Brynhildr-san then commanded the Valkyrie squad! “Now!”
The Valkyrie squad unleashed a burst of fire magic all at once! “Be careful! It’s dangerous!”
Ravel then appeared in front of her as she created a defensive magic circle and covered Rossweisse-san! The precision of Ravel’s defensive magic was overpowered and immediately destroyed by the Valkyrie squad whose origin was the same as magic itself. The fire magic rained down all over Ravel! Luckily, Ravel was a member of the immortal Phoenix Clan, so even if she received attacks, the flame would restore her body to its original condition. However, the recovery did use quite a lot of stamina. If her body were to be destroyed several times, sooner or later, she would be defeated due to lack of stamina. Rossweisse-san was shocked by the fact that her defensive magic circle had been overpowered. Even though this time, I had registered her with the [Bishop] piece, so her magical power had been buffed. Brynhildr-san said. “You haven’t fixed your weakness since that time, have you? —After being in an offensive stance and thinking that you could counterattack, you became full of openings. You haven’t changed since that time.”
The savage comment made Rossweisse-san feel frustrated. Brynhildr-san then pointed her sword at Rossweisse-san. “Your magic power exceeds even mine thanks to that wand. No, even without the wand, you are better than me in terms of magic power. However, magic isn’t all about power, you know?”
The Valkyrie squad once again lined up around Brynhildr-san. The war maidens then said. “Rossweisse-san, I pity you. However, this is the captain’s order!”
“This is your punishment for getting a boyfriend sooner than us!”
“But, I am sure that a late bloomer like you hasn’t even kissed yet!”
They said those things. Vidar-san then said to me. “The Valkyries are generally divided into two types. The first kind are those who quickly find themselves a handsome boyfriend and retire early, while the other kind are those who continue being Valkyries after being unable to find a boyfriend for a long time. These guys here are, well…you know it. Including the captain.”
Aahh, these Valkyries were the ones who couldn’t find boyfriends, huh… Wait, Brynhildr-san too…? Brynhildr-san spoke proudly as I looked at her. “A maiden’s kiss and purity should only be taken by a prince who will certainly appear on a white horse, right, everyone?”
[Yes!] The Valkyrie squad responded energetically to Brynhildr-san’s words. … A prince riding a w-white horse, huhhhhhhhhhh!? … T-To think that the captain of the Valkyrie squad… The strongest Valkyrie is…a daydreaming maiden…! S-She is so cute, isn’t she!? But then, Rossweisse-san murmured as her face became red. “…I did it.”
“Huh? Did what?”
Rossweisse-san directly and clearly answered the question that Brynhildr-san asked. “I kissed. With Hyoudou Issei-kun.”
Starting from Brynhildr-san, every one of the Valkyrie squad was frozen in place following those words. The atmosphere suddenly became stiff and silent. Brynhildr-san said as she trembled. “… K-K… K-K-K-K-K… Kiss, you did it? With a male?”
Rossweisse-san nodded in response to Brynhildr-san’s question. As if the war maidens were all shocked, they released their attacking stance! I-It shocked them that much!? Was a kiss that important to Valkyries, who didn’t have any relationship with men!? Brynhildr-san screamed. “No way! You are too perverted! Rose is perverteeeeeed! I can’t believe you did something like that before getting married, yaknow!”
She said it with a dialect! She said [yaknow]! The members of Valkyrie squad also added as their faces reddened. “You are perverted!”
“Rose, you have gone too far!”
“I have never even held hands with a male!”
“And on top of that, you did it with a younger male! What a perverted girl you are!”
……
…I-I couldn’t say anything. I-I see, so many of the single Valkyries are incredibly innocent, huh. Well, it was certainly the same with Rossweisse-san, as she was as naive as them. Uwaa, what a waste! To not have a boyfriend even though all of them were so beautiful! Anyway, that dialect is a standard for Valkyries, huh…? I learned so much today… Vidar-san said to me in a small voice. (Brynhildr is still a virgin, you know. Of course, everyone in that group too. They are all late bloomers who pale in comparison to Rossweisse-san.) Are you serious!? Brynhildr-san and everyone in the Valkyrie squad… It developed into a wonderful situation, but our strategist didn’t let this chance go away. “They released their attacking stance! Rossweisse-sama, let’s counterattack with magic!”
“Y-You are right!”
Rossweisse-san instantly responded and released a magic attack at the Valkyrie squad as she held the wand in her hand. A giant full-burst downpour was directed at the Valkyrie squad! It was probably because of the feeling ‘One of our ex-comrades kissed someone earlier than us’ that the Valkyrie squad—. ““““Kyaaa!””””
The strongly risen magic power that Rossweisse-san channeled in front of her was enveloped by the retirement light! <<From the [Leisure of the Kings] Team, four [Pawns] have retired!>>
There was a retirement report! All right! I didn’t really know, but I didn’t think that the kiss that I shared with Rossweisse-san last night would have such an impact on the game! However, since the Valkyrie squad had been defeated by Rossweisse-san, Brynhildr-san looked like she had become calm again and pulled herself together as she equipped her blade once again. A glimmer of light shone on that blade. That must be light magic. Because Rossweisse-san and Ravel were Devils, she endowed her blade with the light that was a Devil’s weakness. “It was my fault. Let’s resume the attack once more, shall we?”
The fight between Rossweisse-san + Ravel against Brynhildr intensified. — While it was good to pay attention to the fight between the fellow Valkyries…my first priority was to fight against Vidar-san, who was in front of me. Vidar-san then said. “We can keep hitting each other like this, but it’s not entertaining. —I also want to capture the spectators’ hearts.”
As Vidar-san said that, he created a magic circle in his hand. The pattern belonged to Norse magic. “Your [Bishop] over there is called Asia-chan, right? She personally attracted attention because she is participating as a Dragon priestess. So I also had an interest in making a pact with a famous Dragon. That’s why I added him to my team.”
Vidar-san was probably talking about the Dragon in their team, Midgardsormr. He also entered the match this time, but we had not seen his form until now. He could be sleeping at the bottom of Yggdrasil…
“Come forth, oh will of the mighty Dragon.”
As Vidar-san said that, something was projected from the magic circle on his hand. It was the figure of a giant Dragon who was sleeping at the bottom of Yggdrasil.
