I returned from Liliwood-san's residence to Lilia-san's mansion.
　When I asked the servants, I heard that Lilia-san and the others were in the training grounds, so I decided to head that way.

　Aoi and Yona often use the training grounds from mid-morning to about noon, but there's actually a reason for that.
　In the afternoon, the people who are in charge of the mansion's security often use it, and it's because they may get in the way.
　Incidentally, they say that they are free to visit the mansion, and I've been allowed to visit a few times as well.

　Not to mention Lilia-san and Luna Maria-san, Anima, Eta, and Sita seem to have participated in this event.

　When I walked for a bit and reached the large training area behind the mansion, I heard a sound like a sword clashing with a sword coming.
　When I looked, I saw that while the guards were watching from a distance, a tremendous battle was taking place, too terrific to be called training.

　The sight of Sieg's two swords brilliantly handling the attack of Lunamaria-san, who held a short spear in one hand and a slender sword in the other, was also amazing, but more than that, my eyes were drawn to the other battle.
　

　In the training I've seen so far, Anima has been training Eta and Theta, and this is the first time I've seen her fighting Lilia-san.
　Anima once fought Sita and won, but that thing is actually not a reference to Anima's strength at all.

　At any rate, Anima at that time was in a state of having run over a number of mountains without sleep or rest on her feet after finishing her guard duty at Rigforesia, and although she didn't show it on her face, she was terribly tired.
　In fact, in the mock battle after Zita had come to serve me, Anima had won in one punch.

　
　However, even if it's not serious like this, Lilia-san who is facing off against Anima head-on should also be considered a marvel.

　While I was observing their battle while thinking about this, Sieg-san and Lunamaria-san seemed to have settled down, found me and approached me.

''........Lilia-san and Anima's fight is amazing.
''Yes, Anima-sama is as good as it gets. To be able to fight that Ojo-sama head on.......

　Luna Maria reacts to the words I say, and she responds with words of praise for Anima.
　I'm as happy as I am to see Anima being praised, and I can't help but smile at the corners of my mouth.

''Speaking of which, I've been wanting to ask you for a while now... but aside from Lunamaria-san, isn't Zeke-san as good as Lilia-san?''
Mr. Miyama, Mr. Miyama?　I sense malice in the statement, but...
'Luna's strength is that she's an all-rounder. You can't blame me for being one step inferior in direct combat... And to answer your question, I didn't fight Lili and was competitive until she was about '16'.
'What?　Really?!

　I had clearly thought that Lilia-san, Luna Maria-san, and Zeke-san were all equally competent, and that Lilia-san was slightly superior in overall strength.
　

　Seeing me in surprise, Lunamaria-san explained to me with a soft smile on her face.

''If possible, I don't want to fight against a demon race of that class...''
'Yeah, yeah, I heard you were relieved I didn't have to fight, too.

Oh...

　Indeed, if you ask me, Lilia-san had said that she was glad that she didn't end up antagonizing the high-ranking demon race before she found out Black's identity, but she hadn't said that she couldn't win.

''........Lili is kind of......vain in a weird way, so I guess she doesn't want to appear too savage. It's not every day that we fight seriously.

　I nodded in agreement with Zeke's words. It's true that Lilia-san is concerned about her ladylike nature and so on. Or rather, she doesn't seem to like being scared of her opponent, so she tries to hide such a strong part.......well, most of the time she can't hide it.

The young lady is truly a genius when it comes to fighting....even to the point of being called 'the strongest of the human race'.
''The only person of the human race who can fight Lili properly is His Majesty Laguna, the 'Strongest of the Human World'.

　His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Hydra, I believe, who was once a member of the first hero's party?
　

''........By the way, who's stronger, Anima or Lilia-san?''
If you're serious, I'm sure it'll be Lili.
So much for....

　Apparently, Lilia-san is stronger than I thought.
　Sieg-san and Lunamaria-san are also supposed to be the strongest class in the country, but even so, they're not at all comparable to Lilia-san.......hmmm. Great.

　Will I have the opportunity to see Lilia-san in a serious battle like that one day?　And with that thought in mind, I turned my gaze back to the still ongoing battle between Lilia-san and Anima.

　Dear Mom, Dad--I knew that Lilia-san was strong, but I didn't think she was stronger than Anima.
