S Rank Boukensha de aru Ore no Musume-tachi wa Juudo no Father Con deshita-Chapter 20 - Girl of the knight order

At the training ground where the members of the knight order practiced hard.

As an instructor, I was teaching swords to all the Knights.

"Then, the next step is to swing the sword a thousand times. You won't improve just by swinging blindly. You need to imagine the opponent's movement."

""A, thousand times?""

"Kaizer-san. Are you sure you not making a mistake one digit?"

"Oh, right."

"Hoo~..."

"When I and Elsa were in the village, we used to swing 10,000 times a day, but, you guys won't be done until the day changes, will you?

""You misinterpret the word mistake on one digit, are you?""

The standard of my and Elsa's training was probably too high, and most of them couldn't follow even the light menu.

"Come on, you'd better hurry up or it's going to get dark."

I clapped my hands and urged them.

The knights began to swing their swords while screaming.

As the warming up, they were running ten times around the training ground with their armor on, few of them could swing their swords properly.

"Is Knight Commander Elsa doing this training from an early age..."

"I thought she was a genuine genius swordsman.....that's why she's so strong.. we didn't even reach half effort she did."

"Either Kaizer-dono or Knight Commander Elsa is outrageous..."

I saw the helpless knights and mumbled.

"Umm. Looks like our normal isn't everyone's normal.''

"I was surprised when I came to the royal capital, because the training of the Knights, which was known to be tough, was felt only in lukewarm water. The training I had done with chichiue was, to most people, out of the norm."

Elsa murmured next to me.

"I didn't mean to be particularly strict...."

"I think so, too"

The knights couldn't endure the training and exhausted. Then one by one, they fell like a broken doll.

But, one person among them――.

There was a person who kept on swinging the sword.

"Ei~! Yaa~!"

In the men's troupe, there was a small girl.

Her hair was arranged in a ponytail, and she had a cute face like a small animal.

Her name surely――Natalie, wasn't she?

She was from the countryside and she was keen on training, except for Elsa, she was the only one who completed a thousand times swings.

"Hee. That girl is, not bad."

"Yes. Natalie is one of the most promising members of the order. She often asks me to sword training."

Elsa had a smiling look.

Natalie was 16 years, younger than Elsa. Perhaps, Elsa liked her younger subordinate, Natalie.

"Okay. Well then, let's move on to the next training, a mock battle. Please make a group of two. Of course, you can also pair up with me, you know."

The Knights turned away,

"We must definitely avoid pairing up with Kaizer-dono...!"

"It's Kaizer-dono who is stronger than the Knights Commander Elsa. We may be killed even in a mock battle with a wooden sword ...!"

"Kaizer-san! Please pair up with me!"

While the majority of them were freaking out of me, Natalie was different.

With a lively voice, she applied for a match.

"Of course. I look forward to pair up with you."

"Thank you very much!"

Natalie bowed deeply.

Her ponytail swayed. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

Motivation and energy were gushing out of her entire body.

"Kaizer-san. Prepare yourself!"

Natalie struck using the wooden sword with great vigor.

She had a good sword technique.

No wonder Elsa said that she was promising.

But――.

It was still too early to beat me and Elsa!

"Hiyaaaaaaaa!"

When I blocked all of Natalie's attack, I easily countered.

After being struck at her torso, Natalie flopped to the ground.

"Ugugu.... Kaizer-san. Too strong!"

"You were good as well."

"I really wanted to land a blow on Kaizer-san. That's why I've been spending the last few years to...!"

"Nn? What do you mean?"

I asked Natalie.

"I and you should never have met yet..."

"I heard the story from Elsa-san. 'My swordsmanship instructor was chichiue and I hadn't landed even one blow yet'."

"So that's it. You mean, you wanted to hit a blow on me, which Elsa who you respected had never hit one blow to."

I nodded as if convinced.

"Natalie has ambition, huh."

"No, that's not it."

"――eh?"

"Elsa-san couldn't hit even one blow on Kaizer-san. If I can hit one blow, I wonder if Elsa-san will meromero for me."

――Meromero? (FYI: fall in love, madly in love)

"And if I have beaten Kaiser, I was going to ask for your daughter. But, how unfortunate."

"Wa! Wait a minute!"

I asked Natalie.

"Eh? Does it mean that you adore Elsa... not as a swordsman... but in fondness way?"

"That is right?"

Natalie had a look on her face that said what's the matter.

“I want to hold hands, kiss, flirt with Elsa-san... I want to marry her in the future!”

It was a shocking statement all of a sudden.

If I was in the middle of a fight now, I would have made a big opening. If I wasn't careful, I might have been hit by a blow.

"E, hee. Is that true?"

I asked Natalie, hiding my upset.

"...By the way, what makes you attracted to Elsa?"

"Everything! Elsa-san is strong, beautiful, and friendly to everyone.....She's an impeccable goddess! My admired one! That's why――I want her noble heart and body to be mine alone!"

Natalie snorted and said an impassioned statement.

Her eyes were serious.

I didn't expect――someone who loves my daughter is a girl.

"That's why――I can't forgive Kaiser-san! Who is trying to rob Elsa-san from me!"

Natalie gave me a hostile look.

......Eee~?
