I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Oh my! Princess Leon Mishully's attack was deflected, that's unbelievable! But it also shows that Biscotti's hero is not easy to deal with. But what kind of battle will we see next? Let's wait and see."

Takatsuki Nanami, who had been blown away, quickly got up, took a few steps back, and kept a certain distance from Yuhaka, saying:

"Wow...that's amazing! There's practically no way to get close. But why does this wind look so familiar?"

"Nanami, are you alright?"

Riding a chocobo-like creature, Leon-Michele approached Takatsuki Nanami and asked her this question. Takatsuki Nanami shook her head at Leon-Michele and said:

"I'm fine, it's just that my clothes are a bit tattered."

As she spoke, Takatsuki Nanami tugged at her somewhat tattered clothes. Although they weren't completely unwearable, she estimated that they would burst open if she took two or three more attacks.

By the way, if the hero's armor is destroyed, they are considered eliminated and cannot return to the battlefield until they change their clothes.

Meanwhile, Eclair, who had rushed over from a distance, looked at her short hero and said to him:

"Hey! Hero, are you alright?!"

Unharmed, Yuhaka stared at Eclair with an "OwO?" expression, seemingly not understanding what Eclair was saying. Seeing Yuhaka's expression, Eclair's eye twitched slightly, and she said:

"Hmm...it seems like nothing's wrong..."

Chapter 197 [Fierce Battle (Part 2)]

In one of the arenas, the hero [Yohaka] from the Biscotti faction and [Eclair], the captain of the Biscotti Knights' Mischiore's personal guard, are confronting the hero [Takatsuki Nanami] from the Garret Lions faction and [Leon Michele], the lord of a neighboring country of the Garret Lions.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down the foreheads of Nanami Takatsuki, the hero of the Garrett Lions, and Leon Michele. To Acreel, these two were people she couldn't defeat, which troubled her. Although she had come to help her country's hero, she hadn't come to be a hindrance!

Yuhaka, however, looked at Eclair with a puzzled expression and said to her:

"Who?"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's questioning words, Eclair almost fainted. It turned out that this hero didn't even recognize her!

After Acrell introduced herself to Yuhaka (the enemy was offline...), Yuhaka, upon learning that Acrell was on his side, gave her a bear hug and rubbed against her chest. This made Acrell blush, and she said to Yuhaka:

"What are you doing?!"

Yuhaka tilted his little head up, looked at Eclair with a puzzled expression, and said to Eclair:

"Leave behind, the wonderful scent, the mark."

"what!?"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Eclair looked completely bewildered. What? Leaving her scent? Is this how people from another world greet each other?

Ekreil seemed completely bewildered by this and couldn't keep up with Yhaka's way of thinking.

"I said, are you still playing any games there?"

With a playful smile on her face, Leon Mishully looked at Yohaka and Eclair and said this, clearly finding Yohaka's behavior somewhat cute.

Takatsuki Nanami, on the other hand, had a strange expression on her face, as if she had thought of something.

Are you a puppy or a kitten?

After Eclair removed the Eughaka from her body and placed it aside, she said to Eughaka:

"Listen up, little hero!"

"A short, brave hero (?ω?｀？)?"

Instead of addressing Yuhaka's puzzled expression, Eclair ignored Yuhaka's words and spoke to him:

"Be careful. Although I don't know how strong you are, the lord of the Garrett Lion Kingdom, Princess Leon, and the hero Takatsuki Nanami are no less powerful. Don't blame me if you underestimate them and end up crying!"

“( ? ?ω?? )? Mmm mmm!” (Nods)

Not far away, Takatsuki Nanami felt a little embarrassed when she heard Eclair's words. After all, she had been the one being dominated by Yuhaka before, and Eclair's words made Takatsuki Nanami feel rather ashamed.

..............................

In the ensuing battle, Yuhaka showed Eclair what it meant to fight two opponents at once. Yuhaka, wielding a massive knight's lance and a huge tower shield that could cover his entire body, unleashed his attacks on Leonmicheli.

Leon Michele, on the other hand, seemed a bit annoyed, because Yuhaka's attack, which was shrouded in an unknown hurricane barrier, made it difficult for anyone to get close.

Even ranged attacks are difficult to hit Yhaka, not to mention that Yhaka is holding a shield that is almost as big as her. Even if Leon Mishully's attack breaks through Yhaka's hurricane barrier, Yhaka will block the attack with her shield.

At this moment, Leon Michele finally understood how Takatsuki Nanami felt. It was an incredibly uncomfortable feeling, like biting a turtle that had its head hunched over. It was useless in close combat and useless in long-range attacks. It was disgusting!

During her battle with Takatsuki Nanami, Eclair was incredibly pleased to see Yuhaka dominating Leonmischi. Could it be that the hero Her Highness found is an extremely powerful warrior?!

Meanwhile, Leon Michele, who was fighting Yhaka, was getting quite annoyed by Yhaka's incessant hurricane barrier.

"Damn it, this is the first time I've ever seen such a difficult Emblem Technique (but it isn't). It's difficult to deal with in both melee and ranged combat..."

Upon hearing Leonmishri's words, Yuhaka peeked out from behind his shield, glanced at Leonmishri outside, and then quickly retreated. Leonmishri brandished her massive one-handed axe and said to Yuhaka:

"However, is there still such a defense beneath your feet?"

As she spoke, Leon Mishueri raised her one-handed axe high, a huge emblem appearing behind her. Radiant energy began to swirl around her as she swung it down at the ground, instantly creating an emblem on the ground and shouting:

"Lion King - Flame Array!"

As soon as Leon Mishully finished speaking, Yuhaka sensed an abnormal flow of high temperature underground and immediately jumped away. Just as Yuhaka left, a burst of fire erupted from where Yuhaka had just stood. After sensing a large amount of high temperature flowing around him, Yuhaka left immediately, taking Eclair with him as he went.

"Wait a minute! I can walk by myself!"

Yuhaka ignored Eclair's words and carried her away like cargo. Takatsuki Nanami, who was standing to the side, watched Yuhaka carry Eclair and the others away without realizing what was happening. It wasn't until a pillar of fire appeared behind her that Takatsuki Nanami realized that Leon Michele had unleashed that wide-range crest technique that affected both friend and foe again.

"This is too chaotic!"

As she spoke, Takatsuki Nanami jumped around to avoid being accidentally injured by her own allies, which would cause her clothes to burst open and give the audience a treat. Even though she was wearing a sports bra, there was nothing to be ashamed of even if her clothes burst open.

........................

As Eclair watched the towering pillar of fire from afar, a bead of cold sweat trickled down her face. Although she was glad that Yuhaka had helped her escape relatively quickly, she felt ashamed of how she had managed to escape like this.

A slightly angry Eclair then looked at Yuhaka, who was standing beside her with his hands on his hips, looking at her with an expression that seemed to say, "Come on, thank Yuhaka!" Eclair then reached out and pinched Yuhaka's cheeks, rubbing them. This made Yuhaka, who had been looking smug, instantly look confused.

“(??ω??)?”

It has to be said that this short hero's face is quite soft, and Akerle feels she's getting a little addicted to rubbing it.

Chapter 198 [Fierce Battle (Part 2)]

boom------! !

After an explosion louder than the Yhaka missile rang out in the arena, Yhaka, whose cheek was being rubbed by Eclair, suddenly had its tail bristle and its originally jet-black hair turn white and look a bit frizzy, accompanied by a very dangerous crackling sound of electricity.

"Wow?!"

Startled by Yuhaka's sudden change, Eclair quickly withdrew her hands. Looking at Yuhaka, whose hair had turned white, she said with some concern:

"Short hero?! Are you alright?!"

Eclair, seeing Yhaka's hair suddenly turn white, wondered if she had been scared white by Leon Mishueri's emblem technique. And indeed, Eclair was right. In Yhaka's eyes, all she saw was the scene of Leon Mishueri's emblem technique [Lion King - Flame Array - Great Explosion] exploding like a missile, which immediately frightened Yhaka's young heart, causing her to instantly activate her super-electrified state.

However, seeing that the explosion hadn't affected them, Yhaka's bristling fur softened slightly. If Texas saw Yhaka now, she'd probably mistake her for Lappland. (After all, Texas and Lappland are from the same "mother"~~)

"Explosion! Lady Leon Mishueri's Crest Technique [Lion King - Flame Array - Great Explosion]! It's known as an incredibly powerful Crest Cannon that leaves no living being alive within its attack range!"

Within the crater created by Leon Michele's blast, Leon Michele looked up at the war commentator's position and shouted:

"Franbowaz! Quickly check if the hero and that droopy-eared girl are dead."

"Ah, yes!"

Upon hearing his princess's words, Franbowaz quickly replied and then began to check the location of Yuhaka and Eclair. However, just as he was searching for their location, a flash of light in the sky caught Leonmichili's attention. Then, with a whooshing sound, an arrow the size of a short spear flew through the air in an arc and fell towards Leonmichili.

Faced with such an obvious attack, Leon Mishuri raised her hand and unleashed a burst of radiant energy, deflecting the arrow, which was the size of a short spear, from mid-air. Leon Mishuri snorted coldly and said:

"Hmph, how could I not notice such an obvious attack?"

However, just as Leon Michele was feeling smug, a short figure crackling with blue-white electricity jumped out from the edge of the pit and swung what looked like an invisible weapon at Leon Michele.

Leon Michele was caught off guard by the figure that suddenly appeared from underground. After all, Leon Michele thought it was impossible for someone to crawl out from underground, and the way Yuhaka was waving something vague in his hand made Leon Michele very puzzled.

Even so, Leon Michele hurriedly tried to block the attack with the shield in her left hand. However, the shield shattered the moment it hit her, and Leon Michele was also knocked away.

"Ugh!?"

Leonmishuri, who had been sent flying, rolled on the ground before immediately getting to her feet. She glanced at her left arm, where her armor and shield had been shattered, and then looked at Yuhaka, whose hair was crackling with blue-white electricity, and said:

"That's a bit unexpected. To be honest, it's the first time I've ever seen someone emerge from the ground and launch an attack."

Leon Mishueri looked at Yuhaka with an appreciative expression and said:

"Very good! Brave Biscotti! I like you very much! What is your name?"

Upon hearing Leon Mishuuri's words, Yuhaka tilted his head and said to her:

"Youyou, your name is Youyou."

Leon Michele nodded and said:

"Hmm, Youyou, not a bad name, I'll remember it, but..."

Leon Michele assumed a fighting stance and said to her:

"Have you noticed that our hero has disappeared?"

Upon hearing Leon Mishuuri's words, Yuhaka made a ?O_o o_O? expression and looked around. Then, Yuhaka realized that Takatsuki Nanami was not there. Although he didn't know why, Yuhaka roughly understood that Takatsuki Nanami had gone somewhere else.

Amidst gasps of surprise, Yuhaka spotted Takatsuki Nanami displaying her skills on the other side of the arena. Just as Yuhaka was about to approach, Leon Michele blocked her way. After staring at Leon Michele for a few seconds, Yuhaka shifted slightly to the right, and Leon Michele followed her.

“OwO......”

Yuhaka moved to the left again, and Leon Mishully followed suit.

“O-O......”

At this moment, Yuhaka finally understood that the white-haired man in front of him had no intention of letting him pass.

However! I don't necessarily have to go there myself!

Then, under Leon Mishueri's gaze, she saw Yuhaka take a deep breath and then blow it out. Seeing Yuhaka's reaction, Leon Mishueri immediately laughed and said:

"Hahaha, Youyou, are you planning to blow me away with a breath? Your wind power isn't strong enough..."

Before Leon Michele could finish speaking, she heard screams and a loud gust of wind behind her. Turning around, she saw three tornadoes raging over the arena of the Takashi Nanami. Large numbers of Garrett Lions soldiers were being sucked into the tornadoes and were spinning wildly in the air like clothes in a washing machine, like aerial acrobats.

Leon Mishuri was quite surprised to see this. If this were Yuhaka's emblem magic, Leon Mishuri wouldn't be so surprised, but Yuhaka didn't seem to be using any emblem magic in front of her. What was going on?

Before Leon Mishully could even form a rough idea, Yuhaka raised his indistinct weapon and swung it at her. Leon Mishully quickly dodged Yuhaka's heavy blow, as she certainly didn't want to be hit by a weapon she couldn't see clearly.

After dodging Yuhaka's attack, Leonmicheli maintained a slightly helpless smile and said:
