Down on the ground, a slash targeting Daisy’s legs. She sidestepped the sword strokes. Her opponent was crouched low, so Daisy attempted to do a low kick. Her target was her opponent’s forehead, but she ended up hitting something else. Although she hit the forehead of her opponent, the strike also bounced off something hard. Her legs felt numb. From the ground, a thrust aimed at Magical Daisy’s throat. Daisy avoided it, at the cost of her shoulders getting stabbed.
Though they were distant. The slices seemed to be controlled by the sword.
Daisy squatted down, and slid towards her opponent. They entangled together, causing her opponent to lose hold of the sword. Their legs were wrapped together, and they were grasping each other’s arms, holding their unseen opponent.
Daisy could feel that this was the skin of a Magical Girl. This was the skill of a veteran fighter. She knew she was fighting someone like her. Even while fighting, she felt like she could win.
Daisy managed to get the upper hand, throwing her opponent off of her by the sleeves. Just before her opponent landed on the ground, she swept her off her feet, and Daisy fell as well.
“Haha!”
Her opponent laughed, and Daisy gritted her teeth while smiling.
Elbow strike, fists trading punches, knees hitting bodies, then, as arms reached out towards Daisy’s throat Dais kicked hard. She distanced herself. Her body heated up. Gradually, she became excited.
Come on… Come on!!! What’s your next move, huh?
Gradually, the smoke disappeared. The winds stroked the ground. It blew away any clouds on them. Only Magical Daisy was standing there.
“...Huh?”
Did her opponent escape? Well, that’s a good thing, right?
...Right?
She was feeling… rather lonely out here. She felt the wound on her shoulder. Despite being hurt, she couldn’t deny that she felt satisfaction during that fight. Although they couldn’t see each other, Magical Daisy enjoyed fighting someone of equal skill. She was certain her opponent enjoyed it too.
“You are not the Musician.”
Daisy heard a voice from somewhere. She looked around, but she couldn’t find the source. She didn’t understand what it meant either. Her opponent was definitely a Magical Girl, she was sure of it.
