The Strongest Fairy

Chapter 19 Knight Leader VS Fairy

「You! Youuuu!!」

◇――――――――――――――――

Melchora's PoV:

「Awesome... He's just seriously at her mercy, that Darius」

Melchora was shocked. Darius is someone who is known throughout the town as the strongest. Not listening to the orders of the Earl, even controlling the knights order for himself, he did display enough fighting power for that. That's why she also realized that her reliable father was looking for help, but she also knew that Darius would not carelessly oppose the Earl because they are not enemies.

And then, one day an adventure covered in a white robe came. The person doesn't even show her face, I thought that she was just probably trying to trick father so I became quite suspicious of her. Since I thought that it was impossible for her to become a substitute for my father, I asked her to fight with him, but father was the one lost, defeated by the knights created by that woman to fight father in her place. I was looking at my father who got defeated, and I had to admit that she had overwhelming power.

But when it came to fighting against Darius, she didn't use that power.

And their battle began. Although it was Darius who seemed to make the first move, trying to crush her, it was blocked splendidly. She then avoided all of the attacks that followed with ease.

But still, what Melchora was attracted to was her atmosphere when fighting. It felt like she was really having fun.

「Why is she smiling?」

「Well, that's something I don't understand. But she did not have the feel of a battle maniac though.」

「Isn't it like she is playing with Darius?」

That's right! Is how Melchora thought. That person has the face of a child that has just received a new toy. Even though I can only see her mouth, her eyes must definitely be sparkling.

「Father, who really is that person?」

「I don't know... but well... I can at least be sure that she is fighting for you, even if she is faced with such an opponent.」

◇――――――――――――――――

Aidle PoV:

「Haaa... Haaa... Haaah...」

Darius was drenched in sweat and was out of breath. Is he reaching his limit soon? I was expecting him to have more stamina though. Maybe because there isn't anyone that could go against him, he was negligent of his training. Then I guess this is it.

「Can we end this soon?」

「Haaah... If, you can do then go ahead. If you just keep on blabbering then I will crush you.」

His anger levels shoot up and attacked me with everything he has, in full power, but well, something like that is useless.

「Diiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!!!!」

*Clink~!!

I returned the favor countering with a slash, and that attack severed his sword, chopping it to pieces.

「...___!!!」

「It is over, isn't it?」

「Haaaguu!!?」

I bashed his head with the flat side of the sword and made him collapse. He staggered from the hit and got down on his knees. I then pointed the sword at his neck.

「Do you want surrender?」

「...」

He is still probably conscious, but he is not replying. Stubborn aren't you, are you not going to admit defeat right here now? His eyes seem to be moving, looking around the area ahead of us.
