Lunamaria appeared suddenly in front of the princess Lilianne, left her with some meaningful words... But after that, Lunamaria didn't appear in front of Lilianne for a year, and before long, Lilianne forgot about her too.
　And then exactly one year later at the martial arts tournament.......Lunamaria showed up.

''Oh my God!　Division Commander!
What's going on?

　Lilianne asks back curiously to her subordinate female knight who jumped into the waiting room.

''Ji, Deputy Divisional Commander Sieglinde........lost!
What ... it's Zeke!　

　Lilianne and Sieglinde already possessed a head-to-head combat power on a country-by-country basis, let alone within the Order. Lilianne knew that very well, and she thought that she would definitely fight Sieglinde in the final again this year.
　But that was overturned, and Lilianne next asked who that opponent was. The only opponent Sieglinde could think of that Sieglinde would lose to was the Knight Commander within the Order.
　However, the Knight Commander had won 10 years in a row in the past to become a Hall of Famer, and he wasn't supposed to be participating in martial arts competitions at the moment.

''........Black Lily. Lunamaria the Black Lily Adventurer.
Luna Maria.

　Hearing the name her subordinate told her, Lilianne's mind conjured up a picture of the blue-haired woman she met a year ago, and naturally her hand with the sword was filled with strength.
　Just as she was about to ask for more information, Sieglinde returned to the anteroom assigned to the Second Order.

''I'm back. I'm sorry Lilianne I've lost.''
'Yes, I just heard that you're strong enough to lose?　The black lilies....
'I suppose it would be more accurate to say I'm clever than strong. I've been completely 'sealed off'. I've heard that the better adventurers are more versatile than the better adventurers because adventurers often work in small numbers, unlike the Knights, but... she was exactly that. I guess she saw through my fighting habits, but she didn't let me fight the way I wanted at all.
Not really.

　Lilianne was well aware of Sieglinde's strength. That was why she couldn't believe that she had been sealed off.
　However, as she listened to the story afterwards, she understood that Lunamaria was tremendously strong. A granting magic that Sieglinde excels at. It seems that she has foreseen the characteristics of it and the timing of its activation, and depending on the situation, she dares to throw away her weapon and switch to another one, or interrupt the moment of its activation, and she has performed a brilliant maneuver.

''........Be careful, Lilianne. Although you are superior in pure physical ability, you are a terrifyingly versatile opponent. It's better to approach it as if your skills are defeated.
Okay.

　After nodding earnestly at Sieglinde's words, Lilianne went to her own match with a large sword in her hand.







　The final match of the martial arts tournament. Standing in front of Lilianne, who had won well, was Lunamaria, who had defeated Sieglinde as expected.
　Behind Lunamaria, who held a short spear in one hand and a shield in the other, a large number of weapons, such as swords and axes, were thrust into the ground behind her.
　In martial arts tournaments, the use of magic boxes is prohibited during matches. Therefore, someone like Lunamaria, who switches multiple weapons to suit the situation, must take them out of the magic box beforehand and leave them there.
　

　A year ago, Lunamaria used to talk a lot, but she didn't speak a word in front of Lilianne, as if she was sharpening up. However, the moment the referee announced the start of the match, Lunamaria opened her mouth.

''It's been a year since I've seen you. Your Royal Highness.''
I thought you gave me your name?
'Oh, I remember, of course. Goreanne or something like that, right? That's an appropriate name for a brainiac brainiac.
....

　Lilianne doesn't have a very high tolerance for agitation. That's because she is basically a princess, Lilianne, and there is usually no one who would disgrace her so squarely.
　That's why, at Lunamaria's words, Lilianne had a blue streak on her forehead.

''Are you ready, okay?''
I don't need any more crap, so just get on with it and get on with it, King or Lady, Lord or Lady.
f*ck!

　Seeing an annoyed Lunamaria's smile, Lilianne kicked the ground while gushing magic power like lightning all over her body and headed towards Lunamaria at once.
　

　You fell into it beautifully!　It's great!　Hey, how do you feel now?　
....

　At Lunamaria's words of agitating down to my will, Lilianne's body trembled in anger as she pulled in the hole.
　

''~~!
It's really simple or straightforward... or maybe it's just that you fall into the trap the way you want.
I won't allow it!　Such a cowardly.......I will never allow you to do this!

　Lilianne flashes her sword with a look of rage, shattering the air into pieces on the wall, and then leaps out of the hole and holds her sword up. The will to no longer let down some of her guard is in her eyes.

''........You're sweet. You really are sweet. Haven't you noticed?　What did I use the hand of the pit for....
What are you...
'Too late!　Look behind you!　My 'special technique formula' has already been completed!
What did you say?

　Hearing Lunamaria's words, Lilianne hurriedly looked back behind her..........but there was no special killing technique anywhere.

''Noooooooo!''
What?

　Then Lunamaria's dropkick exploded on the defenseless back and blew it wide open.

''........This, this!　Cowards!
'I wish you could call it strategy. You just have to win, if you win.

　No longer does Lilianne look angry to the point that her veins are about to break, and yet she still calmly held her great sword at the ready, sent several magic bullets flying to make sure there were no pitfalls in the ground, and kicked the ground again... ''Before I knew it, I was trapped by the grass that was wrapped around my legs. (What?

What?　Huh?

　Lilianne tries to fall forward, surprised that she was set up again. The next thing I knew, Lunamaria was right in front of me, waving her hand wide.
　And in her hand, there was a 'pie' with white cream smeared on it for some reason.

'Good angle, I got it!
Why did you do it?

　The pie slammed cleanly into Lilianne's face, turning her face white. An indescribable silence washed over the hall.......Lillianne wiped her face with her sleeve and shouted loudly.

''What are you laughing at!　I will never forgive you again!
Yeah, come on over.

　The expression on Lilianne's face right now was something that even Sieglinde, who was watching the game, had never seen before. How could it be, Lilianne had always been mature, in a good and bad way.
　She'd never had an emotional outburst like this. But what about now?　Pissed off, Lilianne turned to Lunamaria and shot at each other, angry... angry... but somehow, she seemed to be enjoying herself.

'That's quite a feat. Then I'm here to show you my tonsure technique!
'Kick!　You didn't use a tonfa!
I'm using it. You're a little kid who doesn't understand this.
I'm not a kid!

　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
　After the exchange of blows continued for a while, Lilianne saw that Lunamaria had switched her weapon to a spear, and she smiled slightly.
　She then leapt to the foothold with the protruding spear and held the large sword at the large upper level with an innocent smile as if the mischief had succeeded when she saw the surprised Lunamaria.
　Seeing Lilianne like that, Lunamaria smiles softly.

(That's right........I wanted to see that face.)

　They were fighting and laughing at each other, and Sieglinde looked somewhat jealous when she saw Solee.

''I got it!''
Yuck!
What?

　Against the great sword that is swung down, Lunamaria throws the weapon away and catches the blade between her two fists. That fist's white-winged take is the one that Lilianne showed at the tournament a year ago.......
　However, Lunamaria doesn't have the arm strength to crush the sword. So Lunamaria twisted the sword as it was and broke Lilianne's stance.
　If this was on the ground, it would have been impossible to break Lilianne's stance with the difference in strength. However, Lilianne was in the air now, and she couldn't get her footing.
　A kick slammed into Lilianne's collapsed body and Lilianne was blown wide open. However, the damage didn't seem to be much, and she quickly got up and smiled.

''........Next time, I'll guess.''
"Hmmm........you look good, 'Riri'.
Lili?
It's Lillianne, so it's a nickname. Nowadays, the trend in the market is to call each other by a nickname. Well, maybe the princess doesn't know that.
'I know!　I knew it I swear!　Wow, I call Zeke Zeke too!

　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get away with it.

"Well, that's a lie.
I'm going to kill you for this!　Brace yourself, 'Luna'!
'Luna it's Luna........not bad. Okay, come on, come on, Lili!
I'm coming, Luna!

　Lilianne's smile was definitely on her lips as she once again held her large sword at the ready and headed towards Lunamaria. Forgetting about the behavior of a princess and the eyes of those around her.......it's like enjoying the first fight of your life....
