"So tired."(Ezax)

"It was just dancing for an hour,what makes you felt so tired?"(Hikari)

"Couldn't you see that I kept activating magic nonstop?That's why please let me rest for a while.."(Ezax)

Ezax right now were in castle balcony and kept searching for any potential threat. Only found nothing...rather it was too calm and made him really worried. But thanks to hikari he was sure there was a poison on the food,even though it was only an E level poison it was still poison and made them sure someone aimed their life...After a 30 minute rest. Ezax back to the hall with Excal at his hand,while Hikari unsheathe her rapier. After all while they were resting everyone else already fall to the ground and was paralyzed..At the same time from main entrance to this hall shook for a moment..and then 1 shadow appeared with silver blade on his hand aiming at Ezax's neck. Ezax barely raise his sword in time and block it..

"Heh,you were really strong as honey said..."(??????)

It was a mature woman with black hair,with eastern outfit and long scarf covered her neck. But Ezax was sure she wasn't human.After all he sense dragon within her.

"You were a dragoon right?"(Ezax)

"Heh..So you were not dumb as you look,no wonder you able to escape from my little gift."(??????)

She gigled like a young girl,Ezax want to sa careful to Hikari,but on otherhand Hikari was..

"Irene nee-san?"(Hikari)

"!Hikari?"(Ezax)

Hear that name,the woman in front of stopped and then asked hikari.

"You...were you that little girl always followed me whenever I go?I heard you eloped with your lover,I never expect to see you here.Since you were little girl you were always clever child,you made the right decision to leave the church and even eloped with your lover to escape from your parent grasp.Sometimes fate really made me wonders."(Irene)

"I didn't expect it either.Irene nee-chan..what happen to you?Why you had dragon in your body?"(Hikari)

"Heh,you have grown hikari.Or rather,you already have courage inside you..Unlike the timid little girl I know."(Irene)

"Of course ,Irene nee-san love change people after all,but it didn't matter..What I want to know is..why Irene nee-san do this?"(Hikari)

"You wouldn't believe if I told you,what I could say is..you made the best choice to elope with him."(Irene)

She then looked with Ezax,but she never showed her killing intent even once which made Ezax wondered about her reason..no rather for her able to enter the castle without knowing already show that she was above S rank. After all his magic only allows people that the same or below his rank...So he felt she must be a lot of stronger than him.

On other hand ,Irene saw this noticed Ezax was keeping guard around her and made her head hurts.After all her mission was only to kill those prince that belonged church and return dragoon continent.If possible invite or forced Ezax to join them.Irene then said while shrugged her shoulder.

"Wait,wait could we talk for a moment?Indeed I am come here to kill some people..but I didn't come here to kill you or Hikari.."(Irene)

"You think I would let you just throught and kill these prince and princess?"(Ezax)

"I only kill those scum that belong to the church,After all they were too dangerous not to deal with..Beside kid,you didn't like the church either ,after all if you didn't hate them then you would already join as hero .Am I wrong?"(Irene)

"No ,you couldn't be more right but regardless of that I couldn't believe you..if just for killing the prince and princess...then it would be easier for you just to assasinate them separately after they went home right?"(Ezax)

"Busted,thought..Ezax you still didn't know what I am here for right?"(Irene)

"...No,but I know you didn't had any good intention about me or hikari,that knife on your body..I smelt a sleep herb on it.."(Ezax)

"What a pity.."(Irene)

Suddenly she moved and appear in front of Ezax and her knife aimed at forvish palm..

"Fast!"(Ezax)

"If you just remain stupid,then it wouldn't be hurt you know..."(Irene)

As she said that a hidden knife appear from her shoes and Ezax right leg..Ezax immediately swing his sword to kept her away...

"Heal..."(Hikari)

"It's was useless hikari,There was a paralyze poison on -..Impossible..Poison immunity?"(Irene)

"Hikari cover me"(Ezax)

As soon Ezax said that,he draw his katana and swing both of excal and katana toward her...but she effortlessly parry Ezax attack and then do a spin kick that send him away toward the nearby table and flip over it..

"Not bad,But you were still far from honey.."(Irene)

As soon as she replied that,10 arrows fly toward her ,she dodged it easily and then look toward Ezax who hold bow at his hand and rapidly fired arrow toward her...

"3 weapon master?"(Irene)

As irene thought that,hikari already dissapear from her original position and rapidly run toward her with her rapier...Irene prepared to intercept her,only to know Ezax run toward her at same time with a very long spear on his right hand. She immediately parry both of them at same time with knife and sword at both of her hand.

"Looks like what honey said was right.I must stop playing around..If I want to defeat you Ezax. Mass...Teleportation.."(Irene)

As she said that,All of them were teleported to the top of castle...

"Now,Shall we fight seriously?Ezax and Hikari.."(Irene)
