” — I’m the first?”

Malina asked in shock.

“Malina has that skill so you are skilled at tricks right? Don’t worry, you can surrender if you think you’re going to lose. The Nyanto Six Stars aren’t that strong so Stella, Haurvatat and I will definitely not lose.”

And Kanon added on in her heart.

(By any chance if Stella or Haurvatat loses, as long as we don’t discard Norn, we would need Malina’s win. Under such pressure, that girl won’t be able to demonstrate her full ability.)

That way of thinking could be considered to be overprotective but she believed that it had the highest chance of winning.

“Then I’ll submit it nya.”

“Ah, wait a minute. I’ll submit the participation sheet. Stella and Norn, please nurse Haurvatat. Malina looks like she’s about to collapse from nerves so I want to let her walk a little and I have confirmed the location of the tournament headquarters in the afternoon. Come, Malina, get yourself together.”

Kanon said as she took the participant sheet, made the nervous Malina stand and walked towards the tournament headquarters.

Noon the next day.

The four team leaders of the teams participating in the tournament, the four Cat Siths, walked up the stage and made an oath.

Among them, only Mikke’s expression — his fur condition wasn’t looking good. He would probably have to give up from the start.

Nevertheless, Haurvatat and the others wanted him to try his best and compete.

Since they could not get their hands on information on the opponent team. They heard about Prince Maru, in other words, Stella’s brother, from Stella.

About him being the best Swordsman among the Cat Sith. But the ability of the people Maru brought was unknown.

(Valf isn’t around … well, he’s probably resting since he hates morning.)

Kanon pondered while keeping wary of her surroundings.

Vampires are weak in the morning and afternoon after all.

And once the opening ceremony was over, the tournament had finally begun.

As the first participant, Marina with her mask on and her Wind Bow stepped into the center of the arena.

And faced one of the Nyanto Six Stars — Nyai.

The fight to determine the new Cat Sith King has finally begun.
