Eighth Crown

"Why is this woman here?"

Such a question appeared in Maine's mind.

She knew each other because she had attended the swordsmanship competitions held in this country in the past, but she was quickly defeated, but she only met Aigrey who was the top five in the competition.

But this is the mansion of the adult, why is this woman here? And is she the one to open the door? Could it be that she has any special relationship with that adult?

Just thinking of this, a deep jealousy came to her heart.

This woman is not only prettier than her, but also has excellent swordsmanship. How can she still follow that adult?

"Is Lord Liangyi in the mansion now?"

Although she was unusually jealous and unhappy in her heart, she quickly restrained the expression on her face, and a gentle and graceful smile appeared on her lips, and asked Aigrey like this.

"Your Excellency the Hero of the Gun, and you are..."

After Aigre opened the door, she saw Motoyasu Kitamura who was holding the legendary spear in her hand and looked very conspicuous at a glance, and then she turned her gaze. After seeing Mai Yin, her eyes even showed a look of surprise.

"Lord Liangyi does live in this mansion. If you two have anything to do, please come in and talk."

Aigrey glanced at the two of them, and after thinking for a while, she let them in.

Since Liu Xia's reputation spread, a large number of nobles and adventurers come here every day, some trying to buy pure-blood flying dragons, some wanting to join Liu Xia's team and become famous, and some who simply come to give gifts and try to fight him. Relationship.

Of course, Liu Xia was too lazy to see these people, so he asked Aigrey to reject them all, so that they couldn't even step through the gate of the manor.

But this time, it was obvious that the people who came to visit were not ordinary people. The Hero of the Spear was one of the Four Holy Heroes, and the identity of the girl next to him was also unusual.

In the face of such a person's visit, with the authority of a housekeeper alone, she was still a little unsure, so Liu Xia could only meet her in person.

After letting the two people in, Aigrey led the two through the front yard full of flowers and plants, through a sheep intestine path, and came to the empty martial arts field.

"Lord Liangyi, Your Excellency the Hero of the Spear and the First Princess are here to visit." Aigley said respectfully.

in the field.

At this moment, it can almost be said that the wind and sand are everywhere, and the sword energy is vertical and horizontal.

The two figures came and went like lightning, and the speed far exceeded the limit that Aigrey and the others could see. In their eyes, the two had become afterimages one after another, rapidly fighting back and forth. write.

At the same time as the two were fighting, there were also sharp sounds of breaking through the air, and the sharp air flow was freely vertical and horizontal in the field, leaving sword marks several inches deep on the stone field with ease.

The scene of these two fighting each other shocked Aigrey, and Motoyasu Kitamura and Mai Yin were already dumbfounded.

"clatter!"

The moment Aigre spoke, a crisp sound of stepping on the ground followed.

The sword qi that was enough to cut gold and break iron disappeared, and the messy dust and flying sand gradually dissipated, making the scene in the field clear.

Liu Xia and Esdes stood several meters away from each other, each holding a Hedao and a Western sword in their hands, and the swords almost collided again just a few centimeters away.

"It's really annoying."

Esdes withdrew the stabbed western sword, muttered in such a low voice, and the fighting intent on his face also subsided.

Having said that, in fact, even if she continues to fight, the only person who will lose will be her.

The two practiced against each other almost every day, but so far, Esdes has never won once.

Although Esdes's swordsmanship has improved a lot because she has fought against many swordsmen in the world of Demon Slayer and Chaldea, she is still far from being the opponent of Liuxia, who has become a sword saint.

Even if she has already understood [Transparent World], her swordsmanship level is only one step away from being a Juggernaut, and her hand-to-hand combat strength has risen to the level of a top Servant, which has not changed in the slightest.

Moreover, the reason why she was able to comprehend the transparent world and her strength soared was also because Liu Xia kept feeding tricks.

She has always been a genius in fighting. After such a long time, there are still so many good opponents, and there is no reason why she can't improve.

"Beicun, what's the matter with me this time?"

Liu Xia withdrew the He Dao in his hand, but did not turn into a spiritual child immediately, but continued to hold it, looking at the two people standing sluggishly on the side of the field, and asked with a calm expression.

"Ah... um, that..."

Kitamura Yuankang suddenly recovered from the sluggishness, and glanced at Liu Xia with a slightly horrified look, then hesitated for a while, and still looked at Maine who was on the side.

"Mai Yin... Mai Yin, are you alright? Your face is very red, are you not feeling well? Did you have a cold?"

Maine has been watching the martial arts field, no, to be precise, watching Liu Xia.

Moreover, her eyes were extremely dazed, as if she was immersed in some kind of fantasy and couldn't extricate herself. There was even a thick blush on her face, and her eyes were full of obsession when she looked at Liu Xia. He has no one else left.

Kitamura Yuankang did not suspect him, but just looked at Mai Yin with concern, and even thought that she had caught a cold because of falling into the water, and planned to buy her two medicines.

"No... I'm fine, Lord Kitamura."

Under the continuous calls of Kitamura Yuankang, Mai Yin finally came back to his senses, his eyes regained clarity, and he rejected Kitamura Yuankang's kindness.

But there was a hint of strangeness in her words for some reason, and her gaze towards Kitamura Yuankang became colder.

At that moment just now, she was completely immersed in her fantasy, and she even thought about life after marriage and how many children she would have. It was not until she was awakened that she could tell what year and month it was, and she almost even thought about reality and reality. Fantasy is indistinguishable.

"Is it really okay? Don't you need me to buy some medicine?"

Because Kitamura Yuankang has been caring about Mai Yin's body, he didn't notice the strangeness in her words, he was still greeting her, and he didn't even notice the change in her address to him.

"...I'm really fine."

Mai Yin frowned, feeling a little impatient with Kitamura Yuankang's concern for the first time in her heart, but she didn't have any trouble in front of this adult, so she could only pretend to answer gently, and then immediately turned around. , staring straight at Liu Xia with obsessive eyes.

"Lord Liangyi, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Tracy McGrady, Tracy S. Melomag, the first princess of Meromag who will one day inherit this kingdom... May I have an honor? Join your team?"

Maine, who looked at Liu Xia obsessively, didn't notice that, of course, Esdes' eyes had become extremely cold when he looked at her.
