Chapter 8
[ There was someone with different movements among the knights. It didnt give me the initial to move.]
Elstat stared straight at me.
His eyes looks as if there were crimson flames burning in them. It was like the thing that was burning was the fire of youth in him.
[Probably because we walk the same path of the sword. I understand it. He is an amazing expert, I think.] (TL: he said tabun here.)
There were also times when my previous brothers eyes was like this.
It was summer vacation, when the department store organized a match with the pro players.
It was my first brother who perfectly won the lottery over their challenge rights.
The night just before the match, he also had the same eyes as Elstat now and [I am going to destroy them and become famous!], shouted that.
When the anime director, who used to be the high schools top ranker, visited at the culture festival.
My second brother happily made him read his script.
Compared to my brothers, I think my reaction that time was way less extreme.
[According to you, that, there is a expert among the knights right?]
[Aah, Im not mistaken. Even better than the winner of the matches, Carl Peneim. Once, let me fight him once.] ( somehow kinda like the matches in the samurai period or something:TL)
[Ne- Els, its just my opinion but. with an amazing opponent like that. Even if you fight, the you now, wont you lose in just a moment?
Moreover, rather than fighting with those stronger than you, I think learning by observation is more benefitial.
I can also ask them to teach you. How about it?]
I think the answer is obvious if it was me.
[No, that cant do. Of course Ill be happy if it was just a show match or just learning by observation, but first I just want to fight once. I want to know what it feels like to taste defeat.](TL: wah, Els so classic.)
If so then why not just find that Carl Peneim or whatever at the Rozerem duke to fight with already.
There is no way theyd lose to an eight years old anyway.

.Though I almost blurted that out, I somehow stopped my mouth in time.
If I were to say that, I think well have a big fight.
My brothers also said that I didnt understand what a mans romance is.
Talking to you is just feels like being poured cold water on and eating cold noodles.
My first brother dumped such abused words at me. Just what is cold noodles huh, *cold noodles! (TL: cold noodles here is . Well the name says it all.)
He was so pissed off that even my bento for the next day was cold tofu. It was packed full of white.(TL: no idea what this is .)
Lets go back to business.
In short, wanting to fight with the knight doll is also part of Elstats romance.
He is playing in The disciple who got arrogant and came back to fight the master sword expert story.
This is troublesome but somehow simple. Well, compared to it, the original Elstat is way harder.
No matter what kind of face a man has, you have to accept them all, then can you go all the way from dating to marriage.
Also there is merits in this for me too. Its a chance to get to know deeper about the knight dolls. I thought I understood the knight dolls. I can even recall each and every one of their names. Yet I didnt noticed there was an expert among them like Els at all.
(Well, there is also the possibility of Els just imagining it.)
There is one thing for sure. I might be able to think of other ways to use the knight dolls by looking from a different point of view.
Thats why-
[For now Ill try asking them about it. Since today was a little tiring so you should go rest first.]
I answered just like that.
[Alrighhhhhhhttttttttt ! ! !]
The window glass was shaking and rattling as Els shouted happily.
As I was thinking that it was annoying to the neighbours, aah- wait, the mansion is built in the middle of a plain so I guess thats not a problem.
No wait-
[Els, I think the people who were escorting you is already getting drowsy though]
-Plop- as the fire in his eyes was put out. I seems to have poured cold water on his mood.
* *
The number of the dolls created had already long been beyond 100 already with such number, they can no longer fit in my room anymore.
Thats when I got permission to use the old small Europian style building next to the Wisp house.
Aka, Doll House. Please dont laugh about it. Anything simple is the best.
Under the renovation of the dolls themselves, it has become a cozy place comfortable enough compared to the main house. It also seems to have become the maids leaving works hanging place from time to time.
Morning of the next day, I tried to enter the knight dolls room-but I was stopped.
The water spirits doctor said.
(Until their wounds are healed, weve casted sleeping magic on them. That last night was very serious.)
Looking carefully there was a stain on the cheek of the doctor doll. Apparently, not forgetting about the excitement from thepretend fight the knight dolls rampaged quite a bit last night.
(But we will still do whatever you ask us to.)
The Rozerem duke will be staying for a while. Today we are going to go out in incognito to the town together. Lets come back and see them when we return.
I think meetting with the dolls living in the town might be a good idea.
Having been away from me for over six months, they are likely to have noticed a lot of stuff or at least some sort of hint.
a while after that.
Me, my father Solute, the Rozerem duke, and Elsat was sitting in a three person horse drawn carriage.
[Hoho-Altirea-kun. These are also the dolls you made right?]
The Rozerem duke spoke with an awfully polite speech.
I heard from father before. Hes actually theGahaha laughing excitedly type. I wonder if he is shy in spite of his big body.
[Yes, I am planning to let them meet their brothers who are living in town.]
Next to me was two stuffed cats with droping eyes lying around with a- pur-pur.
[I see, brothers huh. The faces are so alike. I wonder wont you get confused with which one is which?]
[Its okay. Because their faces is a little different from each other.]
The difference is a little vague, so its hard to tell.
The one on the right gives off a sleepy feeling and the one on the left gives off a sleeping-sleepily feeling. (TL: its really written like that one is and the other is . Its confusing.)
I want you to imagine their expression a bit.
. Lets stop here.
Then.
The carriage shook quite a bit after hitting a big rock.
The 2 kittens effortlessly got thrown off the couch but they just continued purring there. The earth spirits are as stable as expected.
[Oww!]
Els was holding his head in one side. Seems like he was hit by the hilt of his own sword.
Eh- why is such a dangerous thing there.
[Its in case we got attacked. Who knows if it will be like yesterday.]
Ugh
Being told that hurts.
However, an eight years old carrying a sword around the streets is a little too dangerous. Even more so it will stand out in the public. Were incognito today too.
Come, put it away.
[Ee-]
Come on dont be selfish.
[I got it. Well, I can also use a bit of magic. If something were to happen Ill protect you.]
Later I will defintely regret this decision no, even if there was a sword, the enemy is just too overwhelming.The result would still be the same.
Lately, I think luck is not on my side. Im sure today incident will be an even bigger blow than yesterday.
