I and Ange-san resigned ourselves to participating in the tournament.
Regarding the costumes… Yep, let's finish our fights instantly.
I usually enjoy fighting, but just this time I can't say something like that.
Let's do our best to expose our figures as little as possible.
Knock knock
Somebody knocked while we were still trying on the costumes.
"How are they? Are there no problems with size?"
It's granduncle.
Grandmother replied to granduncle's question.
"Yeah, they're alright."
Lute-sama's and Allen-kun's voices could also be heard there.
"Lillinsama, why don't we have a little spar in the tournament costumes?"
"Ange, you better get used to it too?"
I understand, those two are saying that out of kindness…
However!
I and Ange-san answered uniformly.
""It's alright! We'll seal these costumes until the tournament!""
I understand it's important to get used to it.
But, peace of mind is also important.
After all, if I go out like that my mental condition will suffer.
I wish you'd understand my maidenly heart that wants to keep embarrassment to only that day.
That's why I and Ange-san changed our clothes in a hurry and decided to securely seal the costumes till that day.
From this day, our motivation to train changed.
Men didn't go that far, but I and Ange-san were obsessed.
Because, even if a tiny bit we have to shorten the time fighting in these costumes!
"Just a little, Sasuke! Anything is fine so teach me ninja arts."
"Ha? What are, you saying. I told you, before, if you, don't go to, the Eastern Country, it's impossible."
"Even if it's impossible, I need whatever advantage I can get for the tournament! Otherwise, I and Lillinoneesama… No, I don't care about myself. If there's anything to visually protect Lillinoneesama, that's fine. That's why please! Please help and teach me!"
Ange-san strongly pressed on the reluctant Sasuke-san.
If she gets even a bit closer, it'll be a distance where she can kiss him.
Sasuke-san who's always detached inadvertently became a little red.
"G, got it. That's why, don't get, so close. Do you, understand, you are, a woman?"
"Of course I understand that. Because you said 'got it', properly teach me."
As Sasuke-san was overwhelmed by Ange-san, it seems he'll really reluctantly teach her some arts.
Well, no matter what he says, Sasuke-san is soft on Ange-san.
As for me, I asked grandmother to be my partner.
Grandfather seems to be busy with Lute-sama and Allen-kun.
"Hey, Lillina, close in to your opponent faster."
There was no time to think about anything else.
Grandmother, who I was squaring off against, attacked in the blink of an eye.
"Now, increase your speed. You can do it, right?"
I can't be unwilling.
It's impossible to fight grandmother without always using full power.
I vigorously swung my sword at grandmother.
"Fufu, that's right. This manner. But… you're not paying attention to your feet~."
Saying that, grandmother aimed a kick at my feet.
I immediately jumped to avoid her attack, grandmother seemingly having anticipated that, immediately slammed herself into me.
"Lillina, although you are strong, you know you must not be careless in this country? Particularly, there will be those who will do anything to gain victory, so be careful. Even if you think you've won, don't relax your attention until the end. Truly anything can happen before the end of the match is signaled."
Grandmother warned me.
"Actually, when I participated, there was a person who pretended to faint and attacked the moment I turned around."
"Grandmother, what did you do at that time?"
For now, let's confirm.
Somehow, I predicted it…
"Fufu, I wonder if it was the way you imagined? I avoided the attack without turning around, and right away struck her solar plexus and chin. I thought she could endure more, but she seems to have really fainted… I should have done that from the start."
Yup, it's more heated up than I expected.
It's too bad for the person doing the surprise attack that the opponent was too amazing.
It was probably the pattern where she was completely deceived by grandmother's appearance.
"Now then, let's leave the chatter aside and practice a bit more."
Grandmother said so with a smile, eventually her special lesson continued for five hours without any break.
Frankly, demons aren't a big deal.
I felt like that on this day.
