280. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [51]

After that, our battle was fierce.

「Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style – Consecutive Sakura Flash!」

Bacchus-san, who excels in both strength and skill, continued to deliver fierce slashes without mercy.

On the other hand, Sebas-san, who was inferior in strength, and I, who was inferior in skill, while somehow overcoming Bacchus-san’s onslaught, launched counterattacks whenever opportunity presented itself.

「Kuh…」

「Seventh Sword – Instant Flash!」

Defend the attack, and then counterattack.

Although the offense and defense were jumbled up, no one was able to land the “decisive hit”.

(The reason why none of us can land the decisive blow… is because of the mops.)

Perhaps because having been used for many years, or because it has sucked too much water, the mops were terribly fragile. Even the slightest mishandling will break it immediately.

(And this scaffolding is slippery due to water…)

Because of that, I couldn’t make full use of my weight in my attacks.

In such a state, failure to land the decisive hit is inevitable.

And every time we crossed swords, Sebas-san and Bacchus-san’s complexion got worse and worse.

(Shit, I have to settle this match quickly.) (Sebas)

(Gununu, things will get bad at this rate.) (Bacchus)

Meanwhile,

(Alright, this is a good pace!)

I was steadily heading towards victory step by step.

There is a “special victory condition”, which is a “time limit” in this battle.

When we arrived at Sakura Drop Spring, Bacchus-san said:

【It’s 4pm right now, so… let’s meet in front of the store around 5:30pm.】

In other words, the time we would be spending in Sakura Drop Spring is an hour and a half at best.

(We washed our bodies, took a sauna, cold bath, and enjoyed talking about our stories while taking a bath in the hot spring.)

By my estimate, one hour has already passed.

Considering the time to change clothes and dry the hair, the time left for Ria and the others to spend in the hot spring is about fifteen or so minutes.

(If I can draw out this match till the time limit, the girls would have already left the women’s bath!)

Sebas-san and Bacchus-san’s evil plot will come to nothing.

(This pace should be fine.)

Don’t attack deeply, but don’t go too much into the defensive.

If I maintain this well-balanced offense and defense situation, I will win!

Then I continued that pace and stalled for “three minutes”.

「Damnit! Absolute Sword – Red Light Slash!」

「Gununu, Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style – Evening Sakura!」

Impatience appeared in the eyes of the two, and their attacks gave off a bitter vibe.

I quickly cut down the two approaching diagonal slashes and jumped back greatly.

When the victory was just around the corner,

「…Bacchus-san, why don’t we join forces?」

Sebas said something ridiculous.
