“Aah! Cold water is truly such a comfort. I must say, though, I am impressed by your skill with that flamelike broadsword of yours, Sir Orgus.”
“Hmph. You speak with narrow vision, Moritaka Shino Inuzuka, for it is the techniques performed with your blade of ice that stand of noteworthy praise here. If only a certain someone else had even a portion of the spirit you do! But alas…“

The young swordsman Moritaka and the highly experienced captain of the Imperial Guard, Orgus, pit their blades against one another in challenge. After their match-up is complete, they seek out a water fountain on campus to cool themselves off. There, whilst ceaselessly speaking words of praise and admiration for the lessons they’ve each learned from the other, they proceed to thoroughly splash their heads with water, and the heat still radiating from within their bodies thus begins fighting a battle all its own with this much-needed cooling sensation. The two warriors both silently note that in every world they know of, the sky that stretches infinitely above them is always said to be clear and blue. And now that the blades of fire and ice have crossed, perhaps, they hope, this could be the start of something new and exciting.

「ぷうーっ。冷たき水の、なんと心地よいことか。オルグス殿の炎が如き剛剣に拙者感服致し申した。」
「フッ。なんとまっすぐな瞳よ。犬塚信乃モリタカ。氷の刃と唄われた貴君の技、見事であったぞ。この気迫が、欠片でもアイツにあれば……ふう。」
百戦錬磨の騎士団長オルグスに挑む、若き剣士モリタカ。
稽古の後に籠った熱を冷ますため、２人は校内にある水場へと足を運ぶ。
道中お互いから学べた事柄を褒め称えあいながら水場へやってくると、勢いよく水を頭からかぶる。
まだ体に残る熱さと、水の冷たさが交互に体内を駆けていくように思えた。
何処の世界へ行っても、頭上に広がるは澄み渡る青く晴れた空。
炎の剣と、氷の剣がまみえた先に、新たなる境地へ至らんことをただ願う。

「呼！水好冰涼啊，真是舒暢。歐爾格斯大人那宛如火焰般的剛劍，真是讓在下深感佩服。」
「呵，多麼直率的眼神啊。犬塚信乃戍孝，你那被譽為冰之刃的招式也非常出色喔。那傢伙要是也能擁有一丁點你的氣魄就好了……呵。」

年輕的劍士戍孝，向身經百戰的騎士團長歐爾格斯發起了挑戰。為了降低比試後積累的熱氣，兩人來到了校內的水源處。他們一邊相互讚賞著從對方身上學到的事物，一邊來到了目的地，並將冷水從頭頂一口氣澆下。殘留在身上的熱氣和冷水的沁涼感，像在體內相互流竄一般交會。不論去到哪個世界，頭頂上都展開著透徹的藍天。但願在這火焰之劍與冰晶之劍所到之處，直至抵達新的境界為止，不會出現任何困難與阻礙。

“呼~这冷水灌顶，真叫人觉得清爽极了。奥古斯大人真是好功夫啊，刚刚那套剑术简直比火焰还要热烈，在下实在佩服。”
“哼，你这眼神倒是率真。犬冢信乃戍孝，你这把‘冰之刃’舞出的绝技确实名不虚传。如此英勇，要是那厮身上有哪怕分毫就好了……呼。”

年轻的剑士戍孝向经验丰富的骑士团长奥古斯发起挑战。几番激烈的切磋过后，为了消暑静心，两人一边互相感激着对方的指教一边结伴来到了校园中的洗漱区。冷冽的流水从头顶涌流而下的那一瞬间，两人只觉得一阵冰爽刺进肌肤，与尚未消散的余热在体内你来我往地游走了起来。纵使世界早已不同，抬头望去，眼中却仍是碧空如洗。只盼望这对惺惺相惜的炎剑与冰刃日后相辅相成，共同踏入新的境界。
