The first match of the Onigoshi Shogun challenger tournament, Alfred vs. Jay Mix.
Alfred still has long, dull-colored long hair, but it feels like he's feeling less rough. On the other hand, Jay has short hair that shines in emerald green. My sister Dee was long and my sister Jay was short.
"--Thank each other! Ready!"
"Jay, don't bow down somehow. Please bow firmly." "Teacher, preach to such a place ..." "That's why I'm ashamed of Jay. "Now," "I'm already ashamed enough ... I'm sorry. I'll be careful later."
He talks in a friendly way.
"Both are relaxing"
Sylvia mutters when they look at them. We are watching from the super-special seat called the exclusive seat for the contestants, so we can understand everything from the expression.
"Well, now it's like a relative." "Um ... I can't think of it six months ago."
Coincidentally, this summer demon sword battle was the same opponent as the winter demon sword battle six months ago.
Half a year ago, Jay, who was only the hand of Demon Lord Ernte, and blind Alfred, who was working hard to release it, would surely face this way. Six months ago you would not have imagined it.
His eyes are visible. And she is also ahead.
It's going to be a happy title battle. Except for the only old man.
"--start!"
A referee's order will be issued.
At the moment, Alfred and Jay start moving diagonally sideways, point-symmetrically, and almost simultaneously fire Infantry Archery.
"Oh"
A voice comes out unintentionally. Jay's Aim, a clear improvement over what he had seen before.
Aim at moving targets while moving. They suddenly fired their first difficult shots, but they both fired Infantry Archery into each other's eyebrows with the same aim.
"Hah" "Huh"
Sudden braking. It was both the teacher and the two who suddenly stopped moving and avoided Infantry Archery.
Immediately afterwards, he released a combination of Silver Shoyu and Keima Bow, moving forward and narrowing the gap.
Again, both are attacking in the same way and in the same way.
"Imitation!" "Oh, it's imitating. Alfred is imitating Jay." "And? Get it?" "I'm going to win. Alfred is a dare to imitate, "That's a guided match."
“…………”
When I was talking to the eco, I saw the expression of Sylvia, who was watching the game silently.
She may be nervous again, as the next game is coming. I thought so-
"... huh, huh, huh"
Sylvia was laughing.
As if you couldn't stand it, it would overflow from your throat.
"Hey, hey." "U, um, no, second lord, I'm sorry, something strange."
The expression that the face laughs on its own without being able to laugh.
…………ah I see.
"Did you notice?"
"!"
After all.
"Second person used to have this feeling?"
Silvia finally calms down and asks her to be worried.
"... well"
When was that? Ah, yes, it's a night just after coming to this world.
Sylvia, when you were still at the bottom of the Third Knights, came back to the royal city after completing the Daique tactics, and when I was asked a job question, I knew that only thirteen of the world's dungeons had been captured. , I tasted a pretty similar feeling.
That's right. Sylvia now can show such a game ... I laugh?
"-Until then! Winner, Alfred!"
Alfred gradually increased his advantage, defeating Jay.
It was a match between a master and a disciple, with a clear difference.
Jay's growth was noticeable, but apparently Alfred is growing even faster. The opponent, who used to take appropriate measures in the past, has now been pushed to a position where he can play the coaching with a generous expression.
He took care of his apprentice, but he did not hesitate to train himself. Just because you can see, you won't. A man whose bottom is still invisible. Age doesn't matter. He will surely continue to strive. In a year or so, Ernte and other infantry archers may be able to defeat it.
... but still, Sylvia will laugh.
* * *
Fear Dee Mix remembered for sure.
Second match, Silvia Virginia vs. Dee Mix. The winner and Alfred, the winner of the first match, will be in the finals, and will be able to take on the right to challenge Erunte demon squadr.
Ernte's brainwashing with his mixed sisters is now gone. Over the past six months, Alfred's affectionate ironing has finally allowed them to look ahead.
Because of retaliation, if he gets the right to challenge, that will be for Dee. "It was good to use it," she said, and it was not an exaggeration to say that her purpose in this title battle was to strip her fangs.
There is no fear there. The former teacher is now lonely. Now that he has an irreplaceable ally called his sister Jay and his new teacher Alfred, Dee has been a scary opponent such as Ernte.
So why is she scared right now?
The cause is the woman in front of me.
"... It's been a long time. You look a lot different, haven't you looked so much? Thank you. You are too good and scary. "" Well, hmm, yeah, thank you. "
Dee trimmed the long hair of the emerald green to about semi-long and tied it behind. A cool hairstyle for summer.
Sylvia, on the other hand, does not change her hairstyle, but looks different.
It's dignified-it's obvious no matter who you look at. I can't point out exactly what has changed, but it's clear why.
The appearance also played a role in creating a dignified atmosphere.
Equipped with "Black Flame Wolf" body Light armor for archers with a jet-black cloak on one shoulder, and hats, bow cage hands, and shin pads made from material items dropped by Black Flame Wolf, the boss of the infinity dungeon "Isoloys"・ It is shoes. At present, armor made of the strongest materials. The defense and lightness are perfect, and the drawback is a bit hot.
"So, let's do it."
“…………”
Again, something cold stroked Dee's back.
also. She is convinced. He feels scared.
Why do you feel scared? The reason is still unknown.
"--Thank each other! Ready!"
According to the referee's instructions, the two take out the bow and hold it.
Dee took out a Mithril Longbow. A large bow that is lightweight, powerful and easy to handle.
On the other hand, Sylvia did not take out the Flame Wolf Bow ...
"Just a longbow ...?"
A wooden longbow with no quirks. Orthodox large bows sold at any weapon store.
The reason Sylvia chose this weapon, which was less aggressive than the Flame Wolf Bow, was extremely simple. It's just one point that the attack motion is smaller and less noticeable than the fire wolf bow.
"--start!"
It takes a command to start.
"OK!"
Setsuna ... Sylvia swirled around on the spot twice in the horizontal direction.
"???"
Mysterious behavior. Dee is perplexed, but fires Infantry Archery prepared for the attack.
Aim is accurate. The advice she received from the second with bingo prizes, and her training methods were repeated every day, and her aim was improved incomparably six months ago.
"It's too honest."
Meanwhile, Sylvia mutters and moves forward with all her power, avoiding Dee's attack.
On the way, he stopped twice and fired Infantry Archery twice.
From a state of arms hanging down, he raises his arm in an instant, shoots an arrow shortly before aiming, then immediately lowers his arm and starts running again. But the aim is no more accurate. It was a sharp Infantry Archery that was second to none in the technique he exhibited at the exhibition with Ernte.
The point of the demon sword battle is how to "do not know when to shoot"-Sylvia faithfully incorporated the technique used by the second into his own fighting style.
"That! This!"
Dee avoids both of Sylvia's Infantry Bows with the last minute shot, and begins preparing a combination of Cauldron Bows and Keima Bows to fight back.
This was a good move. Incense wheels have a penetrating effect. Therefore, it is difficult to prevent only attacks with the same penetration effect. Also, by combining Keima, more precise aiming is realized, making simple avoidance difficult. This is a great way to stop Silvia from moving forward.
"HM?"
When Sylvia tilts her head for some reason, she stops on the spot and starts preparing for 《Rookie Bowery》.
"Huh? What are you-?"
… Immediately after, “Keiuma Bow Art” came to Dee's brain.
""
It was only Dee at this arena that did not know what had happened.
"What are you doing!" "At the same time, Sylvia Virginia was shooting Keima Bows!", The audience argued.
However, this was all we could do without it.
I didn't even shake the shot. No way, I can't imagine shooting a 《Keima bow art》 into the sky in two rounds of the opening, and I can't imagine trying to drop an arrow at such a precise position.
Yes, this is a mechanism that only when viewed from the front, the moment of 《Keima Bowery》 activation becomes extremely difficult to understand due to Sylvia's two rotations.
Sophisticated movements that can be understood by an audience from a different angle, but not understood by an opponent viewed from the front.
To put it simply, the basics of the basics. Sylvia is doing very basic things. The basics of "don't know when you shot" were just the beginning of the show, a technology that did just that.
"I'm sorry I laughed."
Sylvia fired Rookie Bowling, whispering her own words.
An instant event. Despite two attacks in a row, Dee suffers heavy damage and goes down.
“…………”
Sylvia prepares the last move with Dragon King Bowery without saying that this is not the true reality yet.
-The level is too low.
The cause of her laughter was this feeling that never escaped.
Six months ago, those who had been using such surprise tactics to fight so much, felt so low-level .... What should I do without laughing at this?
No matter how many times you rethink, no matter how much you think, you will never lose.
Jay, Dee, even Alfred, and ... even Ernte.
"--Till then! Winner, Sylvia Virginia!"
Sylvia leaves the arena with a cloak on her shoulders in the blast of Ryuou bow art.
She continues her leisurely walk, keeping her longbow in the inventory and telling herself to the old man who may be hiding anywhere.
"Nobody else. I'll give you guidance."
