『Continuing on, we will commence the next match for the semi-finals!! We present to you the participant that finishes his battles with a single strike, Participant Genkaku. And though her appearance yesterday’s battle was a little scary, we present to you Participant Aidle!!! 』

「It is an honor to be able to fight someone of your caliber in this place, Aidle-dono」

「Un, I was also a little troubled by yesterday’s fight, but It’s a good thing that I am now matched against you. Oh and by the way, if I win this match, is it alright is if I ask you about something… Well, you can tell me if I win.」

「It’s fine, I’d also like to ask for something so it’s good」

『This time’s battle is also impossible to predict!! Will Participant Gekaku’s 1 hit strike finish Aidle, or will it be Aidle’s overwhelming power crush participant Genkaku!! Begin the Match!!』

「As expected, that won’t work huh. Well I already that 『Iai』 was not originally used for something like this.」

「Nu!!…」

Because I felt that something is wrong with my stance, I stopped trying to do the Iai stance. I’m sorry about this, you won’t be able to enjoy the game like this because I have circumstances needed to be solved. Therefore,

『Aidle-chan approaches normally!! Aren’t you afraid of entering Participant Genkaku attack range!?』

I concentrated a high amount of magic power into my sword and walk close. Fairy magic strengthens my dynamic vision to the limit. Then I stop one step before his attack range. That is 3 meters away from where he stood.

A stood on the spot for a bit… Then proceed stepping inside his attack range…

「——-!!!」

Gakkin!!…

「……ah, ahah……That is quite unexpected, Aidle-dono. 」

The clash was so fast that even Genkaku wasn’t able to completely perceive after swinging with all his strength. The tip of Genkaku’s sword was cut and was found on the stage behind me, and then no other attacks followed after that single strike.

「Your attack was certainly fast, so I had to put all my effort into stopping your blade」

「Is that so… It’s my defeat then」

Putting back his broken sword int it scabbard, he bow to me. Intense applause then came from the audience seat.

『A battle of a single blow!! It was so fast that it only lasted for a moment!! Still, our lovely girl Aidle was the one who came out victorious!! Congratulations on entering the finals!!』

I took the tip of his sword and handed it back to him, then asked about what I would like him to tell me before we start the match after we returned to the waiting area.

「So, what do wish to ask out of me?」

「It’s nothing serious, I just want to ask directions as to how I would be able to go to your home country, I’m interested in visiting it in the future」

「Oh, ok, then let me write you a guide」

Genkaku wrote the directions to reach Wado with the paper and pen that I’ve prepared. After writing, he said that he will be going back to his home country after this, so at the time we visit, we should look for him at the place he instructed.

「Wait…」「Hmm…?」

「Just a bit, Genkaku-san also wanted to ask about something right? 」

「Muu… But I have lost qualifications of doing so」

「It’s fine to ask, I will answer if it’s not something too troublesome」

Genkaku-san was reluctant at first but I was able to convince him and he lowered his head in thanks.

「……I’m only going to ask if you’ve heard about it but, do you know of a demon called Yamata no Orochi? I am on a journey in search for it you see」

That naming sure seems like a monster that came out of Japanese mythology. Is it also something that exist in this world? Is it real? Well, sorry, I also don’t know.

「Nope, haven’t heard of it…」

「Oh, is that so… Well, I guess that’s just how it is…」

This time Genkaku went away……

In that evening when I was resting at the Inn.

「Ah」

I noticed that 『Super Synchronization』 was activated and expired. Hmmm…… I see.

「……The end result was good…」

And then, I finally felt relief on my chest. I dove into my bed while cluttering my feet.

That night, I heard the two people calling from out the door 「We’re Home」.
