The first game. A Hawkman knight with wings sprouting from his back came out to his opponent. The knight brandishes his weapon's spear and announces his name.

''I am Airtis, Captain of the First Squadron of Fretia Cavalry Knights!　Now, go ahead and call them out!

I didn't expect a flying partner to come along, but I think I've got one.

I call Livina. The male knights, they are delighted. But Airtis is not happy.

"I didn't think you'd have a dream demon species as a companion. But with such a small fry, there's no point in talking.

Do you mean me, small fry?　You look like this, and you're strong against men, right?

Hm. Time to replace it?

Oops. She's a pretty confident guy, but I wouldn't say that to Livina.

"I'm not changing my mind. Livina, do you want a weapon?

Of course. I'm going to snap that man's confidence.

And then the battle began.

'Let's go!　Penetray!

Trying to use the spear martial arts, Airtis fragilely looked at Libina and went into a state of fascination and fell to her knees.

''O, my dear... shall I show you the whore's dream of a princess who swears my allegiance!　But this is not enough to defeat me!

I'm doing my best, but your nose is bleeding.

'Wow!　Great. Sir Knight!　And, too. I have polli.

Airtis's eyes widened and he collapsed. 'Poor man... but his fallen form was full of joy.

'There's a winner!　Winner, Livina!

'You did it!　Big win!　Now you've got the right to get the rights to the tact's kneecap!

What's that? I didn't say anything about it, but apparently that's what they're talking about among Lily and the others... well, I'll give them that much as a reward.

My fellow Hawkman knights had gathered at Airtis' side.

'Captain Airtis!　Get a grip!

'I always tell you to keep your reports to yourself!

'Report what you see!　Captain.

Aerthis speaks.

"Fresh... fruit... peaches...

Airtis ran out of power.

''Captain~!

They're a close knighthood. Princess Sarah, on the other hand, was a wolfish woman.

It's the worst.

No, that was a bad match... but then again, to be that strong... I'd love to fight you.

Yeah.

Then Princess Sarah draws her sword.

'You're joking, right?　Princess.

'Yes. Just kidding.

"...After this exercise, gather everyone together. I will show you what it means to be a knight.

The battle of Livina had left a scar on the Order of Freetia in many ways.

Game Two.

From the Order of Fretia came a painful handsome man who added a rose to his mouth. Let's be clear. He doesn't look strong at all.

''Hmph. I'm Robert, captain of the Frontier Guard Knights First Squadron!　He is the most handsome man in the Order of Fretia and is known as Robert the Beautiful Sword. Beautiful blue-haired young lady, let's have a game of vulgarity!　I'll take you by the hand and teach you swordsmanship.

What, you're picking on her? This guy. I tried to beat him up, but I didn't have to.

"Mr. Tact taught me that.

You were blithely rejected. The handsome man froze. The knights around him are also laughing.

There's no doubt... this guy was chosen for some reason.

'You!　How dare you refuse my invitation, a nobleman!

So being a nobleman is a good thing and this bonbon... yeah. I think I get what he's saying.

There's a lot of chattering going on here, and we'll have to choose someone else as well... but we've got a partner in mind.

"Love Fire, can we go?

'What?　Yay!　Let's go!

You're frozen in place... are you okay?

"Koibariyasu, Okibariyasu.

Oh, but I'll do my best!

Hmm? I guess cheering for the Japanese foxes helped to relieve some of the tension.

Hm!　Cerian Beasts...well, that's okay. There's nothing to fear from a Cerian Beast that can't use the Blood Awakening!

Hi, nice to meet you!

Apparently, Robert's voice didn't reach Love Fire.

'The second match, Robert vs. Love Fire. Begin!

'Beautiful!　Bonnavant!

Love Fire is still in an iaido stance against Robert, who is closing the distance in an instant with a thin sword thrust technique.

''Ah!　N...strike out!

Hardened and slow to react, Love Fire quickly meditated and released an unprovoked strike. A sound that sounded like a blow with a blunt instrument was broadcast in the hall.

Oh...what?

Love Fire was the first to speak out. Against Robert, who closed the distance with a bonnaban, Love Fire took a step forward and used a bukiatsu.

As a result, the distance between their techniques was off, and a sheath extraction strike exploded between Robert's legs as he accelerated with the Bonnaban. That was a fatal wound for a man.

As Love Fire fearfully shifted to the side, Robert fell to his knees. He jerked and twitched, but eventually stopped moving.

'Winner, love fire!'

'What?　Huh?　Huh?　Did you win?

It's funny that he's not able to swallow the situation.

'Love fire!　That was so cool!

Well, I've won!

It's kind of making me smile when I look at Wafu and Love Fire. As for the opposing Freetia side, Princess Sarah was upset.

''Totally... it's disgusting that you would fall down with a mere pullout.

It wasn't just an extraction, though...

He's been doing a lot of stuff lately, and I had to give him a fight to straighten out, but he's not straightened out, he's deadly... It hurts to watch.

"?　What are you holding down?

''It's nothing. Just be the princess you are.

They both wished very much for Princess Sarah to remain pure.


'So now it's my turn,'

You look happy.

I get to fight the guy I want. Shouldn't I be happy?

Right. But you're still a decent guy. You didn't have to go through the trouble of answering our request.

Garou says, and Princess Sarah assures him.

'Perhaps it was necessary,'

Hmm?　What do you mean?　Princess.

'It's simple. I suppose they wanted to compete with us just as much as we wanted to fight them.

I see.

'I suppose the Princess is right. Well, I'm off now. Your Highness.

A practice match against three of the strongest members of the Fretia Knights had begun.
