Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... Leah. You and I haven't been close for a long time. Ever since you saved me from being lost in the woods..."

Catalina walks toward Leah, one step, one more step, through the powerful magic that was unleashed against her. Spinned out of her mouth like that was the memory of the interaction I had with Leah so far. As part of a brave party, there seemed to be constant clashes between Leah and Catalina as they spent time together that could never be said to be short.

Though, it didn't seem like the only thing that was between them was a clash.

"But I didn't resent Leah. I still appreciate Leah helping me out when I got tangled up by strange people in town, and when I was hungry, she shared a meal with me... oh, I was just a little sympathetic to the poor cooking, wasn't I?

That's what I said and I smiled small...... casually Catalina developed the magic of kingdom.

Its junctional magic, as if it were gloves, engulfed Catalina's hand. She uses that hand and gently strokes the magic flying from the rear...... That alone fogs the magic and makes it quiet as if nothing had happened.

Before that unusual sight, Leah opened her eyes. Neither did she expect her magic to be dispelled. Even in my previous experience, I guess I've never been wiped out of magic.

Against Catalina, when she noticed Leah's expression, she opened her mouth again and said:

"Even I won't always remain the little girl I was when Leah protected me, will I? To be honest... I was chasing Leah's back. I want to catch up one day. And he wants to catch up and walk shoulder to shoulder with Leah."

…………

"That's the same since you got sick. For a moment, I was worried that something would happen, but Leah even got over it. That wasn't overcome because I treated it. For one thing, it's the result of Leah's efforts."

"I don't..."

"I'm glad you said that. I can stretch my chest that my actions have not been wrong so far.... Come on, Leah. Today is the day to put an end to your relationship with me so far. From today on, I will be able to walk shoulder to shoulder with you."

That's what Catalina said and shut her mouth. I have nothing more to say. That's how her expression seemed to speak. Still, she didn't turn to offense right away because she was waiting for something? … for example, a response from a competitor.

Against Leah, I never returned the answer in words. She builds magic in her hands... I turned my caged gaze of hostility toward Catalina.

Catalina, who sees it, flies her words toward another who is not Leah.

"... Beatrix. Protect energy and everyone with kingdom magic. Can you do that?

"Yes! Leave it to me! Sir!"

"... I'll take care of it, right?

Immediately after Catalina narrowed her eyes to Beatrice's statement that she was a "teacher" ——

""... I'm going!

—— Catalina and Leah bumped into each other from the front.

◇

Because we were both related to a brave party, or the clash was, in the end, something that we didn't think was a fight between people.

A mass of ice emitted from the rear hand or a ball of flame, accompanied by explosions and shocks like the main cannon of a tank. Furthermore, such as wind drills and electric shocks that release faster than blinking…. They all fly to their target, Catalina, drawing a non-linear arc, as if inhaled.

The opposing Catalina continues to avoid the magic of the rear, flying from all directions, in critical places, using not only junctional magic, but also physical techniques that apply healing magic. Running through walls, redirecting on ceilings, sometimes landing on flying magic...... Travel at an unnoticed speed while maintaining a constant distance from the rear.

Fei Long, who was watching that with Beatrice, inadvertently sighed with admiration.

"What a fight... Now it's like... fireworks."

"Right...... Nor do I see this as a battle between people. Instead, I don't think there's any creature that can fight like this, even if it's not just people... At least, I've never seen anything other than teachers."

Dogo, go, go, go!!

Zdwong!!

You couldn't avoid a fierce barrage by Leah, or fire magic hits Catalina directly. But still, it doesn't look like Catalina was injured... As if nothing had happened, she jumped out of the smoke.

Shortly after, she suddenly changes direction in the air. We diluted the magic of the kingdom and used it like wings.

Seeing how it was, now the hunter let his eyes shine.

"I can't believe I could do that...!

The brave man agrees with the grunt.

"I can't do it either..."

"Brave man... didn't you lose your spare talent? If Catalina... no, so is Leah, but if our troops were here, I think that would complete our invincible troops. Besides, we were both at your party, weren't we?

"Me too, I didn't know the two of you were going to be so powerful..."

That's what I said, a brave man frowning. Inside that look, they had complex emotions swirling...... You couldn't put your heart into words properly, he seems to have kept his mouth shut, looking up in the air.

And ——

Dogowong!!

--The end of the battle between the two came unexpectedly, as when the storm left.
