203-Spear and shield




 
'Next time you want to hold a shield in one hand? Or do you want to take a break?

Please continue with the shield!

 In response to sister Elinora's question, I bring out my shield and say.

 I had brought brother Silvio's shield with me because I thought it would be in this kind of pattern.

'Why would Al answer. ''Well, fine,''

 He looks somewhat unhappy, but when I handed him the shield, Brother Silvio started to prepare honestly.

 I love Brother Silvio because he can often manage to push it.

 That's why Brother Silvio, equipped with a wooden sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, goes to fight again.

 .........what is it? Brother Silvio, equipped with a shield in his left hand, seems to be full of confidence at an unprecedented time.

 Brother Silvio's physique is slender for a man, and he has a somewhat unreliable impression, but just by equipping a shield in his left hand, that impression seems to be blown away.

 What is the difference between this and just equipping a wooden shield in your left hand? 

 Is it the self-confidence that overflows from inside Brother Silvio that makes his figure look bigger?

''........Just by holding the shield, your mood has changed.''

Is that right?

 Brother Silvio replied to Sister Elinora's words with a wry smile.

 He is like a different person from when he was holding a single sword.

 Brother Silvio said that he was no match for Elinora's sister, but looking at the way she looks, I can't help but have a faint hope that she'll be able to make it.

 If so, the target of my daily practice should be heavily tilted towards Brother Silvio.

 In order for me to have an easy time practicing, I'd like Brother Silvio to do his best.

 When sister Elinora takes her position, she looks forward with her wooden sword in front of her. She is in her usual stance of being able to pounce and swing down at any time.

 In contrast, Silvio-san is in a completely defensive stance, dropping low at the waist and pulling the shield in front of her left hand and the wooden sword in her right hand slightly.

 There is a sense of tension in the air from the area, and the sound of the wind blowing in can be heard rather loudly.

 And when the wind stopped, I raised a sharp voice to give a signal.

'Begin!'

 The moment my voice sounded, sister Elinora kicked the ground hard and dashed off.

 A straight line movement without any tricks. However, its speed is incomparable to the previous one, and it eats up a distance of ten meters in an instant.

''Haha!''

 He strikes the wooden sword along with sister Elinora's cleaver spirit. Brother Silvio intercepted her with his shield and the wooden sword and shield made a dry sound.

 Then sister Elinora immediately pulled back her sword and unleashed a series of stormy attacks.

 The attacks that are unleashed in all directions, Silvio brother calmly uses the wooden sword and shield to play and sometimes taunt and deal with them.

 In the courtyard, a hard sound that could not be considered the sound of a wooden sword and shield clashing was constantly echoing.

 Great, I can't believe I can prevent that raging attack.

 How could Brother Silvio's ability change so much when he has a shield?

 While I was astonished, the two of them continued their sword fights, moving and swapping swords at a dizzying pace.

 And Silvio brother, who was looking for an opening, called the trajectory of Elinora sister's attack and flicked it wide with his shield.

 It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of your time with the help of a good friend.

 Brother Silvio was surprised by it, but caught it with his right hand sword.

 Then, in return, he held the shield in his left hand and charged straight at it.

 Elinora sister evades it with a step, with a pained expression on her face. She dropped backwards as it was and took a distance once.

''Great! Silvio bash! It's amazing how you can dismiss sister Elinora who went on the offensive!

It's a shield bash! You're my sister, and don't give me a funny name!

 I raised my voice in praise, but I was pissed off.

 Apparently, sister Elinora had seen that technique and said the same thing in the past. It's a shame, because I thought I was given a good name first.

''You're doing a good job of blocking that spinning slash and even countering it.

Al was doing the same thing the other day so I could deal with it.

Heh.

 Hi! Don't look at me! That was an accident, so it's not a move that can be taken for granted, like Elinora's sister. I don't want you to raise the bar for training with excessive expectations.

"I'll go for you this time, sis!

I'm not very good at attacking, so how is it possible?

 Brother Silvio's words caused Sister Elinora to laugh with amusement.

 It seems that this time, Brother Silvio-san will be the one to initiate the attack.

 It seems reckless from Brother Silvio's point of view, who is not good at launching attacks, but....

 As I was tilting my head inwardly, Brother Silvio thrust the shield in his left hand forward and dashed forward.

 Oh, at first glance, it looks like he set up a reckless Silviobash, but he's blinded by thrusting the shield forward and hiding the wooden sword in his right hand with his body.

 Will you continue to do the Silviobash or will you swing your sword while hiding your trajectory with your shield and body? It will be able to put pressure on sister Elinora.

 Approaching with his shield, Brother Silvio would get in between Sister Elinora.

 Then he released a horizontal slash with the wooden sword that was hidden by the shield and body.

 Elinora sister was not misled at all and calmly received it with the wooden sword.

''There were a lot of shield-carrying knights in the Order. I've fought a lot of shield users.''

 Oh, oh. It seems that Sister Elinora has already trained with many shield handlers. No wonder she doesn't seem to be moved at all.

 Silvio brother swings his sword and performs a silvio bash while approaching, but he can't catch Elinora sister. He is able to escape by stepping towards a vertical position.

 As long as an attack with the wooden sword is not much of a threat, a silviobash with a shield is the only way to make use of it. However, this is not a sister who would take it head-on with indulgence. The moment she unleashes a shield attack, she will counter with a strong counter just as if she were waiting for it.

 Silvio brother continues to attack and Elinora sister waits for the counter and continues to avoid it.

''I'm tired of being on the defensive. Now it's my turn to attack. This time I'm going to increase my speed even more, so make sure you follow me, okay?

What?

 Huh? Are they still going up? Probably the feelings of Brother Silvio and I right now are exactly the same.

 While brother Silvio and I are stunned, sister Elinora is launching a series of offensive and defensive attacks. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

 However, it's actually a completely different thing, because the Elinorah sister is able to move through them fluidly, changing them from time to time and hitting them at breakneck speed.

 Even so, Brother Silvio desperately uses his wooden sword and shield to play them. However, his opponent's sword speed ruthlessly increases with a thump.

 It's as if he was raising his speed gears, each sword speed becomes sharper and faster.

 It was like a storm of swords, and Brother Silvio's sword was flung away, and finally he could only raise his shield to prevent it.

''I surrender! I give up!

What? I'm not even close to being done yet...

 At Brother Silvio's desperate cry, Sister Elinora stops moving in disapproval.

 It's that speed without using physical enhancements. Just thinking about what it would be like if I used physical enhancements is terrifying!
Nah.

 I was shuddering, and then sister Elinora looked at me.

Al.

''Please........be gentle with me. Really.........
