Interlude - Royal Martial Tournament Part 5 - A Cove of Renegades Even after leaving the arena, Echidna wouldn’t leave me alone: in the end, we went to a restaurant on the main avenue for dinner. We ordered a relatively gorgeous course and chatted about recent events while drinking wine. We stayed until closing time, then I escorted Echidna to the horse carriage I had called for in advance. “Are you going back to the dorm, Dyn? You can stay over if you like…” I had a room at the academy’s…

Interlude - Royal Martial Tournament Part 10 - A Bewitching Flower That day, I had a battle scheduled for the morning. The opponent in my second bout in the tournament was a student in the same year at the academy. “There! It’s my win!” “...! I admit defeat!” My strike blew away my opponent’s sword. He frowned in frustration, then raised his hands to admit his loss. The audience cheered: I put my sword back in the sheath and extended my right hand to the opponent, who had fallen down on the…

Interlude - Royal Martial Tournament Part 1 - An Eloquent Blade Two years before the current events, in the Lamperouge royal capital… The massive circular arena was overflowing with people. The waves of spectators were all focused on the center of the field, where the battle would soon start. Hundreds, thousands of eyes were all concentrated on a single spot. It was a rather bizarre sight, especially considering that the upcoming battle was simply a one-on-one duel. All the excitement and…

Chapter 62 - Heaven’s Rabbit Swept away towards the depths of the sea, despite my fading consciousness I managed to open my eyes. The sunlight could not reach the seafloor, but the sphere of light on the giant crawfish-like creature — Poseidon — allowed me to see ahead. Before my eyes, the seafloor city of Atlantis was crumbling. In the distant past it had even survived the evil gods’ invasion, but the breach of its barrier made it impossible to withstand the crushing water…

Chapter 63 - The Rabbit’s Resolve “...can I ask you the reason why?” After a brief silence, I asked a question to the young lady clad in a bunny costume. In contrast with her attire, her expression was very serious. “After seeing the state in which that Drake person left the Garnet Kingdom in, I felt a tightening pain in my chest.” Sue started talking, with a streak of fear in her voice. “The Garnet Kingdom is the place where I lived with father and mother, with the sisters in the…

Interlude - Royal Martial Tournament Part 2 - A Flower in the Changing Room The royal martial tournament, held every year in the royal capital of the Lamperouge Kingdom, was a tradition hailing from the reign of the first King. The founding king of Lamperouge had united the other local lords under his command, through military force, and drove away the Baal Empire and other foreign powers from the current kingdom’s territory. The first king strongly believed that all citizens had the duty to hone their…

Chapter 64 - End of an Adventure, and the Omen of Misfortune We spent three days sailing to the Garnet Kingdom mainly on the bed. The crew apparently caught the hint: they never even got close to my cabin, so I could enjoy my remaining time with Sue to the fullest. Eventually…we arrived at Garnet, and it was time to say our farewells. We communicated our feelings to each other plenty in the last three days, so the farewell itself was rather short and simple. Sue descended on land, and said goodbye…

Chapter 58 - The Evil Gods’ Curse ”I was born one thousand years ago here in Atlantis, where the people who fled from the evil gods lived in hiding. I was raised without learning anything of the outside world: for me, this seafloor city was everything.” I was deep in thought, going over all I was learning, but Drake continued talking. “We lived in peace, all things considered, until the day the evil gods found Atlantis.” “......” “The power of the evil gods’ curses took the lives of…
