World Teacher - Other World Style Education & Agent Chapter 83

One Step Higher

— Reus —

"Participant Reus! Please head to the match ground since the match will start soon." (Staff)

As I parted from Aniki, the staff of the Fighting Festival came to me while I was heading to the match ground, and then I ascended on the platform.

Jekyll, who was my opponent, already had drawn his sword and was waiting. He saw my face and smiled.

I understood the pleasure of fighting strong opponent, but it was unusual for this guy to openly enjoy until that extent. I thought that such person was only Lior-Jiichan.

"Oh, you have come. Finally, it's going to be a tough battle." (Jekyll)

"I guess so. But since Aniki was holding back, let's decide this at once." (Reus)

"Do it if you can . But you know… your Aniki is really a monster. He could treat that Beowulf like a child, huh? How can he become so strong?" (Jekyll)

"Aniki seems to have started training since he was a baby, I think? I thought that was a joke when I heard it for the first time…" (Reus)

"Aah… it doesn't sound like a joke." (Jekyll)

As expected, everyone was thinking the same thing, right? Aniki was way too abnormal.

But… I came all this way to stand in line with Aniki. No, I was still on my way. So, in order to get even a little bit closer, I had to defeat this guy and fought against Aniki.

I turned sideways and I confirmed that Aniki was sitting in the seat for the participants. Jekyll also was watching Aniki in the same way.

"He looks like an ordinary guy no matter how I look at him, but honestly… I don't feel like winning. I feel like challenging Lior." (Jekyll)

"Well then, please be defeated like an adult. Because I want to fight against Aniki." (Reus)

"No, no, that is a rare opportunity to fight a person that strong. Even if I don't feel like winning, it is natural that I want to try, right?" (Jekyll)

"Is that so?" (Reus)

{Thank you for waiting. Since the maintenance of the match ground has been completed, I would like to start the second Semi-final match.} (Announcer)

As I listened to the live coverage, I pulled my partner from my back and took the stance of [Strong Heaven]. Of course, Jekyll had also taken the same stance.

"As you can see, this match is a match between [Single Strike Ultimate Destruction Sword Style] users. And everyone is well aware about the strength of these two participants until now. This is just my expectation, but I think that this match is between strength and strength.} (Announcer)

By checking Jekyll's equipment, his armor was a full body armor made of leather other than vital points, and he had a greatsword whose blade was shorter than my partner, and it had an unusual thickness. It might be better to be careful since there was a strange presence coming from that greatsword.

After verifying the opponent's and my equipment, I waited for the start of the game while quietly regulated the inside of my body with mana.

{Well then… I would like to start the match between participant Jekyll and participant Reus. The second match of Semi-final… starts!} (Announcer)

"Ooooh!" (Reus)

"Oraaa!" (Jekyll)

At the moment the gong rang, we kicked the ground and jumped forward while activating [Boost] at the same time.

The basic technique of 'Single Strike Ultimate Destruction Sword Style', [Strong Heaven], gave no room. As I swung the sword with all my power and it hit the other's sword, a roaring sound rose to the degree that it won't feel weird if the swords broke.

{What a terrible sound! Honestly, it sounds like an illusion that is not a sword, but a hammer!} (Announcer)

Our swords were grandly repelled by huge shock. Both Jekyll and I fell one step without able to hold out, but we immediately stepped forward and swung our swords. We had no way to retreat now.

The second clashing was also at the same time, but rather than the swords being repelled this time, it was jostled.

"Your strength is more than my imagination! This is fun!" (Jekyll)

"Me too!" (Reus)

If I had to be honest, I was also having fun.

If it was Aniki as an opponent, he would either avoid the blow just now or averted with a perfect angle, and I would receive a counterattack. Since there were rarely opponents who could directly receive the blow with all power that I could release, I felt really refreshed now.

"From Lior-san! To be taught of sword by him! I really can see it!" (Jekyll)

"Of course! I would have been killed! Many times!" (Reus)

I was really scared because Lior-jiisan occasionally made mistakes.

Hitting swords while throwing words, the sound of the steel hitting each time were reverberated, and the entire arena seemed to be excited.

The strength of mine and Jekyll's were almost equal… No, I noticed that I was pushing him only a little bit, and I felt something strange from Jekyll's sword when it passed for the tenth times.

"[Shattering Strikes]!" (Reus)

Nonetheless, it was a sign of releasing the technique, six slashing attacks which were released almost at the same time, collided and canceled out.

By the way, there were seven slashes if Aniki used it, and Lior-jiichan was eight. It was terribly difficult technique from six slashes and more.

"Haha! That's brilliant!" (Jekyll)

The moment [Shattering Strikes] ended, Jekyll released a kick while taking a big leap to the rear, so I accepted it with my Tekkou.

That's dangerous… I forgot that about the legs. If I didn't watch Beowulf match, I might not be able to defend that in time.

"Isn't that a splendid Tekkou!?" (Jekyll)

"Of course, it's from Jii-chan!" (Reus)

I was really saved because it was strong with moderate weight.

Jekyll wasn't only used 'Single Strike Ultimate Destruction Sword Style', he also used Taijutsu as well. I thought that he could only use sword because he adored Lior-jiichan, but Jii-chan was weird because he used nothing but sword at any expense.

Incidentally, I had Aniki's 'Single Strike Ultimate Destruction Sword Style', Garve-jiichan's Taijutsu, and fire spells.

There were times when I hesitated, but Aniki had said that I needed to train all around, so that I could response in any situation. Rather, since I was forced to do that during daily mock battles, I was naturally trained though.

"This time is my turn! [Flame Knuckle]" (Reus)

"Chantless!?" (Jekyll)

With the arm that defended the kick, I countered by releasing [Flame Knuckle].

Jekyll was surprised at the fist of flames that he had never seen before, so he instantly set his sword as a shield and received the fist. Since he was an adventurer who was older than me and with experience, his respond was quick.

My fist released a blast and blew Jekyll with his sword, but it seemed there was almost no damage from the point landing safely with both feet.

"Geez, you can use sword and also magic to certain extent…  what on earth do you want to be?" (Jekyll)

"For the sake of standing in line with Aniki. Besides, I am the weaker one because Aniki can do everything." (Reus)

"Haaa… if the Shishou is like that, the disciple is similar too, huh? Say… you're not pretending, is it?" (Jekyll) (Recheck)

Jekyll scratched his head as if it couldn't be helped. He started to pour mana into his sword, and wind arose from Jekyll's sword.

"It's frustrating, but your strength and your 'Single Strike Ultimate Destruction Sword Style' are better than me. That's why, even though it is unfair, let me use this guy." (Jekyll)

"I don't think this is unfair because it is a fight. Come at me without reservation!" (Reus)

"Heh, thanks! Well, I'm going all out from now on!" (Jekyll)

Jekyll, who had a ferocious smile, raised his sword and charged, and I also swung down my sword at the same time.

That greatsword… I couldn't see any other changes but being coiled around with wind, but if I was going to attack, I would hit it with all my power.

And the moment when Jekyll's sword hit mine…

"Activate!" (Jekyll)

The wind blew out with an exploding momentum from Jekyll's sword.

The momentum of the wind added to the greatsword, so I was overmatched and my sword was repelled. Fortunately, Jekyll's sword was diverted and I was unscathed.

"Cheh! It's a miss, huh…" (Jekyll)

"What was that!?" (Reus)

What was that just now? I understood that the wind spell was activated, but it was still invoked without chanting?

I didn't think Jekyll could do chantless from the way he was surprised by my spell, so if there was a secret…

"…Is it because of that greatsword?" (Reus)

"What? Did you notice already?" (Jekyll)

"I have seen similar things. Could that be a magic sword?" (Reus)

A strange pattern was also drawn on Aniki's sword which he got from Dee-nii.

A magic sword was a sword depicted with magic formations that could activate spells, but since it was very difficult to draw magic formations on a sword, and the effect was subtle, the number of magic sword wasn't big.

However, you could rarely find powerful things and magic swords in ancient ruins, it seemed likely that Jekyll found it in a ruin.

"Is that so? Let me tell you since you already know it. I found this sword in a certain ruin. When I pour mana into it, wind will blow." (Jekyll)

"It is certainly amazing, but it seems that you are not used to it yet, right?" (Reus)

"Of course. It is difficult to control it, you know?" (Jekyll)

In fact, the sword earlier didn't hit was because Jekyll's failure to control the wind.

Nevertheless, it was troublesome. In order words, he was using a sword supplemented with wind spell which was used by Nee-chan to jump high and far, right? Aniki said it wasn't like that, but I would be pushed if it remained like this.

However, if it exploded with that kind of wind, I felt that his mana would seem to hit the bottom around ten times…

"No, I can't show such a miserable fight to Aniki! I will break it head on!" (Reus)

"Now, you're talking! Since I'll be doing the same from now on, I'm going to slash you a few more times!" (Jekyll)

We kicked the ground and swung our swords with full power at the same time.

Although Jekyll had a magic sword, I might be able to win if I used other techniques and spells, but I wanted to win against him from the front. I wanted to be stronger even for a little bit until the next match.

Hence, the battle between me and Jekyll had become a fight of strength. It was a simple fight which would be stopped even with losing a bit.

Although I swung down with more force than before, I was still overwhelmed by Jekyll's sword which gained propulsion from wind.

This time, he didn't fail to control the wind, and I was about to be cut down.

"Got you…" (Jekyll)

"Uooohh!" (Reus)

I released one hand from grasping the sword, and then, I hit Jekyll's sword with a part of the Tekkou and forcibly deviated the trajectory. It was possible to do it because of Jii-chan's Tekkous.

The deviated sword hit my shoulder and it bleed a bit, but it was far better than a direct hit.

"What was that!?" (Reus)

"It's not over yet!" (Reus)

I forcibly swung the sword grasped with one hand, but Jekyll dared to get through beside me and avoid the swing.

Damn, he avoided it in the same way like Aniki!

"Ugh! You are really an outrageous one. Are you good at fist or sword?" (Jekyll)

Jekyll was surprised, but I thought that Aniki would avoid it with unexpected movement if Lior-jiichan did it as per normal.

{This is exactly a battle of power! It seems that Participant Reus pushing it through, but Participant Jekyll seems exhausted!"} (Announcer)

So, we took a distance from each other, and we're toeing the mark again.

I was sharply cut on my shoulder, but the bleeding wasn't that much. I still had a lot of room on stamina and mana.

But as the Announcer woman had said, Jekyll was breathing a bit ragged, and sweat spread on his forehead.

"Hey… isn't too early to get exhausted?" (Reus)

"Well, of course! I've been spending mana on [Boost] and the magic sword." (Jekyll)

"Really? I've been using [Boost], you know?" (Reus)

"You are abnormal! It is fun, but it is hard to use this sword after all." (Jekyll)

"If it's Lior-jiichan, he will be pleased if it's intense, I think?" (Reus)

Since Aniki was able to become his rival, rather than just gaining back the physical strength when he was at prime age even after sixty years old, he said that he could be stronger than that.

And even if the body was in pain, he was an abnormal who would be pleased if he could become stronger.

"Aah… Lior-san is certainly like that. That's not good, I was saying something pointless." (Jekyll)

"Don't worry about that, just go down quickly. I'm not going to lose next time!" (Reus)

"Even if you have lose twice, are you still going to try? Sounds good… but how are you going to handle next?" (Jekyll)

"…I wonder how?" (Reus)

I hadn't felt like losing yet, but I couldn't think of a technique to counter that the wind of the greatsword.

This time, I would probably try to hit it with sword, so should I purposely getting a hit and aim for the counter?

No, if it's about swinging, let's try that.

Unlike Aniki, the battle with Jekyll was purely a battle of strength. If I could do well… then, I could win!

"Ouh, it seemed that you have decided." (Jekyll)

"Yes, I have. More importantly, that magic sword… I might break it if I do it poorly, so let me apologize first." (Reus)

"Ooh, ooh, you're getting more confident, huh? But you don't need to apologize. As a sword, it will satisfy if it breaks during battles. It doesn't matter, alright." (Jekyll)

"Is that so? Well, I won't hold back… I'm going!" (Reus)

I have a transformation ability called as Cursed Child.

It was an amazing ability that wounds get healed quicker, the strength increased several times and the whole body would become a figure of a wolf. There was a disadvantage which it was difficult to calm since I would in excited state.

Because of that, I tried not to transform when I faced strong opponents like Aniki, Jii-chan and Jekyll, but… I always thought it was regrettable if I couldn't freely use that power.

So, I…

"Arrghh!" (Reus)

I transformed only the arm that held the sword.

It was inferior compared to the transformation of the whole body, but if I could add a little more power on opponent like Jekyll, it would be alright.

While feeling hot only on the arm which had become like another existence, the moment when my sword swung down and Jekyll's magic sword collided…

"Oi, oi! That is…" (Jekyll)

Jekyll's magic sword… was broken.

I was prepared for my sword to be broken, but I didn't expect the magic sword would break anyway. As expected of sword which had collided with Lior-jiichan's sword.

Although the arm was concealed to certain extent because of the Tekkou, I tried to calm down to dissolve the transportation while closely hiding the hair that grew to the elbow. I didn't want the figure of me being transformed to be seen by other that Aniki and my family.

Jekyll showed me his broken sword with a smile while raising both of his hands.

"…Haa, I am completely defeated. I give up." (Jekyll)

{It-it's been decided! According to Participant Jekyll's declaration, it was decided that Participant Reus is the winner!} (Announcer)

As the cheers sounded, Jekyll came closer to me to shake hands with me who finally dissolved my transformed arm.

"Congratulations. Next is the match against your Shishou." (Jekyll)

"Thank you. But your sword…" (Reus)

"Hmm? Aah, I said that before, you don't have to worry about it." (Jekyll)

For a swordsman, a sword was a partner and it was a very important thing. Even if Jekyll said that he didn't care, I thought that it was terrible to break it after all.

Maybe because that mood transmitted outside, Jekyll was loudly laughing while hitting my shoulder.

"Lior-san is strong not because of the sword, but because of himself. You made me noticed that it's pointless to rely on that sword." (Jekyll)

"…Is that so? However, let me apologize. I am sorry for breaking your sword." (Reus)

"Oh! Well, I've been dreaming to break your sword too!" (Jekyll)

"I also enjoyed fighting you." (Reus)

""Hahaha!"" (Jekyll/Reus)

When I noticed it, Jekyll and I was shaking hands while laughing.

We got along strangely well maybe because he had a part which similar likes me.

"I look forward to the Final Round. Show me how far you can go with that monster." (Jekyll)

"Leave it to me!" (Reus)

—

As Jekyll and I got off the stage altogether, Aniki, who was sitting in the seat for the participants, came up to me with a smile.

Even though he would be the next opponent, I felt somewhat happy since Aniki also looked happy.

"Congratulations, Reus. Well, I knew that you would win the fight." (Sirius)

"Of course. As Aniki's disciple, I won't lose!" (Reus)

"Huhu, those are reliable words. Well then, next is our Final Round, but… I have something that I'd like to discuss for a bit." (Sirius)

"Hmm?" (Reus)

"Oh, what is it?" (Jekyll)

There was Jekyll, who was interestedly listening to the conversation, on the side, but Aniki didn't mind him and kept explaining.

The matter of discussion was that even though there was a break until the Final Round started, he wanted to ask the staff of the Fighting Festival to postpone it.

"I'm not sure when the fight will happen, and there are many things considered when fighting you who are tired at the moment. Originally, we would fight without taking a break, but… I want to fight you in a perfect condition this time." (Sirius)

"Fuh! You're that confident, huh? Well, what about you, Reus?" (Jekyll)

"I'd like to do that too. I want to fight with Aniki with all my strength!" (Reus)

"Understood. Alright then, shall we immediately go and discuss with them?" (Sirius)

Aniki satisfactorily nodded, and he explained to the staff who came to treat me.

The staff was reluctant because complaints from the audience came since the break was too long, but the request went through because of Aniki's persuasion and Jekyll lent his hand.

{Everyone who is sitting at the audience seat right now! Look forward for the final round! I am also looking forward to it! Anyhow, since Reus got tired of fighting against me, don't you want to let him recover and see a fight between Reus and Sirius where they can go all out!?} (Jekyll)

While letting my shoulder healed, Jekyll explained to the audience by borrowing the magic tools.

In order to make it happen, the skill of manipulating the mood in the place must be good. There was no remarkable repulsion from the audience due to Jekyll's persuasive words, and everyone excitedly gave their approval.

"Thanks, Jekyll. With this, Reus can sufficiently recover." (Sirius)

"You don't have to thank me since I want to see that too, but isn't it alright if we extend it a little bit more?" (Jekyll)

The break for Aniki was extended from one hour to two hours.

I didn't think my physical condition will be perfect by doubling the time, but… it was enough for me and Aniki.

"There's no problem. Alright then, let's do this, Reus." (sirius)

"Ouu!" (Reus)

We still got Jekyll coming with us, and then, Aniki and I came to the treatment room at the arena.

I immediately removed my equipment and when I lie down on the bed in the treatment room, Beowulf, who was sleeping in the next bed, had a strange look.

"Congratulations, Reus-kun. More importantly, what is going on? As I can see, you seems not having a serious injury…" (Beowulf)

"Well… I'm going to sleep. So, goodnight then." (Reus)

"Eh? Wait a sec!?" (Beowulf)

Although there was plenty of time, it was wasteful.

I left the explanation for Beowulf to Aniki. I relaxed my whole body, and cut off my consciousness.

"…that what he meant. By the way, I want to ask a favor from Beowulf and Jekyll…" (Sirius)

"Sure. If I can do it." (Beowulf)

"Ouh, you can tell me." (Jekyll)

As I listened to Aniki's voice from the side, my consciousness slowly faded away, and I felt asleep.

—

"…eus. Reus, it is time." (Reese)

"…Hmm?" (Reus)

Waking up as I sensed my body being shaken, I raised my body from the bed while loudly yawning.

I stretched out my body as it was and confirmed my physical condition, but I couldn't find any sense of discomfort or fatigue in my body. The recovery until this point was thanks to Aniki's [Regenerative Activity] on me who was sleeping.

Even the wound on the shoulder which could be healed only on the surface by the medical staff was completely healed, and I could certainly said that I was in a perfect condition.

"Aah, good morning Reus. How do you feel?" (Reese)

"Reese-ane? Hmm… Aniki?" (Reus)

"It looked like he has already waited in the waiting room.  More importantly, how's the injury? Is there any uncomfortable feeling?

"It's alright. It feels like how I got up in the morning." (Reus)

When I listened to the time while getting off the bed, it was the time for the match to begin in a few.

By the way, only participants and authorized people could enter this place, so why Reese-ane was here?

"Sirius-san explained to the staff. Therefore, I was the only one allowed here. We managed to persuade them well because I can do healing spells." (Reese)

"Yeah, healing is very important. Even so, Reese-san's healing is truly amazing." (Beowulf)

Well, the wound on the shoulder was healed by Reese-ane after all.

When I looked to my side, Beowulf's fine bruises were healed, I thought that Reese-ane examined him since his complexion was getting better.

"Hehe, thanks. Leaving that matter aside, I think that it is alright for you to stand still. However, it's not good if you're overdoing it." (Reese)

"Ye-yes." (Beowulf)

Somehow Beowulf looked happy with reddened face, but it's pointless if more than that. Reese-ane belonged to Aniki!

"Nevertheless, you just recovered with only a little sleep. What is with your body?" (Beowulf)

"Eh, it was?" (Reus)

"Yes, it was! I was asked by your Aniki, and I was watching whether you could do something, you know." (Jekyll)

When I noticed it, Jekyll, who was sitting in a nearby bed, explained to me with an amazed voice.

So, I heard that Aniki asked them to protect me in case some fools might appear trying to play tricks before match and put their hands on me who was sleeping.

I thought whether there were such a fool, but since Aniki was right about fools could come out anywhere, Jekyll was also convinced that it might be true. Fortunately, it seemed that such a fool didn't appear.

"By the way, although he is your Aniki, he will be your opponent from now on and not your Shishou, and it should be alright if he is not staying around… that's what he said. He'll do it without exception." (Jekyll)

"That much is serious. I couldn't even put my hands and legs on him, so if he become serious, I can't imagine how strong he is." (Beowulf)

Yeah, Aniki was my opponent now. I didn't want to think that much, but it might be good to fighting without considering him as Aniki.

"Since I got the permission, I will stay near the platform. However, I would like you to return home without being hurt as much as possible." (Reese)

"Ou, Something unreasonable is alright if there is Reese-ane!" (Reus)

"Haa… what a troublesome child. Should I also bring Emilia?" (Reese)

While sighing, Reese had a bitter smile as if she couldn't help with it, but I showed my readiness with one arm.

If Nee-chan was here, she might hit me, but I was glad that she wasn't here.

When I was secretly relieved, Beowulf frowned a little bit.

"Reese-kun, you should bother Reese-san too much, you know." (Beowulf)

"Let me tell you, Reese-ane is Aniki's wife, so she is my Nee-chan. So, you can't though!" (Reus)

"Yes!?" (Beowulf)

"Wait a second, Reus! Why are you suddenly saying that!?" (Reese)

"Hahaha! You guys are having fun!" (Jekyll)

In a strangely noisy treatment room, I lightly warmed my body up while preparing for the match.

I put on the armor and sword removed on my body while checking them. Beowulf got up and then, we headed to the match ground.

While on our way, I informed to the staff of the Fighting Festival that I had recovered, and when I entered the match ground, two participants were going for a match on the platform.

Maybe they thought that it was bad for the audience who kept waiting for two hours, it seemed that a special match was performed for the participants who couldn't fight in the Main Rounds.

Although there was nothing about winning, there seemed to be several participants who wanted to test their skills. Apparently, it was quite exciting.

It appeared that the match was over at the same time I showed my face, and the winner gladly raised his hand. That was… the spear user who fought against Aniki in the First Round. Other participants were also on the platform, but… I couldn't see Kon whom I fought before, huh?

{The winner is Participant Godjin! It was a splendid way of handling spears by keeping the opponent away. Everyone… thank you for waiting. I've been informed that Participant Reus has recovered, so I would like to start the Final Round now!} (Announcer)

Oops, it was me rather than Kon. I had to concentrate because the real thing would start from now on.

When Fighting Aniki, a momentary carelessness would lead to loss.

"Um… good luck, Reus. Come back safely." (Reese)

"I pray that it won't be a match like mine." (Beowulf)

"Show me how will you fight, alright?" (Jekyll)

"Ouh, well then, I'm going!" (Reus)

{First of all, Participant Reus, please get on the platform.

Although Reese-ane had a worried expression, since I was called on the live coverage, I walked through passageway and took the platform.

I thought that I was nervous about Final Round and the cheering sounds from the audience, but my heart was mysteriously calmed.

{The strength of Participant Reus will no longer need to explain. Reus has the strength to cut down Participant Jekyll's greatsword, so I am very much looking forward on how he will fight Participant Sirius!} (Announcer)

After all, the audience and the match didn't matter for me anymore.

Now that I had grown so much, I just need to go all out to convey that to Aniki.

{Next is the entrance of Participant Sirius!} (Announcer)

—-!?

That moment… I certainly forgot to breathe.

The abnormality didn't only affect me but also on audiences that were visible at the edge of my sight. Most of them were shaking their heads while rubbing their body. They couldn't calmed down as if they were frightened at something.

In that situation, the figure of Aniki who appeared from the passageway was a state which he took off his usual long coat… In other words, he was perfectly equipped.

I had seen this state of Aniki only when he got angry in the school's labyrinth and when he seriously fought against the headmaster.

And the most unusual thing was the air coming from Aniki.

The Aniki, who was always cheerfully smiling, was unleashing bloodlust enough to make my body naturally trembled.

I remembered the existence of the god of death told in stories when seeing Aniki who released the bloodlust that even affected the audiences who he didn't purposely directed.

"Why…?" (Reus)

My mouth didn't work well.

Why… why were you unleashing bloodlust so much?

Aniki came over in front of me who didn't understand anything and stood still. He, then, opened his mouth with cold eyes.

"Reus. This is one battle, so come at me with the intention to kill." (Sirius)

Aah… was that such a thing?

With those words just now… I noticed that it was pointless to lightly think, whether he was being serious or with all his techniques.

If didn't fight Aniki with the intention to kill, I would be killed instead.

I instinctively… understood.

—

Part of the conversation between Sirius and Emilia's group on the evening before the day of the Final Round.

"If Reus advances to the Final Round at tomorrow's match… I'm going to go  all out." (Sirius)

"Well, I think that Reus also will go all out when he sees Sirius-sama himself. That child dislike if you go easy on him." (Emilia)

"Rather than going easy, I will fight with the intention to kill, you know." (Sirius)

"Killing huh… it's dangerous. Of course, there are reasons, right?" (Emilia)

"Aah, I was planning to seriously fight him soon, and I think that the time has come. So, tomorrow, I will fight with the intention to kill Reus." (Sirius)

"Wi-will it be better if you do it not on the match itself?" (Reese)

"Because it is a match. It can't be helped if the concentration distracted when looking at people, and there are also other reasons. There is a possibility that Reus may die if he doesn't do well, so Emilia… at that time, I…" (Sirius)

"Sirius-sama, please don't worry about me and fight until your heart content. Reus has chosen his own path, so even if that happens, that child… and I will never hate Sirius-sama." (Emilia)

"It is impossible to stop this… right? So, I pray the match will safely end." (Reese)

"Both Sirius and Reus are man. It's rude for me to interrupt. That's why I will firmly watch the battle between you guys." (Fia)

"…Thank you." (Sirius)

—

Extra/Bonus (Please be aware since this will destroy the original version) (TLN: It's a fiction)

"Why…?" (Reus)

My mouth didn't work well.

Why… why were you unleashing bloodlust so much?

Aniki came over in front of me who didn't understand anything and stood still. He, then, opened his mouth with cold eyes.

"Reus, the curry that I left for ripen yesterday…did you eat it?" (Sirius)

"Hi….hiiiiiii–!?" (Reus)

"Kyaaaahhh–!" (Reese)

"What's wrong, Reese-san!?" (Beowulf)

Sirius-kaachan's resentment on food was deep.
