The Branded Female Fencer

"... what? A duel?

Nia doubted my ear. That means there's no way to kill each other. Matching, putting on a win or loss by battle is what Gora suggested, but if it's a duel, it's like talking differently.

Nia was grabbing Yao's shoulder by accident.

"Yao, undo it! I can still handle it now. If it's a duel, we'll kill each other."

"Are you scared, sister?

"Why not?

Yao's derisive grin and his provocative words make Nia furious as well. But Yao continued.

"I thought it was my sister's turn, so I was shy, but I like Mr. Kazas a lot. I like males who don't have them. Mr. Kazas has a lot of knowledge, wisdom that I don't have. I'm sure he'll have a good offspring."

"And descendants..."

"So if your sister doesn't feel like it, I'll take it, him. I'm going to have an episode soon, given my age, and I always thought I didn't like it because of the influence of my father and mother, or even the right guy around here. But Mr. Kazas is fine. I don't mind accompanying anything as it is my turn.

Besides, it's only natural for animals to think about their offspring. Females are attracted to better males. And vice versa. What a waste of Kazas for your sister. "

"What the hell! Whatever your sister may say and bad things!

Nia's fierceness was sauntered by Yao.

"Aren't you the one who's forgotten? For the beast man, strength is everything. The powerless have no choice but to obey the powerless. That's better than a blood connection, an absolute code. If your sister loses in a duel, you have to obey me, and if you avoid a duel, your sister and her parents' honor will remain lost for the rest of their lives. Well, what do you think we should do?

"Gu... ku"

Nia got stuck responding. Whatever you think, if you get a duel here, you'll be ashamed of yourself as a beast man. At least, I'm spared the slander of being a warrior. Nia decided to be ready.

"... fine. Let's take that duel."

"Naturally, you will. Then decide when you want..."

"Hey, before you do, can you do one thing from me?

Kazas raised his hand and asked to speak. Attention comes naturally.

"It kind of ignores my opinion, it's like a prize..."

"Oh, no. This is-"

"Anything to complain about?

Nia tried to fix it and Yao claimed his rights even as a matter of course. Kazas looks at Yao a little surprised by that attitude.

"There's a lot of it. You're stronger than I thought, Mr. Yao."

"Naturally. I wouldn't hesitate if I had something I wanted. There's nothing good to be hesitant about."

"I see. To be honest, it's not a pain in the ass. It's also an extremely masculine idea."

Yao blushed out of embarrassment at the words, but Kazas made one suggestion with a strange face.

"May I have one from me, too? No, if it's going to be a prize, I'd love to make a suggestion."

"... go ahead."

"I will specify when and where to fight. Either way, I'll have to stand here in six months. Because we need to get to the Alphilis and the others. Whatever the outcome of the battle, right?

And whichever wins, I ask you not to disturb my departure. I was stubborn to look like this, and even if I tried to lock myself up here, I'd get out of here in some way. If I can swallow these terms, I can be the winner's. "

"Yeah, that's good."

Yao responded instantly. I guess it's like you don't think you'll lose yourself. In large part, Nia looks at Kazas with a puzzled look.

"May I have Mr. Nia, too?

"Uh-oh. That would be fine."

"Then the battle is over. The battle is about six months later, at the Wind Pavilion. 10 days before my departure."

Kazas proclaimed exalted, but didn't even dare look at Nia's suspicious face.
