Maou No Utsuwa

The qualifying round is over and the first round of the main battle is about to begin. Kamui had come to the Hildegands.

"Is that good? Mr. Gilberto's opponent's weakness is the protection of his feet. Please restrain your lower body and seal your opponent's movements. Attacks are a lot of attacks from the left diagonal, but that's a shake. Keep your consciousness pointed at you and clamp it from the opposite side. That's the pattern of the attack, so be careful."

"Yes."

"Just don't be too conscious. Even as usual, I'm not the one who won't make it happen. Don't get on the invitation, just wait for the opportunity and attack."

"Yes!"

"Well, good luck, gentlemen"

"Hey Kamui! What about us? Don't you have any advice?

Just the advice to Gilberto, Hildegand called to a halt in haste for Kamui to leave.

"The others are fine. If you do what you normally do, you will definitely win. Even if you fail a little, you win. I will definitely win."

"... yes"

"Are you depressed?

"'Cause it looks like they're leaving something alone"

"Well, the first round. The semi-finals and finals are in order."

"... are you there?

"Excuse me. I wanted to go to Rutz's for the first round."

Deefreet's place.

Rutz's place.

…………

Hildegand stares at Kamui with his eyes narrowed. Variations also appear to have emerged in the way in which they indicate yakimochi.

Rutz's place.

"... ok"

"Good luck. I can't see it in person, but I'm here for you."

"Yes."

"Hilda is fine. Because I believe you."

"Okay!

Where he fixed Hildegand's mood like this, Kamui rushes to Deefleet's place. This is where the pioneering battle has already begun.

"Kamui! What's wrong?

"Hey. I need to talk to Lutz and Sele."

"Me? What, what's the story?

"Definitely win. Knock your opponent out by the end of the day. I don't mind killing you."

"Chi, hey!?" "What, can I kill you?

"" Lutz!?

Serene and Deefleet showed a brilliant fit.

"Killing is a joke. But don't even give it a slight chance. Don't let them shake you."

"Oh, that's no problem"

Lutz responds lightly to Kamui's demands, but that's only because he's Lutz. The other Serene, that's not going to happen.

"Because it's a problem. I'm not so sure."

"Sele should be able to win, too. It's just hard not to let it wave."

"... is that a pleasure?

If Kamui tells me I can beat you, that makes me big confident. I thought so, Serene.

"I'm not happy."

"Oh, yeah."

"Give me some advice so I don't waver."

"Are you serious?

"Naturally. The opponent's setup is in the middle. But the attack starts at the top. I just saw it once, so I wouldn't say absolutely, but I'm pretty sure"

"... so"

Without worrying about Serene confusion, Kamui will explain the specific way to fight.

"Set aside a beat at the signal of initiation and give your opponent a temper to attack. Raise your sword up and step in from there, so the first start is slow. So pack your time and stretch a poke in your face."

"Face?"

"Yes. It feels like turning them upside down. Don't be late to pack your time, even if you're wrong, and give me time to swing it down"

"It's hard to say."

"With Cele's speed, we should make it."

"Yes."

"If you let me reverse it, it's this one. You have to put your torso back in to wave the sword down, so don't let it, keep typing in. So decide."

"... I don't know, it's easy to say"

"I'm fine. Sele can do it. Because I believe."

"Because I won't be damned"

"... trust me"

Not against Hildegand. Not because Hildegand is simple, but because Kamui and the others have scattered things on Serene just to be suspected.

"If you believe in Kamui, it suits you terribly."

"My perfect advice."

"It's suspicious to say that in the first place. Kamui should be supporting Mr. Hildegand. We're enemies."

"More hateful enemies have appeared"

"... what is that?

"He and the others are trying to betray a fellow border bearer. You can't allow that."

"Hey, what's going on?

"I can't talk in detail right now. But they're definitely me and Sele, common enemies."

"... yes. Unless you want to talk about it."

"Show your strength. Remind him what it means to betray us."

"Fine. I'll do it."

In the end, it was Serene to be ridden by Kamui.

"Okay, that's good. Don't lose Dee either."

"I don't understand the story. But you're not going to lose."

"That's good. Well."

"Kamui?"

So I thought it was what I was leaving, and Kamui, as it were, sees me standing arm in arm, and Sele raises a voice of doubt.

"What?"

"You still got something?

"Trying to see the results"

"Yes.... are you watching the game?

Kamui is looking genuinely Jen-royal, pouring his harsh gaze at one point in the front. I don't care how you look at the direction of the game, it's out of sight.

"No."

"What are you looking at? Or who are you staring at?

"Traitor, I need to know I'm angry."

"Is that what you've been doing?

"Of course. Now if you shrivel a little, it'll make the Battle of Sele easier, won't it?

"Yes, but..."

"And maybe there's something else. It also makes sense to threaten those guys. We need to make sure we don't put out a guy who'll have the same idea again."

"Oh, yeah."

Don't seriously piss off Kamui. For the first time, Serene thought so.

And if you've already pissed me off.

"I'm staring at you."

On the other side of his formation, he was already atrophied by Kamui, who was staring at him in a tremendous shape.

"Never mind. You're gonna support me because I have a subordinate, right?

"But didn't you find out?

"Eight hundred? It's nothing, is it? That's not why Kamui's in trouble."

"But"

"It's for Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia. There's no such thing as Kamui getting angry about, is there? It's the main thing for him too."

So what is it that Kamui is angry about? This explanation is just a rationale to forgive the other.

"But I'm afraid of something."

"What are you freaking out about younger? Look, we decided to work together and support Her Royal Highness Princess Sophilia. We obey Her Royal Highness Princess Sophilia, not him."

"That's right..."

"You say it's a betrayal. That's why Kamui's angry."

A male student of the Admiral, who was listening to the exchange between the two, has interrupted the story. The look is so stained with angry colors that Kamui can't beat it.

"What are you saying? Who did we betray?

"You guys don't know anything. Or do you know, and you're in love?

"What?

"You're in love. Are you jealous that the younger Kamui is taking the lead?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Why should I be jealous of him?

"Know what? Ask your own chest that."

"... there's nothing to be jealous of. What I'm not convinced of is that one of them has contacts with Her Royal Highness Princess Sophilia. That's crazy, isn't it? There's nothing up or down in our parents' house. Why would the younger guy act like our heads?

Normally this is called jealousy. They just don't acknowledge it.

"You just sound jealous. You're wrong about that. The title of Kamui's home is the Viscount House. It's not like us, Uncle Borderline."

"Preposterous. In sequence, Borderline Uncle is better."

"But His Majesty the Emperor does not deserve to see it. There must be a direct aristocratic Viscount."

The outer border uncle is equal to no authority within the Empire. If you're a borderline person, you know that.

"... that's all."

"Then can you tell me? How can someone who doesn't deserve to be seen complain about their position?

"It's..."

"If you really don't know, I'll tell you."

"... what?

"The borderline children, excluding you, were not attached to Her Royal Highness Princess Sophilia."

"That can't be right"

"What we follow is a candidate for the Crown Prince who will improve the treatment of the border areas."

"That's Her Royal Highness Princess Sophilia, isn't it? That's what I hear."

"Not now. But I don't know the future. If you change your mind, what if it's an excuse to be a crown prince?

"No... I mean, is he cheating on us?

The idea is that I don't really think about improving the treatment of the border areas. If you think about it, you can see that what Kamui is doing is just one strategy chosen from a few.

"How does that happen? Kamui knows that. I know, so you're keeping us away from Her Royal Highness Princess Sophilia. If, when it does, I'm the only one who betrays you. That's what Kamui thinks."

"That shouldn't be..."

It seems that this boy student has finally figured it out, and confusion has come to his expression.

"I can always change who I stick with. It is only by making me think so that I can favour the negotiations. I don't even know that."

"But Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia..."

"I was fooled. To that woman named Theresa. That one is hostile to Kamui. If you're in college, you should know that."

"If that's the case, why would you?

"That's not persuasive. It's a threat. I just had to obey it because I was threatened."

"We don't..."

"You admitted it in two replies, didn't you? That's why I never got that far."

"Oh, no... Hey, hey. What are we supposed to do?

After hearing everything, we are finally in a hurry to realize that we have made a mistake. The fact that I rode Princess Claudia's invitation wasn't something I had a deep idea about.

"I don't know. I don't know if Kamui will forgive me. At least lose this fight unnecessarily before you get hurt. Shame on you, maybe a little bit of Kamui's temper too"

Then we'll have a chance to show you what we can do.

"Are you an idiot!?

Without much thought, I finally broke my indulgence bag. Without worrying about my surroundings, I exhale my anger out loud.

"Hey, what?

"Kamui is trying to show us off. As if there were no other like them. That's what Kamui's doing over there. And then, they found out that we pissed off Kamui. The rest of my college life is going to be hard to live."

…………

If they listen to me like this, they don't feel like fighting anymore.

Without the need to take advantage of Kamui's advice to Sele, Deefleet's team quickly ruled the victory.

"Have you reflected a little?

"Really?

'Cause you didn't seem like you were gonna fight.'

"That's because Kamui threatened you, isn't it?

"No, because that general's third grader talked all the time with an angry face, I guess it's because of that"

"Yes."

"Let's remember that third grade. Looks like someone who can. I was fighting it right."

"Is that guy too?

"He doesn't like it though."

"What about the other two?

"Positive"

"It's not, do you forgive?

"Depends on where you go. But if you fight like that,"

I can't forgive you for betraying me, but I can't forgive you more for insulting my sword. This is what Kamui thinks.

"If you fight seriously, you won't forgive me for that."

"Forgiveness depends on how you get out after it's over. Well, I'll never forget that you can't be trusted."

"... fearful"

"Well, you're the princess next"

"What? No way, about the Princess Claudia?

"Yes."

"What's next?

"I need you to be ashamed of me. Then I'll go back to Hilda."

"Explain it properly."

"That later. Enemy from here again. I wish I could beat Mr. Oscar."

"Or I'll win."

"Well, good luck. Bye."

When I'm done with it, Kamui leaves with a completely heartless word of support.

"Sele. What is betrayal after all?

"I don't know. But when the Empress Claudia gets involved,"

"Oh, that one? So, betrayal?

"Isn't that a sword? Because Kamui will not tolerate insulting the sword."

Lutz, who didn't know what was going on, said something a little off, but that was something that I was comfortable with.

"Is that what you mean? But you get along well with Marie. Marie doesn't even want to hold her sword."

"You don't think we're getting along, but that's a little different."

"Where is it?

"It's not like you're not interested because you insult the sword. By the way, strong, weak doesn't matter. I wonder how they face the sword?

"I see. Okay, I get it."

In the end, Deefleet never found out the truth.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Come on, guys! Good luck with your next fight!

"Yeah, yeah."

Hilda was more perplexed than pleased with it, like too much Kamui tense.

"Show me your strength! Make your opponent skinless! Until you never feel like standing up to me again! Let's smash it! Whoa!"

"Ka, Kamui. This is a competition, isn't it?

"Hilda, always on the battlefield. Don't forget these words."

"... yeah, I know that"

"Well, that's a joke, but I'll have each one of you have a challenge in this match"

"Challenges"

"The production is the final game against Mr. Oscar's team. This match is the last exercise for that. First, Mr. Mathieu."

"Yes."

"It's an easy win if you just win. But that's not gonna be practice."

"Yes."

"You must not forgive them a single hand"

"Yes.... eh?

Crush the Princess Claudia's team by the time they are completely skinless. Kamui is serious.

"Mr. Mathieu has a little something important to say. Then you can't. Sometimes when strength comes to a close, you can decide what you want to win or lose."

"Feelings. I don't know what that means."

"It's how you feel about them, etc. You can't go without being alarmed. But if you overestimate them, they atrophy, and you can't do that either."

"Right. You'll see when they say that."

"So this is a challenge to make them feel scared. Please prevail. Show them strength and take room out of their minds."

"I understand the story. But at first hand,"

"Right. So I'll give you a hint this time. Opponents are actually, like Mr. Matthew, a bit of a big character. You can't get ahead of yourself first. And I don't even realize what they think."

"Don't hesitate to move at the same time as the start?

"That's right. So we can get ahead of ourselves. Later, it's the same as Mr. Rank's assignment. Attack him. Don't be afraid of his sword. Keep attacking him."

"Okay."

I'm not just putting him on board, but Kamui's advice was properly led from the results of the research. Where he convinced Matthew, Kamui turned to Gilberto.

"Mr. Gilberto."

"Yes."

"The challenge for Mr. Gilberto is to prevent the target from attacking. Opponents are confident in the attack. There's nothing to see but the most offensive."

"... if you win normally, can't you?

"It's a challenge. Please smash their confidence. And Mr. Gilberto, please be confident. Mr. Gilberto's protection is pretty good. Confirming that in action will give you confidence. Having a hand is necessary for the future."

"Okay."

Gilberto accepts Kamui's advice lightly. Advice in the first round was quite effective.

"And Mr. Rank"

"Ooh. What about me?

"It's a little difficult"

"... what?

"Please decide in one blow. I'll settle for the first shot."

"Hmm."

"To do this, you have to identify the person's structure, explore the person's intentions, and find gaps before the start signal."

"I see, is that the kind of challenge"

"That's right. If you're Mr. Rank, I think you can. Just in case you fail, don't frustrate me there. Kill them without stopping the attack. That's not unlike Mr. Rank's challenge."

"Okay."

And Matthias is next.

"What am I?

"Keeping your opponent's sword crossed. You can't even put your swords together. Please give me a break."

"How long should that last?

"Right. Shall we swing about fifty?"

"Fifty? Not a lot?

"Because it's practice. That's how many."

"Well, yeah,"

"Before that, the other guy might snap. He's the only one who can shake it anyway."

"... well, she is"

"If you can't wave your sword without fifty, let it end. Because it just takes time."

"Normally it ends."

"It's been a workout since I couldn't move? Oh, don't you train your opponents?"

"... ok"

And the last one is Hildegand.

"Kamui. What about me?

…………

"What about me?

"What do we do?

"Huh?

"Because the opponent is Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia. Setting up a challenge doesn't help them meet it."

"... right"

"I don't need to hit it. Shake it and you're sure to take a blow. Can I get you anything?

"There isn't..."

"Stop fighting?

"It also means not challenging a sword-held opponent to fight..."

"So is that. That's rude. Well, there's nothing disrespectful about Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia insulting the sword."

"... you still are"

Hildegand also thought about the meaning of the fact that Empress Claudia's team had been winning.

"I'm grabbing evidence. I can't help but grab it.... make you abstain?

"How?

"I frustrate my mind before I start. Outreach, if Hilda waves her sword with all her might, she could do it."

"No way......"

"Sorry, no advice this time either"

"... ok"

At that rate, the semifinals began. For the rest of us, there's a boring semi-final that doesn't look good at all.

Pioneer battle. Just five seconds to go. Mathieu victory for the Hildegand team.

Next sharp battle. Hit and change and unilaterally the next stronghold of the Princess Claudia team continues to attack. For twenty minutes indeed, Gilberto just keeps preventing it. The opponent loses his temper in an attack that does not hit him at all. Gilberto wins with a sword on his neck against an opponent who almost gave up.

Mid-level battle. Just a second to go. The opponent passed out after a single blow. Rank wins.

The victory of the Hildegand team was confirmed.

And the vice-general battle that became a digestive match.

"Don't run away!

"I didn't run away. I'm avoiding this."

"... don't run away!

"Avoiding"

Matthias kept avoiding all the swords that Theresa waved.

"To, run, don't!

"Thirty-eight"

"… to, escape"

"Thirty-nine."

"... Ha, ha, ha"

"Is it over?

"No, not yet."

"Forty."

…………

"Is it over? It'll save you a lot of trouble if you come in."

"... here we go"

Matthias wins because of Therese's inability to move.

And the last battle of generals begins. Hildegand and Empress Claudia. We don't have to do this. It's a game we know how it turns out.

Light warm-up before the game. From the side of Hildegand, I hear the wind cutting. What you have in your hand is a wooden sword.

But even if it's a wooden knife, even an amateur sword can see that it's not just sorry if it hits.

Princess Claudia's face on the other side is already bright blue.

"Bye. Last"

Kamui holds the wooden sword and stands in front of Hildegand.

"... what?

"Strike into this"

With that said, Kamui laid the wooden sword he had beside him and put it over his head.

"Oh, I see."

Hildegand taking a moment and taking a stand.

"... ahhh!

With the voice of temper, step forwards strongly and wave the sword.

Hildegand's sword broke Kamui's wooden sword in two.

"Nice. You're all set."

"Yes! I'm coming!

Hildegand advances to the battlefield with the will. And from the other side......, Theresa came forward.

"Your game is over."

"I ask Master Claudia to abstain. You can't keep your eyes open."

"Yes.... you've accomplished the assignment"

"What?"

"No, then I win."

With an abstention.

"Still, winning is winning"

"Good! Perfect!

It was a battle as I wanted it to be, and I was satisfied with Kamui.
