The start of the match and Orobus-san shooting arrows at the same time.

　We could hear the sound of arrows being shot through the silver and white wall that Belito had put out.

　Fulkas-san is the size of a moving statue, so even with a wall as tall as our height, we could see his movements.

''Well then, Belito, good luck with your martial arts.

You too.

　We slammed our fists into each other for a moment and then parted.

　The wall was blown off by Fulkus-san's front kick.
　The one who struck his leg was Belito, clad in white and silver.

''........Isn't it Reme?

　After all those dares, I'm not the one who has to deal with her.

'Don't sound disappointed, it's fun for me too,'

It's my choice.

Yeah, so do that.

　I don't look back.
　With the magic flowing through my staff, I'm on my way to Orobus, the horse man archer.

"You think you can catch me with those two legs?

　She has the lower half of a horse and is galloping fast across the field on all four legs.

　She's also talking firmly to me and to a stranger.
　It's a distance that no one would imagine working in the same office temporarily.

'I don't know, maybe we won't be able to catch up,'

Isn't that the part where you say you'll catch me in a lie?

I'm not very good at lying.

Excellent. But how do you intend to defeat me with it?

　No matter how fast you are, as long as your presence is recognized, you can cast black magic.
　The horse people are low on magic resistance due to their race. It's a good clue.

　I'm going to be able to use the magic power through my staff to slow down.
　Her movements are visibly slowed down. This is a black magic that is infused with high-purity magic to increase its effectiveness by limiting its target and time.

　I run towards her at full speed.
　She was aware of the slowdown, and with careful movements to avoid mistakes, she turned the arrow - and released it.

　It's fast, but I can see every movement, so I know exactly what I'm aiming for.
　The problem is that there is no way for me to prevent it, and in this situation where even the slightest slowdown in evasion is regrettable.

　So I don't avoid it (,,,,).
　I hold my hand on the arrow's expected path.
　The arrow hits my palm area and is flicked off.

"!　

　It takes a lot of magic and time to get them out of a remote location.
　That's why I had my fist clothed in it when we discussed it.

　I can hide it in my robe, and if you're wondering about my equipment, it's still going to be a planted staff. It wasn't that hard to hide the fact that I had the white silver clad on the opposite arm from holding the wand.

''Even so, to not slow down the slightest bit...''

　As he said that, Orobas-san put away his bow and pulled out a spear - from the cloth hanging from his own body.
　I haven't heard of her training in spearmanship, so I guess she learned it roughly from Fulkas-san.
　This is also the first time she has pulled out a spear in this tournament, so I can't judge her skill.

　The distance between me and Orobus-san is closing.
　We're almost in range of her spear attack.
　Just as I was about to step in one more step, it came.

　I had expected it, but I couldn't avoid it perfectly.
　I managed to miss the magic organ, but it pierced my abdomen.

　Fulkas-san's magic tool. An ultra-long-distance stab with a shapeshifting spear.

I'm not going to be able to get out of it.

　She had found a momentary opening to attack me as she fought Belito.
　A long, long spear extended from her hand to the underside of my abdomen.

　--Okay (,).

　The words before the game are not false. I believe that Verito and I can beat Fulkas-san and Orobus-san if we're alone.
　After that statement, I left her partner to Verito and never paid any attention to her afterwards.
　From her point of view, I'm a gaping hole.

　It was one of the strongest possibilities I had thought of to come for the moment when my awareness was strong and focused on Orobus-san.
　That's why I had told Belito.

　He told me not to interfere with the thrusts that were aimed at me.
　When the spear is fully extended, I take a look at the hilt - and grip it.

"Verito!

I know!

　Fulkus-san's spear is a wonder.

　As long as it doesn't deviate from the form of the spear as a weapon, it can change its shape as it pleases, and on top of that, the worn out parts can be discarded.
　Just like in the fight against the Fenix, the part of that guy that was on fire could be cut off and avoided being burned down.

　Then there's something to be concerned about.
　The part that was discarded is no longer a magic tool. It's just a piece of spear. This has been verified.

　Then what separates the main body from the 'part'?
　The tip of the spear, not. This was discarded many times. The same goes for the butt. So it's not the tip of the spear.

　As far as I can see, there is no special decoration or markings.
　I did not ask. No matter how many mates you have, there are some things you shouldn't feel comfortable asking.

　So it's a gamble from here on out.
　It's not like me, which is why Mr. Fourcas shouldn't have imagined it.

　It's not like Leme to set up a strategy based on that when there's no proof and it's not clear from the information gathered beforehand.
　It's precisely because of such a strategy that I was able to get through to her.

"There's no room for strangers, Shitenno-san!

　Belito struck the hilt of the spear that Mr. Fulkas had thrust out towards me.

''

　Fulkus-san's body language is still alive and well even with her armor on.
　Not a single person has been able to touch her armor in the battle so far.

　But the spear?
　Of course, it's different. Spears are a means of attack. A weapon. One that touches the opponent and sometimes touches the opponent's weapon no matter what.

　If Belito had tried to hit her here, he would have reacted. Or rather, Fourcas-san should have expected that.
　But a spear. Because it is a weapon that is supposed to collide, because it is capable of regeneration, combined with this situation, the level of caution should have been lower than that of the body.

　That's where the strike came in.
　The spear will crush and break.
　Normally, there would be no problem.

　I could instantly extend it and skewer Berit.
　But I couldn't.

"Come on.

　It was me who gave the order.
　I won the bet.

　The spear - the longer one becomes the body.

　He fired a thrust at me, which opened up the distance, and Berit broke it off right from my hand.
　Everything from there to me is much longer.
　The spear shortens as I remind myself, and it also exits from my stomach.

　

　No, it's one time in Remegeton and one time in Reme, so only a few people think so.
　I hold the spear with one hand while maintaining the speed reduction.

''As I thought, I couldn't catch up with them.

...from the beginning.

　--Extension.

　Fulkus-san's spear will pierce Kay-san's chest.

You'll get it back.

　The voice was close.
　A huge black knight is closing in on you, disregarding the liquid silver that clings to it, breaking the silvery white wall.

"Don't ignore me...!

　Just because it's huge doesn't mean it's slow. It has a wide stride, so it's hard to catch up with her when she runs.
　And inevitably, running away.

　Run away though.

　Fulkas-san's fist gouges the ground.
　The spot where my body was a moment ago.
　Now it's different.

　I was moving by rapidly contracting my spear.
　But for this, the tip of the spear had to be fixed.

　The tip of the spear that pierced Orobus-san had a return (...) on the tip of the spear, so that it could not be easily removed.
　That's why I'm heading to Orobus-san, who hasn't left yet.



Excuse me.

No. They don't take me down for free either.

　Throwing the spear. I throw away my staff and replace the spear and point the hand of the one clad in white and silver.



　The blow carried by the momentum penetrated my hand through the thinly pasted silver and pierced my hand.
　But I manage to grab that spear.

　It is because Orobus-san had his bow at the ready.
　Is it one shot in time? Or maybe two.

　I flick one of the arrows that is released with the spear she gave me (...).
　The second arrow pierced my shoulder.
　And so we collide.

　I pulled out Fulkus-san's spear and gave it to her again - no, there was no need for that.
　The burden of stepping into throwing the spear with a serious injury, the current collision, and the outflow of magic power due to the spear being pulled out further.
　Due to these, her body had collapsed.
　With a powerful slowdown hanging over her, she was on the verge of exiting, yet that move. A great archer.

　While listening to the sound of the black knight's footsteps approaching behind me, I'm going to make my next move.
