Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

I return to Fleetia with Return and report to Liese immediately.

"Oh! Splendid, you've got it! I want you to make me some honey juice, but before you do, there is someone I want you to meet. I'll take her to your house and wait for you. Don't leave me unattended"

After being told that, I waited for a few minutes. Liese and many other people arrived. What's going on?

"I'm sorry. Takuto. The story has become important"

Wait a minute. Don't tell me these people are all after honey juice? There are a lot of people who look like knights. When I was surprised, a girl in a dress stepped forward from the knights.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Henri. Henri Freetia. I am the third princess of this country"

Ah...so the princess has arrived...or rather, the third princess? I heard from Aura-san and her friends that the first princess was ill, but I didn't know that there was a third princess.

But this house has nothing...is it okay?

"No need to worry. Are you the creator of that honey juice?"

"Yes, I am. I'm Takuto, a summoner who made the honey juice"

I introduced myself. Then one of the knights says to me.

"Hey. Are you sure about this? If you're lying, I'll show you no mercy"

What? Is he trying to fight me?

"You...I'm the one who introduced Takuto to you. Do you doubt my words?"

"N, No. It's just that he lives in a very strange place..."

I'm sorry that I live in such a strange place. But other people agree with this opinion. Some even laugh at my store.

It's not exactly my store, but it's annoying to hear people laugh at our base. Liese and Princess Henri also look unpleasant at the appearance of the knights. The butler senses this and makes a suggestion.

"Hoho. If you insult this store that much, may I assume that you are prepared to fight the manager?"

"Haha! That's fine. But will you be my opponent?"

The first knight to come at me agreed to a duel. Liese and the butler laugh when they hear it. Ah...I'm saying this is boring.

"You can't know that until you've fought. Will you fight for us, Takuto-dono?"

Info flows when the butler asks me.

『Special Quest 『Duel with Freetia Escort Knight』has occurred』

Special Quest 『Duel with Freetia Guard Knight』

No reward

Win a duel against the knights escorting the third princess of Freetia.

Quest. No reward. Well, what should I do?

"Are you sure?"

"I don't care. I'll give you as much punishment as you want"

"It was a knight who made such a remark. It is a good opportunity for you to see the pain and know your inexperience. You may fight to your heart's content"

"Haa. Does Princess Henri approve?"

"Yes. To be honest, these people came along on their own as guards. I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask you to fight a duel"

If Princess Henri is so inclined, then it's inevitable that she will allow the duel.

"I understand. I'll accept the duel"

Lily and the others were excited by my answer.

"Takuto! Beat them to a pulp!"

"Punish those who laughed at our store!"

"I believe Takuto-sama will win"

"Takuto-oniichan...please do your best"

I guess I'm a simpleton, as I'm getting more motivated after being told that by these kids.

"I'm having my sword fixed, so can I use my bare hands?"

"Huh. You're okay with that?"

"I'm fine with my bare hands"

"Don't regret it"

We went out into the street to duel. And so the duel began.

The knight holds up his sword. I don't take a stance in response. I stand naturally, looking at my opponent. When the knight sees this, blood rises to his head and he slashes at me.

"Tsueyaaaaaa!!"

I appreciate that he doesn't use martial arts.However, it is not a story to ride such a provocation. I use the right cross counter to hit the knight in the face. That's why I grab the flying knight by his left hand and pull him back. From there I keep hitting his face.

No, because the opponent is a knight wearing armor. This is untouched. Then it is natural to aim at the face without armor.

"S, Sorry...please...help me..."

And the duel ends with my victory. The only one left is the knight whose face has been beaten to a pulp.

"He's strong..."

"Re...Relentless..."

The knights were buzzing. I don't think I've shown that much strength...but that's it―

"Amusing. I'll be your next opponent"

No way...the next person to come out was a large heavy knight with a large sword.

The duel begins. This time, I held my ground. The heavy knight with the large sword who saw it attacked me with a ferocious smile.

"Zeaaaaa!"

Not sure if he's going to use his martial arts skills, but he's still full of holes. I'm going to throw my arm into the pocket of the knight who's trying to swing his large sword down and throw him while crouching. This is one of the techniques of Aikido sword fighting.

"Guhaa! Wh, What's happening?"

I quickly stood up, jumped and did a spin in the air. My stance was a heel drop.

"Wait!? Stop!?"

My heel drops in the air and explodes into the big man's neck. He was twitching. There was a response to the fracture. I'm sure the damage to his neck will keep him from moving...I just keep kicking him and the match is over.

The knights were shocked by the fight. Then Hephaestus brought out a glass sword. When the knights see it, they start screaming for a sword fight.

Lily and the others are laughing at this. Lise and the butler are also laughing. Well, if they're motivated, let's just do it.

A few minutes later.

"St, Stop!"

"I give up! I give up!"

"Don't cut me again~"

"It hurts...it hurts~"

The knights who were cut up pathetically on the street were left lying around. And then, the information announcing that the quest was completed flowed. And then the fighting and one-handed sword skill leveled up. It's a sad level up.

And then the butler and Princess Henri said to the weak knights.

"Oh dear. It's pathetic that they raise their voice when they're held back..."

"Indeed. You should all go back to the castle"

"!!? But, Princess!"

"It is obvious that you are not capable of guarding the castle. You should go home and train"

『Ye, Yes...』

The escort knights rushed home. I think I've done something wrong.

It's hard to write about Aikido in writing. I don't know much about Aikido, so if there are any errors, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.
