I heard a small applause behind me. A woman wearing the uniform of the Adventurer Guild, stood behind Mio.
“Good show, even Mio will lose in three steps.”
“And for Nicholas, a warning letter will come to your home.”
“Next, Hello. Sweet girl. Where did you learn that sword technique?”
The aura that the woman emitted was terrifying, especially with her sharp gaze to the man behind me.
“Um, Mama..maybe it's a little excessive” replied Mio while holding the woman's arm.
Eh? The mama?
This woman is Mio's mother?
Mio gave her the lunch in her hand, but Mio's mother placed the lunch on the empty table beside her. Our eyes met and he smiled at me. It's just my feeling or it's a signal to ask me to fight.
“Sweet girl.. want to try competing with me?” said it.
“Eh?” I was very surprised by this sudden invitation. My feeling turned out to be right, it was a match invitation.
“M-Mama.. Um... not having lunch first?” Mio was a little awkward to separate the two of us. Until Mother Mio's hand took the sword from Mio's waist.
Isn't there a rule about fighting here?
Mio's mother moved towards me and disappeared suddenly.
Eh, disappeared?!
Where did Mio's mother go?
The feeling of my body becoming uneasy and feeling that someone was moving above me. I immediately weaved my sword upwards and a small flash of fire that occurred from the two rubbing swords was visible.
*prang!!
Mio's mother was right above me and attacked me!
It was fortunate that I followed the feeling of my body and fended off Mother Mio's attack. This is so weird. After I managed to fend off Mother Mio's attack, time slowed down and small glowing dots sprung up on Mother Mio's body.
Uh! I remember this technique. This was a combination of techniques from [Perfect Parry], [Counter Attack], and [Precision Attack]. The combination of these three techniques is to fend off and counterattack the enemy by giving an attack to the vital point of the enemy.
Uh, do I have to attack Mom Mio's vital point?
What would happen if Mio's mother was seriously injured?
Will Mio hate me?
I moved my body to dodge, giving the [Counter Attack] attack required a quick time and proper response. The time that was running around me turned normal, I missed my chance to launch a counterattack. Right now, our little fight is attracting more and more people especially among the adventurers and staff of the Adventurer Guild.
“Ti-No way!!”
“Who is this little girl! He could fend off this Old Demon attack!”
“Wooah! What a beautiful technique! I saw it this time!”
“Did this little girl come to register as an adventurer? The sword technique he possessed was extremely powerful and powerful.”
“This is just my feeling alone or the Sakura family flow attack has weakened?”
People around me whispered to each other. Hearing their voices, I felt a bad aura growing stronger. At a glance, I saw Mio who was walking backwards and preparing lunch from the lunch stock lying on an empty table. My hunch said that Mio's mother would seriously attack me.
“Bby too, sweet girl. What's your name?” Mio's mother slightly moved away from me.
“L-Lily..” I gave my first name without telling my father's noble status.
“Lily? Could it.. Oho! So it's like that! I heard the story about Lily-chan from my daughter and it seems like she really likes Lily-chan.”
Hearing that remark, I slightly endured my embarrassment.
W-What the hell is Mio saying! Mooo!
“How about this, Lily-chan. If Lily-chan can defeat me, I will give my daughter to you!!” mio's mother said with a loud tone. The words echoed on the ceiling of this building.
“HAAAA!!” the people around me were surprised by this.
I slightly glanced at Mio and our eyes met each other. Unlike Mio who usually looks calm, Mio looks at me with a red face.
Should I win this match?
“Sorry, but beating me isn't that easy!” Mio's mother moved back to attack me. This time, he disappeared and attacked me from all sides.
*Prank!
*prank!!!
Attack after attack rained down on me. Fortunately, I could feel Mother Mio's movements and the direction of the attack that was pointing at me. It's not that I don't want to strike back, if Mio's mother is seriously injured from my attack. I'm afraid that Mio will be angry with me.
*Prank!
Mio's mother stopped her attack.
“Reflex is pretty good, actually where is your weak point?” Mio's mother began to observe my appearance from top to bottom and then looked at Mio.
“Mio, good work!” said it.
Mio who heard this was silent and bowed at the table containing food.
“Lunch is waiting, shouldn't we end this little fight?” the aura around Mother Mio changed again. A distinctive fragrant aroma was smelled and the petals of cherry blossoms fell.
Eh? The cherry blossom petals?
Mio's mother attacked me without being seen. The sounds and movements he used were very different from before. I could feel hundreds of attacks being directed at me. Until the time that was running around me began to slow down and I was able to see the pattern of Mio's mother's attack.
This match will not end if I continue to survive apparently. I ignored Mother Mio's attack and moved using [Sakura Dash] to shorten the distance. When I was in front of Mio's mother's face, she smiled when she saw me. Our swords clashed very quickly and accidentally. My sword scratched Mother Mio's uniform.
That happened very quickly. The sight around me that seemed to slow down gave me time to do [Counter Attack] and [Precision Strike]. The attack I managed to field I used as a counterattack point.
I also attacked Mom Mio's vital point, but with a minimum strike that scratched her uniform.
Inside of me, I don't want to hurt someone who has a special relationship with me.
The counter-attack I did should have been enough to end this match because Mio's Mother's uniform was quite a mess. So, I decided to escape from the distance of Mio's mother's attack using [Sakura Vanish].
When Mother Mio's attack almost hit my body, in an instant my body disappeared and was surrounded by cherry blossom petals and then appeared behind Mother Mio. The sword I used started to point towards his neck and stopped at a safe point to not scratch it.
*tang!
“A-I gave up” said Ms. Mio.
Our little match ended with the sound of Mio's sword falling on the floor. I immediately put my sword into its sheath to finish our fight.
“G-What movement was that?” ask Mio's mother.
“Mio! Aren't you training Lily-chan too hard!” Mio's mother immediately met Mio and scolded her.
I immediately picked up Mio's sword that had fallen on the floor and rushed to return it.
“M-Mama. I didn't train Lily-sama.”
“What do you mean you didn't train him? That move.. Aren't you the one who taught him? And.. Where did you find such a talented girl? didn't you work as Maid at Marquess Rommel's residence?” it's just my feeling or Mio's mom is flirting with Mio.
“Y-Yes I did work there and.. Ekhem! I also don't know why Lily-sama can do our family sword technique.”
“Eh, Lily-sama? Who's that?” mother Mio asked confusedly.
“Mioo..” I stand beside Mio and hand over her sword.
“Ah, thank you, Lily-sama” Mio immediately took out her sword and put it back into the sword sheath on her waist.
“Lily-sama, sorry if this is a little late. The woman who thirsts for this battle experience is my mother. And Mama, introduce.this sweet and beautiful girl is Lily-sama.”.
“Lily-sama?? Why do you call her Lily-sama?” reply Mother Mio with a contrived tone.
“Because she is the young lady I served at the residence of Marquess Rommel” heard Mio's explanation.
The people around me put on pale faces.
“Didn't Mama already know?” ask Mio.
“Eh? What?” it turned out that Mio's mother was just playing a show to introduce me in public.
Uh, I'm a little embarrassed by this kind of introduction.
“And Lily-sama, I leave my daughter completely to Lily-sama.”
“Eh?” me and Mio put each other down.
“With this, I bless your relationship! Teehe.”
“M-Maaamaaa!!” reply Mio with a face filled with a red hue.
