The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 106, I Want to Always Be By Your Side
Liyu was speechless, standing confused as if not knowing what had just happened. He realized that he had been defeated by someone other than Nakano and his Uncle.
"The attack.... What just happened...?" tanyakene,
"You don't remember? You've lost.",
"But how?",
"I smashed the sword energy I gathered into the ground which caused me to bounce in the opposite direction. I used that attack to dodge your attack and counterattack you.",
"...",
"Calm down. You will use such tactics one day. You are too focused on the goal of defeating your enemy without thinking about what the enemy will do next. Short thinking is okay in a fight but sometimes long thinking is also the key to victory. Start thinking. Use tactics to trick the enemy, and then they'll dance in your control like puppets.",
"...".
I smiled cynically, pulled my sword and put it back in his belt.
"Great fight, Liyu. But it's still lacking to make you strong like your brother-in-law. Learn more, if you feel much stronger call me. I'll serve you whenever you want." I said.
I turned around and walked straight back to my training ground. The fight was enough to make my boredom disappear. Although I didn't expect Liyu to be this strong, he wasn't this strong before Nakano and the others came here, maybe I could beat him in one or 2 swings.
I walked away leaving Liyu alone. Liyu fell down and realized that she was still not strong enough to surpass her own sister-in-law.
I walk back. It was almost until I could see my training ground being taken care of by Tohka. My previous orders still continue to this day. Well, at least no problems happened.
Tohka who noticed me immediately saw me who was sweating a little with a shirt slightly covered in dust. Tohka.
"Hey, Artoria!" her greeting.
I leisurely walked closer to him.
"What's wrong?" my tofu, my,
"nothing. Why are your clothes so dirty?",
"I'm training with Liyu.",
"And the results?",
"Series.",
"As I expected.",
"..... How are these soldiers training?",
"As you can see, they are still carrying out the previous orders from you until now.",
"the development?",
"I think they're getting a little bit more nimble and strong.",
"That's it.".
I looked towards those soldiers, seeing if their strength was increasing or not. The sound of the sword and the voice of the soldiers there filled the training ground. After I looked carefully, it was true what Tohka said, their strength increased even if only a little. I want to continue their training but I'm tired of needing water.
"Wait a minute" Tohka said and went somewhere.
After a few seconds, he came back while running lightly and gave me a bottle of cold water. I thanked him for taking it from Tohka's hand.
"Thank you." I said, too,
"Good good...".
He looked back at the soldiers.
"How's Liyu doing?" tanyakene,
"He's been getting stronger since he was Nakano's student. If his abilities were honed, perhaps his strength would exceed Nakano even uncle Izayoi.",
"Heh.. it's true what Nakano said, he's a gifted child...",
"...".
I smile. Tohka looked up at the sky filled with burning smoke from the city. The smoke filled the ceiling to the point that we could barely tell the difference between day and night. The smoke we breathe. We hope it's done so soon, we can breathe fresh, clean air again.
Tohka who looked up smiled and asked,
"I wonder.... What is he doing now?",
"Yes, you're right.had not seen him since yesterday but...",
"It feels like I haven't seen him for thousands of years, when it was just yesterday...",
"Yes.you're right...",
"Actually..: how much do we love her to the point of feeling such a shame?".
I don't know.... Nakano... Why did you choose that path? Have you fallen? Have you given up? If so, I will always be on the side no matter what time it is. If you give up, please take me with you...
Tohka stretched his body upwards and exhaled slowly and casually.
"Now, we better do what we have to do now" he said,
"Yes too...",
"And you!" he said pointing at me,
"You should shower and change your clothes. Dirty clothes!".
Normally I would be annoyed by her words just now, but what she said was true. I need to shower and change clothes.
"Alright, alright. Then I'll go to the bathroom first. Please watch over them, lest they stop at all from moving.".
I went to the back, to the bathroom. Tohka who saw my departure smiled then looked back at the soldiers and watched them.
I left like my goal earlier, then went back to training those soldiers as hard as a female knight. I have to take Nakano back to my side and the others. The universe needs it!
