Book 2: Chapter 54
When the Border Earl said so in a loud voice, the armed soldiers carried up their fallen companions – awakened those who fainted – and turned back.
「Reiji!」
The young lady who had been watching from afar, ran and hugged me.
「Reiji, are you okay? I know you said you can win, but I was still worried.」
「Like I told you, I won’t lose if I get serious. Though, I have destroyed the pavement, so that will need to be fixed.」
Feeling the young lady trembling, I gently stroked her back – but I still kept my guard up against the Border Earl.
「Kukuku. Stop looking at me with those eyes. It makes me want to fight you!」
「If you stand in my path, I’ll eliminate you even if you don’t wish to fight.」
「I just can’t get enough of you! Watching you fight the mediator was amazing, but now, I can’t even gauge your limit!」
