Chapter 13: (Self Edited) Later at Night
The meeting was canceled and the participants returned to their assigned rooms.
The hallway was noisy for a while. It was probably due to people changing clothes or taking a bath after being bathed by the blood of the murdered guards. I was fine. Rook got a bit dirty because of the Front Choke, but he said he was fine. However, he changed clothes as maid supplied a new one.
After that Rook and I were slowly getting around the table. There was a glass of alcohol in front of Rook. It wasn’t a transparent glass that was sold in Japan. It was a blue glass that gave a feeling of being colored due to the impurities, but the shape was beautiful.
In our house, the glassware used when Rook drinks were something more muddy and with crumbling shape.
“The movements Otou-san did earlier was amazing. Did you learn it in the school of Knight?” (Yuri)
When I asked that…
“Yes, that’s right.” (Rook)
…I received that reply.
It seemed that it was the combat skills learned in the school of Knight. I had an image of nobles boys training in name only with a wooden sword when it was about the school of Knight. However, by looking at Rook’s movements, it seemed that the school was teaching an actual combat technique.
