"--Michels!"

The room was filled with the sound of Jonathan's fist pounding on his desk.

His face was tinged with anger.

No wonder. His daughter's fiancée, Sam, whom he cared for like a child, had just had her life threatened by a sword saint.

Calm down, Master.

Sam is right, Father.

There were Sam, who had been challenged to a duel, and Liese, who was complaining of poor health and unable to stand still in the face of her fiancé's crisis.

Lise's feelings must be especially complicated.

Her ex-husband's family had ordered her respected teacher to kill her fiancé.

Haren, who was not present at the meeting, had gone home once to report this incident to her grandmother Mokuren.

She seemed to have her own thoughts on the matter and wondered if there was anything she could do to stop it.

She likes to fight, and she says that she learns a lot from watching strong people fight, but she still thinks that this duel was wrong.

"I never thought you'd move Lord Kensei, House Michel, you really want to do something about Sam, don't you?"

And we know why.

The other day, Julien Michel tried to take Sam's life. That alone is enough to make us angry, but of course Julien was planning to take Lise, Karen, and Stella away from Sam and make them his wives.

But he was beaten back and his crotch was crushed, making him incapable of being a man again.

From Jonathan's point of view, it was a resentment.

"Excuse me, father. Why did Kurarayu-sama do the bidding of the Michels?"

"Kensei-dono owes a great debt of gratitude to Mendez-dono, the previous head of the Michel family. Perhaps that's why. No, but would that be enough for him to do something so foolish? I wouldn't know."

I understand Jonathan's lament.

Sam and Lise also cannot understand why Kurando has made this choice.

Amemiya Kurando is the greatest swordsman in the Kingdom of Skye. He is not in the same league as Albert Frege, who was the greatest wizard in all but name.

He is probably the most difficult and fearsome of all Sam's opponents.

A wizard and a swordsman are not a good match.

A mere swordsman can shoot magic from middle or long distance to keep them away from him, but a swordsman of Kuran's level will cut down even his magic.

It is doubtful if he even has time to use his magic.

Thanks to the cooperation of Liese and Haren, Sam has become much better at close combat.

In fact, when he fought against the dragon, he used his signature suishinken in the close combat.

However, the kensei is more troublesome than the dragon.

While the dragon used many big moves to crush Sam, Kurando would attack precisely as a wizard-killer.

In a way, he is the last person I would want to fight, even more than my master Ulrike Scheidt-Walker.

"Sam, you have been challenged to a duel. You don't have to accept a duel out of principle."

I'll take it.

"Sam?

Liese screamed at Sam's easy choice to accept the duel.

Perhaps it was because she knew the swordsmith's ability so well that Sam seemed so reckless.

"I don't want to duel with Kurando-sama if I can help it. But he is willing to fight, and even if I refuse, he will fight in some way. Then I'll just fight him head on and crush him.

"Can we win? He is the strongest swordsman in the country, remember?"

Liese looks anxious and I try to reassure her with a smile.

"I understand your concern. I usually can't win in a hand-to-hand combat with Liese-sama. Just the thought of facing a kensei is enough to give me the creeps.

"Then!"

But I don't intend to lose. If you want to kill each other, there are several ways.

You won't get away with it, and I don't want to.

I don't want to worry my fiancée, but the worst case scenario is that Liese and the others will be harmed.

If the Michels were only against him, that would be fine, but if even Count Walker was misguided in his anger, Sam's choice not to fight Kensei here would be a bad one.

"I won't lose."

"......Sam"

"I'm not going to lose in a place like this. I'm sorry to Kotomi, Mizuki-sama, and your disciple Liese-sama, but - I'll fight with all my might."

Sam could not die, even if it would cause grief to Mizuki and Kotomi, who had become good friends, and to Lise, who respected Kurando.

He is determined to live for the sake of Ur.

He is not even at the top of the wizarding world.

Above all, he could not die without his beloved Lise or his fiancee Stella.

"It's okay, it's not Sam or Kurando-sama's fault. I only ask one thing of you - don't die, Sam.

"Let me tell you something. Don't die, Sam.

"Yes, I promise."

Thus, Sam decided to challenge tomorrow's duel.

He was nervous and anxious, but he had a reason to live, so his fear naturally disappeared.

It was not that he had never fought anyone greater than a kensei before.

We will do our best to win this time, just as we have done in the past.

Sam greeted Jonathan and left the room with Liese.

He hugged Lise, who had been anxious until she fell asleep, and tried to reassure her, and they hugged each other to sleep for tomorrow.
