Chapter Twenty-Two: The Clash of Spear and shi+eld

They altered the gardens to make space for our duel

Torches were set along the peri the feast caht

But of course everyone already kneas going to turn out

I was unable to attack at all, and there I was fighting with the Spear Hero

But this wasn’t a fight between the shi+eld Hero and the Spear Hero This was a fight between Motoyasu and me He was just so prideful I couldn’t stand it

Anyone could see hoould end though

Everyone was shouting out their bets, and I couldn’t hear anything over the din

The castle had hts, but there were soainst the wave I suppose it was only natural that they would bet on it

So apparently everyone knew that I would lose, and they wanted to make money off it

Ren and Itsuki atching fro

They probably couldn’t wait to see me lose

Dammit Dammit Dammit Dammit!

All of theet rid of me

During the battle, they rained fire down on top of me

The whole world was hed at me

Fine All I could do was lose That was ht

Watch me, Motoyasu I hate you I HATE you, ine You can’t stop it

“Now for the duel between the shi+eld Hero and the Spear Hero! The duel will end when one of the contestants is pinned, or admits defeat”

I rolled

“In a battle between a shi+eld and a Spear, in? Givedown”

Motoyasu stuck his nose in the air and laughed at me

Ugh, I hate him

“Now then…”

Motoyasu, I’ll show you that victoryyour opponent

Victory was about accooals were different froo The best spear in the world was the one that kills its opponent, but the best shi+eld in the world is the one that protects its holder They weren’t trying to acco at all

“Begin!”

“AHHHHHHHHHHH!”

“GRAHHHHHHHHHHH!”

I braced myself for a blow and ran at Motoyasu Motoyasu readied his spear and ran at ood jab

Suddenly, ere very close I was in his range, and he threw his weight behind the spear and jabbed it at me

If I knehere the attack was co from, I could probably defend myself

“Chaos Stab!”

Motoyasu’s spear instantly split into many spears, and they all flew at me

A skill! He was really co after me

But he couldn’t stop my advance I protected my head with the shi+eld and ran at him

Ugh… Sharp spear points bit into me in two places: my shoulder and side

It was a scratch, they’d only grazed er than the enee time, apparently, and he was now in cool down mode

“Take that!”

He turned and thrust the blade of his spear at me

That hatat a distance, but once the eneot close, it became unwieldy very quickly

Norot too close But he couldn’t do that because et past his first attack

I dodged the spear jab, threw all round

Then I raised my fist and punched him square in the face

Clang!

dae

Was thatelse

Motoyasu s hi at me

Just how long did he think he could laugh me off?

I threw back ainst his face

“Ahh!”

They’d all burned up during the rain of fire, but I picked up some more on the way back to the castle

“What the??”

Ahaha… Motoyasu was screa in confusion

The balloon bit down deep

“Ouch! O!”

It had bit into his face, his perfect little face

That’s right, I couldn’t attack by ned for attacking other people, and they are called balloons

“Ahaaaa!”

I put two on his face, and then on his legs to keep hiood measure

“What the hell are these balloons?”

The croere shouting

Like I cared!

I put all ing deep into his crotch

“What… You! I’ll get you!”

“If I can’t win anyway, I ht as well make you as miserable as I can! I’ll start with that face you use to control the ladies, and take care of your little friend down there too! Without your face and your balls, you’re nothing! Some ladies man!”

“What?! Arghhhhhh!”

“You’re not getting up!”

He reached up to pull the balloons off, but I held his arms down
