"Main branch, Meira. Main branch, Bernard. Are you ready?"
The referee asks Miss and the man standing in front of her.
The man, Bernard, is one of Miss's younger brothers.
He's the Eight Young Master of the Maed House.
He's thirteen years old and Peak Martial Acolyte.
According to Mommy, Miss who is a Third Stage Martial Apprentice should have no problems dealing with Mister Bernard.
"As always!"
"... Sure."
The referee looks at Mister Bernard who energetically answered then on Miss who couldn't bother to answer and sighs.
His sighs are getting longer and longer.
"Fight!"
He shouts.
The moment he starts the fight, Mister Bernard pounces at Miss.
A blue string is coiling around his hand.
... Water?
Miss, that's water! Watch out!
I close my eye in a worry.
Then, I hear Bang! followed by ssssss, and then "Ghuooo!"
... That didn't sound like a noise Miss would make.
... Or is it?
I open my eye to confirm Miss's safety.
As I have expected, the one who made that ungirly noise was Mister Bernard.

I knew it wasn't Miss! Really!
Mister Bernard lies on the ground, unmoving with a red fist print on his cheek.
Miss stands in the arena, wiping her hands with a handkerchief.
"... Winner, Main branch Meira!" The referee sighs and announces Miss's victory.
Yaay! Two wins for my Miss!
If she wins six more times, she will be in finals!
Amazing! Splendid! Wonderful!
My Miss is so cool!
.........
Not being able to contain my enthusiasm, I jump at Miss the moment she walks into the room.
Latifa, you always remind yourself to act like a maid you are, yet you still jump into the embrace of your Master...
I scold myself.
I'm just glad that Miss became so tolerant of me.
I'm worried that if Miss weren't Miss, she would punish me straight away.
The competition kept on going.
Four matches later, Miss, Miss Tinesia, and Miss Eleanor kept on winning.
Of course, Miss Fantasia effortlessly slapped her opponents off of the arena too.
With some weird bad luck, Miss has faced her brothers every fight.
It's really weird that Miss was the only one to face more than one main branch member in this competition.
There are six people left in the competition.
The Second Young Master Godfry,
The Second Miss Fantasia,
The Third Miss Tinesia,
The Fourth Miss Eleanor,
Miss,
and Mister Taima.
Mister Taima is the only Off Branch member who got so far in the competition.
Ah, First Young Master and First Miss are apparently too old to enter the competition.
While the Seventh Miss, the youngest of Miss's sisters and Ninth, and Tenth Young Masters, the youngest of Miss's brothers are apparently too young for the competition
Fifth Miss, Fourth Young Master, Sixth Young Master, and Seventh Young Master were all defeated by Miss.
If Miss wins the next match, she will enter the final round, in which the three top fighters will fight each other, and the one with the most wins will be crowned as the victor of this year's competition.
I just hope that Miss's next opponent isn't going to be,
"Next match! Main Branch, Eleanor. Main Branch, Meira!"
... Miss Eleanor.
