Chapter 29
Joanie and the mysterious figure faced off with serious expressions as they clashed swords.

Isn’t that why they can hold their own against the mysterious figure?
“Hah… Ya!”
With a bizarre battle cry, Joanie swung her sword vigorously.
The mysterious figure easily blocked the incoming sword aimed at their chest and stepped back a couple of paces.
