My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

By the way, Harold still remembers that Erica had an older brother. The reason I’ve forgotten so far is that Itsuki only appears in episodes that have nothing to do with the main story, and the game doesn’t even reveal its name.

However, if you think calmly, if Erica is the only child, the Sumeragi family may be cut off by marrying. Harold’s poker probably didn’t come up with the existence of his brother because it’s not easy to talk about engagement in such a situation.

Well, that’s not a big deal in itself. However, I never thought that my brother Itsuki was such a serious sister complex.

It seems to be very troublesome to deal with Itsuki who has a black smile with Fufufufu.

“I’m listening. Let’s get in touch with me.”

The eyes are reminiscent of carnivorous animals aiming for prey. I made it. Harold convinces himself that Itsuki’s words and deeds do not want to deal with him, although he has a good grudge against him, but he still wants to gain valuable practical experience.

“A small fish that doesn’t touch easily”

Normally, I just asked “Can you let me go because my shoulder hurts?” I’m not going to sell fights.

However, as long as I had this mouth, I couldn’t avoid falling into a terrible atmosphere. For Harold, the saying that the mouth is the source of disaster seems to be the proverb in the scriptures.

“Isn’t it enough motivation? If so, you should get ready immediately.” However, it is certainly difficult to move with clothes like the current British boy, so according to that word, change to the clothes prepared in the changing room.

The top is a pure white bodice, and the bottom is a dark blue hakama and a Kyudo player-like appearance.

Looking at Harold, who was dressed up and returned, Task and Itsuki, some people sitting in the audience seats on the second floor took a breather for a moment.

A boy who is only about 140 centimeters should have his sleeves through a brand new bodice that is clean and clean, but it is not the first thing that he feels from his actions. Harold was giving off a feeling of intimidation that made the skin tingle.

“Is this the best thing?”

With the same bamboo sword that Itsuki holds, in his hand take.

When you shake it lightly to get a feel for it, it’s so light that you might think it’s not heavy. Harold swings the bamboo sword in all directions while making a wind noise.

A sharp and elegant sword-handling that makes the viewer’s eyes round. When Itsuki witnessed it, he gave a small exclamation of “Hey”.

I heard about it, but I changed my perception that I couldn’t be alert when I actually saw Harold’s sword technique. From Itsuki’s point of view, he is a hateful partner who kidnaps his beloved sister, but I can honestly praise him for training so much at just 10 years old.

At the same time, there are expectations that he will be able to enjoy the fight.

Itsuki is excellent when it comes to swords. It may be a human being in the area called a genius.

Therefore, even at this point in time, it is not easy to lose even if you meet a big man, but on the other hand, there is a difference in ability that children of the same generation can not beat katana at all. ..

It’s a lie to say that I’ve never been dissatisfied with it. Somewhere in my heart I was looking for a rival who was close in age and ability.

And now, there is someone who might be able to do that. Unless Harold is Erica’s fiancé, Itsuki would like to raise his hand and welcome him.

“It’s like a stick”

Harold’s impression of swinging a bamboo sword was that much.

It’s not a big word, but for Harold, who has been training with an iron sword, the weight of a bamboo sword doesn’t seem to be there.

“Well, are you ready?”

“Don’t make a fool of yourself. = “L50″> Harold returns words with a more refreshing and irreverent attitude to the task of taking confirmation.

I’m nervous. It can be called fear.

Itsuki is a character that does not appear in the original, but is a human being who lives in a world where RPG swords, magic, and monsters naturally exist. It’s not normal because it’s strong in it.

There is no way that a person who normally thinks and lives in modern Japan can win. But Harold trusts this body unexpectedly.

I’m troubled by the mouth that repeats taunts and provocations, but this high-spec body that realizes movements and skills that I was originally impossible is wrong. It will be a big weapon.

A battle with the original Harold that clearly emerges in the dark when you close your eyelids. Overwhelming speed and skill that made me lick spicy acid at the time of the first play.

The body I have now is a vessel that can do it.

And if you can manipulate this body by your own will–

(I don’t feel like losing)

Harold’s eyes are lit by an unprecedentedly strong light. With his glaring eyes, I looked at Itsuki in front of me.

The task confirms the rules after seeing the two become silent.

“Weapon is a bamboo sword. Attacks on vital points including the head and face, and use of magic are prohibited. There is no time limit. Declaration. Other than that, it is the same as the actual battle. Is this okay? “

” No “

” So it is the same as the actual battle Anyway? It’s quite lukewarm. “

” I may be dissatisfied, but I just want to avoid serious injuries. I don’t have it. “

” … Well, I’ll do it under those conditions for now. “

Rather thankful proposal. However, on the surface, Harold reluctantly agrees. The task was unknowingly relieved.

The reason is that Itsuki’s ability is evaluated correctly. A sword arm that is comparable to a soldier who has experienced actual battles is at high risk of injuring Harold unless some restrictions are applied.

Harold It’s not a good idea to injure the aristocratic son, the aristocratic child who is also helping, even though it is the stage he wanted.

Itsuki understood such consideration of his father without being told. If it comes true, I would like to fight with all my strength, but it is difficult from the standpoint of each other.

If you can, use your sword as much as you can. I was thinking so.

That’s why I unexpectedly said this line.

“I’ll give you my first move. I hope you’ll give it a full blow.” No. I wanted to know Harold’s full power instead of being unable to do my best.

It was a word that came out of a feeling of apology for having to cut corners against Harold who wanted a serious match.

“…”

Itsuki’s leeway attitude, but Harold does not respond surprisingly. The right eyebrow is slightly lifted.

Is it a sign of calmness that I perceived as trivial words and deeds, or a quiet anger that suppressed indignation?

As the tasks recede to the wall, a man with a wide shoulder stands between Harold and Itsuki, who meet at a distance.

After confirming that the two were ready for battle, they proclaimed the start of a mock match.

“Both are ready … Start!”

Harold, who was given the initiative, started to move at the same time as that voice. As you can imagine.

But what was unexpected for everyone was the speed of Harold. Stepping on at a speed that seemed to disappear, Itsuki was able to close the gap in an instant.

“Now !?”

Itsuki wasn’t the only one who was astonished. Many who were watching this battle either had the same reaction as Itsuki, or they couldn’t even speak out because they were suspicious of their eyes.

Even if Yunho, who was the only one to see Harold’s quickness with his own eyes, would have responded in the same way as everyone else. The reason is that the speed and sharpness of the movement have been significantly improved compared to a month ago.

I can’t take a decent response if I’m completely struck by the emptiness. Still, Itsuki would have been able to try to take the form of defense with conditioned reflexes.

But that was it. The sound of the bamboo swords colliding with each other makes a spirit in the dojo. During the reverberation, a bamboo sword fell to the floor with a rattling noise.

It was Itsuki who stood up without hands after a moment of crossing.

As everyone loses their voice, Harold gently lowers his bamboo sword and ridicules his words.

“If it was a real killing, you would be dead. Good, I’m not serious.”

Ironically Remarks that can be taken. But it also sounded to Itsuki that it had a disappointing color.

The bamboo sword is flipped to endure regret, and the right hand, which still has dull numbness, is firmly grasped.

“… Oh, you’re right. Let’s apologize for being despised.” The sentiment is not directed at Harold. I was ashamed of my stupidity, unknowingly looking down at Harold, with the intention of staying alert.

And at the same time I realized why Harold was disappointed with me, I was convinced.

(Is he looking for a rival who can compete with all his might? Like me)

If the position is reversed If so, Itsuki dreams. If I were to cut corners in the same way, I would still feel uncomfortable.

He may have put the complaint on the previous flash. On the other hand, he didn’t take it seriously because he had such anger.

Itsuki’s dynamic vision managed to catch Harold’s sword. If not mistaken, Harold intentionally flicked the bamboo sword by changing the trajectory of the sword according to the type of defense Itsuki took.

Itsuki interprets that he would have hit it with his hand or torso as it was, but that he didn’t do so implicitly, “You should be serious”. did.

It is correct that Harold purposely aimed at the bamboo sword. Even though it looks like 10 years old, Harold’s mental age is just that he didn’t have the courage to hit Itsuki, who is old enough to call him a child.

Even if you are prepared to get injured, you still hesitate to get injured. I wanted to make this interpersonal battle the first step to overcome such consciousness, but it is not so if the opponent is a child.

“And I’d like to ask you this time. Would you like to play a serious game with me?”

“Stupid You’re supposed to do that from the beginning. “

Harold said so without a one-second crawling. It was so easy that Itsuki couldn’t beat it.

Harold can be distracting, but don’t hesitate because he originally intended to survive in this world of weak meat and strong food.

“… Oh, that’s right”

“If you’re motivated, pick up a good deal.

“Thank you. But I’ll take the initiative next time?”

Picking up the bamboo sword lying on the floor, Itsuki Speak in a different crushed tone than before.

Harold who received it also distorted the corner of his mouth and returned it somewhere happily.

“Hmm, try it. I wish I could reach my speed. “

” I’ll show you “

To Harold who wants a serious match. Because it is courtesy of.

The tension of repartitioning is even higher than before. Both Harold and Itsuki gazed at the task as it tried to pinch its mouth in the air.

“I know”

A look that seems to appeal to both.

While observing the presented conditions, we will play a serious game. So don’t stop.

I felt like I was told that, and after I was at a loss, the task returned my right foot. After confirming that, Itsuki turns his original gentle smile to Harold.

“I’m going!”

That word signaled the resumption.

The initial movements are almost the same. Still, Harold is the fastest.

However, it was Itsuki who took the initiative as declared.

Harold’s speed will already surpass Itsuki. However, if you know that and concentrate, you will not lose sight of yourself.

And Itsuki hypothesized that Harold’s speed would be linear from the first meeting. The rationale was that Harold himself wanted a combat experience. Perhaps Harold lacked experience in the fight itself.

In other words, it is unlikely that an inexperienced person, so to speak, can move around freely at such a speed or interweave feints.

Itsuki’s guess was right. The slash he fired in the void, predicting a few moments ahead, acts as a counter and attacks Harold who appears there.

“Chi!”

Harold defends with a superhuman reaction speed even if it is decided. However, it stopped my foot.

This is the aim of Itsuki. I tried to attack without missing the chance that I created.

No matter how confident Harold is, he can’t use the steps he showed at the start when he was close enough to meet.

Even if I try to keep a distance, Itsuki closes the gap.

When it comes to a simple swordsmanship game, Itsuki has a lot to offer.

Harold’s sword speed, which is basically an amateur and cannot be used to add speed using his feet, has dropped dramatically, and there are many linear movements, so it is not a problem to deal with.

On the contrary, Harold reacts to feints because his eyes are too good. Because the “reading” in battle was not cultivated at all, the body was pulled by the excellent dynamic visual acuity.

If that happens, the victory or defeat will gradually lean toward Itsuki. A bamboo sword is set up to prevent a blow aimed at Itsuki’s torso, but it is brought to the limit as it is.

Finally Harold’s leg stopped completely.

“What’s wrong? I’m on the other side of the battle”

“You’re going to be out of breath!” p id = “L193″> “It’s like each other”

Compared to strength, Itsuki, who is more than 10 cm tall, is advantageous. Itsuki’s body sinks at the moment when Harold’s posture collapses a little as he is pushed back.

This blow is inevitable. Intuitively, Harold realizes. Even if you try to protect with a bamboo sword, you cannot prevent it properly if your upper body is deflected backwards.

It is Sekiyama that is chased after the bamboo sword is knocked down and becomes defenseless.

(I got it!)

Harold tried to block the slash aimed at the left torso with a bamboo sword held by one right hand. do. It’s a poor defense that can’t prevent a weight-bearing attack.

Itsuki flicked the bamboo sword-it was supposed to be.

“Eh?”

How unsatisfactory it was that such a voice leaked in the midst of the game. No, I didn’t have much resistance to the bamboo sword I played, and I fell into the illusion of shaking.

That should be it, Harold had let go of his bamboo sword at the moment when the bamboo swords collided.

A blank time created only in the moment when the launched bamboo sword dances in the air. It is a fatal opportunity to distract your eyes and consciousness from your opponent even a little in the battle.

I thought it was bad, and at the same time, it was a shock to my right shoulder that hit Itsuki.

“Rigid Strike”

A striking technique with bare hands that damages with the palm that appears in the work. Originally, it is a technique used in combination with a normal attack, and it cannot defeat the enemy by itself.

But you can literally defeat an unprotected opponent.

“Guu!”

Itsuki rolls on his back because he can’t stand the impact of his palm.

The next thing he saw when he tried to get up and regain his posture while hitting his back against the floor was to grab the falling bamboo sword and cut its tip. It was the figure of Harold that I hit to attach to my neck.

“Until then!”

The referee’s call to announce the conclusion echoes in the dojo.

After that, the dojo regains its tranquility. All you can hear is the sound of Harold and Itsuki breathing repeatedly.

Those who look up and those who look down.

Itsuki accepted his defeat while looking at Harold’s face, which still had a rugged look in a symmetrical and easy-to-understand composition.

It’s a shame to lose. Before the game started, I didn’t think I would lose to the boy who was three younger, so I feel regretful.

But apart from that, I was also filled with a sense of fulfillment that I couldn’t get until now. It feels like I’ve got what I’ve always wanted.

(I wonder if this is a rival who can work hard with each other. I lost but I feel not bad)

Not bad, but rather refreshing I even felt the rivalry.

“Oh, I’m tired. Can you help me?”

“I don’t remember hurt so much that I couldn’t stand. I think I’m just not strong enough because I grew up in a greenhouse. “

Itsuki smiles at Harold, who reaches out while saying bad things.

“I’m going to retrain from 1. So let’s fight again.”

“Hmm, I’ll never lose to you again.” I’ll definitely return this debt. “

” What’s that … “

Harold’s words as if Itsuki had won. When Itsuki doesn’t understand what it means, Harold replies moody, leaking “stupid.”

“I don’t think you were a bird head who couldn’t even grasp the rules of the game satisfactorily. You might have stated in advance that your weapon is a bamboo sword. Even if the smashed palm is an attack with a bamboo sword? “

” …… “

Harold’s valve is just Itsuki Everyone who was watching the game without a word loses words. Certainly, Harold’s foul would be defeated if he said so.

However, it can be said that Harold, who showed a humorous response in the situation where he was driven, was wonderful. At least everyone here thought so, and no one disagreed with the fact that he had won.

Except for Harold, who should have won.

“Ku, haha …”

Harold is too straightforward and stoic to say the result as a matter of course. Above all, Itsuki looked pure and laughed unintentionally.

This made Harold even more moody.

“What’s wrong?”

“No, I just thought you were strong”

“Sarcastic or you. I’ll tear off that tongue”

“Don’t say scary things”

Itsuki can’t help but have fun even with trivial exchanges.

When I turned my face to the person who suddenly felt the line of sight, I saw my sister with a grudge. You don’t even have to think about what that means.

(Oh my god, my position has changed. Harold may have a charm that attracts people)

I was jealous of being taken by my sister, but when I realized I was jealous of my sister. Itsuki became more and more laughing at such a strange situation.

When I did that, Harold seemed to get angry in earnest, so I managed to endure it, but in the corner of my head I was thinking about this.

(Harold is your rival and brother-in-law … maybe that kind of future is good)
