Vol 8 Chapter 3 (1/2)

Eccentric Girls

The Sirius Do time

“Hohou…… I see That again is a quite delicious-looking box lunch, huh”

“……When I ondering why you were strangely late in coeez”

The scornful eyes of Julis, who folded her arms, and Saya hurt his back

Because he returned with a box lunch for so back, he was prepared to receive at least one co that he’s received froirls’ eyes became colder

“Even though ill have athat will affect teamwork is a problem, Ayato”

“Even if you tell me that……”

Even Claudia mildly admonished him

However, that box lunch of Sylvia was actually so delicious as to make one’s cheeks fall off

Open sandwiches garnished with various spreads/ingredients such as setables and smoke salmon on top While simple, it was a lunch in which the time and labor set in all over shone

The fact that she was confident in her cooking seemed to be true

If one htly more comfortable space, he would have been able to enjoy the taste more

“U-Um, everyone, why don’t atch the TV? The teaun……”

As Kirin bravely tried to change such an at room was equipped with

『……With that said, I’ned for the live coverage of this i shi+zuna-san, an OG of Le Wolfe Black Institute and also the one currently acting as the first-class guard chief in the Star Hunter Guard, has been invited!』

Projected there was the female announcer whose face they were completely familiar with since last year’s

『Thank you, I’ll be in your care』

On the other hand, the commentator seemed to be a different person from the

the said person, a woman with cut and evened up black hair and sleepy eyes, bowed her head

Claudia, who saw her, held her lips as she was slightly surprised

“Oh my, this person…… if I’m not mistaken, she was one of Yatsuzaki-sensei’s teammates”

“Eh!?”

That ryps>

“A co the people who’ve left excellent results in the past <festas> It isn’t that strange”

“……Then aht Sensei be invited, too?”

“It’s obviously different for people in active service and belonging to any of the six acadeht?”

To Saya’s innocent question, Julis answered as she was amazed

It would certainly be as such when taking fairness/impartiality into consideration

“But, this time, ere really indebted to Yatsuzaki-sensei To repay that favor, we have to do our best”

“──It goes without saying It will be fine as long as we leave the saht?”

Julis fearlessly twisted her lips at Claudia’s words

They had Kyouko strictly coach theh, on top of the stock of Kyouko’s ability, it was not like she always held mock battles every time Even so, when the summer ended, they were able to carry out team battles to the point where they suffered alainst Kyouko and her puppet teah of results

『……Well then, Hiiragi-san Though abrupt, I’ll rely on you for the prominent teams’ presentation and commentary of the current tournament』

『First of all, the first favorites on the list are as expected the Silver Wings of Garrardsworth ── especially their first team, Teaht=””> Ernest Fairclough-kun as its head, four a the five tearyps> The only new ht=”” (agrestia)=””>, is also the wielder of the ogre lux <holy grail=””> There is also data revealing that in Garrardsworth’s history, the tearail=””> has never missed a championshi+p』

『<holy sword=””> is the nicknarail=””> is the nicknaoat=”” amalthea)=””> It’s also the same for Player Laetitia Blanchard’s nickname, which is <holy woman=””>, but there are many students of Garrardsworth who seem to be applied an alias』

『It is probably their tradition Now then, the two aforere luxes are ones which are extreainst In addition to this, since the other three team members, that is Player Blanchard, also known as <witch of=”” light=”” wings=””>, the <black shi+eld=”” (gareth)=””> and the <king spear=”” (rhongomiant)=””>, are quite excellent as supports, it won’t be an exaggeration to call it a rock-solid lineup』

『In fact, no matter which odds you see, this Tealy most popular』

As expected, there see it that Tea favorites

『Well then, what about Team Tristan of the same Garrardsworth?』

『Unlike Team Lancelot, this team is peculiar in the fact that it is composed of new members』

『Although it was the runner-up team of the previous tournaraduated after all Isn’t that area a cause for concern?』

『Even so, Elliot Forster-kun, also known as <shi+ning sword=”” (claíomh=”” solais)=””>, who became Garrardsworth’s rank 6 newly this year, is now considered to be an owner of sword skills next to Ernest Fairclough-kun; and the ability of the rank 7 Noel Mesmer-san, also known as <witch of=”” the=”” holy=”” thorn=”” (persefore)=””>, is very strong, too It’s a teah chances to aim for the championshi+p, too』

『I see, I see As expected of Garrardsworth which boasts of the ryps> ──Then, then, what about their antagonists?』

『The one whose naonist is Teauess』

“Wow! Our team’s name is……!”

“Well, that’s a given, isn’t it? Even looking objectively, there’s noit that we are one of the favorites after all”

In contrast to the surprised Kirin, Claudia smiled with a face as to say that it was a matter of fact

Certainly even looking at only ranks, with the new and old ranks 1, the rank 2 and the rank 5 gathered in the same team, there was no doubt that they would attract the public’s eye whether they wanted it or not Moreover, there were also two ogre luxes namely <ser-versta> and

『After all, there areof the best four; with that alone, anyone can understand hoerful a tea member, Claudia Enfield-san, also known as the <re lux

, which has the ability of future foresight, and is rank 2 It’s one of the few teams which can stand up to Garrardsworth’s two teath』

『Hohou!』

『Also, although I don’t know his naon, whose participation in the <festa> has finally been allowed by that , has his naryps> One can easily anticipate that he’s a very powerful person』

『You’re speaking of World Dragon’s rank 2, contender Woo Xiao Fay, right? LikeFan XingLu-san, he’s a contender who has almost never come out in public until now; but his activity in this tournareatly anticipated』

『The other , <tenka -san, and the very strong teas who participated actively in this year’s

In the first place, considering that “Yellow Dragon” is a team na World Dragon’s representative, no one will say otherwise even if I noht?』

Teaonthem, there were three faces that Ayato and co-haired woman’s face in match videos; but only the man with a clear-cut and fearless face were they not familiar with

“This person is the <hagun star=””>, huh……”

“Yes There is alainst theth to some extent before that”

He was that XingLu’s best disciple, so he was probably a very strong person as the commentator said

“Cecily Wong and Zhao HuFeng can’t be taken lightly, too To be frank, if those two had for and participated in this

, I don’t knohether we’d have been able to win the

”

Julis suddenly tightened the grip of her hands joined together while keeping her gaze at the space ith a serious expression

HuFeng’s strength that Ayato witnessed in the school festival was the real deal; it ht be said that on the Taijutsu side in particular, he overwhelmed Ayato

On the other hand, Cecily was also a a>, seemed to be quite concerned about her As far as she watched from several of Cecil’s match videos, Cecily see systehtly

“Those nasty twins too will surely be the saht them in the

And above all, their abilities are extreroup battles”

The Star Senjutsu, which Li ShenYun excelled at, could show that which does not exist as if it was there; and the Star Senjutsu, which Li ShenHua excelled at, could display so abilities of that kind should workbattles

“Quite troublesome”

“……Indeed”

Saya and Kirin agreed to it, too

『In theof dark horse, we can’t overlook Teath, hich they won through until the best eight the last ti their first participation, was the real deal, it’s so I want to by all means ascertain』

『All the members of Rusalka are busy with their activity as a rock band, and it doesn’t seeryps> I, too, as an OG of the sarown up!』

“……As for rown up that much”

To the words of the high-spirited Miko, Claudia put a hand on her cheek with a troubled face

“You’ve been strangely concerned about these girls since before Honestly, it doesn’t look to h…… at least I don’t think of them as a threat on the same level as those mentioned so far”

Ayato and company have also checked the favorite teams’ match videos as ryps>’s best 8, there was no doubt that Rusalka was also a strong enerowth into account, as Julis said, Ayato too somehow doubted whether they could be put on the saon

“At least regarding individual fighting strength, the one we must absolutely pay attention to is definitely the rank 3 Miluše”

Even if their ryps>, this year’s data of the Official Ranking Battles appeared on the market There, Rusalka’s members were defeated by Sylvia in a quite one-sidedly developuess their current specs to some extent

“Does it h, their co?”

Kirin nervously raised her hand, but Claudia slowly shook her head

“Well, there is that, too; but rather than those girls themselves, my concern is──”

“Their ogre luxes”

As if continuing Claudia’s words, Saya muttered

“Yes, that’s right”

“Hmm…… was it called <lyre-poros>?”

Tea re lux with the nainally one Ulm mana dite divided into five Therefore, it was an extrere lux that could not even activate unless five users with high cos appeared In other words, Rusalka used one ogre lux with five people

Ayato opened his own spaceand checked Rusalka’s data

Miluše used the guitar-type ogre lux <lyre poros-calliope=””>, Päivi used the floating drure lux <lyre poros-erato=””>, Monica used the bass-type ogre lux <lyre poros-re lux <lyre poros-polyhymnia=””>, and Mahulena used the space projection keyboard-type ogre lux <lyre poros-thalia=””>[1] All of theely complex names

“Judging frore luxes which manipulates sound, but……”

As they attacked with the vibration of sound waves and created sound barriers in the last <gryps>, they displayed abilities which h, prior to Rusalka, it seeathered, there was little inforly, too

“……”

Then, Claudia was pondering with a serious expression

“Claudia?”

“……No, I’ too much tiainst Let’s switch over”

“Ah, yes……”

It wasn’t like he wasn’t concerned about an ogre lux that Claudia was that concerned with so far, but it would certainly be no problem after it was settled that they would confront them

『Oh, yes! Speaking of Queen Veil, there are also interesting teauya, so it’s an academy I’d by all means like you to pay attention to in this tournament Especially……』

The topic of the live reporter and commentator has already moved to the topic of different teams

“Teauya, huh”

“What about that team?”

Julis turned a wondering face to Ayato’s casual mutter

“Ah, no, it’s just that I’ve an acquaintance there”

“……An acquaintance in Queen Veil, you say? Other than Sylvia Lyyneheym?”

Julis’ eyes becaathered on him, too

“Oops”, when he thought so, it was already late

“I have also checked about Teauya, but it is the first time I hear that there is a person like that What kind of person is she?”

Claudia, who smiled, quickly cut in

Though it was her usual s pressure

“No, it’s really just an acquaintance…… Renjouji Yuzuhi, she is a disciple in my house”

“A disciple? …… does this on Style?”

Kirin opened her eyes wide in surprise

“Although that’s true, it’s the branch faht? The Yatsuka’s one”

“……Oh, the one of archery”

To Ayato’s words, Saya clapped her hands as she recalled

“Do you know her too, Saya?”

“……No, I’ve just heard that there was such a dojo It seemed that Ayato’s father and Haru-nee occasionally showed up there though”

“Because for some reason, I don’t seem to be suited for archery, I don’t have that much connection with that dojo That’s why I’ve met Renjouji-chan only several times ere children But……”

As Ayato said up to there, he knitted his brows as he was troubled

“Unlike me, Renjouji-chan’s bow skill is first-class It was the case even in those days, so just thinking about how much she’s improved so far makes me shi+ver”

“So it’s to the extent ofyou say that much, huh……”

Julis too knitted her eyebrows deeper like Ayato

“I see…… Honestly, I thought that Sofia Fairclough was the only person we should pay attention to in Teaht”

“Fairclough? ……don’t tell that she’s Ernest-san’s?”

This time, it was Ayato’s turn to be surprised

“Yes, she is his little sister She is a talented girl to the extent that it’s said that her skill with a sword either equals that of the <holy knight=””>, who is her big brother…… orweakness……”
