《Infinite Swordsman and His Cafe》Chapter 27: Invitation to Duel
Advertisement
Kojiro appears in front of Hassan of Hundred faces or at least one of them. He swung down his sword and successfully killed one of them in a single slash. Hassan sees his/her other self die, and they begin to charge at him at once.
Kojiro dodges the incoming dagger from the left and does a horizontal slash at the Assassin in front of him before dodging a knife once again. He looks up and sees a few Assassin on the roof, throwing their dagger at him while the others fight him in close combat.
He jumps high in the air and activates his rune under his feet so he can 'fly' and then charges at Assassin on the roof. The other Hassan tries to hold him down, but with his 'Hien' activated, he quickly kills the other Assassin.
He kills the Assassin from the west side of the caster to the east. He looks at the remaining Assassin in the ground, and he can see there are at least 20 more left. He raises his sword and then takes a stance from the roof and says.
"Hiken - Tsubame Mai"
He appears in front of one of Hassan, and with a quick slash, he kills the first victim of his technique. He continues to do this by appearing in front or back of his victim and killing them in a single slash. A few seconds later, he sees that all of the Assassin is gone.
After a quick check using his Magic Sense, he nods at himself as he can't feel any Assassin left in the area. He then walked toward the other that was still drinking his wine and deactivated his bound field.
"Sorry for the wait."
As he says that, he sees Iskandar standing up before summoning his sword and then slashing the air. Suddenly a chariot appeared in front of Iskandar.
"Oh? Leaving already?"
"This is a banquet for a King. I have enough hearing the rambling of a little girl for today."
Kojiro then sees Iskandar leaving them with his chariot that disappears into the sky. He looked at Gilgamesh, who was also standing up and looked at him.

"Gilgamesh"
"Oh? What do you want, Mongrel?"
"I hear you want to fight me?"
"Of course, You are the one that interests me. I can't see you."
"Sha Naqba Imuru?"
"Oh, you know about it?"
"Of course, but I don't know if in this class you have that Noble Phantasm."
"Hahaha, This is THE vision of a king. Of course, I still have it."
"I see, so what is so interesting about me?"
"I can't see you. I can't see your future, your past, or even your identity. For a mongrel, you have an exceptional skill."
It Looks like even Sha Naqba Imuru cannot penetrate his Man of Mystery. He is grateful for it, but at the same time, it can become a problem, he just knows it.
"Go to the harbor where we met last time. I will fight you there."
"You dare to order me around, Mongrel?!?"
"Take it, or I leave to the other world."
He looked Gilgamesh right in the eyes. He can see his red eyes holding up his fury at Kojiro, ordering Gilgamesh. After a few seconds of looking at each other, Gilgamesh sneers at him and says.
"Very well. Prepare yourself, Mongrel."
Kojiro then sees Gilgamesh disappear in a Golden light. Seeing Gilgamesh go, he gets up and creates a portal to his shack in the Ryuudou Temple.
"Irisviel Von Einzbern, I'm sorry coming here uninvited, and See you later."
As he walks through the portal, he sees Sakura still sleeping on the bed. He decides that he doesn't want to disturb her, so Kojiro sleeps on the floor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning he wakes up and then goes to the nearest lake then begins to take a bath. After cleaning himself, Kojiro begins to create some cloth for Sakura and then enchant it with some Anti-Magic Property and Forcefield that will cover her entire body. With Sakura's clothing finished, he walks to the lake once more and takes some clean water for Sakura.
He then begins to cook some food for their breakfast. He decided to make some western breakfast, like bacon, egg, and toasted bread with juice as the drink.

"N-Nii-chan?"
He looked at Sakura rubbing her eyes while sitting on the bed.
"I'm here, Sakura."
Sakura then walked toward him and before saying.
"Can I help Nii-chan?"
"Of course."
He then picks up a piece of wood on the floor for Sakura so she can reach everything in the kitchen. Kojiro then teaches Sakura how to chop some vegetables and how to hold a knife correctly. While he can finish cooking the food a few minutes ago. However, with Kojiro teaching Sakura, the food needs to wait for at least a few minutes.
As they eat the food, he sees Sakura widen her eyes and eat the rest of the food rather quickly.
"Is it Delicious?"
"EN!"
When they are finished eating, Kojiro does the dishes and then tells Sakura that they will visit Zelretch once more.
"Zelek?"
"Zelretch, but you can call him old man Zel."
"Old man Zel."
"That's right."
"UN!"
Before they could go to the Clock Tower, He told Sakura to take a bath first, and after she finished taking a bath, he told Sakura to use the cloth he created. The clothes he makes for Sakura is an imitation of Kunou Miko's outfit. A traditional Miko outfit and tall geta with white tabi. The sleeves of her haori feature a giant red star-shaped pentagram, surrounded by five smaller pentagrams in between the points. The Red star-shaped pentagram is some rune, or in this case seal, he writes on top of her outfit. The purpose of this seal is to protect her if something happens that even his other enchantment can't handle. The seal should be able to hold at least B Noble Phantasm and maximum A- Noble Phantasm within the category of Anti-Army.
When they are ready, Kojiro summons a portal to the clock tower, and when they walk through it, he sees Zelretch talking to a young woman with brown hair and wearing glasses. When Zelretch sees them walk through the portal, he smiles at them and says.
"Yo, How are you doing?"
"We are fine. Thank you."
"Good good"
He then squatted down and looked at Sakura before saying.
"How are you, little lady?"
"Good!"
"Good Good. You are a good girl, huh?"
"Yes, Old Man Zel"
He snorted a little at the shocked face of Zelretch and also at the shocked face of the other people in the lobby. After a second, he smiled at Sakura before patting her head.
"So, What can I do for you?"
"I want to discuss something with you."
"Hmmm, then let's go to my workshop."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Touko Aozaki looks at the disappearing body of Wizard Marshall. He was very interested in the figure walking next to Lord Zelretch. The Wizard Marshall is tight-lipped in showing the true identity of the second user of Kaleidoscope. By looking at him, Touko knows that the second user of Kaleidoscope is a young man that does not yet have a wife. So, in conclusion, the little girl that is wearing a Miko outfit is not his child and rather his new apprentice.
Touko is rather jealous of the little girl because not only does she get an apprentice position to a user of Kaleidoscope, she also knows that the little will become a powerful magus in the future. Touko knows about this because she knows that the second user of Kaleidoscope is nothing like his senior, The Wizard Marshall. She doesn't know how many people lost their sanity when they were under the apprentice of Zelretch.
Just by looking at the clothing, the little girl was wearing, Touko knew that it was the cloth that was already enchanted to the highest level. If it was given to the Mage Association, the individual will be given a rank of Pride immediately and Brand if the individual gives them the process of how to make it.
She swallows her jealousy to the little girl and vow to herself that she will reach the Root whatever it takes. The first thing she needs to do is to make herself an apprentice of the two users of Magic. With their teaching, she will come closer to reaching the Root.

The Dragon & The Demon
Orenda Nochdifache-Firefist has sucessfully overthrown the Empress Xandra and broken the empire to allow the individual colonies to return to self-rule, as well as abolished the chattle slavery that had plagued the land- earning her the title of "Orenda the Reign Ender". The Knights of Order have officially won the war in a bloody revolution, putting an end to the three centuries of warfare under Xandra's leadership. No longer must people live in fear of Xandra's puppet, The Emerald Knight. But now Orenda must face the realities of her dream- the imaginary princess has become queen. And, she has a deadly secret she must keep in the form of a teenage Urillian boy who is not what he seems. Anilla is still on a never ending quest to find her dragon; her people beleive that every memeber of their tribe is born with a soul bonded dragon that exists somewhere in the world- and Orenda's little secret claims to have seen Anilla's soul before. Could he be the key to ending her quest? This work is a direct sequel to The Crimson Mage, and will obviously contain major spoilers for that work, so it might be a better place to start (though I will warn you that the first chapter of that story may be the worst thing I've ever written. Just power through it or encorage me to put up a second draft). It can be found here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21654/the-crimson-mage/chapter/307763/chapter-1
