How did this happen...

Give up, Temma. It's a disease. Many of the beastmen wish to test their strength.

　Grandpa was the only one who responded to my murmur, and the rest were cheering for me and Amur's mother (called Hana-san), who was facing each other in great excitement.
　Hana-san, without paying attention to her surroundings, was wielding the spear with which she had submerged Viscount Lobo and Amur, and doing some sort of preparatory exercise, while I took out the stick I always use for practice and did a little exercise to lightly relax my body.
　To be honest, I don't really have any intention of fighting Hana-san in earnest, but looking at that movement, I think I would lose with that kind of thinking. Amur and Blanca said they were the strongest among themselves, at least if they did it the same way they did when they fought Blanca, this time it wouldn't take more than one arm.

'Are you ready?'

Yes, sir.

Okay, let's get started. Blanca, please give us a sign.

After that, chasing an unconscious opponent is also prohibited. We'll stop if one of us gives up or I'm out of combat. Both sides, if you agree, take your positions and get ready.........then begin!　

　All the time, Blanca checked the rules while making an apologetic look at me. In her mind, she probably wants it to be cancelled for some reason, but that convenient thing didn't happen with the stones.

''Say!''

　Almost at the same time as Blanca's hand was swung down, Hana-san thrust her spear out. There was only one shout, but there were actually three spear attacks, all of which were delivered within a breath.
　The first and second time I saw this attack (the first and second time was on Amur), so I expected this attack to come first. However, I didn't expect to be poked three times at the same time, so I couldn't set up a counter.

''Huh? Missed...did you think I was going to miss it?

Tsk.

　Hana-san didn't expect to be completely dodged by the first move, or perhaps she was distracted from the attack for a moment. But that in itself seemed to be a trap, and she tried to intercept me with a spear side-nose as I tried to close the distance to exploit the gap.
　I tried to stop the attack by raising my stick as quickly as possible to prevent a direct hit, but I was forcefully sent flying. Being Amour's mother, I had expected her to have quite a bit of muscle strength, but I hadn't expected her to go this far.

''Is it a little bad?''

You look like you have a lot of room for that, though, right?

　Hana-san replies to my lighthearted comments, but she also thrusts out while keeping her spear in time. Moreover, she changes her speed, so it's hard to find the right moment to dive in.
　Against such an onslaught of Hana-san's onslaught, I was gradually being made to drop back and began to fall behind.

'What's the matter! You're scared! You can't just admit it like that!

　At this time, it was Viscount Lobo who was most excited. He saw that I couldn't fight back, and he was fielding the fight as if he were the one fighting.

''Shut up!''
Ugh!

　Suddenly, a stone smashed into Viscount Robo's face, causing him to fall backwards and stop moving. Hana-san was the one who threw the stone, and apparently Hana-san also felt annoyed with Viscount Lobo. Moreover, as if to chase after the fallen Viscount, Amour brought out a rope from somewhere and tied him up. The first thing to do is to get rid of the problem, and then, after wrapping it up dozens of times to prevent it from unraveling, toss it far away as if it were trash.

''Oh? You could have pounced on me right now.

''I was kind of scared to take advantage of that opening, so I refrained from doing so. Well, partly because I was annoyed with the viscount, too.

　Amidst that commotion, I stopped moving as I was when the attack was interrupted and waited for the thing to end. Hana-san, perhaps amused by my actions and behavior, laughed and then took up her spear again.
　It's like a partitioning process without a plan, but even so, as long as you can't get into my pause, it will just be the same development as before.

(His strength is on par with Blanca, and his instantaneous force is greater than Blanca's. His nimbleness is equal to or greater than Amur's...............It's tricky)

　With that kind of analysis, I decided to take a gamble on one.
　So far, Hana-san's attacks were launching thrusts when she was far away, and sidenagi if she tried to get close. Of these, she dodged the thrusts, but she could only receive all of the Yokonagi attacks with a stick, and besides, she couldn't receive them completely and was sent flying.
　So, I decided to aim for a thrust that I could avoid, rather than Yokonagi, whose power is increased by centrifugal force. I narrowed down my aim, set the stick at the upper level and invited a thrust. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

''Seiyaaaaah!''

　My strike, which I swung down with a shout of spiritedness, successfully missed Hana-san's spear. Moreover, the stick that struck the ground with great force broke in two from around the middle.

''I'm sorry!''

　Hana-san, who seemed to know that her spear was being targeted, drew her spear as I attacked, and shortly after that she thrust again. However, I had assumed this situation as well (...).

''Huh! Shoo!

　I half dodged the thrust and threw the stick in my hand at Hana-san. The tip of the stick is sharp from being knocked off and cannot be prevented by the arm. Sure enough, Hana-san twisted wide and dodged the stick, showing her first real opportunity.

''Say!''

　So I stepped on Hana-san's spear and used the momentum to deliver a spinning kick. However, Hana-san let go of the spear as quickly as possible, and my kick only grazed Hana-san's cheek.

''Is this an even match in terms of spacing?''

　But so far, it was just as I expected. Well, I was hoping that the kick just now would decide it, but the wholesaler wasn't going to do so wholesale.

'You've read this far but hey, I like this pause too!　

　Hana-san had closed the distance between the two of them and set up a close battle. As she said she liked it herself, the cut and power of the attack was perfect, but the attack itself was not so difficult to deal with, as it was a common sight in recent times.

Amur.

　The answer is simple: it's very similar to Amur's attack. It was certainly better than Amur, but that in itself was to be expected, and he had won everything he had practiced with Amur in the first place. It was much easier to do than being fought with a spear.

''Then how about this?''

　Saying that, Hana-san grabbed my chest collar and the sleeve on the other side of it and tried to do a judo throwing technique, the inner thigh... but...

Huh?

　I stuck my arm out and pulled back the leg that was about to be jumped up, which caused it to fly in the air in reverse. It's what is called an inner thigh scooter.

''........I surrender.

　When she put her aligned fingers around Hana's neck as she was knocked to the ground, Hana immediately announced her surrender.

'There is a match! Winner, Temma!

　It was Blanca who declared my victory, but I could see in her expression that she was relieved that it was over without any particular incident.

''This is still enough,''

Yeah. They've shown their strength.

　Hana smiled meaningfully as she helped Hana to help her body up.

'Te~n~ma~'

　Seeing this, Amur rushed towards us, so I half dodged it so as not to interrupt the father-son reunion, and then lightly pushed Amur in Hana-san's direction and deflected him further.

'Oh my, a passionate embrace. But it hurts, Amur.

Give. Give. Give.

　Hana-san lightly took Amur, who was bumping into her with a lot of momentum, and tightened Amur up with a bearhug, as if to return the embrace. Unable to resist, Amour gave up, but Hana-san did not let go of Amour.

''Content........leaks.......''

　When Amur was released a few minutes later, he was lying on the ground mumbling something, but no one seemed to be able to hear him except me and Hana-san who were nearby.

'Then I'm next. I'll let you take Hana's enemies!

Come on, man, that's enough.

Let go of me, Blanca!

　Viscount Lobo came forward, but without a moment's hesitation, Blanca stopped him with a feather in his cap. I'm very grateful. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get away with it. The request itself ends when I hand over the letter, but I don't know what it says, and I want to stay quiet until I get a response at the very least.
　Despite my wishes, Amour and Hana-san began to get excited, whispering and talking about something. Somehow I had a bad feeling about this, so I turned away and was about to go back to the carriage, when I happened to see Blanca, who also happened to catch my eye, leaving Viscount Lobo with a similar look on her face, and started walking to the carriage.

''I've made up my mind! I will make Temma the son-in-law of Amur!
Mom, you look great!

""Phew!"　

　I was so surprised that a strange voice escaped my mouth. Most of all, I wasn't the only one who was surprised, Grandpa, Blanca and Viscount Lobo made strange sounds as well.

''They're both just the right age, and if they're this strong, they deserve Amur. Of course Amur is good, right?''
Sure thing.

　Blanca is blue in the face while the two men are getting excited, and Viscount Lobo is blushing. Grandpa is counting something while folding his fingers, and the soldiers surrounding him are engaged in some kind of betting game. In the midst of all that.

I'm getting more and more eager to fight, kid.

　Viscount Lobo came up behind me, placed his arm on my shoulder and smiled. But his face was bright red, his eyes were bloodshot and his mouth was smeared with blood. I couldn't help but say, "Red devil! I even almost ran into him.

'You, don't put such a scary face near Amur's son-in-law.

I don't recognize you!

　As soon as Viscount Lobo shouted, the hand placed on my shoulder strained and his fingers dug into my shoulder. It was too painful, and I was so angry at being caught up in all the trouble that I couldn't help but squeeze Viscount Lobo's hand as hard as I could. When he squeezed it, he dug his fingers into a pressure point near the base of his thumb called Goukoku, which caused Viscount Lobo to scream.

''Temma beat your father too... ha! We've eliminated the obstacles!
You did it. You took him down in that one second.

'No, I don't care about that. But sister-in-law (nee), Amour, I'm against grooming too.

Well said Blanca.　

　Blanca, who waited on the two of them, agreed with Viscount Lobo as he stood up. In the meantime, the composition of Amur & Hana-san vs. Blanca & Viscount Lobo was created, and sparks began to fly between the two camps. And while watching such a two-team, the soldiers who were surrounding them heated up.......mainly in the betting direction......

''Grandpa, tiger beastmen really do have a lot of blood in their veins.......''
I'm as surprised as you are.

　Amour and the others who started fighting two against two, and the soldiers of the tiger beast people who were making a lot of noise with them, my grandfather and I were pulling together beside them. The fight itself was quite intense, and since it was a battle between two people who knew all the tricks of the trade, it was worth watching, and even in the tournament of pairs that took place in the martial arts tournament in the royal capital, there wouldn't have been a match to this extent.
　When you look at it, Hana-san seems to be the strongest among those four, but the second and third are Blanca and Viscount Lobo, and the fourth is Amur, so at first glance they seem to be well balanced. However, compared to the other three, Amur's physical ability is not as good as the other three, but he is not as skilled and skilled in the game, so overall, the pair of Amur and Hana seems to be losing ground.

Dram!
Unu.

　In a split second, Blanca blew Amour wide open with a body blow, creating a situation of Hana-san vs. Blanca & Viscount Lobo for just a few seconds. In those seconds, the two of them surrounded Hana-san, and when Blanca got her attention, Viscount Lobo succeeded in stopping Hana-san's movement by feathering her from behind... From the side, it was a scene that smelled quite criminal.
　When Hana-san's movement was stopped, Blanca neutralized Amur who was coming towards her and the game was won. However, Hana-san fiercely resisted until the very end, so the damage to Viscount Lobo, who was closely held in the wings, was amazing. To put it plainly, both of his legs had been kicked and stomped on repeatedly, blood was flowing from his mouth and nose due to the head butt, and he had a blue tang in his eyes. I thought it was great guts that he didn't let Hana-san go in such a situation....he must really hate Amur's marriage.

''Blanca! I don't care who this guy is, why would you disagree with him!

I'm sure that when it comes to marriage, the will of the other person, Tenma, is also important. Besides, Temma has just been given the family name by the royal family. If you take him as your son-in-law, the royal family will not look good. Besides, the queen has a plan for Temma's marriage. So we should avoid the possibility of creating a rift between the south and the royal family by doing something poorly.

　After hearing Blanca's explanation, Viscount Lobo had a raggedy grin on his face. I got the feeling that he was a good fit for a gangster-like villain. Honestly, Hana-san would have been relieved that Amur was born with a face that looked like her, too.

'You got your family name from the royal family? Is Temma an aristocrat?

　I shook my head in denial at Hana-san's question.

''Temma himself didn't become a nobleman because he didn't want a knighthood, but there was even a rumor in the royal capital that if he wanted to, he would be a solid count. Of course, the royal family also intends to do so. Incidentally, Temma's parents are close friends of the King and Queen, and Temma's grandfather there is the famous Merlin-dono as a wise man. It is said that Temma himself, in addition to winning double individual and team competitions in martial arts competitions, defeating the earth dragons that appeared near the royal capital, and stopping a coup d'état, in the past he saved the king's life and almost single-handedly defeated an ancient dragon that had turned into a zombie. Naturally, it's more of a wonder that he hasn't become a nobleman. To be honest, he's probably more important to the royal family than his brother.

　I didn't hear the Count or anything about it directly, but those people would be ready for it in a heartbeat if I wanted to. I understand myself that I've made that much of an achievement. I'm sure you've been thinking about it for a while now, as if you've decided that what Blanca said is true when you see that I'm not denying it.

'Then there's no problem if you're giving him to your wife instead of your son-in-law? And it doesn't matter how many wives you have if you're close to a nobleman.

　He said something like that. Blanca also said something like, ''I'm sure that's fine just in time, but...'' and so on, which caused Amur to rejoice and Viscount Lobo to have a look of despair on his face.

''Then fine. If you and Amour have a child, there won't be any problems.

　As the conversation proceeded on its own, ignoring me, Viscount Lobo's face became even more incredible in appearance. It seems that he still has enough reason left to not act immediately after being told that he has connections with the royal family, but it seems to be a matter of time before he does.

''Anyway, let's go back to the house............I had to go to the village down the road.

You mean, the goblins? Then we won't have a problem. While we stopped by, we took them down ourselves. It's a good idea to send some people out to check on them just to see how they're doing, but we took out the boss and his entourage, and I don't think more than 10 percent of them escaped. Even if there were some left, it should be as far as the village guys can manage.

'Well, then let's send half the squad over to check out the area around the village and clean up the mess. I'm sure it's okay if Blanca says it's okay, but it's better to be safe than sorry. The rest of us will turn back here.

　When Hana-san heard Blanca's story, she immediately split the squad in two and sent one of them to the village. The other one was going to return with us, but before that, she wanted to check on the king and the top species, so she took it out of her magic bag and put it in front of Hana-san and the others.

''It's really amazing that you were able to win out against so many higher species.

Huh! This would be a piece of cake for me. It's nothing to be dignified about.

　As Hana-san was complimenting me on my war performance, Viscount Lobo tensed up, but Hana-san glared at me and I became quiet.

''Are you serious? Surely you can beat them, but can you beat them this cleanly?

'Well, I don't think so. My brother is just like me and Amur, he's rather good at fighting by force. If we were to take on one or more of them at the same time, let alone one on one, the materials of the higher species would be in tatters.

　Hana-san and Blanca told me that Viscount Lobo was glaring at me in silence. The reason why he's glaring at me so much is because Amur has been at my side since a while ago. Whenever he's glaring at me, it's usually when Amour is taking his gaze off of RoboCubus, and as soon as their eyes are about to meet, he looks away.

'Viscount Lobo,'

Oh, oh. What is it?

　As if he didn't expect me to speak to him, Viscount Lobo stammered slightly as he replied. I took out the letter that Maria-sama had entrusted to me and

"This is a letter from the royal family, sir.

Well, thank you. You'll have to wait while I write a letter to certify the accomplishment of your request.

　Viscount Lobo said that and had his subordinate nearby bring paper and pen and was trying to write something on the spot...

Wait.

　Hannah took the paper from the side and crumpled it up in a crumpled grip.

'Aside from receiving the letter, it's not right for you to write the certificate here. We have to confirm the contents, and in some cases, we have to write a reply. In that case, it would be more convenient in many ways to ask someone to return in the same direction as King's Landing.''

　With those words, me and Viscount Lobo's plan was foiled. The plan was that Viscount Lobo would separate me and Amur and I would be free to go around the Southern Autonomous Region. Well, I just thought it would be easier for me, so I honestly didn't care if I succeeded or not, but unlike me, Viscount Lobo seemed to be quite serious about it. That's why he was blatantly depressed.

''Anyway, you're going to have to accompany me to our house.

　Saying that, Hana-san somehow got into our carriage. By the way, since Viscount Lobo has soldiers, he was going to ride a horse separately from Hana-san.
