________________________________________________
Continuing on, we will commence the next match for the semi-finals!! We present to you the participant that finishes his battles with a single strike, Participant Genkaku. And though her appearance yesterdays battle was a little scary, we present to you Participant Aidle!!!
It is an honor to be able to fight someone of your caliber in this place, Aidle-dono
Un, I was also a little troubled by yesterdays fight, but Its a good thing that I am now matched against you. Oh and by the way, if I win this match, is it alright is if I ask you about something Well, you can tell me if I win.
Its fine, Id also like to ask for something so its good
This times battle is also impossible to predict!! Will Participant Gekakus 1 hit strike finish Aidle, or will it be Aidles overwhelming power crush participant Genkaku!! Begin the Match!!
As expected, that wont work huh. Well I already that Iai was not originally used for something like this.
Nu!!
Because I felt that something is wrong with my stance, I stopped trying to do the Iai stance. Im sorry about this, you wont be able to enjoy the game like this because I have circumstances needed to be solved. Therefore,
Aidle-chan approaches normally!! Arent you afraid of entering Participant Genkaku attack range!?
I concentrated a high amount of magic power into my sword and walk close. Fairy magic strengthens my dynamic vision to the limit. Then I stop one step before his attack range. That is 3 meters away from where he stood.
A stood on the spot for a bit Then proceed stepping inside his attack range
-!!!
Gakkin!!
ah, ahahThat is quite unexpected, Aidle-dono.
The clash was so fast that even Genkaku wasnt able to completely perceive after swinging with all his strength. The tip of Genkakus sword was cut and was found on the stage behind me, and then no other attacks followed after that single strike.
Your attack was certainly fast, so I had to put all my effort into stopping your blade
Is that so Its my defeat then
Putting back his broken sword int it scabbard, he bow to me. Intense applause then came from the audience seat.
A battle of a single blow!! It was so fast that it only lasted for a moment!! Still, our lovely girl Aidle was the one who came out victorious!! Congratulations on entering the finals!!
I took the tip of his sword and handed it back to him, then asked about what I would like him to tell me before we start the match after we returned to the waiting area.
So, what do wish to ask out of me?
Its nothing serious, I just want to ask directions as to how I would be able to go to your home country, Im interested in visiting it in the future
Oh, ok, then let me write you a guide
Genkaku wrote the directions to reach Wado with the paper and pen that Ive prepared. After writing, he said that he will be going back to his home country after this, so at the time we visit, we should look for him at the place he instructed.
WaitHmm?
Just a bit, Genkaku-san also wanted to ask about something right?
Muu But I have lost qualifications of doing so
Its fine to ask, I will answer if its not something too troublesome
Genkaku-san was reluctant at first but I was able to convince him and he lowered his head in thanks.
Im only going to ask if youve heard about it but, do you know of a demon called Yamata no Orochi? I am on a journey in search for it you see
That naming sure seems like a monster that came out of Japanese mythology. Is it also something that exist in this world? Is it real? Well, sorry, I also dont know.
Nope, havent heard of it
Oh, is that so Well, I guess thats just how it is
This time Genkaku went away
In that evening when I was resting at the Inn.
Ah
I noticed that Super Synchronization was activated and expired. Hmmm I see.
The end result was good
And then, I finally felt relief on my chest. I dove into my bed while cluttering my feet.
That night, I heard the two people calling from out the door Were Home.
