A boy who was disowned because he was second in everything, is unknowingly unmatched

Volume 1

Chapter 2-The promise of a duel and Cleo's speculation.

(TL: By Rafael)

"Hey, Keane? I'm not the best at swordsmanship. Well, I might be able to do more than average, but I don't want to stand out that badly that I have to lie about the truth."(Cleo)

"Sorry, I'm sorry ..."(Keane)

　While exploring the dungeon, I lectureed the  elf youth.

　It's not that I don't acknowledge my sword using skills, but Keane's rumors went a little too far. There is no such thing as me being the best in this city.

　In fact, I knew that the Knights of this royal capital also had a wall called Aruna, who was called the strongest swordfighter in the world. Although he was in a different class from me, he was still in the same grade, and his sword technique wascalled a natural talent and he was able to outshine me many times while he was in school.

　Shortly after graduating, Aruna was appointed as the deputy leader of the Knights.

　I was in second place, completely shaded, and I wasn't even looked at.

(TL: I feel for you Cleo)

"From  now, be careful ? I don't want to be misunderstood after today ."

　After thinking so much, I feel sorry for myself and that was the end of the story. It happened a long time ago, and I decided to live as an adventurer, so let's forget about the sad stuff.

　With that in mind, I decided to hurry ahead while repelling Little Damon who had jumped on me with my  non-chanting magic. It's an hour  walk.

"Oh? - Aren't you the boy from the morning?"(Erio)

"Ah, Erio-san. Are you exploring the dungeon alone?"(Cleo)

　I encountered an unexpected person.

　It's the lightly dressed swordfighter who was looking for me in the guild earlier-Mr. Erio. After smiling at the beautiful face, I walked up to him.

"I am taking bit of a break. I can't help but prepare before facing Cleo."(Erio)

"Ah, aha .... Is that so ..."(Cleo)

　Erio also laughs unintentionally shaking his shoulders.

　It seems he hasn't given up yet. I scratched my cheek while sweating coldly.

"By the way, I didn't hear your name ..."(Erio)

"Oh ...! I didn't say it, it is Dan!"(Cleo)

"I see, Dan-kun?"(Erio)

"Hahahaha ..."(Cleo)

I inadvertently cheated with my father's name.

　But it doesn't matter. Here, unless someone makes a mistake.

"Oh, I was thinking  where you went! Cleo--"(Keane)

"WOOOO!!"(Cleo)

　--Keane, what  do you want to achieve here  ,tell me Keane! ??

　I tried to block his late words and screamed as hard as I could. The elf, who seems to have noticed such a situation, suddenly closes his mouth.

　Breathing while shaking  shoulder, I looked towards Erio.

"Mu ...? It seems that a different  name from what you told me just now came out--"(Erio)

"It must be your imagination ! It's definitely because you are tired!"

　Then, he puts his hand on his chin and starts  to think.

　Fortunately, my real name wasn't heard. I was relieved and stroked my chest. Fighting a duel is a hassle.

　I decided to live as I like, so I wanted him to at least let me live  in peace.

"Hmm, maybe it's because I am tired . By the way, Cleo-kun? Is this one good?"(Erio)

"Yes, which one --- Ah"(Cleo)

“………………”(Erio)

“………………”(Cleo)

　And at that  moment was when I was relaxed.

　I replied normally to Erio's words that were casually issued. Silence comes down between me and Erio and we just look at each other.

　There was no excuse for this anymore.

　For the time being, a bitter smile came over me.

"Hmm, then Cleo-kun. Once  again-will you accept the duel?"(Erio)

　Erio says so with a big smile.

Apparently, I couldn't make any more excuses.

"OK, but there are some conditions."(Cleo)

　If I can't avoid it I will use it , So I proposed this.

"If I win, You have to accept  one of my wishes, okay?"(Cleo)

　Erio nodded to my condition, but with a mysterious expression on his face.
