“Master、Master？”

Noticing that the Master was unresponsive, Zero shook Lie's shoulders and cried softly.

"Huh?"

Waking up from his contemplation, he looked at Zero in a daze.

"Chino is ready, Master." As Zero spoke, he handed over the bamboo knife.

"Oh, uh-huh~..."Lie looked at the bamboo knife and realized what he was going to do next.

Just about half an hour ago, Chino made a request to lie to face the enemy Heroic Spirit with his Servant Nursery Rhyme.

This is quite a dangerous idea, in the previous battle, although Lie and Chino were on the battlefield, they were both in relatively safe places.

If you want to fight directly with the Heroic Spirits with the human body, even the magicians in a normal Holy Grail War are difficult to do.

Mie and Ako are able to do that, more because they... It's the deep sea.

Although it has not awakened to the strongest state, it is enough to deal with the current Holy Grail War. It's just that with the return of Lingji and the improvement of the strength of the Heroic Spirits, it will be difficult for Mie and Yazi to participate in the battle of the Heroic Spirits.

But I can't say no... Chino's reason made Lie unable to think of any words of refusal - because Lie also had the same thoughts.

Looking at the innocent little Lori nursery rhyme, Lie turned his gaze to Chino and offered to fight Chino once before answering Chino's request.

Well, it's the same as the literal meaning, Lie Yao and Chino. Lucky to fight.

Chino's reaction was to be stunned for a moment, then saluted very solemnly, and then turned around to prepare... Although the kendo class at Fangwen College is set in the second year, these ladies have been in contact with it for a long time, and some of them are quite good at it.

Moreover, in the villa of the Chino family, there is a room dedicated to practice.

“…”

Bathing and changing clothes, putting on protective gear, Chino. Yuki clearly takes this very seriously. Seeing that Chino was so serious, Lie also made the same preparations, but he was always distracted on the way.

In fact, Ryutsu didn't know why he would fight Chino Sho, and he kept thinking about it while preparing... It wasn't until just now that I finally got the answer.

…

"Something interesting seems to be happening."

Jiu appeared in the room where kendo training was taking place, sat on one side in a nun's suit, and talked to Zero, Xiaonan, and Xiaoxi on the side.

"Jiu~" shouted intimately, and then explained the current situation to Jiu.

“…”

"I see, the Admiral wants to be with Chino. Lucky competition? The corners of his mouth were raised, and Jiu looked at the field with great interest, and Lie and Qianno had just walked to the middle.

…

In the field.

"Chino will do her best to defeat Lord Lie."

"Well, it's good."

After the conversation and mutual salute before the beginning, Lie and Chino. The battle between the fortunate ones has begun~!

Seven steps back, Chino. Xing looked at Lie ten steps away, holding the bamboo sword in his hand with both hands. The posture is elegant, the expression is serious, and the Chino . Yuki slowly moved the bamboo knife.

"Hey~!"

A cry of power, Chino. Fortunately, he quickly shortened the distance between him and Lord Lie, and when there were only three steps left, he waved the bamboo knife in his hand.

The sound of "Xiu Xiu~" broke the air, and Chino's attack was very powerful, but it missed~!

Without hesitation, the moment of the frustration changed angles, Chino attacked Lie again, sweeping from the bottom up.

The sounds of "Dong Dong ~ Dang Dong ~" sounded one after another, which was the sound of gradually colliding with each other.

Chino's attack is actually full and extremely urgent, as can be seen from the sharp body and vigorous stride, Chino has practiced this a lot.

…

Sidelines.

"Although the second lady has not been professionally evaluated, her strength is not weak." Xiao Nan looked at Qianno in the field, and said with nostalgia: "That's when I was in elementary school..."

"In the past, when the eldest lady was training, the second lady was always watching from the sidelines, and she often went out to sparring... Obviously, only the eldest lady was requested. Konishi nodded, as a thousand no. Fortunately, the maids are of course very aware of these past events.

"Speaking of which, why is Lord Lie always dodging and defending... Is zero clear? ”

"Master..."Zero frowned, and said that he should have known, why... But can't tell?

Jiu on the side watched the scene of the battle between Lie and Chino with a smile on his face, and naturally recalled the dojo that he once guarded in a certain town.

"It's so nostalgic... It's been so long, and it still feels like yesterday in retrospect. Jiu let out an extremely slight muttering to himself: "Admiral... Remember what Nine taught? ”

That's right, Lie's combat ability was taught by Lie's strongest ship, Niangjiu~! This is something that predates Jiu teaching Zero how to fight, and there are very few ship mothers who know about it.

…

"Want to win? I want to be recognized by Lord Lie~! "Chino is attacking frantically, the opponent is Lord Lie, and as soon as Chino comes up, he uses all his strength... But why always dodge?

In the face of Chino's attack, Lie is basically in a state of dodge and defense... It wasn't defeated by Chino's attack, nor did it fight back with stronger strength, but it was avoided.

A layer of blush appeared on Chino's face, and the moment he stopped, the hand holding the bamboo sword trembled slightly.

"Why don't you beat me? Why not be defeated by me? Biting her lip, Chino asked Lie-sama... Obviously, it was Lord Lie who proposed to fight.

However, after the battle began, did you avoid the battle and consume your physical strength?

Chino knows that exerting physical strength is also a tactic, but it is not suitable for the current situation, right?

When Lie-sama proposes to fight, Chino thinks that Lie-sama wants to test whether he has the strength to fight alongside nursery rhymes.

So Chino agreed, and desperately wanted to prove to Lord Lie that Chino had this strength~!

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the position of his waist, and Chino took a deep breath... If you can defeat Lie-sama, you can prove that you have the strength to fight with nursery rhymes, right?

No, that's - Lord Lie, who 'single-handedly overturned the kendo club', is a 'knight who is trusted by everyone'~! (Inexplicable shame)

If you want to defeat Lord Lie, it's impossible... But if that's the case, there's a chance, right? Even if it's Lie-sama, if you use that, you might really have a chance.

However, with that, will Ryol-sama be angry... No, this was originally taught by Lord Lie, and in order to win, Lord Lie must be able to understand.

Chino was shocked, and his eyes showed determination, and he attacked Lie again.

“…”

"Dodge~, dodge~..."In the face of Chino's attack, Lie turned his pace and dodged most of it.

The soul network covers the whole field, and with the reflexes and strength that far surpass Chino, Lie has many opportunities to counterattack between Chino's attacks.

There is a possibility of defeating Chino every time, but Lie has been dodging, and if he can't dodge, he simply blocks it with a bamboo knife.

Lie noticed that Chino's mood was getting worse and worse, probably because of a battle that he took so seriously, but he was angered because he didn't seem to be serious, right?

Well, it seems that Chino, who has always been gentle and quiet, also has such angry times... It's pretty cute.

Of course, Lie is not teasing Chino, the reason why he said this has his own considerations.

"It's too hot..."After Riol dodged an attack, he responded to Chino: "The intention is completely exposed~!" ”

"Left thrust, right stab..."

No longer dodging, every time Chino attacks, Lie blocks once, and at the same time says the location of Chino's attack a moment before the attack.

The bamboo knives collided with each other, making a series of 'dong dong ~ dangdang ~' sounds, and all of Chino's attacks were defended.

"How could it be..."Chino lost his mind for a while, his breath was chaotic, and his elegance was no longer there.

It's to be expected that you can't beat Lord Lie, but now it seems that the gap is too big... In that case, I have to use that!

Footsteps moved, Chino went around to the back side of Lie, held the handle of the bamboo knife with both hands, and made a Juhe slash~!

Unsurprisingly, the slash was blocked, and Chino took a step back... The real killer move, I have to start using it now~!

"Watch your back~!" While evacuating, Chino still couldn't help but shout... Although it was to win, Chino didn't really want to hurt Lie-sama.

Just now, before Chino made a debut and slashed it, he quietly threw out a gem when he went around... That's right, it's a gem used to release gem magic~!

At the same time, the gem that had been thrown out in advance was floating behind Lie's back.

The light bloomed, and the jewel disappeared, turning into a hot flame that burned brightly, directly destroying the tatami mats under his feet.

"Danger, Lord Lie~!" Looking at the rising flames, Chino in a certain state was like being poured a basin of cold water... What have you done, you will actually attack Lord Lie with gems~!

The magic of nursery rhymes is very powerful, and under such a surprise sneak attack, Lord Lie...

"It's too obvious~!" Just as Chino watched the flames fall into self-blame, a fierce voice came, and there was a fierce wind.

"Left block, right dodge..."Ryo attacked while saying to Chino how to dodge.

Rao is like this, Chino is still retreating under the frequent offensive of the fierce, and at the same time, a mood of joy, confusion, and confusion rises in his heart.

"When fighting... It should be more pure~! Ryu walked behind Chino and whispered in her ear.

"You don't have to think about how to prove yourself to me, you don't have to think about fighting with nursery rhymes after victory... All Chino has to do now is fight me, that's all. ”

In this Holy Grail War, Lie accepted Chino's commission and joined as Chino's instructor... And now, Lie is instructing.

"The Heroic Spirit is far more powerful than I am... There are still so many selfish distractions when fighting, it's not okay~! ”

One attack after another, Lie grasped the measure, leaving Chino in a state where he could barely resist.

Lie knew that fighting the Heroic Spirit was extremely dangerous, so before Chino officially fought the Heroic Spirit, he instructed her on the way to fight the Heroic Spirit... It's also Lie's own way of fighting.

"Whether it's attacking or throwing gems, it's all too obvious, give me a little more concealment~!" As Lie spoke, he picked up the bamboo knife in Chino's hand.

Without mercy, the fierce bamboo knife struck Chino's body, and Chino squatted there holding her stomach in pain.

Walking to the side, picking up the bamboo knife that fell there, Lie threw it to Chino and asked, "Do you want to continue?" ”

“…”

Looking at the bamboo knife that fell in front of him, Qiannai's expression was in a trance, and his spirit was in a state of dissociation from just now.

“… It's good that Lord Lie wasn't hurt..."

“… Failed? Lord Lie, won't Lord Lie agree? ”

"Sure enough, are you still too immature?"

“…”

"Chino. Luck~! Seeing Chino with his head down and his fighting spirit disappearing, Lie not only shouted.

"Huh?" Chino raised his head and looked at Lord Lie in front of him... Lord Lie, who had never seen such an expression, was full of pain.

Why, without expectation or disappointment, why is it pain?

Holding the hilt again, Chino stood up, even though her abdomen was still aching... Ryol-sama must be angry or disappointed, right? But none of that matters.

"Please advise, Lord Lie." Chino completely calmed down, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, returning to her original graceful posture.

"Please advise, Chino." Lie breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed a lot, and he smiled and saluted Qiannai.

“…”

At the same time, the charge was launched, and Lie and Chino fought together, and the bamboo knife made a collision sound of 'dong dong ~ dangdang ~'.

"It's too slow..."

"Not enough strength..."

"React faster..."

“… The goal is on the vital point~! ”

…

"Do you want to go out? Zero" Jiu noticed that Zero stood up and walked outside, asking.

"Yes." Zero nodded and said softly, "Go prepare water for bathing and clothes for going out..."

"What about here?"

"It's almost over."

“… That's right. ”

Eyes moved to the field, and now the fierce attack is non-stop, and Chino is trying to resist. The sound of the bamboo knife colliding resounded in the room, and before I knew it, a short time had passed.

Konan and Konishi also stood up, and they also noticed that the battle was coming to an end.

…

"Chino knows, Lie-sama." While trying to block, Chino said to Lie, "Compared to the enemy Heroic Spirit, Chino is very weak. ”

"However, Chino will look for every opportunity to defeat the enemy Heroic Spirit... Down with Lord Lie~! ”

As soon as he turned to the defensive, Chino dodged an attack and resumed his fierce attack.

"Strength, Swiftness, Skill, Extra Attack~!" (Puff~, a mouthful of old blood.) ）

The battle stopped, and Ryu and Chino looked at each other while saying, "Thank you for the advice." ”

"Lord Lie is really merciless..."After the battle, Chino pouted with a cute little face.

In the final teaching, Ryutsu hit Chino's body many times, and despite controlling the power, it still hurt a little.

"It's all for Chino's growth... It's all on the protective gear, and it won't be very serious. Lie stood there, smiling and nodding.

"Second Miss." Konan and Konishi quickly ran over after the battle and helped Chino remove her protective gear and clothes.

"Look, there's only a few marks left, and they'll be gone soon... Wait, don't change your clothes here~! ”

“…”

"It's ready, ready to take a bath....Master?" When Zero came in, he happened to see the scene of Xiao Nan and Xiao Nishi helping Chino change clothes.

"Nine leaves first, Admiral." Jiu noticed the situation at this time, and as he spoke, the figure had disappeared.
