The following day, Eins and his brother practiced again early in the morning.

 

Eins: "Behold! My magnificent swordsmanship!"

 

Eins enthusiastically flourished his sword.

 

[CHOICE]

• Amazing! (SUN)

• Look out! (MOON)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As he flourished the sword, Eins’ younger brother hit the tip with a *clang*.

 

OO: "Ah..."

 

The sword fell from Eins’ hand.

 

Eins' Brother: "…are you taking this seriously?"

 

Eins: "I’m always serious!"

 

Eins' Brother: "Even though you haven’t improved?"

 

Eins: "You just don’t get it! I haven’t shown you how serious I can be! If I came at you for real, it’d be over before I brought out my killer technique!"

 

Eins' Brother: "…the one with the really long name?"

 

Eins: "That’s right! The Eins Miracle Super Number One!"

 

Eins' Brother: "It’s just a simple downward strike."

 

Heaving a great sigh, the younger brother readied his sword.

 

Eins is… Well...

 

He was making jokes, but his forehead glistened with sweat.

 

He’s really trying hard…maybe there’s something I can do to help. I know!

 

Leaving Eins and his brother, I headed to the kitchen.

 

I asked the castle staff if I could use the work space, then rolled up my sleeves and began to make lemonade.

 

...

 

......

 

OO: "Alright, that should do it."

 

I wonder if Eins will like it…

 

Eins: "What are you making OO?"

 

OO: "E-Eins!"

 

I didn't know how long he’d been standing there peering over my shoulder.

 

OO: "It’s lemonade. I thought it’d be the perfect thing for after your workout."

 

Eins: "Can I have some?"

 

OO: "Sure."

 

Eins drank the lemonade in big gulps.

 

My eyes couldn’t help looking at his prominent Adam’s apple.

 

For some reason, its movement made my heart race a little.

 

Eins: "This is great! My fatigue vanished in an instant!"

 

[CHOICE]

• I'm glad (SUN)

• Really? (MOON)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eins: "Thanks OO!"

 

He patted my head with his large hand.

 

OO: "...!"

 

Eins: "I’m really glad I met you!"

 

OO: "Y-you’re exaggerating…"

 

Eins: "Am I?"

 

A warmth spread through my chest as he smiled at me.

 

What is this…? Something's been squirming in my chest for a while now.

 

As the days passed, Eins’ friends joined in and things became quite lively.

 

It’s almost time for the competition…

 

Compared to how he had been at first, Eins had become even more enthusiastic.

 

I continued to watch him.

 

OO: "I brought refreshments."

 

Since I couldn’t join in the practice, I had taken to making lemonade every day.

 

Friend A: "Thanks, OO!"

 

Friend B: "I look forward to this every day!"

 

OO: "It’s worth making when you say that."

 

Eins: "Hey!"

 

From behind, Eins wrapped his long arm around my shoulders.

 

Eins: "Don’t go getting the wrong idea! OO is here to support me. You guys are just extras."

 

Everyone started protesting.

 

Eins’ hand is…hot…

 

I was very conscious of the strong arm and hand that held me.

 

Friend B: "You can’t just go around saying that!"

 

Eins: "It’s the truth! Isn’t that right OO?"

 

OO: "Ah..."

 

Eins peered at my face.

 

If he sees me now…he’ll notice how red my face is…

 

I turned my head away. Eins’ eyes widened in surprise and he removed his hand.

 

Eins: "M-my bad! I can’t just go around casually touching a girl like that!"

 

I wondered if my blush was infectious because Eins’ face also began to turn bright red.

 

Friend A: "See look, you’re causing her trouble."

 

Eins: "S-shut up!"

 

I felt a little lonely with his warmth gone.

 

Then in the blink of an eye, the day of the sporting competition arrived.
