331 307. Strong will.

I asked Zeru (Laekan) how to use the turnaround--?

That means Zero Ring-san has become a spirit...!?

"Second, you know Zero, right?" She said she met you in the spirit world. "

Ah, ahh

I see, is that what you explain to Masamune?

Indeed, Zero Ring-san lived in this world more than 300 years ago. Is it strange to know me unless it's through the spirit world?

Even so, Zeru-san... you know how to choose a masamune among the samurai!

"Did you get a ticket?"

"Yeah, right after I broke up with you." At first, I didn't really understand it, but once I learned the water attribute and type, I realized that I could learn the skill of spirit summoning. "

I see.

When I was told, I forgot. Spirit Summoning The release condition for mastering is that you have acquired at least one Magic skill. Originally, it was a [sorcery] that was used to increase Masamune's ranged hand, but it didn't have such side effects.

So, what's that?

For a while, Masamune was training with Mr. Zero Ring one-on-one...?

"Second, I think I can help you too." What should I do? "

Masamune puts her hands on her chest like a stage actor and asks.

The last time I saw her, she looked so confident.

[Spirit Possession] cannot be mastered without raising [Spirit Summoning] to four levels. Besides, I don't know how many spirit strengths Mr. Zero Ring has, but I have learned up to [Autumn Water Turn]. It was quite an amount of experience. You must be well-trained in other skills and battle techniques.

Apparently, Masamune has done more hellish special training than I could ever imagine. You must have taught me a lot from Mr. Zero Ring.

Not at all, if that makes you feel better.

"All right, Masamune. Let's show you home for now."

Yeah, nice to meet you.

I'll serve you a cup of tea.

Masamune nodded happily and sat down.

Shelly and Vogue are just a short distance from home, as they tried to turn around.

Currently, we are based in a hot spring inn-style mansion in the northeast of the site. Simply because it has a large capacity, it is a ryokan-style ryokan that can be managed normally if you are concerned about it, so we chose this place as a base.

"It's somewhat in the middle of an amazing view, isn't it, Second Kun's house?" Is this really the capital of the kingdom? "

Masamune heard about it, by the way.

“It's a suburb. There are forests, rivers, and lakes, and it feels good."

"Hmm, that's right." I've only been here once at night, so I didn't really know how to get there, but it was such a nice view. ”

I think you're making a mistake.

"This is my home."

"... eh?"

"By the way, you've been here twice, not once." The venue of the Eight Crowns Memorial Party, which is also my house on the premises. "

"Ehhhh!?"

You surprised me. I am glad to receive this kind of Nice Reaction because I think it would be good to buy it.

"Ah, it's such a big venue, I just thought I borrowed it"

"There's also a castle." It's under construction. "

"Castle!? Are you going to be king?"

Well, it's a corner, so I thought I'd build it.

"I'm sorry, I suddenly don't understand the meaning of the corners."

"I bought all the land around here, so it's a corner."

"Eh... this whole place?"

Looking around, Masamune said something.

Yeah.

When I nodded, Masamune had an indescribable face called "Wow."

"... isn't it bigger than the island?"

"No, it's a stone's throw..."

That's not true, is it?

"Amazing, Second Kun." I was dumbfounded. "

Isn't it nice to feel like the # 1 house in the world?

”Um, yeah... I guess it's fine, yeah”

Masamune was still in shock.

"Ah, you can see the inn... can't be that?"

"My house."

"No, it's really amazing."

Masamune admires the feeling of circling around with an undeniable face. I walked indoors while observing my surroundings.

"... oh, no one is there, right?"

Yeah, we're all in training right now.

"I-I see..."

Masamune quickly strokes her back hair.

Then, after a moment of silence, I turned around and opened my mouth.

"Um, second-kun, I-"

"Master!? Why are you here at this hour?"

…………

To make matters worse, one of Masamune's passing servants spoke to me at the same time as he was about to say something. Thanks to this, Masamune's cheeks are swollen.

Oh, I'm sure of it.

"It's the marina, Squadron."

"You remember me! I'm thrilled."

It is a champagne-like lady-like maid, but I remember it because it is distinctive in that it belongs to the Squad.

Marina laughs like a blossom, bows, and keeps her eyes on the neighboring masamune.

"Huh? I'm sure that's you..."

"Masamune, contestant of the Battle of Shamon."

"Excuse me!"

It's unusual, you just noticed. It's not like a good servant.

When I felt a little uncomfortable, Marina opened her mouth in awe with a face that said, "It's gone."

"I'm sorry that I've become more feminine in a good way than I've seen you before, but what am I talking about?"

The temples were tearful and I lowered my head. Oh, yes, Marina was nervous.

"Oh, it fell on me. Your hair has grown, Masamune."

I was surprised by the sudden turnaround and forgot, but my hair is longer than when I saw you before.

No, when I checked it carefully, I was wearing thin makeup. Is this good smell even wearing perfume? Marina's point is pretty sharp.

Ahahah, actually, there's no time to hang up

Masamune laughed as she stroked her hair to make it shine.

That's all you've been training for, isn't it?

"Yeah, Zero Ring is tough when it comes to training." Other than that, it's basically gentle. "

That's right. Yes, I missed it.

"Okan-san, take care of me, okay?"

"Okan-san...? Ah, is that a nickname for Zero Ring?"

Oops.

"Yes, she looks like her mother."

"Fufu! That's true."

This is not a lie.

The name Okan-san is actually Double Meaning, because 0k4NN can be read as Okan-san, and the other reason is that he was just as good at taking care of people as he is “my Okan-san” anyway.

Speaking of which, why did you abandon Masamune?

"It's strange that Zero Ring should be associated with a spirit." As for me, I want to avoid abandoning the spirit that is passed on to the Hachinohe country, the founder of Hiruko-ryu. "

Is it certainly strange to follow one's own spirit?

Angormore... no way, it's so terrible that I'm going to bump my whole body.

"It's a call-back."

"Fufu, you must be right. Second you..."

Nevertheless, Masamune is still a beauty with a troubled smile.

When I look at this face, I want to embarrass asexuality somehow.

Don't feel the charm of Sylvia's angry face.

"Master, Masamune, I'm sorry to bother you." I'm going back to cleaning. ”

Ah, well done, Marina. Good luck.

"Yes! I'll do my best!"

When Masamune and Marina were having an upbeat conversation, Marina left them with a deep bow and returned to the servant's job with a 120% motivation.

Well, we just moved into the house, and we ended up talking.

"... do you want to sit on the sofa?"

"Oh, yeah. Excuse me."

Sitting on the sofa in the lounge, Masamune stretched her spine and sat right across from me.

…………

…………

And a strange silence flows.

Would you like to take an open-air bath?

"Right now!? No, I'm not going in..."

Ah, do you want to come in with me?

"No, I'm not going in yet!"

I tried to soothe the air with naughty sexual harassment, but I failed brilliantly. Damn, it could have been sexual harassment. Masamune's face turned red and she stopped talking.

"... ahhhh! You're starting to feel weird, aren't you?"

I thought... but it seems that I was silent for another reason.

Speaking of which, you were just about to say something.

"And sharp in weird places!" What the hell, you... "

"What is it, Chimi?" That's right, I..... "

"...... ah......"

…………

I'll do it.

Ah... what is it?

Dear Sir, what Masamune is trying to say has been discerned.

Understand. It's not very bright.

"... number one in the world." Masamune, I want to be number one in the world. "

"... yes..."

"It's not even rough." It's the one who's trying to prioritize you over the woman he's in love with. "

Yeah, I know.

"I'm having a lot of cheating, and the world's number one priority, and I think I'm pretty crazy."

"Yeah, I know."

Masamune answers all the hurdles I put up so vigorously.

It seemed like he was ready. His eyes shot straight through me.

And as Masamune slowly took a deep breath - even as we held her for a long time, she said the words we had been avoiding.

“I like it. I love you the most in the world."

It was more than a straight sphere.

Just like you can't hold it back anymore, you don't have to hold it back anymore.

Like a bird that has learned to fly, flying into the sky.

They flew straight across the ocean to me.

"I..."

"Don't answer me, Second." I don't think I should get a reply from you right now. "

Masamune interrupted me when I tried to return my word.

But I just want you to know that.

Then, smiling with a compassionate expression, she continued to do so.

"I'm on your side no matter what." In the name of Masamune, the master of the Benjamin family, I promise to do my best to you for life. "

That's too strong a will.

I'm betting my life on my free love for me.

"When did Masamune become such a big thing to me..."

"So... when you're about to get frustrated, rely on me." I will definitely help you. I will not fail in my efforts to do so. This is a sign of my readiness. "

Perhaps this is what she wanted to tell you first.

It's not just a love affair. I can see how the impact I've had on her life has made her do that.

Masamune is a genius of effort.

I can still understand the meaning of the words used in the Battle of Tsushamon.

I am the driving force behind her efforts to push her boundaries.

Unlike any other, my presence is driving her.

"Masamune"

The reply has been decided for a long time.

But if she decides to do so, I want to respect her will.

That's why I can't say anything, just...

"I like it."

"Hey, why would I say that!?!?"

Sometimes I can't help it.

"I'm sorry, I'm joking."

Ugh!

You must have realized that it was definitely not a joke.

Even though I pretended to be angry, I didn't hide a happy smile from my heart. When I get home, I feel the atmosphere of fumbling my legs on my pillow.

"Well, training is training." Take out Mr. Zero Ring. It's only been two weeks since Stampede. "

”Hah, oh my God... as usual, the servants are rough, Second Kun.”

Masamune's troubled laugh seemed to have no choice.

When I think that she is giving her love for free, my heart is burning.

I felt that I had some idea of why Mr. Zero had chosen her.
