SS: Liza the Magic Spear

 

Shiga Eight Swords-- .

They're the strongest swords of Shiga Kingdom that eliminate demons .

I was taught those words by my father since I was small .
I would have never imagined that I would have a bout against that Shiga Eight Swords--much less, winning against one .

I, who still can't make Master go serious . . . .

"Liza the Magic Spear, I'll let you serve under my earl house . I'll give you the same salary as a human knight . "
"Liza-dono, I wish for a match . Oneself is Kajiro of Jii Gein style--"
"Are you interested in becoming a knight of the kingdom army? We'll welcome you not as a retainer but a holy knight . "

Invitations for matches and solicitations came to me one after another .
I troubled Master each time that happened, I felt as thought my body shrunk .

I wonder how will Master think about it this time?
I'm worried Master who hates to be lionized by others would hate me .

Calming my upset mind, I practice the way of spear alone in the mansion's courtyard .

The Magic Edge lights up the dark garden .
Magic Edge that was once something difficult is now as easy as breathing .

If I told this to me from one year ago, there's no doubt that I'd be laughed off .

I shake off such an idle thought and concentrate on the basic form .

--Pierce, sweep, hit .

After finishing the basic form, I continue with the self-taught style I learned during the labyrinth city's battles .



I turn my body aside and then make a leg sweep with my tail .
I sink my body with not just my leg, but also my tail, making use my whole body as a spring, and then stab with my all .

Ending the form, I felt a presence appeared in one corner of the courtyard after I made the motion of returning the sword to its scabbard .

"It's wonderful as always . "
"Master--"

Our Master appeared from behind a grove of tree where no one should've been .
I could faintly feel Tama's concealment technique, but Master's concealment is too natural I can't sense it at all .

"Was I a bother with the sound?"
"Not at all . The other girls are sleeping with such happy faces after all . "

Master talked gently to me who was being timid as if reassuring me .



And, I put out cruel words to that kindness .

"If Liza is interested in Shiga Eight Swords, it's fine if you want to accept it okay?"
"Am I already unneeded--"

--How cowardly of me .

To think I said something like that while anticipating the gentle Master to deny it .

"No way . It'd be lonely if Liza wasn't here . "

I let out a sigh of relief after hearing that .

"Nevertheless, I want to prioritize what Liza wants the most . If that's what Liza really wants, then I will respect that decision . "



Kindness may sometimes becomes poison .
I understand that Master does not need anyone in the truest sense .

--Even so .

Even so, I want to be with Master .

I swear to my partner, magic spear, who's glowing red receiving my determination .

Someday, an existence that can be relied upon by the aloof Master, I-- .

--Will become one .

I don't remember whether I was able speak those words in the end .
However, surely .

My spear knows .
