I see, you can only take out your weapons from your purse and cuff areas when wearing kimono. No, Kuromiya-san, you don’t have to praise it that much.
That movement will alert the enemies. But when using skirt, you can do this Michi moves her hand like she’s fixing the wrinkles and swings her hips.
And like this; Michi’s white fingers are holding a shuriken before anyone noticed.
Wonderful. Kurumi and I want to learn that natural way of taking out a weapon Err.
If we’re a little more confident in our martial arts, then we could go out wearing skirts like Michi-san, but.
Kuromiya Arts use Hakama in training Mikuriya Kurumi-san said.
We’re accustomed to wearing Hakama when acting aggressively
Yes, we came here wearing Hakama with the intent to fight kuromiya-san, why?
This is a martial arts tournament venue so you never know when you might be asked to participate in another bout
Yes, and so we changed our clothes to prepare for a fight in any situation Mikuriya-san too.
It’s a little exciting, everyone in here are fighters, but I prepared a spear, just in case Looking at the direction Kuromiya-san pointed at.oh there’s a tall gentleman dressed like a butler holding two long objects in a cloth bag. Right, it won’t be just the young lady of the nobility and her bodyguard coming here. There are also adult bodyguards other than Mikuriya-san. Still.
No, people who don’t apply for participation won’t be fighting
But, it’s just for the rare possibility. Well, they might get hurt from getting too excited from spectating the matches, but. Bringing in a spear in this place is a bit.
Why not? I think the mood itself is fun Turning around to the familiar cheerful voice and I see Nei.
Actually, half of the spectators who came over today are also participating in martial arts Nei looks at the spectators in the lobby. True, their physique says that.
Women MMA isn’t that popular yet, and so most of the people come from the same dojo and gyms as the competitors to cheer on them. But of course, some people are just pure martial artist fans Nei smiled.
I mean, this is what Margo-oneechan set up. That’s the reason why today’s tournament has a higher number of people doing martial arts than the normal matches She whispers to us to make sure others don’t hear.
What did Margo-san do? I asked.
Well. The tournament itself has been going on for quite a while but there’s never been a women’s martial arts tournament with such high prize money Prize money?
Look, we had a meeting with Takasaki-san from Kansai before, haven’t we? We talked to him and made him the organizer of the tournament here Oh right, there was that one boss in the Kansai Yakuza that has influence over the Martial Arts Industry in Japan.
Margo-oneechan gave the prize money for this tournament. Of course, Margo-oneechan’s sponsor gave it to her, but still Margo-san?
You see, women’s MMA tournaments are classed based on their weights. Then, the offer is three times the prize of ordinary tournaments on each class If that’s the case, then various athletes will come for the prize.
Furthermore, Margo-oneechan went behind the scenes and created the Super Unlimited Class Unlimited Class?
That Unlimited Class allows everything. Everything goes, for real. And, the championship prize for that is; Nei smiled.
It’s 30 million yen! thirty Million Yen.
Furthermore, it’s a winner takes all system, second place and below only gets a trophy and nothing else! What the hell?
If you don’t make that much impact, then you won’t get famous in this world. We’re not taking it slow here Nei said. Well yeah. Margo-san’s aim is to enter America’s martial arts show business in America as an indie. One of the goals is to gather sponsors to sell her name in Japan. She needs to gain fame as a martial artist and get talked about as fast as possible.
Well, as long as Margo-oneechan wins, that 30 million yen will just come back to her I get the theory, but still.
With that said, the Unlimited class has attracted well-known fighters from martial art dojos all over Japan in hopes of winning the 30 million yen! I’ve done a lot of advertising in various martial arts organizations and gyms! All the organizations are having a hard time running their business, so when they hear the prize money, they got interested! I’m sure that more confident fighters will jump at it without thinking twice! Then Margo-san and Nei’s plan was a hit, and strong names are participating?
We were cautious to pass on this tournament but it seems that there are a lot of athletes who came to see what a tournament with 30 million yen prize money is like I see. So that’s why there’s a good number of martial artists gathered at the venue.
Yes, I think that this is going to be a good and hot competition for Margo-san to make a name for herself Nei said, but.
But, Margo-san has to absolutely win against such strong players, right? I said. If she doesn’t become the champion in this tournament, then she can’t move to the next step.
Well yeah, she also has to get back the 30 million yen by all means Yes, for Margo-san and Nei, the prize money is just for the show. Can’t let other athletes take it away.
So, Nei-oneesan, uhm, is Edie and Haruka-san also going to compete in the unlimited class? Megu asks Nei.
No way, super unlimited class is only open to people with a reasonable amount of skill and sponsor endorsement, and squeezing Margo-oneechan it was already the best we can do Nei said. Yeah, Margo-san’s an unknown name in the martial arts world, and so being able to enter the 30 million prize money class is unusual.
I mean, there are also other classes, but it would be meaningless for everyone to enter the super unlimited class and beat up our allies Nei said laughing.
The goal for Team Kuromori today is to win all the classes Then that means.
Edie’s entering the 48Kg class, Haruka’s entering the 54Kg class, and Kendou Maria-chan’s entering the 60Kg class Oh, Tendou Otome(Now Kendou Maria,) has the heaviest one.
We’re also taking the prize money on that one since the prize money for the regular weight class is still higher than the regular tournaments. So those who couldn’t participate in super unlimited class but have good career and achievements will be there
Then that means, the only high school students competing are Edie and the girls? Edie’s in her first year, Haruka-san and Kendou Maria are in their third year.
No, there are others like them too Nei replied.
My, that’s something to look forward to. I’m interested to see how martial artists of my age fight Kuromiya-san said.
Uhm, do they have middle school combatants? The 14-year-old Mikuriya asks.
Nope! I mean, the organizer doesn’t accept such entries from middle schoolers Nei smiled wryly and said.
Oh, so that’s why Michi-san didn’t participate in the tournament Kuromiya-san is convinced. No, look, Michi’s in her third year in middle school, but. Michi’s vocation is to serve as Misuzu’s bodyguard and so she has no interest in martial arts tournaments. Michi remains quiet.
I’d like to participate in a tournament like this and compete with the best, but.
Motoko-ojousama, Gozensama will not allow that The younger bodyguard told her Master.
Indeed. Grandfather will not give his permission As expected, having a young lady of the nobility compete in a martial arts tournament will be a problem.
So, Ya-chan, what’s going on inside now? I asked Nei.
Well, the preliminaries of all the classes are over, and we’re moving over to the main event. We’re having a late lunch break now. The program got delayed in the morning after all Oh, I see.
Everyone’s in the waiting room. Want to check on them? Nei asked.
If it’s before their match, then they might be tensed out?
Oh, Haruka-chan and Maria-chan are. Edie and Margo-oneesan are cool
I want to see Aneue Michi said. She’s worried about her sister, Kudou Haruka
