"Kukukuku, it's finally my turn!" I'll show you a gorgeous sickle! "

"I don't have to show you anything like that... but please keep your hands soft."

Martina puts the scythe on her shoulder as she gently swings it around, banging one hand and making a pose with her face.

Perhaps you were inspired by the battles between Nord and Freesia.

"Oniisan, do your best." I'm sure that oniisan will be able to properly fight Martina as well. "

"Oh, no, I'm not sure, but I'll try as hard as I can."

"I want you to make the most of my teachings so far and try to fight it properly."

"Look closely at the movement of the opponent and think ahead." Since it is that big sickle, the preliminary operation is also large, and it is relatively easy to cut off. There are just a few things to be aware of... well, we'll find it ourselves. ”

Sisha did not intend to tell me any more, but she silenced herself with a smile.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

But since it's a big sickle, it's good advice that the spare operation will be bigger.

I was overwhelmed and frightened by the look of it, but then I'd be able to avoid the attack.

I'm concerned that there are a number of things to be wary of... um, I don't think I'll be able to tell right away.

While I was cheering for Nord like that, Freesia and Luna were cheering for Martina.

"I'm looking forward to seeing Martina fight!" I'm looking forward to something cool! "

"Eh... heh, heh, heh, I'm looking forward to it... I'll take care of it!" I'll show you Okura-san thoroughly! "

"Hmm, sprinkle it like when you defeated me." Don't be shy, just let me know. "

"Okay! I'll do it if Vallado says so!"

A dark purple aura leaked from Martina and her eyes glowed in the same way.

Hey! Even though you're stronger than me, don't blow it up and get more motivated!

I'm telling you to chop and shit!

Preparing for a simulated match like this, I entered the blue wall that appeared when I and Martina were selected on the LCD monitor's game screen.

There's no terrain on the plains, my equipment is the Excalibur, the lid of the pot, and the UR equipment I chose is the Holy Cloth.

I didn't choose the psychohorn this time because I wanted to make sure that I was as good as possible.

Martina and I face each other at some distance, hold our weapons at a distance, and send a signal to Nord. The buzzer sounds at the start of the match.

In the meantime, when I was waiting in a waiting position without moving, Martina stretched her hands out and stood up.

And what do you think you're going to do, you're covering your one eye with your hand as you laugh.

"Tsk tsk, the hidden true power is sealed, but you are waltzed by my great sickle, which harbors the power of the underworld."

”Hehehehhh!”

Before I could finish, I ran out and swung down the Excalibur, but Martina jumped back in a hurry and the attack cut through the air.

Shit, did you dodge it?

"Awww!? Someone's going to attack you when you're talking!" That's the way it was before!? Don't you have a chivalrous spirit! "

"Shut up! It's worse to be alarmed!"

"Guu... I see, I see. If that's what you think, then I won't hold back. I'll give you a good taste of the ground."

The atmosphere was such that the sound of the effect was about to go off, and Martina was ready to face the battle with a big sickle.

Woah, if I could get even one shot in a surprise shot, I'd have a slight advantage in the fight!

Anyway, I kept attacking so I wouldn't give Martina time to attack.

"Whoa! Whoa!" * Sigh *!

While shouting, she launched various attacks vertically, horizontally, and pierced, but Martina kept her cool face and avoided all my attacks.

I didn't think I had a big sickle. I moved with a light foot grip and didn't even glide.

Martina is laughing as she pulls my attack back.

"Cook, where I yelled in vain, I won't hit you-a-a-a-a!"

"Whoa!?"

I had a bad feeling, and I stopped in a hurry and lowered my head, and the sickle passed as I made a noise right above.

And as Martina jumped back without even waving her gaze, she kept her momentum and swung the sickle vertically from below, slashing the place where I had been before.

Ah, if you just solidify your defenses there, your crotch will be torn from the top of your head... and you'll startle me.

I was supposed to be attacking, but I sewed it up for a moment, and that attack really didn't seem like a necromancer.

Now, if I stayed away from the detour, Martina would not hesitate to swing her sickle around and attack me.

Sisha was right to attack with a large sickle, making it easier to avoid, but the distance was long and the range of attack was too wide.

Fortunately, I didn't specialize in melee combat. If I was properly attacked with the lid of a pot, I would be able to do something about it.

Even if I wanted to observe it carefully and pierce the gap after the attack, I couldn't grasp the timing with Martina's sickle that used her whole body.

Unlike swords and spears, the shape of the length was hard to grasp, and I changed the position of the handle and swung it around like a stick to adjust the speed.

Even though he looks lavish... he's so scary.

I kept trying desperately to avoid Martina's attack without retaliating, but I noticed one thing while observing.

She can't get any closer to us when she attacks.

It seems to be simply to avoid a counterattack from me, but it seems that the distance is limited by that scythe more than that.

The blade part was also large, and the handle part was long, and it seemed difficult to attack like a spear if it was too close to the opponent.

Besides, the blade seemed to be slashed back in the direction of the blade, and there was a slight gap after the attack, no matter how well the blade was handled.

So Hirahachi thought about it, and said, "Let's go inside."

When I approached you earlier, I slashed backwards, and even if I tried to leave it, it would be difficult to reach the blade part if I came forward.

Just like Luna did in the worst battle earlier, she had the option of hugging and tightening herself up.

... but I'm not very motivated because I'm scared of a lot of things.

So, immediately after avoiding Martina's attack, I charged forward.

She looked surprised when she opened her eyes at it, and it didn't seem like my aim was bad.

Hey, I'm sorry! and laughed inside and tried to attack with an Excalibur, but before that, a shock ran through his stomach.

"Guuuuu!?"

Thinking of what had happened, Martina had struck me in the belly with the handle of the big sickle.

Even so, I managed to strike back, but when I thought my head was bouncing up and my vision was dim, I was struck by my stomach again and I rolled back.

As soon as she got up and looked forward with her belly depressed, Martina raised one leg, apparently kicking her off.

It was a good idea to come inside the gap, but you care too much about the blade.

"Damn, damn..."

Guu, you were expecting me to come near you by force.

I did care about the blade part, but I didn't expect it to have a pattern or football.

Since the attack is not very strong, there is no damage at all, but I have to be vigilant that such a counterattack will come when I get close to the bypass.

The assault ended in failure, and we resumed the fight at a certain distance, but we were lacking in decisiveness, and we continued to meet for a while.

So I tried to do the next operation, the so-called shield bash, which knocks the opponent with the pot lid.

While swinging the Excalibur around and drawing attention, I slammed the lid of the pot on my face the moment I thought there was a gap.

However, Martina grabbed the upper and lower parts of the scythe handle with her stomach, and slipped her legs and let go of the impact.

"... have you used ghosts or something to read my thoughts?"

"It's just that your movements are monotonous and easy to read." I knew I was going to hit my shield... and my aim was too obvious. "

Seriously?

"The swinging with that sword-like weapon is so cluttered that I don't feel like hitting it." And the shield? It's unnaturally full of strength... is that why the shield is the lid of the pot? "

Because this is the heel!

Damn it, I tried to imitate how well Nol was doing, but it didn't work.

I was swinging an Excalibur to distract you, but you know I'm not going to hit you.

My breakthrough with Asaki ended unexpectedly twice, and the slash continued. Martina's movements became much more familiar, and she had a little more room to attack.

In the meantime, I tried to storm and shield the bash several times, but it wasn't a good decision.

It was strong enough to be strong, but compared to Nord, who specializes in melee combat, it still had less attack power and faster speed.

I thought that other determinants would come to mind in the fight... and that happened.

Martina, who was supposed to be in front of her, disappeared from sight in an instant.

I turned around, but there was no sign of him, and I wondered where he had gone... but when I looked forward, the scythe was already approaching.

"Huhhhhh!?"

When Bassari and I were slashed and frightened, they continued to tear themselves apart again, causing light numbness to spread all over our bodies, and we couldn't help but kneel down.

Then, after the battle, a buzzer sounded, and I looked up and saw that my HP was exhausted, and I saw a big, big, Martina Win in the air.

"Well, I lost..."

"Cook, I won!" But it was a good match! "

Martina laughed and gave me her hand, so she pulled me back and I stood up.

Damn, I told you I wasn't confident, but I'm sorry I lost... I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Estelle greeted me with a smile as she relaxed her strength from her shoulders and turned towards Tobotobo and Nolle.

"Niisan, thank you for your hard work."

”I'm going to do my best, but... if I lose unilaterally like that, I'll beat you!”

"Hmm, it wasn't that bad." The movement of Okura-sama felt like he was growing. Rather, Martina was stronger than expected. "

“Maybe it's because I fought one-on-one, but for me, Martina's strength was pretty much what I expected.”

"Oh, is that so?" I didn't think it would be that strong without Debuffs and Undead. "

"It's true that Debuffs and Undead are powerful abilities, but while they're being used, they're dispersing their focus." I thought you would be stronger than me if you focused on close quarters combat only. It would be very difficult to keep avoiding Okura-san's attack, which is enhanced by Excalibur. ”

With the increased attack speed in the Excalibur, I had no idea it was going to be that fast.

Still, it was all prevented by Martina's ability to ignore her attacks.

The timing of my counter-attacks was always perfect, so I couldn't force myself to attack.

Martina was praised by Luna and Freesia for loosening her cheeks.

"Martina-chan is amazing!" Heihachi was bumpy! "

"Hmm, that's the one who defeated me."

”Eheheheh... well, that's not so much...”

I don't want you to talk about people! Actually, I was one-sidedly beaten up!

Even if you look back, you will feel more regret, but let's honestly praise Martina, who is even stronger than that.

"No, you're really strong." Seriously, it was a complete defeat. Even though you're a necromancer and you're limiting debuffs and undead, I never thought you wouldn't be able to do that. "

"As I said during the battle, your movements were monotonous." But I didn't have that much room, either, did I? "

Huh, is that so?

"Because the attack was so powerful, my hands were numb every time we hit each other." Besides, I also concentrated on avoiding it because it was swinging fast. Even though it was monotonous, my movements were quite read, so I didn't lose my temper. If I missed one reading and was attacked, I might have been beaten up. Honestly, when I first got hit with the lid of the pot, I was freaking out. "

"Ah, really?" Wasn't the aim in itself bad... by the way, what did you do when you last disappeared? "

"It's the effect of Geistkritie." If you really use your abilities, you won't be able to recognize them even in front of you. It's really only for a moment, so it's just a backstage move.

I see... I tried to keep an eye on the back, which is a classic because it disappeared, but did you actually stay right in front of me?

Martina's UR-equipped robe, the Geistoclite, adds the ability to inhibit perception and reduce hostility.

Even for a moment, I can't recognize it even though I'm in front of you, and I can feel the horror of the effects of the dedicated UR equipment...

"Well, there are many things that depend on the performance of the equipment, but if you can fight to this point, Okura-san is steadily developing the foundation." If you have all the UR equipment, you won't beat Martina. "

"Well, if that's the case, I'd like you to let negative force happen..."

"I am glad that Okura-sama has grown so brilliantly. With this, I will not hesitate to train you!"

"No, you don't have to!" You know what you're going to do! "

"Fufufu, that's fine." It was a great training ground. I'm going to train all of us oniisan a lot. "

When I saw Esther and the others laughing, I felt a chill running down my spine.

Hahahaha... it's definitely a facility I built to train in... but I'm too scared to be trained by all of Nord!
