"Sorry. Alfred."

Before the game. I visited the waiting room of the final opponent Alfred. A mature man with dull, dull hair.

"Well, why are you here? Sylvia Virginia"

He is blind. But my call alone made me feel clearly. And even my exact position.

Demon boss, "I thought you had a very close relationship with Ernte, and came to hear me." "Is that so?"

I will tell you everything from that day's de-mix to the prostrate story.

When Alfred heard the story, he opened his mouth and laughed.

"Yeah, yeah. You have an interesting teacher." "To be honest, I'm suprised, but ... sometimes there are clauses that go too far." "Hm. Mostly, he dislikes me. I guess you stumbled in front of you? "" Why do you know? "" I heard you, but you know, you're a very straight person, and he's like a passionate guy Seemingly thoughtful. Simple reasoning. You must have naturally guided me to visit me. "

I noticed it for the first time. Certainly, I would probably never have visited Alfred unless the second said, "I'll make him a little poor." I was worried about the word poor, so I decided to visit.

"He seems to know how to handle you." "I feel happy, sad, and complicated."

Well, to be honest, I'm just happy. Surely Alfred would have spotted it. Um, embarrassing.

"I'm not going to lose to you, but I might talk to you."

You can talk. I guess the relationship between Alfred and General Ernte.

I returned "by all means" and corrected my residence.

"But that's a simple story. I was crushed by that man and lost the position of the demon squad." "What ?!" "Quietly" "... I'm sorry."

I was upset. But have your eyes closed? that is…….

"Why not cure?"

If you have a high quality potion, your crushed eyes should heal. Apparently, he doesn't seem to be in trouble.

Yes ... No, I noticed after saying. Alfred's eyes are definitely there.

"No, I can't cure it. I told a person familiar with the path that it was kind of magic." "Magic ..." "It seems that only a saint can cure" "A saint?"

“Saint” —The only one of hereditary systems that continues to reign at the pinnacle of [Recovery Magic].

"... Kame Shrine?" Gravel "Yes. I can't get close to that country easily. Even with a saint. I've been hoping to meet for a few months, but I'm still a pear."

I guess. It is a country that was trying to covertly invade the Kingdom of Castal with the highly dependent and dangerous drug Carameria. Even a contestant in the title battle must not be straightforward.

…… Um. If there is one possibility.

One-pointer "You may know something if it's the second. No, you must know. I'll tell you while you are in the kingdom."

If you're a weird team master, you know a solution other than Saints. I can say so with certainty. I haven't seen or heard any more knowledge of his skills.

"... Thank you, I'll count on you."

Alfred bows with gratitude for my suggestion. Then I continued.

"You're very kind. And ... there's a strong sense of justice.

Did you notice it? In this anger, my intestines boiled.

"Blank my eyes ... I'm out of language. As I noticed slightly, I was an old man who wasn't good enough." "The old man is a seemingly easygoing old man, but darkness swirls in his belly. It's a very old man, and cruel. There's no choice to win. "" ... Retaliation. "" Yes. I've been extremely blind bowing today for this day. It's been piled up so much that I can't afford it here. "

Alfred's determination was rather firm. By the way, I can't afford to do it in the next round. It's a rude act against him, the Second Lord, and the spectators.

"But after listening to you, there's one thing I need to say about that old man's disciple, mixed sisters." "Dee and Jay?" "That's Ernte. I have studied under Ernte for many years. Is that person right to bend? "

What does it mean? Should it be bent ...? ......

"Isn't it? Ernte!" "Yes. It is none other than Ernte who brought them up like that. I use that character to gather information about my opponents in advance. The troublesome part is that I hate Dee and Jay, and Ernte's name remains intact. Even though the instigator is Ernte ...! "

Alfred clashes his fist and reveals his calm anger. Maybe he's been hurt by the fact that his mixed eyes are being used rather than his eyes being crushed. Looking at his sad expression, I felt so.

"I understand. Ernte is such an old man. An enemy that must be defeated with this hand. So I have to beat you anyway."

…… betting weights are different.

I finally understood what Second Lord was saying. It will make you feel sorry-.

"I'm sorry, Alfred. I won't lose."

Demon sword battle, challenger decision tournament final. The opponent is blind archer Alfred.

I and he were just silently holding the bow and waiting for the referee's voice, without saying anything.

...... Even if you win or lose, there is no grudge.

"start!"

An order is required. I was prepared, but prepared Infantry Archery and fired it at Alfred.

New Surprise Tactics, Participants-"Demon Killing" It is the first move.

"sweet"

Alfred shunned himself with a minimum of movement, as if he knew that an arrow would fly there.

Then he fires Infantry Bowery just to counterattack.

"Muh !?"

sharp. The aim is several steps higher than Dee shoots. At this distance, I have accurately captured my head.

However, it is still tepid. There are monsters in the world that aim and shoot only at the face, even between the eyebrows, as if breathing, no matter how far they move. I had been training with such a man for three weeks. After all, I was used to it.

"Hah"

Next is "Infantry Archery". With a three-shot hit. This is also a preparation for “killing new demons”.

"It's a good arm."

Then we continued skirmishing each other with Infantry Archery.

Alfred is looking at me. That's exactly what Second Lord said. I'm new face, I'm missing information. I saw that my aim was to take the point after.

But I don't want you to think that I was just shooting Infantry Archery.

If you want to set up, here it is ...!

"Let's take it! Kill the new demon!"

I followed the courtesy and rushed forward.

Alfred has some sort of skill ready. Probably a "response system". That choice is not mistaken by nature.

... Originally.

"What ...?"

In the sky I prepared 《Angling Archery》 according to Alfred ’s skill preparation and released it to the sky.

Messed up. I could see that.

"Go!"

Alfred, who probably didn't know what he was aiming for, canceled the skill he had prepared and moved quickly three steps to the left.

…………great. I really went to the left. That's exactly what I aimed for.

Until now, I've fired Infantry Archery to drive to the right. Considering that outside = defeat, you want to move left unconsciously. It was a very simple induction, but the effect was outstanding.

"I had a game!"

I shout loudly, approaching with all my might.

My Angling Archery is just a short distance from Alfred's brain.

"Be careful!"

However. The arrow never reached Alfred.

He quickly prepares Incense Archery, releases it above his head, and shoots the approaching Angle Archery arrow.

"... Sorry" "!?"

-Before you play. The combination of Infantry Archery and Keima Bowery, which I shouted and screamed at, hit the arrow of Angled Archery first.

Kin! Such a high-pitched sound resounds.

Angled Archery has a penetrating effect, and the combination of Infantry Archery and Keima Bowry has no penetrating effect. Therefore, if they collide, the penetrating arrow should prevail.

But what if the arrow hits the side of the penetrating arrow?

The answer is wrong. The trajectory of the penetrating arrow shifts. Even if you hit a weaker skill than Infantry Archery, then you're out of luck.

"Goo!"

Alfred's "Incense Wheel Archery" no longer hits the penetrating arrow with a slightly shifted trajectory. He eats Horned Archery on his left shoulder and suddenly loses his balance.

"Ku ... well, not yet!"

But he did not fall. He regains his position with terrible energy and attempts to shoot Infantry Archery at here.

“…………”

I silently fired Golden Bow. Range attack within 3m radius + knockback.

...... It was already so close. Alfred was cornered to the point where I couldn't capture my position. Nevertheless, he was trying to attack until the very end without kneeling.

"---!"

Alfred is blown backwards by the knockback effect.

Oh. The destination is ...

Outside the venue "! Up to that! Winner, Sylvia Virginia!"

Always have multiple aims. That's what I learned from Second.

The new demon killer responds to the 《Angling Archery》 from the sky, shifts the trajectory just before with 《Keiuma Bowry》, shows it as a favorite, and at the same time aims at a short range attack from a sudden approach Tactics.

For Alfred the blind, it would have been a tricky tactic.

So …… there was no end to it.

"... Leave the Ernite demon lord, leave it to me."

Short, one word. Speaking just so, Alfred fainted.

... I can't lose. The stock of surprise tactics is now zero. Well, what happened?

However, I found what to bet.

I am a knight. Knight of the second hall. I fight for justice to keep his order for his beloved title fight ...!

Demon sword battle, final match. My partner, of course. This old man smiling with a smile. Erunte demon general.

I said, "It seemed that he put moxibustion on Dee and I was saved. I was burning my hand.

I can say that well. That's what you sent to me.

"Is it scary?" "What?" "Is it scary to lose to me? Many of the tactics I used against Dee and Alfred. right?"

It can be said dignifiedly. Then, Ernte's expression grew stronger.

"The barking like a weaker monster. Isn't the Lord who can't afford it?" "I won't know unless I try it." "Hah ... haha! Hahahaha!" "... what's wrong"

-I'm terrified. Suddenly, Erunte laughed, opening one eye hidden behind the old, wrinkled, wrinkled skin, glanced at me and opened her mouth, laughing in a distorted manner.

"Whether Dee comes, Jay comes, that young man comes, or the Lord comes, I win. Everything has been revealed before you reach here, including in your hands. No matter how much your feet are scratched, the demon slayer is mys. "" ... sneaky. "" No matter what. You only have to win. No matter what hand you use, only the one who wins last will laugh. For 400 years I lived that way, otherwise I won't win, otherwise I wouldn't live, I'll tell the ignorant Lord. It's a murder decisive battle to wash your hands. "" I used the mixed sisters again. "" What do you like so much? Do you want to destroy the contestants, or give your disciples an unusual archery that never beats the teacher? Thing or sac to obtain? "" Differents, all but ...... Tsu! "

Hold the bow and move to each other in place.

――I want to win. I have never wanted to win this much.

Win, win, win. win……!

"start!"

An order is issued by the referee. I immediately rushed to close the line with Ernte.

First, kill the demon. Next is the incense wheel rocket. And kill the new demon. Do everything you can.

"Well, what comes from?"

Ernte has a generous look.

Look at me. I'll distort that face, shame!

* * *

"Well, what happens ..."

The match between Sylvia and Ernte was largely as I expected.

Demon killing, incense wheel rockets, new oni killing ... All do not pass through Ernte. Everything has been shown once.

Ernte didn't give him the opportunity to shoot 《Angel Archery》 at his feet, dig a hole with 《Ryuuma Archery》, or guide him to the edge with 《Infantry Archery》.

"Gua!"

Sylvia will also be hit.

If surprise tactics don't work, it's time to compete.

Hundreds of years of experience and three weeks of experience….

"Well ... oh!"

stand up.

Many times. Many times.

Sylvia rises without discipline, and faces the Demon General.

I can't win. I always knew that before the game.

... but still. stand up. Confront it. At least, with a single blow, to Jiji with a laugh.

"Not yet ...!"

Sylvia was full of wounds. The left arm, which was used as a shield, has three arrows stuck in it, and will no longer move.

so. There is no more means of attack.

Still. stand up. Confront it.

Like an idiot. Just be straight.

Many times. Many times. Many times.

"That's right ... let's go ...!"

When I noticed, I got up from the seat and cheered.

So is eco. With me. I can't stay or stand.

“—Sylvia!

Cheering voices fly from the audience seats. Noir Virginia spoke out. He was Silvia's father.

That silenced, solid-looking person would raise his voice so far. Anyone who knows him may have been really surprised ... I like it, that's it!

"Go, go ahead! Get out! Sylvia!" "Go, go!

I will cheer for you.

Sylvia is surely burning to justice now.

I can never lose.

He can't lose.

Then I would have to cheer.

May he fall down positively at least.

"Uoooooo!"

Sylvia screamed, screaming, sprinkled with blood and vomiting.

"It's useless, useless."

Ernte's Infantry Archery attacks the body.

"Guu, guh ... guuuu!"

I pierced it swiftly.

Sylvia's legs stop.

Still, never kneel.

"I'll finish it soon."

Ernte muttered reluctantly and prepared Rookie Bows.

"--Sylvia !!"

I cried involuntarily.

"Guu, u ... uuu ah ah ah !!!!"

Sylvia moves forward in response to my cry.

I can't even turn the arrow on the bow. Just keep it straight.

That's right ...

Go ahead ...! go! go! Let's go ...! !

"It's useless"

Ernte releases Rookie Bow.

……everyone.

I thought that was the end.

"--what!?"

Ernte's face stains astonishingly.

Sylvia fell down on the ground and evaded Erunte's Carry Bow.

Did he still have such reserves?-It was such a surprise.

"Wow!"

Surprise is not over yet.

Sylvia violently pulled the arrow that had stuck in his left arm with his right hand and gripped it with the other hand.

"Eat it!"

Attack to my warrior.

"Ugap !?"

It's no longer [bowing], nothing.

Sylvia plunged the arrow in her right hand into Ernte's neck.

"Guu ... but ...?"

"Happiness ... Happiness ... Happiness ...!"

Ernte retreated a few steps while holding down his neck.

The face is distorted by pain.

... and then.

"This is my puss!

Scream.

Ernte was outraged.

Immediately activates Infantry Bowing and strikes Sylvia's face.

「――Tsu」

critical hit.

Ernte approaches Sylvia, who falls on her back, and steps on her neck.

"It's my neck! An arrow! I'll stab! Forgive me! Forgive me!"

Keep kicking like a stomach and a belly.

It was too ugly.

"Yes, there is a game! Winner, Ernite demon general!"

"Sekandodo"

Eco gives a voice.

... Oh, that's right.

"Leave it"

I'm a word to eco.

Then he told a word to the blind man sitting behind me and stood up.

Bless that cool brave man.

Give the ugly old man a hammer.

* * *

“…… n…”

The consciousness that should have been lost is recalled as if someone had stroked the cheek.

When I opened my eyes slowly, my beloved stood there.

"Drink this!"

Potion is passed.

……Oh, I see. I have lost.

“…………?”

Slightly raises his upper body, drinks a high-quality potion, and looks around.

I thought it was a waiting room, but it was still the center of the arena.

"????"

So why is Second Palace here ...?

“—Attention! From now on, we will have an exhibition match with the boss of Ernte and the Second First Test!”

...... Uh, it's a lie?

"N-Why! I don't ask!

"I order it in the name of the king of the kingdom of Castal, Main Castal.

"... to your Majesty"

"Let's go to the position. Ernite demon slayer." "No escape, Jijii."
