Chapter 164-2 The Appearing Supernova
(Wow, another strong one has appeared. I almost want to ask if you're okay over there, hey Master?)
(Laughing loud, jumping down from high up, then ending it with a bold intro... this guy? It's looking fire! Not gonna lie!)
(Ah, excuse me! There's one person here who is not okay!)
But that introduction was super cool!
I really want to do that in the future!
"Hmm, that red hair... you're the knight Hiiro, the one everyone is talking about lately!"
"Oh? Good eye! Yup, that's me, Hiiro Merifar. The knight that just copped the Red Copper medal!"
"O-oh! That medal on your chest is real! So cool! I'm so envious!"
"Kukuku, I know, right? I'll let you take a good look. Don't forget this shine, alright?"
"Oh, really? Hiiro is so generous!"
As I proudly show off my medal, Friese smiles brightly and starts dancing around me.
It's amazing, I feel really good.
It was a flashy entrance, but Friese is a good kid.
She's a genius at making people feel good!
"Hey, are they getting close super fast?"
"Maybe they match? That person is just as silly as that idiot."
"Um, is she really okay with jumping from that high...?"
"Hmm, her movements are pretty impressive."
"Sveiz team... Dimonshire. Could it be...?"
I feel like they're saying whatever they want, but I really do get along with this girl weirdly well.
We probably have similar interests.
She would probably love it if I showed her some super sentai anime.
This girl Friese feels too friendly for a first meeting.
After spinning around, she suddenly tightens her expression like she remembered something.
"Ah! No, no! I can't just admire you, Knight Hiiro! I came to declare something!"
"Huh? Declare something, you say?"
"That's right!"
"What?!"
Friese glared sharply and pointed at me with a snap.
It seems this was her real goal all along.
Her expression is a bit too soft, lacking some intensity, but her passion is surely real.
The pressure she releases is out of proportion to her small frame.
The sensation of skin crackling under tension made me sense the girl's true strength.
This must be...
"Someday, as the nation's top knight──and beyond that, as a 'man'──I have found the one I must train against!"
"Huh, so a rival... huh?"
"What?"
"Huh?"
"Mm?"
"Yeah?"
"Mm?"
(Haaah!? )
"Uhm... what?"
For a moment, I thought it was the appearance of a new rival.
Eh.
Wait.
Wait.
Now, it seems like Friese just said something we can't ignore.
The bombshell statement froze us in time, and the one who dropped it merely tilted her head in wonder.
Such a strange silence flowed for several seconds.
Breaking the time freeze was the loud voice of a new intruder.
"W-Wait, wait, waaait!!!"
"Huh?"
A female knight rushed in through the open door, looking flustered.
Her shoulder-length light purple hair was fluttering wildly, showing no sign of composure.
"Free-Free!! Geez-! What are you doing again-! Causing trouble for others-!!"
"Huh? Captain Hailey, why are you here?"
"Free-Free left a note saying she's 'going to challenge the legendary knight Hiiro'! That's why, isn't it☆?
And she just climbed over the gate! The gatekeeper was angry! Ugh, cough, sniffle..."
"Oh my. Captain Hailey, you're all sweaty. Are you okay? Take a moment to catch your breath."
"Bu, whose fault is it..."
The spotlight shifted, and before we knew it, we were outside the mosquito net.
But she must have noticed us, still stunned by her rush.
Blushing furiously, she shyly fluttered her reddish-brown eyes.
"Ah, sorru! I'm sorry to bother you! Uh, you are the Reginleif squad, right? I'm sorry I'm late, I'm Hailey Ninebrea. I'm the captain of the Svez squad, also in Brunhilde. Um, nice to meet you!"
