"Who are they?" I whispered as I cast glances towards the women.
"They are Rain and Claire." Iris said, "They are my teachers... and escorts."
"Greetings, Guardian. We have heard quite a lot about you from Mitsurugi-dono." The woman in a white suit smiled coldly as if she wasn't happy to see me. "Hand Iris-sama over and surrender." She put on a straight face and drew her sword.
"Guardian-san, you heard Claire-sama, please hand Iris-sama over, there won't be any consequences for that." Rain said in a persuasive tone.
"You abducted Iris-sama and left a bruise on her left wrist. You shall pay for your crimes, Magic Swordmaster." Claire said coldly as she pointed her sword towards me.
Aw shit, what should I do? As I was thinking about how to deal with this situation, Iris spoke up.
"It wasn't like that, Claire! Guardian Onii-chan protected me from delinquents and wanted to bring me back, but Mitsurugi butts in and grabbed me forcefully, and so I have a bruise on the wrist! Please, Onii-chan was innocent there!" Iris pleaded.
"What...?" Claire looked at me with disbelief. 'Iris-sama, who is that Onii-chan? This man is your brother? Don't make me laugh! Also, Iris-sama, hanging out with this kind of guy does you more harm than good."
"I do not know what... Who's that guy again? Whatever, the cursed sword guy told you. But it is exactly what Iris-"
"It's Iris-sama, you peasant!"
"said."
"Claire-sama, I think..." Rain tried to calm Claire down and lighten the situation, but failed.
"Shut up, Rain! I am going to take care of this imbecile here!" Claire declared as she kept her sword pointed towards me. "Now, draw your sword and fight me, Magic Swordmaster."
I threw my hands up in exasperation.
"Well, to be honest, I don't really want to fight you two, but I will do it if you insist!" I warned as I pulled out my sword and pointed my sword towards Claire.
