
[[Ouch!!]]
I scold the two panicking people with a chop at the top of their head. They were hastily overdoing it. It was slightly interesting.
[This is my none-attribute magic that records an event at that time and can use it to watch it again…this is something like that. I recorded the match a little while ago]
[Amazing de gozaru na! This magic!]
[What magic is it?]
[Ah, smartphone?]
[Sumaartohon…That’s a magic I haven’t heard ne. Well, I guess it can’t be helped if it’s a non-attribute magic]
Elsie folded her arms and wracked her brains trying to think. Meanwhile, Yae grasped the smartphone and stared at the screen with intense concentration. It got to the scene where Yae was knocked down soon after..
[It’s here de gozaru!]
The sword that should have been swung down from the front of Yae, was swinging at the body from the beginning. Are? Certainly, that it should have been aimed at Yae’s head.
[What does that mean?]
[Who knows…?]
Else who was seeing the screen next to me heard it and shook her head as if she didn’t know the meaning,
[To, Touya-dono! this, can I see this again de gozaru ka !?]
[You can. How many times you want. Do from the beginning? Or from when you were beaten?]
[From when I was beaten!]
I operate it for a little then show it to Yae. The Viscount approaches Yae then just like that swings at her waist. As I thought no matter how many times, there wasn’t any motion. But, I’m certain at that time….
[Sword shadow……]
[Sword shadow?]
Yae mumbles a few words.
[It’s a sword technique to raise your fighting spirit de gozaru. There is no substance as it is an illusion. However, because it is made with spirit there is a presence. Therefore you recognize its existence unintentionally de gozaru. The Viscount probably used the sword shadow above but the real sword was split to the side. If you feel the fighting spirit and move it, that’s the shadow sword. The true sword without the fighting spirit was aiming for the side. I was completely caught de gozaru ka…]
So it’s….something like showing an illusion. I thought she would be depressed again after seeing reality, but a light smile is floating on her face. That’s…not a smile of resignation, did she grasp something. However, it’s slowly pulls back while she’s muttering something.
[My sword doesn’t have a shadow…hm. I see the reason why de gozaru. It is not to wait for the opponent to show an opening, but to make the opponent show an opening…that’s also…]
[Ooi, Yae? Are you alright?]
[…Alright de gozaru yo. I am grateful Touya-dono. You’ve helped me de gozaru]
I receive the smartphone from Yae who has a bright face and return it to my pocket. Well, I’m glad that she got the chance to get back on her feet.
[I’m going to train more and more to get stronger de gozaru yo. Together with everyone]
[That’s the spirit!]
We laugh together while Yae and Elsie does a high five. Nice, this is youth.
[Please include me too…]
A seemingly reproachful voice comes from the driver’s seat. Ah. It’s not like we forgot about her right? Sorry, Lindsey.
