An active hunter in Hokkaido was thrown into another world.
78. Brave Tournament
Well, that's why I did it. Surplast.
We have been patient with extermination in Elf Village for a long time, so lately we hardly ever leave the village with deer, raccoons, wolves and bears, etc.
We have more than doubled our hunting range in Elf Village, but still the hunting fruit is about half the size it was before.
"Is the amount of fur less than before?
"Yes. This is proof that the extermination in the village of Elf is going well. It's good."
When you put it that way, Grandpa Buy worries.
"So you guys are not up for business, then?"
"I'm not trying to be extravagant or rich apart from us."
"It's not about greed."
Because when you greed in a world like this, you get caught up in strange things.
"You might be able to increase your activity here for that matter."
"That would be appreciated"
Whenever I come here, both in Surplast and neighboring Topples, this is how I get rid of them.
"My young guys have changed their consciousness lately, and they've done a lot of extermination work. You guys have a lot of influence. But I knew it was still dangerous. He was attacked by a bunch of wolves, and one of them died."
... Really?
Hunters are next door to danger, after all.
"What are you going to do this time?
"No, I'm here to see this."
That's what I'm saying. Point to the poster on the guild.
King's Capital Coliseum Brave Tournament.
"Oh, is that what you're all about?"
We don't know anything about this world. I'd love to see what the top people in this world are fighting for and what magic there is.
I found this poster before and was going to watch it.
"I'm going to see that, too!
Mr. Bal will come down from somewhere and upstairs.
"Really? Good for you."
"Is that all you have to say... Because of this, why don't you tell me to come with you?"
"It's going to be some trouble."
"... we also do a Hunter Guild general meeting once a year to match this. You have to go out there. So you guys get in the carriage."
"Aren't you trying to get your escort bill for free?
"Did you find out? We leave tomorrow. If you have business, you have to do it by the end of the day."
Are you sure we're okay?
"Baristes will also ride"
"For free?
They said they'd be happy to be with you.
Yes, sir.
"Don't look so nasty. You guys have tickets to the arena?
"I'm thinking of buying a ticket for the day."
"You can't get that. It's an annual festival, isn't it? I've got something for you. Use it. That's your gala this time."
"Oh, thank you"
I can't say no anymore.
Too bad.
I will see the members of Baristes tomorrow, so I will also see Lord Surplast, Mr Killiff, by the end of the day.
Because they always tell me to show my face when I come. Because I'm a friend.
If we go, they'll ask us to exterminate it, but we can work, and the lord's stock goes up among the peasants, so it's a good relationship. Both Mr. Kirif and Mr. Faal will be asked to do so through the guild, so you can get a legitimate rating from the guild, and I appreciate it.
Anyway, it's better to feel safe and use the iron cannon.
"Nice... I want to go see it too"
Mr. Kirif seems envious.
"I'm too busy for that, and it's a hassle for me to show my face."
"Something troublesome?
"Then noblemen from all over the country are going to see it. There are plenty of aristocrats to send out your lead soldiers and knights. Proud for the aristocrats if the brave come out of their own embrace. I don't have them, and I'm not proud to show my face to a party every day."
I see. Says he's narrow shoulders for the weak aristocrats in the countryside.
"I don't think I'm going to be braver now. If you were about to let them work out with something like that, you should strive to develop your territory. Waste. Waste. I'm not interested."
"I thought you said you wanted to see it earlier."
No, Saran. I feel a little sorry for that scratch.
"Interesting as a monster. But I don't want to be an interested party. He just wants to see it if he can enjoy himself as a citizen. You guys have fun. Come on."
"Yes."
"Yes, Mr. Singh, why don't you show up in my arms? Sounds like a good place to go."
"I absolutely refuse"
"I will never forgive you for that -!!"
"Ha-ha."
He said I was dead when the guy with the gun didn't work.
I stayed at Affordable Lodging and went to the guild the next morning and the carriage was ready.
"Ooh, it's been a while!
"It's been a long time!
High-touch with the Bertiers of Team Baristes.
"Welcome to the Brave Men Tournament!
"Heh? Is anyone leaving?
"Is there anything wrong with that? You're not on the same level as us."
"Are you ready -! Okay, let's go!
You're in the mood, Mr. Bal.
Let's start with neighboring topples.
There's no such thing as a robber with two two-headed carriages full of bitchy men on board. I seem to be the weakest.
Arrive in Topples at night.
Still staying at Cheap Lodging here, and trying to leave in the morning, Lord Topples at the gate, Count Faal Las Haxbal......
"Sin, why don't you show your face!
"No, we're just trying to go watch the Brave Tournament..."
"Why don't you ask me out!
"You can't ask me out! It's noble! It's the Count! Think about your position for a second!
"It's an event that makes me look like a face anyway. I'm coming with you."
"Yes, yes..."
I wonder why you like this funny thing. Mr. Faal is.
Topples is one of the areas where we can safely use artillery. I'm taking on a lot of extermination work.
Mr. Faal, who should be in a central aristocratic carriage with two escort carriages for the lead soldiers back and forth.
I'm in a good mood for getting in our carriage on my own somehow.
"It's good!" or so I'm eating Saran's lunch with him.
"A big nobleman would put your knight in a brave tournament, wouldn't he?
"Right. I'm not interested in such futility at all, and there has to be one of us with such an arm."
"Isn't it the duty of the nobility to keep the lead soldiers to fight wars and demons?
"There's peace. I honestly think it's a wasted expense. In other words, this brave tournament is the collection of nobles' brilliance and stubbornness. This is going to be a big time. That cross wrench, who's been a brave man for five years in a row, has been shackled by scandals, hasn't it? We have to decide on a new brave man this year. All the leading nobles in the country are going to make their proud warriors appear."
"Heh."
"As a matter of fact, the king is also ungrateful. The church is that way, and the church knights don't have a winning candidate this year. I'd like to abolish this stuff already, if possible, but I can't stop because it's a festival that many of the people are looking forward to. Trouble."
Um, it must be one of the things you need to do to rule your country.
There are so many things I'd like to stop doing because even the office I was in has a budget, but it's hard to stop if it's an event that locals are looking forward to.
Same, right?
"How does it feel to be a brave man?"
"If you win, you become a brave man. With a royal palace. It is up to the patron nobles to take care of him, but the royal palace is obliged to fully back up the activities of the brave. What you have to do is stop the demon king from resurrecting and defeat that demon king when he is resurrected. I guess crusading demons everywhere is part of the job."
"What if I can't take him down?
"Strangely enough, the brave men who appear at the same time as the Demon King appears are strong enough to beat the Demon King. History is happening."
"What brave man when there is no demon king?
"Well, the strongest warrior in the country."
That's a strange story.
Well, I guess Mr. Nanotes is doing well in that area.
"Unfortunately, a demon king is regularly resurrected. We can't abolish the brave system."
I guess I need it as a deterrent.
"Anyway, it's the best event hosted by the kingdom. Even a freshman Count like me would show his face to a party, say hello to the other nobles, sell his face, and do every negotiation like a mountain. Unzari, but militant diplomacy is the one. I envy you guys who just enjoy watching the game with ease."
"That's sad."
"I'll be watching with the king from the VIP table. Trouble."
"Not an honorable thing?
"You're in the back. You don't have a chance to talk to a king like me. Ha ha."
That's such a relaxing journey to arrive in Wangdu.
"I'm not even a lady at my party, so I'm not cool with it. Mr. Saran, I want you to lend it to me. I'm so proud of you."
"I refuse"
"I'll get you the best dress."
"It's no good."
Saran is also bastard.
"Right. I'm not a man's wife."
Ha-ha-ha. Mr. Faal laughs.
"If you're the Count, you'll already have a fiancée."
"... don't say that. I don't like that kind of mend stuff. Come on."
It's sad. But now I'm a countess and I haven't decided on a fiancée. Because I'm single, and I'm a beautiful man. He's a good guy with no personality and he'll have good luck from now on.
"Bye!
Mr. Faal, who is in a good mood all the time, rides away in his carriage.
I wish you good luck, Mr. Faal, on your way to the battlefield of diplomacy in a sense to come.
"Hmm..."
Mr. Bal or Mr. Bertier exhale.
"You can often talk to the Count like that. We got so nervous, we couldn't talk."
Saran and Bertier were sitting on your podium side by side, and I was in the guest room with Mr. Faal and Mr. Bal.
……
I guess it's not a very good thing. I guess we should treat them with proper respect, too.
But Mr. Faal seemed to want a friend, and if I could be your friend, I'd like to hang out with you properly.
"Master Faal doesn't care about that, does he? He's gonna look at me with a sketchy eye, he's gonna say stupid things, he's gonna be funny."
Saran, what do you think of that...... Well, okay. We're all fans of Saran.
The carriages of the rich and highly stately gather in the King's Capital one after the other, and I think the bandits are raging, but we arrived in the King's Capital without any noise.
If you heck, there's likely to be a warrior in the brave class on board, so are there any of them attacking you?
We arrive before the Wang Du Hunter Guild. I'll keep the horse and carriage here.
"All right, you guys, that's it. Thank you for your time. I'll hand out the tickets."
I'll get Mr. Bal a ticket.
Tomorrow's qualifying round, the finals the day after tomorrow, aren't they falling apart!
"... well that was all I could prepare. Coordinate well with you guys."
That's not really the one.
"I'll be home the next day after the finals. Meet me here in the morning. Until then, look around as you please. Find your own lodging. Bye."
That's what I said, Mr. Bal, I went into the King's Capital Hunter Guild.
They have a general meeting. You're busy, aren't you?
"I want to see the finals at all costs."
"I want to see both."
"And Atashi."
"Agreed."
"What about Singh?
"Oh, we're good. Master Faal gave me a ticket."
"What's good, good, good -!!"
You just broke up with me. Is it a friend of the aristocracy to have?
"Damn, whoa, whoa! Why not!
"I don't care what you say, but we at Topples have a lot of extermination to do."
"He definitely cares about Saran. You guys be careful!
Am I right? Isn't it the same with you guys who care about Saran?
I'm used to it. Such a reaction.
It was harder to find an inn than that.
The city's almost filled with inns already, and it's all from lodging to lodging that's expensive.
Does that mean the King's Capital can't accommodate the guests of this many events?
Bertier's members have given up taking the inn with them and will be camping on temporary campgrounds outside the city.
Is it Nori like Summer Fest? Hey. It feels like barbecues and other things start everywhere and the night before the festivities.
We also cooked meat in front of the tent and had a lot of fun at the barbecue. I also have some groceries and stuff for times like this because what I put in my magic bag doesn't rot. I don't know what it is.
It's okay if me and Saran suddenly have to camp, but Mr. Bertier and the others seemed to have brought in a lot of stuff, and I'll fall asleep wrapped around the blanket.
We're tents. Because it's a couple.
Our tent stands out. It's a modern tent with an aluminum frame for four.
I bought it in a magic bag. I can't help noticing that this is all I have, so I'll put a big cloth on top. Well, there's nothing to deceive about this...
... Ladies and gentlemen of Baristes, why do you sleep all the way around our tent? I won't do anything about it. On a night like this...
Tomorrow qualification begins. I wonder what kind of people will come out. I'm looking forward to it.
