Chapter 41 - Reason Behind Strength

The duel ended and it was decided that I would be moving into the same room as Yurina-san. I started moving my luggage into the room.

「Eric will be staying in the same room as Yurina-san… How nice」

「Nn? What? Tina, did you want to room with Yurina-san?」

「That’s not it! I want to room with Eric!」

Well, it’s not an exaggeration to say that Tina and I always lived together in the village.

We’ve slept in the same bed too huh.

「I think there were empty rooms at the magic knight dormitory. Can’t me and Eric room together there?」

Author remarks: Due to everyone’s efforts, this got first place in daily rankings; thank you very much! I will continue to try hard so please continue to support me!

「We will now start the duel between Yurina Kaspar and Eric Aurin. Please begin」

Although Jere-san told us to start, neither I nor Kasper-san moved.

Both of us were observing the other with our hands gripping the sword.

She gripped her sword from the middle of the handle and turned her blade towards me. The form looked very suitable and pretty. She must have learned it from someone.

I held my handle from the bottom, with the point of my sword not aiming towards her, but the ground below.

Chapter 39 - Duel

「Wai, wait Tina! I didn’t do anything wrong!」

I started explaining while shaking my hands.

If someone were to observe from the side, it would have looked unsightly but I wasn’t in a situation to care.

「Mm, I believe that Eric didn’t do anything wrong. So… who is that girl? What did you do?」

Tina, whose eyes were still emanating darkness was coming closer and closer.

Her voice was low, flat, and devoid of emotion but her face was still smiling for some reason. I’m scared.
