Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 1076
#Side Story 45. The Dragon Bride competing for love (7)
* * *
The World’s Best Bride Competition is a winner-takes-all competition to win time with Limon.
Naturally, the determination of the brides who participated in this competition was by no means light.
Brides who were not prepared to that degree from the beginning or who had no desire to compete did not participate at all, like Yu Na-kyung and Anastasia.
But at this moment.
The Fairy Queen realized.
Even though they fought so fiercely, in the end it was just a competition for them.
Just as no athlete participates in a sports competition, no matter how large the reward, being prepared to die if they lose or to kill their opponent to win.
…until now.
But unfortunately things have changed.
The chilling air.
Tense tension.
Above all, there is a subtle atmosphere felt not only by the contestants but also by the brides who were just observing.
In fact, even the Fairy Queen, who had lived for such a long time, had no choice but to swallow dry saliva.
…What’s more so is that she too is feeling complicated emotions that are difficult to put into words.
“Really, we are so unlucky.”
That was why.
A silver-haired girl on the off-stage.
The reason why Catherine sighed softly.
Is it because she also heard Limon’s mutterings through the broadcast while preparing for the next match?
Of course, that was also a reason.
But there are two biggest reasons why she can’t help but blame her own bad luck.
“You think so too, Ainsha?”
“…I admit it. The bracket is the worst. “Fate has abandoned me.”
“Who said not? “Do you really think you would have filed a claim against the organizers if you weren’t the final person and supervisor of this competition?”
A white-haired girl standing on the other side of Catherine grumbled.
Ainsha nodded with an expressionless face.
Thanks to the privilege of developing this time and mind room, the two girls are already guaranteed a certain amount of time regardless of whether they win or lose the match.
The fact that they faced each other from the first match was enough to blame them for their bad luck.
Even if you win this match, your next opponent will be the worst.
Therefore, Catherine, who had been murmuring, finally smiled brightly at her younger brother after a while.
“Don’t worry though, Ainsha. “This girl will beat everyone, whether it’s Charlotte or anyone else, and she will win.”
“…I want to know that you are sincere.”
“Of course I’m serious!”
Catherine answered confidently.
It wasn’t a bluff.
If the Golden Dragon Princess has always occupied the strongest position in the Seven Dragons, the only one who has been compared to them is the Silver Dragon Princess.
Even with only half of his blood, he was able to engage in a close battle even against the Sword Master who was a sword master.
Moreover, she was the queen of silver dragons who had perfected the true blood of a dragon.
In fact, she was one of the strong candidates for winning this competition, just as much as Charlotte and Rose.
This is especially true considering that although she is at a disadvantage in long-term battles due to the high consumption of psionics, she is stronger than anyone else in short-term battles.
Above all….
“This time and the right to use the room of the heart are important, but since your brother’s position as ‘true friend’ is at stake in this match, you can never lose, right?”
A smiling face.
But eyes that don’t smile.
Catherine’s words, which were filled with sharp sincerity instead of the lightness and playfulness she always contained, made the already heavy air even colder.
It was natural.
Until now, Limon’s brides were basically equal to each other and had no particular hierarchical relationship.
Even the princesses who hold the hegemony of the world.
Even the disciples who are sword masters.
Even the noblest fairies.
Of course, it was difficult to determine the order of succession in many ways as everyone was an absolute being and had a complicated relationship with Limon.
Because Limon didn’t want it.
Be it cronyism or hierarchy.
If I was greedy for something like that and got out of Limon’s sight, it would just be a false statement.
But what if Limon really wants to sort out the ranks among the priests at this point?
And what if, depending on the outcome of this competition, you can officially become his first bride?
It was an opportunity I could never give up.
This is especially true for princesses who are born with the nature of a dragon and have an innate desire to be exclusive.
“That’s right. “I agree.”
“Ainsha, you too, right? So, cheer hard after you surrender. I’m sure this girl will win and make you the second…”
“In that sense, Catherine.”
“huh?”
That was why.
I was nodding my head calmly.
Ainsha suddenly opened her mouth.
After looking at Catherine with an expressionless face as always, who was wondering if she had anything to say.
Grinning.
The white-haired girl laughed.
Absolutely bright, cheerful and brilliant.
“I like you ♥”
“…he?”
Is it because of that smile that is so beautiful that even the goddess of beauty is enchanted?
Or was it because of the words that I had never imagined in my life that rang into my ears along with that smile?
Or is it a combination of the two?
Like an elk facing the light of an oncoming 8-ton truck.
After blinking blankly.
Catherine is. It’s broken.
“swimming? to? cadet? ah?”
There seems to be no distinction between dreams and reality.
Or like the fuse in your brain has blown.
Ainsha took a step towards Catherine, who froze and made a vague sound.
And then I approached her lightly.
With a brighter smile.
It’s like he’s trying to hug his sister.
Quietly stretch out your hand….
『Seventy-two species of martial arts,
twelve seasons of courage, seventy-two species of martial arts, ten dragon strikes,
iron ball, fairy divine power, female god’s power,
female god’s power
!
“Kkuek…!”
It was just a moment.
Catherine was completely defenseless when she was struck in the solar plexus by a powerful psionic fist.
With a huge noise like a drum exploding, he was thrown backwards and ended up falling outside the non-stage.
Yuna Kyung too.
Even the Fairy Queen.
The other princesses in the waiting room.
Everyone was staring at the scene with their mouths wide open or speechless.
Anastasia, who was watching the referee, belatedly approached Catherine, who had fallen off the stage.
And the amulet of double power has already been activated.
For some reason, even though her nose was bleeding, she died with a happy expression… No, after checking the condition of Catherine, who had fainted, she spoke calmly.
“It is impossible for Silver Dragon Lord to continue his military service, and White Dragon Lord wins by leaving unarmed.”
Despite that declaration, there is still… or rather, a heavier silence than before descending on the non-stage.
Okay.
It seems like the smile from before was a hallucination.
The white-haired girl, who returned to her expressionless face as always, opened her mouth bluntly.
“The world of competition is cruel. The strong do not win. “The one who wins is strong.”
“….”
“So leave Catherine’s care to me and rest in peace.”
It seems like such a vain victory.
The white-haired girl, who spoke calmly like an iron-blooded warrior who had to forsake her flesh and blood for the greater good, glanced at the black-haired girl and then disappeared into the waiting room.
After the silver-haired maid hurriedly rushed over and disappeared with the silver-haired girl wrapped around her.
The poor Fairy Queen and Fairy Princess couldn’t help but blush as they looked at the non-stage, where competition was now normalized, let alone fair and square.
* * *
It’s boring.
she was thinking
Either the Absolute or the resurrected dragon.
After all, it wasn’t his opponent.
That’s why I didn’t even watch the other games and just spent my time dozing off.
But there was only one person she was wary of.
-Sister female.
I think he’s definitely dead.
A female with a strange appetite who always eats only potatoes was brought back by her male teacher.
I could sense with my animal instincts, not just my sword master’s intuition, that the fight with her would not be easy.
Actually the fourth match.
The sword fight with her was fierce.
To the extent that she felt joy for the first time in a long time, even though she was mostly indifferent outside of her dreams when she wasn’t with him.
But in the end, it was she who won.
It was natural.
Just as a turtle cannot defeat a wild beast.
As long as he could only defend, he was no match for her, no matter how much he was a sword master.
The rest was just sitting down and eating grilled meat.
She was able to win this competition just by informing the other females about the topic.
And after being patted on the head by my male teacher and praised, saying that she was my female.
Happy days.
It has begun.
With the authority of the winner, I made love to him every day without having to worry about other females.
In my spare time, I would grill and eat meat from hunting together, take walks here and there, or fall asleep with my arm resting on his arm.
However, it did not monopolize him.
Sometimes, when he was sleepy or satisfied, he was given over to other females.
Because she was a generous alpha female.
Of course, in the end, it was she who received the most love from him.
It was probably thanks to that.
―What was the first child you had?
It was a truly amazing experience.
My stomach, which was always thin, swelled little by little, a different heartbeat that I could feel because I was a Sword Master, and the pain of giving birth to life.
And it was a happy experience too.
Holding the child she gave birth to after suffering, breastfeeding her child every time she cried, carrying her child around, running around with her, and then sleeping with her child in her arms.
It was so fun and new.
That’s why I keep having children.
Raising him and teaching him to hunt.
Buried in the soft scent of flowers.
So she….
…….
….
Sreuk.
“Junior Suri, you still really like dreams.”
quietly.
By moving one hand.
He was stroking the head of an Indian girl who was fast asleep on his lap.
Have a gentle smile.
“I’ve told you for a long time that if you can’t clearly distinguish between dreams and reality, you could fall into this loophole.”
“….”
“Ah, was this about another world?”
Then it can’t be helped.
She corrected herself and smiled.
And then he looked at the girl with kind eyes, like an older sister or mother taking care of her cute younger sibling.
He moved the hand that was stroking his head.
Click.
Until he gently lifted the necklace hanging around his neck and pulled it out.
The girl didn’t wake up.
I was just immersed in a happy dream.
It was natural. Because it wasn’t just a dream that the girl was into right now.
『The sword of drunken moon dreams. Hwaye
醉中月 夢中劍 花藝
Get drunk from a dream and fall asleep again
夢中醉 再睡』
I raised her myself.
After sparring countless times.
We practiced sword medicine together for a long time.
So that the girl who caught exactly the loophole in the swordsmanship that she was able to master because she was in a parallel world doesn’t wake up.
She carefully took care of the necklace and opened her mouth in a soft voice.
“Can you please sentence junior Asha?”
“…Sister Geomhwa’s victory comes due to Sister Geomryeong’s inability to continue the battle and the loss of the amulet.”
“Hehe, I feel sorry for my junior.”
The moment the girl unfolded her sword.
Unfold the sword that acts as a counter.
Rather, he placed his own sword on top of her sword and returned it to her, causing her to fall into sleep….
A single union.
With just one move, he subdued the sword spirit without a single wound.
A stronger candidate to win than anyone else.
A woman whose very existence is a violation.
“But I can’t help it.”
Blackened Joan of Arc.
The guardian saint of the Sword Tower ended her sentence with a gentle smile, as always.
“―I have waited too long to give up my time with you, teacher.”
