On the same day that Liese sent a letter to the sword master Amamiya Kurando, she received a reply saying that she could come anytime she wanted.
The next day, the three of us immediately went to the Amamiya-style swordsmanship dojo.
Sam and his friends were in front of a mansion with a large plot of land on the outskirts of the capital.
"It's been a long time, Lise."
As soon as they arrived, the gate opened and a girl appeared.
She was a beautiful girl in her mid-teens, wearing a navy blue hakama and braided boots, with her long black hair in a braid.
Her appearance reminded Sam of Japanese style, and he felt nostalgic.
Lise's face, who recognized the girl, broke into a smile and ran out.
"Mizuki-sama! It's been a while!"
Lise takes the hand of the girl who greets her.
The girl also looks happy and holds Liese's hand.
Both of them have even a few tears in their eyes, so they must have been close to each other.
"Yes. We've exchanged letters, but it's been a long time since we've seen each other. How have you been?"
Yes, I've been well. I'm glad to hear that you haven't changed at all, Mizuki-sama.
"What's the matter, Lise? Don't act like a stranger, we are friends, please call me Mizuki like before."
Mizuki says in a slightly disgruntled voice to Liese's polite tone.
Apparently, they used to be friends who could talk in a casual tone.
"Yes. Okay, Mizuki. It's been a long time. You've grown taller."
"It's a growth spurt. I'm glad to see that Lise is so much happier than when I last saw her."
"--Yes. I'm very happy now. Let me introduce you, this is Sam. This is my fiancée. The other girl is Hualien. She's a friend.
I'm sorry I'm late. I'm Mizuki Amemiya. I'm a master of the Amamiya-style swordsmanship dojo. Nice to meet you.
My name is Samuel Scheidt. Pleased to meet you."
"Shi Hualian."
Sam and Karen greet Mizuki, who introduces herself with a friendly face.
Mizuki was a petite girl with a calm demeanor, and her every movement seemed sophisticated.
（She is a strong girl.)
Even without a fight, I could tell that Mizuki was a reasonably strong competitor.
It seemed that the same was true for Haren, whose lips were lifted up in an expressionless face.
"She is strong.
"Yes."
"He has magic power, but his movements are those of a strong man. I want to fight."
"No, you can't. We're not here to break the dojo, so please be quiet."
"Too bad."
Sam laughed at Hanaeren, who sighed like a puppy that has been left in the litter.
It seems that when she sees a strong person, she wants to make a match with him regardless of who he is.
"They seem like interesting people. I'm surprised that Samuel Scheidt, who is the talk of the town right now, is engaged to Liese."
"Am I a hot topic?"
"That's right. He killed Albert Frege in a blink of an eye and fought a dragon. Especially women want to marry him.
"...... Please don't tease me too much."
"It's true. Yes, but I know how much you hate being strong when I see you in person like this. You can join us if you want.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have any talent with a sword."
Not expecting to be solicited, Sam turns down the offer with a troubled look on his face.
"I'm sorry. You are welcome to join us whenever you feel like it. Oh, you came to see my father today, not me. He'll get angry if we let our guest stay outside the house indefinitely. Come here, then."
"...... Hey, Mizuki."
Yes?
Liese hesitantly approached Mizuki who was about to lead her inside the mansion.
"Well, this is a hard thing to ask you..."
"Don't worry, that man is gone."
"--Oh, yeah. That's good.
By "that man," I assume you mean Liese's ex-husband.
Liese looked relieved, but Mizuki's smile faded and changed to one of displeasure.
"Did you hear that? That man was married to a new woman, but they divorced because they couldn't have children."
"...... you haven't changed."
"Both the man and his mother were screaming that it was the other man's fault that they couldn't have children, so they had a mental breakdown and are now recuperating at home."
"You know a lot."
"...... now that I'm being wooed."
"Oh, no!
Liese's voice was hoarse with surprise, and Mizuki cowered her shoulders.
Sam, who was listening to their conversation, was stunned, not knowing whether to be amazed or angry.
（He dumped Lise-sama, married another woman, and then dumped her as well, and now he's courting Mizuki-sama. ...... How unprincipled can he be?)
As a man, I despise him.
Even if we put aside the fact that he divorced her, I don't understand how he could make a pass at Lise's friend, Mizuki, after that.
"How could you let that happen?"
"The d*mned thing is, that man is a candidate to succeed my father. I guess he thinks that if he marries me, he'll be the next saint of sword."
He's not that good to begin with!
"If I may say so myself, none of the candidates for the succession can hold a candle to me. I don't even understand why that man is a candidate.
"Why, Master Swordsman?"
"Well, I don't know what my father thinks."
"......Mizuki."
Liese could not seem to find any words to say to Mizuki, who looked somewhat forlorn.
Mizuki, perhaps noticing her friend's gaze, smiles and opens her mouth to reassure her.
"Oh, don't get me wrong. It doesn't mean that the parent-child relationship has deteriorated. In fact, we get along well with each other. That's why I'm wondering why you haven't made me your successor.
Sam, who was listening to the conversation, also wondered why Mizuki was not chosen as the successor if he had no problem with his ability and the relationship between father and son was good.
Hualien seemed to be in the same boat, tilting her head.
"Oops, did I say something unnecessary? I'm sorry. My father is waiting for you. Let's go inside.
With these words, Mizuki turned her back and the three of them followed her into the mansion.
As soon as they stepped into the house, Mizuki called out to Sam as if she remembered him.
"By the way, Samuel, I heard that you have been moving from place to place in the continent. Have you been to the Land of the Rising Sun, by any chance?
"Yes. I was there for about two months."
"I envy you. I've always wanted to visit there because it's my father's hometown, but it's such a closed country. You can tell me about it sometime if you like."
I'd be happy to.
I promise. My father's at the dojo. Come here.
Mizuki led Sam and the others through the house to the dojo.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
