Chapter 301: From Maria’s Voice I Can Tell She Is Young and Seems Erotic. In the Confusion of the Match I Will at Least Grope Her Breasts

The opponent is a female knight.

If I speak my true feelings I want her crotch armor so small pubic hair might be visible and a breastplate with lower breasts and side breasts overflowing everywhere with her navel fully exposed but Maria is covering her whole body in armor.

With my amateur swordsmanship and a used sword destroying armor will probably not be easy.

But like a female character in a fighting game the opponent will probably scream kyaa kyaa so I will enjoy that.

Alright. I decided. The theme of this fight is not touching erotic but listening erotic.

I who can get an erection from erotic ASMR have no blind spots.

The opponent’s skill manipulates things that have touched shadow. The moment my shadow is touched my defeat is confirmed but when we were at Glans Iria and I prepared countermeasures together.

Is it around 3 or 4 in the afternoon now?

Shadows stretch east-northeast. In other words my shadow stretches toward Maria’s front right so I am overwhelmingly at a disadvantage.

From the center of the arena the fences used in the mounted lance matches have been removed.

There we confront each other with about five meters of distance.

Already at the starting position I am at a disadvantage. If Maria takes a few steps forward-right from her perspective it is already my shadow.

I am right-handed and hold the sword in my right hand so stopping Maria’s action of advancing left is difficult.

"Please treat me well."

"Oh my oh my. My opponent is quite the cute boy. Ufufu. I will dote on you. I will make you dance in the palm of my hand."

Does my voice sound that young?

I am wearing a helmet so she should not be able to see my face but...

No, that does not matter.

What is important is that Maria’s voice is youthful and more erotic than I expected.

It is exactly the voice and way of speaking of a female math teacher wearing triangular glasses. Even though the thighs in 20-denier black stockings stretching from a tight mini are erotic she sits at the teacher’s desk...!

The edge of the teacher’s desk bites into her thighs. Is that not mega erotic. I see. This one is the type of woman whose thighs are more erotic than her panties.

Denier number preference differs by person but I like around 20 denier where white panties show through clearly.

...This is bad!

The match has not even started yet and I was made to have erotic delusions from voice alone.

Maria... This one can do it...!

I cannot tell age or face because she is wearing armor but this I can expect.

From the shape of the armor I can tell she has quite large breasts. It should have been made custom to match her body type. There is no way only the armor chest is large and the actual breasts are small.

If I consider she is wearing thick clothes layered to cushion impact her body should be slimmer than the impression from the armor and relatively her breasts should be larger.

Imagine. Looking at the armor imagine her naked...!

...!

I messed up.

I just decided today’s theme is listening erotic and I was drawn to breasts!

Maria, this one, to fascinate me this far she is quite the schemer!

"Sahar. Amazing fighting spirit. Even through the armor I can tell you are observing me as if licking my whole body so you do not miss even a little of my movement. You inferred my real ability and strengthened your caution?"

"Fufufu. If you think so then think so."

Nn?

What is that...?

In the center of the armor chest there is something like a vertical split line and a clasp like the front hook of a bra is attached.

Is it mere decoration?

Don’t tell me that armor is not split into front parts and back parts in two but has a structure where the chest opens paka left and right?

In other words if by some chance I destroy that clasp her breasts go barun?

Don’t tell me the instant I approach intending to touch her breasts she touches my shadow, manipulates me, and my defeat is confirmed?

This is bad. Even knowing it is a trap I will definitely lose...!

The worst development is having my body’s freedom taken before I can even touch.

If I am going to lose anyway the instant Maria exposes her breasts I will grope them before my freedom is taken!

No, I will dive in face first.

If I claim I stuck close so my shadow would not be touched then erotic acts are also legal!

"Begin!"

Giche signaled the start of the match and the spectators raised voices of expectation and clapped.

To reduce the area of my own shadow even a little I set the shield I am not used to handling on the ground.

During that Maria waited without doing anything. Probably for chivalrous reasons.

Zawa...

A small stir occurred in the venue.

"...Sahar. Facing me who uses twin swords why do you set down your shield?"

The tone of a tight-mini female math teacher asking which part of the problem you do not understand.

"Kukukuku. You understand right?"

"...I do not understand."

"If you intend to play dumb that is fine."

"...?"

"I will tell you. More than math equations I am extremely interested in extracurricular lessons."

"I do not really understand but you are good at math huh? Fufu. I like smart men more than rugged warriors who are only unsophisticated."

Maria has two swords and I have only one.

At a glance it is disadvantageous but considering skills this is the correct answer.

Maria slowly takes one step forward.

I take one step back and stay wary of the skill.

Maria takes one step forward again.

I also take one step back and maintain the distance.

At the quiet start the spectators also gradually become quiet.

It is not that they have gone cold. Everyone probably understands the meaning of the bargaining between Maria and me.

Maria is one of the captains of the twelve regular knight orders that represent the country and her skill is widely known. Displaying her skill in a swordsmanship match is probably not the first time either. So the audience knows.

That victory or defeat is decided by whether shadow is touched.

So even just Maria and I slowly maintaining interval and moving east creates tension.

Su.

Maria takes one step forward in a stance with her left sword in front.

I also take one step back and maintain the distance.

Sa!

Maria raised her left sword small as if checking.

Sasa!

I take one more step back.

I keep backing up but this is how I measure the opponent’s moving speed and the skill’s range.

"Sahar. Are you scared of me? Or is it your first time fighting a knight order captain and you are frightened?"

"Ah. I am scared. I prepared countermeasures but I do not know if they will work on your skill."

"Eh? Skill countermeasures?"

"Ah."

"Why?"

"The moment shadow is touched defeat is decided so of course I prepared countermeasures."

"Even though use of my skill is prohibited?"

"Eh?"

"We cannot keep standing and talking. I will pretend to lock blades okay? Cut in strongly from above."

"A-ah. Got it."

The possibility Maria is deceiving me with speechcraft and will use the skill is not zero but I do not want to doubt a woman. I follow Maria’s words.

"Here I go! Taaaaaaaaah!"

"Haa!"

Gakin!

The blow I swung down from above Maria received by crossing her twin swords.

While pushing and pulling moderately, taking one step forward or one step back, we talk in small voices.

"Eeto, is this fine?"

"Yes. Did you really not know that some knights’ skills became prohibited from use?"

"Unn."

"There has been an ominous demonic presence in the royal capital for a while so security has been strengthened and as part of that my skill that can manipulate the opponent by touching shadow was judged inappropriate to use before the king. You have not heard?"

"...I have not heard."

Gugugugugu.

We push swords and our faces approach.

I cannot see Maria’s face but there is some good smell like mint.

"...I see. General Dragunov. That man forgot to tell you."

"That bearded bastard... Forget telling, just before I entered earlier he suddenly struck my back hard. It hurt normally."

"Oh my. That is a misfortune. We have also been made to drink boiling water by that man. ...Without turning your face look at the king’s tent."

"Nn?"

"The supreme magician Etranger-sama is there right?"

In the tent at the north center there is an old man who seems to be the king, an auntie who seems to be the queen (clearly several decades younger than the old man. Erotic old man, marrying a young girl, damn), Giche who is hosting, two girls who seem to be taking care of daily needs, and also an old man standing diagonally behind the king.

I only know Giche’s face but by process of elimination that old man is Etranger I suppose.

"So that the power of wide-area magic and range-attack skills does not reach, Etranger-sama has put up a barrier to protect the king and royalty. Behind the tent court magicians are standing by making the barrier even stronger."

Hey hey, protect the spectator guests too.

But right above that strong barrier a large monitor like a movie screen is out and those guys have not noticed at all. Is Lucia’s magic just too amazing and it is not that their skill is low.

That aside the ones watching the match in the subspace spectator seats right now are Esty-san, Fullru, Iferaski, Ranjou, Kaka, and Pipi who are not participating in the swordsmanship matches but it is a lineup that conversation does not bounce with.

I hope it has not become awkward.
