The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Now then, we will begin the first Spirit of the Forest!

I will finish my opening remarks and take a seat at the table. [M] Next to them was Crore, the guest Lord Redgard...... Faye's father, and Rene.

"I'm looking forward to it! I'm looking forward to it!"

”I wonder if I can look forward to it... well, okay?”

"Onii-chan, onii-chan. Are you frightened? Angel is fine!"

And there were three children in the rescue seat, one in Phoenix, one in Phoenix, and one in Phoenix.

... all of you who were just going to ask Crore to marry you are very friendly, but they are also properly applying to participate in the "Martial Arts Games in Solaïla", so I won't hear any complaints.

Although participants have been applying for more and more matches to obtain the right to ask for a marriage to Croa-san, in the name of this game, it is called "Spiritual Match". The point is, it's a duel to show me.

... somehow, Solaire is the best place to duel. After all, there are Phoenix, Phoenix, and Phoenix, so even if someone gets injured, it's okay.

"And most of all..."

Laocles, do your best.

Yeah.

I have a knight who likes to fight.

So I think Sola is the perfect place for a game like this.

This is a tournament. In other words, there are people who can't fight Lao Cres, but about that, I said, "I'm the finalist." If you want to fight me, you can win. "

The people who want to fight Lao Cres... that is, the people who want to propose to Crore are mostly people who don't have much chance of winning even if they bump into Lao Cres directly in front of them. So it seems that there is still a chance of winning the tournament if you bet on the possibility of being lucky enough to hit the place where Lao Cres is drained.

And a handful of people like "I want to propose to Croatia and I can fight Laocles" are happy to have the opportunity to appeal to Croatia's strength at such a dueling tournament. Well, that's why the complaint subsided.

Then, the game is a surrender, and there are off-site rules. If it falls off the stage I painted, I lose. I also allowed the use of weapons, but not magic, poison, and summon beasts. It's a form of pure martial arts and power to win.

... as far as I was concerned, I wanted to see the battle of magic ants, but if I did that, the stage would collapse immediately... until I could develop a stage that was resistant to magic, it would be just a martial arts match.

Ugh, I want to draw magic too. I want to draw, so let's do our best to draw a very sturdy stage quickly...

Now, let's do it.

After Laocres takes the oath, the tournament begins.

That said... most of the participants are suitors to Crore, so it's mostly a battle between suitors and suitors.

There is not much to see in such a game. Even with me, I don't draw much. [M] However... a handful of the participants will play well-seeming matches.

"Hehehe. It's been a long time since I've been like this."

Looking at Faye, who was laughing and pretending to be a skinny sword, while saying such a thing, I felt somewhat strange.

... Faye doesn't have much magic, doesn't use much magic, and isn't good at martial arts either. I was wondering if you didn't want to come out like this, but it seems like this.

Well, that's enough to entertain the eyes of the Spirit of the Forest!

Faye said that and winked at me. Apparently, Faye wanted to participate in the festival, even if she didn't like what she did. Well, it looks like him.

With the signal of Stance, Faye and the opponent each set their weapons.

... this is the first time I've seen my best friend put up a weapon.

Faye's weapon was a slender sword. Mio, when I saw Faye's serious face staring straight at the opponent with a sword with a sharp blade, I thought, "Ah, my best friend is cool."

At the same time, Faye stepped in and swung out her thin, supple blade and slashed into the opponent.

When the opponent took Faye's sword and slashed it towards Faye, Faye took it at the root of the sword and flushed it, immediately striking the next move.

... my eyes were impressive.

Whether it's because of nervousness or just trying to get a little more information, the eyes are bigger than usual. Its gleaming scarlet color. The serious and straight look was very impressive.

Oh, I remember him as a descendant of a dragon. That's the way it is.

There it is!

Faye's sword, screaming at him like a bark, rushed straight toward the opponent. The opponent managed to catch Faye's attack with his sword, but the flexible sword immediately changed its trajectory and rushed around the opponent's chest.

And the moment the opponent was frightened, Faye...

Alright, I got it!

When I thought I was shouting cheerfully, I shook my sword and rushed as I dazzled the opponent...

Alright!

... and knocked the opponent to the ground with a jump kick, put the tip of the sword against the fallen opponent's neck, and took one.

Cheng Jie. You don't fight with pure swordsmanship, Faye. I think he looks very much like him, including this kind of place.

There was a battle, and after hearing her proclamation, Faye finally relieved the tension. Hmph, exhale, breathe a little roughly, and then.

"Toogo! We did it!"

With a full smile, he waved his hand at me.

"That was cool!"

As soon as I waved back, Faye winked and bowed like a stage actor to the rest of the audience.

... after that, Faye's footsteps got a little tense as she stepped off the stage. Oh, I'm sure she was pretty nervous.... my best friend is so cute, including that kind of thing!

So, if I were watching Faye,

"Yo, yo, yo, yo! Yuriyapuppuppuppuppuppuppuppuppu!?"

"Huh? What? What? Puppy...?"

Rene stuck to me with a desperate face, so I didn't really know, but I hugged her back for now. After doing so for a while, Renée seemed somewhat satisfied and walked away with a fudge.... was it cold?

Faye wasn't the only one joining us today. And of course, Roses, Talk, and Lao Cres are also part of it... and Rugulos is part of it too.

I was a little surprised, but when Fay invited me, Mr. Rugulos also took part. "I will definitely lose to Red Gard!" As I looked at Mr. Rugulos who was enthusiastic, I think he was burned like this.

"Hmm! I can't do what the Red Gard can do!"

... and such a Rugulos-san had just beaten his opponent beautifully with his sword.

Well, there was no jumping kick mixed up like Fay, and it was purely a "sword technique".

A sword that wasn't the type to look like Faye's sword, but it wasn't that big a sword, was a design that seemed to look like Mr. Lugulos.... it's a bit like the Sword of Light.

And since Mr. Rugulos had been working as a [Hero] for some time, he seemed to be practicing his sword quite well. I was used to it.

”Mr. Rugulos is amazing too... I wonder if I can fight like that if I practice as well”

"Oh dear, please don't do this to me, Togo."

I wish I could be like that, but Crore says that and laughs and pokes me in the face.

"You don't have to learn the art of fighting." You're strong enough. "

"... yes? Even though I'm stretching the roots of a tree."

"That's fine." Your biggest weapon is, "You can't look like you can fight." That's one of the fine tactics of keeping the opponent at bay. "

Ms. Crore giggles and strokes my head. Renée strokes my head as she watches it.

... hmm, I wish I could be like Faye or Mr. Lugulos, but I know it's not a good fit, so... I'll stick to this policy. Okay.

"My brother's out, so I'm out, too."

It was Mr. Rose's turn next. He joined the fight with the same slender sword as Faye.

... but it was very, very strong.

As opposed to Faye, Roses came to the battle with a slight narrowing of his eyes, and he felt an unbearable attack on the opponent, and took one of them lightly.

I was more skillful than Faye. Hmm, amazing. Rock, Mr. Roses... "

"I knew you were amazing."

Faye, who had a slightly complicated look at Mr. Roses, who had just stepped out of the stage after a quick victory, laughed a little and said, "I'm just training, Faye!" I was stroking Faye's head.

Hmm, including this kind of place, Mr. Roses, oniisan, you know.

Rosé-san, you're strong.

"Oh, Rosés is talented in both martial arts and sorcery." Well, he's a proud son. "

When I spoke to Faye's father, he was staring at Mr. Roses and Faye's head caressing each other.

"On the other hand, Faye wasn't so good at martial arts or magic... well, that straightness was his weapon." Faye, who doesn't want to explore each other's stomach more than Rosé, who plays with speech, is pretty good at diving into people's hearts. "

Faye's father narrowed his deep red eyes gently... and eventually said that he was a bit illuminated.

"... well, we're both proud of our son."

I think so.

When I saw Faye's father, who had become like this, I envied him somehow. Whether you envy Faye, Mr. Rose, or your father... I'm not sure. But I don't know, I envy you. At the same time, there was a smile.

Then there was Mr. Talk's turn, and he took one while the opponent was being tampered with by the usual fluffy sword technique.

Talc's weapons were two slender swords. It's like dancing with a fluttering sword, and it's so beautiful.

After winning, Tark-san bowed as he spun around like a fluttering dance. Hmm, people in the country at night have a different beauty than humans. This is why I want to draw.

Taruku!

When René cheered, Tark noticed her and waved her gloves. At the same time, he fluttered the hem of the cloak....... even where there's a bit of a tea curse, it's a good thing for Talk.

"It's been a long time since I've had a gala like this."

... and the next person to come was Interlia.

She's in the fight. I thought Mr. Marssen was going to stop, but on the contrary, the couple are competing together.

Interlia used swords and shields to fight like a knight. It's a bit like how Lao Cres fights, but it's more lightweight than Lao Cres.

... it seems that the other person was a little alarmed, thinking that Interlia-san was a woman. But, Interlia-san, you're even stronger than the men around you. That's right, she's a knight in the woods.

Therefore, the opponent, who was lightly stabbed in the abdomen with a very sharp and relentless sword, was immediately taken to the ambulance and taken care of by Phoenix.... somehow, it's my first serious injury since this game started.

Carnelia said, "Don't underestimate Interlia! My knight, the knight of the woods, the daughter-in-law of Marsen, is determined to be strong!" He was sitting next to Phoenix. When I heard that, Interlia-san was shining. Me too. [M]

Mr. Interlia was followed by Mr. Marsen. He usually fights with swords that I can't lift...

"I'll try to follow Ed, too." Come on, come on. "

... because you saw Laocres doing it, Marsen, you decided to fight with your bare hands. A pose that places the sword on the spot and provokes the opponent with a fistless fist.

When you flinch at the opponent with the sword, you move your body like a mass of muscle surprisingly smoothly, and you turn around and kick the opponent's back.

So when the opponent stepped on the battlefield, he seized the opponent and took the sword away, and said, "Got it!" This is the end of the match.

... I'm glad I was able to reconfirm the strength of the Knights of the Forest.

Carnelia also said, "It's Interlia's husband! Don't make me weak! Of course!"

... so... the duel is going to go on smoothly... at last.

Oh, you're the Commander of the Knights of the Forest, Laocres!

Oh, yeah.

It's Laocles' turn. The audience is also very excited about this. Because it's Laocles. There's no way it won't cheer you up!

If I win, I'll let Crore propose to you!

"Do as you please."

Well, it was one of Crore's suitors. He hit Laocles in the first fight, but he didn't look frightened. I wonder if he remembers it on his arm.

But Laocles laughed... and laid his sword on the floor. Just like Mr. Marsen, he had a fistless stance.

And.

"... well, if only you could beat me."

With such a good-looking gesture, Lao Cres kicked the floor at the same time as the signal to start the battle and approached the opponent at once!
