The Branded Female Fencer
City of Pleasure, Part 71 - In the Arena at Tarram (7) -
"Damn, why!?
"Childish killing is a waste of time. I don't want to kill you, but I'm terrified of where you're going. If you're not ready, you shouldn't be up here."
When Elsia turned herself over, she ran to pick up a spare weapon that was installed around the arena. But a wooden sphere hit him right in the back from behind. Elsia falls at the front, to a surprise and a heavier blow than she thought.
"Hey, how do you know exactly where I am?
"Hide as much footsteps as you can. When warriors become quite skilled, they can fight even if they close their eyes."
"Damn. Whoa."
It was at the same time that I heard Elsia's regrettable voice and an unexpected judgment for Skinny.
"Two against three. Skinnys advantage!
"... what?
Unexpected score. Even if I am 3 points because I hit the back of Elsia, how is it that I am being scored? Earlier bagged eyeballs to the face should not be activated, even if they were subject to subtraction.
Skinnis questioned the referee.
"Why not, referee? What's been activated?
"The pebble is hitting my tibia. deemed valid as a throwing attack."
"What?
It was unexpected for Skinny as well. Elsia was throwing stones with her opposite hand, at the same time rolling out the poke with one hand. A mere splash of stone will not be effective, but a weapon thrown with a clear intent will be effective even from the top of the armor. Elsia had checked the scoring rules before the game.
And while Skinny was bewildered, Elsia recovered her weapon and stayed where she thought she was. Skinny said yes. Elsia stood right behind the referee. The audience turned to this as well.
"Oh, you are"
"What, there can't be a rule that we shouldn't use the referee as a shield?
"But how do we compete in that state? Instead, I'm in my favor."
"I won't. At the time of this form, my win. About."
Elsia threw something. It took Skinny too long to figure out what it was that went through Skinny's head and also fell behind his back. I haven't got my sight back yet. Only sound is a state of reliance.
I hear something rubbing on the spot.
"Is this - solo?
"Kura eh!
Elsia threw a small stone at an unexpected speed toward the solo she threw on the floor. When the stone hit the spinning solo, he played the stone and made it a bounce. And Elsia threw more than one wooden sphere on the ground at the same time. Spinning balls on the ground jump at irregularities on the floor of a broken arena in numerous battles and at the same time hit Skinnis.
Exposed to flying gear in such a way that he was pinched back and forth, Skinny defended himself by trying to hold the robe in reflexively. Either way it is impossible to prevent everything, even if you are blind. and at the same time rinse the eyeballs with the water they have been planted with. Vision was secured.
"3-for-9, Elsia!
I can hear the referee. Apparently, the match isn't over yet. It was only luck that he survived the storm of attack, but Skinnis tried to keep Elsia in sight to fight back quickly. I still don't hear footsteps, and I'm not willing to kill you. It should not have moved from the earlier position.
There shouldn't have been a second until Skinny woke up. But...
"Ugh!"
When Skinny captured Elsia in sight, the battle was never there. The tip of Elsia's sword had captured the exact position of Skinny's heart.
Elsia's sharp gaze shot through Skinnis. Skinny knows what that gaze means, though it hasn't been a valid hit yet. Exhaling so much, Skinny was declaring his surrender.
The venue burst into joy. in Elsia's early years. I didn't know what to do with Elsia, and the referee had urged me to finally name the winner. Try to circle the arena stage as it is and go around greeting the winner as usual. It was supposed to be a consideration to remember her face and make it a high stake in the future, but because Elsia wasn't used to it, all she had to do was wave small with the light all the time.
And when I finally got back to my holding room, my buddies were waiting for me to wash their hands. Elsia to be screwed.
"You bastard, this guy!
"Wow, Elsia!
"Well, you don't have to admit it."
When she heard a voice that only sounded like Gail's defeat, Elsia was looking for nature and layers as she was stroked around her head. But there was no shadow or shape in the layers already. Layer was back at work before Elsia returned when he saw through Elsia's game.
Lunatica was speaking when she left the room.
"You used to collect solo music and balls in a short time?
"I used to collect them. You have to use anything to make Elsia win. It was me who put the solo music there like a decoration. Instead, he kept round balls and solo music there to catch the eye."
"Did you guide the way to fight? Still, what I accomplished was Elsia's strength. You're not gonna work for me?
"I do think I let it live well. But because if you're going to fight, I want Elsia to be stronger. I won't say anything about this. She's going to grow soon."
"Tough."
"Kindness."
The layers looked faceless, but Lunatica, who often looked at each other, knew it. Whatever the tone, that look clearly delighted Elsia's victory.
