Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 326

Huh. ...... I never thought Fara would have a hidden trick like that.'

Unlike usual, she is wearing a martial arts outfit and her long hair is tied back, and she is poised facing us at a little distance from the front.

I slowly turned my body and took a stance while looking at her.

At that moment, there is a cheer from all the beastmen in the audience on the martial arts stage.

They probably never thought that Farah would unleash such magic ...... "Fierce Tiger Wind Blast Wave".

Also, I myself never thought that the magic barrier wall would be broken.

In no small part, that magic is no longer good.

When I imagine that if I were to take a serious hit, ......, I would feel a chill down my spine.

However, even if I lost my position, Fara did not give chase.

When I observed her condition and signs again, she was breathing on her shoulder and seemed to be in a bit of pain.

(As expected with that much magic, she must be exhausted. I guess there won't be a second shot in this match. ......)

At the moment she mutters this in her mind, a strong light lights up in Farah's eyes.

'Master Rid, ...... I can still go for it."

'Hmph, then I'll go next. ...... 'Water Spear Type 2, Eight Spears'.

The magic Water Spear Type-2 is less powerful than the normal Water Spear, but it's more guided.

This would drop Farrah out of the field without hurting her.

When I pointed my right hand at her and chanted the magic name, a water spear was instantly generated around me and flew towards Farrah without a pause.

But instead of being scared, she smiled at me.

'If you can do magic from a distance, just close the distance ...... [Gale]!

'Heh ......?'

As soon as her voice roared, another fierce wind blew around the area.

But what was approaching me was not the wind, but this time it was Fara herself.

The magic I activated landed on the spot where she had just been, and there was a spray of water.

In other words, ...... Fara must have broken through the barrage head-on.

"E⁉"

I shouted in surprise, but she kept smiling and said, "This is just the beginning!" and then she went into a close combat with me.

At the same time, another round of groans and cheers erupted from the audience.

(This is ...... more than I imagined, or perhaps a little too strong⁉)

Since the start of the bowl fight, I have been astonished.

At any rate, Fara's hand-to-hand fighting is sharp and lean.

If she is not careful, her headband could be taken away.

As the fierce attack and defence continued and I became more and more accustomed to her close combat, I had a doubt.

Eventually, it turns into a certainty.

Once I had gained some distance, I spoke softly to Farah, who was breathing on my shoulder.

'That's great, Farah. I had no idea you were so good at this.'

'Hah ...... hah ...... I am honoured by your praise. But, as expected of Master Rid. I can't reach you at all."

She looks at me and seems to be preparing herself and catching her breath.

To Fara, I ask her the questions I've been asking myself in my previous movements.

By the way,......, is it by any chance 'Zack' who taught you that martial art,......?

What? ......⁉How did you understand?"

Farah's eyes are dark and confused, as if it was an unexpected question.

'Haha, I knew it, right? No, it's because the movements and techniques Fara shows look exactly like those of the 'Capella' there."

As I spoke, I glanced at the dark elf Capella, who was standing as a referee on the stage.

Like me, Farah looked at Capella, and she looked convinced, "Oh, I see. ......".

But still, Zack, what kind of martial arts are you teaching ...... Fara?

From what I can see from our previous confrontations, her martial arts are no doubt the ones that the dark side learns in Renalute.

It was a move I knew through Capella, so I could still deal with it.

But that martial art is characterised by a one-hit kill, or rather, a lot of techniques that aim for the vital spot.

In addition, there are many moves that kill you the first time you see them.

If confronted without knowing anything about it, you are bound to receive some kind of blow.

Zack seems to have beaten Farah with quite a few such vicious techniques.

No, maybe it's just that she had that much talent to be able to move so much, I guess.

But that's not all I'm interested in.

'Also, Fara is also using 'body enhancement' through magic power, right?"

'Ah, so you've been discovered. But I still can't handle it as well as Asuna and Master Rid."

"No, no, I think it's great enough if you can use it that well."

I marvel at her reply to my question, which she answers with a smile.

She then smiled a bright, full smile.

'Really⁉ To hear Master Rid say so,...... hehehe, it was worth spending less time learning other studies and more time practising 'martial arts', wasn't it? Then ...... I will show you more and more ...... gale!"

"What?!"

As soon as she said something noisy, Farrah invoked her magic again and instantly entered my bosom.

It seems that the magic called 'gale' is to close the gap with the opponent at once by propelling the wind.

While I am analysing this, a series of sharp attacks fly in from her.

'Master Rid, I want to stand alongside you. I don't want to just be protected, I want to walk with you to where Master Rid aims ......, that's why I learnt this martial art and magic. Please, please accept my thoughts!"

'That makes me very ...... happy. I've already received ...... enough of your thoughts. ...... Oh⁉"

Don't talk while in intense close combat.

I almost got a good one.

Perhaps under normal circumstances, she would have said very good, heart-warming words.

But she is delivering a barrage of fierce blows at the same time as her words, so there is no time to be impressed.

Eventually, the moment I lose my position because I can't stand Farah's barrage of blows, "I'll have it!" and her hand reached for my bowl.

"Ku......⁉"

I unavoidably deployed a barrier between me and her.

At the same time, Farrah was hit by the barrier and jumped backwards with a scream of "Kyaaa⁉".

I heard cheers and booing from the spectators who saw this scene.

Indeed, I may have gone a little too far.

I felt sorry and spoke to Farah, who was repositioning herself.

Sorry, Fara. Are you okay?"

She puffs out her cheeks in response to my question and gives me a cute twang.

'Mmm. ...... I almost got the bowl off. Master Rid, you are a little nasty.'

'Haha, sorry. But that was a close call.

Fara smiled happily in reply as she tightened the headband back on.

'But I can still go on, ...... gale!

She uses her magic 'gale' to move in a fast zigzag, and then she enters my bosom again.

Then another fierce exchange of close combat between me and Fara began, and the hall was filled with cheers.

Farah's attacks were mainly elbows, knees and footwork, but they were all irregular, perhaps due to the softness of her body.

She spins around with her hands on the ground like a spinning top, and then unleashes a kicking technique. She even uses Asuna's signature summersault and moonsault....... So, Fara's movements are light and flexible.

'Here I go, the Tiger's Three Strikes!

⁉......⁉ That again?"

The one thing that annoys me is the "Fierce Tiger Triple Strike" technique that she frequently uses.

This is a technique in which she literally performs a three-round attack using elbows, knees, fists or feet, but there seems to be an abundance of forms within the technique, and the content of the three-round attack is an acrobatic move that differs each time.

Perhaps the aim is to confuse the opponent by daring to say the name of the technique.

I can't touch Farah, so I want to take her out of the field with the 'Water Spear', but she won't give me that chance with her onslaught.

It's as if she moves as if she's aware of anti-magic.

(Perhaps this fighting style that Farah is showing may have been put in by Asuna or Zack...)

As I muttered in my mind, I thought I saw the shadows of Zack and Asuna grinning behind Farah.

Huh, what kind of martial arts and putting in the person who will be my wife,...... and at that moment when I was dumbfounded by them, Farah stopped her attack and puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

'...... Master Rid. Why don't they attack all the time? You have only been aiming at the bowl since a while ago, and have not attacked me yourself at all.

'Ha-ha, I've been discovered, haven't I? But, you know, the girl I love. And I can't hurt my wife."

"Huh......⁉"

When Fara showed a surprised expression, she blushed.

Then, while moving her ears up and down, she mumbles, "Hawa ...... I'm Master Rid's 'favourite girl'? ...... ehehehe", and happily mopes around with her hands on her cheeks.

...... Apparently, she has entered her own world.

By the way, as Fara said, in the movement so far I have aimed only at the bowl, but I have not attacked her at all myself.

Even in the fierce exchange of close combat, all I was doing was defensive fighting and capturing the headband.

I did not attack in any way to incapacitate Fara.

Besides, this time it was a 'bowl fight' to see how good she is.

From the start, I don't intend to attack in a way that will hurt her.

Of course, the power of the 'Water Spear' was also quite limited, so even if it had hit her, she would not have been injured.

Or rather, that I had never really imagined that Farah was this capable.

But ...... Fara is still happily moping around in her own world.

If I take the bowl off her like this, will she get angry?

But if I do it secretly,...... and I slyly get as close to her as I can, erasing as much of her presence as possible.

Soon we're close, but Farah is still moping and not out of her own world.

'Wow,...... to be told like that by Master Rid,...... I knew it was worth learning martial arts. Oh, that's right! Next time, if I show you 'that technique', you might be more pleased. If that's what I decide to do, ......"

(Could this ...... go well?)

At the very moment I muttered in my mind as I reached for my headband, Fara suddenly turned around and our eyes met up close.

The unexpected event made me freeze, "Oh ......" unintentionally.

She, too, was stunned by the close encounter with my face, and uttered a cute voice: "Huh ......?"

At this point, Farah and I unintentionally looked at each other at close range, and I think we shared the feeling that time had stopped.

However, shortly afterwards, Farah screamed "Kyaaaaa⁉" and a gust of wind was created around her.

"⁉......"

I was blown away by the sudden gust of wind, and the gap between me and Farah widened again.

At the same time, the spectators who witnessed the scene cheered again.

As soon as I had been blown away, I took a passive stance and immediately took up a ready stance and turned to Farah.

'Haha, you can do things like that. Really, Fara is amazing.'

'Haha ...... haha ...... sorry too. I was just so surprised .......'

As she spoke, she caught her breath, coughed a 'kohon' and continued.

'I am aware of what you just said and of Master Rid's feelings. I will ask you to accept the next move I am going to perform. If Master Rid can accept it, I will lose this bowl battle.

"...... Okay. I will accept your move."

I smiled and nodded, and Farrah smiled a big, happy smile.

Then, she puts on a different, cold, stagnant atmosphere and shows a new stance.

The new attitude is completely different from her previous one, and I felt a shiver down my spine, muttering in my heart (that ...... this might be a worse feeling than I expected ......).
