(EP-80.2) Fight #6
080 – Fight Of The Tigers #6
“Anyway, Lady Lioness, it just so happens that I’m on my way to see your spar. Would you like to go together?”
“Fine, let’s go. I’ve warmed up enough.”
Seureureu.
Probably because of her morning jog, but Elga was dripping… with sweat.
As Elga came closer to my side, I got a whiff of her refreshing apple-like scent. Though, Mirna didn’t approve of Elga closing in.
“Don’t you think the parasol’s become cramped?”
Mirna didn’t like that she was getting less space under the parasol due to Elga.
“Theo Gospel, come closer.”
“Yes.”
Seeing me cling to Mirna’s side more, Elga clicked her tongue.
“I don’t plan on getting in.”
I thought Elga was going to get upset when she said this.
“So, Theo Gospel, what compelled you to propose to this gloomy girl? Please, do tell.”
“…….”
This Elga… Was she trying to make fun of me? Before I could even answer, Mirna already did so with her laugh — hu hu hu.
“Isn’t it natural to be courting someone as perfect as I am? Well, I guess someone like Lady Lioness wouldn’t know how the relationship between a man and woman goes~.”
“… You’re saying I don’t know anything about dating?”
“Lady Liones, it’s no secret that you turned down all the men who tried to court you. Though, they were a bunch of old men, so I could understand.”
“Geueu….”
From what I’d observed, Elga was not good at arguments. Hence why, right now, she was receiving quite the jabs from Mirna.
So why did she ask Mirna a question like that? Was it the same as when a woman asked her boyfriend what kind of girl his ex was?
Mirna then continued.
“Theo Gospel, what makes me attractive to young and healthy gentlemen? Let Lady Lioness know. She might learn a thing or two from it.”
“That….”
“Yes, tell me, Theo Gospel~. I also want to know~. Tell me what makes Lady Mirna, who has barely held hands with a man, attractive~?”
… Did I really have to answer?
But Mirna would get angry if I didn’t. Elga knew my situation, she would understand, right?
And so, I talked about Mirna’s ‘charm’.
“That…. Mirna-nim has beautiful silver hair and jewel-like eyes as red as rubies. She’s also very intelligent and fluent in ancient languages….”
“Alright, stop it. I can’t stand that! *Vomit-“
In the end, Elgar’s face crumpled, seemingly disgusted.
I could see that Elga’s mood had really deteriorated, yet Mirna continued to haughtily laugh without care.
“Lady Lioness is far from me, so it doesn’t seem to be helping, does it?”
“… You know, I noticed this a while ago. Are you just trying to pick a fight?”
“Is that what it feels like? You don’t seem to have much composure, Lady Lioness~.”
Udduk-.
Elga’s steps suddenly stopped. She then rummaged through her sweatshirt pockets and threw something at Mirna.
Flutter-.
It was a white handkerchief, which could only mean one thing.
“Mirna Draco, you ƅitch, I challenge you to a duel!”
* * *
Single-digit rankers needed to prove their skills and had to fight other single-digit rankers once a week or, at least, once a month.
Today, Elga was going to spar against the 4th place ranker.
However, the situation got twisted, and it became a duel between Elga and Mirna instead.
━A fight between 5th and 6th place?
━It’s been a while since I saw a real match, and not some weird word chain game.
A crowd of spectators had already formed.
People flocked from everywhere like fleeting clouds to witness the battle of single-digit rankers. Furthermore, it was a fight between the Lioness’ and Draco’s, representing two famous rivaling families.
━For today’s lecture on sparring history, we are going to be watching a fight. Everyone, remember to make a report afterwards.
It wasn’t only the students present. There were also professors and several faculty members that showed interest in this fight. At this point, no one could stop this mess…
“Lady Mirna, will you be okay?”
I once again asked Mirna, who had asked me to escort her.
Mirna was a necromancer, and now she didn’t have her powerful lich and father, Aleister Draco, nor did she have the Dragoons of the Draco family.
It was normal for me to question if Mirna could fight and win against Elga.
Hearing this, Mirna chuckled.
“I’m going to show you my skills. So, are you ready?”
In response to Mirna’s question, I handed her a sword.
Shingg-.
With that, the blade was drawn.
Mirna and a sword. It was a weird combination. At this time, Mirna took out something from her pocket and attached it to the blade.
It was a talisman.
“The Draco Family is more than just a place for the dead. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to conquer the East.”
Meanwhile, Elga was holding her giant halberd towards Mirna.
Bzzt, bzzztzzt-. The atmosphere between the two made my sensitive fairy skin tingle. Professor Stella, who would be moderating the match, sighed after seeing such a situation.
“You are no different from your fathers… Why do I always have to stop Lioness and Draco from fighting?”
Stella Belhawk’s question made me think of something. So, I turned my attention away from the two heated women for a moment and quietly asked.
“Do you know their fathers, Lord Reinhardt or Lord Aleister?”
“I know them and was friends with them. We were in the same club. It’s been 30 years now.”
Was there such a setting?
No, it didn’t matter. In fact, this was good. If Stella knew Reinhardt and Aleister, she would know about ‘him’ too.
Ignoring the two women that were about to duke it out, I secretly asked Stella in a voice only she could hear.
“Then, do you happen to know someone named Isaiah?”
