Shoulda post this a couple days ago, my bad! Nowa and Leina's battle marches on!
Enjoy!
After looking at the starry sky for a spell, Menace’s gaze returned to the ground.
Despite it being the middle of the night, people were gathering in the square.
“That’s…”
She tried her hardest to make out the source of the commotion. Apparently Leina was fighting someone.
“This is troubling. I never ordered her to fight~”
Her opponent's nimble movements, dodging by just a hair's breadth, attracted the princess' attention. It totally looked like the skills of an acrobat.
“Sitaara, please bring a telescope.”
She decided to enjoy watching the battle in earnest.
“This looks like a good time killer.”

*Thunk!*
Kicking the ground, Nowa nimbly dodged her opponent's attack. Given that Leina was hypnotized, her attacks followed a pattern; as soon as Nowa realized, it wasn’t hard for her to create a stalemate.
“Fio… won’t you hurry back?”
Although she had meant to stall, fighting without any ally by one’s side was harsh. It made her uncomfortable, as if she was the bad guy there.
“Ki-kii!”
Lou screamed, receiving a slash from Leina.
“Sorry, Lou. Nowa knows she must focus on the fight!”
“Ki-ki! Kii!”
Despite having received a cut, the monkey climbed up her shoulder, umharmed. He could momentarily harden his body to withstand any attack. He essentially acted as a shield that moved to defend any targeted area.
It was thanks to her animal partner that the half-elf could fight without suffering any deep wounds.
“I feel bad for Fio, but Nowa can’t keep holding back much longer.”
As the battle kept going, Leina’s slashes kept changing. Nowa wouldn’t be able to stay on top forever.
*Thunk!*
Kicking the stone pavement, Leina jumped straight at her. She charged from extended range, and Nowa dodged like the branch of a willow shaking in the wind - ending up behind her!
So far, it fit the pattern.
Turned around, the blonde swung her sword with all her strength, without aiming.
That was also part of the pattern.
And that’s when Nowa changed the pattern: instead of parrying as she had done so far, she swung her staff sideways, smashing through Leina’s attack!
“Guh!”
Taking advantage of her staff’s reach, she swung in a big arc - adding centrifugal force to her strike, knocking her foe down on the stone pavement!
Unwilling to let go of her best chance yet, the half-elf swung down her staff downwards at the warrior!
Leina, on the other hand, didn’t stay down. She spum a few centimeters, then regained her balance using the momentum!
“Amazing. She’s real good.”
Nowa was honestly impressed. It would have been a fun fight if she was against a non-brainwashed Leina instead. They would have been excited to see the other's skills, and would have had a heart-pounding battle.
She couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
“Nowa! Her panties! Take off her panties!”
“Wha-?”
Hearing Fio’s voice all of a sudden made Nowa lose her focus. Leina’s sword didn’t miss that chance, and thrust at her!
“Whoops!”
The girl struck the pavement with her staff, and jumped back at a stretch. She rotated once in the air, and landed beside the recently returned Fio.
Her acrobatics earned her cheers from the audience.
“What do you mean?”
“The Sword of Unicorn is hidden in Leina’s panties!"
“Huh?”
Her blank look was understandable. Leina's blue and white striped underwear was tight on her; no matter how one looked at it, she couldn't hide anything in there.
Or rather, there *was* one way to hide it, but any woman worth her salt would very much object to the idea.
“In any case, aim for the panties. The panties!”
“Y-Yup… got it.”
Overwhelmed by his conviction, Nowa nodded despite herself.
The battle restarted. From the fighting so far, the girl was convinced she was faster than Leina.
Would she be able to carry out Fio’s goal by taking advantage of her speed and the various staff techniques she had learned from her Captain?
They won’t know that unless they fight.

“Oh dear, something interesting's going on there.”
Menace, having watched the battle between Leina and Nowa through the telescope, noticed that the half-elf’s attacks had begun focusing on her opponent's lower half.
“At any rate, she has good moves on her… okay, I’ve decided.”
The princess put a finger on the crown she wore on her head, and focused her consciousness on Leina.
(Miss Leina… Miss Leina… Capture that girl too. I’d like to see her acrobatics from up close.)
Her will should have been transmitted to Leina through the headdress her thrall also wore.
“*Giggle*… unexpected visitors are always fun.”
