Masked Maid No. 2 vs Harvey

Masked Maid No. 2Meatslowly approached the man and extended her right hand.

She was going with operation Handshake. Seeing this, Harvey responded to the handshake.

However, this was a poor decision.

Masked Maid No. 2 suddenly grasped his hand and used her single hand to throw him toward the ground with all she had.

Clank, clank, clank.

The knights armor rattled as it hit the ground.

Continuing, Masked Maid No. 2 raised her right hand and threw Harvey, a fully-armored man, over to her other side and slammed him back into the ground. It was like slamming a leather bag filled with nuts on a table. Then like taking a fishs tail and slamming it onto the a ships floor. Then like throwing an onion. Sometimes shed be spicy and swing him in a circle.

Clank, bang, clank, bang.

Seeing such a small body throw a fully-armored adult like it was nothing was quite the spectacle.

Even if Id given her a supporter with orichalcum in it well, I guess this was the strongest blunt weapon, [The Ground] Oh, the sword the knight had at his waist just went flying. And there goes his visor. Wait, are those the whites of his eyes? Oi.

I guess being thrown against the ground so many times would have that effect.

No. 2, please stop there. Hes dying.

I thought this much would be alright alright.

After tossing the now-unconscious Harvey aside like an abandoned doll, he didnt move.

Hes still alive, right? I mean, I havent gotten any DP from him, so I guess?

Still though, [I thought this much would be alright] she was holding back? The f*ck is a little girl doing throwing around a fully armored knight like a ragdoll and still holding back?

Wh-What just happened!?

Err I guess I won?

Y-Yeah. I-I suppose so. I cant not admit that

Oh, that was easy. I figured hed say something about how she went with a surprise attack, but I guess hes not such a bad kid.

Lets leave him suddenly wanting to duel like that up to his youth.

Really, what was that. Shes child a child a female dwarf? No, those dog ears definitely point to her being a beastkin. She should be as old as she looks, but

Shes my subordinate, Masked Maid No. 2.

Cid ran over to Harvey and placed his hand to his neck.

He has a pulse.

Thats good. It wouldve been a bit awkward if we killed someone right after meeting you.

Sorry. But we had to duel I was wanting to duel with a hero of the Dragon suppression, though.

Hmm. Were there some circumstances?

What, there shouldnt be a problem, then. These two were in my party for that. You could even call this one here our captain.

So youre saying that thats the [Black Watchdog], Meat Kuroino!?

Whoops! Masked Maid No. 2s identity was found out. I only really wanted to hide No. 1s identity, but still. Also, that nickname. Meat seemed happy about it.

Whats with the clothing?

Shes Masked Maid No. 2.

O-Okay? So, could I refer to her as Kuroinu-dono?

I glanced over to Meat. Her tail said that yeah, she didnt mind.

Well, I guess I have her permission?

Sure.

My thanks.Hear me, everyone! This maid is one of the Dragon suppressions heroes, the [Black Watchdog], Meat Kuroinu-dono! Her martial prowess is by no means exaggerated! Praise to the victor!

With that, Cid incited onlookers to raise their opinion of Meat even further. Shouts of joy came from our onlookers.

Meats ears twitched. Yeah, she was enjoying her nickname. Even with her mask on, her tail made that much obvious.

Huh? Doesnt that mean that the amount of information I get from Meats facial expression is no different between when she has that unmoving mask on and when she doesnt?

By the way, could you please explain whats up with you wanting to duel us so suddenly?

Mm. Ill explain later. Kehma-dono, could I introduce you to my villagers?

Eh, sure.

My thanks.Hear me! This is the [Black Watchdog]s master, the Village Chief of Golen, the [Dragon Tamer], Kehma Golen-dono! He who is the winner of this duel wishes to be our ally! Rejoice, everyone, for Golen is mighty!

Eh? I have a nickname? Im not a tamer though?

Even so, when he said my name, the shouts of joy returned after a few beats of silence. I figured something annoying was going to happen, but it looks like were welcome here. If its going to be like this, I get the feeling were going to get along well.

Later on, we were guided to Dragos Village Chiefs estate. The same as all of the other buildings, it was white.

By the way, there were tons of partially-built houses on the way.

Alright. Id like to first apologize for my rudeness about that duel. My apologies, Kehma-dono.

Its all good, Im used to it. I have two or three battle maniacs among the people I know, so its no big deal.

Aidi, Wataru, and Shikina yeah. 1

Haah even so, Im confident in my skills but ya took me out before I could do anythin youre strong, girl.

Nn. Im the [Black Watchdog].

It looks like the two champions were in agreement with each other.

One of them was dispirited, but they were sharing something in common as fighters. Meat was still wearing that mask of hers how long was she planning on keeping it on?

So, whyd you suddenly want a duel?

Thats well, I wanted to clarify that Dracos position was below that of Golens. I believe that Kehma-dono should understand just by me saying that.

I see?

Yeah, I dont. More like Im in the dark on that, actually. Could someone hand me a flashlight?

Id like for us to get along without having to say things like above or below, actually.

Its fine. Draco is starting late and we have no dungeon. In the end, of the various things that caused Golen to succeed, all that we have is the will to succeed. If we treated each other as equals here, Id forget that.

Ah, I get it. So thats it? The whole lets grow up quickly to match our rival feeling, huh? So thats why they want us, their target, to be placed on a pedestal.

Thats how it is. My apologies for placing you on a pedestal.

Its fine, it made our Village Sub-Chief feel like someone lit a fire under his ass, so thats great. Lets go with the rival thing.

Wozuma was full of motivation, so maybe we could turn this rivalry into a good thing.

Alright, lets get along well. There wont be any issues so long as we can trade equally. Were rivals, no need to rip each other off as enemies.

I promise to let the Pavueran merchants do what they want to make fair trades.

Cid and I shook on it.

This isnt a bad deal, right?
