137 – Protagonist
Sword Master Calden.
In the community, he is famous as a furry pup who wants to be a disciple, and he is the best sword master in the kingdom. Of course, his combat power is the best among swordsman characters.
“Master!”
Kalden stepped back in shock at the sight of Lire screaming. As expected of a disciple, he is an infinitely weak knife to his disciple. He looked back and forth between me and Lire with a puzzled expression.
“Lir! How did this happen!? Master Lee is happy to have returned ahead of schedule, but what about that bastard…. No way! Didn’t you have an accident and run away for love!?”
Flames blazed in Kalden’s eyes. I quietly prepared for his next attack. Fortunately, Calden’s hand did not move again.
“No! Rather, Master, don’t you even read the newspaper!? Don’t you know what happened in the capital!?”
“Newspaper? Oh, I used to pile them up in the living room, but these days, I’m not really having fun…. What the hell happened to make such a fuss!?”
“Haa… ! First, go in. I will explain slowly.”
“Then, excuse me.”
“This guy! I have no intention of hiring a bastard like you! f*ck off!”
“Master! Oh no!”
“Kuhhh… ! To think that iron-blooded Lire could express emotions so abundantly… ! What did you learn at the academy!?”
“First, go in, go in!”
With such a lively atmosphere, we entered the house. Kalden’s gaze, as if he were looking at me as a robber, was very uncomfortable, but this is something I have to accept. I’m not going to stay here for long anyway.

It was left to Lire to explain what happened in the capital. Even if I explain it, I don’t think that gentleman will listen quietly. On the other hand, Lire is different. Calden listened to his beloved disciple. It took about 30 minutes to explain all of Angra Mainyu’s behavior and the resulting suspension from the academy.
“Is that true!?”
“I told you to read the newspaper. Even a poor village like this shouldn’t be late for news from the city.”
“I never thought Lire would say such a thing… ! You have become a complete city girl!”
Kalden, who checked the newspaper, became serious as if he guessed the seriousness of the situation. He said with a sigh.
“Haa… ! Angra Mainyu. They did a great job again. When I was in the middle of my career, I was caught up in trouble with them. They are venomous species that should not be associated with each other.”
“However, I have come to a situation where I can’t do that even if I don’t want to have a relationship. Crazy dogs pick out people and don’t bite.”
As I intervened, Kalden glared at me.
“I never asked you! And I didn’t let them into my house! Get out now!”
“Ah, Master! Jum!”
Lir is annoyed with a dissatisfied look at Kalden’s attitude.
However, Kalden did not break that stubborn expression. It seems I don’t like it very much. Well, I sent my precious student to the royal capital to study, and the two of them, who look like a gisaeng brother, returned home alone. What kind of father would like it?
I understood his thoughts, but I didn’t have time to consider him now.
“Sir Calden. I won’t talk too much. For peace on the continent, Lord Calden must move.”
“What, what!? You bastard! How dare you know who I am and say that!?”
“Who doesn’t know the Swordmaster Sir Calden?”
“Your attitude is not the way you know me. Are you a human who is in a position to give orders to the sword master?”
At Kalden’s words, I burst out laughing. His hardened face becomes even more stern at my smile. Does he think he’s laughing at himself?
Usually, I would have thought of the original play and found a way to gain his favorability. For example, he might have made some tasty cat treats for his cat daddy, Calden. But I don’t have time. I said while taking out the dagger of the ghost.
“Yes, I think I am in a position to give orders to Lord Calden. Yes, I’m stronger than Lord Calden-“
Chang!
I blocked Kalden’s hand as he came out. It was an attack so fast that Lire couldn’t react. However, I let go of that attack naturally.
“To prevent that. It’s pretty good for that age. Certainly enough to show off others.”
Kalden stood up. Blue light radiates from his hand. The glow soon turned into a single sword. Calden held the sword of light.
Heart Sword.
Kalden casually used an S-class skill.
“But, you have to show off your guts as well.”
“Su, Master!”
“Stay still, Lir! I can’t give up on this either! I can’t do business with someone who doesn’t respect the authority of a sword master!”
Goo-gu-gu-gu-gu!
The momentum emanating from Kalden blew away his cabin. His mana creates a powerful blade that spins around. My C-class defense item, ‘One Mall Time’, automatically reacted. It is an item that can defend against powerful physical attacks once, but the item that touched Kalden’s momentum turned into powder and disappeared.
‘Even like this, I’m adjusting it so that it doesn’t reach Lire. Indeed, the title of the strongest sword master doesn’t lie.’
I said to Lire.
“Ms. Rir. Please back off.”
“What!? Ha, but… !”
“This is the story of me and Lord Calden. I’m sorry, Miss Lir, but it’s not my business to intervene.”
Lir looked at me and Kalden with an anxious expression. Lire’s affinity for me is probably over 70. With that level of affinity, he would trust me enough.
Lir gave Kalden one shot, then trotted towards me. Then-
“Eight!”
Side!
Her soft lips touched mine.
“!?”
At that moment, Kalden’s eyes shook as if splitting. No kidding, it was like a volcano had exploded inside his eyes. Lire stuck out her tongue at such a teacher, saying ‘Melong!’.
“Master! I really hate it!”
With those words, Lir left the collapsed hut.
This is not a simple blow to Kalden. It was a kind of grenade fired at me who had excluded myself from the conversation with Calden.
“Ino oh oh oh um!”
Like Lire’s cunning intention, Kalden aimed his mind sword in anger with the momentum to kill me.
“Kill! Kill for sure!”
……
Miss Lir, this is unexpected for me.

“Haa… ! What have I done!?”
Leaving her cabin, Lire ran, controlling her beating heart. Her sudden actions she had committed were purely the result of giving herself over to her impulses. At the same time as making fun of the wayward Master, she was also doing it to embarrass John, who was also wayward, and at the same time, to fill a part of her heart.
“Seriously, what did you do!”
I ran for a long time, banging her on the head. When her breath rose to the point where her breathing was disturbed, Lire stopped her. I’m not sure if the pounding heart is due to sprinting or if it’s because of my feelings for Yohan.
John Baker.
The mysterious man changed his world. For her who left her master’s side and came to her academy, John was a new world. He broke all the common sense he knew, even his own swordsmanship, which he thought was invincible. The defeat he suffered became the nourishment for his growth.
The many emotions he felt for Yohan were unfamiliar to him for the first time in his life. So at first I was very confused, but now I can explain exactly what the feeling is.
‘I like John.’
There were many other women besides himself around John. Sarah Leoris, Arsha Swordhorn, Sierra Grimkeeper and Lire Berger.
John meant that he was not the only one who noticed the mysterious charm of humans. Just as she fell for Johann, Lire also fell for Johann’s charm.
‘Didn’t Miss Arsha and Sierra kiss Yohan?’
So, are you the third?
It’s a bit embarrassing to be beaten by as many as two rivals as the heir to parrying swordsmanship, but I still felt fortunate to go in the middle. Lire grabbed her frantic mind and turned her body around.
“Wait! This is not the time to be so shy! Yohan-kun, what if the real master dies?”
A teacher who cares about himself. There is a high probability of making a ‘mistake’ by losing self-control due to his own sudden behavior. If that happens, no matter how much Yohan-kun he is….
Lire moved her feet much faster than she had been running earlier. Her heart felt like it was on fire, but she bit her lip and returned to her cabin. It was no longer a cabin.
“Eh!?”
There was not even a trace of the hut that had collapsed due to her master’s momentum. It was difficult to guess what kind of fight was going on here. Lire swallowed his saliva and moved his steps across the devastated land.
“John! Master!”
Two men are standing in the center of the devastated land looking at each other. One is Johann, and the other is his teacher, Kalden.
The body of one of the people facing each other is staggering. It was John. John fell on one knee to the ground. Lire felt his blood run cold.
“John!”
Lir ran to John in one month. John’s clothes were worn out to the point where it wouldn’t be strange to say that they were rags. There were two lines of cuts on his handsome face.
“John! Are you okay!?”
At Lire’s words, Yohan nodded his head with difficulty and opened his mouth.
“I’m fine, take care of Sir Calden.”
“What!?”
Lir turned his gaze to Master at his words.
At that moment, Lire felt a greater shock than all the shocks he had experienced so far.
Sword Master Calden, who was his own master.
I witnessed his body collapse like straw. The body of the collapsing Kalden was full of wounds like snakes crawling.
“Su, Master!?”
It was clear who won the duel between lover and master. The sword in Calden’s hand disappeared. John grabbed the dagger of the ghost and put it in his bosom.
“It was the hardest fight I’ve ever had. Indeed, it is like a sword master.”
“Yo, John! Yohan-kun, what the hell is this!? How can Master… !? Even though…. This makes no sense!”
When you touch a human named John, all common sense bursts like a bubble. Looking at Lire, who was looking at him with shaky eyes, Yohan answered with a wry smile.
“Because I am the main character.”
