Chapter 19: The Commander's Son Dedicates Victory

"Arth!"

When I returned to Alice, a worried Alice rushed over to me.

"Are you not injured?"

After saying that, Alice was surprised that there were no scars after holding my hand, but I replied with a wry smile.

"Alice. There's so many people watching. How about it, Did your love to me defeat your shyness?"

"Ah..."

As if she noticed what I said, her face turned bright red. Rinse approached and said that it was heartwarming with such a cute Alice.

"You won quite mercilessly. It's amazing how you beat him with a fist and the Shirahatori at the end without even using a sword."

"Are you praising me?"

"Yeah. I'm happy that your power is more than I expected. But is he okay?"

After saying that, I turned my gaze to the fans who were being carried, and then I shrugged my shoulders and said.

"Well, first of all, I need to correct that personality. I advised him to learn from this loss because he can't be used as it is, but the rest is up to him."

"Is it just my imagination that it looked more like a provocation than advice?"

"It's not wrong. It just seemed like I wouldn't be able to get discouraged if I didn't do it."

"Do you want his pride?"

"ah not really"

There are several patterns in a person like a lump of self-esteem. The type who is frustrated and ends in disappointment, and the type who crawls up from that setback. The latter will normally become stronger, but it will still be troublesome to handle. And if the former ends as it is, it will be easier to use if you take advantage of that mental gap. From now on, it depends on the scenario, but I'm planning to bring him to a level where I can use him. Well, it's okay to leave it as it is, but it's better to have a lot of pieces that can be used. Rinse said with a wry smile at my words.

"You're quite the devil, aren't you?"

"No way. You're a saint, aren't you?"

"I think you are on the devil's side because you are loyal to your desires… Come to think of it, why didn't you use your own sword?

"I was aware of it. Well."

I pulled out my sword and flicked it lightly with my hand.

"Unfortunately, I didn't feel the necessity and forgot about it."

"That's why it seemed quite difficult at first."

"Well, it was a worse sword than expected."

"Even so, let alone the last, it would be amazing if you won with just your fists."

"Swords can go from a great sword to a blunt one depending on the user."

"I think it's just you..."

After talking like that, Rinse left this place because he had something to do, so I approached Alice at the right time, took her hand, got down on one knee, and bowed my head.

"Alice, I dedicate this victory to you. Because of you, I was able to win."

"Eh, Arth? What are you doing all of a sudden..."

"Alice"

After saying that, I lifted my head a little and said after smiling.

"From now on, I will continue to fight for you. I promise that no matter what opponents stand in my way, I will defeat them and return to you, so please continue to believe in me and stay with me."

At those words, the people around them cheered loudly. "Kyaa! It's a proposal!" "Wonderful... how bold" "That's Misty's fiancée, Lost-sama... I don't want to be your enemy." Of course, the reaction of Alice, who blushes in front of me, is also the same, but it is one of the reactions of the audience. If I show my ability like this, the number of bugs that will approach Alice will decrease. After all, you don't know when Alice, the daughter of a duke, will be targeted, so it's necessary to keep her in check. Well, half the truth is that I want to show Alice a cool side.

I'm fine with the usual pampering me, but sometimes I want to show myself fighting bravely like this and aim for a gap. I don't know what a man's gap moe is, but I can understand that I sometimes wins Alice's heart by showing a different side. Well, Alice's gap moe is enough to understand. Alice's tsundere, kuudere, yandere, the last one may not be Gap, but personally I'd like to see Yandere Alice.

Thus, a new unspoken rule was established at this school. "Don't make enemies with the Commander's son" and "Don't mess with the Knight Commander's son's fiancée." As you can see, it's a pretty big achievement. By the way, the airy heroine sighed at that spectacle, but she didn't say anything in particular. Well, it's probably because that wicked person could have read this kind of development, but it's a secret that I was more than a little admired by the spirit of being able to see the duel over myself as a farce. The rest was about how that clown would fall, but I thought that there would be no choice but to carry it out well, so I left about half of it to luck. Well, if it becomes an obstacle in the future, you can just erase it, and if you can use it, just use it as a pawn.
