Chapter 42 (2/2)

In other words, the match was to that extent, or possibly, it could go longer.

Either way, they should have stop long time ago.

”Yes… it should be until one of them is knocked down, right?” (Aina)

”That's not it, you know? Although I said that this is a simulated fight, the main point of doing the test is to make sure that they can be adventurers. Such a reason has been fulfilled long time ago.” (Doris)

”Nii-sama may not be aware of it… No, perhaps he already aware, but why Sheila-san is continuing the fight?” (Lina)

”Well… I won't know unless I ask the person herself. That girl is not supposed to be defeated, so… I guess that there is something to worry about.” (Doris)

”Something to worry… Hmm, it's certainly not strange to worry because the opponent is Nii-sama… No, it's rather natural.” (Lina)

”For me, I'm worried more with the way of your thinking…” (Aina)

Even while exchanging such a conversation, the match kept going on.

The sound and movement became more intensified… But still, Soma displayed a relax expression even from the beginning.

To begin with, he didn't show too much expression in that match.

Literally speaking, there was none.

Doris thought so when looking at the difference of Soma's and Sheila's conditions.

Well, she couldn't see Sheila's expression, but she could guess most of it from her movements.

She didn't spend time with Sheila just for show.

And according to her expression, Sheila could hardly afford leeway.

It was just a match with Soma as opponent… or it might be that Soma was training Sheila.

Speaking of which, that standpoint should be the opposite, but when Doris thought about it, a bitter smile floated on her face.

Anyway, speaking of various conclusions…

…The biggest surprise would be the boy himself, Soma.

While thinking of that, there was movement in that direction.

Sheila took a great distance from each other after repelling Soma's weapon.

”It's finally finished… uh, it doesn't seem that way…” (Aina)

”The mood is burning, and it feels somehow cringe… and that is…” (Lina)

”Aah… are they planning to end it next? Goodness…” (Doris)

On Soma's side, he felt Sheila's intention and tried to match it, but there was no mistake that Sheila had made up her mind.

Well, even if that wasn't a proof, he was still preparing for it.

While the feeling of tension spreading to the point that the atmosphere was trembling, Sheila prepared herself and put the sword in the sheath.

It was considerably unique when she held the sheath on the waist with left hand.

Soma was facing that with welcoming eyes.

He didn't do anything else other than putting a smile as if it was intriguing.

There wasn't any spare time to stop that.

In order to release the strength acc.u.mulated, the ground exploded immediately after Sheila was stooping,

That body would instantly approach Soma…

”…Blade…” (Sheila)

— Advance Rank Marksmans.h.i.+p – Precise Shooting – Mind Focus – Quick Draw: Rapid Shot.

A sound echoed, and before Sheila could step forward, the ground in front of Soma exploded and their movements stopped.

”As I expected, both of you won't stop unless I do that. Anyway, that's it.” (Doris)

Doris said so to those two with a gun that let out smoke held in hand.

Although Doris was an Advanced Rank skill holder, she was a veteran adventurer.

It was possible to stop if she knew the point where they would clash. Even if she couldn't see the movement, she could still do it if she shot at the right moment.

Although it was barely at the last minute…

While paying attention so that the two didn't sense that, Doris put away her guns and told them further.

”I will not stop if I don't have too, but this is the end of the test. If possible, I want you to find another opportunity even if you want to continue this.” (Doris)

”Hmm… Well, alright.” (Soma)

”…Yes, it's already enough, and that's for sure.” (Sheila)

When both of them said so, they retracted their weapons and withdrew.

Doris really wanted them to do that voluntarily.

However, she didn't let out her feeling and just washed it away with sigh.

”With this, I can tell the result. Well, it is as expected. Anyhow, shall we head back?” (Doris)

She would like to tell it one more time, but it was necessary to have good appearance.

Anyway, Doris left the scene first while leading the group of three along with Sheila who came to her side to where they came from.
