My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

Impact that hits the body. Francis is blown away without knowing what happened.

The field of vision changes at high speed, and it is not clear what is reflected there. The body that lost its freedom rolled while bouncing on the ground many times, and finally stopped feeling a big impact on its back.

At the end of the vague consciousness, I recognize that a part of the fence surrounding the riding ground has been destroyed. Perhaps my body, which had been attacked by something, broke the fence and finally stopped.

If it is, it means that it has rolled for several tens of meters lightly.

It’s not safe to take an attack with such formidable power. Pain rises from the left flank. Eventually it turned into severe pain, and it became painful not only to move the body but also to moan.

Francis can be judged to be incapable of fighting right away. One silhouette that walks up to him.

Keep your right cheek on the ground and move your neck slightly to confirm its identity.

The silhouette belonged to Harold, no one else.

The crimson eyes look down on Francis with the freezing cold, which is the opposite of the flame associated with the color. In fact, it would have been an exciting and very boring result for Harold.

Perhaps such annoyance has been raised, Francis, who has been left untouched, is exposed to relentless words.

“There is no other love for the end. It’s a stain in my life, such as expecting a small fish like you. How do you take this responsibility?”

What an unreasonable statement!

However, the damage that Francis suffered was so serious that I couldn’t even complain. It’s all about enduring pain and repeating breathing with a rough, irregular rhythm.

Harold grabbed his shoulder and raised his body.

“Well, small fish should be like small fish and entertain me at best.”

Harold said something about Francis. I pushed it into my mouth.

Inorganic feel. Then the liquid flows out.

Francis can’t resist and swallows the liquid while throating. Immediately after drinking it, the severe pain that was irritating the body disappears, and the strength returns to the body.

After confirming that, Harold let go of Francis.

“Is it ether now …?”

One of the recovery items, ether.

I have tasted the taste and sensation many times. The damage he received healed at once, but he was confused because he didn’t understand why Harold did it. Harold in question picked up the fallen heel and threw it at Francis.

It was his weapon, the rapier, that stuck at Francis’ feet.

“Take it. The duel is not over yet”

“… That’s right”

Apparently Harold wants a continuation of the duel of the results.

I remembered the attack I had just received and was wondering whether to reach for the rapier. I feel scared when I think that it will be the prey of that attack again.

However, Francis’ pride did not allow him to withdraw so far. Inspire yourself to pick up the rapier and hold it towards Harold in front of you.

Harold Stokes.

His personality is notorious anyway. The behavior of killing people, robbing things, and trampling on dignity is villainous. He who doesn’t think of a person as a person can be said to be a devil outside the human body.

Francis advised his friend Itsuki because he heard he was such a man. You should stay away from Harold, if you’re threatened by him, you’ll help.

But Itsuki’s reaction was the exact opposite of what Francis expected. It’s not as bad a man as the rumor that is spreading, but rather the essence is the exact opposite. Itsuki seemed to think that the infamy was the intention of Harold himself.

Francis wasn’t convinced by that statement.

Then Itsuki said that you should see the person Harold with your own eyes.

A surprise attack on Harold. The result was disappointing.

He wasn’t surprised, afraid, or angry, and when he calmly grasped the situation, he gave in to Francis with just one word. One act that is more than enough to understand that Harold is not just a strong man.

At the same time, I wondered if Francis would be held responsible for his rude deeds.

However, Harold proposed a duel. It’s a story that Harold, who had already had an advantage, couldn’t decide which claim to pass depending on the victory or defeat. That’s why that action helped me to get a faint understanding of Itsuki’s assessment of Harold. It didn’t seem like a selfish man would do it.

And when you actually fight, the difference in ability with yourself is obvious. It was unexpected that he would be overwhelmed only by martial arts without using weapons or magic.

I felt its strength on my skin, but Harold is stronger than anyone Francis has ever fought.

Even if you don’t like it, you can understand it with your body. Francis’s attacks all cut through the sky, and were beaten, kicked, and thrown in good shape. Harold forces Francis to fight by forcing him to drink ether each time.

“Standing”

Physical strength recovers, and even if the wound heals, the pressure that continues to be mentally received is not so much. It’s already more than 10 degrees to lie down on the ground. Harold mercilessly utters to Francis, who is finally unable to stand up with one knee on his knees even after being poured with ether.

He was angry. It’s not that they attacked with a one-sided idea. Harold at the mansion didn’t feel angry, and it didn’t change until the duel began.

And a statement to the effect that it was disappointing. That gives Francis an answer.

Harold may be angry that he tried to approach Erica with only this level of power.

In light of what he says and does, Harold allows Erica to be associated with someone other than her fiancée. But that didn’t seem to be because he was indifferent to Erica.

Perhaps he is looking for someone other than himself to be entrusted with Erica. He encouraged Francis to develop a relationship with Erica to see if he could have enough Erica nights.

I don’t know why I’m trying to do that. However, there are some things that can be convinced if you think so.

Itsuki said Harold wasn’t such a bad guy, and he would have intentionally suffered a number of bad publicity. If that were the case, Harold might think:

I can’t stand next to Erica, and if I’m by my side, she’s in danger.

So if you’re looking for someone who is suitable for Erica and who can protect her. What if the person who approached Erica was a man who wasn’t worth discussing?

Isn’t that the cause of Harold’s anger?

If so, Francis wants to say this.

Don’t be silly.

Anger that boiled up from the bottom of my stomach.

Harold is strong. If it is an individual, it will be one of the top-level people in the kingdom.

And I’m smart. Francis is incomparable to the insights that can be judged instantly by adding various factors and the wisdom to carry things as desired. At the age of eighteen, he has overwhelming martial power, excellent intelligence, and the courage to be struck by a sword.

The world describes such human beings as geniuses and geniuses.

It’s stupid that a man who is willing to suffer a stigma. Even more so, he hates putting his fiancée at risk and wants to withdraw.

Why do you have to do such a roundabout thing?

As strong as Harold, and good enough, you should be able to protect Erica from most things. With so much thought about Erica’s fate and thinking of her so angry with Francis, why can’t she just move away from Erica?

“Don’t be silly …”

Francis slowly stood up and muttered.

The left hand that holds the rapier is naturally full of power.

“What?”

“Don’t be silly. You’re stronger than I can. Why don’t you try to protect Erica in a more legitimate way !? You can do it! Isn’t that the best for her !? “

Francis Shouts out his thoughts. It was both an anger to Harold and a pity for himself who couldn’t beat him.

“…”

“Harold, you’re a person I can’t do, but you do that. I’m trying to entrust it to another person without trying. If Erica couldn’t be happy as a result, I can’t help blaming you! “

Erica If you care about it, you should protect it with your own hands. Not doing that is surely just an escape.

I’m just running away from the fear of not being able to protect Erica myself. The feeling of being defeated by such a coward is-

“Speaks loudly without knowing anything”

It was cut off by Harold’s chilling voice. Harold gives off a feeling of intimidation that will calm the excitement in an instant.

Sweat blows from the whole body of Francis, and the trembling of the body cannot be stopped.

The pressure that I have never experienced in front of an unknown monster.

The moment I felt it, Harold’s appearance was blurred. By the time he realized that, Harold had already closed the gap.

A gimmick that is head-on, but completely hollow. A surprise attack with pure speed without any tricks.

The black sword in his left hand flutters. Francis’s body remains stiff and immobile due to the imminent and dense signs of death.

A momentary event where there is no grace to prepare for one’s death.

But the death did not come. Instead, Francis perceived a shock to his left arm.

Unable to bear it, Francis leaned back and fell backwards as if he had a sticky butt.

“I’ll give you one piece of advice that isn’t worth killing.”

Francis, who can only look up at Harold, has a terrible eye. I will tell you as it is.

“Erica is not a weak and ephemeral woman who can only be protected. She is an unwavering woman who has the power to fight and the will to rebel against her destiny. I can’t handle it because I think it’s just a pretty flower. The essence of Erica is a big tree. “

It’s not a pretty flower, but a powerful big tree. That’s what Erica looks like from Harold.

Yes, Francis said yes. Harold believes in Erica. He is the one who stands in the same place as himself without having to protect himself.

It would have been ridiculous to see her being called by Francis, who is far weaker than herself, to protect her.

After all, it makes me realize that I could only see the outside of Erica.

I fell in love with that beauty and thought that her personality was also in line with that beauty. It’s no wonder they feel uncomfortable and indignant.

Understanding and feelings for Erica are far from Harold.

“… I lost”

“Can you see this?”

Harold shows off his sword.

It’s true that Harold loses if he uses a weapon, but Francis isn’t shameless enough to claim that.

While suffering a perfect defeat so far

“Don’t tell me. It’s a problem before the rules I’ve agreed on. I I wasn’t qualified to duel with Harold. ” Itsuki, who was watching, declares so.

Francis surrendered and Harold who violated the rules. Both are winning and losing.

For Francis, it would be cleaner if he was declared defeated, but considering the points of failure, this area may be better.

“Chi”

Harold slammed his tongue and turned his back on them, wondering if he was still dissatisfied. Francis stops his back.

“Wait Harold. Even if the duel according to the rules is a draw, the fight itself is my complete defeat. I want you to follow what you say.”

>

Before I knew it, the main purpose of the duel was replaced by a marriage with Erica, but this was the main subject.

“It’s already white. If you’re arguing Erica, love it. I hope you’ll be the man you deserve.”

Harold left the scene, leaving only saying, “I’m going back. You’re dead in the wild for a while.” This time, I can’t stop the back.

Francis lay on his back.

“Hey Itsuki”

“What’s that?”

“The fool is mine

“I can’t see the story, but it’s rare for you to despise yourself.”

“A man as a warrior Even so, I was able to show the difference in case. I felt a lot. “

Harold finally said that he should be a man who matches Erica. In other words, acquire strength that is comparable to yourself.

I didn’t look at Francis, who exposed rudeness and rudeness, but when I thought that he acknowledged me even a little while saying that it was disappointing, mysterious and joyful feelings It will come up.

Why is Itsuki longing for him? If you have experienced the size of such a vessel up close, you cannot help but agree that it will happen.

“I wasn’t there yet, but today I feel like I’ve seen the way I should aim”

I lie down and look up The sky was so high that it could be pulled out, and it was cultivated to spread forever.

To Francis, it seemed like it was a sign of his future.
