Chapter 511: Her Story
Once on deck, I sat down on a bench set up for resting while Fistina sat down next to me, keeping a perfect distance.
“It feels good.”
The deck of Fugaku, a large ship, is at quite a high altitude, so a good breeze blows even when we are stopped. It depends on the climate and the season, but it is often a bit sweltering and hot inside the ship, so the natural breeze feels cool and pleasant.
“Speaking of which, that was a close call, the results of the beauty pageant.”
Fistina responds to my topic with a slightly stiff smile.
“No, I originally thought it was impossible for me to win the contest.”
“Rafishal is too irregular to begin with, in my opinion.”
Fistina laughed elegantly and after a short pause, her expression turned serious. Then she began her story.
“Yuta-san, where will the Iron Knights go from here……?”
I was a little puzzled by the abrupt question.
“I don’t know, I guess it depends on the work.”
“The Iron Knights have grown a lot but great power attracts great enemies. Depending on where we go, I have a feeling that we may face powerful enemies that we have never met before.”
“Is that a prophecy or something?”
“No, just a woman’s intuition.”
“By the way, which way do you think is the best place to find this foe?”
“I sense something ominous in the north.”
“I think it’s a big country, and I know it’s a powerful enemy, but we’ve fought it many times before…….Well, either way, it depends on the job. If I have to, I’ll head north, and if I have to fight a powerful enemy, I’ll fight.”
“Yuta still doesn’t get it! Even Yuta-san doesn’t know if he can win!”
For a mere hunch, she seems to have a concrete image of the opponent so Fistina spoke passionately as if she knew the opponent.
“It doesn’t matter what kind of opponent it is. If we have to fight, we fight, if we don’t have to fight, we don’t fight. If I can’t win the fight, I’ll run away.”
“You can’t run away. If you can’t win, no one can win…….Yuta, please become stronger. Grow stronger and……stronger, so strong that you can beat any enemy.”
I don’t know what her intentions were in telling me this, but it didn’t sound like she was joking. I have no objection to becoming strong enough to protect my friends. I promised her this.
“I understand. I will be stronger than anyone else.”
Hearing this, Fistina seemed relieved and smiled. I wondered why she was so concerned about my growth, and I felt a little uncomfortable with her unusual words and actions.
