The girl who used wind magic at the beginning of the fight holds my bear puppet.
“I was surprised the first time I saw it, because during the match, you cast magic out of this bear. But still, it’s nice and soft.” (Wind Magic Girl)
“I’m also thinking of getting one like that instead of a staff.” (Water Magic Girl)
The girl, who was controlling the water magic, said as she looked at the staff she was holding.
If it was another animal, I’m fine with it, but don’t make it a bear.
“I want to fight you again next year, but you weren’t a student in the royal capital, right?” (Water Magic Girl)
“Yeah.” (Yuuna)
“Then, enroll in the Euphalia academy, and we’ll be able to beat the royal capital school next year.” (Wind Magic Girl)
I think I heard a similar line earlier.
“Of course not. Yuuna will enroll at the Royal Capital Academy.” (Girl 1)
“It’s up to her to decide which school to enroll in.” (Wind Magic Girl)
“Yuuna is a friend of Shia, so it’s the royal capital.” (Girl 2)
“A match between friends may also be interesting.” (Water Magic Girl)
Somehow, a dispute between the girls of both schools began.
If I were a normie, I might say, “Don’t fight over me,” but I don’t have that skill set as a recluse.
I slowly and inconspicuously escaped the place.
“Ha~a”
I exhaled in an empty place.
Being surrounded by students was exhausting. It’s different from being surrounded by children.
“Yuna, what are you doing here all alone?” (Cereille)
“Cereille!?” (Yuna)
I wondered who called out to me for a moment, but it was Cereille.
“I’m not good with commotions.” (Yuna)
Hikikomoris were not fond of the noise made by a large crowd.
And I don’t want them to make a fuss about me. If they’re trying to pick a fight with me, I just get on with it, but if they’re not, I don’t know how to react.
“Is it okay for you, who played an active part in this event, to be in a place like this, Cereille?” (Yuna)
“Fufu, like you, Yuna, I’m also not good with noisy groups, so I escaped. Then I saw you.” (Cereille)
And that’s why she called out to me.
“Yuna, this time I lost. I didn’t think I could lose to you even with magic.” (Cereille)
“Just barely.” (Yuna)
“It didn’t look like that, though. I didn’t feel like we could take down your flag with a combination attack.” (Cereille)
“That’s not the case.” (Yuna)
By the rules, that’s the limit. Dangerous magic was forbidden, so I was on edge. The same can be said for the attackers like Cereille, so perhaps the situation was mutual.
“I wanted to have a serious match with you, Yuna.” (Cereille)
“That means we will have to kill each other.” (Yuna)
“Yes, indeed. If we have a serious match, it will happen.” (Cereille)
Cereille smiled.
“Yuna, you’re an adventurer, right?” (Cereille)
“For the time being.” (Yuna)
I don’t think I’ve done any adventurer-related work lately.
“Yuna, have you ever killed anyone on your job?” (Cereille)
“A person? I’ve seriously injured them, but I’ve never killed one.” (Yuna)
I have been inflicting severe injuries on people many times. The first adventurer I met, the bandit who attacked us on our way to the royal capital, the merchant who attacked Morin-san and her daughter in the royal capital, the bandit on the mountain path in the town of Mereera, and the guys in a black outfit that kidnapped Misa. I’ve left them half-dead, but I have yet to kill anyone.
“Why do you ask?” (Yuna)
“No, I just wondered since you had that much power. I am sorry if I offended you.” (Cereille)
Cereille slightly bowed her head.
“I just wondered what kind of feelings one would have to have to be able to kill someone.” (Cereille)
“It’s difficult.” (Yuna)
Even if you can beat them half-dead, the last step could still be held back. There’s a difference between half-dead and dead.
“Really, what’s wrong? I will hear you out.” (Yuna)
