Chapter 71: 69

“Huh…!”

Gakiin! And the sound of fierce battle echoes through the throne room.

“Seyaaaaah!”

Every time he swings his sword, Lent cries out, and I try my best to calmly counter each of his attacks with the pommel of my spear.

This guy is very strong in general.

He is a young man called Lent, who is a level 58 fighter and has not been defeated by me at all so far. His level is probably in the late 40s or 50s. His swordsmanship is also reasonably solid, giving the impression of being faithful to the basics.

“What’s the matter, Gustav! Can’t you get a hold of me?”

I jumped backwards to avoid Lent’s sword, which was coming at me horizontally.

“…Hey, Nanjou Lent-kun. Are all Imperial soldiers as strong as you?”

“Of course not. I am the Seven Warriors. I’ve had special powers since the moment I was summoned.”

Summoned? What’s that, what’s the setup?

“But I was not proud. I’ve spent the past month learning the art of swordsmanship in order to avenge Agranis-san one day, I’m sure. If I learn how to use a sword on top of my original high status, there is no one who can stand up to me anymore!”

Now [one month], and [original high status]? You say a lot of things that bother me, this guy.

But if there are so many keywords scattered around, you can guess what they are.

“Did you guys possibly transfer to another world?”

“Nh?”

Lent opens his eyes and flinches. It’s an attitude that makes it clear that he’s shaken up more than ever.

“Why would someone from this world, from the kingdom, know such a thing…?”.

I see, you didn’t think that I wouldn’t be able to understand such a thing, so you let it slip. Well, in fact, I was reincarnated from another world, and all of Lent and his friends have Japanese faces, so it’s not impossible that I wouldn’t understand. But how did he take that?

“No way… well, that’s how it is. I understand everything.”

He mutters and grits his back teeth.

“I heard from the Emperor that ‘the way back to the original world is within the kingdom’, but you’re keeping it a secret, Gustav.?”

“What?”

“Yes, it’s all connected! You knew that we Seven Warriors were going to invade the kingdom, and you’re using the ‘way back to the world’ as bait to get us to do what you want us to do.

“…No, no, what’s that nonsense? ”

“Shut up, bastard!”

Lent attacks with an angry face.

He really doesn’t listen to anything, does he, at all?

I hit the floor with the bottom of my spear and use the skill 『Thousand Spear Birth』. Immediately a bunch of spears appear between me and Lent and form a wall.

“The hell is this!”

Lent uses his high-status sword swing to cut it in half, but.

“Right on target!”

“Wha?”

Immediately afterwards, my electrifying blow, cutting through the bundle of spears that had been cut in half, struck Lent’s chest armor. It was the skill ─ ─ 『Thunder Rage』.

The 『Thousand Spear Birth』 I had sent out earlier was merely a decoy to lure Lent into a big swing, and I aimed at the gap created by that and hit him. Lent rolled backwards and fell down… though.

“I guess I win, Nanjo Lent-kun. Can you stand up?”

“…?”

Lent gasped as he touched his chest with his hand to check. As it should be, there were only a few burn marks on his armor from the electric shocks, but no holes. Of course, the external injuries were only bruises.

“Why…?”

“Well, I shot him with the bottom of the spear… with this stone pike. I adjusted the force somewhat.”

“How could you go easy on me…?”

Certainly, Lent’s status was high by this world’s human standards, and he was close to me. In terms of weapon handling skills, there is not much difference between me, who has been in this world for less than half a year, and Lent, who has been here for one month. But there is one thing that is overwhelmingly different.

That is [actual combat experience]. I have passed through many death lines in the past six months. I have learned my own style of fighting with a spear and the tact to apply my skills one by one.

Perhaps Lent has only had experience in bare arms and training in interpersonal combat. No matter how high level he is, there is no way that I, a spearman who has survived death-defying battles, would be able to defeat a swordsman who only knows how to move [as per the textbooks manual].

Now, I hope this will make Lent have the attitude to listen to others a little more. …There was a time when I thought that, too.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!”

Lent’s face turned reddish-black in a flash, and he turned a devilish look at me.

“You’re mocking me? Me, this me who works for justice! You’re enjoying making fun of me, aren’t you?

“What…?”

“It’s no longer enough just to defeat him! The villain who usurped the glory of defeating the Demon King, betrayed Agranis, and taunted justice – the only thing you deserve is death!”

He is a man who can’t get through to the end of the line. To make matters worse, he seems to have the propensity to pervert all our intentions. This is very troublesome…

“Sink, Hibiki-chan… stay away from me, both of you. I’ll use my ‘Unique Skill’!”

At these words, which Lent shot back, the man with glasses shrugged his shoulders out of the men and women who were waiting behind Lent.

“Don’t go too far, Nanjo. This castle could collapse.”

“Yeah, I know. But then, Sink, you’ll have to protect Hibiki-chan.”

The girl in the back, probably called Hibiki, frowned for some reason at the conversation between Lent and the man with the glasses… maybe they didn’t get on. Anyway, both of Lent’s companions moved further back.

“Nanjou Lent-kun, you probably won’t believe me, but I wasn’t trying to mock you…”

“Shut up, I have nothing to say to you villain!”

He no longer wants to hear me out.

I’ll just have to do it…

I don’t know exactly what a ‘unique skill’ is, but I’m sure it’s a powerful skill. In most anime and web novels, the protagonist is usually a warrior with skills with names like ‘unique’ or ‘cheat’.

This could turn out to be a long and bitter battle.

To Lent, who raised his sword to me and grinned. I braced myself once again.

 

 

─ ─ And then, three minutes later.

I had… won. And that too, completely unscathed.

 

“… what??”

Unexpectedly, such a questioning voice leaks out. Eh, I… won?

Lent, who is hunched over a little distance from me, is also looking at me with his eyes wide open. He was sitting there with such a look on his face, not understanding what had happened. There is no weapon in his hand. The sword Lent had been holding was now lying in half in a corner of the throne room.

No, it was indeed me who shot the ‘skill’. It was me… but I never thought it would end up ‘like this’…

I look at that spear in my own hand ── [Charged lightning spear, heavy-duty weapon (prototype)].

“Ah, I have to go and thank the princess and… Ji-san later…”

What on earth happened? It goes back to about three minutes before Lent showed his ‘Unique Skill’ -.
