The store that Liz was concerned about was a cafe with a cute atmosphere like hers.
Though I have time, I also have limited time to think about the next game, so I went back to the arena as soon as each ordered sweets and snacks one at a time so I could afford to go back.
"Well, we're not hanging in there because we're looking up there!
Don't wave loudly, Liz, smiling softly, and Yukiko, waving with no expression, drop me off and Dahui and Autumn head to their respective holding rooms.
"Dae Fai, I'll see you in the finals"
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."
Dahui replies with a refreshing smile to the autumn words as he smiles invincibly. If I were you, and if I were you in the fall, I would definitely be in the finals. I thought so, but I smiled with confidence.
Unlike before, the holding room guided by the attendant was private.
"We didn't dare to divide it between qualifying and the first game because of the large number of people, but from here the holding room will be divided into four parts: east, west, north and south"
That was the explanation from the attendant. I guess it's because only four more will be in the next game that will be the semifinals.
It was a wish or a long time for Dae Fai.
It was no bother if one other participant asked about autumn, and it was preferable to be a private room in order to concentrate again.
"Now, please wait until I speak to you before we begin."
Nodding at the attendant's words, Dahui sits on a chair that was nearby, meditates quietly on his eyes and slowly begins to focus his spirit.
Only Dahui leaves the room quiet and filled with cold, strained air. That way, after a while, I hear the venue cheering all the way to the holding room. I guess the opening of the semifinals was announced.
But still, Dai-hui doesn't even move with Pickle.
"It's time..."
An attendant who can no longer wait enters the holding room, speaks up, but accidentally swallows the words. So much so that Dahui had a hard time speaking up.
"... oh, is it time"
Slowly opening his eyes as time had filled, Dahui noticed the attendant and, when he stood up quietly, headed for the aisle.
"Ha, yes, please!
The attendant who returned to me remembers the illusion that the air around Dahui walking in front of him was shaking. I don't know that anymore as if it was my fault if I rubbed the mess and my eyes.
Dahui slowly steps down the dim passage. Will I see this battle in the fall, or will I be concentrating in the pantry until my turn comes?
Dahui walks away thinking about that. Comfortable tension and relaxed body were very relaxed.
And when I go through the aisle, I'm greeted by a loud cheer. The venue, which even felt dazzling, even felt hot.
"- There are more people than in the previous game."
While staring at the distance, Dae Fai divulges that sentiment.
As the words put it, there was an exceptional increase in the number of spectators when compared to the game before the break, even an audience that could not sit out.
Contrary to the exuberance of that audience, Dahui's heart was calm.
"You can't mess up your mind in a place like this yet, can you?... but it's him first"
Consolidating his determination, Dae Fai set his sights on opponents coming from the aisle across the street for the first time here.
"Come on, we're both in! It's a combination of the first semifinals, but the Swordsman Dickie from the Nation of Man! Against is the Leopard Beast Swordsman, Barzamuh!
When both names are announced in the venue by the host with a hot emotional voice, the venue is wrapped in even louder cheers.
When two people are raised at the starting location, the rules are explained to both of them over the judgment standing between them. That was the same as explained in the previous game, the two of them were keen to fight fast and were looking at each other's opponents.
But the two had different types of gaze.
Burzam's stares at his opponent, Dahui, and his gaze is so sharp and strong that he still doesn't kill him.
One of Dahui's, on the other hand, wanted to defeat Basel early, the crossing point, and fight the fall in the finals.
The purpose of each other was consistent. I want to defeat the person in front of me. Therefore, the game begins without delay.
"Now, the semifinals first game Dyke VS Burzam - here we go!
Upon receiving the signal to begin, Burzam rushes to Dahui at first sight. The speed was unique to him, the leopard beast man, and many audiences were often unable to keep up with the movement.
However, Burzam's movements were perceived as clear in the eyes of Dahui, who did not move from the spot and set up a weapon.
"That's fast."
Unlike other beasts who specialize in flesh-bomb warfare, Burzam was not equipped with anything in his fist, but with a shorter sword in both hands. A weapon that can fight without inhibiting speed and with some reach. That's what he was choosing.
"Oh, that's it"
With a beastly look at his target, Burzam swings his sword down quickly aiming at his neck as he answers Dahui's words.
Everyone had decided in this blow that Burzam's victory was a certainty.
"Right."
Almost at the same time the two staggered with this word of Dahui, which does not make them feel a millimeter, such as giving up.
The smoke dances with the loud sound of Don. Some questioned how such a thing came up on the stone stage, but more amazing things happen on stage than that.
"- Ugh, it was fast"
Most of the audience, who were sure of Burzam's victory, stood up at the forefront, gazing open and looking onstage.
The reason for this is that it was Burzam, not Dahui, who fell.
What happened in the blind moment of smoke?
That was a fact that could only be grasped by the powerful people in the venue.
Burzam was aiming precisely at Dahui's neck with the sword of his right hand. But that is played lightly by the sword of Dahui, who was out of the attack. I expect that to happen to Burzam as well, and the sword is blind because I thought of it as a throwaway stone from the start.
His destiny is in his left hand, the Devil's Sword of the Wind. I wind and chase winds to increase the speed at which I wave my sword. Burzam unleashed an attack with an exact steeplechase of hits.
Now it's decided. That's what I thought. It was Burzam, but Dae-Fai was spotting that, too. He was also growing rapidly as he had fought so far.
If the opponent uses the magic power of the wind, activate the magic of the wind. That wasn't level magic, it was low-ranked stuff.
Primary Magic Wind Wall - Windwall.
There is no stopping Burzam's sword on a magical wall that would cause a small tornado, which Dahui also knew.
"But a moment will suffice"
Earlier Burzam had thrown the sword in his right hand into stone, so that grip was sweet.
In contrast, Dae-Fai didn't go all out to shoot him down either, but he was allowing room to lead to his next move.
But now he was shooting down his left hand sword with all his might, swiftly rotating his body at the same time, spinning around and tapping Burzam's neck thoughtfully with the belly of his sword.
The attack caused Burzam to lose consciousness and lay low on the ground.
"Huh... wow..."
I could see all the attacks in the audience. Hayaru shrugged as he couldn't get out of sight of Dae Fai, who had fired his last blow. The words weren't the kind of praise that you were fooling around like in the previous game, but I was honestly impressed by the power of Dahui, who was growing at some point, and seemed to remember him in a deliberate hurry.
"- And, winner, Dyke! The winner of the first semifinals game is Dyke, the Swordsman of the People!
The audience as well as the moderators were surprised by the unexpected developments, and the venue boiled loud cheers as if it had exploded all at once.
