『Everyone, just like yesterday, today we will be having exciting battles, I am very pleased to be the announcer for this time too!! Today will be the second round of the battle tournament, and it seems that our participants are also rearing to do this!! Let's start with the first pair!!』

When La Veil entered the stage, it got filled with bright cheers. Men and women carrying flowers were scattering them all over the place. In the middle of the huge amount of petals being scattered about, everyone's eyes were stolen by the beauty, bountiful in just the right places, standing on the stage.

『The first one to enter the stage is La Veil-ane-sama!! The beautiful red princess now being decorated with flowers is ready for the competition!! We couldn't really comprehend her fighting power in the first round, so will we witness it this time with ane-sama's opponent!?』

「Umu, you can leave that to me!!」

『Kyaaa Ane-sama!! The next we present is participant Horomir!! Please enter the stage!!』

Horomir, just like in the first round didn't wear armor and she was only clad in the same attire as yesterday. She was also carrying her special quiver along with her bow.

『Participant Horomir, who has not yet shown the peak of her abilities in the first round, now stands before us!! Will she show more of her skill in this round? May we all witness the best of her skills!!』

In the current stadium where the audience's excitement was way higher than yesterday, La Veil and Horomir were looking in each other's eyes without moving. La Veil was holding her halberd horizontally ready to attack at any time and Horomir was also in a stance ready to fire at any moment.

『Then for the first battle of the second round, La Veil vs Horomir, let the battle start!!!』

「Haaa!!!」

At the moment the sound of the gong rung, Horomir jumped a bit back then quickly released her arrow towards La Veil. The invisible arrow went straight for La Veil at such a speed that it reached in less than a second.

「Woops」

The halberd she held horizontally started spinning. *Gurun. A sound as if something hit her halberd was heard. After a short moment, an arrow, apparently broken by the halbert, was revealed on the ground.

「It's still not the end of that」

Horomir sends her second volley. This time it was two arrows, aiming for La Veil's feet and shoulders. These arrows were also shot at a staggering speed.

「Naive」

This time La Veil takes a pose and then strikes down the two arrows in one large swing. At that moment, the audience released voices of admiration.

「For you to even make two arrows useless, but that still won't decide the end of the fight right?」

「Go on, shoot! Give me your best shot, bow girl」

La Veil provokes her with hand signals to give it her best shot. Horomir accepts the offer and fires an attack once more, just like La Veil wanted.

「...Huf!!」

The third volley was made of three arrows, aiming for her head, stomach and right foot. La Veil didn't use her halberd this time and just plainly dodged all of them. The arrows were revealed a few moments later, stabbed in the ground.

「Could it be... Can you see my arrows?」

「Indeed. I can tell that you are really quite proficient at using the bow」
