Fox Palace and Mikoto Chiyo glanced at Yomi.
No, let alone the Underworld, Cocolia is not weak either, not to mention Snow Robe.
However, Liu Bai had never sparred with either of them.
...Does that mean they have to be Earthlings?
—Of course, otherwise, how could there be such a good deal as getting 20 or 30 coins back for drawing a character?
Fox Palace glanced at Mikoto Chiyo.
Well... in addition to all the previous performances.
In other words, Liu Bai's current goal is Mikoto Chiyo?
Fox Palace decisively gave Chiyo a look.
(If we're going to have a friendly spar...)
(About a 70% chance of winning?)
"...?"
Wait a minute, why has your chance of winning dropped to 70%?
Although sparring doesn't have to be serious, didn't you still crush him before?
Seeing the look in Kitsai-no-miya's eyes, Mikoto Chiyo was also helpless. Ryuhaku's parrying ability was also slowly improving - in fact, Ryuhaku's parrying was already at level eight.
Coupled with his talent, which could be described as that of a martial arts genius, she had a real headache fighting him.
Well, actually, Mikoto Chiyo really enjoys the feeling that she could be overturned at any moment during a sparring match.
Fighting Liu Bai won't be boring.
Moreover, the 70% figure might be an exaggeration. Liu Bai's cognitive abilities are too strong. Yu Yuqian feels that if he continues to train, Liu Bai will probably understand him to the point where he can "know what kind of fart is just by lifting his leg".
The fact that they can barely maintain this win rate is actually entirely due to numerical superiority. After all, if you only look at the numbers, Miyuki Chiyo's attributes are twice that of Ryuuhaku. If you were to quantify it in reality, it would probably be three to four times.
Without this figure, she would have been overthrown long ago.
Furthermore, even warriors specializing in pure physical attacks have no way to break through parries.
A 70% win rate is barely enough, and now there's no need to even talk about win rate anymore. All Liu Bai lacked to beat her was an opportunity, a flash of inspiration.
Masters like Fox Palace and Divine Child are actually more effective against Liu Bai, but the only problem is that their paths don't overlap, so Liu Bai won't spar with these two.
"Chiyo, you have to do your best."
"...This isn't something that can be achieved simply by trying hard, okay?"
After living for so long, how could we not know the upper limit of our talents?
Hard work pays off. I've long been on par with Ying, not to mention I suffered a serious injury in my younger days.
It's no joke that the younger generation these days is more terrifying than the last.
When Mikoto Chiyo first arrived here, she saw Rita and Ragnar, two young people who were slightly stronger than her.
While there may be some technological advantages, strength is strength, and if it can be used on the battlefield, then there's no problem.
(But if you don't work hard, Lord Liu Bai will be snatched away.)
(If it's stolen, then take it back. Don't you always like to steal other people's things?)
(This is slander...)
"Lord Liu Bai, would you like to have a spar?" Miyuki Chiyo ended her staring contest with Kosai-no-miya and invited Liu Bai.
Since things have been said to this extent, Mikoto Chiyo doesn't mind taking the initiative to accept the challenge.
"Come."
…………
"...Hey, Chiyo, are you going to use ranged attacks this time?"
“Just wooden javelins.” Mikoto Chiyo held a katana in her left hand and a naginata in her right, with several wooden javelins wrapped in cloth on her back. She gave Liu Bai a gentle smile. “But if you get hit by one by accident, it will hurt a lot.”
"...I can't really laugh."
"Well, I don't want to lose like this, so I'll use a little underhanded tricks—although it's just a friendly spar, I'll be going all out this time."
Although the person was smiling, there was no smile in their eyes at all.
But... well, what can you do when only this serious guy is left in the house?
Liu Bai can't very well challenge the Shadow, can he?
"Alright, both sides, take your positions." The shadow's formulaic voice rang out—this person had considerable experience presiding over martial arts competitions. "Salute... Begin!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, two javelins shot straight at Liu Bai's body.
Dodge one, block one!
However... Mikoto Chiyo is also making a move!
If you block the javelin or dodge and leave too much of an opening, Mikoto Chiyo will follow up with an attack...
Without the help of a parry, Mikoto Chiyo could knock herself down with just one blow.
This person's strength in wielding a sword with one hand is no less than that of Kujo Sara and Kamisato Ayaka in wielding swords with both hands!
Two stabs to death is called a soul wandering; one stab to death is called a horror game.
I'll take one!
Boom-!
The dull thud of wooden swords clashing against each other echoed on the beach.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Boom-!
Crack——!
The blade of the naginata in Mikoto Chiyo's hand spun and flew out.
"...Eh? Cough—!"
Before Miyuki Chiyo could even comprehend what was happening with her astonished expression, the hilt of Liu Bai's execution prelude struck Miyuki Chiyo in the abdomen.
With her defenses wide open and her stance unsteady, Mikoto Chiyo was, after all, a young girl, not some massive humanoid warship.
The upward strike from below sent Mikoto Chiyo flying.
Even after being sent flying by such a force, Mikoto Chiyo struggled to adjust her posture.
However, the real heavy-hitting executions followed.
As Mikoto Chiyo struggled to regain her balance, Liu Bai raised his wooden sword and delivered a powerful downward slash.
"That's enough!"
"Ugh...this is terrible, cough."
Mikoto Chiyo, who had been knocked to the ground by a powerful strike, lay on the beach with her head covered in fine sand.
"Ah, I meant me. Well, what you said was a very beautiful blow. I'm completely convinced... I can't take it anymore, I need to rest for a while."
Mikoto Chiyo was too lazy to refer to herself as "this humble servant" anymore. Although she still had the strength to fight again if she had to, in a real battlefield, she would already be five hundred years old.
So, just as the verdict was declared, the outcome was already decided.
Mikoto Chiyo casually ran a handful of sand through her hair, then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

"Lady Chiyo's words sound like a villain's dying words."
Yae no Miko complained from the side, but at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
We firmly oppose the two sides getting too close.
If Lady Chiyo loses, Liu Bai's trip to the Far East will likely have to be slowed down for a while.
"She did her best; Chiyo probably didn't expect to lose."
Aside from her determination to fight to the death, Mikoto Chiyo used all her trump cards this time, but even so, she still lost.
Ying carried Mikoto Chiyo on her back and glanced at Liu Bai with some anticipation.
It's as if they're asking, "Isn't it my turn to challenge you next?"
...No, there's absolutely no need to look at him with that expectant gaze.
Shadow, this kind of "magic swordsman," is exactly the kind that Liu Bai can't defeat.
Will the pineapple get electrocuted?
Liu Bai felt that he might as well go find Natasha. At least with Natasha, if he rolled on the ground and acted cute, he might be able to win without a fight.
Ah, speaking of winning without fighting...
"Your Highness?" The Herrscher of Dominion noticed Liu Bai's gaze.
"...You should just call me Master. I feel a little embarrassed to be addressed as Your Highness."
Please don't make this sound like a Mary Sue romance novel.
By the way, if the Herrscher of Domination deliberately loses to him in the manner of a mob, he should be able to earn some gacha coins, and the Herrscher of Domination probably doesn't care about winning or losing.
Incidentally, a single Herrscher of Domination is not considered a "strong enemy," and Sakura is not considered a strong enemy right now either.
"Yes, Master, is there anything I can help you with?"
Although the relationship between the two parties is not a proper superior-subordinate one, using a clear superior-subordinate title like "master" is a bit subtle, but the Herrschers of Domination don't really object to this title.
"It's okay... Let's go to the gashapon machine first. With the gashapon coins I have, I should have around fifty."
If you're lucky, you can still hope to get a shipment.
It really doesn't work...
"Mr. Liu Bai?" Liu Ying tilted her head when she felt Liu Bai's gaze.
How about letting the Firefly draw it? Just consider it as completing the Star Core Hunter synergy.
"?"
Suddenly, Liu Ying felt a chill.
That being said, although Liu Ying wasn't actually that happy that Liu Bai won... well, she was still a little happy.
However, Liu Ying didn't really want Liu Bai to select a new person.
Because...the more people there are, the more chaotic it will become, right?
Furthermore, we don't even know who the other person is...
The plan of Firefly is actually for everyone to collect gashapon coins for about ten days.
Judging from Liu Bai's current appearance, it seems like he has already collected enough?
Wouldn't that ruin my plans?
Could it be... wait! There's a new reason!
Liu Ying's mind raced with various thoughts, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her.
It seems there are two gashapon machines? Is the other gashapon machine for drawing weapons and items?
Hmm... It's not good for Liu Bai to keep carrying around this salted fish knife. It would be best to have a new, concealed self-defense weapon.
This way, not only can we find a reason to continue delaying, but it will also make it more difficult for that group of people to attack Lord Liu Bai!
"It's nothing." Bai's gaze shifted away from Liu Ying's face.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the expression on Hotaru's face when she draws Kaffa.
"Let's go upstairs."
