Editing Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume15 Chapter2 (section)

===Part 7===

The banquet lasted until late night. The local population greatly enjoyed being treated to the celebration. However, since the star of the event, Mireille, was still a child, she had apparently gone to bed early.

While listening to the orchestra's music, Kamito also returned to the bedroom assigned to him.

Although he inexplicably found Milla the maid present in his room, rolling about in his bed, she immediately smoothed out the sheets as soon as she noticed Kamito.

"Well then, Kamito-sama, good night."

After bowing her head respectfully, she took her leave.

"...What was that about?"

Puzzled, Kamito changed into pajamas and lay on the bed.

The bed was very soft and comfortable.

With his arms spread out, Kamito stared at the ceiling.

The wound on his flank, supposed to be closed up, was hurting with a dull pain.

(...Greyworth, I never expected you to become our enemy.)

There was a palpable feeling of numbness still lingering on his two hands which he had used to engage the Witch in battle. This familiar sensation was one that he had experienced more than enough times three years ago.

It had been so long since he last faced such fierce resistance. Besides, the number of elementalists capable of matching Kamito blow for blow were few to begin with, countable on one hand.

His opponent at the Blade Dance final match three years ago, Luminaris the Paladin, Rubia Elstein with holy maiden powers, Lurie Lizaldia of the Numbers, Shao Fu of the Four Gods representing the Quina Empire, and Leonora the dragon knight of Dracunia...

(...Speaking of Leonora, she helped me out again.)

Back then, Leonora had no reason to assist Kamito in battle.

The same went for the Blade Dance too. After challenging Kamito to a match and meeting defeat, she upheld her promise to go help Ellis and Rinslet.

As fellow elementalists, she was truly a good opponent worthy of respect.

In Rubia's plan, the declaration of Legitimate Ordesia required seeking asylum from the Dragon Duchy of Dracunia. He was most likely going to meet Leonora there again&mdash;

Immersed in his thoughts, with eyes closed, Kamito soon fell asleep.
