The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 145 - Beast General's Pride
In contrast to Yao, who burns his fighting spirit, Lunca was suddenly pulling up at his own loss. I didn't mean to be alarmed, but defeat is still unacceptable. The injury is no big deal, but the shock I have suffered is too great and my feet are fluttering. At its destination were the same beast generals Roch and Cerio waiting.
"... you've done a brilliant job, Lunca"
"- Yes."
"You got off guard?
"No, I lost on strength. I didn't mean to alarm you."
Roch also knows that there was no alarm in Lünca. Rather, as for them beastmen who could kill their opponents if they did everything in their power, they had decided to make some additions or subtractions. Whatever it is, it's a festival. You can't let dead or seriously wounded people out at a festival. I take that into account all the more, especially as a member of the military of Gruzaldo, who is in a delicate position in the human world.
But the opponent was not a warrior in the realm like a handful, and Lunca was totally serious on the way. Roch had also spotted Lunca's last blow intent. instantaneously, but Lunca said he was fighting with the intention of killing Ursus. Still, the virus surpassed it.
I had not predicted such an end and Roch was also having trouble with the following words: Though a relatively world-class Roch, it doesn't translate into being a lousy mouthpiece. You boiled your business on those two, Cherio came pinching your mouth.
"Damn, you're so embarrassed. It's Mr. Lünca. The name of the Beast General will cry."
"... you don't have a word to give back."
"That's why you're going to miss Mireille."
"Hey, Cherio. That's too much!
Ursus blues even more, Roch roars. But Cherio won't weaken his tone.
"No, let me tell you something. Look, it's Mr. Lunca. We, the Beasts of Gruzaldo, must always prove our strength. Why didn't the humans destroy the Beasts during the war? Because he feared our claws and our fangs for their combat power.
But time went by, and humans grew in numbers, creating weapons, tactics, and sorcery that could fight us. Honestly, the total power of the beast man today and the total power of the human world. Then it's a digit difference. If humans tried to eliminate us and occupy the land, even Groussard would not be immune to annihilation.
It's good for the Beast Man to lose. But in a simple martial arts tournament, it's out of the question that a beast general loses like no other. The Beast General must continue to win in order to brave the Beasts and give them pride. Otherwise, the beasts will one day be treated less than animals by humans. "
"Don't fight if you're enough to lose or expose the unusual. We can win. We just have to fight. Order your liver."
"Keep it that way, Cherio"
Instead of Roch roaring this time, he embarrassed Cerio. Chelio's statement was that Roch was about to snort, and he was also impressed that Chelio, who was not usually sure what he was thinking, was serious about the future of the Beastman.
Cherio still said something. He did, but I heard him calling his name from the venue and proceeded to the venue.
Roch spoke to Lünca when Cerio was gone.
"Lünca. Cerio's way of saying it is harsh, but I have the same idea. Even though it's a festive pastime, it's unacceptable for us to lose easily to humans. Not to mention bare hands. I admit they were strong. But I believe you have a problem with the cunning, the course leading up to the battle."
"Problem, what?
"You are too bad or too honest. The battle depends on what preparations you have made by then. Training and training are the most important things, but it is important to prepare below.
Cherio is known as a workout hater, but he's not. He comes from a warm and cowardly Blue Mouse tribe, but was famous as a bloody young man when he was still new to the army. So much for temperament absurdity that it surpasses Vargo.
As it emerged, it held back the absurdity of temperament and worked on academics. And worship the General of the Beast. Nay, the workout was done inconspicuously, making the union between the beasts rare. In case he loses to his men and never drops his name. The Beast runs away from it, but it's one truth that if you don't fight, you can't lose. "
"But then I can't fulfill my duties as a beast general. Isn't it our Beast General's mission to fight?
"No, Lunca. Our mission is to win. I'm sure you're wrong about Vargo."
Roch denied it.
"Since becoming Cherio's Beast General, all his achievements have been won, large and small. He doesn't fight, he doesn't fight until he has the certainty to win.
At this tournament, their combination is announced. No, they run around the venue to gather information about their opponents. At night, I was training to assume my next opponent.
Besides, since I've been here, I've been buying books and collecting information that I can't get at Gruzaldo. Were you up to that?
"... no"
"Cherio said that. Sure, one thing about Mireille is a stain for me, too. There can be no telling anywhere, such as the beast man who defeated the beast general and deserted his troops. Not to mention that if we find out that it was defeated by humans and became mercenaries, Gruzaldo's fame can't fall to the ground. Me and Vargo have been bitten by Mireille, so I can't tell you the big deal."
"Yes - I will come more heartily to my day too"
"Oh, each other."
Roch stepped toward the venue as he laid his hand on Lünca's shoulder.
"Come on, the next Cherio opponent is apparently Urs and his fellow Yakuza. Cherio was getting ready for something, but let's see what happens."
"Yes."
Roch and Lünca took together to see the Cherio game.
