103. Spear and Sword (2)

Chizuzu!

Arya’s spear and Siabelle’s sword begin to intertwine.

I don’t know much about spears, so I don’t know what to say. At least, it was immediately apparent that Arya’s spearmanship was not at an ordinary level.

Always point the sharp point at Siabelle. Then, skillfully adjust and press the gap that occurs in the length of the sword and spear.

“… My sister is not able to approach me easily.”

I quietly agreed with Shione’s words.

She hasn’t even started actively managing mana yet. Maybe it’s because they didn’t put aura on each other’s sharp weapons. Siabelle was not easily able to break the hold of her spear.

Whiririk! Whoo!

Quickly rotate the spear to correct the distorted angle, and push the spear to focus on one point.

Kang!

Siabelle’s counterattack is blocked through her spear, and at the same time, she turns her spear and strikes Siabelle.

‘As expected, catching a spearman with a sword is beyond one’s strength.’

A user who has reached full maturity, Aria’s spearmanship was mysterious.

Blocks all attacks and avoids them, even if they do. Seeing that her cold counterattack was not easily put in.

It seems that Sia Belle’s pure swordsmanship, which has reached the beginning of Sword Expert, is still not enough to destroy her skill in spearmanship.

Woowook Koo.

Shione’s hand gently clenched into her fist.

Her eyes are fixed on my sister’s back, and she doesn’t seem to be able to fall.

It’s the first time I’ve seen him being so engrossed except when shooting a bow at a shooting range. Bastard, I don’t think it’s family. It seems like he wants Siabelle to win.

“Because it seems like they haven’t dealt with mana yet. Watch her a little longer and the tide will change for her.”

“Isn’t it? Her sister will win, right?”

“Because there is a big difference in rank between the auras of users and experts.”

As long as Arya doesn’t show off her spearmanship enough to easily defeat a knight of her higher rank. Siabelle can beat Arya.

But just looking at Arya’s spearmanship now. Although her martial arts are excellent, she would not be able to play with the sharpened level of mana with just one spear.

At my words, Shione relieved some of her clenched fists, and we continued to watch their battle.

As time passed, Dalian became more and more rough. Now, Arya and Siabel use mana to strengthen her body and use each other’s weapons without hesitation.

Caang! Whoo!

The cry of iron. And the sound of ripping air filled the gymnasium. At some point, the two of them got rid of their laughter and exchanged a quick and heavy battle that was so fast that it was difficult to follow with the eyes.

Endless workshop.

But as if that was the end, he lowered his posture. Siabelle’s exhaled breath gave off a distinctly different aura from Arya’s.

“Finally… !”

Shione’s expectant voice.

Sione wasn’t the only one who showed this kind of reaction.

Those who belonged to the count family and were cheering for Siabelle also raised their excitement as if they had been waiting.

“… It looks like you’ve become an expert.”

“Then really, did you fake it? In the future, show respect to knights who have attained rank.”

“Huh. It’s not even funny.”

Arya began to put her combos into Sia Belle. However, the weight of her attack was offset in front of the strong Aura.

I was pushed back by Siabelle’s counterattack that caught me off guard.

For a while, Arya captured her mana flowing through the tip of her spearhead. She stabbed her spear with unprecedented speed.

Caang!

A strong force rushes into her spear with the sound of a metal clang.

Seruk.

Arya did not dare to hold on to her spearhead and maintain her posture.

She immediately fell back and turned her body in a clockwise direction. At the same time, before her first sparring began, she pulled out her spear, which had been planted in the ground.

“Huh!”

A javelin that easily pierced the Orc’s skin the other day. Assuming a posture to fire the javelin, Arya gathered all her strength.

The moment the extremely dense mana started to spread all the way from the tip of the spear.

Blame it!

Sia Bell’s sword leaped out in front of her as if it were shooting her, and stopped right in front of Arya’s neck.

“I think I won the first round. Once more?”

Sia Bell smirks as she retrieves the skin-tingling flesh right in front of her neck.

“Haa… ….”

Arya replied as she sighed and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand.

“… Once more.”

* *

1 Draw and 2 wins for Siabelle. It was the result of sparring.

‘It can’t be helped.’

Sia Bell said she didn’t want to lose and came with all her heart and pulled out her blade. I can’t stand it.

After the sparring, Arya grunted and asked Sia Bell how she had attained enlightenment and reached an expert level. Sia Bell teased her and at the same time subtly added her own experience to the question of her aria.

It was a time when Sione and I were chatting about the sparring battle.

Arya in the front, Siabelle in the back. They are my masters. No, to be more precise, he came this way with his eyes fixed on me.

The two women, including Shione, had a brief conversation.

The subject is about the couplets from before.

It’s also the fact that we’re talking amicably, with no room to intervene. You don’t seem to care too much about my existence.

Let’s take a step back and pass the time. Their story ended before I knew it, after Aria smiled at Shione. The moment you passed me by.

She whispered to me softly.

“Later, what happened in the royal castle.”

“… Yes?”

“Let’s talk separately soon. Let Siabelle sing it separately.”

… I’m sure Sia Belle said my name was on her letter from Arya.

He said he would like to talk with me once if possible.

Arya seems to have not yet let go of her curiosity or doubts about me.

The tumultuous yesterday has gone and a new sun has risen. But even when the new sun rose, my routine didn’t change.

After Siabelle said she wanted to be my swordsmanship teacher. She hadn’t revealed her will to her brother yet. Other than that, I haven’t heard anything else.

The conversation with Aria also said that she would call it appropriately through Siabelle later. I don’t know the specific date or time.

I am only presuming an uncertain future and maintaining a certain daily life.

What I need to do now is….

After grooming my appearance, I go to wake up my master who is still sleeping soundly.

After looking at the full-length mirror in my room, I roughly changed my disheveled appearance into a human form, and headed to Shione’s room.

Smart.

“I will go in.”

….

Entering the room, as expected.

There’s no way Shione would wake up before me.

Regular breathing and a calm expression. Shione was soundly asleep.

Yesterday, you can use short language, since I took permission.

In or around her room. As much as I couldn’t find a single person on the way.

Without hesitation, I waved Sione and called her name.

“Shione.”

I called her name for a while and shook her awake.

Normally, it would have already happened, but Shione didn’t wake up easily today.

It was then.

Flinching─

All I could do was watch Shione’s eyes and mouth move.

‘Um… ?’

What the hell is my boss up to?

She seemed to be deliberately pretending to sleep.

Now that it’s like this, she has no choice but to test how far she can pretend to sleep.

From noble mtl dot com

I poked Shione’s cheek with my index finger.

“… ….”

“Aren’t you waking up?”

Shione did not move at all.

Then I gently pinched her soft cheek.

“If you don’t get up, I’ll pull you over.”

Farr.

Shione’s closed eyelids tremble slightly.

“Yes… ….”

It still doesn’t happen.

It will wake up on its own when the time is right.

After briefly making up your mind, let’s stroke her hair.

Finally, Shione quietly raised her voice.

“Yeah…… The sleeping princess is her height, her kiss…….”

Even as she said that, she let out a blank laugh at the sight of her eyes tightly closed.

The princess is not you, but Adelheit. Why are you looking for someone who will be in the royal castle?

She just sat there stroking her for a while without replying, so in the end, Shione raised the white flag first.

Shione, who even dyed her ears red, quietly raised her body—

“… ….”

“Shione?”

Poof!

Eventually, unable to overcome her embarrassment, I hid under my blanket and disappeared.

It was well past breakfast time when she came out of the futon again.

* *

Around the time when the sun reached mid-heaven and began to slowly decline.

Me and Shione, who had a light lunch, were in the middle of talking while strolling slowly through her mansion.

“… ….”

Shione, who had been talking well, bit her mouth tightly.

She wasn’t the only one.

Her smile, which had been standing quietly, went somewhere, and a cold chill began to flow from her.

To see what the hell Shione was looking at, I put her eyes in front of her to see what she was looking at.

I could understand the reason why she cooled her expression.

‘That man is—.’

A handsome man with neatly arranged silvery white hair and a sharp impression.

And the younger brother of my master.

Shion Cianella has returned to the Countess.
