"You've done some weird tricks... but the duel is my Win !!" (Stupid Spear) Currently his spear is cm's from Masters face

'I swear one day I will kill him and that Banshee  .. or at least mame them.' I get ready to dash forward incase the spear idiot move his spear closer.

"He won, Spear Hero Won !!" (Trash "King") he declares as I see Master begin to lift himself off while the spear idiot begins to walk off with his back to Master.

"... Hold it right there !! Someone just interfered with out 1-on-1 duel ! It doesn't count... !" (Master) While he's saying this he has a look of pure rage on his face

'If he gets anymore angry he'll turn into a berserker...'

"Haa? What are you even talking about ?" (Spear Baka)

"One of your party members attacked me with a spell !! That's why I..." (Master)

"Why you fell over ?! Ha, you sore losers sure know how to whine." (Stupid Spear) he begins to chuckle lightly

"BULLSHIT !!" (Master) he turns to the crowd "all of you saw what she did, didn't you ?! It should be obvious what happened wasn't natural !!" (Master)

Two Knights begin to walk up to me

"Come with us so we can free you." (Knights 1) he roughly pulls my arm and begins to drag me away

"Let. Me. Go." I plant my feet hard on the ground materialising my greaves and boots, he keeps trying to pull me "I can walk myself." I pull my arm out of his grip and begin to walk beside the Knight

He sees its futile to try pull me along and continues to walk torwards where I see two Knights holding Raphtalia, I still can't look at her while she's all tied up like that.

"Don't be fooled by his outlandish claims !! That is the criminal hero ! To speak such slander towards sir Motoyasu after your loss... how unsightly !" (Banshee Bitch)

"Indeed. It is just as you say, daughter of mine." (Trash)

The Banshee begins to run torwards the Spear Idiot and jumps on him, I ignore them and walk and stand near Raphtalia, still surrounded by Knights but this time what looks like mages are coming torwards us.

"-s promised, let's remove these two poor girls curses ! Gentlemen !" (Banshee) I hear her call torwards the mages

They first do Raphtalia by ripping the top off her shirt revealing her cleavage along with a curse symbol and then pour some weird liquid on it which makes her scream a bit which makes me really, really angry.

'I- I must control myself she'll stop soon *Ahhhh* She'll stop soon *Ahhhh* She'll stop so-' I hear her stop screaming 

I look over to Master and I see him with a face with some how even more rage than he had earlier.

After she stopped screaming they let go of Raphtalia and she just stand there, I'm guessing in deep thought.

They guide me over to the mages and once I'm in front of them the Knights once again grab my arms and put them behind my back...

"Let. Me. Go... I won't say it again."

'I've warned them if they keep my like this they won't have arms'I look straight at the Banshee as she Saunders over to my and with a smug smile whispers in my hear

"I'll quite enjoy hearing your scre-*slap (Banshee) she is cut short by the sound of Raphtalia slapping the Spear Idiot

I use this chance to materialise my arm guards which makes the Knights let me go. Once I am out of their grip I punch the Banshee straight in the face, I didn't want to knock her out but I may or may not of accidently done so.

"... when did I ever... Have i ever asked for your help ?!" (Raphtalia)

"...Eh ?! But bot of you are slaves ?! Wasn't he abusing bot of you ?" (Stupid Spear)

"The curse was only ever there for when I was too scared to fight for myself ! Saber isn't even cursed ! Master Naofumi has never made us do anything we didn't want to." (Raphtalia)

"That's obviously wrong!!" (Spear Idiot)

"I answered Masters call. And you dare say I was wrong to do so. You're lucky I don't execute you on the spot for soiling my honor not just as a Masters servant but also as a knight. Master can't fight so he summoned me to aid Raphtalia in fighting for him." I say with as much force as I could

"There's no need for you to do it ! He just wants to use you until you both are no longer of use to him !" (Spear Bastard)

"Master Naofumi protects me from monsters when I need his help ! He let's me sleep when I get tired !... tell me, would you ever reach out to a filthy sick slave ?" (Raphtalia) I put my hand on her shoulder to reassure her as she looks like she's seconds from crying

"Master Naofumi provided me with proper meals and medicine that's was effective against my illness... using up his precious money and ingredients... would you be able to do that ?" (Raphtalia) she begins to walk torwards the Spear Idiot

"O-of course !" (Stupid Spear)

"Then there should be a slave, someone other than me, beside you right now." (Raphtalia)

I follow behind her as she walks past the spear idiot and towards Master.

"..Master Naofumi" (Raphtalia) she says this while reaching out to Master I continue to walk and stop just besides her

"STAY BACK !!!" (Master)

"I knew about... the rumours saying you were a horrible hero who raped his partner..."

"That's right ! I'm sure both of yo-" (Spear Idiot)

"Shut up. You have no right to continue to speak. Your worse than Master in every way." I look him straight in the eye and then turn back to Master

"Stop !" (Master) he slaps her hands away from him "don't touch me ! Women are...! I... didn't do it..." (Master) he begins to cry while sti looking at the ground

"Master can you only believe people who can't disobey you... ? Please calm your anger."

"Shut up." (Master)

"We only wish for you to lend us an ear, so that you can believe us that even if the whole world tries to blame you... We'll keep refuting them as many times as it takes." (Raphtalia)

I kneel down as Raphtalia hugs Master

"We know you didn't do it !!" (Raphtalia & Saber)

"Huh...?" (Master) his eyes look so shocked

"I believe you, Master Naofumi !!" (Raphtalia)

He falls back as she let's go of the hug

"Who... who are you ... ?" (Master)

"It's me ! Raphtalia !!" (Raphtalia)

I know this isn't the right time but seeing them like this makes me chuckle lightly as I smile slightly

"No way No way No way ! I mean Raphtalias a kid !" (Master) he looks over to me "Raphtalia is a kid isn't she, Saber ?!" (Master)

I just keep chuckling to his antics

"It's a perfect occasion, so I'll tell you. Demi-humans aren't human. There is a reason we are discriminated as monsters. When we raise out level during childhood, our bodies will rapidly grow in proportion to be the most efficient it can be... so I'm mentally a child... but physically, I'm mostly an adult. Do you still not believe me ? Then please, place the curse on me again. Please put proof on me. Proof that from here upon, I will be your sword... mighty shield hero who saved me... please !" (Raphtalia)

I put one knee on the floor in the same position as someone receiving knighthood would do"Master, on my honor and as my name as the King of Knights I swear I will follow you in any endeavours you partake in. Master I ask of you please believe us"

At this he just breaks down and starts crying and leans his head on Raphtalias chest as she hugs him. I stand up and turn around to hear the other two "heros" talking to the Stupid Spear who is helping the Banshee

"-he duel was your loss, Motoyasu. I won't say who did it, but one of your party members attacked Naofumi with Magic. It seemed like it was wind magic, so it was kind of hard to notice, but there must be other people who saw it too." (B-tech Kirito)

"ᵇᵘᵗ ⁿᵒ ᵒⁿᵉ ᵃʳᵒᵘⁿᵈ ˢᵃⁱᵈ ᵃⁿʸᵗʰⁱⁿᵍ"ź

"They can't oppose the kind and the Princess ! Just look around you, you'll see ! First of all, he was dragged into a fight he just couldn't win." ("Bow"... "archer" hero??)

"Hmm... give them the lowest amount of payment." (Trash)

The two "heros" begin to walk away

"Hey-- wait ! I'm not wrong !! It very possible that he brainwashed both Raphtalia and Saber !" (Braindead Spear)

I turn back around and sit back down just beside Master and Raphtalia, closing my eyes I begin to reflect on what's happened.

"You're still able to say those things even after having seen them like that... impressive." (Kirito)

*sob* *sob*

Master kept crying until the next morning neither me or Raphtalia moved an inch from that spot, until he stopped.
