59 – 7. Monbungi, the Empress, and Her Sister (8)

So, I slightly avoided Raysonia’s gaze.

Because my older brother is not the kind of person who gets involved in who my younger sister chooses as her friend.

Moreover… Kyra isn’t that bad of a friend.

Then, this time, Raysonia was seen looking at Cardia.

Am I next, Cardia?

…I knew it.

The fact that Raysonia is ‘dependent’ on us in a significant way.

It will be something that cannot be helped.

Raysonia was with us for most of her childhood, and we were her everything.

So that was it.

But, as expected, this was a bit like that.

“Cardia.”

“…..I know.”

Cardia must have known that Raysonia’s condition was not very good. Looking at Raysonia, I let out a small sigh.

“But, yes. “I will step forward as a ‘friend’ this time.”

Cardia?

Before I could call Cardia out, Cardia walked up to Kyra.

“…You’re the teacher’s younger sister. “Do you have something to say to me?”

Kyra’s eyes were calm as she glanced at Cardia.

…This is it.

It was said that Cardia was not good enough in Kyra’s eyes.

That was it.

Cardia also inherited the blood of the knight family, Bahart. The ‘talent’ passed down through blood was also passed down to Cardia.

Cardia was also a ‘knight’.

But her talent as a knight was half that of mine.

In terms of output of ‘fighting’, the most important element of a knight, his stamina is significantly lower than that of an average knight.

In fact… it was okay to say that it felt a little short of R grade.

Of course, that’s true if you only look at his talent as a ‘knight’.

On the other side, Cardia was my capable younger sister.

It’s just that the knight’s power was like that.

however.

Cardia nodded and stood in front of Kyra.

“you. “I said I wanted to be Ray’s friend.”

“…Yes, that’s right. But what does that have to do with you, the teacher’s younger sister?”

“It matters. “I am Ray’s first friend.”

After saying that, Cardia took off her gloves.

And then, he threw it at Kyra.

From noble mtl dot com

“……”

Kai was also reading the books I had been reading to instill common sense about the ‘human world’.

The human world’s customs, culture, common sense, and many other things were gradually instilled in me over the course of three days.

And, even if it wasn’t just that, he would have fully understood that the ‘gloves’ being thrown at him right now were not particularly friendly.

“…Right.”

Grinning, Kyra laughed.

“Good, challenges are always welcome. But… if I win, you too will have to become my friend. “There’s a saying here… that if you want to be a general, you should shoot a horse, right?”

“…If you can, why not try it?”

Cardia said this while crossing her arms.

Seeing Cardia like that… Kaira picked up the gloves that had fallen on the ground.

“good night. I’ll do as you say. “I can do it, so I will do it.”

…The duel between Cardia and Kyra suddenly occurred.

It just so happened that I was in charge of being the referee.

It’s true that I’m the best referee because I can stop it right away if something happens, and since it was my sister’s problem, I couldn’t leave her out.

“…Cardia.”

“…What is it?”

“No, no.”

…It would be rude to Cardia to tell her how to attack Kyra.

In the first place, the people who taught Kyra’s strategy… it was unclear whether Cardia’s sword would be able to pierce Kyra.

Born SR level.

Although it is slightly inferior compared to the highest-tier monsters, Kyra is also a high-tier, ‘tank’ character.

They said that I was at an initial level because I didn’t really train and educate myself by reading ignorant books, and even if I had to say that my physical strength was at least B rank.

To what extent is this…

It was said that even a decent knife could not cut even Kyra’s skin.

It might be at least the fighting spirit of a mid-level ‘knight’, but Kyra’s current body… was nowhere close to the fighting spirit that Cardia could unleash at its maximum output.

Moreover, even after drilling, there was a problem.

Of course, Monaka’s status is an important factor, but status is status and ‘race individual value’ is also important.

Bonus characteristics such as ‘Dragon Heart’ that exists in dragons and ‘Halo’ that Serena possesses were elements included in the individual values of such races.

And, Kyra Blade’s racial individual value… What can be called a racial trait…

‘It’s super regeneration.’

It’s hard, but even if you pierce it, it regenerates in an instant.

‘Gulgang’, which is in the top tier in the SR class but is at the top level only for tanks, was a character that boasted that level of toughness.

of course.

‘Gulgang’ is still far away.

Even though it was far, it was still a long way away.

The current Kyra was nothing more than a werewolf with only a little sparkle of talent.

Even though it was a bit shiny, I was told it was still a mite.

…I did a simulation in my head to see if I could beat Kyra if I lowered my output to Cardia level.

huh.

I could win.

It would take a lot of strength, but there was a good chance of winning.

There were many reasons…

the biggest reason is…

I glanced at the dagger tied to Kyra’s thigh.

‘Wolf Fang Dagger’

It was a ‘dagger’ given as Kyra’s initial equipment item.

It’s not just a dagger, it’s a dagger In other words, it was a dual-wielding dagger.

He was also the culprit behind the fact that countless idiots looked at Kyra’s illustrations and initial equipment and fell into the trap of thinking, “Oh, I can raise her to be an agile character,” and end up using a dual-wielding build.

Anyway, that’s it.

If you are Kyra, who is wearing equipment that is ‘very unsuitable’ for you, you have no choice but to show your weaknesses.

If we took advantage of that gap and worked on metallurgy, even with Cardia’s level of output… there was a possibility of winning by decision.

Of course, it’s a decision win.

Well, there’s nothing you can do about Kyra with Cardia’s output.

Since Cardia is better than me purely in terms of technique, she might be able to win more easily than me.

“…Everyone, please understand that this is a sparring, not a duel.”

However, that was only when I told Cardia about Kyra’s strategy.

Kyra was a warrior, and Cardia was also a knight.

…Of course, it’s okay to take someone’s side and reveal their weaknesses when it comes to things like this.

I don’t know if it’s a real monster.

so…

“Take ten steps back.”

“i get it.”

“I know.”

When the two people nodded at my words and pretended to walk away, they widened the distance between them.

I said.

“Then… let’s get started.”

The two hit the ground at the same time and started moving.

Cardia Bachart.

Since she was a child, she has always wanted to.

If only I were a little stronger.

I was hoping that if that were the case, the number of my brother getting hurt would have been reduced at least a little.

always.

always.

always.

It was because my brother always came back covered in scars.

So, that’s why Cardia held the ‘sword’.

The sword that could be held by the arms of a young, fragile woman… a thin, pointed rapier.

Although it was just a weapon made for nobles to ‘duel’ each other with ‘minimum’ damage.

Nevertheless, Cardia honed the sword she held over the years.

So when I turned 14.

I was delighted to finally awaken to my fighting spirit.

I did it because I thought I finally had the ‘qualification’ to be able to help my brother.

but.

‘Cardia.’

You are still young and weak.

My brother, who went to battle at a younger age than himself at the age of 14 and came back with countless wounds, said that to me, who was older than him at the time.

‘But, but, brother.’

I couldn’t admit it.

He said he could fight too.

By her brother’s side, she fought back, claiming that she had the power to protect him.

right.

It was a swarm.

At that time, I said that out of desperate resolve.

Now that I think about it, it was just a complaint.

-That’s true too.

‘…Then, Cardia. Let’s compete with my brother.’

If the sword touches you even once. He said he would let me go with him then.

It was my brother who said that.

Brother…

However, without even a moment of courage, he ended up lying on the ground.

Again and again.

Again and again.

Over and over again.

In the end, it broke my will.

And, to me who was crying and breaking down.

Brother opened his mouth.

‘Cardia. Cardia, Bachart. ‘My dear sister.’

He wasn’t the older brother who always came back covered in scars and comforted me when I cried.

He wasn’t the kind of older brother who always accepted my complaints and played along with my childish behavior.

It wasn’t his brother who always… always… always ‘protected’ and ‘protected’ him when he was weak.

The ‘knight’ who survived countless wars by cutting down countless enemies spoke.

‘You are too weak to be with me.’

‘…So, you’ll probably get hurt or die soon. It is certain that it will be so.’

‘Cardia, Cardia, Cardia… my dear sister.’

‘…If you die, what do I have to fight to protect?’

‘What does a knight who has lost what he had to protect have to fight for?’

‘So Cardia.’

Chin.

Onii-sama said, brushing away my crying hair.

‘You are here to help me.’

You, protect this territory.

Let’s protect what I want to protect together.

At that time, I answered that I knew.

Onii-sama smiled bitterly and headed toward the battlefield again.

…I had to watch that back again and again and again.

One day, after holding my brother’s hand and a girl came…

All the time, she had no choice but to watch her brother leave with her.

‘Because I’m weak.’

uuung…!

I feel those words keenly.

From noble mtl dot com

The woman in front of me, Kyra, was a monster.

A monster that has the appearance of a human, but is completely different from a human.

Whoa!

Despite dodging the swinging dagger, wounds appear.

As the blade tears, the skin is torn off.

It was a ‘sword wind’ that only knights who had trained for countless years could do.

But, by all accounts, a woman of similar age to her was doing such a thing.

There was no use of speculation.

He does this purely with his body and technique.

“Ugh…!”

On the other hand, I was only able to catch up and see the opponent’s movements by desperately strengthening my ‘fighting spirit’ with my body.

The difference in overwhelming ‘power’.

It was only now that I felt it desperately.

He himself would not have survived.

and.

‘Onii-sama.’

Such monsters survived in a battlefield filled with countless monsters.

Having been hurt countless times and overcoming death countless times.

By driving that thing into my heart, I fought and survived.

Just because of that, he became a hero.

‘Onii-sama… still…’

With cold eyes, I saw my brother watching the sparring between me and Kyra.

Black lion.

The hero of mankind, so called, was alive, and his brother, who survived and became a hero, was watching the situation calmly.

But, I know.

If it continues like this…

Brother announces that he has lost and will stop sparring any further.

We’ve been on the defensive for several minutes already.

There was no way my brother could not notice his ‘fighting spirit’ that was rapidly depleting even though he was just dodging, deflecting, and blocking.

and.

then…

Also, her brother will only see her as a ‘little sister’ who needs to be protected.

I am…

‘no, I do not want.’

Holding her brother’s hand, once again… the emotions I felt when I saw Raysonia fighting by her brother’s side.

It was jealousy.

‘Why me’

Despite being ‘blood relatives’ like my brother, despite the dream that I ‘had no choice but to give up’.

Am I not even allowed to be ‘by my brother’s side’?

‘I… I don’t like that.’

younger sister.

If I had to just be your little sister for the rest of my life.

If so, I wanted to at least always be ‘by his side’.

I wanted to be by your side.

As the ‘best’ that ‘blood relatives’ can do.

‘therefore.’

Huh, he said.

As if to put an end to it, Kaira was seen swinging two daggers.

At that moment, Cardia also took a step.

“mum…”

Exhausted speculation.

Due to a lack of fighting spirit, the rapier, which had lost its teeth despite being struck by a dwarf known as a master craftsman, had no way of blocking that dagger.

Therefore, I could see my brother trying to tell me to stop fighting.

But before that.

We decided to compete.

“release.”

As I recited the spell, a throbbing pain surged through me.

However, it was clear that it was only an incredibly mild pain compared to the pain my brother felt.

That’s because this wasn’t a ‘magic armor’.

“piercing.”

Push shot…!

The sharp jet coming out from the tip of the rapier landed under Kyra’s chin.

Just before reaching me, Kyra’s two daggers stopped.

“…I won. Yes?”

“……indeed. That’s your brother’s younger sister. “It’s a complete defeat for me, as I didn’t know that your sister was also a warrior.”

“…after.”

The cost of amplifying speculation that was on the verge of exhaustion was enormous.

…The pain of discovering that you were a woman for the first time.

Because the pain was hundreds of times worse than the first menstrual pain.

“…Well, I won, brother.”

…Now, she will no longer be the younger sister who ‘must be protected’.

I decided to be satisfied with that for now.

Thinking like that, I closed my eyes as I looked at my brother’s stupid face as he rushed towards me.
