Chapter 9 - Duel Roy Vs Dane

He should have secretly killed himself while being held accountable, but he came back to life and started to re-examine the situation at that time… As soon as he realized that he was in a disadvantageous situation, he pushed himself. that he intends to appeal the legitimacy.

In a duel that was extremely profitable for him... With this method, the Dane could bury Roy's additional witness, which had the effect of two birds with one stone.

However, refusing a duel seems to be nothing more than admitting to all charges in this world, where Roy bears all the crimes of attracting thieves to the royal palace and injuring the prince.

After all, even though he had come back to life, he had no choice but to kill himself.

In the first place, the inadequacy of the royal palace's security allowed the invasion of thieves, so Roy was also thinking of pursuing responsibility for the Dane.

Roy felt that the captain should not go to work early, that the soldiers were full of very unscrupulous work attitudes, and that there was a hole in the guard on an important day, but he reduced it. the sin of hurting my hand while protecting the prince directly is very heavy.

Above all, Roy had not forgotten the grace that made way for himself, which had been blocked for the officer's path.

Therefore, it seemed that he returned to the castle alone and committed suicide without pursuing him in detail, but when he was questioned by a third party, Roy was full of suspicious points.

To clarify the responsibilities, Roy tried to re-check it from the guard, but the Dane was back and he was asked to duel when his position got worse.

It seems that this country also has a system of lay judges, but disputes between upper classes like nobles and senior officers are not as credible as gathering evidence and witnesses (since often leaving money to testify), duels, etc. It seems that there are many cases where the settlement is resolved.

If you have solid evidence, you can take it to court, but if you don't say so, you can't deny it if you file a duel.

Roy couldn't run here… He had died once… Therefore he did his best intending to die.

It is clear that even if you return like that, there is no other way but to be hungry again.

Okay...let's have a duel... but... is it okay if you plead guilty? If my claim is not true, you should be able to easily overturn it... as long as you are innocent... being able to do that and get her into a duel, isn't that the same as pleading guilty?"

Get ready and take a step forward... Roy doesn't find it mysterious and scary... He has a somewhat strange feeling of hope, or he wants to see what happens in the future.

At first, Roy thought that this condition was a dream of how he, who tried to help the old woman, was hit by a car and seriously injured, and dreamed of being bullied in a hospital bed. It was a long dream, but he thought "if I die after being killed by the Dane, I will wake up in a hospital bed surrounded by my family."

Even if he was reincarnated in this body by mistake, if he died again, it would return to his original body...? There was even a faint hope.

Even if you lose without strength, there is nothing scary if you think that your life will be the same as before.

"Now...don't say stupid things...at least what you have to do with your suicide...over the years so that you won't be ashamed of yourself for having failed once and being afraid and unable to escape from you. As my best friend… I was just trying to give you a hint."

Perhaps Dane was excited, his tongue wasn't turning properly, and he drew his sword while dyeing his face bright red.

Success Success… This is a battle with little chance of winning… He is allowed to use strategies that offend the opponent's emotions and lose their normal feelings.

That's because of the faint hope that if you get excited and make big swings, it might be easier to get a win from there.

Although losing is not an unpleasant game, losing without taking any action is not fun.

You should always be serious about the game and put all your wisdom and skills into it... He always thinks that not doing it is to mock your opponent.

"Then... it's fine... ha"

"Oh, Lord!"

As Roy stood in front of the Dane with his left hand on his waist, a guard who was to be a witness came in and tried to signal the start of the duel, but he pushed him away and closed the gap by running. Dane sprinkled on the stage and slashed.

The moment the Dane said that he was going to duel, the battle had already begun… Roy thought it was okay.

Place your right hand on the hilt of the sword in a system that immediately greets you, and when you take a half step forward, you can see the tip of the sword-slashing in slow motion.

"Shakin"

Roy drew the sword like a Batto Jutsu, parried the sword that Dane swung down about 30 cm above the head, shifted the sword like that, twisted the right wrist, and at the same time pulled the waist and pulled Dane's left shoulder Slashed horizontally.

When "Jubat" was played, fresh blood spurted from Dane's empty body with a dull response.

Roy thought it would be easy to dodge ... "Zuru" Immediately draw the sword towards you, swing it diagonally to the left using your wrist, attach your left hand to the hilt, and hang it on Derna's right shoulder. down, fresh blood flowed along the tip of the sword that dug deep into the clavicle.

"Shu"

"Dawn"

As he pulled out the sword as before, Dane's body, which had lost its support, collapsed heavily forward.

"Captain Dane!"

"Captain!"

Immediately, the guards rushed around and surrounded the Dane... Roy wasn't too happy... Roy wanted to know if he managed to get angry and lose his normal spirit.

"Hey, you shouldn't be captain yet? No, you said you're back… well… the wound is shallow so you shouldn't die. It would be helpful if you showed it to the doctor right away… Anyway, as everyone has seen people, this is a formal duel, and the Dane proposed to him and I accepted...

"Regarding the protection of the royal palace the day before yesterday, I thought I couldn't respond when I chased after him and applied for a duel in pain, but how?"

From Roy's memory, the man knew that what he had done did not cause any fatal injuries, so he would instruct the guards who witnessed them earlier and check the situation.

"Hmm... you're right... but... I'm not in a position to comment on the responsibilities of those two seniors!"

The guards took an upright and unwavering stance, saluted, and hesitated to answer.

"Well, yes, I don't need a personal opinion, so report what you have seen and heard here now. However, there is no captain... Please report to the Minister of State through the vice-captain."

"Hmm... I understand. Take him to the doctor immediately! Watch him so he can't escape!"
