2-9 The One Who's Potentially a Beast.
[Watch from there.]
The courtyard was bathed in moonlight.
Renzou was naked on the upper half of his body, and started to swing his sword
It meant that he was always repeating this act every night
[How bout it?]
[Hmm]
[.. Bastard, from what Ira said, don’t you have some amazing eye, Isn't it?]
[Aah, the examine eyes eh]
His eyes behind the eyepatch slightly thorbed.
Isagi made a big nod.
[Well yeah. Hence, because of that you took me here. Right?]
[Aah]
So it's not a battle. Thank god, or so he secretly felt relieved.
After all, Isagi didn't learn any swordsmanship here.
If he had to follow the setting, then there's no way he will be able to win against Renzou.
He will end up having to forcefully try to do various things.
Though he didn't quite understand what those various things are.
[Good grief,what will happen in this world dammit]
Renzou threw a spit.
[Why, did I fall behind to those guys ..... I am you know, even though the first thing that I have to do is go back to our world no matter what happens you know.]
Indeed it's weird or so Isagi thought.
Not to mention Renzou against shuu, even his growth is slow even compared to Yoshinobu.
He must have also been putting a great deal of effort in this.
Even the practice he does every night, that's true.
While Yoshinobu made Lolishia hear his『the great novel idea that I thought 』, he continued to swing his sword.
However, even with that it still can't be reached.
For sure, for Renzou that's a thing that he couldn’t bear.
That is why he almost never talked to anybody, even Isagi got dragged into it.
His attitude that will not choose the way to for the sake of his goal, Isagi gave a salute.
In some way, it was just like Isagi three years ago.
Isagi at that time, didn't have any other tech other than to get stronger.
If it is not like that, then he wouldn't be able to protect Plea, or so he thought.
In the quiet night the cry of an animal was heard somewhere.
Also, the sound of a ken cutting the air resounded.
As Isagi, still sitting cross legged, he looked up towards Renzou.
[Hey , Renzou]
[Aah?]
[Can I ask you one thing?]
[What a noisy guy you are, what ?] (TL: Tsun)
[I wonder, why are you so desperately trying to go back like this]
[....... Tch]
A silence, fell down between the two.
Where in the world did Renzou’s spirit strength come from? Isagi wanted to know it.
Surely he wouldn't easily open his mouth.
For these 3 weeks since they were summoned into the world that's unknown to them, he completely never let his guard down and continued this training.
It's a mental power unbefitting for a highschool boy.
At that time, when Isagi thought, as expected he wouldn't talk about it right.
[In my house]
Renzou started to talk slowly.
[There's Ayumi you know]
[...... Is that your wife?]
[It's not stupid]
Nevertheless Isagi never intended to make a fun of it.
As Renzou faced right in front him, he swung his sword.
[It's my little sister. We're not blood related though. Well, that doesn't matter right]
[Hmm]
[What]
He glared sharply.
Isagi frankly told him his thought.
[Well, if I say it maybe you'll shout at me again but .....
The motive of going back is for the sake of your little sister, somehow it's unexpected. That's what I think you know]
[Try to hide your true feeling a bit you idiot] (TL : baaka~ )
[Sorry. I'm at loss that I always have this kind of personality]
[......... Good grief. I don't understand what are you thinking ,but it is still better than the other fellows though]
Renzou looked over Isagi's side.
Even that sidelong glance which always look like that Renzou was glaring at him, now Isagi received a strange and gentle feeling.
In addition, is it perhaps because there's no one looking.
[ ...... Pops and mom are already gone]
[Eh?]
[Pops made a debt and ran away. Mom disappeared with a new man. Those guys are like trash]
[ .... Is that so... That's also hard eh]
Both of Isagi's parents, died at the same time in a traffic accident when Isagi was at his first year of middle school.
Which is better when he wondered.
No, there's no need for thoughts like that.
Renzou click his tongue.
[When I talk with you, my rhythm become a mess. Dammit]
[It's okay once in awhile. Right? ]
[..... Well in the end, I ended up taking care Ayumi]
[Aren’t you a good brother]
[Hah, from what aspect]
This time he seriously glared.
Renzou threw up words as if he mocked.
[With my earning we can't even live properly.
Even though Ayumi is still a first year at junior high, she is already working at a newspaper delivery you know.
To make matters worse, our house is a 6 tatami double room. A dirty rundown apartment.
I didn't even know whether if she will be able to continue into high school..
I'm a trash like brother you know]
Renzou swung his sword wildly.
As if there's something that he has to defeat at that place.
However, Isagi told him.
[You're a good brother you know, Renzou.
To be thinking about her that much, your sister must be happy. Right?]
[........ ]
Renzou lowered his wooden sword, and then looked up towards the sky.
His upper half looked as if it was wet.
The sweat flowed flown, and created a pool of water at the ground.
While he breathe heavily, he muttered.
[...... You too, speak something like what Ayumi said eh]
[Haha]
[Is there anything funny in this hah]
[Then you should accept it already. Don't become stubborn like that]
[It is still not enough]
He pointed his wooden sword toward Isagi, and thusly said.
[I will return from this world.
My place is not here. There's someone who is waiting for me over there]
[..... Is that so. That's right]
For renzou, these days surely felt really long.
He is is an another world, leaving behind his step sister which who is in a different age than him.
It's not like he just felt worried about her.
Surely there's also other urgent problems, like living expenses and such.
Isagi felt like he can feel one fragment of his solid determination.
[I have no time to sit idly at this place alright, Isa.
If there's something insufficient about me then tell me. I'll become stronger]
Even Isagi didn't know, if there's someone who is waiting for him or not.
However, he understands Renzou's feeling.
[ I'll do all the things that I am able to do too. Renzou]
[Aah. If you show restrain I'll kill you alright, bastard]
Renzou looked over Isagi's side, his mouth warped.
Though it's only a little bit, but Isagi felt that he was smiling.
It still has the immaturity feelings of the boy.
However, that holds the thing that the boy has to protect, it was a manly smile.
Ever since that night, Isagi and Renzou's midnight secret practice began.
It's an event of a certain night.
[Renzou's stance is too pointless. It's not a brawl.
The thing called swordsmanship is the sublimed version among the way to kill humans. That's why it's called an swordsmanship]
[..... Dammit! ]
The one who's become Renzou’s opponent tonight, was Shuu.
The wooden sword attack that goes wildly, he nonchalantly warded it.
[Don't neglect your defense.
