I beat Rays in the first round, and on that wave I continued to win the second round and the third round.

And finally the best four-advanced the pieces to the semifinals.

"Now, the One-Year War is finally over! We'd like to thank the swordsmen who have survived many death battles!"

Speaking of the commentary, crackling applause was sent to us on the stage.

It was me, Leah, Rose and Tessa who advanced the pieces to the semifinals.

"Allen, finally ...!"

"Here is the actual performance ..."

"Oh, let's have a good game!"

So when we were talking with each other,

"Hey, don't you forget me?"

Tessa shrugged and said so.

Sharpen Zantetsu style and strong body-I can not forget him who is one of A's best abilities.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to fighting Tessa."

"Hehe, that's not it."

And just after the conversation has settled down,

"Now we will decide the semi-final match card!"

The live-action girl shouted loudly and put her hand in a transparent box with a small ball.

"Now, the first game of the first game of the semi-finals is now out!-The evil star who has won almost intact!-Allen-Rodol!"

At that moment, the audience seats were greatly heated.

(... Evil star)

I can understand the necessity of exciting the venue from the standpoint of commentary, but ...

If you can, think of a little more descriptive name ...

"And on the contrary: the legendary secret sword that was said to be invincible! Ichiko Soden's Sakuraka Ichiryu, the successor to the legitimacy: Rose-Valencia!"

When the live comment introduces Rose very much,

"Kee, Rose!"

"Here, turn here!"

"Please do your best! Oh, I support you ...!"

Yellow cheering occurred.

If you look, many schoolgirls in the seat of the auditorium were waving to Rose.

Apparently she seems to be popular from the same sex.

(Well, Rose is cool ...)

Dignified features with red eyes.

Pinkish silver hair extending to the back.

It's extremely weak only in the morning, but it might be an attractive weak point depending on how you look at it.

When I was thinking about that, Rose smiled with a militant smile.

"I've been looking forward to this time since I lost at the Kenbu Festival."

"I've always been looking forward to exchanging swords with Rose. Today I'll do my best with all my might!"

Then when I give my right hand,

"Of course I'm going!"

Rose holds his hand tight.

"Well, are you ready for it ?! Then the first semi-final match-the beginning!"

At the start of the match, Rose and I pulled out the sword.

Each other's attitude is exactly the same-the sword is in front of the navel, a straight-eyed attitude.

The eyes of Rose intersect with me, and the tense air flows into the venue.

(It's been a long time to confront Rose in this way ...)

The swords exchanged at the Kenbu Festival have been light for more than six months.

At that time, I never dreamed of going to the same swordsmanship school.

"... I'll go, Allen."

"Ahh"

The next moment I nodded.

"..."

Rose is already close to his eyes and nose.

Cut off the opponent's breathing and walk through the gaps in consciousness – she's good at moving.

(I knew it would come, but the response was still a beat late ...)

As usual, it is a terribly advanced body handling (body mackerel).

"Sakura Ichito-Ryu-Sasen!"

Rose releases a sharp thrust with full weight without killing any speed.

In response to a blow hit straight into the fuselage, I strike with exactly the same angle of incidence.

"--Hah!"

The point of the sword and the point of the sword exactly collided with one millimeter of the tip, creating an antagonistic state.

This sequence is exactly the same as the previous one.

(Attack here ...!)

When you drop your center of gravity and dive into Rose's pockets at once.

"The same hand doesn't work ...!"

She had been reading my moves and had already moved on to the next attack.

"Sakura Ichito-ryu-Yozakura!"

It's a terrible kesagiri that won't stop in your eyes.

(Fast ...?!?)

Simultaneously with approach-White blade (hakujin) released at perfect timing.

If you were me in the old days, you wouldn't even be able to react and you would have been killed.

But now, after overcoming a number of deadlines-not an unavoidable level!

"--Sweet!"

I evaded that blow with a piece of paper,

"Lie ...!?"

A strong kick was released to her empty trunk.

"Guh ...!?"

Rose's feet leave the stage and blow off greatly.

(…… Rose is really good.)

She immediately defended Mizoochi with her left arm.

Probably almost no damage to the internal organs-there will be no hindrance to continuing the battle.

Rose made a full turn in the air and killed the shock, immediately taking the stance of the eye.

"Sure, indeed ... strong ..."

"Rose is now a dangerous blow .... I can't compare the sharpness and body handling of Kenbu Matsuri ..."

"Thank you ... but we're still here."

After that, the exchange of intense sword fights was repeated.

"Woooooooooo!"

"Huh oh oh oh!"

The high sound of the collision of iron and iron resounds, and sparks scatter.

After a minute and a half, the flow of the game gradually-but definitely leaned toward me.

"Sakura Ichito-Ryu-Raiou!"

Iai slash like thunder,

"Sir!"

I forcibly cut from top to bottom.

"Ku ... what?"

And where her defense went down,

"Ichi no Tachi-Hiei!"

"..."

Shooting fast-projecting shots from a short distance will surely cause damage.

"..."

"Huh huh ..."

I keep my eyes straight and intact.

On the other hand, Rose suffered considerable damage and was breathing on his shoulder.

What is so advantageous about this is that in addition to the simple difference in muscle strength, it is important to see her quirks.

(Rose tends to unconsciously dislike doing the same trick in succession ...)

Three techniques were used in this battle: Sakurabane, Yozakura, and Sakura.

(The next move is probably ...)

To turn this disadvantage over, you're going to do that great trick you haven't used yet.

Then

"Sakuraka Ichiryu Mystery: Kyokazazan!"

As expected, Rose gave off the secret of Sakura Ichito.

Against me,

"Sakuraka One-Sword Style Mystery: Kagami Sakura!"

We intercepted with exactly the same technique.

Every four strikes from the left and right like a mirror match-eight slashes that do not stop in the eyes collide violently.

The result was one-sided.

"Kuh ... Kyu !?"

The Kagami Sakura that I released easily breached the Kagami Sakura of Rose, causing her great damage.

"Why ... why? ..."

She mutters with an expression that she cannot believe.

"The difference between muscle strength and direction (vector) ..."

There is a big difference between me and Rose in the strength that is the base of swordplay.

Furthermore, I had foreseen that Rose would release Kagami Sakura next, and released Kagami Sazan diagonally to her slashing-in a direction to kill the momentum.

Force and direction.

It was only natural that my Kagami Sakura would take advantage of both.

"..."

"..."

After that, the commentary began to speak when the situation was temporarily stuck.

"--Who would have predicted that it would be a one-sided match so far !? Unless I mistakenly saw it, Allen's trick was the one-children's Sakuraka Ichitoru Indeed, the king of evil! Is he stealing the opponent's skill !? "

Pia, the evil emperor ...

(Huh .... Already ... please tell me like ...)

Rose sighed as I sighed in my heart.

"After all, Allen is strong ... I'm sorry, but my defeat in pure swordsmanship ..."

Despite the bearish language, a strong fight was in her eyes.

(Is it coming at last ...)

I increased my alertness and watched her every move.

"But I won't lose this game!"

At the same time as she declared so powerfully, she was under intense pressure to pierce her skin.

(No doubt, Rose is already-expressing ...)

And the next moment,

"Dyed-!"

A huge cherry tree appeared behind her.

A splendid thick trunk that makes you feel powerful.

Blooming in full blossom – scarlet fireworks with a mysterious luster.

(……it's beautiful)

The cherry blossoms were so stunning that they forgot the flow of time.

"-Collection"

Rose muttered so short that the cherry blossoms were concentrated in her hands-forming a sword.

A blade that emits a beautiful scarlet.

Vivid ripples.

Inscrutable pressure from the entire sword.

I knew at a glance that it was not a normal sword.

"--Allen, are you going?"

"... Oh, come on!"

One-Year War Semifinals: Desperate struggle with Rose has entered the final phase.
