(I was urged by the editor boss again...... Well, from today onwards, be a good author who works hard to update, and in the future, please call me a full author of festivals~)

——————————————

"Have you listened to the rhythm of the wind?"

With such words in his ears, Estes was slightly startled in his heart.

The young man sitting cross-legged opposite him had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, the wind was blowing.

Obviously it was underground, a one-way passage that was impermeable, but at the moment it was blowing an incomprehensible storm.

His pupils shrank, and Estes's clothes were blown and the buttons were unbuttoned.

Sensing that she seemed to be about to be turned naked by the updraft, the queen frowned, and a terrifying chill pervaded her, instantly freezing her clothes as hard as iron.

Qiye watched this scene with some pity.

"As swift as the wind, as violent as thunder."

The look of pity only flashed a little, and the boy quickly returned to his normal state, whispering in his mouth.

At this moment, Estes seemed to sense something, and his steps quickly flashed to the side.

bili~呯~!

Almost at the same time, a dark blue bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air, splitting a large crater where she had been standing.

The sound of the electric zlazila sounded in the girl's ears.

Estes looked up and found that in the direction of the sky above, I don't know when a thundercloud had converged.

The storm howled and the thunder raged.

"That's what it is...... Your Imperial Equipment? ”

Looking at this scene, the queen murmured, the corners of her mouth hooked, and a warlike smile was pulled.

"Emperor's ...... Think of it the same way. Nanaya smiled and raised his hand, feeling the furious aura around him.

"Now you're only qualified to let me make a move."

"You're the first to dare to speak to me like that." Estes looked at him excitedly, his eyes flickering, as if he had discovered a powerful hunter of a super dangerous species.

"Are you sure I'm the first?"

"......" The queen was stunned for a moment.

In my memory, an extremely deep impression resurfaced.

The same man said the same thing at the beginning.

Now you are only qualified to let me make a move......

Stroking a faint scar next to her neck, the queen looked at the young man sitting leisurely there.

The figure in my memory, and the figure in front of me, seem to slowly begin to coincide.

"Nian Qi, Dragon and Tiger Roar."

Regardless of what Estes was thinking now, Nanaya picked up the teacup in his hand, smiled slightly, and softly spit out these words in his mouth.

The clouds are from the dragon, and the wind is from the tiger.

Roar——!

In my ears, there seemed to be a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring.

In front of her, a storm tiger and a thunderbolt dragon condensed and formed, staring at her with terrifying eyes.

Wind and thunder are born together, and dragons and tigers are in the tiger.

"Block me!"

There was a strong sense of crisis, so that Estes had no time to think about anything else.

As soon as his palms touched, countless ice and snow appeared out of thin air, turning into ice walls, blocking in front of him layer by layer.

“……”

Nanaya waited for the other party's move, and it wasn't until Estes had laid out all the defenses and his face turned a little pale that a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and looked at the other party.

"Why are you so nervous all of a sudden, General Estes."

“……”

The queen looked at him coldly, and her ice-blue eyes flashed with a look called jealousy.

Although she vaguely guessed the identity of the person in front of her, she was still not completely sure because of the deep-rooted image problem.

Who would have believed that Death was only a teenager?

"Looks like you're fully prepared." The other party didn't speak, and Nanaya also felt a little bored, shrugged his shoulders, and snapped his fingers.

The dragon roars and the tiger roars.

A blow that condenses the power of wind and thunder to the pinnacle.

Ice chips flying.

The seemingly solid wall of ice was easily pierced in the face of this attack, as if it were made of paper.

It ended with a bang.

Qiye retracted the fluctuation of killing intent, and looked at the 'strongest in the empire' that was in tattered clothes and bloodstained on the ground, half-kneeling.

Put away the tea set, lift your feet, and walk in front of the other person.

Condescendingly, looking at the girl with her head down.

"Weakling...... Why fight? ”

A mocking smile appeared on the boy's face.

Lift your foot and kick the opponent's strong body into the air.

Estes's body slashed a parabola through the air and fell to the ground with a thud.

There was no cry of pain, just a faint wheezing sound that echoed through the silent hallway.

If someone sees the youngest general of the empire now, I'm afraid they will be speechless in surprise, right?

Is this still the same Estes, who has won all battles and is admired by countless soldiers throughout the empire?

……

"I see, am I still weak?"

After a moment of silence, the girl lying on the ground sat up strongly, looked at the young man with his hands on his chest not far away, and laughed slightly self-deprecatingly.

"That's right, this is the weak, the weak who can't even take a move, the weak is the end."

"Are you unwilling?" Seven Nights looked at her.

"How could it be...... Willing. Swinging to her feet, the queen raised her head and smiled: "It is precisely because you are weak that you have to fight, and you have to be stronger than anyone else, to get rid of this feeling of powerlessness." ”

“……”

"I ...... Sooner or later, they'll trample you underfoot...... death！ ”

"I heard you say this four years ago." Nanaya shrugged his shoulders absently, and a disdainful smile overflowed at the corner of his mouth: "But I'm sorry, I didn't let others surpass my habits." ”

"Just laugh at me at this moment, I won't be angry, because this is the treatment of the weak."

Regaining some strength, Estes straightened up.

There was no hatred on the face, no anger, only a smile.

The girl's eyes flashed with a light of incomparable excitement and strong persistence.

Is...... Interesting.

Smiling slightly, Qiye walked in front of the other party.

His gaze swept over the other party's youthful body, and while nodding in admiration, the young man took out a piece of clothing from his personal space and threw it to the other party.

"Want to surpass me? Heh~ Give you this opportunity. ”

Turning his head and walking into the distance, Qiye's eyes flashed with interest: "But before that, according to your rules of survival, you, a weakling, are now my thing." ”

"So, put that dress on me, and from today onwards, you Estes will be my personal property."

“……”

Estes stared at the back of Seven Nights,

Bow your head and spread out the laundry in your hands.

That's a ...... Black and white ...... Maid outfit.

"I see, I've become a private property."

There was no expression of surprise on her face, and the girl took it for granted, as if it was supposed to be like this.

The law of the jungle eats the strong, that's what it is.

It's as if she would take everything from the other party after she killed the dangerous species, and now that she has become the one who is 'hunted', she naturally loses everything.

Of course, these are only temporary......
