Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

"With the bright moon in the sky, a person practicing swordsmanship on the beach, how romantic."

Rogge strolled leisurely toward the Holy Sword Maiden.

He curiously looked at the Sword Maiden and noticed that she was no longer wearing the academy's standard swimsuit tonight, but a swimsuit she had bought while shopping with Julie and the others.

"Isn't it a bit too late to put on your new swimsuit now?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Fiora paused and glanced at Rogge.

He continued swinging his sword.

"I can't sleep."

It's unclear whether she was referring to Roger or herself.

Rogge didn't care, casually picked up a wooden stick from the side, and went to stand directly opposite the Sword Maiden.

"It's no fun wielding a sword alone... Speaking of which, I haven't practiced swordsmanship in a long time since I came to the seaside. Let's have a long-awaited duel."

"..."

The Fiora remained silent, silently assuming a fighting stance towards Rogge.

Roger curled the corners of his mouth and assumed a basic swordsmanship starting stance.

"I've lost count of how many times we've faced off, and you still haven't beaten me!"

"Two hundred and fifty-six times."

Snapped!

The two wooden sticks struck each other.

Fiora displayed flawless swordsmanship as always.

Rogge, as always, used the most basic swordsmanship to parry and maneuver against him.

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap...

Although they were using wooden sticks, the clash between the two was extremely intense, as if they were fighting with real swords and spears, creating gusts of wind.

Dazzling.

The two sides exchanged blows for over a hundred rounds.

Finally, it seems that Rogge's sinister plan to use emotions to entangle Fiora has taken effect.

The Fiora, barefoot on the soft sand, tripped and fell without noticing.

"puff."

It's rare to see Fiora act so clumsy.

Roger couldn't help but laugh.

He quickly stepped forward to help the swordswoman who was falling forward.

However, at that moment...

"There's a flaw."

The Fiora's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he tackled Roger to the ground to Roger's surprise.

thump.

Sword Maiden straddled him, leaning over Rogue, her long hair hanging down, the wooden stick in her hand pressed diagonally against Rogue's throat.

"I won."

She said.

Rogge stared blankly at the Sword Maiden's face, so close to his own, bathed in moonlight.

"Wow, you've actually learned to play tricks on me! Using such petty tricks to deceive my feelings."

"I won."

"This clearly doesn't count, does it? Fiora, how dare you use my moves against me?"

"I won."

"Fine, fine, so you're willing to degenerate just to win, even if it means becoming a repeat student..."

Seeing the Sword Princess's expressionless face, which showed a relentless determination to win, Rogge couldn't help but chuckle.

"Speaking of which, were you smiling when you ambushed me just now?"

"……No."

"You hesitated, absolutely! I saw it just now, you were definitely secretly laughing!"

"no."

"If you laughed, you laughed. Why are you so unwilling to admit it?"

"no."

"Did you tighten your grip on the sword... Fine, fine, you win this time, no, no."

The competitive Rogge eventually raised his hands in surrender.

Fiora was finally satisfied with her first win.

She loosened her grip on the wooden stick, sat up, and got off Roger.

He then reached out his hand to Rogge.

Rogge smiled, took Fiora's hand, and stood up.

"Congratulations on breaking the zero-point barrier, Fiora. It's now 255-1, so as agreed, what do you want me to do?"

A bet's a bet, and Rogue had been bullying Fiora for so long; finally, she got her chance.

"..."

Fiora pondered for a long time after hearing this.

shook his head.

"have no idea."

"If you don't know, just remember it for now, and we'll talk about it when you think of it."

Roger shrugged indifferently.

"Um."

Fiora nodded.

After saying this, the two, having nothing else to do, simply sat down on the spot, listened to the sound of the waves, and stared blankly at the sea.

Until a voice came from the doorway.

"What are you doing there?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Princess Lingsa walking out of the resort with a puzzled expression.

"That applies to you too, doesn't it?"

Rogge glanced up and down at Princess Lingsa and said casually.

"It's so late at night, why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing out here?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go out for a walk to clear my head. It's none of your business. Humph!"

Princess Lingsa sat down next to Rogge.

Roger looked at Princess Lingsa thoughtfully, then suddenly grinned mischievously.

"Why are you standing so close? I think you were frightened by the previous test of courage, and today you heard about the hot spring ghost, so you can't sleep, right?"

"Huh? Huh? You think I'd be so scared about something like this that I can't sleep?"

Princess Lingsa's reaction was extremely exaggerated and intense.

As if her secret had been exposed, her face quickly turned red.

"Ha! Ha... I'm not a child, how could I be so scared that I can't sleep even under the covers because of something like this...?"

"Hmph! Ha... I just... just wanted to use the restroom, but I heard people talking outside, so... so I came out to check! Ha..."

"You've already confessed, you idiot."

Roger shook his head.

After a moment's consideration, he gave Princess Lingsha a meaningful smile and said casually.

"Actually, I also saw that strange figure in the hot spring that night."

"Huh?"

Princess Lingsha stared wide-eyed and turned her head to look at her in disbelief.

Roger chuckled inwardly, then embellished his own experience as he told Princess Lingsa his tale.

It simply incorporates elements of horror and suspense, combining elements of a royal mansion with a touch of thriller and horror.

The Holy Swordswoman listened calmly to Rogge's story.

As for Princess Lingsa...

"Please, please stop... I beg you..."

She clung tightly to Roger's arm, trembling with fear.

I almost cried.

Seeing that the time was right, Roger smiled and tapped Princess Lingsa on the head.

"Idiot! It was all a lie!"

"W-what?!"

"There aren't that many vengeful ghosts and spirits! Even if there were, Sword Maiden is right next to you. The moment she draws her Holy Sword, the vengeful ghosts will cry for their parents and be even more terrified than you are."

"You...you actually lied to me with something like this! You stinky Roger! You big bad guy! Humph! Ha!!!"

Princess Lingsha could no longer hold back and stretched out her claws to scratch someone.

Of course, Roger wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; he immediately jumped up and fled towards the sea.

Princess Lingsa, in a fit of anger, chased after her.

The two chased and played for a long time, ending with Princess Lingsa exhausted.

Returning to where she had been sitting, Fiora had already lay down and was staring blankly at the moon.

"While I was being chased, you were slacking off here. You really know how to enjoy yourself."

Rogge made a sarcastic remark about Fiora.

But her body betrayed her, and she followed Princess Lingsha's example and lay down as well.

The three of them lay sprawled on the beach, completely disregarding their appearance.

Let's admire the moon together.

A gentle evening breeze was blowing.

The soft sound of the waves echoed in my ears.

The soft moonlight bathed me, creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.

"The moon is so beautiful tonight."

Princess Lingsa whispered.

"Um."

Fiora nodded.

"Moonlight symbolizes tranquility and longing, as well as mystery and illusion."

"Rog said slowly."

He spoke eloquently, vividly recounting the origin and allure of moonlight to Lingsa and Sword Maiden.

The two were so engrossed in the world that Rogge had created that they couldn't help but become absorbed in it.

The matter was difficult to quell for a long time.

Coming to her senses, Lingsa looked at Roger with curiosity.

"Rogge, you're clearly just a lowly mortal, so why do you know so much?"

"Of course it's because I'm a top student; an idiot like you wouldn't understand."

"You called me an idiot again! I'm not an idiot! Humph!"

So the two started attacking each other again.

Sword Maiden watched as Rogue and Princess Lingsa frolicked around, then thought for a moment and picked up a wooden stick to tap Rogue on the head.

Snapped!

"Please! Playing around is fine, but are you really trying to kill me by hitting me so hard?"

"Well done! Those bastards should be smashed on the head and turned into idiots. Humph!"

"I'll knock."

Snapped!

……

The red sun slowly rises from the sea.

Bathed in the glow of the morning sun, the group began their journey home.

The second semester ended amidst laughter and joy.
