Want to see if you have any talent for swordsmanship?
Success Condition: Receiving recognition of victory from a third party.
Penalty for failure: Banishment from the Duke of Diat♥】
As soon as Shailene finished reading the mission statement, she closed her eyes tightly.
Ha, shit… … .
What the heck, this piece of paper-like body has any talent for swordsmanship!
Linus, mistaking her for a lost soul and thinking she was troubled, opened his mouth again to press her harder.
“Why, why can’t you? If you really love swords and want to learn, you can’t avoid these types of training.”
“… … .”
“Or was the lie told with an ulterior motive?”
Shailene let out a silent sigh, her eyes wide open.
Anyway, since the mission was given and it was an unavoidable fight, she decided to steel herself.
“Let’s spar.”
Now that it’s come to this, we have no choice but to tackle it head on and solve it.
Linus wiggled his eyebrows as he noticed the change in Shailene’s gaze.
Let me try this, this is it.
He said, swallowing a laugh inside.
“Let’s have the sparring here in a week. Any objections?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Okay, see you then.”
That’s how the two people’s duel was caught.
* * *
It’s been an hour since we started practicing for the match.
‘If this continues, it will be X.’
I made decisions faster and more accurately than ever before.
In the first place, he didn’t know anything about swordsmanship, so there was no way he could do anything by himself.
Now I needed a teacher.
Someone who is skilled in swordsmanship and cooperative with me… … .
‘knife.’
I only had my servants.
I went straight to meet him, holding my wooden sword tightly in my hand. Come to think of it, I hadn’t seen him since the first day.
I searched all over the Duke’s mansion for the sword, but I couldn’t find a single shadow of where it was or what it was doing.
Tired from walking, I just shouted into the air.
“Knife, come out in front of me right now!”
Your master is desperately looking for you!
An unexpected response came to the call I made without much expectation.
“You finally came to me, master.”
I raised my head and looked around at the voice coming from above.
A cat was seen sitting on a high tree branch with its legs stretched out, leisurely like a cat.
He slowly got up and jumped down from the tree with alacrity.
Percussion.
The sword landed safely and stood tall in front of me.
I looked at him with a slightly dazed face.
His thick black hair was neatly cut, making his sunken eyes stand out better than before.
Even though he was only wearing a light shirt, his facial features, which seemed to have been carefully carved with a chisel, sparkled.
He stared at me intently with his dark eyes that did not receive much light even in broad daylight, and he bent down slightly and whispered.
“I thought I was left waiting without being able to move.”
“… … W, what are you talking about, why did I abandon you? Do I look that shameless?”
I was embarrassed and denied it. Of course, it is true that I had momentarily forgotten about the existence of the sword and neglected it because of the mission.
But I had no intention of using this opportunity to throw away the person who saved my life and lost his memory because of me.
“If it’s not really useful, you can throw it away. That’s a matter of efficiency, not conscience.”
Carl swept his head back and responded nonchalantly.
His impression became even more distinct as his thick eyebrows were revealed.
Who on earth would throw away such a handsome face… … .
“That’s not true. I was busy so I couldn’t come. Sorry.”
“There’s nothing to apologize for.”
Carl added, leaning back against the tree and crossing his arms.
“Thanks to that, I just played around like a bum.”
“Really? So you want to do some work now? Your body feels so stiff, doesn’t it?”
“No, not at all. Do you think the owner would do that?”
“Of course― no.”
As a working person, I knew better than anyone that having fun is always fun.
It’s exciting. It’s always new. Being unemployed is the best.
But, not a broke bum, but a rich bum.
Carl, who had been quietly looking at me with strong sympathy, tilted his head.
“I thought you came to check up on me again. That wasn’t the case at all.”
“Huh? Huh… … .”
“So, what does the busy owner want me to do?”
“That’s… … big!”
I coughed awkwardly, feeling like I had become a bad employer.
A wicked boss who uses and exploits people only when necessary, something like that.

The knife that had been staring at me as I hesitated snickered.
“What are you trying to make me do?”
“… … It’s incredibly easy and simple.”
“What is it?”
“Tell me about the sword.”
Carl’s eyes opened wide. He had a surprised expression on his face, but soon he looked at me closely.
From head to toe.
I straightened my back and corrected my posture, feeling a strange sense of tension as if I was being evaluated by a trainer.
“It wasn’t for nothing that he was dressed like that and holding a wooden sword in his hand.”
“I need your help. There is no one else who can teach me how to use a sword.”
“Why do you want to learn swordsmanship? It’s not even a necessary skill for a noble lady.”
Carl narrowed his brows as if he couldn’t understand.
I’m not learning it because I like it, Mr. Servant.
He took a deep breath and explained how things had come to this.
As soon as I finished my story, Karl spoke firmly.
“Just give up.”
“What? Why!”
“Just by looking at you, you can tell that Master is not the type to wield a sword. It’s not something that can be learned with just a few days of practice.”
“How do you know without trying?”
“Only stupid people know until they try. Smart people judge before they try so they don’t waste time.”
The knife smiled cynically.
This servant was too cold and honest in front of his master.
“What I hate the most is wasting my time on useless things.”
If that was Carl’s personal value, then there was nothing I could say.
Some might sympathize with Carl’s words.
‘… … But there’s this thing, Karl.’
You are a servant and I am a young lady!
“Teach me how to use the sword right now. It is my master’s order.”
As he brought out the words that he, as a servant, could not refuse, Karl swiped his palm down his face and sank into a deep sleep.
“… … Ha, you should have just continued to neglect me.”
He let out a sigh that was oozing with annoyance and took the wooden sword from my hand.
“First, change the wooden sword to a lighter one. It will put less strain on your wrist.”
“Okay. And?”
“Then―”
Karl, who had been thinking for a moment with his eyes closed, slowly moved his lips.
“Run until you throw up.”
A few hours later.
“Whoa!”
I’m really throwing up.
It was the result of the sword making me spin around to the point of death for the purpose of physical training.
As I finally stopped vomiting and straightened my back, he stood in front of me and spoke.
“Okay, now I’ll show you an example, so watch carefully and follow along.”
Carl held the wooden sword and slowly swung it downward from above his head.
I stared at it without blinking and then reenacted it in my own way.
“Your shoulder is twisted.”
“Oh, really? Is this okay?”
“Spread your legs a little more.”
Carl corrected my posture very strictly. I’m going to die like this.
“Okay, now swing it.”
“now?”
“uh.”
The moment I moved my sword up and down with all my might, following his words.
Thud, thud!
The sword’s clothes, which had not been able to move to the side in time, got caught on the tip of the sword and were torn.
Her chest and abs, made up of firm muscles, were revealed through the gap in her hotly flared clothes.
This was our second meeting, following the one at the inn.
“and.”
Even looking at it again, it still looks like a sculpture.
I stared blankly in admiration without realizing it, then later shut my eyes tightly and turned around.
“Sorry! I, I didn’t see it! I definitely didn’t see your six-pack looking any more defined than last time… …!”
“What is a six pack?”
“Stomach, stomach muscles… …?”
As I slowly turned around again, I saw that the sword was frozen still.
“Uh, how about closing the front door… … .”
He flinched at the cautious advice and grabbed his collar.
“Master, you… … .”
“Huh, huh?”
“Surely you didn’t want to do it, so you did it on purpose―”
“Oh, no! That was a mistake! You should swing it right now.”
I just did what I was told.
When I raised both hands to proclaim my innocence, he covered his eyes with his palms and sighed.
Then, after quickly checking my condition, he moved his legs very quickly and walked without saying a word.
His ears turned bright red as he moved away in an instant.
I shouted behind him.
“I’m sorry, servant!”
Please don’t run away like this.
