Rushing across the land on a soil boat.

“Is it really running!?” (Kanae)

“…Indeed, with this, we might arrive very quickly.” (Tina)

“Was this originally my magic, though?” (Meltera)

Once they left the town, green carpets spread out here and there. In places filled with water, grass-like plants were planted at regular intervals. This was a sight rarely seen outside the Yamato country.

“That’s a rice paddy.” (Leon)

“Rice paddy?” (Arc/Iris)

“You know the rice used for sushi, right? That white grain used in the curry sold at the Gourmet Tournament. They’re growing that.” (Leon)

“‘Rice!’” (Arc/Iris)

The twins’ eyes sparkled as they looked at the rice paddies passing by.

“It’s almost time.” (Leon)

After a while, a town came into view. A uniquely styled castle stood tall in the center, forming the castle town around it. There must be many dojos there.

“There it is,” (Leon)

They spotted Baby Sura. She was jumping up and down, welcoming Leon and the others.

“That’s a dojo.” (Leon)

It looked like a rather large dojo. There was a vast garden, and beyond it, several buildings could be seen. There were probably many dojos inside the grounds. The number of disciples seemed quite large.

“Hey, don’t you feel it’s noisy or something?” (Meltera)

Now that it was mentioned, angry shouts and screams could be heard from the back.

“Maybe Henriette-dono is arriving right now!” (Filia)

The group immediately dashed through the gate into the premises. They ran toward the direction of the sounds of battle. The fight was happening in what looked like the courtyard.

“Ugh…” (??)

“What strength…” (??)

“Damn it! Don’t underestimate our Yagyu Rishin-ryu…!” (??)

A lone female swordsman was putting on a great performance against many swordsmen.

With her red hair flying wildly, she blocked all the swords coming from the front, side, and back with superhuman movements. Just when it seemed she had handled all attacks, she took advantage of openings to cut down one or two at a time. There were probably hundreds at first. But most had already fallen, groaning painfully.

Only a few dozen remained. And those were quickly decreasing in number.

“…Weaklings… where… are you… to fight… the strongest…” (Henriette)

She was muttering something like delirium, but that swordswoman was clearly Henriette.

“No doubt! That’s Henri!” (Kanae)

“Found her so suddenly.” (Tina)

“Henriette-dono! Please come back to your senses! …Ugh, no good. Our voices aren’t reaching her…” (Filia)

Even though Filia called out, there was no reaction at all. She just kept cutting down the opponents in front of her.

“Should we take her down?” (Arc/Iris)

The twins asked.

“That’s right. For now, let’s try to take that sword away. …Huh?” (Leon)

At that moment, Leon and Henriette’s eyes met. In the next instant, she easily kicked away the swordsmen surrounding her and suddenly leapt straight toward Leon.

*Clang!*

Leon caught the sword strike. It was quite heavy. Then, she unleashed a series of fierce slashes in rapid succession. She was clearly different from the previous Henriette.

“Not just strength, but even the swordsmanship itself is fundamentally different. It’s impossible for her to have changed so much in such a short time, so she must be controlled, right?” (Leon)

However, for Leon, who had mastered the title of [Sword Saint], parrying swords of this level was a trivial matter.

“What is that foreign boy…!?” (Swordsman)

“The dojo’s defenses are holding against that attack!?” (Swordsman)

The remaining swordsmen in the dojo were astonished. Leon tried to make Henriette let go of her sword. The easiest way would be to destroy the sword itself, but…

“This sword has endured the heavy clashes for a while now without a single chip. Rather, my sword seems to be the one that might break first.” (Leon)

Leon’s sword was made of adamantite, bought from the blacksmith Zeta. A material stronger than that was quite rare.

“Orichalcum… no, maybe Hihiirokane.” (Leon)

Hihiirokane was an extremely rare metal found only in this country. Its strength was said to rival that of Orichalcum.

“…Found… you…!” (Henriette)

“Huh!?” (Leon)

Leon, who had the leisure to assess the sword’s material while easily dodging attacks, was suddenly taken aback when Henriette’s movements improved further.

“Her stats increased? Does that mean she hadn’t fully drawn out her power until now? No, but just now, didn’t she say she found something…?” (Leon)

Still, her body might not be able to keep up with the stats forcibly raised. Considering Henriette’s condition, they urgently needed to separate her from that sword. However, even for Leon, no opening appeared as Henriette’s attack power, agility, and swordsmanship kept improving. Every time he blocked her sword strikes, the shockwaves hit Leon’s body and creaked the walls of the dojo behind him. By now, the adamantite sword was in a condition where it could break at any moment.

“Well, even if the sword breaks, there’s magic.” (Leon)

Leon instantly released a lightning strike that paralyzed her body. At that moment, earth hands sprouted from the ground and grabbed both of her legs. Then, without hesitation, he used gravity magic to pull her to the ground and restrained her entire body with earthen shackles.

“Ugh—!” (Henriette)

As Henriette became unable to move, Leon approached and easily cut off the arm holding the sword with a wind blade.
