"... can you even do that?"

That's what Diego, who was speared, said in a bitter, but also inspiring voice.

The Capitan answers without alarm.

"Get used to it. But now the thrust was quite considerable. As far as I'm concerned, I didn't mean to play it in Chi."

"Really? Seemed like I could afford a lot..."

"No, I don't. You were rather alarmed. I wasn't fighting much of a toothpicker here, so I was all blunt. From here on out, I'm serious."

"You said you didn't mean it yet?

"Bye. In teaching Chi, Diego, your primary purpose is to see your strength. It doesn't make sense to knock him out all of a sudden, does it?

"This is something licked......! This one, we're serious!

"Oh, come on!

The two, who gradually increased their fighting spirit as they conversed, finally stepped through that conversation on the ground.

It seemed almost at the same time...... no, the Capitans are still faster.

Before Diego's spear, the Kapitan swordfish narrowed the distance faster.

The battle will be decided by that blow in the cohort of warriors, but Diego also just said here, tilting his neck just before it arrived and avoiding it.

It would be difficult to avoid that if you were a human race.

Beastman, I guess that also allows the suppleness of a body characteristic of the cat system to move like that.

I can do something similar, but in that case, I'm sorry to compare it with removing the whole joint or something because it's about outside the behavior of the creature.

I know it's not a good idea to get too used to that kind of way because I'm going back to being human sooner or later, but don't use it when it's convenient...

While he thinks, for example, Capitan goes further.

I guess the avoidance was also anticipated by the Capitans.

Or have you assembled an attacker from the beginning so that you can fall either way?

Well, probably the latter.

Capitans are usually a big mess, but they are very logical brain-holders in battles and hunting, and they don't do much uncertainty.

That shows up well in the way we fight.

Diego, by contrast, would rather have a strong part of following his instincts.

It just doesn't seem like that's the downside.

At a time when you wouldn't be clearly aware of a Capitan attack, there is a verse that is grasping and moving with something like a wild prospect.

It was like a dodging move now...... but a move that said so is something that Capitans usually relate to as prey...... quite similar to demons and animals.

I'm also getting a good handle on my body.

This is true of humans, but even if they are conscious, no, there is an attack that is hard to avoid because they are conscious, and Capitan is also an expert in such things.

At the next moment, what Capitan did was astonishing.

He threw his own sword at Diego's feet trying to pull back the spear without hesitation.

Diego, who never expected his opponent to do that, breaks the balance at his feet dramatically.

Capitan did not miss the moment the spear tilted slightly upwards and the grip of his hand became loose.

Kick Diego's arm up and let him remove the spear, he grabs his arm as it is and knocks it down.

And he decided to have an arm wrinkle.

Diego is a veterinarian of the feline lineage, and because of his considerable flexibility, it couldn't be so easy to determine joint moves or anything like that, and at first, he didn't look in a hurry.

However, he gives a surprise look at the moment he moves to escape the Capitan.

Probably, but it won't come off.

I can't get the joint moves off that I should be able to remove for sure if I'm normal.

I had a little panic about it,

"Hey, why..."

And groan.

Capitan laughed at this,

"Do you admit to losing?

asked.

Diego thought a little, then understood that scratching his feet with all his might was not going to come off,

"... admit it or nothing, you'll lose as a fact. Damn."

That's what I said.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... Capitan, Diego!

Me and Perusa approach as we speak from a short distance.

The two seemed to notice as they stood up,

"Lent... what, are you done buying out?

That's what Capitan asks.

My gaze is just more toward Perusa than it is toward me.

I know what you're trying to say.

What 'd you pick up?

Nothing else.

He's one of the people who knows best about my personality, so I guess the situation alone makes me guess a lot.

"Oh, well... the buyout itself is over. This is Perusa. There's a lot going on..."

"A lot, huh? Looks like a fisherman to me..."

That's what I said, a jaw-disrupting Capitan.

That's what Perusa names him.

"Oh, I'm a fisherman. I am Perusa, the son of the old sea."

"Well, I'm a Capitan."

Regardless of the circumstances, all I said was that it was polite to call them names back, and I offered them my hand, and the two shook hands.

But Diego, hearing Perusa's name, had his eyes open as surprised.

I'm curious, I ask.

"... Diego? What's wrong with you?

Diego then said,

"... Lent. You, you know who that girl is?

"It's a fishmonger's daughter, isn't it?

That's all I see.

I can't say anything else.

Anything else... like a sleigh killer?

But that's not what Diego wanted to say, apparently.

Diego said, shaking his head to the side as if he was frightened.

"Sure, that's right, but that's not the problem. If you follow the name of the Son of the Old Sea and the Fishman, this is what happens when you fix it to human language." Royalty. "

"... eh. But this girl... she's as good as she was trying to make me look. Whatever..."

I'm royal on boulders, if that's what you mean. Isn't it easy to rely on someone in this city?

I thought so.

But Perusa answers this question herself.

"It was Lent who firmly named himself in this city. I've never been against you before."

"... why. You'd have had one shot if you'd named the other fishermen, wouldn't you?

"I don't even know much about my face in Midstate. I'm only fooled that you named me on the ground. But you're not a fisherman, and I was wondering if it's okay."
