ăWelcome back, loser. There was only one exchange, huhă
ăShut upă
When I console Eric as he approaches me with his body covered in sand, he said that to me while looking displeased. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Even though Iâve taken all that trouble to advise and console him, what an unfriendly guy.
Even so, the spar between Eric and Eleonora-neesan ended quickly as predicted.
Maybe around five seconds after the starting signal?
Truly fast. Eleonora-neesan is too strong that I can hardly see Ericâs skill, it canât be helped.
Next, letâs watch Luna-san and Sylvio-niisanâs spar as planned.
ăHey, Alfried. Surely, youâre skilled in magic, right?ă
As I thought like that and was about to turn my sight to those two, Eric suddenly talked to me.
ăYeah, what is it?ă
ăI see. So that means, your sister - miss Eleonora - also excels at manipulating magic power like you? Like an amazing Body Strengtheningââă
ăEric, Eleonora-neesan didnât use Body Strengthening magic, you know?ă
Interrupting Eric from making a strange, mistaken idea, I resolutely inform him of the fact.
Then, Eric repeatedly opened and closed his mouth like a fish, making an astonished expression.
ăâŠâŠth, thatâs absurd. To be able to reach that kind of speed without using magic......ă
ăItâs because itâs Eleonora-neesan she can do thată
ăâŠâŠâŠâŠă
This is the phrase that Sylvio-niisan and I can understand. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
However, from Ericâs perspective - who only had a single spar with Eleonora-neesan - it looks like he canât seem to understand Eleonora-neesanâs absurdity.
Oh well, you would be made to keenly understand that today.
Thereâs no need for me to forcefully explain anything to him. I turn my gaze away from Eric - who is pondering about Eleonora-neesan - to express my stance and look toward Luna-san and Sylvio-niisan.
The two of them donât decide the fight with swift attacks like Eric, it seems like they are having their face-off while measuring the distance between them.
Luna-san is still wearing her thin, light protector and a somewhat short wooden sword, while Sylvio-niisan is heavily armed, with thick armor and a shield in one hand.
The two have the exact opposite nature, one emphasizes speed and one on armor, but I wonder what kind of exchange they will have?
As I watch them while feeling excited, Luna-san - who is usually expressionless - has a slight frown on her face.
ăâŠâŠthere are no gapsă
It looks like she realized that there is an unfamiliar feeling of oppression coming from Sylvio-niisan.
Thatâs right, Sylvio-niisan as he holds a shield has no gaps. If you attack him without thinking, then you will feel like he will immediately counter it.
Actually, he is not that terrifying besides his counter so there is no need to be that nervous, but since Luna-san doesnât know about that fact, she may think that Sylvio-niisan is quite a powerful opponent.
ăâŠâŠif he has no gaps, then I will attack him until he shows a gapă
As their face-off continues, Luna-san resolves herself to attack, I guess she thought that they are getting nowhere.
Luna-san took a deep breath, exhale, and then she started running toward Sylvio-niisan who was holding a shield.
When Luna-san rushed on from the front like that, Sylvio-niisan receives her with the shield equipped in his left hand. And at the same time, the wooden sword in his right-hand makes a sharp counter cut.
Sylvio-niisanâs specialty was unleashed and the match is immediately decided, or so I thought, but Luna-sanâs figure suddenly disappeared. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
No, she didnât disappear, she evaded by withdrawing his upper body to the limit and evading the counter.
ăEehh?ă
What a flexible body! She is as flexible as a gymnast or skating athlete.
Crossing the horizontal cut, Luna-san kick Sylvio-niisanâs leg and retreated.
And after returning to her original position, she go around and cut into Sylvio-niisanâs side - whose posture collapsed.
Advancing while looking like she crawls on the sand, Luna-san sends out a sharp thrust to Sylvio-niisan.
And yet, Sylvio-niisan can still try to meet the thrust with his wooden sword to parry the attack. However, I guess itâs due to his poor posture that he canât parry the attack cleanly.
And perhaps she had predicted that as Luna-san uses the energy from the half-parried attack as they are to move even further toward Sylvio-niisanâs chest.
Finding that to be intolerable, Sylvio-niisan tries to retreat while dodging that.
However, Luna-san continues to move closer to him without letting him do that and sent out successive attacks using the easy-to-carry wooden sword and her flexible body.
Attack, attack, dodge, attack. Offense is the best defense.
Luna-sanâs battle style was reminiscent of such a phrase.
Sylvio-niisan is counterattacking Luna-san - who is dashing freely in his surroundings - with a distressed expression on his face.
Her movements were just like a dancing goddess, and Sylvio-niisan was at Luna-sanâs mercy since he canât predict her movements.
Sylvio-niisan frantically defends himself from her attacks, but this place is unfamiliar with sandy ground. And then his posture was greatly disturbed after being caught up in a deeply piled sand.
And when Luna-san rushes toward him - not passing up such an opportunity-, Sylvio-niisan strongly pushed out his shield out of desperation.
ăItâs here! Sylvio Bash!ă
ăSylvio Bash?ă
Eric tilted his head and asks with a curious look when I yelled in excitement.
Itâs a technique that can be said to represent Sylvio-niisan! But, thatâs not important right now.
He sent out his shield to counterattack. And contrary to my expectation that she will dodge it, Luna-san charges in Sylvio-niisanâs direction.
While evading the shield by making full use of her bodyâs flexibility, she rolls toward Sylvio-niisanâs center of gravity.
Immediately after that, Luna-san arrived at Sylvio-niisanâs back in a flash and put her wooden sword on his neck.
ăThatâs it!ă
After Egar-san raises the ending signal, Luna-san slowly put her sword away.
I mean, Sylvio-niisan might not be familiar with the sandy ground, but even without it, it was still an advantage for predicting Luna-sanâs victory.
Swordsmanship along with the ever-changing taijutsu that made full use of her flexible body. Even Sylvio-niisan - who excels in defense - lost to Luna-san, so Eleonora-neesanâs judgment before was right.
AhăŒ, I canât picture the image of me winning against Luna-san at all.
ăIt took longer than I thought it would, huh?ă
Eleonora-neesan calls out to her as Luna-san returns to the side and brushes off the sand on her body.
ăâŠâŠhe was much stronger than what I heard from you, Eleonora. That defensive strength, thatâs unfairă
ăBut, attacking that sort of defense is your specialty, right?ă
ăâŠâŠwellă
Luna-sanâs answer was short, but I felt something like confidence in her tone and expression.
I guess sheâs the type that specializes in irregular attacks, so she would be confident in maneuvering through all sorts of defense.
ăAhăŒ, I lostă
ăSylvio-niisan, good workă
ăYouâre really amazing, being able to spar with my aneue to that extent on your first fight against heră
Eric and I made congratulatory remarks to Sylvio-niisan when he returned.
ăI wonder if that was really considered a spar? From the first counter, I was not able to attack at allă
ăLuna-san, her body was very flexibleă
ăShe took full advantage of her flexibility, attacking while combining her unique rhythm and feints, that is aneueâs fighting style after all. I think it will be difficult to become familiar with her movementsă
Eleonora-neesan and Luna-san have completely different fighting styles. Itâs going to be difficult to get used to her fighting style.
ăNext are Eric and Alfried-kun!ă
As we were casually talking about the previous match,
Egar-san calls out to us. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And then, Eric sent a provocative gaze at me.
ăHou, I can finally have a rematch with youă
ăEhăŒ? Could it be youâre holding a grudge over our fight with tongs?ă
ăThatâs obvious! That kind of result is invalid. This time is a match using only pure swordsmanship!ă
If itâs invalid then you shouldnât be holding a grudge though......
Oh well, even if I told him that, Eric would not listen anyway.
In any case, it looks like this guy doesnât like losing to me, even if itâs just a tongs match.
I donât care about the result of sparring in this training, but itâll be annoying to lose to Eric.
So letâs win this match, so he wonât make fun of me in the future.
ăYosh, I will also beat you this timeă
ăYou canât use magic this time, all right! Prepare yourself, Alfried!ă
When Eric stands up and said that to me while pointing his finger at me, Egar-sanâs irritated voice comes from the distance. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăThe two of you, come here quickly!ă
ăăAh, yes!ăă
