「Then, this was your question?
Other than that, is there anything else?」
It must be something Sonya doesn’t want to talk about further.
Then I won’t ask anymore regarding this issue.
Then──I still have another important question.
「Well, I have one more.
Until now, I have been a martial artist. I came on this trip to begin training on my road as a martial artist──so I heard from my friend that in Natousha, there exists an excellent fighter.
…From what I’ve seen, Sonya doesn’t seem to be that person──what?」
I could feel slight magic, and a behaviour without negligence.
Then, getting close to me without me noticing, a wind like emptiness.
Everything I had seen till now seemed to suggest she focused on dexterity──
While asking my question, I felt that asking about such things was not necessary,
Measuring strength was an important thing as a martial artist. After reaching a certain degree, even without exchanging blows, a martial artist must at least possess such an ability to an extent.
Having discretion, for me who’s aiming to be the strongest, served as a backbone especially as a martial artist.
There had yet to be an opponent that caused my heart to pound with excitement.
Magic was beginning to ooze out from my body.
I can’t restrain my excited heart. To allow me to feel to such an extent, aside from Chester, I had yet to meet in this life.
Although there seems to be no bottom, it should be on par with Alma──or higher.
As though it had never seen the surface, Sonya’s magic was like pure calm spring water, which conversely caused my heart to throb.
「──Aand, stop」
Acting as calmly as possible, I withdrew my leaked out magical power.
Oops, that must’ve been too rude.
Though I was invited to her house, to go around provoking a fight.
Realising the unthinkable impoliteness I showed, I lowered my head in fluster.
At the sight of this, Sonya’s face had a different smile, from before.
「No, you don’t need to feel so bad about it.
I too like matches──rather, I welcome such fights.」
In contrast with me who retracted my magic power urgently, this time Sonya’s magic started swelling.
A pure glassy magic began to take shape, mixed with a plain inquisitive colour.
