“Oh well. Let’s begin before you lose what little spirit you have – hmm!?”
Lady Yuzuriha leaps at me.
She closes the distance with tremendous speed.
Clearly faster than Suzuha.
That surprises me.
“Wow. It’s shaking…… ”
Because Lady Yuzuriha has the ideal tall, toned body of a female knight.
Even an amateur like me can tell.
However, her chest area was gifted with two gigantic melons rivaling giant watermelons.
Suzuha is super busty too, but about on par with her.
So I assumed she’d be slower, weighed down up there.
Yet Lady Yuzuriha is charging in fast, unhindered by her heavy chest.
Her tightly pressed breast meat flails wildly with the momentum.
“…Ah.”
Distracted by such foolish thoughts, Lady Yuzuriha is already upon me.
She must not have considered holding back one bit.
My body instinctively realizes I stand no chance whatsoever against this man.
Lady Yuzuriha throws a full power straight punch. Her killer blow slides squarely into my face.
3 (Yuzuriha POV)
Yuzuriha Sakuragi, better known by her fearsome nicknames like Killing Goddess and Battle Goddess, was a legendary figure respected as the Goddess of Victory by allies and feared like the Grim Reaper by foes.
Her goddess-like beauty and demonic combat ability fully warranted those nicknames.
As the first daughter of the Sakuragi Duke family, Yuzuriha first commanded forces on the battlefield at age ten. By the time she enrolled in the Royal Academy for Strongest Female Knights at fifteen, she had slain over one hundred thousand enemy soldiers.
The combat entrance exam for the academy was a one-on-one match against a top ranked knight. It had been a tradition for hundreds of years, with the unspoken implication that examiners must not lose face by falling to an applicant.
It was clear that the school intended to cause a great deal of embarrassment if the examiners were to be defeated.
Yuzuriha broke that tradition –
she defeated the examiner knight.
Everyone was shocked and praised her as expected of Yuzuriha.
She was nominated student council president in her first year as a matter of course, and continued her winning streak in all subsequent exams at the academy.
But she did not stop training, even while easily surpassing each challenge.
Now further grown, she had started seriously considering that she might be the strongest in the world.
Yet.
(It didn’t work!? No, more than that–!)
A full force face punch as greeting.
A blow that could destroy castle gates in one hit – Yuzuriha’s killer technique.
But since he was Suzuha’s so admired brother, she assumed he could easily dodge it.
Yet
(instead of evading, he took the punch head-on, no problem…!?)
In terms of victory, this one hit had already decided the match.
Yuzuriha’s instincts unconsciously conceded total defeat against this man.
Her whole body shook.
It was the primal human instinct that surfaced upon encountering an overwhelming superior for the first time – an absolute strongman who is far, far above her.
Now it’s Yuzuriha’s turn to experience the primal fear triggered by survival instincts, a fear she had unconsciously instilled in countless enemy soldiers she faced and in her allies who witnessed her strength. That’s all there is to it. The realization that she was the weak one.
At the same time, an equally primal feminine desire took root in the depths of Yuzuriha’s soul.
The wild instinct to be the mate of a strong man, furthermore one vastly exceeding her own capabilities.

And in that state, Suzuha’s brother added insult to injury with his words.
“Um… Are we done already?”
“Ngh–!?”
As Suzuha’s brother, he was just confirming if one ineffective punch was enough for Yuzuriha.

Honestly, he thought this might be enough for the promised reward already.
But to Yuzuriha, it was a clear provocation saying she could only throw one punch.
I felt a penetrating glare as if I were nothing more than someone who could only throw a single punch,
Of course, it was a clear misunderstanding.
“Th-that’s not true!!”
Yuzuriha unleashed a flurry of attacks,
high kicks, back fists, feints, eye gouges, joint locks––
each strike was the culmination of Yuzuriha’s life, a perfect hit.
In a state of extreme focus, it seemed like Yuzuriha’s spirit had pulled out every ounce of strength she had been holding back in her sleep, delivering a series of soulful blows.
However.
Despite all those various attacks, not a single strike could land on Suzuha’s elder brother.

Ever since the day Yuzuriha-san came and beat me up, a few days have passed.
“Hey, Suzuha, we’re having hamburgers today.”
“Yay! I love big brother’s hamburgers, the texture of the meat is so good.”
“It’s a special coarse ground hamburger, you know.”
During our family dinner, Yuzuriha-san showed up again,
this time with a new character, an older man.
“Good evening, Yuzuriha-san. Um, who is that gentleman over there?”
“I am Yuzuriha’s fath—distant relative, that is.”
Her father! he was about to say that!
This middle-aged man, looking like a typical aristocrat, must be Yuzuriha-san’s father.
Is he from one of the three major ducal families in this country…?
“Oh, I’m just a distant relative of Yuzuriha, no need for formalities.”
He stopped me from attempting a jumping bow, saying so with a smile.
“You can call me Arthur, no need for any formalities.”
Arthur? Isn’t that the current head of the Sakuragi Ducal family!
Even a commoner like me knows how famous he is!
“Yuzuriha-san, what exactly is going on here…?”
I give Yuzuriha-san a sidelong glance, and she responds with a wry smile,
“Well, well, Suzuha-kun’s elder brother? It’s just as I said, there’s no need to worry about us. I’m just a student, with no ties to nobility or commoners, and my father—Arthur-dono here—also says there’s no need for concern.”
“I see…”
Honestly, that’s a relief.
I don’t want to risk being accused of disrespect.
That said, we can’t just ignore our hospitality duties in front of such prominent nobles.
“Um, we’re having hamburgers for dinner. Would you like to join us?”
“I’ll have some.”
Straightforward, wasn’t he?
But, he’s the head of a major aristocratic family, right? Is it okay not to taste-test the food?
“Suzuha-kun’s elder brother, don’t worry about me or my father. Even as the head of a major aristocratic family, when going to the battlefield, there’s no time for taste-testing. So, we don’t do that regularly.”
“Please don’t read my thoughts.”
And also, he’s not the head of a major aristocratic family; he’s just a distant relative.
They seem to have forgotten that.
Surprisingly, our homemade hamburgers were a huge hit.
The Duke shouted, “Delicious! So delicious!” while devouring them and even asked for seconds. Yuzuriha-san, with a bow, apologized, and also went for seconds.
As a result, the extra hamburgers I had prepared for Suzuha were completely gone.
Suzuha, with teary eyes, glared at the two, but the Duke completely ignored her, and Yuzuriha-san averted her gaze, whistling casually.
Well, it turned out that our meal was appreciated by the unexpected guests.
“Pheeew, it’s been a while since I ate this much.”
In high spirits, the Duke patted his belly. I decided to inquire about the reason for their visit.
“So, what brings you to our house today?”
“Well, about that.”
As if he just remembered, the Duke turned to me.
“I heard there’s a man who defeated my daughter—Yuzuriha.”
“…Huh?”
“I’m not bragging, but my daughter—Yuzuriha is the strongest and the cutest in the world. She won’t marry a commoner!”
“Wa-wait a minute, Father!?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
It’s an objective fact that Yuzuriha is incredibly strong and pretty, and it’s natural for a father to feel that way.
Yuzuriha-san blushed and protested, but her father continued.
“However, there’s a man who won against girl without even putting up a fight. That’s something I couldn’t ignore, so I came here to see that man with my own eyes.”
“…Huh?”
Certainly, a few days ago, Yuzuriha and I had some sort of competition.
Or at least, from my perspective, Yuzuriha unilaterally beat the crap out of me.
In the end, she ran away crying, leaving me confused and unsure about what the hell just happened.
“Wait, I was just getting beaten up, right?”
“Oh, come on. You really don’t get it,”
Yuzuriha shrugged, seemingly indifferent to my valid protests.
Ignoring the fact that she was beating up other people, her attitude was questionable.
“Listen, Suzuha’s big brother? You’re the only one in the world who can take a beating from me and come out unscathed. My full-power punch could easily take down even a high-level knight.”
“Why are you doing this to a commoner!?”
Setting aside Yuzuriha’s mysterious confidence in her attack power, I just wanted to say that it’s not cool to use such dangerous attacks on others.
In response to my justified protests, Yuzuriha panicked and said
“Look, Suzuha’s big brother, I thought you could handle it. And you did, right?”
“Well, that’s hindsight for you.”
“Results matter! I’m a member of a major noble family, and results are always expected from me.”
“How cute, right?” Yuzuriha-san says, puffing out her chest proudly. I respond with a half-hearted agreement.
I feel like the topic has been shifted, but I don’t have the guts to argue with a noble. Let’s just forget what slipped out of my mouth.
“So, what exactly should I do?”
I ask, seeking a conclusion. Yuzuriha-san immediately answers as if she had anticipated the question.
“I hear that Suzuha-kun’s elder brother is still training Suzuha-kun. I’d like to see that.”
