Mr. Crown looked me straight in the eye and told me to "grow up".

(...... Maybe he's right.)

　Realistically, the chances of us going to the Empire and saving the Chairman are slim.
　In reality, the chances of us going to the Empire and saving the Chairman are slim to none.

　After all, the enemy this time is the Holy Roneria Empire.
　It's an evil superpower that teamed up with the demon tribe, destroyed the Duchy of Theresia, and attacked the entire world.

　It's going to be extremely difficult for us students to get the president back.

(And if we fail, ...... will surely die.)

　As Mr. Crown said, we should grit our teeth and endure.
　We should save our strength for the future and prepare for the chance to fight back that will come.

　Yes, this is surely the right decision for an adult.

　But .......

But I still want to save the chairman. ......

　I want the "now".

　I want the unstable "now" rather than the certain "future".

　I'm not looking for a future without the Chairman, but for a today where I can laugh with her.

"-Mr. Crown, please. Please let me see Rain at ......!

　I said and bowed my head deeply.

　A silence fell over the branch manager's office, and the hands of the clock ticked quietly.

I'm not sure if it's ...... this kind of honesty and purity that has struck a chord with Lizzy.

　I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure what to say.

　"Hey, Mr. Allen.

"A ...... game?

"Yes. If you win, I'll take you to the dungeon where Rain is. And of course, I won't stop you from going to the Empire.

Are you sure?

Yes, I wouldn't lie. But if I win, you'll have to give up going to the Empire right now. --What are you going to do? Do you accept this challenge?

　And so, with a serious expression on his face, he forced us to make a choice.

(Game, or ......)

　Mr. Crown didn't want to talk about the contents of the game.
　It's safe to say that there are some rules that disadvantage us.

(But still, ...... this is a chance of a lifetime!

　Currently, all we have is Rain's information.
　If we lose this opportunity, the road to the Empire will be closed.

　But on the other hand, if we can win the game with Mr. Crown, we can open the way at once!

I understand. I'll accept that match.

　And the moment I nodded my head.

"Yes, sir. Then, let's get started. Repel the Lonely Crown.

　He suddenly deployed his soul armor.

I'm not sure what to say.　What are you ......?

　At the same time, a tremendous 'weight' fell on my whole body.

I told you so. We're going to play a little game.

　He moves from the couch and stands at the far end of the room.

"The rules are simple. The rules are simple. If you can move me even one step from this spot, you win. If you can't, I win. However, the use of darkness is prohibited. So let the game begin.

　Crown-san smiled wickedly and announced the start of the game.

(I see: .......) (I see. ......) So you want me to beat his soulsuit with pure physical ability alone, without the darkness.

　As I suspected, he was not going to let me see Rain so easily.

　I slowly got up from the couch and took a step forward.

(This is really tough. ......)

　My whole body felt as if it were made of lead, and I had trouble even lifting my legs a little.

Allen, are you okay?

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

　You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

　Don Golug - I believe he used to be an instructor at the Orestes branch of the Holy Knight Association.
　I'm sure you've heard of it, but I'm not sure if you have.

I'm sure you've heard of it. I'm not sure what you're doing now, Don. ......

　Mr. Crown gave a theatrical, distant look.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to find a way to find out more about it.

　He then thrusts forward a simple black and white straight sword.

I'm not sure what to make of it. In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

　When Crown mentioned his ability, he said.

I'm sure you've heard of it.



It's impossible to even stand properly in such a state. ......?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to do.

　In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it to make a lot of money.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

Yes, I want to. ......!

　And so began the serious contest between me and Mr. Crown.
