8 Black and White Princess and Soul Costume [2]





 I was looking at her soulsuit with a mixture of envy and jealousy in my eyes.

I looked at her with a mixture of envy and jealousy. Why don't you hurry up and get yours out?

 She said something outrageous, as if it were a matter of course.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I can't do such a great trick.

 She rolled her eyes as she shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.

I'm sure you're not the only one. I'm not sure if you're serious about that ......?

Oh.

 Unfortunately, I can't call up a spirit device.
 In fact, this is the first time I've ever seen an actual spirit device.

 Then.

"P....... Hahahahahahaha! Hee hee ....... Oh, my stomach ...... hurts .......

 She held her stomach and laughed really happily.

I'm not sure what to say. It's unpleasant to think that an inexperienced person who can't even call up a soul suit would want to fight me, the feared "Princess of Kuro and Shiro" .......

 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.

(You're a very emotional princess, .......)

 I'm sure you'll have fun every day.

 And one more thing - I didn't go into the duel willingly. She just pushed me to it.

 But I knew it would be more trouble than it's worth to argue with her here, so I decided to keep my mouth shut.

"Well, okay. I'll give you credit for your courage and guts. --Don't expect it to be over in a flash, okay? I'll fry it slowly over low heat. ....... I'm going to fry it slowly over low heat. It's going to boil, boil, boil!

 It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

 I'm sure that the kind and dignified appearance that I saw at the entrance ceremony was probably just a cat in a bag.

(......It's true that I can't call up my soul armor.

 But that does not mean that you will lose immediately.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

I'm going, Leah?

 I asked without the slightest bit of carelessness, keeping my eyes steady.

"Yes, go ahead.

 She, on the other hand, was smug.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

 ...... I'm a swordsman too.

 I'm not sure if I'm a good enough person to keep my mouth shut after being treated like this.

I'm not sure what to say.

 Faster than usual.
 Stronger than usual.

 I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to say.

 I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

"Shiro Dragon Scales!

 The white flames formed a large shield like a nine-decker and burned the flying shadow to the ground.

I'm sure you'll enjoy this ...... a little bit.

 I used the shield she deployed as a distraction and closed the distance between us.

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Eight swords--Yatagarasu!

"Eight ...... at the same time!

 I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

"Kuro Breath of the Kuro Dragon!

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

(...... is indeed powerful.)

 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

 It's a great way to make sure you don't get caught in the middle of a situation.

Don't come any closer! --Dragonic Roar!

 She scattered a wide area of black and white mixed flames.

 You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

 I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I mean.

"What ...... are you ...... doing now?

I don't know which one you're referring to, but they're both techniques that I invented.

"......So. So you've got what it takes to get Leia's approval. ......

 I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

In the event that you're not sure what to do, you'll be able to always ask for help.

 That's a lot of time. ...... Billions of years.

Okay, I'm going to give you a special recognition as a 'so-so' swordsman.

...... Thanks for that.

 I'll take that as a compliment.

 I'll take that as a compliment. People are happier when they think positively about everything.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I'll tell you that now. No matter how hard you try, you'll never reach that hopeless barrier of talent!



 Then she plunged straight in with her stupidity and honesty.

(I'm sure I'm superior in simple muscle strength, but ...... what are you thinking ......? 

 I don't want to evade and get hit by the flames.

 I don't like the idea of taking advantage of my opponent's offer,......, but I have no choice.
 Let's take it head on.

 The moment the swords clashed--they were locked in a fierce battle--Ria laughed.

"Haoh-ryu - Gougeki!

 I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to say.

 What a stupid power this guy has,.......

"Haaaaaaaaaaaa ......!

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, ......!

 I mobilized every muscle in my body - legs, hips, stomach, arms - to intercept it.

 But...

(d*mn ......, I can't stop ......!)

 I was overpowered by her explosive power, and my sword was flipped away, exposing a gaping hole in my abdomen.

"There's a gap!

 And then her powerful kick pierced through.

"Guh!

 I deliberately jumped back to kill the impact, and barely escaped serious damage.

 At the same time, I retrieve the sword that fell behind me and prepare for the next attack.

(d*mn ...... nasty power (・・・・). ......)

 The secret to this ridiculous power is the flames that burn behind her.

 The moment the swords collide, the flames behind them burst into flames, giving them explosive power.

 If you're not sure what to do, you can always ask her.

I'm sure you're higher than me when it comes to swordsmanship alone. ...... It's disgusting. But you can never beat my swordplay, which is enhanced by my soul armor, with that little bit of swordplay. Do you understand a little bit now? The absolute power of the soul armor.

 The combination of swordsmanship and soul gear ...... is nothing short of brilliant, to be honest.

(But ...... is sweet.)

 It was clear to me when I saw her strike.

 I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

 In addition to that, carelessness and pride--there is a good chance of victory.

(Use the ...... thing...)

 I never dreamed that the time would come when I would be able to use a technique that I invented during my first round in the prison when I looped over a dozen times--a technique that I made up just for fun--in a real battle.

(Okay, now that I've decided that, I need to accurately predict ...... Leah's movements.

 I ruminate in my head about my previous battles with her.

 The first move, when she saw the flying shadow, she deployed a shield of white flame that protected a fairly large area.

 On the second move, she calmly controlled the black flames in front of the approaching Yatagarasu and accurately shot them all down.

 In the third move, when I approached to launch a follow-up attack, he calmly deployed a wide range of attacks without panicking.

(...... Leah has consistently made rational and conservative choices thus far.)

 And now she has a sure shot against me - so I have a pretty good idea of what she'll do next.

 Having completed my analysis, I then determined the best point to set up in terms of my position with Leah.

 Then, without her noticing, I slipped the tip of my sword into that point.

(......Okay, now I'm all set.)

 Now all I have to do is get her to do what I want and she'll explode.

"Hmmm, next time I'll kill her.

 I think she's already convinced of victory.

 I'm sure she's already convinced of her victory, but the lecherous smile on her face doesn't seem to have noticed my plan.

"Now, get ready!

 And with that, she plunged in again, this time with great honesty.
 She closed the gap between us in an instant and swung her crimson sword high in the air.

"Haoh-ryu--Gouge!

 The two of us crossed our gazes, Leah confident of victory and me confident of victory.

(As calculated by ......, the game is won.)

 I put the sword back in its sheath and turned around.

The second sword, Oborozuki.

 The next moment.

What's wrong with ......?

 An invisible slash struck her from her chest to her abdomen.

 The counter-strike came from a completely unpredictable place, and she easily let go of her consciousness without any way to accomplish it.

 The second sword - Oborozuki.

 This is an installation type slash.

 It predicts the point where the opponent will pass and plants the slash there in advance.
 And the counter automatically explodes at the moment the opponent passes by.

 It is extremely difficult to aim and hit, but if you hit, it is truly a killing blow.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

 I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure what to do. Therefore, Allen-Rhoddle wins!

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

"Phew. ......

 It's a good thing I'm not the only one.

 ...... was a strong opponent.

 It's a great experience to be able to fight an opponent that uses soul gear.

I'm not sure what to say. It's just what I expected.

 Leia nodded proudly, "As expected of me! He nodded proudly.

Thank you .......



 I don't know when or where it was expected, but I don't feel bad about the ...... praise.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.

 I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm sure you'll be fine. He should regain consciousness in a few minutes.

"Really? ......?

 No matter how strong your body is, ...... leaving a fainting person unattended is not a good idea. .......

Oh, you can just sit back and watch.

"Ha, ha...... I understand.......

 For some reason, Dr. Leia seems to know Leah very well, so I decided to do as she said and leave her alone for a while.

 Then, about two minutes later.

"......?

 Just as Dr. Leia had said, Ms. Leah sat up with a start, as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, is that ......? I'm ...... what the hell is ......?

"Too bad. You lost that duel, Leah.

"...... duel? ......!

 It's a good idea to take a look at the website to see if there's anything you need to know.

I'm not sure what you mean. Why did you lose? What the hell did you do to me?

 As she panicked, I carefully explained the effects of Oborozuki to her.

"No, that's not fair! It's not fair! It's not fair!

 Perhaps she was not satisfied with my explanation, but her mouth was full of complaints.

"Well, even if you say so .......

 In the first place, Oborozuki is not a technique that was created for actual combat.

 It is impossible to use it in a real battle unless your opponent has an easy to read mind like Ria.
 In terms of practicality, it is not even close to the likes of Tobikage and Yatagarasu.

 First of all, it has many weaknesses.
 A slash placed in space is not completely invisible, and if you look carefully, you can see the slightest displacement of air--a fault.
 In addition, it is very difficult to set up a slash without being noticed by the opponent.

(Even so, ...... she was able to win this time thanks to her overconfidence in the power of her soul armor, but ......)

 The next time I fight her, I'm sure I'll have an even harder time.

(I'll have to train harder and harder, too. ......)

 And while I was vowing to further my training.

In any case, the duel ended in Allen's victory: ....... What are you going to do, Leah?

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.  

"What are you going to do ...... about what?

 Perhaps she really did forget.

 She made a strange face and tilted her head.

"You know, that thing. Don't tell me you've forgotten about ...... the promise you made before the duel.

What do you mean by "pre-duel promise" ......?

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

I'm not sure if you've forgotten the terms of the duel or not,.......

 (Did you really forget the conditions of the duel?

(Did you really forget the terms of the duel? I'm sure you've heard of it.

 For some reason, it was not the winner of the duel, but the observer, Dr. Leia, who was hunting down Ria.

I'm not sure what to make of that. It's like a figure of speech... ......
She began to get visibly upset and waved her hands in the air.

 Her gaze swept left and right, clearly suspicious of her behavior.

She waved her hands in the air, visibly disoriented, her gaze swimming left and right, clearly uncomfortable. "Well, it's true that the duel wasn't conducted through the receiving office, and it wasn't a formal procedure. I don't mind if I kill it myself.

 Surprisingly, Dr. Leia offered a helping hand.

"Hey, Leia, ......!

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

(...... Well, for me too, this is a great way to get out of trouble.)

 To be honest, I don't like the idea of her asking me to be her slave.

 After all, she's the princess of the Kingdom of Vesteria.

 If such a thing were to be found out, it would surely be a big problem.

(Well, I guess that's settled for now. ......)

 And then I stretched wide.

But ...... are you sure you're okay with that?

You'll be able to get a lot more information on the web.

What do you mean, ......?

No. ....... It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and what you can do to help. No, no, no. If you're okay with that, that's fine. ....... I'm just curious. Yeah, don't worry about it.

 I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

 I can assure you, Dr. Leia is a bad person. And quite a bit of it.

 She's still playing Leah to the hilt.



(...... I'd better not get too involved with this guy)

 As I was thinking about this, Leah finally started to groan.

I'm not sure what to do. ...... too! I know, I know! I'll keep my word, and you'll keep your word, won't you?

 In a half desperation, Leah shouted out loud.

 Seeing her, Ms. Leia cowered deliberately.

"Hey, hey, don't make it sound like I'm forcing you. This is your problem. You can either keep your promise and become a slave, or you can renege on your promise and run away. You have to decide for yourself.

"Mghhhhh .......

 She made an inaudible voice and glared at me.

 And then--

"I know I'm not very good at this, but I'm looking forward to working with you, ...... master .......

 I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

 In the event you're not sure what to do, there are a few things you can do.
