A/n: My gallery was full so unfortunately I was not able to place any gifs or images to spice up the reading experience. I'll empty my uh, collection so the next chapter will have some.

Hopefully the length of this chapter will make up for it.

Training Hall

Once the group had entered the hall, the two nobles, prince and princess, Lady Lalatina and Walther, the adopted son of Alderp and the daughter of Lord Ignis, had grabbed their wooden swords, and sparred.

The four servants/friends of the Crusader's made small talk as their Lady "sparred."

Y/n: So anyways, that's how I stopped the weird egg-shaped man from taking over Apple and Best buy. The dude had problems.

Kazuma: Wait, they have Apple too, in other worlds?

Y/n: Apparently?

A loud smack rung out as Walter swung.

Y/n: It turns out Steve Jobs is a universal constant, and I still don't understand why.

Nozomi: You've lived the craziest childhood.

Another smack, but this time, Lalatina had raised her sword up to block it. (1% chance).

Y/n: Don't I know it, at least I'll have some awesome stories to tell my kids if I ever have any in the future.

Because his focus was on his Lady's match, the teen hero failed to notice Nozomi's face was bright red.

Nozomi: *smiling* Kids, huh?

Meanwhile, Kazuma winced at some of the sounds that reverberated each time the two nobles traded blows (sort of, Darkness just let herself get hit and didn't hit back at all.)

Aqua: Do your best, Darkness!

Kazuma: She's totally doing this on purpose.

The expression on Walther's face turned into one of concern. Which is a natural response.

Walther: I-Isn't this enough?! Why won't you concede defeat?!

Breathing hard and smiling with a flushed expression, Darkness had her face covered in sweat and her body seeming battered.

Darkness: What's wrong?! *huff* *huff*

As she breathed in and out, her body, how should I put it... "swayed".

Darkness: We're just getting started!

She pointed the tip of the sword at him.

Darkness: Show me the strength of your resolve! *breathing heavily*

Kazuma crossed his arms and stared in clear disapproval.

Kazuma: He's got the clear advantage... and yet...

Y/n: She's clever. Using the excuse of testing Walter as a way to get her rocks off and at the same time, making him see who she really is.

Nozomi: ...!

The dragon girl was awestruck by Y/n's keen sense of perception.

Clutter

The noble who was clearly winning, dropped his sword at the sight of Darkness's strength.

Walther: I concede. My skill with the sword may be greater, but your will is stronger.

Walther: I can no longer strike you. You are a truly strong person. *smiles*

This action only served to anger Darkness.

Darkness: You spineless fool!

She turned to face the servants.
