By the sudden turn of events, the Valkyrie, Claudia-san, and the others were stunned.

It’s a strange story, but I myself, who is pointing my wooden sword at Louise-san, was also in a daze because I don’t understand how did that occur.

And————

““““Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh!?””””

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh!?”

“No no no! I don’t understand why you, the one who defeated Louise-sama, was just as surprised as us!?”

“…… As expected of Seiichi-san, the one who became the winner with a donkey. I didn’t know that there would be someone more monstrous than Louise-sama……”

Claudia-san, quipped at my surprise with her Valkyrie fellows, and Lorna-san said something very rude.

No, that’s because! I don’t even know why I was able to move like that all of a sudden!

Ah, speaking of which, voices came to my head, but maybe it’s due to that!?

I quickly pulled my hood down deep enough so that no one around me would notice, and checked my status.

Then, in the skill column, I saw two unfamiliar names.

『World’s Eyes』…… A skill that interferes with the world itself. Fine enemy search was made possible, and its range extends up to 500 meters. However, it is usually in a normal searching state, and at will, detailed search would be possible. The effect of the skill 『Mind’s Eye』 have been increased, and you will be able to respond to speeds higher than ever before. You will be able to see things that you don’t have to see. Always activated.

『Reflexive Defense』…… A skill that allows the body to automatically take defensive actions against attacks that it cannot react with. However, it will not react to attacks from blind spots. Always activated.

Stop it alreadyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

What was that!? As I was wondering that things have calmed down a bit lately…… What the hell, it was just the calm before the storm!

My body isn’t respecting me at all!? Before I knew it, even my own body had taken away my human rights, Goddammit! (TN: LOL)

I don’t show it on my appearance, though, I’m just raging violently inwardly so that the Valkyrie fellas won’t look at me suspiciously.

Even so, such powerful skills …… can I really handle it?

It was even said that my body movements were caused by the 『Reflexive Defense』 skill; I was moving without knowing what was going on, right?

Even with my other skills, it’s still not me using the skills, I’m in a state where my skills use me!

Really, the human’s characteristics skill 『Evolution』 doesn’t have self-restraint! No, I do have the title of 『Without restraint on oneself』, though!

…… Dad, Mom. When I die, will I be able to go to heaven as a human being?

When I silently looked up at the sky and shed tears, Louise-san, who had been staring at me for a long time, quietly approached me.

“E,err……?”

To Louise-san, who stands silently in front of me, what words should I say?

…… I wonder what it is. I have defeated the strongest knight in this country ……which way is my tomorrow?

Everyone in the Valkyrie also, became silent when they saw Louise-san’s figure. Please, say something! Look, you were making a noise some time ago! Lorna-san, now is the time to show off your talking skills! Being silent is severe!?

I quietly checked on Louise-san.

Then, Louise-san slowly raised her face, and stared at me. ……A’re? I wonder what it is. It feels like her eyes are shining, though ……

As I was thinking about this, Louise-san opens her mouth suddenly.

“…… Can I call you Shishou?”

“Don’t cut off any more of my life pointssssssssssss!”

She finally talked, but what a bombshell remark was that!?

See, look around you! Everyone has a puzzled look on their faces!

That’s correct, isn’t it? I mean, the strongest knight in the kingdom called some weird robed guy her mentor, isn’t it? It couldn’t be helped for them to be surprised……!

However, when Louise-san pulled out the mysterious silver sword she was carrying on her waist, she stabbed it at the ground and hung his head down.

“I look forward to working with you from hereon, Shishou.”

“That’s a lie, right!?”

When I realize it, in a way that shows loyalty unnoticedly, she called me shishou. What’s that.

Aside from me who is stunned, the members of the Valkyrie, approached Louise-san and congratulated her.

“Good for you, Louise-sama! Finally, except for the 【Black Holy Knight (Black Paladin) 】-sama, Louise-sama have found an existence equal to or better than her!”

“Far from being equal, it’s overwhelming! With this, Louise-sama can be stronger and more beautiful than ever!”

“Louise-sama was always in the position of teaching, right? I’m glad you found someone who can make you really strong!”

There is no longer room for me to speak anything. Why?

When I was stunned with my eyes dotted, Claudia approached me.

“Well, you were strong, heh, Seiichi-kun. Oops, you’re going to become Shishou of Louise-sama, so would you prefer it if I call you Seiichi-sama?”

“Please give me a break”

When I earnestly asked her to do so, Claudia-san smiled refreshingly. What a good-looking guy.

“Fufuh. Well, but …… I’m really glad that you’re stronger than Louise-sama.”

Claudia-san, unlike her previous atmosphere, had a somewhat sad expression on her face.

“Louise-sama, was a swordsmanship genius by birth.”

“Eh?”

“And, Louise-sama …… can’t use any skills or magic.”

“…………Hah?”

I let out a dumb voice at the ridiculous stuff that came out of Claudia-san’s mouth.

……Wait, nonono, That’s strange.

Because that person, threw a lot of unreasonable slashes at me, didn’t she? How can that superhuman attack not be a skill————

Thinking about it that far, I noticed.

……Neither my unique skill 『 Art Steal 』 nor 『 Arrange 』 was activated.

For a moment, I thought it was a skill that I already had, but in the middle of the battle, I used my 『Clairvoyance』 skill, and I couldn’t see any effect indicating that she had activated a skill.

At the time of my fight with the Black Dragon God, given that I couldn’t see through its 『Penetration』 skill, perhaps it is meaningless for skills that are always active, but if that’s the case, it’s even stranger that my unique skill didn’t trigger.

Since, it’s a type of skill that is always activated, and she doesn’t have the skill to shoot a slash ————

“However, Louise-sama had a tremendous talent that defied such a handicap. It’s swordsmanship. Louise-sama, can recreate all kinds of sword techniques, not as a skill, but as her own techniques, just by looking at it once. She’s also very talented in martial arts, though not as much as in swordsmanship. Even the professionals in that field, have been transcended by her, you know.”

“……”

Louise-san, seems to have been more dangerous than I expected.

“Because Louise-sama is such, there’s no strong individual who can stand side by side with her even in other ages, let alone in the same age as her, and she has always been feared and respected. That’s why, Louise-sama…… have always been alone.”

“……”

“Fortunately, there is the 【Black Holy Knight(Black Paladin)】-sama in this country now. You’ve never seen his face before, have you? And his strength is …… equal to Louise-sama. But, I wonder if it’s the same”

“……”

“【Black Holy Knight(Black Paladin)】-sama is equal to her, but when it comes to training, Louise-sama inadvertently has a lonely expression on her face at that moment. Because of her strength, she is lonely. I don’t know if she has someone she can call her friend or not, but as her subordinate, it’s probably not something I should worry about, but I’ve never seen her having one. I always felt like there was a wall between us. ……That’s why, thank you. For defeating Louise-sama. For showing us Louise-sama, with such sparkling eyes……”

Claudia-san said so, and walked over to Lorna-san.

In my case, I came to this world and somehow acquired a hell of a lot of power, but in Louise-san’s case, she has such power from the time she was born huh.

…… It’s hard being alone. On top of that, it comes with a ridiculous power.

I don’t know anything about her, but I’m sure she must’ve been lonely. ……

When I was looking at Louise-san with such a thing in mind, she noticed my gaze.

Then she broke her blank expression and laughed a little.

“Master, again, please look after me from here on.”

“Ah, yes……”

It was a faint smile, but it had a destructive power because of the usual lack of expression on her face. As I was fascinated by that smile, Louise-san quickly returned her expression.

……wait, a’re? Just now, I gave a half-hearted reply, but……

What am I supposed to do!? Should I train Louise-san just like what she was doing to everyone in the Valkyrie!?

No matter how much of a monster my status is, I’m still an amateur when it comes to fights. There’s nothing I can teach her.

“Err, Louise-san. I don’t think there’s anything in particular I can teach you, though……”

“No, it’s okay. I’ll watch you and steal it.”

Oh dear.

It’s a surprisingly superhuman remark!

When I thought about that in my heart, an inorganic voice flowed into my brain again.

『The effect of the Skill 【Evolution】 has been activated. This allows the body to adapt to the situation. By adapting the body, the skill 【Guidance】 has been acquired. 』

In a state of half resignation, I check the skill I’ve suddenly acquired.

『Guidance』…… A skill that teaches skills, magic, and other skills and knowledge to others in a detailed and easy-to-understand manner.

Yay, now I can teach her!

I, due to the sheer rampage of the skill 『Evolution』, shed tears of blood.

I mean, can I already…… go home? Because, I’ve already done what I’m supposed to do, right?

Yes, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to leave now. Tentatively, before I came to this place, I’ve informed Saria and the others of the situation using 『Telepathy』, which is an effect of the 『Endless Love Necklace』. …… Aside from Saria, though, Al was very surprised.

I guess I don’t have anything to do here now, so I should be able to go home.

It was at that moment when I tried to call out to Louise-san to ask her about it.

『Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!』

Suddenly, a woman’s scream echoed through the royal castle.

When everyone in the Valkyrie and Louise-san are puzzled by the sudden scream, a maid ran towards Louise-san in a frantic look.

Oh, a real maid. Amazing.

“Lo,Louise-sama! The Ou-sama is ……The Ou-sama* is ……!” (TN: King)

“Please calm down. What’s wrong with His Majesty?”

The maid, who was asked by Louise-san who had a sharp gaze, took a deep breath once, and said in a loud voice.

“The king was attacked by someone…… and fell down ……!”

The moment they heard those words, Louise-san and the rest of the Valkyrie, as if the atmosphere they had just now was a lie, stiffened their face up with tension, and went deeper into the castle.

……A’re? They’re leaving me alone?

No, I know it’s a bad situation, though.

But I can’t move in my humble position now.

Because if I, an outsider, wander around the castle unnecessarily, it can be misunderstood that I’m a fellow assailant.

There’s not much I can do now.

So, let me just say this.

“Medic! Medic!”

A’re? Something’s different. That isn’t it.

“Combat Medic!”

…….

For now, I decided to stop playing around. No, it was a too sudden turn of events that I lose my head.

Once I had calmed down, I activated the 『World’s Eye』 skill that I had just acquired, and I decided to see if I could search for the assailant.
