"It seems a tremendous new member has entered the Flame Magic Club!!"
"…Hoh? The rumor has already reached even your place. Did I go a little too far…"
"Mu? What are you talking about?"
"No, it's nothing. At any rate, it's not yet time to rush. First… how about renewing your sword?"
"Sword? …Ah."
Ruby noticed.
That her beloved sword had chips in the blade.
"This is… um…"
"A sword is the soul of a swordsman. You should take care of it."
At Rigel's words, Ruby nodded.
To such her, he continued.
"I'll introduce my regular blacksmith. You should buy a sword there."
"Got it! I'm in your debt!!"
Ruby bowed her head.
While looking at such her, Rigel floated a sadistic smile.
"Um… The blacksmith introduced by Rigel is…"
Ruby walked through the town.
She was searching for the shop Rigel had taught her.
"Found it."
Ruby stopped her feet.
On the sign of that shop, "Gossel Blacksmith Shop" was written.
"Here… Let's go in."
Ruby entered the shop.
Inside the shop, many weapons and armor were lined up.
"Welcome."
A man who seemed to be a blacksmith called out.
To such him, Ruby asked.
"Sorry! I've come by introduction from Rigel, but…"
"Nn? Ah… So you're the young lady named Ruby or something."
"That's right. So… I want to renew my sword…"
Ruby cut to the business.
The proprietor of the Gossel Blacksmith Shop nodded.
"Got it. What kind of sword is good?"
"That's right…"
After thinking a little, Ruby said.
"I want a light and sturdy sword."
"Hmm… Then, how about this?"
The proprietor of the Gossel Blacksmith Shop held out a sword.
It was a light and slender single-edged sword.
"This is…?"
"This is the 'Sword of Wind Cry.' It's light and sturdy so easy to handle."
"Hmm…"
When Ruby took the sword in her hand, she swung it several times.
Certainly, it was light.
And… it was a truly easy-to-use sword.
"I'll take this."
Ruby nodded.
To such her, the proprietor of the Gossel Blacksmith Shop floated a smile.
"Thanks as always! 100,000 gold!"
"Wha!? Isn't that too expensive!?"
Ruby was surprised at the high price.
To such her, the proprietor of the Gossel Blacksmith Shop said.
"Of course, right? This is a light and sturdy, good sword. Correspondingly a bit expensive. If you're going to bargain… hehe, with the young lady's body…"
"Gunuu…"
Ruby groaned.
On such her face, the proprietor floated a vulgar smile.
"What will you do? You have an important match or something coming up, right?"
"D-damn…!"
Ruby floated a frustrated expression.
Silence flowed in the place.
After a while, the proprietor burst out with a pu.
"Hahaha! Just kidding, young lady."
"…Ha?"
Ruby was blank.
To such her, the proprietor said.
"I'll hand it over for free."
"W-what…?"
"From Rigel the brat—I've already received the payment from Rigel the brat. Therefore, the young lady doesn't need to pay."
"I-is that a lie…?"
"It's true."
The proprietor shrugged his shoulders.
To such him, Ruby wryly smiled.
"Sorry… Thank you."
"If thanks, tell Rigel the brat."
"Got it. I'll do that… Fufufu…"
From Ruby's mouth corner, a smile spilled.
Having obtained a very powerful weapon, she was fully satisfied.
It was then that—
"Oh my~? Isn't it the small fry of the Swordsmanship Club. What a coincidence in a place like this."
"…!?"
Hearing such a voice, Ruby turned around.
There, two male students were standing.
"Y-you are…!"
Ruby was surprised.
Such her was sneered at by one of the two male students.
"Hah! Even at this late hour you renewed your weapon? There's only one week left until the match with us of the Flame Magic Club!"
"Kh…"
Ruby bit her lip looking frustrated.
Certainly, there was the right and wrong of renewing a weapon before an important contest.
But… right now was not a situation where she could say such things.
When she immediately pulled herself together, she said to the male student.
"I… have no intention of humble myself before a vulgar person like you!"
"Hoh? You're saying something. I'll lightly teach you the reality."
The male student grinned.
When he heightened his magic power, he released magic.
"[Fireball]!"
"Ha!!"
Ruby responded with her sword.
The wind blade she released cut through the fireball.
"Wha…!?"
"Don't think of me as the same as until before. Having met a good teacher, I am different by one or two degrees from before."
"W-what…?"
At the full-of-confidence Ruby's words, the male student was shaken.
To such him, Ruby readied her sword.
"Now, a fair contest! Flame Magic Club!!"
"Kh…! Don't get carried away! I also got an amazing teacher! With my full power now, I can even turn you to charcoal together with the sword…"
The male student heightened his magic power.
Truly a scene of carnage.
The blacksmith shop proprietor had withdrawn to the back.
It was just when a fierce combat was about to begin that—
"That's enough."
"!!"
One boy cut in.
It was the other Flame Magic Club student who had been quiet until now.
"B-but…! I can't leave this cheeky woman as is…"
"Didn't you hear? I said stop it there."
"U…! I-I'm sorry!!"
The male student was overawed.
Although the detailed circumstances were unclear, there seemed to be a clear hierarchy between the two's positions.
"Damn…!!"
When the male student spat it out, he left that place.
While seeing off such his back, the boy said.
"Yare yare…"
When the boy turned to Ruby, he said.
"Sorry. Our club member caused trouble."
"No, it's fine. Rather I want to thank you. I'm helped by you stopping it."
"I see… Then, good."
The boy smiled.
Because he was wearing a hood deeply over his eyes, that expression was hard to read, but…
"I've also been telling him, but somehow he doesn't have flexibility."
"Telling…? Ah, not to carelessly quarrel with other clubs, or something? A splendid attitude."
"Haa? Wrong, wrong."
The boy wryly smiled.
To such him, Ruby tilted her head.
"Then… what?"
"…High-quality goods."
"He?"
Ruby was blank.
Without caring, the boy continued.
"I'm telling him 'Don't carelessly injure high-quality goods.' Because it would be a waste if the precious rape candidates decreased."
"Ra…pe…?"
"You… won't you quit the Swordsmanship Club and become my exclusive sexual slave?"
"W-what…!?"
At the sudden proposal, Ruby was confused.
From a counterpart who seemed a good young man, the words "rape" or "sexual slave" suddenly flying out, there was no way she would not be confused.
"Hey, isn't it not bad? You are a small fry of the Swordsmanship Club, but that earnest spirit is not bad. And above all… cute."
The boy approached Ruby.
At such his nape, the Sword of Wind Cry was pointed.
The high-quality and sharp sword she had just obtained earlier.
"Oops…! How dangerous."
The boy stopped his movement.
Toward him, Ruby asked.
"I'm disappointed in you. In the end it's the Flame Magic Club, is it. You're making light of the Swordsmanship Club. Moreover, I also felt contempt for women. I absolutely cannot permit it."
"Fuu… Yare yare, it became troublesome…"
The boy let out a sigh.
At his nape the sword remained pointed.
This state was clearly advantageous for Ruby.
But… the boy showed no appearance of panicking.
"My winning is clear to see."
"Boring bluff… Then, why don't you move? If you don't move you can't win the contest."
"Move? Kuku, a Swordsmanship Club-like idea."
The boy floated a smile.
That smile was exactly evil.
"There's no need for me to move. Because there's the convenient thing called magic. …Oops, was it a harsh topic for a small fry who can't even use body reinforcement magic?"
"…!!"
Ruby put strength into the sword.
But… even so, the boy did not break his composure.
"If you want to cut, try cutting."
"…"
Ruby put strength into the hand gripping the sword.
And it was when she tried to swing it through that—
"I-it's hot…!?"
Ruby dropped the sword.
A dry karan sound resounded.
