"Oh, are you back, Arth?"
When I returned to the mansion after admiring Alice, I ran into my father at just the right time.
"I just got back. Has my father just finished working at the castle today?"
"Yeah, but I have no ability other than swinging a sword, so I leave miscellaneous chores to my subordinates."
"is that so..."
It seems that they are similar parents and children. Maybe the former Arth inherited the brain muscles from my or his father.
"Oh by the way, Arth. I heard that you've been growing rapidly lately, is that true?"
"Am I growing?"
"Umu, I heard from my subordinates that you managed to defeat an elite knight by yourself."
"Um, has my father ever met someone higher than you?"
When I heard that, my father worried for a while and then nodded.
"Just in case. There are only two people in this world that I have not been able to win. My father, your grandfather Mobius Lost, and my lifelong enemy, that guy."
"That guy?"
"You will find out eventually, but I can't tell you now. All I can say is that I can't beat him."
What is that... it might be dangerous that this monster can't win. Even so, I wonder why such a shonen manga-like flag suddenly appeared, but at least the otome games I know don't have such knowledge, so it's a completely different matter. Well, maybe I need more power to protect Alice. in that case...
"Father, can I ask for a little help from now on?"
"Hmm? I don't mind... what happened all of a sudden?"
"No, in order to escort my cute fiancée, I want to surpass my father once."
When I said that, my father nodded after laughing amusingly.
"Okay, I'll be your opponent."
When I moved to the training ground at home and prepared, my father threw a drawn sword at me.
"It's been a long time. How about this?"
"It doesn't matter. There is no difference between a wooden sword and a real sword."
"Fu, don't miss it."
"Also, since it's been a long time, why don't we use physical enhancement magic?"
"I don't mind... as expected, it's impossible here. If I use physical enhancement, the training ground could collapse. And it would be even worse if it's you and me."
"It can't be helped. Let's save that for another time."
After picking up the sword, swing it lightly. It's a reasonably good looking sword. This should be fine. I'm going to fight with a higher rank than myself. If possible, I wanted to know my ability with physical strengthening magic, but I just need to know how far I am in this world.
"Well then, I won't be present... let's get started."
After saying that, my father's eyes changed as soon as he held up his sword. In contrast to his bright father persona, the spirit of the Knight Commander is conveyed. Is there such a thing as a parent who is serious about their children...well, that's what I'm after to do from the beginning, so that's fine. I also hold my sword. We glared at each other—the time has come. In a moment of silence, it was my father who came first.
"shuck!"
sharp blow. I managed to get rid of the fastest thing I've seen so far and set it from myself. Seeing that, my father loosened his mouth and swept his feet. Is there such a thing as a foot trip for a knight commander!? Thinking about that, I manage to make a turn in the air and prepare my posture, but my father's attack comes earlier than that. Will I make it in time? With that feeling, I also attacked while still in a crumbling position. Each other's it appears as a single wound after grazing each other's cheeks. Ignoring it, I step back once and take a stance again. Father looked at the scar on his cheek and said with a smile.
"Let's do it, Arth. It's been a long time since someone scratched my body."
"I didn't think that Father would seriously come to attack a child."
Every attack was sure to stop me. I guess he's serious. That said, it's probably because I'm saving a little that I feel a surplus. If you combine this with physical strengthening, it will certainly become a bullshit power. When I wiped the dripping blood, my father said with a belligerent smile.
"If it's my son, it's natural to avoid it to this extent."
"I appreciate your high evaluation, but please don't show attack my face. I'll be worried when I meet Alice."
"Then, try to avoid it."
After holding the sword, my father said.
"Come here, Arth. I'll test how far you can stand against me."
"Then let's borrow a breast. If you can lend it anyway, Alice's breast would be nice."
"Even I would like to borrow it from your mother."
While making such a joke, my father and I swung our swords. Bringing in a situation where you can kill many times even though you are about to die many times. No matter how fast I move, the other side will counter and attack faster than that, so I didn't have time to rest, but I could see my father's expression quite happily. After several hours of fighting, we didn't listen even when the servants are trying to stop us, and finally stopped after mother threw a stone in the face of my father... I think what surprised me the most was how good my mother was at controlling. The wife of the active knight commander is powerful, isn't she?
