Brid looked down slightly, her expression shocked.

...bigger than mine?

"Hello, hello, good evening. Long time no see, Hill."

"——Ah, it's Brid, Sister Brid. She's Hill's neighbor."

Hill kept smiling, his voice slightly lowered.

He said his name twice.

It's like confirming something.

"Uh..."

Brid was stunned for a moment.

I don’t know what to say.

Thinking back, the last time I saw Hill was three years ago.

"It's so late, what's the matter, Sister Brid~"

"Um, is Shilok back? I bought some snacks. Ah, if you don't mind, you can eat together. They are delicious."

"Wow~Thank you, Sister Brid! But..."

Hill didn't answer, and smiled innocently:

"What does it have to do with you whether my brother comes back or not?"

"He was injured. As a neighbor and classmate, it's okay for me to show some concern."

“…Oh, I see.”

Hill clasped his hands together cutely and nodded repeatedly.

"Hill, you know that Sister Brid has already dumped her brother. You two are just ordinary neighbors. Is it necessary to come and give a gift so late?"

"what...."

These words made Brid realize it later.

There's no need to come here so late at night.

Or maybe the relationship between me and Shilok is not that good?

No, that's not right. I just care about him out of kindness.

That's it.

There's nothing weird about it.

Absolutely not.

"That's all in the past. Shilok had already taken me as his master before. Now, he and I... yes, we are in a teacher-student relationship."

"Even so, we can't just write off the past, right? Didn't you turn your brother into a NEET who stays at home all the time? Although Hill doesn't care."

"You can't say that. When Shilok confessed his feelings to me before, I just told him my feelings honestly. It was his own choice for him to become like that. It has nothing to do with me."

“Oh…”

You are quite capable.

Hill's expression darkened.

Although this woman is a bit dull, she is very serious and sensible in some aspects.

Besides, Hill had to admit it.

The previous Hellock really brought it upon himself, so the current brother is better...

"Ahem, anyway..."

Brid brought the subject back on track.

"What happened in the past is in the past. There's no point dwelling on it. Today, Hellux fought with a much higher level person, and I want to see how he is doing. I don't have any good healing items, but I can give him a little massage to help reduce the pain..."

Hill tilted his head cutely and smiled energetically:

"Hill refuses."

--------

On the other side, on the first floor (? ) area, Maple Garden.

"coming."

Shilok's eyes fixed.

Maple Court Knight stomped his heavy foot armor hard on the ground as usual.

The figure disappeared suddenly, but actually it did not disappear, it was just that the speed was too fast and it got out of Shilok's sight in an instant.

When the Maple Court Knight appeared again, he was already very close to Hillock.

"I won't fall for the same trick twice!"

Having said that, Hillock has been killed 16 times by this move.

But these near-death experiences will not be in vain.

Hillock's attention was not on the long-handled knife that was approaching him.

But it was placed on...the eyes of the Maple Garden Knight.

Sure enough, it can be seen that the sight speed is faster than the attack speed.

This move is aimed at... the neck!

There is a huge gap in realm strength, so it is definitely impossible to compete on reaction, but it is still possible to try to predict.

So the moment the Maple Court Knight disappeared from his sight, Shilok immediately turned his head to the right, avoiding the attack from the left that was aimed accurately at the aorta.

This is what Shilok realized when he was extremely close to death.

Predict the attack point by sight.

The prerequisite is that the opponent is an enemy with "eyes" and uses the "eye" function.

However, it doesn't matter where the Maple Court Knight strikes, because his swift and sharp high-damage long-handled sword can directly cripple anyone who is hit.

However, no matter how sharp a long-handled knife is, it will only be lethal when it touches the target.

What's the difference between a weapon that can't hit people and a toy?

Looking at the Maple Garden Knight who seemed to pause for a moment because the long-handled knife missed his neck, Shilok couldn't help but smile with emotion.

"Even if there is a big gap in strength, it can be corrected through experience..."

Shilok didn't finish his words.

He heard the whistling wind.

That was the sound of a sharp weapon tearing through the air.

The rapier did indeed miss, but the Maple Court Knight did not change his moves or retreat to reorganize the attack.

Maple Court Knight simply loosened his five fingers.

Let the long-handled knife fall.

Maple Court Knight took another step forward.

Shilok was one step closer to death.

"Gan."

Before he could utter the greeting, Maple Court Knight's selfless charge accurately exploded in Hellock's chest, shattering his bones.

——If the weapon attack misses, there is a chance that you will choose to attack with bare hands——

Shilok took note of it secretly.

When consciousness disappears.

A powerful pulling force pulled back Shilok's soul that was heading to the underworld.

"Puff! Cough!"

The water poured into his mouth, and Shilok flapped his wings twice, standing up straight in the lake.

"Cas, your timing is getting better and better."

"Well, after all, I've pulled it so many times..."

Shilok was soaked, while only the lower half of Cass's body was wet, while his upper body was dry and refreshed.

Damn, is this how the protagonist is treated?

After Cass tried 13 times, he successfully defeated the Maple Knight once.

So he gave more time to Shilok to practice.

Shilok felt jealous but also relieved.

The genius adaptability and combat instincts displayed by Cass were even more powerful than in the game.

He is also rapidly becoming more proficient in using the talent "Friction".

Huge potential for growth.

So the rest of the time was spent helping Shilok pull the rope.

The current score between Hillock and Maple Court Knight is——

24:0

Hillock is 0.

Never won once.

fracture.

Facial disfigurement.

Liver perforation.

Deformed neck.

Wait, I have taken all the damage.

The red ground with a radius of 2 meters under the feet of Maple Garden Knight was a mixture of Shilok's blood and body tissue.

"Sirok, try again tomorrow..."

"No, come again! I must win once! Cas, what time is it now?"

"...9:32. You lasted 17 seconds this time, which is pretty good."

"Very good, I'll continue then."

Shilok's clothes were so tattered that he looked like a tramp or some avant-garde art.

"I'm here!"

Wading through the water, Hellock ran towards the Maple Court Knight who was facing away.

"Really, like a little kid, you refuse to admit defeat..."

Cass gripped the rope tightly, concentrating on looking at Shilok, who had fought with monsters countless times.

He licked his dry lips and suppressed the slightly twisted thoughts in his heart.

"...Calm down...I absolutely cannot miss the opportunity. Yes, I am just worried. I don't have any evil intentions."

This safety rope connects himself and Shilok.

Shilok's life and death is in his own hands.

Whenever Shilok is in desperate situation, pull him back.

It feels like I have other people's lives in my hands...

Cass didn't want to admit it, but his mood wouldn't deceive him.

A pleasant feeling.
