The Branded Female Fencer
City of Pleasure, Part 66 - In the Arena in Turam ② -
"Emerald, are you nervous?
"Hmm?
"... I guess I was extra worried. Are the rules okay?
"Yeah!"
"Then come as you wish. Have fun."
And when Emerald heard the word, he shone his face toward the arena. And the first battle was declared.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting! As you all know, this man will be the other side of the Tarram vigilante against us today! Make her one of the best beauties in the Tarram vigilante and take charge of your colors! Tatazine in 'Enchantment'!
What appeared with that name was a woman swordsman whose skin was also dewy. Wearing protective gear that is rarely used as armor and concealing oneself to an unfortunate degree is what demands battle at a glance. Tatazine herself was an impeccably beautiful woman, so many mercenaries thought that this was more of a dance (show) element than a battle. In fact, some did not even try to hide their expectations by whistling already.
But the first line that seemed to be on the stream looked at him with a sinister face.
"Tatazine. Don't you feel like you sound familiar?
Rosetta and Lisa answer the words of the line at about the same time.
"Tarram, then you're quite famous. Beside playing vigilante, even mercenaries work. Besides, I specialize in the battlefield. I guess the rank isn't that high because it doesn't last much longer, but it's still above the B"
"I'm certainly famous as a fighter specializing in colour, but I can't insult your prowess. It's a streak of wins in Tarram, isn't it? The result was 34 wins and 2 losses in 36 fights. Those two losses must have been deliberate to hear how to lose."
"Are you all right? And this battle..."
So the moderator puts in a commentary.
"Well, you know this battle is familiar with the arena! Tatazine good color rules! Winning conditions don't just drive opponents to surrender, they also include stripping them of all their costumes! To do this, you will be required to wear a daring, peelable costume! Of course, only women participate!
The audience was more excited by the moderator's commentary, but even the line was stunned by its content. Lisa and Rosetta, who knew the terms in advance, sighed.
"I don't have a choice. Tarram, then the battle is one of entertainment. If it's preferable to be bloody, you can go to the arena behind you. That's the kind of city we're in."
"I know this is ridiculous, but I hear this rule is exciting, right? Whatever, you don't have to be a fighter. During the festival time, even the average woman will participate in the product."
"Are all the inhabitants of this city Abao?
"Abo or whatever, it's made up, so I can't help it. So, are you sure Emerald's okay? Can I expose Halpuia to the public?
To Rosetta's words, Alphilis nodded without hesitation.
"It's okay, the inhabitants of this taram are tolerant. Anything a lot of good people do, as long as they enjoy it. Besides, I chose Emerald for two reasons. Assuming it turns out to be this rule, there's no way Emerald would be nervous if he was only used to wearing clothes close to naked. Even Rosetta's nervous about this rule, and she can only give you a few percent of her strength, right?
"Ugh... right. I just don't have a hobby of being stripped in front of the public."
"Isn't it? And I told Emerald to do it 'Don't hesitate, don't kill'. You don't know what Emerald is capable of."
"Strength? Then you're the owner of the Devil's Sword Impulse. Must be strong though."
Alphilis laughed and relayed the sentiment like a prank.
"I knew it was that much recognition, right? I'm so glad she's not the enemy. She, because she doesn't have much magic, is hardly the only way to wave impulses, and not many people have seen her fight with a sword. When you train, you rarely wave your sword at each other, do you?
"Speaking of which, you do"
"I found out recently, too. One day, he said, 'Alfi, I'm stronger. Renshu, I will'. I recently learned her true skill."
"You think you're really good at this?
"If you look at it, you'll see - it's time to get in."
As Alphilis put it, two big men with huge pine lights were revealed from the opposite of Tatazine, and the line of flames became the way to go to see if they had originally dripped oil when they pined the pine lights on the ground. In the meantime, an emerald walks in softly wrapped around the robe.
Watching her, Alphilis leaked blushing.
"Actually, I got an offer from Lilliam's side in advance regarding the terms... but if you can get a costume, do something about it. Because if the costume doesn't fit depending on your physique, you'll have trouble. Thanks to that, I know who you're dealing with for the first time, but maybe you shouldn't have asked Forminay."
"Why?
"It's a little flashy. Even though Emerald stands out."
As Emerald finished walking down the path of the Yang and jumped on the arena fluttering, he was at the same time taking off his robe thoughtfully. And he said, "Everyone in the room is hidden beneath it."
