Adele’s appearance here was no accident.
While in combat with Charlotte, he extended a root in the ground to check the sound.
The roots were buried at the moment he thrust his sword into the ground before facing Charlotte so that the opponent would not notice…….
If something was happening, the impact such as violent footsteps or magic would be transmitted. It could have been another student, but surely the degree of vibration would be different if they were really fighting.
That’s how he sensed it, and while fighting with Charlotte──he reached this point.
“A, Adele-kun ……”
Luna is a wreck and tears are streaming from her eyes.
Her face was crumpled, and her beautiful, glossy blonde hair was stained with dirt.
Adele turned around, approached Luna, and lightly wiped her eyes with her fingers.
“Don’t cry, okay? I don’t really like to see someone cry.”
“B-But I …… don’t want to put Adele in any danger.”
“I don’t think that’s dangerous at all.”
Or rather.
Adele’s mouth broke into a small smile.
“I’ve seen something like this before, I remember now.”
“!?”
The expression is invisible through the armor.
Even so, the gentle voice and words that were unsuitable for this situation hit Luna hard in the chest.
I couldn’t believe you remembered me.
I was saved by you, right? That’s what I wanted to say from the moment we met.
But I couldn’t say it because I thought I was only one of many for the hero called “Black Knight”.
And yet, you remembered me.
And now…
“Just like that time.”
Adele stood up and showed his reassuring backside that he had turned to hwe some time ago.
“Don’t worry, you’ll be protected. I will definitely make you laugh in the end.”
With these words, Adele slowly walked toward them.
Julius, on the other side, was slowly swinging his sword in a light tone, and Charlotte, beside him, was catching her ragged breath.
“Are you finished?”
“Did you politely wait for me?”
“Well, I wish I could tell that the hero is here ……, but unfortunately our partner was breathing rough.”
In short, he wanted to buy some time to for her condition a little.
Adele frowned a little at Julius’ reaction.
“What kind of moves did you make in the first place? I’ve never seen Charlotte breathe so hard.”
“…. well, if you pay me, I’ll do a quick shuttle run for you.”
“Then, I guess I’ll ask you next time. Also, let’s have Cain work on his physical strength together.”
The conversation was not very tense at all.
Or, if anything, Julius has no sense of urgency.
Charlotte does not remove her gaze from Adele while speaking lightly. The alertness is left exposed, ready to respond immediately.
Julius, of course, the master, senses this—.
“Well, after getting you sink the way I want you to”
Adele’s approaching feet finally stop.
The distance between the two is roughly five meters. The distance is such that if you start running, you’ll quickly get stuck.
And behind Adele, several huge green knights are lined up.
“…… why?”
“Hmm?”
“You guys are disturbing a normal living girl? And Luna is your family, right?”
She’s your family.
And yet, you are trying to force her to leave school.
The fact that Luna is being hurt is obvious in her tattered and dirty uniform.
Seeing Adele with blue streaks on his forehead, Julius cowered his shoulders.
And then—
“For my ambition.”
— A sword suddenly swung in front of Adele’s eyes.
“…………”
Adele instantly ducked the blow by matching swords.
But in an instant, Julius appeared in front of him and swung his sword.
The speed was blindingly fast. In addition, the sword fight was fluid. He understood how his opponent would move and how he could break him down, and his swordsmanship induced him to make a mistake.
This is the man who is called the reincarnation of a sword saint. Without a doubt, his swordsmanship and speed are on a different order of magnitude from the Cain he had seen before.
Luna, who was watching from the side, involuntarily gaped at Adele, who was passing them off without any difficulty.
“Hee, I knew he was going to do it, but I didn’t expect him to take my sword with such ease.”
“Have you forgotten what family I come from?”
“I know, knightly family. I know that you are a knight. I also know that you have been called a disgrace.”
Adele turned his gaze to the side as he laced up his sword.
Then, out of nowhere, Charlotte appeared and was about to swing her sword.
“You don’t learn anything, do you?”
“I haven’t lost yet!”
But in the middle of that, the knights behind start to move.
Charlotte caught the start of movement in her field of vision and returned to where she had been, as if frightened away from the predators.
This created a sense of discomfort for Julius, who had been sword-fighting
“Charlotte……?”
“Looking elsewhere?”
A moment of looking away.
Julius was quickly struck with a swift kick instead of a sword.
Julius quickly blocked it with his sword, but it was so powerful that he fell back.
Julius, who had moved back, held and opened his hand to check the feel of it.
Adele then turned to Julius and said, —
“……, You’ve been getting on my nerves since a while ago.”
“Why?”
“Because of your behavior.”
Adele thrusts his sword and opens his mouth with anger in it.
“Family, right? she’s your sister, right? You’re a human being, right? Why do you bring other people into your selfishness? Is it for the sake of spouting some grandiose nonsense for the good of the world and the good of the country? I’m telling you, whatever you’re saying sounds like cheap selfishness.”
“I’m not doing this to convince anyone else.”
Julius stands unperturbed in the face of Adele’s wrath.
“I’m going to step on the summit I’ve set out to reach. I don’t need to compromise, I don’t care about others. I don’t want to work for incompetent brothers. …… I’m me. I want to have everything I need to be a leader. Money, position, honor, subordinates, people, everything.”
For this he will do whatever it takes.
Even if it means putting that kind of thing to his sister’s face in the process, he will continue to go forward without mercy.
That is the kind of man he is.
Julius Carbone was that kind of man.
That’s why…
“…… Haa.”
Adele sighs.
And then, Adele slowly pulled out his sword and pointed the tip at Julius.
“You too.”
This time to Charlotte.
“You too.”
Adele thrust his sword into the ground once more with a definite anger in his voice.
And that’s when it all began.
“Go to hell and start your life all over again. If you’re afraid of falling, I’ll push you down.”
“If you want to.”
—Two against one.
It’s the final battle of the war, and the odds are stacked against him.
