"I received your request."
Ronnie rendezvoused with his hands to his left and right.
"I didn't introduce myself again. It's Ronnie, the S-rank adventurer."
“I'm Zed. The rank is also S, and this is Quena."
“Yeah, we both know that. Zeid is a ringer and he hears stories both inside and outside the guild. How bad it is, but..."
My ears hurt a lot.
Then Ronnie held out one hand with her index finger.
“If we go this way, we don't have to be seen too much.”
Then the three of them walk side by side.
Ronnie is right, it doesn't seem to be popular at all.
"So what do you want to know about the feast?"
First of all, I'd like to know when it's over.
"If all goes well, it'll be over in a week."
You're pretty quick, aren't you?
Ronnie's answer was unexpected.
Because it was a street that didn't give off much of a festive aura. I thought that the festival in my image would be more lively or could be heard from people's mouths.
"It's simply a matter of deciding which young people are the best." If we can just fight, we can do better. "
As a matter of course, I have shown a violent side.
is smiling and making a clasp with both hands and tapping each other.
“Speaking of which, why do you decide to vote?”
"It's because of the death on the old festival." Kids are hot, so it's up to the vote to have an adult mediator. ”
"...... I'm sorry to hear that."
You should definitely stop doing that.
But even then, it's likely that there will still be a grudge after the vote. I guess I could adjust it somehow.
"No, I actually thought I was pussy." Even a tournament where we can actually fight each other directly at the Chengdu Festival is a team fight. "
Group battles? What kind of battles are those?
“We're going to fight five-to-five on the dome with the audience in it. It seems that this is also because it is not too hot."
Ronnie gulped out his mouth boringly. In her opinion, Tyman seems to be the only one who wants it.
"But you fight a bee five to five, right? Even in multiple battles, it seems to overheat.
"If that happens, other Beastmen will be stopped as well." Besides, the goal is to reduce the number of people who die. "
Besides, Ronnie continued.
"The point here is, who did you bring?"
"Does that mean that there is a purpose to make the majesty known?"
"Yes, the most important thing at the Chengdu Festival is to collect votes." So if you bring in someone stronger, it's easier to be recognized. In the end, if we don't win, it's a mess. "
I thought it would be okay if it was one-on-one, but if there is such a purpose, I'm convinced.
"If Zid didn't hate me, I wanted you to fight with me."
Ronnie spoke sparingly.
It would have been helpful if I had been able to join.
But unfortunately, I'm a Beastman, or a continent-wide loathe. If she joins her team, the vote will fall.
"If I hadn't been hated, I'd have wanted to join you."...... I may be sorry to hear this, but are we going to win? "
It's finally time to get down to business.
Even if I knew the details of the sacrifice, there was no point if the Holy Sword could not be retrieved.
I don't want Ronnie to win.
"You can win. The battle has begun, except for the Chengdu Festival tournament." Instead, what kind of activities do you usually do and how much strength do you appeal to? That's what I'm talking about. "
"In that regard, Ronnie seems to have no problem because he is an S rank." But it was Zvis, wasn't it? You're the protector, aren't you? It's not supposed to be pretty strong. "
Quena asks a question.
"He was only added to the protective hand by his parents."
Ronnie continued, making a fool of herself.
"Originally, the best warriors were all Lions." That's why I had the ability to speak out, and I had protection from my youth. "
Speaking of which, there was a protective man near the best warrior, Otoma, who was looking after Zuvis.
Although he did not have a similar appearance to his parents and children, he was close to them because he was sending a strict line of sight.
"The truth is, only the chosen one can protect you."
"The one you're picking? Even Ronnie of S rank is not a protector, is he?"
"I just don't like being called Seven Lights."
I remember calling Oitma my father.
I guess that's why I was hostile to Zvis, who had become a defender.
So, how can I be a protector?
"There are many things." Get direct nominations from the best fighters and a number of recommendations from the Guardians. I hope there are other results that show strength. "
S rank or something?
"That's right." I have the strength to be the best warrior I can be. But even the S-rank adventurer is still said to owe it to his parents. ”
Openly expose disgruntled attitudes.
Quena was also sending a sympathetic gaze.
"I don't think the guild would commit such a fraud." The S rank is like a face. One mistake can destroy the trust of the entire guild. "
"You're right!"...... but if you win this time at the Cheng Festival, you'll officially become a defender. "
Is there a prize if I win?
"Hmm, that's it." Get direct recommendations from the best warriors. And there was no shortage of results. That's why at this Inaugural Festival, you will become a protective hand and surpass your father. "
Ronnie talks happily.
Innocent children chasing their dreams overlapped.
"Well, if it seems like I can win, that's fine." I'll take care of you. "
Leave it to me! Help each other on the same adventurer.
Ronnie grabbed her right arm and grabbed it with her left hand, making a brave bump.
Sure enough, find the front door down the alley.
What's that?
There was a back door and a back door, but it was obviously decorated to assume that it would come and go as it normally would. Above all, it shows the existence of the bulletin board as the main gate.
”Ahhh... that's a beast hangout that makes magic items”
Ronnie frowned openly.
"Hey, isn't that interesting?" But why are you here? "
"It's probably because it's not selling very well." In the first place, magic items are made by the weak to sell flirtation. ”
"Selling flirts..." Magic items improve your quality of life and help you in battle. Why do you seem to hate it so much? "
"- Zed."
Quena called me by my name, embarrassed.
These are usually the sounds I make when I say something I shouldn't say.
“You don't have to worry about it. The Beastmen hate magic items... no, they hate the weak."
There was shadow and anger on his face.
This must have been something I shouldn't have heard.
However, Ronnie quickly returned to his sarcastic expression.
Does Zido know much about the history of the Beastmen?
“Yeah, this guy lacks a lot of common sense.”
"It's like studying." I'm sorry if there was a coarse face. "
"It's okay." It's not a rough fight to turn down a brave man. "
I see, that's the way it is.
On the other hand, the Beast Man clan can remain ignorant as they please.
In a sense, it may be heaven.
A sword is falling over my head while I'm thinking about it. A small tingling sound reaches my ears.
"I'm not convinced. It's ironic."
"I'm sorry..."
If I hadn't been scolded, I'd be on my feet.
Well, I'll teach you not to let such a Zeed mess up again.
Cross the shop of magic items.
"The Beastmen were once weak."
Later, Ronnie's story was a simplification of history.
Once upon a time, the Beastmen were exhausted from war with the humans and demons. At the peak of the race feud, the Humans took advantage of the magic items.
[Slave Collar] [Monster Crystal]... and many other magic items.
Nowadays, it's all abominations among the humans. In fact, it is even forbidden.
And they were also used by the Beastmen.
That's why Ronnie hates magic items.
Even "weakness" that takes away such dignity, freedom, and peace.
"That's why it's better not to stand out among the Beastmen and defend the [weak] and [magic items]." You got it? You turned down the brave, Mr. Zid. "
"... hmmm"
It is certainly better not to even speak on emotional grounds.
But it got caught.
I thought they were never bad.
But.
I had a problem before I could say it.
Gahhhh!
I could hear multiple Augur chants.
They were in the midst of the city of the Beastmen.
“Talk is another chance! I'm headed for the crusade!”
That said, Ronnie rushed out.
Looks like the request started unexpectedly. Speaking of saving you the trouble of going to the woods, the city's beasts are in danger.
What do we do?
"Let's go, too."
Yeah.
Quena nods as she waits for my answer.
