“I will fight.”
“Hoh? So, you’re a swordsman from the West huh. Fufu, you’re quite an interesting opponent.”
Noticing Fana’s volunteering, the samurai girl smiled fearlessly.
“The participation fee is 10,000 yen.”
“Ah.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t have any money here…… Can I pay later?”
Right.
In the first place, we were trying to exchange money because we didn’t have any currency of this country.
“No, no, I can’t give you that kind of special treatment. I don’t even know if you can be trusted.”
The samurai girl shrugs her shoulders, implying she can’t do anything about it.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay you. From that 10 million.”
At Fana’s words, the samurai girl’s eyebrows twitched.
“……What do you mean by that?”
“I’m going to win, so I’m going to get 10 million. So you should not worry.”
The samurai girl chuckled faintly, but her eyes were clearly not smiling.
“You think you can definitely beat me? You’re underestimating me, aren’t you? I’ve already fought fifty battles like this against people who I’ve known for their skills, and I’ve never lost even once.”
“Maybe it’s just that your previous opponents were weak. I won’t lose for sure.”
“……hope you’re not all talk……”
The samurai girl’s whole body shook with rage. Samurai were known to have extremely high pride. It seems that the girl in front of us was no exception.
“In that case, I’ll offer you a special challenge! However, if you lose, you must pay me 10 million yen!!”
“Mm, that’s what I want.”
The crowd erupted in excitement at their exchange.
“This is going to be fun!”
“Eastern Swordsman vs. Western Swordsman! And they’re both beautiful girls!”
“Hey, Miss! Don’t give up! Show us your samurai spirit!”
Fana and the samurai girl faced each other in the center of a vacant lot, holding their swords.
It was a good turn of events for us.
After all, if Fana wins against that samurai girl, she will be able to get a lump sum of money at once. We no longer have to go out of our way to exchange for some money.
“My name is Karen. You should keep this name in your heart. It is the name of the samurai who will make you taste the bitterness of defeat.”
“Mm, I’m Fana. You’ll be the one crying when you lose.”
The two of them argued, sending sparks flying at each other.
“Well then, I’m going to give the signal!”
As one of the spectators said this, he picked up a stone that had fallen at his feet and hurled it in a bow toward the center of the two.
The moment it falls to the ground, the young swordsmen from the east and west kick the ground at the same time.
“Shiii!”
Karen, the samurai girl, unleashes a flash as she pulls her sword out of its scabbard. Perhaps because she slid the blade inside the scabbard, it was a slash with unbelievable speed.
“Fuu!”
However, the speed of Fana’s slashing is not to be outdone.
It accelerates super-quickly by using not only her arms but also her entire body, and if she were facing an average swordsman, she would have sliced her opponent’s torso into pieces in no time.
Gakiiiiiiiing!
The swords of the two clashed. The shock wave that ensued knocked several spectators upside down.
“Hoh~, you can do it huh! You blocked my sword. You weren’t just an overconfident little girl!”
“That was my line.”
From there, a fierce battle ensued.
Every time the two swords collided, a shockwave swept through the crowd.
“Come on, girls!”
“What an amazing fight! Who would have thought I’d see something like this on the street!”
“This is making me want to drink in the middle of the day!”
Even if they are blown away by the shockwave, they don’t seem to care and kept on cheering happily.
Maybe they’re used to this kind of sword fight.
“That Eastern girl is really good. She can go toe-to-toe with Fana. She’s putting up a large amount of money in a street fight for a reason.”
Anje was impressed.
“That’s true. But… fortunately, it looks like we’ll definitely be able to get 10 million yen.”
