「I don’t mind if you insist that those are the results of your hunting. But, you should show proof.」
Alfred unsheathed his sword and swung it lightly.
Tension ran through our surroundings the mont he did so.
「I have no intention to let you off the hook after you insulted . Now I’m gonna reveal your true nature, self-proclaid saint, Pora. IT’S A DUEL!!」
He turned out to be far more dangerous than I expected.
Pora was glaring at Alfred, her lips ford “へ” and then turned around to look at .
「… Let’s kick his ass, Kanata-san.」
Maybe all of Alfred’s misplaced anger made her really irritated right now. I an, I’ve never actually seen Pora this angry before.
I nodded to her, and the reason was simply because there was nothing wrong with letting other people know that she was strong enough to beat Alfred.
I’ve reminded Pora again and again that I wanted to lay low for the sake of our own safety to prevent those people who were as strong as from keeping tabs on . But, I guess it wasn’t a problem if the other party was soone of Alfred’s caliber.
Even when considering the fact that we need a quick cast for my experint, pretending to be a B-rank adventurer would only hinder our plan.
As a result, we would only delay the ether experint.
I beckoned Pora over to .
Pora then ca closer to , enough to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on what I was about to tell her.
「Since this already happening, make sure that you go easy on him… but, won’t it make thing easier if we just apologized to him?」
「Oi, I can hear you.」
When I turned toward the place where the voice ca from, I failed to realize that Alfred had already co really close to Pora.
He was glaring at with bloodshot eyes.
「U, UWAAA!」
I unintentionally stepped back upon seeing his bloodshot eyes. Dammit, that was scary.
It seems that he ca along when I beckoned to Pora, thus ended up hearing telling Pora to go easy on him.
I would never have expected him to co obediently when I didn’t even call him and hear our conversation.
Alfred swung his sword.
His sword blade ran through the floor and the receptionist’s counter.
After leaving a beautiful cutting trace, I saw a wisp of smoke rise from the sword blade.
The onlookers made a stir upon seeing that scene.
「Going easy? How dare you to look down on .」
「… I understand. Let Pora be his opponent.」
Alfred revealed a nasty and cruel smile upon hearing Pora’s remark.
「But, it’s simply because Pora has had enough of your delusional bullsh*t about us. Even this matter of Ragnos actually has nothing to do with you since we only did this because we need money. In addition, how about accepting another condition?」
「What’s the condition?」
「Pora doesn’t really care no matter what you say about Pora. But, if Pora wins, you have to apologize to Kanata-san for calling him my follower when you know nothing about him! Kanata-san is the first human who treated Pora like a proper comrade after all.」
「You’re talking as if you’ve already won the fight. But it’s okay, I’ll accept your condition. Now follow .」
Alfred walked outside, leaving the guild.
Pora, whose lips were still ford into a “へ”, followed after him.
「P-Pora-san! I’m really happy that you’re angry for but, it’s okay, we should just ignore him…」
When I tried to go after Pora, Philia had already run past toward her.
「Philia too! Philia want to fight along with Pora!」
She spoke with sparkling eyes, seemingly misunderstanding this event as so sort of ga, or play.
I hurriedly rushed toward Philia, stopping her before she turned Alfred into minced at.
「S-Stop Philia-chan! You’re not very good at going easy after all!」
Things would get really ssy if she unleashed her 《Dream Sand》 in this kind of place.
Rather, we would to be in real deep sh*it.
Thus, I brought her along with to the outside of the adventurer guild building.
Pora and Alfred were already facing each other with onlookers standing a little bit away around them.
In fact, I also beca one of those onlookers.
Just how in the world did things turn so complicated like this.
「This isn’t a comfortable range for mage, right? It’s okay, I allow you to take so more distance. I don’t want to win against soone by taking the advantage of their weakness.」
The distance between the two of them was five tres apart.
A swordsman like Alfred would only need a single step to close in on Pora at such distance.
「Thanks for your concern. But, Pora refuses. Pora will be troubled if you make an excuse later on by saying that Pora won because Pora fought at the best distance for a mage.」
「You stupid girl.」
Both parties obviously beca more and more irritated as if they were ready to explode at any mont.
But then, Pora’s level was more than twice that of Alfred’s. That’s why even if she was unard and could only use one arm and leg… Pora will never lose.
「GO PORA GO~!」
Philia was cheering on Pora with an extrely bright smile on her face.
Alfred’s comrade, Sarah was entrusted with the job of being a referee.
Seeing her face, I knew that she didn’t want this to happen.
It seems she was yearning for Alfred and called his current situation as a child who was throwing a fit. That’s why she didn’t agree with this duel.
「… The match is decided when the other party has no intention to continue the duel. Well then, begin…」
Sarah raised her hand and dropped it down as a signal for the start of the battle.
Alfred leapt forward right away, closing in the distance between him and Pora.
He unsheathed his sharp sword and slashed Pora’s large cane.
「Spirit Magic, 6th-Rank; 《Fonsball(Fire Spirit Fox’s Fireball)》」
Pora stepped back, pointing her cane toward Alfred as she invoked her spirit magic.
And then, a magic circle deployed on the tip of Pora’s cane and a fireball as big as a human head fired from the magic circle.
《Foosball》was a magic that borrowed the power of the fire spirit who lived in the spirit world and gave birth to a fox spirit. The fireball will move on its own as if they had their own will, flying around to aid their summoner.
Carelessly exposing her real power would only turn her into the target of the upper echelons of this world. That’s why for my own safety too, I asked Pora to go easy on Alfred.
I an, it would be too suspicious if she won with an extrely powerful magic, or pure sheer difference between their level.
Maybe she wanted to keep Alfred in check with 《Fonsball》 and win by using another magic.
Alfred, whose attack was about to land on Pora, jumped to the side to dodge the 《Fonsball》.
But, the fireball was moving in between Alfred and Pora, as if separating them.
Pora was also moving as if she was hiding behind the fireball.
「What troubleso magic…! I see you’re definitely not a small fry.」
