Chapter 452 – Chapter 452 – Gale and Bad Flame

◈

10 minutes after the match starts.

Kang! Kakakakakang!

Noah was a warrior who fully met my expectations.

Good! Good! Good!

Unstoppable movement to aim for agility and weakness!

It tastes like it should!

Starting with one dagger, Noah is now pulling out two.

In line with that, I, who was only swinging my fists at first, is using my legs to play against Noah.

Noah’s dagger collided with my gauntlets and sparks flew.

“It’s pretty, Noah! It’s so exciting!”

“Really? Raifa is much stronger than I thought… Yes!”

At that moment, black smoke billowed from Noah’s legs and his speed his increased rapidly.

What a skill!

However… That much can be dealt with!

In an instant, I blocked Noah’s dagger with my gauntlets in line with Noah’s movement to turn around and attack me.

Kaaaaang!

“Wow, this is blocked too.”

“And you too…!”

Whoops!

Noah dodges the fist he swung with sincerity at a narrow interval.

So far, the number of times Noah has been hit by my fist or foot is zero.

“You’re good at dodging my attacks!”

“Because I already know the faster and more terrifying attack!”

In an instant, Noah’s eyes sharpened.

I’m going to hit this!

Kaka Kaka Kakang!

As expected, Noah swung the daggers in both hands in all directions and slashed at various parts of my body.

It was a bit risky just now. However…

“It’s a gap!”

Due to the fierce combo, Noah opened a gap, and I took advantage of that gap to max out my magic circulation and speed up at once.

Whoops!

“Ugyaaaaagh!”

He thrust his fist into Noah’s torso.

No, I blocked it with both arms at the moment.

Do you really have good agility?

Noah, who was hit by my fist, flew backwards and immediately rose from his seat, rolling over.

“Ahh… My arm hurts…”

Noah wiggled my fists through his arms and frowned.

Haha! To be hit by my fist and end like that is surprisingly strong, Noah!”

“Well, I’ve been promoted many times. Wow, but it’s really strong.”

“You’re strong too, Noah.”

“Thank you.”

“Then shall we continue?”

“Umm~ No, I want to stop.”

He stances again, but Noah shakes his head.

“What is it, fresh?”

“Before I met Raifa, I did a lot with Niña, so honestly, I don’t have the stamina. And I’m curious about how Graycia and Niña fight.”

“Sheesh, then we’re going to compete again next time?”

“I’m welcome.”

The confrontation between Noah and I came to an abrupt end.

Ahh, that’s not enough

I’ll have to sparr with Graycia later.

“Hey, Gracia! It’s your turn!”

◈-Gracia SIDE

Noah had a better sparring match against Raifa than I expected.

Of course, if we were more sincere with each other, we would both have been hurt.

However, no one was injured because both sides knew that this was a match to check their skills.

“You said that Noah is 20 years old right? To be able to play against Raifa like that at that age… That’s amazing.”

“Fufu, because Noah is a hard worker ♪ Besides, he has a strong desire to improve, so if you teach him, he absorbs it and teaches it.”

“Did Niña teach Noah?”

“Yes, first of all, Noah and I have a relationship similar to that of a disciple and a teacher.”

“Are you not learning from the strongest Dungeon Crasher?”

“Umm~ Rant was originally a very strong type~ I’m not used to teaching him.

Niña-san is a Dungeon Crasher… When talking about a man named Rant, he has a very affectionate look in his eyes.

It’s like when mother talks to father… It is a feeling of deep love.

“…You really love him.”

“Oh my, I’m an elf, so I’m sensitive to things like this? Yes, I love Rant the most in the world♡”

“By the way, love… Don’t fights happen?”

“Hehe, I know you’re worried, but we’re all good, so there’s no such worry. Besides, Rant loves us all, so there’s nothing to be lonely about.”

“Is that… Is it?”

“Yes.”

It’s a story I honestly don’t understand.

Like Raifa, I don’t necessarily have to be one-on-one, but… It was strange that quarrels did not occur at least at the stage of having relationships with several women.

While thinking about that, Noah and Raifa’s sparring ended.

“Hey, Gracia! It’s your turn!”

“It’s our turn. Thank you.”

“Yes, please take good care of me.”

Nina and I faced each other in the center of the training ground where Raifa and Noah stood.

I draw my sword from my waistband and Niña-san picks up his spear and takes a stand.

“Hey, can I ask you something before sparring?”

“What is it?”

“You too… Are you the type who likes men’s gazes?”

“… ? I don’t know what you mean.”

“Oh, is it natural? Then… Why did you dress like that? Even as a woman, I think it’s pretty bold♪”

Oh, that was a question.

“… This is an outfit optimized for the magic arena. There is no particular intention to attract men’s attention.”

“Hmm. Yeah. Her breasts are as big as mine… And the exposure is similar, so I thought we’d have the same hobby. It’s a pity ~.”

“… Ninya-san, do you like the male gaze?”

“Hehe, I’m half of an elf and a succubus~ I really liked that look?”

“Harp…”

I thought it was an elf, but I can’t believe it’s a half with a succubus.

I deliberately ignored it because it was rude to talk about my taste in clothes, but Niña-san is quite… She is wearing a provocative outfit.

I don’t think it’s to attract men’s attention…

As an unmanned person, such a point of view could not be seen in a good way.

But I don’t say it on purpose.

After all, it’s a matter of personal interest.

So let’s focus on this sparring for now.

I catch my breath and concentrate my mind on fighting against Niña-san.

“…”

Niña-san also noticed my intentions, and the mischievous atmosphere instantly changed to that of a warrior.

A quick turn of momentum.

That alone was proof that Niña-san in front of her was a very talented person.

Ah, how much skill she has… I was very much looking forward to it.

“Huh!”

And the sparring began as I ran toward Mr. Niña first.

◈

The sparring with Niña continued for 20 minutes.

His flamboyant spearwork His deflected my sword several times.

The fierce kicks that came in between made me break out in a cold sweat.

Simple sparring without being sincere with each other.

But that’s just that it doesn’t use the realm of skill.

In the realm of sparring with pure bodies, Niña-san and I are also serious opponents.

Niña-san shows skill enough to put paint while inducing my attack.

Of course, with my experience and the skills I learned from my father, I shattered all those intentions.

However, a decision with Niña-san did not seldom come out.

Even if Niña-san broke all of her paint her and launched an onslaught from this side, Niña-san, as if that was her specialty her, didn’t lose at all, even in a sword-and-spear battle at a close distance… On the contrary, he pushed harder as if he could do it at a shorter interval.

I’m also used to super-close combat from sparring with Raifa, so I was able to deal with Nina-san’s counterattack.

As such a situation continued, the match was hardly tried to win.

“Haaaaap!”

“Haaaaagh!”

Finally.

“Oh, it’s a draw.”

A situation was created where Niña-san and I stopped at the interval as we aimed spears and swords at each other’s necks.

After taking the sword and storing it in the scabbard, I spoke to Niña-san in a refreshing mood.

“It was a good sparring.”

To be honest, it was the most fulfilling of all the sparring I had been doing this month.

Niña-san also smiled at me as she retracted her spear.

“Hehe, it seems like that isn’t enough for that kind of thing?

“… You know.”

“I know a very~ strong sister who can use such a method♪”

“That’s right, Niña-san didn’t use magical powers to strengthen her body her.”

“If we use each other… Isn’t it a bit dangerous?”

“I agree.”

Neither I nor Nina are immature people who still have a place to grow.

I don’t know if it’s pure physical sparring, but if you use magic power at once… Dalyeon was fun and exciting, so there was a high possibility that I couldn’t control it well.

If the opponent is overwhelmingly strong… No matter how much power you exert, if you are not at the level of easily subduing it, you may be seriously injured.

“Hey, Gracia. I’m envious of you. Enjoying it like that!”

Raifa and Noah walked toward me and Mr. Niña.

“I’m still lacking a lot! It’s sparring with me later!”

“Haa… You sparred as soon as you came to Fuldan. Take a break.”

“So you said you’d do it later.”

“Ahaha, I’m sorry, Raifa. For lacking.”

“Huh? No, I have nothing to apologize for, Noah!

“… Hmm, he’s a person who likes Dalian more than Niña.

“This is Fledan, the city of adventurers, isn’t it? If you try to match a guy who looks pretty good for about a week, you’ll get it!”

“Is it okay to decide on a groom like that?”

“Of course, I’ll look at the personality. It’s not everything if you count it. If you have good skills and a good personality, I’ll be able to take care of the rest.”

“Oh, you’re surprisingly obedient?”

“Because my mother taught me to obediently obey the strong West.”

“This is a Bredan culture…”

After listening to the conversation between Raifa and Noah, Niña smiled and asked me.

“Does Graycia have the same thoughts as Raifa?”

“It seems like I’m looking for someone to be my West Side. And… I was born and raised in Breedan, so I’d prefer a strong person to be my West Side.”

“Hmm~.”

Something… Niña-sama’s eyes her as she looked at me seemed to appraise things.

It was then.

“Nina, Noah.”

A man’s voice called Niña and Noah came from outside the training ground.

Looking in the direction of the voice, there was a muscular man with green hair and blue eyes, of a stout size and height.

When Noah saw the man, he smiled brightly.

“Ah, Rant!”

Rant…

Then that man is a dungeon crasher… ?

I’ve heard of an adventurer called Kizal, but he has a gentle face compared to his size… He was a man with an aura.

A man with such an impression… The strongest S-rank adventurer of this fleet.

“Ohhh… That guy…”

Raifa had already begun to wear a warlike smile.

Mr. Niña approached Dungeon Crasher with Noah and asked.

“Oh, wasn’t the adventurer’s guild not coming today?”

“That’s… I was at the store with Miranda-san, but Rigg-san came and said that Noah and Niña were sparring with an adventurer they hadn’t seen before at the training ground. I came here as an alter ego because I was curious.”

“Is that so? But the sparring is already over.”

“Okay?”

“Yes! Ah, Rant, come here! Those two over there!”

Noah took the man’s hand and came towards us.

“Rant! This is Raifa and Gracia! They said they came from Breedan to meet Rant!”

“At Bridan?”

“I’m Raifa Tizan! You’re the famous Dungeon Crasher! You’re a good size… But something is gentler than I thought?”

“My name is Gracia Locke.”

“Ah… Hello. My name is Rant.”

Dungeon Crasher politely bowing his head… No, Rant.

Although he had the title of the strongest, there was nothing like arrogance in his attitude.

“They said they came to see Rant and to Fledan to find a groom!”

“To find a groom?”

At the sudden explanation, Lant tilted his head, as if he did not understand the situation.

“Hey hey, let’s put off that explanation until later! Hey, Dungeon Crasher!”

“Oh, my nickname is Gee, so you can call me Rant.”

“Then Rant! Let’s fight against me! Show me how strong you are!”

“Raifa, no matter how much the culprit appears, it’s too hasty.”

“But unlike you, I’m lacking! Rant appeared like this after a long time! If it’s not an opportunity like this, when will we fight…”

Growl

At that time, Raifa’s ship signaled that it was very hungry.

Engulfed in momentary stillness.

Raifa caressed her stomach and tilted her head.

“… Was fighting Noah more fulfilling than I thought?”

“Hee hee, Raifa wasn’t in a good mood, but he must have thought the ship had moved enough.”

Raifa… It’s just embarrassing as a friend.

“Hey… If it’s Dalian, I’ll do as much as I can. How about having a meal before that?”

“Oh? Really? There’s no softening? Hey, Gracia, let’s eat!”

Saying that, Raifa first walked into the adventurer’s guild.

You’re too free-spirited, Raifa.

“Haa… I’m sorry.”

I sighed and apologized to Rant.

Haha, no. It’s natural to be hungry when you move.”

Rant responds with a friendly smile.

As the adventurer named Kizal said, he was thought to have a good heart.
