Bethania “Estella…I’m the same as you”
Susie stands next to Bethany with her shoulders slumped.
Susie "I don't know what to say…I'm not sorry"
Bethania: "There's no need to apologize. I've received reports from my subordinates that they fought fair and square.
The decision was made on that. Estella isn't the type of person to complain about losing.
However, there was definitely someone who swung a mad sword from behind Estella, who was exhausted.''
The muscles in Bethany's entire body are stiff. You can see the anger in his eyes.
Susie: "The Holy Judgment of Ebalon…Is that so…"
Bethania: “There is no doubt that this is someone participating in this training.”
Esperanza, a high-ranking officer of Evalon Kingdom, approaches them.
Esperanza: “Lord Bethany. This time, something terrible has happened.”
Until recently, Esperanza and Bethania's units were conducting joint training.
After briefly bowing to Bethany, Esperanza looked around the scene and checked the situation.
Bethania "Dear Esperanza…I have a favor to ask of you"
Esperanza “What?”
Bethania: Estella returned to the barracks alone after training with Susie-dono.
After that, I have not had any contact with my subordinates or the military."
Esperanza looked as if she somehow understood what he was going to say.
Bethany:
traces of all the high-ranking generals of the kingdom before and after Estella returned to the barracks.
I would like you to investigate…”
Esperanza moved her eyebrows as if after all.
Esperanza: It sounds as if the general of Ebalon is asserting that he has harmed Estella-dono.
We can't conclude that it's Ebalon's work just by looking at those writings.''
Bethany can no longer control her heavy breathing.
Bethania: “Estella! She’s one of the few knights I recognize! She’s not a woman who can lose to the ordinary soldiers around her!
It would be impossible to pull off a trick like this unless you were of similar skill level! ”
Esperanza raised her voice in response to Bethany's loud voice.
Esperanza: “Then! There is a possibility that an officer of your army may have harmed Estella-dono!
Why! Only Ebalon must be treated as the culprit! ”
Bethany: “Are you saying that my Gregoris brethren will take over my friends!!!”
Esperanza: “There’s a possibility! You’re just saying!”
Susie: “Wait a minute…Esperanza…”
Esperanza “Haa, haa…”
Bethania: “If you don’t investigate! I will forcefully question the Ebalon executives!”
Esperanza: "You're an idiot…there's no way you'll let that happen!"
Bethania: "I can't stop this feeling unless I clear Estella's regrets. If you want to stop me, then become my opponent!"
Esperanza "Damn…this single cell is"
Susie: “Wait a minute…”
Bethany and Esperanza raised their weapons at each other.

Settlement
Esperanza "Hey, this stupid power! Gorilla! Muscle idiot! Muscle freak! Exhibitionist!…"
Esperanza, who is always calm, is constantly overflowing with abusive language. I'm anxious.
Susie "(sweat)…Esperanza…me too"
Esperanza: "Shut up, Susie!… Hey Bethany! Calm down!"
Bethany: “Shut up! I will take Estella’s revenge!”
Esperanza's clothes come off just by the wind pressure of Bethany's fists.
Esperanza: “What, how ferocious… If you take it seriously, you won’t even get a hit…”
Esperanza took a large distance from Bethany and glared at Esperanza.
Bethania, who was kept at a distance, headed towards Esperanza again.
Esperanza shouted, holding up her hand to Bethany, who was heading towards her.
"Ex!"
Bethany rushed into the fireball that suddenly appeared in front of her.
Bethania: “Ah! This is…”
For a moment, something like a fireball appeared and disappeared. It's like an explosion.
Esperanza held up her hand and put more effort into it.
Bethania sensed something unusual and jumped left and right to dodge the explosion that suddenly appeared.
Bethany glared at Esperanza and opened her mouth.
Bethania: “…Is that your technique?”
Bethany regained her composure a little.
Esperanza: That's right. I'm sorry, Bethania-dono. I don't think I can win in a hand-to-hand fight.
I'll take aim while keeping my distance! ”
When Esperanza raised her hand, fireballs shot out one after another and hit Bethany directly.
Bethania “Koooooo!”
However, as if rushing into the explosion, Bethania rushed towards Esperanza.
Bethania kept the distance constant as she bombarded him with explosions over and over again.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Esperanza was clearly starting to feel tired.
Even though Bethany's body is in tatters, her eyes remain as sharp as ever.
Esperanza has a pained expression on her face every time she sends out a fireball.
Bethania readied herself to rush towards Esperanza like a machine.
Susie: "Please stop!…I'll investigate…the inside of Ebalon…"
Esperanza "Susie…"
Bethany "…"
Esperanza: …Betania-dono…I promise to investigate this matter independently…
〇
Bethany "…"
Bethania: Susie-dono…Thank you…I think the blood was rushing to my head too…
Let's just wait and see how things go…''
Bethany walked towards Esperanza.
Esperanza was a little wary, but Bethany's murderous intent had disappeared.
Bethany hugged Esperanza with her strong body.
Esperanza thought to herself, “Huh?''
Bethany: “The battle with the Lord…I felt extremely numb…I’m grateful for that body”
Esperanza felt a strange sensation.
