"Lie ... that attack is so easy ..."

Lelia Evangelista who plays her voice.

"... it's my fault"

Melia Evangelista said, holding her fist firmly.

"sister?"

The National Magic Tournament "Owen Kingsbury never played countermeasures against his opponents in the past four times.

Melia looks down and says:

"I just didn't need to do it. There wasn't anyone I could ever figure out that I needed to do, and I did something for the first time today that I thought was a threat."

"Maybe my magic has defeated the first grader of unexplored magicians-"

"It was a move we were taking completely, and he was completely absorbed in the information that we had no action to take."

A strongly grasped fist was shaking.

"If I didn't give the wrong information, there would have been more wins ..."

"sister……"

Lelia softly hands on her sister's shoulder.

"The game isn't over yet. Until the last moment, it's magical so you don't know what's going on. Now, let's cheer for us with the best we can."

"... Yeah, and the goddess of victory doesn't seem to be completely turned away."

"e?"

"Owen Kingsbury doesn't go to stab the stop. I'm vigilant. The untrodden wizard may have gone through that blow without taking much damage. So avoid approaching and stay safe. I'm going to fight in a long-haul, long-sighted place where I can undoubtedly win.

Melia stares at Arvis, who pierces a hole in the archeological site.

"But this should give you a chance to attack again. It's a very low chance, but there's still a chance to win."

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

I had a very pleasant dream.

It was a park full of fresh grass, and I had a picnic with Ellis.

Ellis calls me who lies on her back and sleeps in the soft sun.

"Get up, brother."

"A little more. Just a little more."

"No, it's time to get up, brother."

Ellis's favorite voice comes down.

"Time? Did something happen?"

"Because everyone is waiting for my brother."

"I'm more important to Ellis than everyone."

"Thank you. But my brother has more important people than me. It's time to work hard for them."

I think so.

Ellis is more important than anything else, and he wants to be happy even if he enemies all over the world.

But there are friends and seniors who want to win separately.

"Arvis-kun. Get up, Arvis-kun."

wake up.

Rubble of a collapsed archeological site.

Under the dust and blue sky, Fiona's short hair was shaking.

"Are you safe?"

"I'm a little tolerant of flaming magic. I knew it was right and the magic barrier was in time, and Owen looked at Arvis at that time, not me."

"Me?"

"I was going to invite you from the beginning, so my attack on me was a bit sweeter than usual, but I was barely spared and I didn't have the strength to fight as usual. "

Fiona's voice is faint.

"I'm glad I survived. I just can't win anymore."

"It's not just me. There's another child who escaped only from destroying it."

"One more person?"

"Is consciousness back?"

It was Eve who appeared in a fluffy manner.

"Are you safe?"

"I was just barely able to put an ice wall on the surface of the body, because he was more vigilant of me than linary."

"Linary?"

"I think it's probably because I shot that great before."

Indeed, I understand.

It seems that Linary's ridiculous blow was enough to warn Owen Kingsbury.

"Is the teacher still able to fight?"

"... Severe. Just standing and doing my best"

Senior Fiona to support Eve and sit down.

"It's a very difficult situation ..."

Heavy silence flows.

Senior Fiona is probably wondering if we can do more than that-

"I can still do it. I can win."

So, I said.

"e?"

"I have to earn Ellis's surgery costs. I can't stop in such a place. Because the provisional universe's strongest cool I will knock down such a copy guy. He seems to be unable to copy my magic."

"I can still do it ..."

It was tattered Eve.

"It's the first time we're fighting together like this. I want to fight for everyone until the end. I want to win."

Senior Fiona opens her eyes with a surprise.

I said.

"There is a strategy."

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

side: Memories, Fiona Riet

"I am the captain?"

Fiona was appointed captain of the Royal Granvaria late last summer.

It was when a third grader retired and joined a new team.

"I wonder if Fiona is the only one. In my second year, Fiona's ability is outstanding."

"But I'm not the type of person who pulls everyone around me. Rather, it's more about supporting me as a deputy captain."

"I think it's the best, but I don't see any other child who could be the captain. To put it in perspective, it's Grougian, but he definitely wouldn't like this."

"that is……"

"Please! I've entrusted Fiona with the future of the team!"

I thought that the captain wasn't a type that could be done, but I had to say that much.

(Let's do our best because we were asked, so that we could make a team as good as our seniors.)

Fiona worked hard to be a good captain.

I read a leadership book at the library and studied calling out to my teammates.

I can practice a lot and talk in front of everyone I am not good at.

(This team lacks individual strength. Someone has to raise a child with high personal ability.)

What I noticed was a freshman who didn't know what he was thinking.

She came from a rural area and stumbled on making friends and seems to be unable to adjust to school.

In this situation, schools may be quit.

As a senior, I have to make a place to stay.

I don't want to do anything if I don't want to be a force.

"It doesn't make sense to me, seniors."

Always alone.

He looks at the surroundings with his eyes like a dog with a strong caution.

"It makes sense for me. If I can get along with Chloe who feels so lonely, I'll be very happy as a senior."

"... Senior, it's changed."

Chloe was always cold, but she gradually opened her heart over time.

Before the fall meeting, please say, "... I'll do my best for my seniors."

I'm glad

I'm really happy.

Thanks to my hard work, everyone on the team really loved me.

With this team, we can win even in the autumn tournament.

Such pale expectations were shattered in the second round.

(I can't beat one ...)

He was completely defeated without being able to defeat St. Aires.

That's where the gears went wrong.

No matter how much you practice, no result is obtained even if you practice.

What you can do in practice will not be possible in the game.

Match results that should not have been for A-ranked schools continued.

The words of contempt come out of nowhere.

"The weakest generation"

"Painting the history with mud"

"Embarrassed as an OB"

Notoriety reinforces the movement of the team.

I can't lose anymore.

I have to win.

Mistakes are never allowed.

Frightened, nervous, self-destructed.

In such a team, Fiona killed her feelings and behaved dignifiedly.

(If you fall down to me, your team will finally be ruined. That's why you need to behave positively and cheerfully.)

But in fact Captain Fiona is more hurt than anybody by the words of contempt.

Fiona was gradually worn away.

I was afraid to play the game.

What if I lose?

What do you say?

I can't sleep at night.

Before the game, he vomited everything he had eaten.

"Fio-senpai isn't bad! Bad things are those who can't support him ..."

The gentle junior practiced a lot and grew up, but he became a good vice captain.

Still, the rolling team could not be rebuilt.

"I can still catch up! I can fight! 』

Even if you shout hard,

"I can't, in this situation ..."

The legs of the team are always stopped ...

So Fiona was surprised.

"I can still do it. I can win. "

"I can still do it ..."

The opponent is Owen Kingsbury, the strongest player in the generation.

They didn't give up at all, even though I thought it would be impossible.

(Really ... really dependable ...)

The atmosphere of the team has really improved since the first grade.

Win, win, win-

And I'm playing at Wembley, a longing holy land.

Unbelievable.

The scenery I was dreaming of.

A teammate who supports me.

Everything you want is here.

What ...

How happy you are!

I smiled unexpectedly.

I wish this game would last forever.

But such a wish will never come true-

Let's play the best at least until the end.

Yes, Fiona thought.
