I’ll Live My Second Life!

183

Have you ever been jealous of anyone?

In Phee’s case, I think it was the first time Couinu had done so.

When I was a princess, I was never conscious.

Because I took that for granted around me and myself.

When I became an apprentice knight, I was a goal around.

One day, it was a distant goal, but I thought I’d catch up with you. Even to the Gollms……

The first time I was aware of that emotion was some time after I became friends with Couinu.

At first I thought even Couinu was like everyone else.

Even when I defeated that strong Gollms in an instant, I thought it was something like that, I just had to get my goal another step further, that’s what I thought.

But it wasn’t.

I find myself spending more and more time with you.

Couinu was special.

Though Lizzie often refers to herself as a genius, Phee thinks the real genius is a cooinu.

Of course I know that even Couinu is trying. Something I’ve been working on since I was a kid.

But that’s the same for everyone.

Golms, Laemier, Slad, they play swords from childhood.

Everyone still lacks sword practice to be a fine knight.

I don’t like the fact that he looks like he’s working too hard on Gollms, but he was a real hard worker.

That giant is a Gollms advantage, but muscle training is essential to move that body freely at the same time.

I know that Gollms has doubled his muscle tre time since losing to Couinu.

Still no sign of catching up with Couinu.

Normally try and be stronger than anyone else.

That’s the cousin.

Even if Fee tries, he can’t even keep up at its feet.

He looks fine, makes sure he walks just like that, and pulls the fees apart.

So everyone is paying attention to the cooinu.

Though it is rarely the center of a person’s circle because of its huge personality.

No one forgets about the cooinu.

The boys in the north quarters, the boys in the other quarters, and the adults are all aware of the cooinu.

A boy who is the best use of swords among apprentice knights and will probably be the top of the knights in the future.

I’m just there, proving my existence.

That was something Fee wanted and couldn’t wait to do.

Yet if I coughed up, I wouldn’t be aware of it, and I’d be spending some time relaxing by Phee’s side.

(Well, you should be forgiven for being jealous, right?)

Fee wipes his hands once to keep his lips slightly pointed, gripping the wooden sword.

This is the corner of the fort designated by Cognac as a place of duel.

The stage of a futile duel that began with this futile twist.

Both Phee and Cognac are ready and standing in the place.

There were apprentice knight boys around, intrigued and surrounded by it.

I looked worried and saw this one. There were Reimier, Slad, and also Couinu figures.

“You’ve come a long way without running away.”

Cognac looks at Fee and waves his wooden sword barely to intimidate him.

But Phee was watching about the cooinu.

With a slightly dissatisfied face.

(Well, you worry, don’t you? I’m weak.)

You’re worried about me, but it might be rude to think like this.

(But I think even Couinu is bad. You’ve never hit on me before.)

Yes, instead of putting a knife in the cousin, Phee has never even been put in a knife.

So much leeway to get screwed.

Until then if they say it’s poor strength, but I think it’s just a little rude.

(So forgive me enough to have these feelings, right?)

Watching Couinu look back at Fee worryingly, whining about that in his mind at the end, Fee shifted his gaze to Cognac, the match’s opponent.

Still, my mind is still conscious of the cooinu.

I want to be able to catch up with Couinu.

I want to be recognized as an opponent who fights properly, not as one who gets to play such a hands-down game.

Even if talent doesn’t win, you want to grab the hem of those pants.

For that, it wasn’t the way it used to be.

“I’ll tell you what, don’t resent me for being spilled”

With that said, Cognac intimidates this one.

Instead of words and deeds, he is a surprisingly tall boy.

This battle is also being challenged with odds.

Then what is his chance of winning?

The answer was clear.

Because Fee is small.

The small ones are weak. Big ones are strong.

This is the truth most of the time. Physical differences in battle are significant advantages.

Big and small dogs quarrel and nothing expects the latter to win.

Phee is actually weak, too.

So Phee has been devising and trying to fight.

Make sure other weapons as well as swords can be used together, or acquire moves that will surprise your opponent.

But if you’re trying to beat Couinu, then no.

Because the underlying forces are too different.

Whatever small craftsmanship Phee uses, his strength is too different to make any sense.

So if you want to catch up with a cooinu, if you’re going to be able to get at least one tae knife in even if you can’t catch up, Phee needs to give you pure strength, too.

Cognac’s actions show one truth at the same time as his chances of winning.

Pick a weak opponent to challenge the battle and try to cut your momentum by intimidating him before the battle. That himself showed that the strength of the sword was not that confident.

If such an opponent doesn’t have enough strength to defeat him from the front, he can’t even compete with Couinu.

After a long vacation and hearing about survival training, Phee had a special training session with Gollms.

To bridge the strength gap with the cousins.

Even though Gollms would not be his own training, he still responded comfortably by saying, “I’m studying everything”.

It’s time to show that achievement.

(Look, Couinu)

Fee glanced at the cooinu and pulled out the wooden sword and set it up.

Cognac, who had said a lot of things, also lays his sword with his face crooked to Phee, who barely stood silently by Cognac’s provocation.

“Hmm, that’s good. I don’t need your help. I’ll beat you to death with my strength!

Fee and Cognac, the duel between the two began.
