Chiho: Okay, now that the lunch break is over, it's time to start the second round!
Chiho: Here is the pairing for the second round!
Chiho: First match of the second round, Kan'u versus Sonken, second match, Sonsaku versus Kakouton, third match, Gien versus Bachou, fourth match, Teni versus Kakoen.
Chiho: What do you three think of that pairing?
Kada: It's quite a promising one.
Chousen: Right. A lot of them are battles between rivals.
Kada: Yeah. I'm especially looking forward to the battle between Sonsaku and Kakouton.
Chiho: Those two fought each other during the war, after all. #Yeah, that's the most interesting battle in this event#
Kada: And it's a battle of two people blessed with a combat talent... this is clearly worth watching!
Chiho: You're quite excited, Kada-san! By the way, what do you predict about that match?
Kada: I don't know if a strong and clever Sonsaku will win, or lacking in brains, but overwhelmingly strong Kakouton will!
Karin: You've heard him, Shunran.
Shunran: Kada! I'll be sure to behead you later! #I'd say a skilled doctor is more valuable than a dumb brute now#
Kada: Eeh?!
As Kada and Shunran where having a comedy of a conversation between the stage and announcer seats...
Chiho: Okay, putting the future severed head person aside, let's carry on.
After casually disregarding Kada, Chii turned the microphone to Chousen next to him.
Chousen: Right... I'm sure they'll all be interesting fights, but I'm the most interested in the battle of Aisha-chan and Renfa-chan.
Himiko: Yeah. I agree. #Me too. And the other two sound boring#
Chiho: Oho! And why is that?! #Because we don't get to see Renfa fight often#
Chousen: It's partly because it's a battle between two girls fighting for Master. I can already picture them clashing.
Himiko: Use their strength and fight for the man they love. The path of fragile maidens is a steep one!
Chiho: Path of maidens?! I have no idea what it means, but it sounds really appealing, you know?!
Chiho: Ah, participants are coming in, so it's time for announcers to stop talking.
Chiho: Therefore, participants of the second round first match arrive!
Chiho: War God of Shoku is coming from the east!
Chiho: Huge chest and a small heart! A War God permanently jealous over Master, Kan Unchou!
Aisha: Kuh... I can't even deny that! #At least she's aware#
Chiho: Meanwhile, the one coming from the west is the young king of Go! #In her case, both her chest and her heart are big#
Chiho: A royal tsundere, worrying over her big butt, an elegant big chested king of Go, Son Chuubou!
Renfa: I, I'm not bothered by the size of my butt! #I don't remember that happening either...#
Chiho: You need to face the truth! #I wonder if Chiho would even dare to make fun of Sheren#
Renfa: S, shut up!
Chiho: Here comes the insults! That's what I call a royal tsundere! Well, that's how it is, let's start the second round!
Aisha: I always wanted to try fighting against you... #But she struggled against Pairen, so if she can fight Aisha well...#
Renfa: Me too, Aisha. #That proves Pairen's pretty strong#
Aisha: As a warrior and as a woman. I don't want to lose... so I'll go all out.
Renfa: Of course... let's hold no grudges no matter who wins... both as warriors. And as women.
Aisha: Yeah. Well then, Renfa-dono. #No, you idiots, don't compete as women, cooperate!#
Aisha: No, Renfa... here I come. #But they both can cooperate with Touka just fine#
Renfa: Come, Aisha.
Aisha: ...Kan Unchou, advancing!
Aisha: Seryaaaa!
Letting out a dull glitter, Aisha's Green Dragon Blade targeted Renfa's shoulder with a whistling sound. However...
Renfa: Don't underestimate me!
With a loud shout, Renfa swung her Southern Sea Conqueror at Aisha's attack, without showing any fear.
With a blunt and terrifying sound, their blades released dark crimson sparks.
Renfa: Don't expect Son Chuubou to be hit with an attack this wide, Kan'u!
Saying that loudly, she tackled Aisha, who was about to lose her balance due to having her attack blocked.
Renfa: It's my turn now!
Renfa: Seei, seei, seei, seeeei!
With an unusual shout, Renfa launched several attacks at tremendous speed.
Aisha: Guh!
Aisha: ...She's precise! #Forgot to turn on your cheat codes, Aisha?#
Renfa: Before I became a king, I was a frontline officer! This is only natural! #I kinda hate how their strength is so inconsistent#
Chiho: Whoa! This is unexpected!
Chiho: Sonken is pushing back the battle-hardened veteran Kan'u! Announcer Himiko-san, please tell us your opinion on this!
Himiko: Yeah! Because their difference in brute strength is apparent, it was her obsession with victory that made her pick quick thrusts!
Chousen: Doesn't that mean Aisha-chan can't relax? Attacked by all those quick thrusts, she have no time to fix her balance.
Kada: It might be her pride as a king. Or it might be her pride as a woman... good job regardless, Son Chuubou!
Chiho: All three announcers are praising Son Chuubou-san greatly! Let's see if it's possible to overcome Kan'u with this!
Renfa: Not yet!
Aisha: ...
Sheren: Aah... she got too excited and can't judge the situation properly.
Karein: Seems so... well, shouldn't we say she did well against Aisha?
Sheren: Saying she did well is meaningless.
Sheren: War, battles, love. Results are more important than process for those.
Karin: Normally, that's true... #Are there any "results" in love?#
Sheren: Huh? Do you disagree, Karin?
Karin: I believe your point is valid, okay? However, we're anything but normal.
Sheren: Hmm... now that you mention it, we're not. #Yeah, that's called being irrational#
Karin: Unfortunately.
Kazuto: ...Huh? What?
I was busy watching the battle between Aisha and Renfa silently... but felt those two's stares and looked back at them.
Sheren: Because we have an abnormal leader here...
Karin: Everyone might've been affected by Kazuto and dyed into his colors. #I wish...#
Kazuto: What do you mean by dyed?
I can't figure out what they're talking about. #It's okay, they don't know it either#
Sheren: Who knows? What could it be? ...Hmm? It's about to end. #I don't think authors have any idea how exactly they got "dyed"#
Kazuto: Eeh?! But, Renfa is working so hard...
Karin: Working hard doesn't mean you're going to win for sure. There's a thing called absolute difference in strength.
Sheren: That's right... look, Aisha's counterattack is starting. #It's not impossible. Sheren died to a weak archer before#
Renfa is still pushing Aisha back at the stage... no. It only seems so.
Renfa: What's wrong, Kan'u?! Are you going to tell me you can't fight back!?
Since all of her attacks got blocked, Renfa got irritated and tried provoking Aisha, when...
Renfa: ...Wha?!
Aisha: ...
Aisha silently blocked Renfa's attack with her Green Dragon Blade.
Aisha: I've seen through your attacks already... taste my fierce blow next!
Saying that, she easily pushed back Renfa's Southern Sea Conqueror with her Green Dragon Blade.
Renfa: Kuh... I can't match her in brute strength! #Can't you just call it "sword" and "glaive" like normal people?#
As Renfa got pushed back and lost her balance...
Aisha: Brace yourself, King of Go Sonken!
Aisha: Deeeeeeei!
With a loud shout, Aisha attacked with her Green Dragon Blade.
Renfa: Kuh... I won't let you! #This is where you softly shift her attack above your head#
Renfa managed to stop Aisha's attack somehow by grasping her sword's hilt with both hands, but...
Aisha: If you think you can stop my attack just by using both hands... you're making me laugh!
With a confident phrase, Aisha pushed her Green Dragon Blade that was blocked by the Southern Sea Conqueror.
Gu... gugugu... #Right, just push... that's a pretty dumb move#
Renfa: Wha... this... I'm getting pushed back?! #Where's the blade dancing? What's with this "bash, bash, bash" combat?#
Aisha: ...Uoooooooo!
Aisha: Seryaaaa!
Letting out a shout full of fighting spirit, Aisha changed the angle of her Green Dragon Blade and blown the Southern Sea Conqueror away. #See, now we're talking. Twist, tilt, shift, chain, disrupt#
Renfa: Ah...
Aisha: This battle is settled...
As Renfa lost her sword and kneeled on the ground, Aisha stopped her Green Dragon Blade right in front of her.
Renfa: Kuh... I lost...
Aisha: Yes... this time, it's my victory.
Renfa: Fufu... right. This time, it's my loss. #Yeah, right. I'd be surprised if Renfa ever beats Aisha#
They smiled at each other and shook each other's hands.
Sheren: Oh my. They agreed to share him.
Kazuto: Share who?
Karin: Who knows? How about you think about it yourself?
Kazuto: ...?
Karin: And you can do it for eternity, stupid...
Karin: Anyway, Sheren. It's finally your turn next.
Sheren: Yeah... fufu, it's been a while since we were last trying to kill each other with Shunran.
Karin: Are you sure that was what you were trying to say?
Sheren: Why not? It's pretty much no different.
Saying that, Sheren unsheathed the sword at her waist.
Sheren: I'll be going then. Kazuto, cheer for me.
Kazuto: Yeah. Good luck, Sheren.
After reacting to my cheering, Sheren readied and leaped on the stage.
Chiho: Okay, it won't be an exaggeration to say this second match of the second round is the greatest pairing of this tournament!
Chiho: Little Conqueror of Koutou and a great hero of Go! Son Hakufu-san makes her appearance!
Chiho: Aah, Sheren-sama, you're so cool. Look at me! Take me!
Shunran: Hey, host! Stop making a fuss! Introduce me already!
Chiho: Boo, boo. Don't interrupt me when I'm admiring Sheren-sama.
Shunran: That doesn't matter, do your job already!
Chiho: Okay. Well then.
Chiho: Fighting against Little Conqueror of Koutou is the boar of Gi, Kakouton. Done!
Shunran: Y, you bastard!
Chiho: Okay, let's start the match!
Gong echoed after Chii's announcement, and just when I thought loud cheers are overwhelming that sound...
Shunran: Whoa?! Hey, Sheren! That's not fair!
Sheren: It's fair... it's your own fail for standing in a daze despite the deathmatch already starting, no?
Shunran: ...Shunran, wait, is that really the word you were trying to use?
Sheren: You're right... it is!
Shunran: ...Guh!
Sheren: Come on, come on... you'd better not be letting your skills rust just because there's peace!
Sheren: Ahahahaha! I'm going to turn you into a minced fish!
Kazuto: ...Is Sheren fighting for real here?
Karin: For sure...
Kazuto: Right... I wonder if Shunran will be okay. #It's okay, she has her cheats, Sheren can't win here#
Karin: Oh. It's rare of you to worry about Shunran. #Actually, let her die here, it'll spare everyone so much trouble#
Kazuto: Is that so? I believe I'm always quite considerate towards her.
Karin: Even though she caused you so much trouble? #So even Karin is aware of that#
Kazuto: Well... she sure gets me in trouble a lot, but it's Shunran we're talking about. So I'm not really bothered by it. #That's not an explanation or excuse, you pathetic doormat#
Thinking about it now, it's been quite funny, so that's fine too. #No it wasn't. Unless your sense of humor is made out of cliches#
Kazuto: Anyway, will Shunran really be okay?
Kazuto: I know they're using tournament weapons, but if she gets hit in the head, it won't be a minor injury, right?
Kazuto: Anyone else could stop in time, but it's berserk-mode Sheren we're talking about, we can't deny the chance of an accident...
Karin: Fufu...
Kazuto: It's not funny, Karin. Don't underestimate Sheren when she's fighting for real...
Karin: And which one of us is underestimating someone again?
Kazuto: Eh?
Karin: Great Sword of Gi... don't underestimate her strength, Kazuto. #But she'd probably fall into one of Tanpopo's pitfalls outside arena#
Kazuto: No, I'm not underestimating her... but can Shunran, who lost her balance already, fight against Sheren fighting seriously?
Kazuto: No, I guess Shunran can, regain her balance and fight back against Sheren...
Karin: Hmm... if that's all what you think, you're still underestimating Shunran.
Kazuto: Eh? ...Is that so? #STOP TALKING!#
Karin: That's right... The true strength of Great Sword of Gi. It's not her combat strength and not her willpower to overcome adversity.
Karin: There's only one term to describe it. #"Dumb"#
Kazuto: One?
Karin: Absurd... look. Common sense, traditions, courtesy, look how strong someone who overcomes all of that is.
Urged by Karin's words, I looked at the stage...
Sheren: Come on, come on, come on! Don't guard like some turtle! #Says person that complained about Renfa losing her cool earlier#
Shunran: Kuh...
Sheren: You keep guarding, but do you realize you're running out of options?!
Shunran: ...
Chiho: Under Sonsaku's fierce blows, Kakouton is powerless! Kakouton is slowly approaching the edge of the stage! How will this match end?!
Chiho: Will Sonsaku get an overwhelming victory?! Or will Kakouton get a pathetic defeat?!
Chiho: Good luck, Sheren-sama! Annihilate this boar Shunran. #Yup... noone like Shunran#
Under Chii's obviously biased hosting, Sheren's attack got even fiercer.
The dull sound of blades clashing. The smell of sparks in the air.
The two on the stage focused to the point as if they're on a real battlefield, making their battle even fiercer.
Sheren: Ahahahahaha!
Sheren laughed happily, swinging her sword.
Seeing her smile like that while she's approaching, Sheren really looks like a demon right now.
Under Sheren's endless assault, Shunran is getting slowly pushed back, reaching the edge of the stage and being a step away from falling off.
Shunran can't fight back anymore... just when everyone thought that...
She's been blocking all this time desperately, but Shunran finally stepped forward herself, hitting Sheren's attack back.
Shunran: Good! I've seen through it!
Sheren: Eh?
Shunran: I'm saying... I've seen through your swordsmanship!
Sheren: Kuh!
Chiho: Whoa! She's been overwhelmed until now, but Kakouton blocked Sonsaku's attack and even counterattacked powerfully!
Sheren: Tsk!
Not wanting to lose her balance, Sheren leaped back, making distance from Shunran.
Shunran: I see you've been acting without restrain all this time! I'll pay you back twofold, so prepare yourself, Sheren!
Sheren: Heh... so are you saying you were on defense all this time to see through my swordsmanship or something?
Shunran: That's right!
Sheren: Hmm... should I praise you, saying it's to be expected from a Great Sword of Gi?
With a grin on her face, Sheren said her provocation. However...
Shunran: Fu... fufu... fufufufufufu!
Sheren: ...Is that laughter saying you're that confident?
Shunran: No... Sheren. I'll tell you something.
Shunran: Does my weapon... look like a great sword to you?
Sheren: It doesn't. It's pretty thin.
Shunran: Right... but I'm called a Great Sword of Gi. Do you know why?
Sheren: ...Who knows?
Sheren spoke jokingly as if she's confident, but not being able to understand Shunran's plan, she lowered her waist, bracing for impact.
Sheren: I'm a bit curious why... please do tell.
Shunran: Rather than through my beautiful voice, see it with your own eyes.
Shunran: ...I had no opportunity to use it during our previous battle! #sv_cheats 1#
Shunran: The aura in my body... drinking it, Seven Star Hungry Wolf takes its true form!
Kazuto: Whoa... sounds chuuni... no, I mean, what a twist... is she telling the truth, Karin?
Karin: About what?
Kazuto: Something about aura and Seven Star Hungry Wolf. #Nah. She came up with all that crap on the spot, which makes it worse#
Karin: Who knows?
Kazuto: Eh...
Karin: I've never heard about it either. Maybe Shunran came up with something?
Kazuto: Something?
Karin: There's no way I would know that... we'll know if we just watch.
Kazuto: That's true... just where is this match going? #Somewhere extremely unfair... but epic#
Shunran: Uoooooooo!
Raising a loud groan, Shunran brandished her Seven Star Hungry Wolf.
Following that groan, a faint light started forming from Shunran's body... eventually, that light gathered at her sword and started forming a blade.
Shunran: W, what's that?! What is this absurdity?! #Light Hawk sword?#
Shunran: ...Heh! This is the true form of Great Sword of Gi! Are you able to stop my sword?!
Sheren: ...Heh! Don't underestimate me, they don't call me a Little Conqueror of Koutou for nothing!
Sheren: Come!
Shunran: That's the spirit! However!
Shunran: Uoooooooo!
Shunran: My soul becomes my aura and makes my Seven Star Hungry Wolf rebirth! Don't expect to block it easily, Sheren!
Sheren: Wha, what's with this sword?! Why is it this giant?!
Shunran: This is a Sword Soul Extension!
Sheren: How about you make some sense?!
Shunran: Enough talking! Here I come, Sheren!
Shunran: My aura, strengthened by my soul, forms a sword that can even cleave heaven!
Shunran: Majestic, regal! Fierce sword wave!
Shunran: Seven Star Hungry Wolf! Overwhelm!
Shunran: Kieeeeeeeeeeeh!
Following a deafening shout, a giant sword clad in aura headed towards Sheren with a whistling sound of cutting through the air!
Sheren: Kuh!
Shunran: Uhahahahaha! It's not over yet!
Gugu!
Sheren: Kuh... kyaaaaaaaa!
Shunran: Heh! Nothing can stand against my Seven Star Hungry Wolf! #I wonder if it's a Sanger Zonvolt parody#
Chiho: Whoa! Sonsaku guarded against Kakouton's attack, but couldn't stop it and was launched out of the stage!
Sheren: Ah, oww...
After being blown outside the stage, Sheren used her sword as a cane to get back on it.
Shunran: Uhahahaha! How do you like it, Sheren? It's my victory!
Sheren: W, what a cheat... #Nah, everything until now is fine and epic. Until now, that is#
Shunran: Don't call it a cheat. It's my true strength!
Sheren: True strength?! You never used it when you fought me before, you know?!
Shunran: Ah. That's obvious.
Shunran: I couldn't think of this attack back then.
Sheren: Wait a bit... what do you mean you couldn't think of it?
Shunran: Hmm? Oh. I just thought of this attack recently. That's why I tried using it. That's all there is to it.
Sheren: ...Huuuh?
Sheren: Then, what was all that talk about the Great Sword of Gi?!
Shunran: A bluff!
Sheren: Bluff...
Shunran: I learned how to use aura in combat by watching Nagi! #This. This is why I hate Shunran. The main reason#
Sheren: ...And you just used it?
Shunran: Yeah!
Sheren: I forgot...
Sheren: I completely forgot that you're an idiot to the core... sigh...
Shunran: What?!
Sheren: First of all, using it just because you came up with it, don't you think you're crazy?!
Shunran: I'm not! I'm perfectly sane!
Sheren: Try explaining what makes you sane, you idiot!
Shunran: I'm sane because I think so! Any other explanation is unnecessary!
Sheren: Don't call it unnecessary, make some sense, you living absurdity!
Shunran: Wait a bit! Out of all people, I don't want you calling me that, you know?!
Sheren: What! #Fair point from Shunran#
Shunran: What?! Up for another round then, Sheren?!
Nagi: L, learned by watching... I trained pretty hard to learn it... #Yup... her whole life. And Shunran just casually copied that#
Kazuto: A, ahaha... well. Shunran, how should I put it... combat idiot? A living absurdity, right?
Nagi: She's a real monster after all... #Shunran being there demoralizes everyone who actually works hard#
Kazuto: Well, I won't deny that... or more like, I can't...
Kazuto: But, well... you get absurdity, give it clothes and you get Shunran. So, cheer up.
Nagi: Haa...
Shuuran: Hmm... he has the point. Nagi, don't let it bother you too much. Sis is a genius among geniuses. There's not many people like her in the world... or actually, I wouldn't be able to stand it if there was more.
Nagi: It doesn't make me feel much better...
Kazuto: It's okay. You're strong enough, Nagi. I know that the best... so, don't worry about it.
I said what I think as I was patting Nagi's head to console her.
Nagi: Okay...
As I managed to console Nagi, Sheren left the stage with an unconvinced look on her face...
Sheren: Hey, Karin. Your great sword is really crazy, you know? Is it really okay to leave leading the elites of Gi to her? #Definitely not. She's strong, but she's a terrible leader#
Karin: Fufu... of course. Shunran's called the Great Sword of Gi exactly because of how she is. #That has NOTHING to do with why she's leading the army#
Sheren: But she's still way too absurd!
Karin: Well, I won't argue with that... but, if I were to say it, you're not that different from her, you know?
Sheren: How?! I'm not as absurd as Shunran, okay?! Right, Kazuto?! #Well... not to that level for sure. Sheren has leadership skills#
Kazuto: Hmm... well, silence is golden.
Sheren: What do you mean by that?!
As I ignored Sheren, who protested while puffing her cheeks...
Chiho: Well, continuing after that amazing battle, in come the participants of the third match of second round!
Chii announced the continuation of matches.
Chiho: She's armed with a Bonecrusher! Its name indicates that it's a club meant to crush some bones, I don't need to say it, just look at it!
Chiho: She speaks in a manly style, but she's actually a dreamy girl! And don't you dare call her unneeded!
Chiho: Coming from the east, Shoku's Rampaging Shogun, Gien!
Enya: Is there anyone who can defeat me?!
???: I'm right here! #Poor Tanpopo, everyone's stealing her catchphrase lately#
Chiho: Whoa! Her opponent makes her appearance from the west, giving a staple response!
Chiho: Their characters should be overlapping, but is she popular because she's near the spotlight?!
Chiho: Shoku's specialist of wetting herself, lea-Kin-g Bachou arrives!
Sui: D, don't call me a specialist of wetting myself!
Chiho: Yes, yes, it's okay! There's plenty of spare underwear in the waiting room.
Sui: Ah, thanks... wait, I'm not going to need them!
Chiho: Thanks for going with the joke! Okay, let's start the match between two overlapping personalities.
Enya: Jeez... we're not overlapping! Just you listen to her nonsense...
Sui: Exactly! She can say we're overlapping, but unlike Enya, I'm not a manly but dreamy maiden!
Sui: I just, well, kinda get a bit too embarrassed around Master!
Enya: I agree there!
Sui: Right?! ...Wait, huh?
Sui: Enya, I thought you hated men, no? #I thought she got pretty openly dere by Moeshouden#
Enya: ...A, awawawa, I, I, I meant around Touka-sama, in my case!
Sui: Ah... I see?
Enya: A, anyway, Sui! Let's fight already!
Enya: Okay, come at me!
Sui: Oh, you're motivated from the start. I like that!
Touka: They're both really motivated... but, Master. Fufu... Enya-chan really loves you.
Kazuto: I can't be certain with the way she said it, so I can't say anything... I'm kinda happy, but also kinda afraid of what's to come next, okay?
Kikyo: Heh. Well, she's grown at least a bit it seems.
Kazuto: Did she really?
Kikyo: When she was a child, Enya was too strong in combat. Growing up without any friends, anyone would end up being bad aroudn men.
Kikyo: That changed when she met you, Oyakata-sama... Considering I raised her instead of her mother, I'm quite happy with that, you know?
Touka: Enya-chan's been showing her feminine sides more often lately.
Touka: That time with me, Master and her... is probably what changed Enya-chan's mind, no?
Kazuto: Ghm... Right now, well. Let's focus on their battle. We need to cheer for them.
Touka's teasing whispers were kinda seductive, so I focused at the stage to distract myself.
Sui: ...
Enya: ...
The two fighting on the stage are watching each other closely, waiting for an opportunity, instead of exchanging blows.
They're just moving slightly, by sliding their heels a bit, waiting for something to happen.
Sui: (Enya's weapon is a blunt weapon meant for finishing blows)
Sui: (So, luring her into a wide swing to force an opening is the basics here...)
Enya: (As expected of one of the Five Tiger Generals. Her stance has no flaws...)
Enya: (Not to mention, Sui's speciality is her speed. So, does that mean I should focus on defense and wait for an opportunity?)
Enya: No... that wouldn't be my style! #Oh, who cares. Use what works, adapt to the situation#
Sui: Hmm?
Enya: My nature is to charge ahead! And crush the insects! It's nothing those conceited people talking about defense can understand!
Sui: W, what is she tal... ugh?!
Enya: Good offense is the best defense! Here I come, Sui! #Pit her against a jujitsu master#
Enya: Deyaaaaa!
Sui: Eh?! Wha, out of nowhere?!
Sui: Kuh! What a weight! #What kind of novice directly blocks a heavy blunt weapon?#
Enya: Good job stopping it! But, it's not over yet! #Also, why is she reaching with a club against a long spear?#
Sui: Guh, no matter how many times you attack, you won't be able to bypass my defense, you know?!
Enya: Bypass defense? I'm not thinking about something that weak! #Well, yeah. Heavy weapons are for crushing blocks, not bypassing them#
Sui: Huh?! #High stats, no technique#
Enya: If there's a wall, I'll crush it! If there's a defense, I'll crush that defense! That's the proof of my strength!
Sui: Now that's some crude proof! #Just WHO in this world managed to teach Kensuke clever fighting?#
Enya: Crude is fine! That's how I do things! #Kensuke shifts attacks, negates impact, predicts enemy movements#
Enya: Oraaaaaaaaa! #NOONE here does that#
Sui: (Crap... at this... rate! This imitation spear won't last much longer!)
Sui: (But, I need to wait for a chance!)
Enya: Doseeeeei!
Sui: Ow?!
Taking Enya's fierce attack, Sui got pushed to the edge of the stage and lost her balance.
Enya: Now's my chance! #One trick pony authors#
Enya: Deyaaaaaaa!
Trying to take advantage of Sui's loss of balance, Enya approached her with explosive speed and launched a full swing right after stopping.
However...
Sui: I've been... waiting for this! #I'm not impressed. This is a third in the row already#
Enya: What?! #Also, WHEN are you talking?#
Sui: Usharaaaaaa! #Nah, no epic bgms can fix this bad writing#
Enya: Guh?!
Dodging Bonecrusher's attack by a tiny bit, she attacked Enya's sides with her Silver Flash with a blinding speed.
Enya: Kuh, regrets... #Git gud, stats won't save you#
Chiho: Whoa! Bachou was on the brink of getting pushed down from the stage! But she barely dodged Gien's wide swing and landed a decisive counterattack!
Chiho: Gien is on her knees and we're counting now! #They're not boxing. A strike with a spear is normally fatal, she's "dead"#
Chiho: One! Two! Three! Four! #Actually, I have no idea what language she's speaking in#
Enya: ...I can't lose here!
Breathing in frustration, Enya tried to stand up somehow. However...
Chiho: ...Eight! Nine! Ten! #Oh, wait, she's counting in Chinese...#
Chiho: Unable to stand up by the count of ten, Gien got her defeat confirmed!
Enya: Damn, damn, damn! For me to lose!
Sui: Do you regret losing? Don't worry about it.
Sui: You were really strong, Enya. Each of your Bonecrusher's attacks made my bones hurt, you know?
Enya: Sui...
Sui: It was my victory this time, but we don't know how it would end if we fight again. So... let's do it again later, Enya!
Enya: Yeah. I'll win next time, lea-Kin-g Bachou! #Enough of that pun already. Or this conversation#
Sui: Yeah!
Chiho: With them exchanging a handshake of friendship that I'm not sure if I'm willing to call beautiful, this match ends!
Chiho: The winner is Seiryo's wetting girl! It's Lea-Kin-g Bachou! #Stahp. This joke is no longer funny, stop dragging it on#
Sui: As I said, don't call me a wetting girl! #Copypaste battles, copypaste jokes, Shuuran, Ruru, please...#
Sei: Hmm. So the wetting girl won.
Kazuto: Right... but, I won't be responsible if Sui yells at you for saying this later, you know?
Sei: Fufu, it'll be okay as long as you keep quiet, Milord.
Kazuto: That's true... actually, what? Come to think of it, why are you not participating, Sei?
Sei: Hmm?
Kazuto: In the tournament... I thought you'd be quite motivated to join, no?
Sei: If it was a fight to survive, I'd act proud and claim I won't lose to anyone, but to do it during the age of peace, that goes against my sense of beauty.
Kazuto: That phrase suits you, Sei... but, you enjoyed the training quite a lot, so shouldn't you have joined after all?
Sei: It's entertaining to polish my skills... but using my skills for a crowd's entertainment is different.
Sei: Also, the sight of everyone participating bravely is irreplaceable and wonderful.
Sei: Therefore, drinking from a cup while watching that, is exactly what my sense of beauty demands.
Kazuto: I see. In other words...
Sei: I just want to drink during the daytime.
Kazuto: Right... makes sense.
As I smirked from hearing Sei's words, I heard Chii's hosting.
Chiho: Okay, next comes the final match of the second round!
Chiho: A person with the younger sister role of Gi! Her eyes look at noone but her Nii-sama! But she's also a cook strict about cooking! Like, "who made this pathetic gyoza?!".
Chiho: Coming Evil Teni, Ruru-chan! Ah, by the way, the younger sister role of the whole continent belongs to Chiho-chan of our Chou Sisters.
Chiho: Hey?! That's where you cheer!
Chiho: Uu... Ruru-chan took my role as the continent's younger sister... #Chiho really doesn't need anyone to keep a conversation going...#
Chiho: But you're mistaken if you think I'll get depressed her! Chii is a tough girl!
Chiho: Well then, let's introduce the opponent of Coming Evil Teni!
Chiho: Coming Evil Teni's opponent is a person that unexpectedly won the first round by using her brain, pillar of Gi, Kakou Myousai!
Shuuran: ...Wasn't that a pretty short introduction? #She gave you a long one in the previous round, no?#
Chiho: Ehehe... I don't have much to work with, so I can't make it longer...
Shuuran: I see... sorry for being so plain. #Someone other than Pairen is hit with this problem?#
Chiho: No, no! I believe a lot of people are attracted to that plainness. #Well... she's definitely way better than Shunran, Keifa or Kii#
Shuuran: That's good to hear, but all I need is just three people. #Oh?#
Chiho: Three? If Karin-sama is the first one, the other two are...
Shuuran: Fufu, I wonder... well then, Chiho. Signal the start of the match. #Shunran and Kazuto? Or Ruru, since they're on really good terms?#
Chiho: Okay! Well then, ring the gong to start the final match of the second round!
At the sound of the gong, Shuuran and Ruru prepared for battle on the stage.
Shuuran: Well then... let us fight, Ruru.
Ruru: Yes! I'll do my best!
Shuuran: Yeah. I'll answer your spirit with my own... come, Ruru! #When she's not being stupid over Karin or Shunran, I like Shuuran#
Ruru: Here I come! #Her voice and speech pattern, especially#
Ruru: Toryaaaaaaaaaaaa! #Same as Kikyo's, it's kinda poetic#
Letting out a fierce shout, Ruru attacked with her weapon, making a loud spinning sound.
Chiho: W, what's with this this brute force?! Spinning disk thrown by Teni made a hole in the stage!
Shuuran: As expected, your attack is as good as ever... it'll end right away if I take a hit.
Ruru: Saying that is unfair, you're not planning to get hit.
Shuuran: Fufu... you sound more confident than you used to, Ruru.
Ruru: I train a lot daily, after all.
Shuuran: As expected of a Gi warlord that will represent our next generation... however, I haven't retired yet. I don't plan to lose easily.
Ruru: Yes! Use all you've got. And I'll fight you with all I've got as well.
Shuuran: Yeah... here I come, Ruru. Use your power to overcome the achievements of Kakou Myousai!
Bowstring echoed on the stage, following Shuuran's spirited words.
Battle between Ruru and Shuuran was extreme.
Ruru displaying her overwhelming strength, and Shuuran reading two or even three moves ahead, as she was firing her arrows.
They used all of their skills and tricks, fighting to grasp the victory.
My hands were sweating as I was watching that heated match, where it wouldn't be surprising no matter who won.
But that battle didn't last for long...
Chiho: Final match of the second round has ended, with this, all of the second round is now over.
Chiho: Okay, let us hear the three announcers speak their opinions on the second round. Three announcers, it's your turn.
Himiko: Yeah. All four battles were splendid! #Except for three of them were copypasted#
Chousen: Right. My muscles were twitching all this time, I also wanted to participate.
Chiho: No, no, no, you'd definitely win if you participated, so please don't. #But I wanted to see that...#
Chousen: That's not true, sniff.
Chiho: (Whoa, gross!)
Kada: But still... that final match was worth watching.
Chousen: Right. Noone doubted Shuuran-chan's victory. So I'm really impressed Ruru-chan flipped the outcome there.
Himiko: I'd understand if she read steps ahead to overturn it. #So, ANOTHER comeback in the last moment? Though underdog won#
Himiko: It was a really simple thing, but she noticed it and even put it to action, as expected of a warrior called Coming Evil.
Kada: Yeah. Destroying the stage and taking advantage of it... she only managed to pull a trick like that because she's Teni. #I remember Homura and Capt in Majikoi doing that, it was awesome#
Himiko: Yeah! When I think of the next round, my heart is beating strongly in my cute fragile chest!
Chiho: Okay, it's a bother when you show off those abnormally large pectoral muscles, so please back away.
Chiho: And that was the word from our three announcers!
Chiho: okay, that ends the second round! This martial arts tournament is already approaching its end!
Chiho: What unexpected event waits for us next?! Who is going to win?!
Chiho: I'm getting tired of hosting already, but let's keep holding our expectations, third round is coming soon!
