“…………………”
“…………………”
Several minutes had passed since Cardis signaled the start of the match.
Carla and I remained motionless, still holding our weapons.
That being said, I’m just a Shield, so all I can do is wait for her attack.
If I tried to strike with the Shield, I’d leave myself wide open and be done for in an instant.
“Carla, what’s wrong? Prince Harold is willing to keep taking your attacks. Are you perhaps holding back?”
Christia, losing patience, provoked her.
Starting with that, the others began to urge her on one after another, including Cardis, who was supposed to be the referee.
“Haa… As Prince Harold’s younger brother, I’m ashamed…”
“Wilfred-sama…”
I caught sight of Wilfred pressing his temples and shaking his head, while Christia gazed at him with teary emerald eyes.
Honestly, if you want to flirt, can’t you do it somewhere else? It’s annoying to see that out of the corner of my eye.
“Tch… Saying whatever they want…”
Carla grimaced and clicked her tongue, seemingly fed up with the outside noise.
I totally understand how she feels.
“…However, Prince Harold is a formidable opponent. Despite my repeated feints, he shows no openings at all.”
“Ah, haha…”
Isn’t my evaluation a bit too high? Besides, isn’t it you who has no openings? Thanks to that, I have no choice but to become a turtle.
“Even so, it’s true that we won’t get anywhere like this. Then… here I come!”
“!?”
Having made up her mind, Carla kicked off the ground, holding her Wooden Sword in a central stance.
Whoa, she’s fast. She might even be better than Sandra’s brother, Cedric.
But.
“!?! He still blocks it!”
“Of course!”
I’ve been enduring Sandra’s attacks, which are many times faster and heavier, in my daily Special Training. Compared to that, I can handle this much.
After that, I continued to block Carla’s relentless attacks until she took some distance and caught her breath.
I also took a deep breath to match her.
By this point, I had completely forgotten about the outside noise, Wilfred, Cardis, and Christia.
I firmly accepted only the gazes of Sandra and the others, pushing me forward.
“Fufu… At first, I thought it was a troublesome and rude request, but now I must thank Lady Saint.”
“Lady Carla?”
“Isn’t that right? I can fight Prince Harold, who is so strong, to my heart’s content.”
Carla gave a full smile and happily declared.
Ah… Come to think of it, she usually disciplines herself as a Holy Knight, but in reality, she was one of the leading battle maniacs in EnHaza.
“Ahaha…”
Remembering that, I chuckled.
Even though I didn’t want to get involved with the heroines, I’m still happy and excited to actually meet the heroines of EnHaza in reality, as a fan.
“Then, I would like Prince Harold to accept this by all means. The greatest technique that this Carla Delminio boasts.”
Carla lowered her stance and held her Wooden Sword overhead.
That stance, I’ve seen it in the EnHaza when she uses that skill.
–The strongest earth-attribute ultimate skill, Direct Drive.
“Here I come! Direct Drive!”
“! Here it comes!”
Carla jumped up in one motion and swung her sword down with all her might.
Like a meteor shower falling in the night sky, she unleashed a barrage of sword strikes.
But.
“Oooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“Guh…! This oooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
I held the Shield up and blocked each and every blow with spirit.
If I hadn’t obtained the Kongo Fuhai Title, I might not have been able to defend against this technique.
…No, if it weren’t for Sandra’s Special Training, I would have been instantly killed.
My battle to survive, which began when I regained my memories of my previous life and met my favorite fiancée, has made me this strong thanks to everyone.
Therefore.
“I will never lose! I will block every attack!”
“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
My and Carla’s shouts echoed through the Training Grounds.
Neither of us yielded an inch, neither of us backed down, one wielding a sword, the other defending with a Shield.
After repeating such back-and-forth exchanges, Carla’s attacks, having consumed all her SP due to the skill usage, became only normal attacks.
Even so, she didn’t stop her sword. As long as she had the strength, as long as even one finger could move, she would continue to fight to the end.
That’s the kind of heroine Carla Delminio is.
“Fufu! Fun! This is fun!”
“Kuhaha! It is!”
Before I knew it, I was drawn in by her and became engrossed in the match.
Of course, I was just continuing to receive Carla’s attacks.
And yet.
“…I declare Lady Carla Delminio the winner of this match.”
“!?”
Cardis, who was serving as the referee, grimaced and announced the end of the match mercilessly.
