CH 21.2

Allen’s intervention was unexpected, but his help seemed to make my plans a little easier.

“Young master, if I win, will you grant my wish?”

When I came out actively, it felt embarrassing for a while. But I raised my voice to Allen, asking the children to fight.

The more I looked at them, the more they shimmered. I seem to be younger than them anyway.

‘Things not worth to become knights.’

At the same time, I said provocatively, as Allen showed reluctance by saying, “That’s a bit…”.

“Are you not confident? I won’t make such a difficult wish.” Lia retorted.

“…Hah.”

Of course, the premise of winning was ridiculous, and Allen, who laughed mindlessly, pushed the smallest child back among the children who tried to run back to their flock.

“Don’t hurt me.”

But I shook my head and pointed to the biggest boy who I believed to be an enemy, “If I’m going to fight one person, I’ll fight him.”

“Lia!” shouted Jack, who was watching the situation, and grabbed Lia.

His pupils trembled violently as if he didn’t know I was going to fight the boy.

“I’d rather…”

“No, I’m responsible for what I said.”

I removed Jack’s hand and approached the condescending boy as if he had already guaranteed victory.

“Are you going to fight with your bare hands? You can hold a wooden sword if you want.”

Seeing the bewildered fellow pick up the wooden sword soon, I took a small comb out of the pocket of my apron.

“What is that…”

“It’s a girl’s comb to take your hair off,” I replied coyly to Allen, who gazed at me as if what I’m doing was ridiculous.

Diana was naughty, after a little play, her pretty ponytails would come loose quickly. However, I am also a child who loves pretty things, so it was my role to arrange her hair neatly in my spare time.

“I’m going to fight barefoot, but then I’ll look clumsy,” Having said that, I flicked the comb around. It’s a cute size, but it’s perfect for me.

Even though my physical strength has improved incomparably to when I was at the orphanage, holding a wooden sword is too big and heavy. Besides, this much is enough.

‘It’s similar to the dagger I used before.’

“You’re going to fight with that?”

Lia nodded at Allen’s question, rubbing his forehead he’s having a headache. Meanwhile, the children were clamoring for a quick start to the match.

“Everyone, if I tell you to stop, you must stop right away, okay?”

With Allen’s last request, a dog fight under the guise of a duel began.

Maybe it’s because he wants to be a knight, or fighting me looks funny, but I didn’t attack first, so I don’t have to go easy on him and run.

And first, I hit his ankle and pressed on it. Although I deliberately aimed for the weakest part, his lower body strength seems quite weak.

In an instant, the boy’s body crumbled, and his face, which I had to look up, also fell. Staring at his enlarged pupil in embarrassment, this time he quickly turned around and raised his hand, and then strongly lowered his wrist.

The boy who couldn’t even defend himself dropped his wooden sword from his hand, which I hadn’t even seen him properly swing once.

Lastly, swoosh~

As soon as his hand touched the ground, I immediately got on his back, grabbed the back of his head, and aimed at his defenseless neck with the comb, I heard a sharp sound.

There’s no way a comb can make such a sound, it seems that my special training with the Master was not in vain.

Although I may not have the power I had before, my body was small and light and could move quickly.

“…What, what is that?”

Suddenly, startled voices came out of the mouths of the children who were watching around us. They were shouting at each other about what had happened to the match as if they were not fully aware of the situation in front of them.

Enough to understand, in the blink of an eye, a big boy collapses and I’m on top of him, threatening his neck.

Especially Allen and Jack were watching me in disbelief.

‘It’s all about the experience. You little kids!’

With a light shrug, I came down from the boy’s back and swung the brush lightly again, meaning, ‘If this was a real sword, you would be dead,’ and put it back in the pocket of my apron again.

‘Because I have to brush Diana’s hair later.’

As I fixed my clothes along with a wide smile I walked up to Allen and said, “Because I won, keep your promise Young Master. My wish is…”
