I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
124 Stories Gladiator Games Application
"All right, let's get you back on your mind and go find Lord Sergeant."
"Yes, Master Masal"
"I've wasted so much time."
I never wasted it, but I have money for a broken Mithrill silver dagger. He told me the cost was fine, but it still hurts. Why is it so expensive?
They can't even reuse metal if it smashes that far with magic. Tough.
"Precious metals are hard to dig."
"You dig?
"Let's dig that."
"With manpower? Magically?"
"Neither. Can Masaru magically and easily dig?
"Can we also find ore in Earth Sonar?
Mithrill, wouldn't you be able to make a lot of money if you could dig silver? Hmm, but if I can do it easily, I can naturally do other dirt mages. Plus, it's going to take a lot of time to develop mines and build villages, but how much easier can it be with magic?
Lilia doesn't seem to know much about this matter. I wonder if you are familiar with that parent elf if it is related to earthly magic. Shall I ask you when I get back in the elf so much?
"Mines are... dangerous."
Satti whined bosomly as she was listening in silence. Are you still dragging on the threat that slaves who can't sell to slave traders will die as soon as they are sent to the mine?
"Right. Better not do anything dangerous. I'll leave that to the experts, and if you want something, you can buy it."
"Yes. Me, you make good luck!
Satti's nice. Without the ruin of the world or something, hippo life might have been good.
The next business is the King's Capital Adventurer Alliance. Is that somewhat larger than the town of Siorii? Commercial guilds that are co-located are similar or dropped by. Like Miaga, I guess the big town means the army is strong and adventurers are less likely to turn up.
But the adventurers gathered were just as numerous as they were during the festival, and when I drew up the crowd and asked them at the reception, the Sergeant found them immediately. He said he was coaching at the guild's training ground.
"Sergeant!
"Oh, isn't it a masal? Did coming to Wang Du mean you were willing to participate in the gladiators' tournament?
He seemed to be coaching, but when I called, he interrupted and came over.
"Oh. Like I said before, that kind of thing is a bit. How's Satie? Want me to come out?
"Is that okay?
"Try it out. He's our party representative."
"Yes!"
"What a waste. You should be able to get to where you want to go."
"Well, you can't beat Satti no matter how it is if it's just a sword. Sergeant, why did you go to Wang Du?
"We teach tournaments every year."
I see. No other guild has more skill than the Sergeant. I mean, if you want to win, Sergeant, I feel like it would be quick if Lord Sergeant came out, but I guess that's not the point.
"I'm going to the Empire, and I thought I'd enjoy the festival. I plan to be over here during the festival. I'm staying..."
In the corner of the training ground so people don't ask. Introduce Lilia and briefly describe the situation. Of course not.
"I thought you'd be doing a great job soon..."
It was conveyed that it had become an A-rank, but it would have been more than expected to have just gone that way and become a lord without much, marrying an elf princess.
The Sergeant will be busy, and I asked him where he was staying, and he promised to come back, and he decided to go to the gladiators' tournament reception next. The gladiator tournament takes place in the arena, with two days of qualifying from the third day of the festival. Over the rest of the day, the main battle is held in two days.
The arena was a giant stadium of stone and circular shape as seen on Earth.
"A-rank seems to be a qualifying waiver, Master Masal."
Sati reported to me after hard reading the rules and recruitment requirements for the gladiators' tournament, which is affixed to the martial arts signs.
But you wouldn't assume Maggie's A-rank, and that doesn't apply because I'm somewhat of a Maggie. I can't.
The gladiator tournament is forbidden, of course, magic. However, only healing techniques and self-recovery are permitted.
The weapon can be speared, bowed, shielded or whatever it takes to pull the blade. Protective equipment even leathers. Head protective equipment can also be made of metal. Supplies are basic, but you can bring your own.
Stun, gibberish, or judge damage determines wins and losses.
There were other fine regulations, but this is more or less the case.
It sounds like a pretty bloody stinking tournament, but there are few accidents because a good healer refrains, it says. Very rarely. Yeah!
"Satie, are you sure? It's dangerous."
"I want out."
"I hope so."
"Aren't you eligible to participate? Then the concubine too."
"No Lilia. I need to at least be decent enough to do it with Syrah. No more or less magic, huh?
If you get pinched, the Spirit Defense will automatically activate and you lose against the rule. Sometimes I train.
Lilia's combat skills are only at Shield Level 1 so far. Swordsmanship is also being trained to get Level 1 on its own. I don't really make it through training, but the elves seem to think it's a long time and only a short period of about two months.
"Hmm. It sounds interesting."
From the source or is melee fun? I might be getting a little cerebral muscled.
"Let's support Satie."
Sati writes to the Participant Register at the reception. If it's about my name, I'll have fun already. Grown.
"You're in the B rank of Adventurer Alliance affiliation in the town of Siorii. And then if you have a background or appeal point,"
"Kakiki... api ru...?
"Yeah, Satie is the first to compete in the tournament. Is the point of appeal an all-rounder who is good at swords and bows?"
"... first appearance, an all-rounder good at swords and bows, and. Thank you. The qualifying combination will be affixed here and near the Arena Entrance Gate the same morning, so please check for yourself. Later, some votes predict the winner or the winner of each match, so you can buy them if you like."
"Can I buy that for myself?
"Of course it is. That's what you do if you're confident."
Wow. Maybe you could make a lot of money if you bet on Satie.
Vote tickets are a prediction of a breakthrough in the qualifying round. In this game, the winner per game. There seems to be some kind of winner prediction. Well, you can bet it all on Sati.
"Satie, you're going to win."
"Yes, I'll take care of it!
Don't be so sure you can get your pennies back!
That's it for the gladiator tournament. And then we need to find Krook and Silver.
I only heard the name of the inn I was staying in and the big mess location, so when I asked the store people while buying and eating at the stall, they called out to my less than happy child.
"Brothers, are you retreating to the inn?
"Oh. You know what a rain swallow tubasa pavilion is?
"I know! Over here."
I was just wondering if they would take me to a weird place and suck, but there couldn't be a one that could sell me a fight right now.
After a short walk following the child's guidance, the accommodation was immediately found.
Yes, and a child with hands. Guidance rent? In the meantime, I'll give you a piece of copper coin and you'll say, "Thanks!" and left. I thought it would be more demanding, but can I have one piece of copper coin (100 yen)? As always, children's fees are cheap.
When I asked at the inn, Krook and Silver were in the room. Tell me the room, knock on the door.
"Hey, it's me, it's Masal"
"Masal! Long time no see!
Soon Krook came out.
I don't think I've seen these guys' faces in a really long time.
"Sati, too. Uh, your daughter."
"I'll introduce you slowly."
Be niggardly.
Enter a small room with only two beds and sit in their own beds.
"It's about Massal. I'm not surprised what happens anymore."
Yeah, yeah, nodding silver.
"The girl must be a new daughter-in-law or something.
"Well, that's just a friend of Masal's."
Lilia removes the pastry and hood.
"Elves!?
"The concubine is the first princess of the Elves, Liliane Dora Betticoat Yamanos."
"Princess!?
"Krook's right, he's my new wife"
"Seriously!?
"Got an A-rank more"
"You're lying!?
"And I became a village lord. You'll be noble in a few years."
"Nobility!?
Krook opens his mouth to surprise too much.
"Happy Marriage"
Silver spoke softly.
"Thank you, Silver"
"What... is that it?
"Quite simply, when I went that way, the inside of the elf was attacked by demons and I helped it."
Repetition of the same story again. But you surprise me one way or the other, so it's the most fun I have to tell these guys.
"I can't even call you Masaru anymore..."
"Oh, come on, don't. Whether I'm A-ranked, lord and nobleman, or had a made-up mansion for five daughters-in-law, our friendship is forever, isn't it?
"Goddamn it! I should still have done something about it then!
"Ha ha, we'll always be opponents. I'm three times stronger than I was then."
"What triple... oh, you're going to a gladiator tournament?
"No, I'm not answering. Satie's leaving, though."
"Satie's strong, too."
"If you bet on Satie, you'll make a lot of money."
"Ooh!?
I'm eating up.
"Satie, do you think you can win?
I don't know. So far, I've never tried a stronger swordsman than Satti outside of His Sergeant, but when it comes to a big tournament...
"I think I can, but if you're worried, Sergeant, Lord Sergeant's here, and you want to ask me about the level of the tournament and the other participants"
"Mr. Lazard's leaving, too."
"Ho."
But unfortunately, Mr. Lazard will no longer be able to beat Satti. Hmm... no... what do you think? You never did it directly with Satie. You weren't supposed to be as serious when I fought before, and your strength is well measured. Even though I have C-rank, I also have dragon crusade experience and have the strength to be a B-rank for sure if I have any more great achievements.
He said, "I want a prize. I'm really going to win this tournament."
For a post-retirement life with Mr. Leeds?
Scary. Yeah. I should have gotten pretty strong too, but I don't feel like I can win at all.
"Are you guys not answering?
"Mulli mulli. You'll lose the first round of the qualifying round. Just go through the qualifying round and you'll get a pretty good prize. You have a high level of contestants."
Mm-hmm. You're starting to worry about Satie being able to win.
My allowance is on Satie.
"All right, Satie. Let's train until the tournament begins."
Three days till the tournament. Train carefully. Have the fatigue of the special training taken during the qualifying period. If you can't beat the qualifying round because of the fatigue of the special training, then neither can the main game.
I'll work out Sati as much as I can in three days. Enjoy the festival only after the tournament is over.
"Yes, good luck!
"That's what I'm leaving for now. I'm staying at the Elf Mansion in the aristocratic district during the festival, so come visit me anytime."
Admission to the aristocratic neighborhood is also said to go right through if you only let the entrance know the names of the visitors and they have ID cards like guild cards.
"Hmm. If you're a friend of Massal's, I'll welcome you."
"Elf's mansion in the aristocratic city! Looking forward to it!
We'll stop by the guild again on our way home and ask His Sergeant to do the same. You won't be able to do it all the time, but even if you can just deal with him for an hour or two, you'll be assured of Satie's experience. And then you're our militant generalist.
Ask the elves. There may still be users in the elves I haven't seen, and even a few Titos Class swordsmen would help a lot.
Do you want to use the golem too? Golem fighter with gear. I'm defensive, and I don't mind smashing it.
He stopped by the guild and asked His Sergeant to train Sati to take it on in two replies.
"Satti has just the strength to be a winning candidate, but don't lack experience in interpersonal matches. I'll teach you some useful moves tomorrow."
In terms of Mr. Lazard's prowess, technically I would have five minutes. The prediction is that Sati would be a little bit above it, but this also meant that it would not be easy to win given the lack of experience in interpersonal matches.
Well, I'm not answering and it's irrelevant. Let's get Satie to hang in there.
Everyone was already back when we went back to the Elf Mansion room, so I'm going to report to the gladiators' tournament first.
"So I'm going to train you until qualifying starts."
"We're going to win!
"This tournament is pretty level, but maybe Satie can win it."
"Has Mr. Olba never left?
"I heard you left a long time before you met me and lost the first round of the main battle. After that, I went to A-rank specializing in demon hunting, so I don't think you're interested anymore."
Even though he seemed pretty young, you lost the first round at Mr. Orba.
"Yes, yes. I saw Leven. If I'm going to train you, why don't you ask Leuven?"
Former Erie's party dawn battle axe shield role. Now you should be entering the magic school in Wangdu and learning as much as possible to be a wizard.
"Magic school's about to start, isn't it?
"I'm Reuven's magic master, aren't I? That's all you ask of me. Probably could take a break."
All right, all right. That's good. The Sergeant is supposed to be here tomorrow morning to put on an audition. What shall we do in the afternoon?
There is also training space here in the garden but it is a little small. Our mansion is bigger, and if the elves will come, it looks better that way.
Will will do it for a dime and get rid of it.
"Will, today's escort, it looks like he was doing it right. A little bit, but let's give him a reward. As I heard, we're gonna be busy with special training, so why don't you meet your buddy? I'll give you that money if you want to take an inn at one of my people's. If you got in a fight, you need to make up."
"I'm gonna help you with the special training, too, brother!
"Uh, that's..."
"Well, I may have very little I can do to help, but the instructor said I'd be training just to see it."
You want to do this over here today? Or is it a pain in the ass already, and you want to tell this guy about the gate? If you're going to go back and forth many times, it's hard unless you keep it a secret from this guy and even kick him out.
If it was about the gate, it wouldn't be a big secret compared to this guy being the prince of the empire.
"Will, I need you to just take it off because I have a secret conversation."
"Oh, yes."
Make sure Will leaves the hallway and start consulting.
"I'm going to tell him about the gate, too."
"Right. It'll be hard to keep it a secret if you use it again and again."
Ann immediately agreed.
"If you want a masal, that's fine. The elves are on the back now, and I don't think it's going to be that important when they find out."
I was going to publish it when it originally came to A-rank, and the point is that the problem is that individuals can use the gate, and if the state employs a metastasis technician, it's not easy to talk about it. If an empire or guild comes to know about the gate and says something, there shouldn't be any more if you say you work for the elves.
"Will will be fine. I miss Masaru very much."
"Honest and trustworthy."
Lilia and Tirica seem to have no objection either, so I call Will back.
"Don't ever divulge anything you're going to talk about right now, okay?
"Of course, if my brother says not to leak it, I'll never leak it, but something?
"I've decided to go back to the village now"
"Huh? Isn't my brother's village a long way from home? I don't care how fast Lilia flies."
"It's a moment to go back. I can use the gate."
"Seriously."
"You know it's bad if it leaks, right?
"That sounds awesome."
"Is that so bad?
"My brother is a free adventurer... but what is an elf?
"I'm not hired, but I'm cooperating"
"Still, you should keep your mouth shut. You're in trouble."
"Ellie said she'd be fine with A-rank."
"The Adventurer Guild will protect you, won't it? The guild did this?
"I don't."
"If you know it, it will protect you, but it will definitely be used."
I knew you would.
"It used to be like tying up a metastasizer with a slave print or assassinating him so he wouldn't be used by his enemies."
"Are you serious?"
"Well, the international situation is stable now, so it won't be that far..."
Absolutely better than I thought!
"But look, it's not uncommon to be more than the Prince of the Empire, is it?
"My grandfather would be happy to exchange gatekeepers with my life."
"Are you serious?"
"I can't run a big empire without that."
"I can use the gate, too. You can't tell anyone, can you?
"Both of you!?
"We're a talented bunch. They were all brought together by fate."
"Oh, is that fate?
Bad reaction. I knew it was destiny over here. Because you prefer girls.
"I'm wondering if the concubine might have."
"Me too!?
"To the bearer of a special power like Masaru, the princess of the elves, the prince of the empire happens to meet. It doesn't seem very coincidental."
"Sort of."
"When the concubine was born, with the blessing of the Spirit, she gave the prophecy that something would be accomplished in the future. With our power, we can save the world."
It was gibberish, but Lilia couldn't possibly know what was going on 20 years later. I'm just sayin 'with a hack. The story of Kako...
"Me too...?
"Bye. We were found in Massal. That's right."
Lilia, are you hungry to give me loyalty at once? But maybe it's not a bad time.
I nodded because Lilia and I met each other.
"You know what I mean, Will?
"When I was saved by my brother, he looked like a god. I was wondering if something would change if I followed my brother. You're right, I changed at the beginners' workshop."
"To that extent, it's at the beginning. Believe in the Massal."
"I believe you. Lord Sergeant used to say that, too. My brother and Satie are special."
"I was a normal, untouched beast man. But Master Masaru found me, and I gained talent."
"And magic?
"Magic and swords are all the powers Masaru has given me."
"Me too... Me too, magic?
"Believe in Masaru with all your heart. If you do, you'll get what you want."
But what is this? It's starting to look like a rally of emerging religions.
"Believe me! But I can't believe I'm magic..."
"Will."
"Yes, brother"
Stand up and stand in front of Will.
"Do you want power, magic?
"I want..."
What matters is the production.
"I can give strength to what I truly believed in. Just like I gave Sati, the beast man, magic."
[Miracle Light] Start chanting -
The room is wrapped in the pale light of magic. It would be so mysterious for the first time I saw it.
"This is..."
"If you truly believe in me, if you can, give me strength."
"The concubine believed. And I gained strength."
"I also believed in Master Masaru, and I got magic."
"Me too. Gate, the space magic you wanted."
"I also gained so much power, so much power to change the world"
How about that, Tirica?
"I, too, was given a comparable power by the Massal to the Great Cleric. This is God's protection. It's God's grace to pass through the Massal."
"God's...... grace?
"Will, what are you going to do? What do you want to do?
Quiet, gentle inquiry of a beautiful elf illuminated by light.
"Oh, I believe in my brother too!
"Enough to risk your life for Masaru? We're all ready for that, aren't we?
"Me too! If it's for my brother, I'll give up my life!
"Well done, Will!
Increase your magic. The room is surrounded by dazzling light around me.
The menu opened. Seriously.
"Then let us give you strength."
[Miracle Light] is activated, a light that can be bounced.
Manipulate the menu to take life magic and magic sensing.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!? I feel it, I feel it!
"That's right. That's magic. You have the power to manipulate magic."
"Oh, oh... brother, no..."
"Try it. The magic of the lights should work now."
"Yes, sir"
Will's [light] activated.
"Oh, really... I do magic... Ugh..."
"Yeah. Good for you, Will"
I'll pound Will's shoulder when I'm so impressed I cried.
"I thought it was another push."
Lilia shrugged in a small voice that Will wouldn't hear.
Could it be that Will and I were just talking, confirming that...
