V7C163 (2/2)

“Yeah, Sutchino. Let’s defeat that clown and repay them for what was done to elder brother Jofre and elder sister Elize.”

“Don’t phrase it as if those two died … wait, they’re not in the gallery too, where have they gone to?”

Sutchino looked at the audience but couldn’t find the figures of Jofre and Elize.

And then, the two of them slowly drew back.

“With no further ado, the king determining martial tournament, first match of the second round —”

“The king determining martial tournament, first match of the second round will now —”

“”Begin nya!””

The judges exclaimed.

“”I leave it to you! Milky!””

They said together and devoted themselves to cheer her on.

And thus, Milky, having left to fight on her own, had a nosebleed.

Since Milky couldn’t hear the whispers that happened between Julio and Sutchino, she had arbitrarily filled the conversation in her own head. The end result was her nosebleed.

” … Fufufu.”

An eerie smile appeared on her face as she wiped her nosebleed with her right thumb and used the blood to complete the talismans she prepared the night before.

“I can fight any number of people.”

She said as she threw the talismans.

Those talismans all turned to handsome men. But all of them looked very frail.

“Amazing nya! She summoned a lot of humans nya!”

“She summoned tons of humans nya! Amazing nya!”

Milky explained as the judges shouted excitedly.

“A high-level technique even within Magic Journalists — a secret technique born from the 「Shikigami Summon」 skill that materializes what is drawn inside the circle, 「2D Summon」. Are you sure you can face these many on your own?”

“Great! Milky.”

“Get em’ Milky!”

Julio and Sutchino yelled from behind Milky. Those were not yells for the activation of skills but merely to cheer her on.

“I see~, it might~ certainly be difficult on my own.”

After Pierre said that, he followed with a question.

“By the way, do you like~ to see lions dive through flaming hoops?”

” … ? I’m not interested.”

Then, the next instant — Pierre raised his hand forward,

“If you are not interested then, by all means~, please be interested! Time for the lion that failed to leap through the flaming hoop to shine~!”

A Flaming Lion appeared.

Milky’s complexion paled.

The Magic Journalist’s greatest weakness was that their weapon was made of paper.

In other words, its durability will fall once in contact with water and if it touches fire —

” … Sigh.”

Milky sighed.

The 2D handsome guys she spent all night making were burnt to a crisp in an instant.

Then, the next instant, that Flaming Lion wrapped around Milky.

“”Milky!””

Julio body tackled Milky who was wrapped in flames and they fell over as Sutchino took off his top and covered the two of them to douse the flame as he declared.

“It’s our loss! Don’t attack any further!”

Thus, the second match quickly reached a conclusion.

Pierre extracted a silk hat from out of nowhere and tossed it. That hat then transformed into the shape of a cane.

He used that cane and walked off the arena.

” … That guy would be our match opponent tomorrow … it doesn’t look like we would be able to deal with him using ordinary means.”

Haurvatat stared at the leaving Pierre and said.

Nevertheless, she knew that she must win.

All for the sake of saving her master Ichinojo.
