Episode 70: Dojo Raid

“Thank you very much today, Miss!”

“Thank you very much!”

“I’ve told you before, haven’t I? I do this because I like it, not for your sake. There’s no need for thanks.”

Five years have passed since that day.

I, still a child back then, have become strong enough to handle our household’s guards and knight candidates in group combat without losing.

Those who couldn’t join the knights are hired as guards to protect our estate.

Considering how even fresh recruits struggled at first, I can feel my steady growth.

“No, that’s not true! It’s because you, Miss, spar with us that we can strive in our daily training! Watching you train motivates us to work even harder! That’s why we express our gratitude to you!”

A young man chosen as the leader among them gazes at me with admiration as he speaks. However, I silently think to myself, “Please don’t look at me with such eyes.”

After all, I’m only sharpening myself for revenge and to protect the weak, not seeking admiration from those who train daily for the sake of the citizens.

“Oh, so this is the strongest dojo in this territory? …Can it really be called a dojo? Oh well, it doesn’t matter. As long as it produces strong fighters. Anyway, entertain me, will ya?”

Just then, when I was feeling somewhat reckless, a rough-looking man barges into our estate, clearly looking for a fight.

“…Who are you?”

“Huh? Can’t you tell just by looking? I’m here to raid your dojo. Yesterday, I heard this territory is full of martial artists, so I went around a few dojos. Couldn’t find anyone worth a challenge, and now I’m annoyed. ‘Famous for having many martial artists,’ my foot. I’ll crush the big shot here and shut that rumor up for good.”

“Hey, isn’t that rude to just barge in like this?”

“Huh? Who are you?”

“I’m the leader of the candidates here—”

“Didn’t hear what I said? I don’t care about you weaklings. I’m asking for the strongest one here.”

The candidate leader steps forward to confront the man with continuous disrespect, but the man interrupts, demanding to face the strongest without any regard for the leader.
