It was the instant Rigel's shout shook the arena.
Amelia did not even reply and stepped in as if entrusting her body to a path of wind.
She had not discarded her sword.
But her stance had quietly switched to that of one who chose "fist" over blade.
"Here I go! Daaaaah!! Super Ultra Royal Punch!!!"
The name of a finishing move that flew from the princess's mouth.
An "eh?" air spread like a wave.
But that wave was immediately swallowed by cheers.
The fist ran.
Air split, shadow was left behind.
And then a dry sound.
Amelia's fist was driven into Rigel's face without an inch of error.
Even so Rigel did not move.
He did not fall.
He did not even sway.
"…Is this your full power?"
Rigel's voice was low and slightly pained.
At that question Amelia averted her gaze.
Then she lowered the corner of her brow slightly and answered.
"U-um… For now… yes."
The two's conversation was a small voice of only the mouths moving.
