“Mnn….”
I wake up.
Ah so that’s what happened.
I… with Airi.
“Are you awake Kazuha-sama”
“Yeah, good morni- Buha”
The moment I see Erinu, I nosebleed.
I’m also the same so I can’t say much though.
“Ah… Silly me…”
Erinu hurriedly cover herself with the sheet of the bed.
I too covered myself with the futon like a mantle.
“…”
“…”
We both become silent.
Just how long were we asleep.
“… I’ll go prepared some drinks”
“Eh? Ah, ok. Thanks…”
I answer awkwardly after understanding what happened last night.
I sleep for about 3 hours…
I need to return now since the finals will soon start.
I receive some hot lemon from Erinu.
Even so, that was great…
I didn’t think it’d feel that way…
“…this world really has a ton of unknown things…”
“Eh? Did you say something, Kazuha-sama?”
“Ah, nothing…”
Erinu gives me a carefree smile as she drinks her hot lemon.
Thanks to her I am sure that my heart is of a 『man』.
Though my body is a woman.
Everything’s fine.
With this I can fight against Yuuri just fine.
“… Haa. I feel that I used Erinu to fight against him…”
That kinda saddens me.
I love Erinu and that’s for sure but I can’t help but feel bad.
“『Yuuri Hacknacious』… the person that is『next in line』 to be a hero after Gail Alguard. He’s backed up by a lot of women, and even my mother is a fan.”
Yup.
Of course Erinu know Yuuri.
It’s because he’s the 『substitute candidate』.
“Even Queen Zemel fell to his devilishness…”
“Yes. I didn’t think anything upon seeing him but my mother told me about a mind numbing scent…”
“Muu…”
I fold my arms as I think.
I guess I wasn’t the only one who noticed that『scent』.
But Erinu not being affected means that it differs from person to person.
“It’s not as if he was using some kind of magic or skill… And it’s not like he’s always spraying aphrodisiac… but I think he’s a『natural born charmer』…”
“Fufu, if that’s the case then Kazuha-sama’s chastity is in danger”
“That’s not funny!”
I retort just like I always do.
I stick out my tongue towards Erinu.
The situation kinda settled down.
“… Now then, I’ll head back now”
I get up and wear my clothes.
“Yes. I won’t be able to see the match but I’ll pray for your victory”
And as if it’s natural, Erinu helps me in putting on my clothes.
She really is a great wife, that there will be a more suited person to her than me.
“After the match has been decided I’ll come visit again as the queen of 《Axeplant Kingdom》”
“Yes. I’ll happily wait for you”
We then exchange gaze for the last time.
And give farewell kiss.
◆◇◆◇
“UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
『GYAGYAN!』
I dash with my full strength towards 《Etherclan》.
It’s already a safe situation where I can use energy charge at it’s MAX.
『KIKII！！』
I blow away all the monster blocking the way.
Maybe I can even defeat two 『True Maou』 at the same time.
That’s just how my body and heart have improved.
『BUGEEEE！！』
I’m sure that I have wished for that to happen with Erinu from the bottom of my heart, as she have too.
A proof that are bonds have never been cut.
“AWRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!”
I kick the ground and jump.
The moon light illuminates my body.
I feel as if I’ve just defeated my demons.
To be clear, I feel as if I won’t lose.
Even if I have a 《attribute less》 armor or my 《zweihander》 has only 1 attack power or I can’t use 《fire magic》.
I’m sure I won’t lose to anyone.
“Bring it on! I won’t hold back even if you’re a woman! I can do this! I won’t just waste this life!”
『GUAAAA！！』
My scream and the monster’s shriek echo.
What a fierce harmony.
Bring it.
I’ll really give it my all!
◆◇◆◇
I return to the inn and sleep ’til morning.
I thought that I wouldn’t fall asleep because of the excitement but right now my heart and body is in sync.
I’ll take a bath and eat something and my excitement naturally settled down.
I comb my ruffled hair and look at my body.
With the mirror I put on my eye-patch.
“Right!”
I slap both of my cheek and put on the 《Zweihander》 to my side.
I also check my other equipment and took in mind my 『restraint situation』.
I’ll use my 《Skill》 to the fullest.
A lot of fearsome opponent will surely appear at the finals.
I’ll only use 《Shadow magic》 in dire situations.
In the first place 《Shadow magic》 is specialized in banishing so there aren’t that many user of it.
And I haven’t heard of 『proficient user』 other than me.
It’s notorious for being hard to use, hard to hit enemies with and activation lag.
《Bind》 is《shadow》 magic’s top spell that no normal human can’t properly use.
It strong enough to bind an 100% of an enemy’s power.
If I use it then the tournament will loose it’s fun.
My goal is to win but I also have the goal of raising my greatsword skill.
“Yuuri and Deborg… Lumeria maybe even Airi…”
It is certain that they will enter the top 10.
For some reason things have become exciting.
Maybe after the match I’ll scout them to join 《Infinity Corridor》.
With those thoughts in mind I make my way to the arena.
“Mnn….”
