Letasreit vs. Mrs. Astres.

Or Miss Bean Crush vs. Demon General.

The tension builds as their match continues.

Mrs. Astres continues to unleash a barrage of shockwaves, leaving Letasreit with no choice but to maintain a defensive stance from a safe distance.

There’s nothing else she can do.

Because in the face of those ranged attacks, Letasreit is at a loss for any countermove.

This situation highlights a critical flaw in her battle style.

Letasreit relies solely on her brute strength, meaning she only has physical means of attack.

In other words, she can only affect what’s within arm’s or leg’s reach.

If only she had even one magic spell or perhaps a long-range weapon, the situation might have been different. But since this is a wrestling match, using weapons is forbidden.

She seems to be at a complete disadvantage.

Though, using sonic booms in a wrestling match seems pretty borderline questionable, too, Mrs. Astres.

“Whether it’s flashy or not, I take the surest path to victory. That’s why I was the undefeated general in the army.”

“You’re amazing, Mother!”

“Yes, Goetia, your mother was a remarkable commander in the demon army.”

Even Goetia, initially unsure, now buzzes with excitement, seeing his mother’s unexpected prowess.

The sight of his talented mother seems to be a huge hit with the earnest boy.

On the other hand, Horkosfon’s right knee is shaking non-stop.

“What a low tactic. This match is so drab and monotonous that the crowd isn’t thrilled at all. Should I intervene and shake things up...?!”

“Huff, huff...!”

Horkosfon, ready to charge into the ring with her mana cannon, is held back just in time by Junior.

I mean, Letasreit’s comeback is just about to begin. She’d be missing out if she didn’t watch it unfold.

I know her well.

I’ve taken care of her since she was left at the farm.

I’m well aware of how fiercely Letasreit can fight when backed into a corner.

There’s no way she’s just going to accept defeat in this situation.

The solution is simple.

If the opponent uses projectiles, then she should, too.

An eye for an eye.

If only she had a similar range of attack, she could easily turn the tables.

Hm?

Her lack of range is the issue, you say?

I wouldn’t be quick to jump to conclusions if I were you.

She’s the type to evolve during battle.

“Bean Flick!”

“What?!”

Something shot from Letasreit’s hand, colliding and neutralizing the shockwave.

It was a bean.

It’s the roasted beans she’d been scattering for the fans before the match.

She still had some with her and flicked one with enough force to make it act like a bullet, almost like an assassin.

A bean, when flicked with Letasreit’s immense strength, becomes a projectile powerful enough to rival the shockwave.

The sharp popping noise resonates in the air.

“Kuh! The shockwave was countered?!”

“Here I come!”

Letasreit charges.

In her panic, Mrs. Astres tried to unleash a barrage of shockwaves, but each one was shot down by the bean flicks, rendering them ineffective.

Finally, they close in on each other!

Once they grapple, the stronger Letasreit is unmatched.

In a swift move, she locks Mrs. Astres into a wrestling hold.

“Screw Bean Driver!”

She whirls around like a tornado, driving Mrs. Astres’s head into the mat!

This match is settled!

She pins her for the count - one, two, three, four!

Victory for Letasreit!!!

“Mother?!”

Goetia is shocked by his mother’s defeat.

The idea of his seemingly invincible parents being defeated is unimaginable to the young boy.

And now, the Demon King, Goetia’s father, steps forward...!

“That was an astounding match!!!” he declares grandly. “That was a bout where both gave their all, using every ounce of their skills and wits! Goetia, don’t regret losses! A battle where both give their all, regardless of the outcome, is something to be celebrated!!!”

“Y-Yes, Father!”

The Demon King sure has a way of summing things up.

“Second of the top assassins defeated! Even the Demon General fell to Miss Bean Crush! YEEEAHHHHHHHH!!!”

Letasreit roars in triumph.

But the battle isn’t over yet; a formidable opponent still awaits.

“Hmhmhm... I always believed you’d be worthy prey. You weren’t going to fall to those warm-up acts. After all, it’s your duty to entertain me.”

My wife reels off lines that scream ‘villain,’ making me blush as I listen.

“So, you’re my final challenger in the Mask-Ripping Deathmatch?”

“Do you know any other woman more fitting to be the final boss than me? ...Heh, looking at this does bring back memories, doesn’t it? Those days when I used to whoop your scrawny self...”

“I’m not the same person from back then! I’ve got the power of beans now, and I can beat you for sure!!!”

Come to think of it, it’s nostalgic to recall when Letasreit first arrived at the farm.

She was such a spoiled princess, always getting smacked around by Platy every time she mouthed off.

And now, she’s taking initiatives, contributing to the community...!

People sure do grow, huh?

“If you can beat me, I’ll acknowledge that your growth is genuine. But surpassing me won’t be easy, you know?”

The masked Platy is... floating?

Why is my wife suddenly levitating out of nowhere?

“Do you think that just because you’ve grown, I haven’t grown in the same way? I’m completely different from the me of the past, like being able to use solmization magic I learned from Mom...!”

Oh right.

The merfolk’s most potent and dreaded magic... solmization magic.

It’s said to be so powerful that the Sea God Poseidon took it away from them.

But Platy, having been taught this by her mother, is capable of this catastrophic magic, too!!!

It’s often forgotten because there’s rarely a need for it.

The farm is already overpowered by the likes of Veil, Sensei, and the orc-goblin team.

But with solmization magic, Platy might be on par with Sensei and Veil.

“Boeh~”

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Just a single note from Platy’s chant sends Letasreit flying out of the ring?!

Is this even wrestling anymore?!

“Boeh~”
