The clash of swords against swords, a high-pitched metallic clang.
In the courtyard of His Highness Lily's mansion, His Highness Lily and Taura are confronting each other.
They are fiercely exchanging swords in front of a small artificial fountain-like pond. The sound of the water drowned out the sound of their swords clashing with each other.
It was the day after I had treated the sword of Her Highness Lily to make it emit a purifying light. I gave the sword to Her Highness first thing in the morning, but to my surprise, Her Highness wanted to test its usability.
I wanted to go to the immediately before he did so, but I was stopped from leaving because I didn't have all the necessary documents.
Apparently, in order to distribute relief supplies to various places, His Highness Lily had to come to the territory of Soto and apply to the department in charge at the capital.
His Highness Lily told me that he had submitted the application last night and that he should receive the permission by the end of the day.
I understand that this is quite fast for bureaucratic work compared to our country. However, in this emergency situation, it is very frustrating.
So I had no choice but to wait until the documents were sent to me by the communication device.
Her Highness Lily wanted to have a mock battle with Taura, and I was sent to explain to her the new functions of the sword.
Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little curious. I wonder what happens when two swords clad in jo-kari cut each other.
First of all, as a preliminary test, both Lily and Taura seem to have just struck each other with their swords as they are.
Although they have not changed the center of gravity of their swords, even the slightest change seems to bother them, and they continue to strike each other, occasionally looking at each other, stopping to check their movements.
Ah... Is His Highness Lily checking not only the swords, but also the belt I made for her around her waist to see if it affects her movements?
As I was thinking about this while leisurely watching the two of them move, I noticed that His Highness Lily's belt with the magical stone holder shifted slightly as she swung her sword.
I, who have no martial arts training, would never have noticed this before.
However, I call out to them just as they stop moving, unaware of such a change in myself. I told them that I would adjust the belt on the spot and ask them to lend it to me.
"Well. I can't believe that Mr. Rust is so generous with his after-sales care! I'm so happy."
I respond with a wry smile. I don't know why I went to such lengths, but I guess it's in my nature to be precise when it comes to alchemy.
After finishing the adjustment quickly, I return it to Her Highness Lily.
"My God! It's amazing. It's as perfect as if I had measured it!"
For some reason, Taura's eyes seemed to grow cold at the comment of Her Highness Lily.
Soto is very humid, perhaps because of the abundance of water in the country, or perhaps because of the pond in the courtyard. Sweat is pouring down my face.
I hurry to open my mouth.
"Well, then, I guess it's time to activate the Johkou.
"Jokou?"
"Oh. All Taura has to do is say the name of the sword. Lily, you can find the magic stone for activation next to the belt, right there. Touch it and it will activate.
I'll tell them each.
His Highness Lily and Taura each raise their lowered swords again.
"Hinageshi!
Taura's voice murmured.
His Highness Lily gently touches the belt with one hand.
A blue-white light begins to cover their swords.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
