Chapter 8.2 - Black-and-White Princess and Soul Dress [2] – part 2 (2/2)

If the opponent isn’t easy-to-read like Ria-san, I can’t use it in actual combat.

Looking at it from a practical standpoint, it is not as good as Flying Shadow or Yatagarasu.

First, it has many weak points.

Slashes installed in the space are not completely invisible, and if you look really carefully, you can see a slight air gap.

It is also very difficult to set up a slash so that the opponent does not realize it.

(But… this time I could win thanks to her over-confidence in the power of soul dress…)

The next time I fight her, I will definitely have a hard time.

(I also have to train more…)

And as I swore in my heart to train further,

「Ahem ー Anyway, this duel ended in the victory of Allen… What will you do, Ria?」

Leia-sensei expressed a teasing grin.

「What do you mean by that?」

She seems to have actually forgotten.

With a puzzled look, she slightly tilted her head.

「I’m talking about that thing. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten… the promise before the duel.」

「Promise before the duel…!?」

Ria-san suddenly became speechless, and her face turned pale with every passing moment.

(I can’t believe, she actually forgot the conditions of the duel…)

「Oh, that reaction, does that mean you’ve recalled it?『The loser has to become the slave of the winner』…right?」

For some reason, not the winner of the duel, but the witness, Leah-sensei, was in the process of cornering Ria-san.

「E-Err… that slave thing was just a… you know, a figure of speech…」

She began to become visibly dismayed and hastily shook her hands.

Her line of sight swam right and left and was clearly acting suspicious.

「Well, the current duel hasn’t passed through the reception office, and it wasn’t enforced through formal procedure. So, I don’t mind keeping quiet about it.」

Unexpectedly, Leia-sensei reached out a helping hand.

「Le-Leia…!」

Ria-san looked at Leia-sensei as though looking at god.

(…Well, this actually saves me from the trouble)

To be honest, even if she was told to『become a slave』, it would be troublesome.

After all, she is the princess of the Vesteria Kingdom.

If such a thing leaked out, it will surely be a big problem.

(For the time being, this is one issue settled…)

As I stretched my body,

「But … are you really okay with this?」

Leia-sensei asked Ria-san with a serious expression.

「A-About what…?」

「Oh you… The proud princess of the Vesteria kingdom, lost the fight that she『personally』picked, and is also trying to escape from the penalty she『personally』had presented. But, if you’re okay with that, then it’s fine… It was simply on my mind. that’s all. Un, you don’t have to worry about it.」

This issue was finally coming to an end… but this person…

I can affirm, Leia-sensei has a bad personality. Considerably bad.

Even right now, she was completely playing with Ria-san.

(…I should not get too involved with this person)

While I was thinking about that, Ria-san finally started groaning loudly.

「KU, UUUUUUUU! …E-Enough! I understand, I understand already! I will keep my promise, that should be fine, right!?」

Out of desperation, Ria-san yelled loudly halfway through.

Looking at her, Leia-sensei shrugged her shoulders unnaturally.

「Oi Oi, don’t make it sound as though I’m forcing you. This is your problem to solve. Will you keep your promise and become a slave, or will you run away from your promise? It’s no good if you don’t decide for yourself.」

「Mu, guuuu…」

She cried out a voice that couldn’t be heard and glared at me.

And then,

「I-I am inexperienced but, p-please treat me well… Master…」

Ria-san, whose face was dyed in red, bit her lip and while trembling in shame, bowed her head.

「Eh, err… umm, me too…」

Due to everything that happened today, I’m exhausted, but for the time being I decided to put an end to this scene, and bowed my head.
