EP. 56 -The young lady decides male and female
“Hmm, this is all poisonous…”
The tournament was in a good point, and Maria, who broke many enemies, was finally advancing to the final.
The waiting room of the arena that was addressed to her.
Various meals are prepared for the players fighting through the fierce battle, but the meals are lined up on the desk without any effort.
Instead, a boy, who was silently investigating a meal dish, looked back to Maria.
“Yes, thank you for finding Gino”
“Ehehe… I'll do anything…”
Geno is pleased with a puppy -like smile if he strokes his head.
With love of such a younger boy, Maria was convinced of the results as expected.
“But is most of the food prepared in this?”
“Well, prepared here in advance and it was the correct answer.”
“Whether to win, do you do this so far?”
As a result, Alberto and Julius, a Harlem member of Maria, have a serious expression.
Needless to say, this is the one who has set up this is Isabella, who will hit Maria in the next final.
In this tournament, all of her opponents had unnaturally losing.
It is thought that two people were unlucky or weak, but some of the opponents had considerable powerful people, but all the games were completed with almost all the games.
It seems that he has won using dirty means such as bribes and intimidation, but the hand is not effective against the prince protected by the prince.
As a result, he probably came to eliminate this by poison.
That said, Maria is also expected.
A cowardly poison was discovered by the detection magic of Gino, a genius of magic, and the only thing left in Isabella was a confrontation without a small work.
And in a simple battle, there is no possibility that Maria, who knows this world more than anyone, will lose.
(At best, get on the tone. Because today is the end of you)
With the conviction of the victory, Maria smiled in an evil smile in a position that was invisible to the prince.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
“I'm sorry, the young lady, apparently all the poison that I prepared has been dealt with.”
In the passage in the arena, I report the failure of the strategy, hang my head and apologize to the young lady.
Unlike the other party so far, this time it is not easy this time.
The guys who have been surrounded by her are still sticking around Mary, and it is difficult to get in touch for negotiations.
I tried to set up poison, but this also failed.
Otherwise, you have to take a fairly aggressive means.
Even though the young lady is the daughter of the Duke, it will definitely be a problem if you do that in this tournament where the royal family and other aristocrats are also paying attention.
At present, there is no longer any way to hit it.
“Yes, it can't be helped.”
“Are you sure?”
However, the reaction of the young lady who heard the report was very light.
It is surprising that he has been so obsessed with the victory and exposes his strong hostility to Maria.
“Oh, do you think Crow thinks you lose like that little girl?”
A young lady who tilted her small neck as if she had seen my question.
His face has a fearless smile and is clear that he does not doubt his victory.
“No, that's never
“Look, I will beat that woman by hitting that woman until I was completely nasty.”
Of course, I don't think the young lady will lose.
Immediately after denying, the young lady nodded and smiled gracefully as usual.
However, unlike the usual, the eyes of the emerald had a glaring and burning struggle.
After that, I broke up with the young lady and decided to return to the audience with Ains to watch the male figure, but most of the audience was buried because it was just before the final.
“Oh crow, this is it!”
“?”
When I was looking around if there was a vacant seat somewhere, I heard that someone called me with cheers.
When I looked for the lord of the voice, a silver -haired man, Dee, was waving here.
“I thought it would come soon, I kept a seat for you. Look, how about her?”
“… Well, it's okay.”
“Thank you Dixen”
If you approach it, Dee will take a lot of luggage that has been occupied next to it with a smile and a smile, and prepares two seats.
There are many things to ask why you have a good seat for two people and where you have gone, but it's true that you were looking for a seat.
I have no reason to refuse, so I will sit with Ains in a seat next to Dee.
“Ah, then, please, please do this too.”
“Suddenly, what is this?”
Before we sitting in the seat, the luggage that Dee was cleared up was presented.
He is wary of unknown luggage for a moment, but immediately understands its identity and weakens.
A large amount of paper bags have a smell that stimulates appetite, and even if you don't like it, your stomach will decrease.
“Oh, this? No, no, all the stalls outside are unusual. I just bought too much. I couldn't eat it alone, so I decided to divide it into you!”
“… Is that so? Is there Ains?”
“I'm sorry for the words.”
There is no sign of lying there.
Despite the fact that it is being improved by trading with the kingdom, the empire is a resourceful country.
Naturally, meals are no exception, and the food culture of the kingdom is really diverse compared to such an empire.
This time it is a large tournament, and there are many rare things that are usually not seen in stalls that are open.
This is probably the result of seeing them and impulsively.
Obviously, if you grab some of the meals that seem to be more than five people, you will open the wrap that I received.
I'm riding around today since the morning, and I'm honestly grateful because I haven't had a lot of meals.
“Even so, it's still stunning. It's just a magical power to be able to fight at this level at the student's stage.
And the kingdom seems to be focusing on this tournament. I never thought I would prepare a treasured attribute. ”
At the end of Dee's gaze, there are the magician of the kingdom in the corner of the venue as a rescue team.
Time attribute that is the upper attribute of light.
The bearer is a rare attribute that can only be counted in one hand in the kingdom called the magical power.
In the first place, among the basic six attributes, light and darkness are originally few.
When it comes to the upper attribute or a space, it is rare, and you will be hired by high -level aristocrats, such as the royal family and the Duke, under exceptional conditions.
It's not a good thing that can be used by one servant…
“How did you do it, Crow -sama?”
“Nothing”
Find out from Ains, who was unconsciously turned to the venue, returned to the venue.
Anyway, if it comes to such a rare attribute, its power is enormous.
The time attribute is literally the ability to manipulate time.
In particular, “Rewind” Allows you to return everything to its original state.
It seems that the dead cannot be revived, but otherwise they can recover even if they are fatal.
That is why the kingdom can participate in such a dangerous tournament with still immature students and see the ability to the limit.
“So who do you think you will win?”
I was asked by Dee and I was devouring squid baking, and I turned my gaze to the game where I am doing it now.
The two who lost in the semifinals should have been fighting in the third place.
On the stage, the magic and sword techniques collide violently, and violently destroyed the surroundings.
The stage is already tattered, and if there is no barrier that has been stretched around, the spectator will be sacrificed in the aftermath.
Currently fighting is Leon, the escort of Prince Albert, and the other is the man who was fighting the young lady earlier.
Leon had a considerable fierce battle in the previous game with Maria, and his movements were slow and the whole body was deeply fatigue.
On the other hand, the man who fought with the young lady was intentionally lost in the previous game, so his physical strength and magic would be preserved.
It is clear which one wins.
“That's the escort knight Sama.”
“Why, why?”
In my answer, Dee smiles with a grin and sick.
What is the gaze that occasionally tracks the person who is a guy?
“Everybody is stronger, it's just that.”
“I agree, but is he tired?”
“But that doesn't affect the winning or losing. To that evidence.”
Therefore, the match that has been stalemated so far begins to move at once.
Leon turns into an attack from his previous defense -oriented way of fighting, and makes a fierce attack.
The opponent also tries to deal with a sudden onslaught and deal with it, but in the past battles, all of them have been discontinued.
Leon avoids the magic that attacks, and sometimes cuts off the opponent.
“Well, that kind of feeling.”
“Huh… Isn't it very familiar?”
It will be as good as the settlement.
Lost interest in the game, take out the hot dog from the next bag and return to the meal again.
After that, I was able to settle down to Dee, who had been asking some questions, and it was shortly that it was settled.
“Well, it's finally the final.”
“Lady…”
After the tattered stage was repaired in the previous game, the final was about to begin.
While we are watching at the audience seats, a young lady and Mary Mary appear on the stage of the arena.
A young lady with a new pure white robe again, and a long cane with large magic stones on the tip.
On the other hand, Maria wears a metal light armor that emphasizes ease of movement, and has a glittering silver sword that receives sunlight in her hands.
It is clear that both equipment is a first -class product, and there is probably no difference in its performance.
Then, deciding the game is a matter of the person who handles it.
And it will be revealed soon or soon.
The audience all was swallowed and waited for that time.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
“I didn't like you for a long time.”
“Oh, it's strange. I hate you too.”
As if talking about a public story, the two girls who confronted each other with a smile with a smile.
“It's just a bad role, but I get in the way, and it's annoying.”
“The lower common people are on the tone, and give them out of the way.”
They are no longer compatible with each other, and there is no way to eliminate them.
One is for your own ambition, and for the pride you have accumulated.
The girls hold their swords and wands because they cannot afford.
“Ahaha…”
“Uhufu…”
A momentary silence, as before the arrow that was squeezed to the last minute was released.
“Start!”
“I'll skip it!”
“I'll crush it!”
With the signal of the referee's start, they began to move at the same time.
It was Isabella who opened the first.
Isabella raises a cane and emits countless wind blades.
Maria avoids the storm while stepping on a brilliant step, shakes the sword and quickly packs the distance.
“Kutabe!”
“Sweet!”
“Guu…”
Isabella catches the swinged sword with a cane, and hits his belly in return.
Maria tries to reduce the damage by jumping back from himself, but immediately after the gust of Isabella, she can be further away.
“” Wind Javelin “!”
“!?”
When Isabella raises a cane without missing the gap, a wind spear is deployed many layers around her.
All of them set a break in Mary, and were injected all at once by the signal of Isabella swinging the cane.
A single blow with an overwhelming destructive power pours innumerably around Mary, and the enemy is crushed for each stage.
“Still!” Cyclone edge “”
Isabella's onslaught does not end.
A tornado occurs around the place where Mary will be, and blows off the earth smoke that hides its appearance.
The tornado is the blade itself that cuts all the touches, and Maria surrounded by the surroundings is blocked by the escape.
And at that time, the preparation of Isabella is over.
When a huge magical ceremony is developed in the blue and clear sky, the sky is suddenly covered with a dark cloud and a dark shadow is dropped into the venue.
Eventually, light starts to run in the clouds with the roaring sound that resounds in the belly, and the frequency gradually increases.
“” Thunderbolt “!”
A symbol of absolute power that was allowed only to some selected humans.
Lightning attribute, one of the upper attributes.
Isabella's strongest blow cracked the heavens and hit the power that could be said to be overconnected against Mary.
Isabella is convinced of the victory and laughing at its response.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
Everyone thought that the overwhelming blow from heaven had decided to win or lose.
However, when the flash cleared, the sight of the audience seats saw the scenes greatly disappointed.
“What's that…?”
Someone in the audience muttered unintentionally.
It was a strange sight.
The deadly lightning lightning stopped, stopping his movement right before Mary hit the palm overhead.
The audience is confused by the momentary phenomenon of lightning, the sight of the part of it is cut out.
“Space attribute?”
Looking at the scene, what came to my mind was the magic used by the underlying maid.
Certainly, if the space around the lightning is fixed, you can understand that sight.
“No, no. The spatial attributes cannot be used by Mary, a light attribute of darkness.”
However, the idea is denied by Ains, the user of the no other space attribute.
So what is that…?
“Yes, that's the opposite of that. It's the attribute of the top attribute of light.”
“Nana…!”
The answer was revealed by the next dee.
It is a high -end attribute of light that literally manipulates time, literally.
Along with the spatial attributes, it is a rare attribute than the upper attributes of other basic four attributes.
The number of users is probably just one hand in the kingdom called the magical power.
It is natural that no one has seen the audience.
Is that Maria the user of such a rare attribute?
“I'll tell you, after all, you are just a mob character that colors my story.
“Gut!”
“Lady!?”
I wondered if Maria, who had stopped thunder, had been extinguished, and at the next moment, it appeared behind the young lady.
And on the other hand, there is a shallow scratches on the body of the young lady.
And not only once, but many times.
While we are confused, Maria disappears many times, and each time the number of wounds of the young lady increases, and the deeper one increases.
“This is terrible.”
“What is going on!”
It's not just moving quickly or that kind of dimension.
It is a situation that I can not understand at all, but apparently this man knows what is happening.
I suddenly get close to the dee just because I grabbed it.
“I see, can't you see it because you don't have the magic.
“What is that crisp technique!”
Is this man playfully!
I guess you can't win with that.
“That's why time attributes are rare and useful. Like me or your husband, if you have a strong magic, you can not be affected to some extent.”
“Ku…”
For the time being, this man has a powerful magic, so he may be able to follow Maria's movement to stop the time.
Is the fucking magic again!
Why I don't have the magic at this important time! ?
Even now, the young lady is on the stage against Maria's onslaught.
As long as the opponent stops the time, no matter how powerful an attack is, it will be quickly avoided.
I don't know what's going on as it is, and can I only see the young lady being unilaterally beaten?
“Crow, please touch here.”
Ains presents a knife in front of me, who is suffering.
To be clear, it's a suspicious thing that can be called a knife.
The blade breaks from the middle, and a rag knife that is charred here and there.
But like this guy somewhere…?
No, now it's exactly what Ains says.
“This is…”
As soon as I touched the ragged knife given in the hand of Ains, the world changed completely.
Until then, the cheers that had been noisy were erased, and the surrounding spectators were all solidified as they were.
This is probably the world stopped by Maria.
“It's stupid! It's an artifact that disables magic!?”
The man next door is noisy, but now she's a young lady.
When it stopped, Maria was swinging on the stage while moving around in a row.
On the other hand, it is not that the young lady was no resistance.
He is scattering wind blades around and trying to intercept Mary approaching.
However, the movement is slow because the young lady is also influenced by the other person's magic.
I couldn't fight back properly, and I was able to just squeeze the cane and focus on defense.
It was no longer a one -sided violation.
“That's it!”
“Kyuhhhhh!”
Finally, the young lady failed to fight back and exposed a big gap.
In that gap, the light converges to Maria's sword, and the flash released is a blade of light and attacks the young lady.
The young lady was blown away, ate a direct hit of the magic.
“Lady!?”
Breaking down the ground many times, and when the momentum stopped, the young lady's body was already bloody and tattered.
At that time, the time stop was already canceled, and the audience was suddenly blown away.
The young lady has lost consciousness, or she does not move on the ground while falling down on the ground.
Unfortunately, it can be said that the win or loss has never been.
Whether the referee also decided so, raised his hand to declare the winner.
─ The world stopped again.
“Hey… You should have settled!”
Of course, it was Maria who did this.
For some reason, she raises her sword again and converges the light on the blade.
The brilliance that gathers in the sword is stronger than before, and it will increase its sharpness by terrible.
Even if I don't have the magical skills, I can see it.
If you receive it without resistance, you will probably die.
And there is no way to protect the fainted young lady.
“It was so hard, but that's it!”
“Give me that guy!”
There is no longer a postponement.
When he forcibly steals a knife from Ains's hand, he jumps over the audience seats at once using strengthening his body.
He tries to get off the stage, but has a barrier between the audience seats.
Normally, you will be played by the barrier, so you will not be able to get off the stage unless you go from the waiting room side, but there is no such time!
I go into the barrier without hesitation.
“Don't get in the way!”
Stand a knife to the barrier and forcibly cut it.
The barrier was shattered with a high -pitched sound like a glass work, and the disability was eliminated.
Go up to the stage and rush to the young lady.
──I was out of time.
The light of the magical power worn by the knife becomes thinner, and the effect gradually disappears.
“Isabella!”
“No, no!?”
Immediately before the effect expires, he holds his young lady's body at least to become a shield and turns his back to Mary.
Immediately after, my body loses any resistance and stops.
At the end, Maria suddenly appeared, but was surprised at me, but had already swung down the sword.
The rampage will be easily erased, such as my body.
But at least she's!
Immediately after such a wish, the overwhelming power attacks my body and erases everything.
“…Yeah?”
── It wasn't.
If you opened your eyes, it was not a tragic destruction you expected, but a fantastic and beautiful ice wall.
And I know only one, such as those who can do this.
“Yeah, you're completely unreasonable…”
“Dee!”
The fellow silver -haired man was standing in front of us with a stunned face.
“Let me here, you should carry her to the medical office.”
“What, why here?”
“I don't think it's why a friendly friend suddenly jumped out and followed him, but it wouldn't be why it would be better to do it faster, because the lady who had a tantrum could not get it.”
“Why… Why is it so!”
At the end of the dee's gaze, on the other side of the ice wall, Maria scratched her hair and shouted.
There are a lot of things to say to that woman, but it doesn't mean they don't attack again.
Now the young lady's safety is better.
“I'm sorry, wear a good benefit”
“Then tell me the recommended stalls next time.”
“Think”
I left this place to Dee, and when I held my young lady, I rushed to the medical office.
