No one present, including the elite level 3 adventurers, could clearly describe what they had witnessed.

Because those three strikes occurred in no particular order.

They seemed to have broken free from the constraints of time and ignored the distance of space, appearing simultaneously before Kaguya in the same instant.

Three perfectly overlapping, yet emanating from different dimensions, curved blades of light together formed an impenetrable three-dimensional cage, precisely targeting Kaguya's sword-wielding hand.

For the first time, a look of bewilderment appeared on Kaguya's face.

She tried to hide, but it was too late.

She wanted to block, but didn't know which way to block, because no matter which strike she blocked, the other two would hit her at the same time.

This is an unsolvable situation.

Perhaps the only way is to utilize the adventurers' abilities?

Kaguya quickly dismissed this idea.

This time, for the sake of this inexplicable engagement, she has already lowered her standards.

If the restrictions are lifted and she uses the abilities of a Level 3 adventurer, she will be unable to face herself.

"Crack!"

A crisp popping sound,

The wooden sword in Kaguya's hand shattered at the center of the three arcs of light, instantly exploding into countless flying wood chips.

A sharp gust of wind from the sword brushed against Kaguya's cheek, ruffling a few strands of her hair.

She froze on the spot, her right hand still gripping the sword, her thumb and forefinger slightly numb, but all that remained in her palm was a bare hilt.

Wood chips drifted slowly down in front of her.

Lost,

They lost cleanly and decisively.

How could this be?

If it were just a simple competition, Kaguya wouldn't be a sore loser.

However, this time is different.

The moment she proposed the competition, she already had the idea of ​​breaking off the engagement.

At the start of the competition, facing an opponent who was clearly weaker than himself, he chose to strike first.

Even after failing in one strike, he seized the opportunity to increase his speed and power to the extreme that ordinary people could achieve.

Even so,

She still lost, and lost completely.

For a moment, Kaguya's expression was quite forlorn.

Lynn sheathed his sword and stood up, his easygoing and cheerful expression returning; "This is the sword that cuts down the swallow."

Chunji, standing behind Lynn, covered her mouth with delight, afraid that she might have made a sound, which was impolite of her.

She had previously thought that Lord Lynn would lose face this time, and she herself did not have complete confidence in Lynn.

We won, and we won beautifully.

but,

But...

If Lord Lynn wins, then Kaguya will become his wife.

Kaguya's temper is clearly not very friendly. Will she stop letting me take care of Lord Lynn?

Chunji became even more worried and heartbroken, and she couldn't hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Impossible..." For the first time, Celty, who was wearing glasses, lost her composure and steadied her glasses, which were about to slip off. Her eyes behind the lenses were filled with shock that defied all reason.

"Three attacks arriving simultaneously... This is not something an ordinary person could do, and even an adventurer would find it difficult."

"This...this..." The dwarf Astaire's mouth was agape.

“My God…” Therapist Maru covered her mouth with both hands.

“‘One-hit kill’… ‘Lucky Kid’…, these nicknames of mine are so inappropriate,” the werewolf Niz muttered to herself.

The Amazon warrior Iska, who had been crossing her arms, had somehow lowered them, and her eyes as she looked at Lynn were filled with burning fighting spirit.

And the captain, Alexandra, was even more excited, clenching her fists in anticipation.

“That’s not any kind of ability we know, it’s not magic, and it’s not an adventurer’s skill… it’s a kind of ’skill’ that’s pure to the extreme.”

"A sword technique we've never seen before."

"Haha, I really want to try it. I wonder what it would feel like to face it head-on."

Liu stared intently at Lynn, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Lynn really won. The guy who was running around like an idiot last night actually has such amazing swordsmanship.

Kaguya can't escape this marriage arrangement now!

Thinking about this, Liu suddenly felt a strange sensation in her heart.

"Strange, Kaguya got the short end of the stick, shouldn't I be happy? What's going on?"

Lynn tossed the wooden sword to the referee, Lyra, walked up to the dazed Kaguya, and extended a hand.

"Let's get to know each other again. I'm your fiancé, my name is Lynn. Also, we should start discussing the wedding arrangements."

P.S.: Please give me your rating and flowers.

11. These bad guys

wedding?

Kaguya's mind went blank, buzzing.

She never imagined she would lose.

From the moment she learned of this absurd engagement yesterday, she had imagined countless ways to end this farce cleanly and decisively.

But in every way, she was the winner.

Now, this man named Lynn, with a swordsmanship she could neither understand nor even reach, shattered all her excuses for refusing.

If you lose, you have to fulfill the marriage agreement.

Is she really going to marry this man in front of her?

Kaguya looked at Lynn's outstretched hand; it was this very hand that had just unleashed those three stunning slashes.

A smile still lingered on his face, without smugness or the mockery of a victor.

In the Far East, women are merely appendages of men.

For some reason, Kaguya suddenly felt that he... wasn't so annoying after all.

At the very least, his swordsmanship is worthy of respect.

That recognition of the way of the sword quietly dissipated some of the anger and resentment in her heart.

Instead, a more complex and conflicted emotion arose.

She instinctively raised her hand.

Before she could even react, her hand had already gently rested on Lynn's palm.

He clearly possessed superb swordsmanship, which, in theory, was the result of years of sword practice, and his hands should have had a thin layer of calluses.

But Lynn's hands were very delicate and warm.

A warm feeling spread through their clasped hands.

Kaguya's heart skipped a beat, and a blush crept onto her face.

"Ouch—!"

"Look, look! Our iceberg-like deputy regimental commander is blushing!"

Lyra's sharp jeers instantly broke Kaguya's daze.

Alexie jumped up exaggeratedly, drew her rapier, raised it high, struck a childish pose, and shouted passionately:

"In the name of justice! Witness this historic moment! The challenger, with his unparalleled swordsmanship, has won victory and, more importantly, the heart of our vice-captain! From this day forward, the ranks of justice will have one more... beautiful wife!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Kaguya jerked her hand away like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her cheeks flushed crimson. "I just... honor my bet! It's just courtesy!"

"A bet's a bet?" Iska leaned closer, winking. "Doesn't that mean you're acknowledging the engagement? Then I'll take care of your hair and makeup at the wedding."

“That’s right, that’s right!” Niz yelled, “When are you going to have the wedding, Kaguya!”

"Is there enough meat at the wedding banquet?" Aste asked, her mouth still full of food.

Kaguya was surrounded and attacked by these guys, and for a moment she had no way to refute them.

It was indeed she who said that if you lose, you have to accept it.

Just as Kaguya's face was contorted in distress, the goddess of justice, Astraea, stepped forward.

She smiled gently, but her voice left no room for argument: "Kaguya, the competition is over, and the agreement must be kept."

The goddess made the final decision.

"As for the wedding date," Astraea said, glancing at Lynn and then at Kaguya, "you two can decide for yourselves."

After saying that, she even cupped her face in her hands, adopting the posture of a mother marrying off her daughter, and muttered to herself:

"Oh dear, I haven't even had a chance to teach Kaguya how to be a good wife yet, and she's already getting married. I really hate to see her go."

"Goddess Astraea!" Kaguya was about to go crazy.

She looked around at her companions' knowing smirks and felt utterly ashamed.
