[ Today is really good day, huh]- Erza
I, Zen=Helix, were at my wits end on what should I said until Erza-sama finally started the conversation before .
[Eh, ah... yes!]-Zen
Without much thought of what did she really ant about that, I just replied in reflect.
And now, that I had already answered that I ended up wrecking my brain to thought of what did she actually ant with those word.
[ In day like this, we can pleasantly hunt monster] -Erza
While I still thinking of the aning from her previous word, she already continued the conversation. Slightly bewildered, I forcefully made my brain calm down and carefully thinking so that I didnt answered with a wrong answer.
[... monster subjugation, it is?]- Zen
Soone low like wouldnt understood the reason why she asked that question for sure, but it seems that Erza-sama tried to said to that today was a good day for subjugate so monster.
[ Yes, monster subjugation. In clear day like this, dont you sohow felt like the joint on your armor move smoothly than before, your blade sharper, and its sharpness beco profound than usual]
[ Sharper, profound... sohow, I understand that feeling] Zen
Hearing those word, I, soone who have the sa occupation as her sohow understood what she ant.
Realized about that reason why she told that, I move my gaze toward the outside of the window, indeed, todays weather was clear.
Sunlight that wasnt too strong, and breeze wind. The air wasnt dry at all, but still, it wasnt moist like when raining.
For a leather and tal that usually used for armour, todays weather was really good that it seems it will increase the function of those things.
Just as Erza-sama had said, in a good day like today, the armour will move smoothly and leather that connect those tal felt flexible.
[... I am from heavy unit, so I use two handed sword to slice my enemy into two, what about Zen-dono, what is your main weapon?] Erza
The next question that Erza-sama throw at was my main weapon... the weapon that I mainly use.
At that point, I realized what Erza-sama tried to convey to .
She tried to relieve my nervousness.
Our conversation up till this point, I had sense of deja vu toward it.
That was of course, all of the question that Erza-sama throw at , were the exact sa question that my senior and the colleagues asked to the first ti I entered the light weapon unit.
To a knight that you didnt really close with, or perhaps when you tried to have a conversation with a fellow knight, this flow was the template.
Probably, Erza-sama realized my nervousness, and so, though I said it by myself... she started to started this aningless topic.
Though, she was soone who are the higher ranking in both family status and the rank on the chivalric order, but having soone who was younger than to look for , made could felt my cheeks start to slightly reddened in sha.
[ A slightly long one handed sword, and a slightly small buckler, I guess. I got told a lot that its too common of a weapon, but I think this style is what fit the most...]-Zen
So that she will not sense my embarrassnt, I replied her question about my main weapon.
No, its Erza-sama in front of , she shouldve already realized the sha that I felt in my heart.
But even so, Erza-sama who act like she didnt realized it just nod her head.
Aah, I showed such uncool side of .
As the thing beco more embarrassing for , I scratch my cheeks, while felt slightly hopeless, but it did relieve my nervousness.
[Umm, is it alright if I asked sothing as well?] Zen
Around the ti when I felt that my cheeks was not red anymore, finally I was able to ask Erza-sama a question,too.
Hearing my word, Erza-samas reddish black eyes looked at my face and urging to continue my word.
[Why, did Erza-sama choose to beco knight... even though youre a noble lady, you choose to drag your body into battlefield,why?]- Zen
The thing that I asked her was sothing that had been weighting my mind all this ti.
Why, soone who had a high perigee like duchesss daughter like her, enter the chivalric order, trained so hard until she reached the status as the vice captain and devote herself to battle.
I was sure, not only the one who were curious of this thing.
Thought it would be rude for to said this, but for soone of high birth like Erza-sama to strive the road of knight, generally people would call her as soone who deviate from her true road.
Hearing my word, Erza-sama looked up toward the ceiling, seems troubled... not, she wasnt troubled at all, she looked like she was reminiscing the past. After so mont passed she finally start to state the reason to .
[... Thats, because its cool]
[Cool? What, did you an... ]
Hearing her answer that was outside my expectation, I ended up asked back.
Surely, she will tell what did she actually ant by cool
[ Just as it is. When I was a small, I saw the knights mock battle at the countrys national foundation day... at that place, I getting captivated by a female knight who wore black armour with double handed sword. While she was a woman, she wore a full plate armor on her body, I felt her figure who swing that big sword as big as her body is really beautiful]- Erza
Erza-samas usual clear voice beco softer than usual, she sound like soone who was reminiscing the mont when they were praised by their parents as a kid, as she said that to .
Erza-sama kept a firm, solid expression all this ti, but perhaps it was just my imagination, but slightly, just slightly, I felt like I saw really kind smile floated on her face.
[And so, I want to beco like that, I started to thought that I wanted to beco soone like her]
Hearing all of her word, deep inside my heart, I felt so unspoken nostalgic feeling brought back up to my mind.
When we all grow up, many people worked as a knight with the motive; for their family, future, gains, country, and many other. But, I felt that all of the people who strive to beco knight for sure originally had the sa reason.
That was right, just like what Erza-sama had said. It was the feeling of cool and I want to beco like that
A pure admiration.
... However, Erza-samas environnt wasnt really the normal one, if she wanted to beco a knight under such reason.
If, she was soone who born as normal civilian, or perhaps a noble that had pedigree on military, then there would be no problem for her.
But she was the granddaughter of the sorcerer king; the daughter of the governor of the kingdom.
[... Wouldnt that be sothing so hard for you? I think, there should be many problem will happen]- Zen
[ Indeed, there are lot of problem happened. To reach the thing that I aim for, I have been passed through a lot of trial and error, it felt like thousand people already told to stop, and give up]
As I expected, so it was true.
Even if it was not Erza-sama, for woman to aim to beco a female knight, even if this place wes Azolias, would still be a thorny road.
Of course, she surely received more word of objection more than I had imagined.
But, Erza-sama did beco a knight.
Surely...
[But even so, I didnt gave up, and reached the place that I am right now. Thats why, only proud that I felt, not sha, regret, not all of that!]- Erza
The gaze full of passion that lies deep inside her eyes, that even made thought of it as heated up iron, were reflected into my eyes.
Aah, just like I thought, I wasnt wrong. Erza-sama, without a doubt... the true knight.
Its because she is a woman, she couldnt realized it by herself.
Probably, even if Erza-sama had been a male, I would still attracted to her.
Its because she was Erza-sama, that I was chard by her.
[... Erza-sama, as I thought, youre my ideal woman. Truly my ideal one, the one that co in my dream that we are not balanced to be together. But precisely because of that, my feeling toward you, I cant hold it anymore]- Zen
Now, I cannot hold these feeling that I had inside my heart.
[Erza-sama. Please, will you marry ?]- Zen
The room wrapped in silence.
No, probably only several second had passed, but for , it felt like several years had passed for waiting for Erza-samas answer.
[Zen-dono]
[Yes]
[Please cease the honorific, while we are from different unit, were both the sa knight... also, we will be wife and husband in the future, right?]- Erza
Erza-sama who rarely change her expression, but, who probably hallucinate, was able to saw it clearly.
The kind smile that she had toward .
... This person, Erza-sama, how far she tried to charm even more before she satisfied.
