Translator: Tseirp

That night .

To have a strategy meeting, Haurvatat, Malina, Kanon, Norn, and Stella were gathered at Stella’s Silver Vine brewery . And at the same time, Haurvatat was down . She was drunk from the smell of the alcohol in the brewery and was asleep . She was currently sleeping in the neighboring room .

She was muttering “Master … master …” in her sleep so Malina and Norn once again realized the importance of the tournament .

On the other hand, Malina noticed that Kanon was acting strangely .

” … Kanon, is something the matter?”

Malina asked worriedly but Kanon shook her head and said with a laugh .

“Since when has Malina become so praiseworthy as to worry about me? Have you treated your fear of people?”

“That … not yet . ”

“Then please focus on that . I am all right . ”

She said with a toothy smile .

“Our first match is with a team called Nyanto Six Stars . ”

Having not met the Nyanto Six Stars, Norn muttered as she stared at the competition table .

“That’s right nya . Even though Mikke and Maru-onii are supposed to fight, it’s probably over for Mike nya . It’s critical to lose even a single participant and the combat ability of Julio and Sutchino can’t be counted upon in the first place nya . Mikke’s own combat ability is nonexistent as well so there’s no meaning in looking for substitutes nya . ”

It would a tournament with 6 participants in a team . A substitution can only be done once during the fight .

However, that can only be done in special circumstances like if the scheduled participant didn’t show up or that they have suffered from serious injury or illness .

Even if they had prepared a substitute for Mikke only, it’s true that it won’t have any use in this case .

“And so, what about our order nya? Senpo, Jihou, Chuuken, Fukushou, Taishou (TL: 先鋒、次鋒、中堅、副将、大将1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th fighters in Kendo matches – They arguably each have a certain role to play . Look it up if you’re interested . ) .  Normally the convention is to line up from the weakest participant first nya . ”

“Norn and Malina are stronger than an average person but their combat ability doesn’t stand out so if possible, I would prefer if Haurvatat, Stella and I decide the match . ”

Kanon said .

Kanon’s suggestion for the first match was to place Malina as the first participant, Stella next, Haurvatat as the third, herself as fourth and Norn as the final discarded piece .

” … Discarded piece . ”

Norn looked like she was dissatisfied but she understood that she was the weakest among them .

” — I’m the first?”

Malina asked in shock .

“Malina has that skill so you are skilled at tricks right? Don’t worry, you can surrender if you think you’re going to lose . The Nyanto Six Stars aren’t that strong so Stella, Haurvatat and I will definitely not lose . ”

And Kanon added on in her heart .

(By any chance if Stella or Haurvatat loses, as long as we don’t discard Norn, we would need Malina’s win . Under such pressure, that girl won’t be able to demonstrate her full ability . )

That way of thinking could be considered to be overprotective but she believed that it had the highest chance of winning .

“Then I’ll submit it nya . ”

“Ah, wait a minute . I’ll submit the participation sheet . Stella and Norn, please nurse Haurvatat . Malina looks like she’s about to collapse from nerves so I want to let her walk a little and I have confirmed the location of the tournament headquarters in the afternoon . Come, Malina, get yourself together . ”

Kanon said as she took the participant sheet, made the nervous Malina stand and walked towards the tournament headquarters .

※※※

Noon the next day .

The four team leaders of the teams participating in the tournament, the four Cat Siths, walked up the stage and made an oath .

Among them, only Mikke’s expression — his fur condition wasn’t looking good . He would probably have to give up from the start .

Nevertheless, Haurvatat and the others wanted him to try his best and compete .

Since they could not get their hands on information on the opponent team . They heard about Prince Maru, in other words, Stella’s brother, from Stella .

About him being the best Swordsman among the Cat Sith . But the ability of the people Maru brought was unknown .

(Valf isn’t around … well, he’s probably resting since he hates morning . )

Kanon pondered while keeping wary of her surroundings .

Vampires are weak in the morning and afternoon after all .

And once the opening ceremony was over, the tournament had finally begun .

As the first participant, Marina with her mask on and her Wind Bow stepped into the center of the arena .

And faced one of the Nyanto Six Stars — Nyai .

The fight to determine the new Cat Sith King has finally begun .
