” Will you always be by my side?”
”Do not show such an uneasy expression For that, I a the lullaby for you Even when you sleep, I shall be forever by your side”
”Forever really?”
”The lion never sleeps If you so desire, it can be for hundreds, even thousands of years”

Mei verse
With that verse sung, an azure radiance began expanding, and covered the whole chair which the Priestess was sitting on
shi+nryoku comes in the form of a wave
Similar to how the ripples spread from the point where a drop of water strikes the surface of the lake, shi+nryoku has the property that permeates outith its caster at the center point What Mei waves, and used it to penetrate outwards into space As a result, the speed of spreading of shi+nryoku increased by leaps and bounds
Sht tinier than snowflakes
Just like the petals dancing in the winds, the faint lights swirled around Leon and Run, and brought about a gentle breeze Meimel's mock barriers then expanded over an area of over a ten meters radius
—At the saht
Run, with a slight sht at Leon
She ht line without any excessive irl just in her teenage years However, in the eyes of the exceptional Leon, her speed seemed to be on the slow side
In contrast, Leon did not even move
The distance between the tere at ten ht meters seven, six five meters
At then, Leon moved - just when Y the greatsword that is of the saht
The only thing seen was a flash of the azure blade, after which the howls of the wind followed
Despite its weight being so heavy that even a grownof the sword still exceeded the speed of sound
A slash that a nor towards Run
—don
In the next instant, the body of the girl vanished
Vanished? Leon lifted his head Yht
At the ceiling, about sevenupside down on its surface The exceptional ether with her speed of response, had enabled Run to perform actions that are normally deemed impossible to a typical person
Leon had landed in an unfavorable posture due to his ht, and pounced onto the swords
However, within the short tiround, Leon had already positioned his blade vertically Ai froreat sword upwards
”Ha!”
A slash co from the bottom
The reflexes of a hue his direction while in e
However, that coirl At the instance where her fist and the swords crossed path, she twisted her body inhard on the body of the sword
Kan, the blade of the sword, which is tougher than e force
Predicting that Leon would not let go of his sword, Run sprang off the sword and enerated by the spin, she aimed her heel at Leon's head - everyone could see that the attack could not be dodged
Even so, the Sennenshi+ holding his sas hardly flustered Knowing that he would nothis hilt horizontally in order to parry away the Run's inco heels
Zaa - piercing sounds of friction and burns was generated Under the lights, silver sparks flew about
”That's the first time I have seen that Is that a new move?”
While swaying his fringes, Leon stabbed his great sword onto the ground
Due to the impact from the hilt, Run's heels had shi+fted considerably froed to shave off a few strands of Leon's fringe, before she landed back onto the metal plates on the floor
” Mmm - that move had worked flawlessly on my subordinates every time It looked like there is still spaces for improvements”
Upon returning to the ground, the girl gave a troubled expression
”It would be better if you skipped the soht for a kick”
”You think so too? I have alish perforracefully, before proceeding with a kitty-kick Don't you think that is much cooler?”
”That is a heel drop, rather than a cat-kick”
”Mmm, wasn't it cute?”
Leon crossed his arms, while Run looked at him and answered cheerfully
”Well, I a it once Well then, it is about tiet serious”
Run stopped s, and removed her jacket All that is left was a sports vest
At the sa just noas too quick for Ymy to make much out of it with her naked eyes However, that was just war up for two Sennenshi+
A tense feeling lingered in the static airs of the scene Then-
”Oi, Leon Hurry up and put on your stance What's wrong with you?”
The girl had first noticed the abnor reat sword in his hands, while notan inch
” Can't do As expected, I a this today”
With that, the blade in Leon's hands shattered into tiny pieces After watching the frozen azure crystalsirl
”Oi oi! Did you eat so?”
”I have always maintained myself in the best condition”
”If so, why-”
” I aht of a weird person all of the sudden”
Leon focused his sight onto the hilt that had just lost its blade
”A weird person?”
