Chapter 6 – If I Hit as Hard as I Could, I Could Even Turn the Best Knights Into Little Pieces

The story continued with the Duke, who is Yuzuriha-san’s father.

“However, my daughter, who is said to be the strongest and is the cutest in the world, lost to a man. This is unacceptable, and that’s why I came to see that man with my own eyes.”

“…Um, well…”

A few days ago, Yuzuriha-san and I were involved in some kind of combat.

Or rather, from my point of view, Yuzuriha beat me up one-sidedly.

In the end, she ran away crying, leaving me confused and not knowing what just happened. That was the conclusion of our last encounter.

Furthermore, at the end, Yuzuriha-san cried and ran away while saying “Uu… Huuu, uwaahhh!!” and it ended without any clear understanding of what had happened… That was the outcome of our previous encounter.

“Um… Didn’t I just get beaten up one-sidedly by her…?”

“Hah, what are you talking about?”

In response to my legitimate protest, Yuzuriha-san just shrugged her shoulders as if to say, “You don’t understand at all.”

What an attitude, after beating up someone else.

“Listen, Suzuha-kun’s older brother. You are the only person in the world who has been seriously hit by me and not suffered a single injury. If I hit as hard as I could, I could even turn the best knights into little pieces, you know?”

“How dare you do it to a commoner!?”

I wanted to tell Yuzuriha-san not to do to others what she perceived to be so dangerous, regardless of her confidence in her mysterious offensive power.

At my overly justified protests, Yuzuriha-san was flustered,

“I don’t want you to misunderstand, I was sure that if it was Suzuha-kun’s older brother, he would be fine. And in reality, he was fine, wasn’t he?”

“Well, that’s just hindsight.”

“Results matter, you know? As a member of a high noble family, I am always expected to produce results.”

Yuzuriha-san puffed out her chest and said, “How pitiful, isn’t it?”

It felt like the topic had been shifted, but I didn’t have the courage to make a comment to an aristocrat.

What comes out of my mouth is excluded.

“Um, so what should we ultimately do?”

When I asked for a conclusion, Yuzuriha-san immediately responded as if she knew what to do.

“I heard that Suzuha-kun’s older brother is still training Suzuha-kun. I was wondering if you could show us how it’s done.”

“Is that really enough?”

“Yes. By watching the two of you train, Father should be able to understand your strength.”

Suzuha tilted her head in confusion at Yuzuriha-san’s words.

“If Yuzuriha-san wants to see Nii-san’s strength, wouldn’t it be faster to just fight each other again?”

“…I don’t want to lose miserably in front of my father. Please understand.”

“I see.”

Suzuha nodded in agreement, but I didn’t quite understand.

Anyway, it’s not like I have a hobby of getting beaten up by a high-ranking noble’s daughter in front of her father, so I kept quiet.

“Well then, Suzuha, if that’s the case, let’s get started right away.”

“…I have no choice. It’s frustrating to have our training interrupted by outsiders, but…”

“Hey now, you have to be on your best behavior in front of guests. Oh, I know! How about we hold a fried chicken feast tomorrow if Suzuha does her best?”

“Come on Nii-san, let’s do our best today too! Here I come!!”

After that, Suzuha and I started training, and Yuzuriha-san and her father watched the whole thing with great interest.

Yuzuriha-san was especially surprised not only during the training itself, but also before and after when Suzuha took her time to stretch and loosen up all of his muscles.

We are commoners, so even if we get injured, we cannot rely on healing magic to quickly heal our injuries.

That’s why we do the stretching to avoid injury.

As for the scene where I thoroughly massage and knead Suzuha’s muscles, Yuzuriha-san turned bright red and pointed her finger at us, shouting “Ah, that is indecent! That is extremely indecent!” but I didn’t understand what she meant.
