The weather was clear and sunny.
　Last night's rain was a breeze, and on the day of the Tenmoza battle, it was a nice, clear day.

　And if that happens, I feel a little sorry for this guy.

"............

　Facing me is Eve, a maid dressed in all black, facing me.

　She has weak skin. So much so that if she is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, she will burn. 'It's called "albino, Raz taught me that.

　Hence, she is dressed in a rather uncomfortable manner, hiding her entire body of skin like this.

　His fingertips were hidden by leather gloves, a wide-brimmed hat blocked the sunlight on his head, and he wore large sunglasses for his eyes.

　He is dressed more like a dubious sorcerer than a yarn manipulator, ...... but it's also true that he has no choice but to do this.


'Is it hot?'
I... .........

　Yes, but don't worry, master, it will only be for a little while.

　You don't want me to worry about anything else so that I can fight to my heart's content, right? Brilliant.

"All right, I'll see to it. "Very well. Let's make it a match to remember.
.......

　Eve nodded dully. Her hat and sunglasses obscured her expression at all, but her white-skinned cheeks seemed to be lightly reddened.

　She stroked her pure white silky frowns that fluttered in the breeze and covered her face with the brim of her hat as if she were embarrassed.


'Bow to each other!　Ready!

　He takes out a thread from his inventory as ordered by the judge.

　There are various types of threads that serve as weapons in [Yarn Manipulation]. There are various types depending on the purpose, such as the wire for firepower, the spider silk for reach, and the dragon beard for both firepower and reach. They all have their advantages and disadvantages.

　This time, Eve seems to be using the spider silk. It's low in firepower, but it's flexible and easy to handle, and its wide attack range makes it suitable for beginners.

　In contrast, I'm going with a fluorocarbon 16lb (lbs). What's this, it's just a fishing line (・・・・・・).


What ......?

　See, a puzzled voice came out of Eve's mouth.

　Of course it was. This is basically a fishing line. Not many people use it as a [thread manipulation] weapon.

　But for me, it has to be this. It has to be relatively heavy, thin, transparent, low stretch, and strong, this fluorocarbon, and it has to be 16lb to be able to manipulate it (・・・・・) the way I want it to be manipulated.

　After thinking about the exquisitely different feeling of operation and trying to thread the tip of this line through a hole in a hook ten meters away, I finally arrived at this.

　The fishing line in [line manipulation]. In other words, it's a weapon that can be used in games. Some players laughed at it as a story weapon and even made fun of it.

　...... Until I started using it in the Battle of Amanoza.


''--start!''


　Tell me something.

　The most important thing in a Ten Amiza fight is not firepower, reach, or flexibility.

　The most important thing in a Tenmoza fight is not firepower, nor reach, nor flexibility - it's accuracy.

"...

　Sprinting at the same time as the command, Eve, who was closing the distance at once, reacted on the way.

　The sunglasses make it hard to see, but perhaps she has now opened her eyes.

　The fact that she is surprised here means that she has a firm grasp on the "spacing" of her strings. It's amazing.

　If she took one more step, she would be in the pause. And yet, I don't take any action. I didn't even try to prepare my skills. Hence, she was probably surprised.

　However, if you think about it, it's simple. If I, with my short reach, were to take action here, of course I would lose. Because I can't reach them yet. In that case, the best thing to do is to stand on a stick instead of making useless moves. It's a decision that was made from the beginning.


...... .......

　I'm going, Eve politely declared and took a step forward.

　Okay, then I have to go too.

　As soon as I'm in her pause, I take another step and close it in for a meter and a half. This is my pause.


''--!

　Eve's 《Infantry Thread Manipulation》 snatched my right cheek.


''


　It was twice as fast as it was supposed to be. No kidding.

　I can't complain about the trajectory either. Probably crawled through the ground. It's the hardest route to see.


　...... do it!


!

　Payback. I'll treat you to the exact same thing, but with even greater precision.

　Yves desperately pulled back his left leg and changed his stance, almost flicking my "infantry thread manipulation". It's not a bad decision to use the second "infantry thread manipulation" that was being prepared for the chase.


　The 【Nint Manipulation】 is basically the division of labor between the right and left hands to manipulate the thread. In that case, rather than connecting from the right hand to the right hand, connecting from the right hand to the left hand, he could unleash the second attack many times more quickly.

　In other words.

'Yo.'
!
"Yo-ho!
'　Ugh!
Hey, hey.
'　Huh!

　Itchy itchy, not itchy-itchy, but itchy-itchy repeated.

　To the first two shots, the rear hand responds with two shots together.

　Two shots, one beat. Two blows, one beat.


　This repetition was repeated until they were within the "golden general's range" of four meters, that is, until they came within the "golden general's range".

　The [thread manipulation], which uses a thin and hard-to-see weapon like thread, is often thought to be unsophisticated by those who don't know it, but no way!　That's definitely not true.


　This is a martial art. This is a meatball fight. The two fists of the infantry yarn manipulation are fiercely fighting each other like a fight scene in a kung fu movie, inching closer and closer to four meters, and then using the Golden General yarn manipulation skill to restrain targets within a four meter radius from there.


　That's why it was so intense.

　Using his entire body fully, they clashed with each other, going back and forth, and carefully calculating their timing, they came close to each other to four meters without any gap. It's a match that's well worth watching.


Oh ......! And I could hear sighs of admiration from the audience.

　I was annoyed. Simple.

　Nah, "Oh ......! Bye!　Lick the string manipulation.

　Yves would think so, too.

............?

　Looks like it.


Let's go.

　It enters the range of the golden general.

　The tactics of this moment, no matter how many times you do it, are unbearable.
　A large amount of information explodes in an instant, and it is a sensation that your head is boiling.

　If you prepared the Kim Jong-jo without thinking right after you entered the zone, you would be crushed by the infantry and it would be the end. In other words, you need to create time to prepare the Golden General.

　There are several steps to take, but the better way is this.


''!

　Connect from the Incense Car Thread Manipulation to the Gui Ma Thread Manipulation.

　In order to receive the incense car's piercing attack, it must be piercing as well. In other words, Eve has no choice but to get hit by an incense car.

　The hardening time after the kasha is slightly longer than that of the infantry, so you can use that time to make your next Gui Ma.

　The torch is taken out of the inventory and used as a torch for the next katsura horse.

　The torch was taken out of his inventory. The torch was taken out of the inventory and used as an incense car to buy time for the game.

　In the title fight, there is basically no limit to the weapons you can use. Just like it didn't matter if you had a sword in the Reiou fight, it didn't matter what weapon you used as long as you didn't use your skills.

　And this torch is the revolution (...) in the Battle of the Heavenly Web. This is the strategy for the combo within the Golden General's zone discovered by the world's highest ranking fifth-ranked "Arrogant Lord" (Aojia Ogonjyu).

　Except for the wire and the dragon beard, all the other threads were licked bitterly because of this torch.

　Because it can be cut (...). No questions asked. A weapon that is weak against the fire attribute from the beginning. However, since [Magic] couldn't be used during the Tenmiza battle, there should have been no threat until the appearance of ...... torches.

　As a result, everyone began to keep torches in their inventory, and the Tenamiza War became all about wires or dragon beards.

　After that, the Ten Amiza fighters were brought back to diversity by some idiots who started doing all sorts of things with fishing lines, but for a while it was really a fad that reminded me of the Black Fal boom of the Ikusen Zassen fights, and it was really troubling.


　I don't like that kind of craze. They make me feel less excited. Hence.

　In this world, you want to get it done early. That's what I thought.

　I want you to know about this whole torch thing, and learn how to get past it.

　You know, Eve. You've got a tremendous sense for battle, maybe you can come up with something.


Ah!

　The fire of the torch I wielded caused the corresponding "Silver General thread manipulation" to be cut off by the fire of the torch, and Eve let out a small voice.


　...... Sense to prepare the Silver General here, it's still good.

　The Silver General is a powerful single attack. A reason to prepare against Katsurama. Perhaps Yves expected me to manipulate weapons such as stones and swords with Gui Ma to hit him. The silver general to play it hard and cut the gui-ma's threads. If the Gui Ma's thread was cut, a long stiffness would hit the user. In other words, if I hadn't put out the torch, it must have been played by the silver general, hardening, and then fallen prey to the gold general.


　Well, thanks to the torch, that's not going to happen.

'...... ugh ......!

　While Eve was suffering from post-Silver General rigidity, I finished preparing the Golden General Thread Manipulation technique.

　I immediately activated it. Eve was helplessly wrapped in the fishing line.

　Without a moment's pause, I began preparing the 《Long King String Manipulation》. This is the biggest attack of [Thread Manipulation] targeting a restrained opponent.

　It's not a lukewarm restraint that can be wriggled away. Both of Eve's arms are especially carefully restrained, so she can't even use the thread.


　...... It's a game set. There's no way to escape it.

　I was stunned. Maybe it was too much to put out the torch, after all.

　Yes, we'll see how they come up with a countermeasure for the torch next--.






"--



　Amazing. You're kidding me.

　Why are you invoking the Incense Chariot Spell Manipulation?　You're not supposed to be able to use both hands.




!


　Yuck!　So that's what it's all about: ......!





Gosh!


　Immediately after, something shiny and white pierced my eyes.




　...... I was hit. It was a hair...



　He was going to ・・・・・ from the start!　So the hat was to cover up the hair that had grown out: ......!


　Great. That's awesome, Eve. This particular way of attacking, even in Mevion, hadn't been discovered. Hair?　What kind of life would give you that idea?　How long does your hair have to be to be judged as a weapon?　How much firepower?　Reach?　How does it feel?　Interesting, interesting, interesting .......



"It's too funny.

...... .......


　The words just came out of my mouth. I could see that Eve gasped.


　Hey, don't be scared. You have the overwhelming advantage. I'm blind (・・・・・・) right now, okay?


　...... From the feeling in your hand, you cut my eyes out, then cut my strings again with the Incense Carpentering Technique to get out of your restraints, right?　The second shot was late. In other words, apparently the hair doesn't go one shot at a time, alternating like both hands. Did he deliberately delay it?　No, if that's the case, the chase is already coming. It won't. Which means we won't have two seconds.


"We'll have roughly four seconds before we take the strings off your arms.
!

　I'm glad I wrapped it up carefully, just in case I got out of the restraints. I do this all the time. Every once in a while there are guys like Eve who get out of it in surprising ways. It's not much trouble, so there's no harm in doing it.

　Now, I've finished preparing for the Gui Ma Yarn Manipulation while I'm talking.

　It's probably time for Eve to go do a Gold General or something with her hair.


　If it's ...... a gold general, it's unresisting as it is. If it's more than a corner line, I'll go ahead with a laurel horse. Otherwise, ......


............

　He's not coming. The General was out of prep time. In other words, more than an angular line. Or, you could be waiting for the Silver General or below without invoking the Silver General.


　If you're below the Silver General, you'd want to get hit first and then counter-attack with the Golden General's Manipulation Technique. If you play at or above the Kakugou, you would like to destroy them first.

　On the other hand, if you attack the Ginshogun first with the Gui Ma, the string will be cut and you will be forced to play a long rigidity. It is suicide to get hit by a single blow against a corner gyo or above.

　Win or lose, Nibuichi. It's a gamble, isn't it?




　............ That's why I prepared the "Gui Ma Yin Manipulation".



"Huh--?


　Lies, Eve says.

　Well, it sounds like a lie, but this is what happens. I was just about to untie you (・・・・・・).


　I manipulated the threads still tangled in both of your arms with a laurel horse to re-bind them. That's all there was to it.


　Then you tighten the restraints even tighter as you tighten the thread to the front (...) as much as you can.

　The strength of the 16lb of fluorocarbon is nothing to write home about. It's all connected. The golden general's thread, which had been restraining Eve's entire body until just a few seconds ago, is all connected.

　In an instant, like a snake tightening its prey, the threads crawled up Eve's entire body and bound her all over the place. Naturally, her neck, her head, her eyes, and even her hair. 'I won't let my guard down again,' she remarks.


'.......'

　Boom!　And then Eve's hair broke the thread of my laurels. Apparently, the hair doesn't have much reach. And 《Silver General Thread Manipulation》...... I see, so Eve has been waiting all along in a state of readiness. She's a wonderful schemer.


　Oh. This is what's called a last request (・・・・・・). Eve puts me to one last test: "Please make a mistake," she says.

　Considering that I have zero visibility, I can say that it's an understandable footnote.

　Good. I'll stay with you until the end.


It's a flying car.
!

　No matter what you came for, it was a no-brainer. That's what I decided.

　You were the one who made the mistake in the end, Eve. You may think you've just cut the strings of your guinea horse ...... but that's not true. You've taken the invitation. What you cut was the golden general's thread that I was controlling. In other words, I cut the leader, not the main thread. Because as soon as the restraint started, I pulled the thread as close to the front as I could. I wanted to make sure that the thread of the gold general who was controlling him looked like the thread of Gui Ma.

　Hence, it doesn't stiffen up. I can immediately cancel the Gui Ma and move on to prepare for my next skill, the Flying Wheel Thread Manipulation.

　The flying wheel is an extremely powerful single attack. Unfortunately, with the status difference between me and Eve, it's almost a blow.

　Oh, that wonderful 16lb fluorocarbon, which can move like a body part without being able to see. It's like antennae.



".........
Thank you, too. It's been fun.

　Really, I was entertained.


　Yves, I don't have to tell you, do I?　It's only in the beginning and middle of the game that your eyes are overworked. At the end of the game, you don't need to do much. Hence, it's a good idea to aim for the eye candy early.

　I'm hoping that the next one will be more interesting.



　Ah ...... eye pain.


"--That's it!　Winner, second first test!
