Tenji was slightly puzzled by her statement that she wanted to return the points.
I'm glad to hear that. But that point was undoubtedly the result she had won in this qualifying, and Tenge had no reason to force her to return it. No matter how it is acquired, the result will not be so masked.
To keep Lotus does not allow such a private judgment.
"I don't really want that." It was also my fault for overbelieving in the characteristics of the ancient cage fire [Koroka]. "
"No, this is my selfish little pride."
Selfish?
"Even if I get to the main event with a point taken from my friend, I won't be happy from the bottom of my heart." Mizue-kun finally introduced me to his esteemed master... and I finally made it here. I couldn't do anything, but I was brought up on the same stage as everyone else. And yet, I don't want to cheat because it's not the right thing to do-- "
When he clenched his fist, Tachibana lightly struck Tenji's chest with her fist.
She had a sophisticated expression on her face. That's how I say it vigorously.
“I definitely want to be a professional. I don't want to beat either Mizue or Tenji, I'm going to be the best Explorer. Make sure you get the trigger at this tournament. That's why I'm not cheating."
I found it impossible to deny her feelings any more.
Tachibana was so serious. However, whether it can be accomplished is another story.
Tenji opened his mouth so that this place could be broken.
Alright, let's talk to the Superintendent Pro Explorer.
† † †
Hmm, I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
When the two returned to the surveillance camera with the microphone that had been equipped to accompany the gift dropped yesterday, they consulted with the professional explorer in charge of this final qualification, Lotus Tsubaki.
Although they didn't see each other, they were able to communicate through the speakers that came with the camera. Tachibana Kaori told me why she wanted to return the points so that I wouldn't touch Tenji's ancient cage fire.
However, the response did not meet her expectations.
Tachibana gives an airy smile as she shrinks down like a puppy.
"That's right. I'm sorry I've gone too far.”
"I'm sorry." I want to do what I want when I think about the athlete's feelings, but from the point of view of the fans who are watching, fluctuations in points that don't make sense can lead to confusion. In that sense, it is my judgment that I will not be able to fulfill your wishes at this time. "
"No, I was going to understand... but I didn't think of it."
However, if you were in close contact with the higher ranks at the final point, I could put you in the right position considering your score. If you still want me to do that, I'll keep it in my mind. "
"...... Thank you very much."
"Okay. If you don't change your mind, I'll do it." It's late at night, and the athletes need to get some rest until tomorrow's start time! Ensuring proper rest is fundamental to being an Explorer. Yes, I slept! I slept!! ”
Thereupon, the communication with Lotus Koi was terminated.
Tachibana, with a slightly sorry expression, slowly turned her head to the tenge behind her.
I'm sorry, Tenji-kun.
Tenge rushed to raise the vain head of such a friend.
"There's no need to apologize, I'm glad you're feeling that way." That's why -- to get rid of this sadness, make sure that Tachibana-san gets up for the main election. Let's fight there. Let's compete fair and square on that big stage. ”
“That's right, I'll keep it that way!”
Then Tenge talked to her for a bit.
What kind of mentor did she train to use her abilities? I don't think she was the one who lectured me how to use the first generation she didn't know before. Why didn't you take the Chariot entrance exam this year?
There was a story to be solicited, but the two of them took a short rest.
After that, Tenji stayed up a little late.
I rethought my situation where I had not been able to get a point lead in addition to my thoughts.
The answer to that was simple.
"From tomorrow on, I will spare no expense." I'm going to show my strengths to the full. "

― ― The final qualifying venue is Fujinomiya City. The heart of past disasters.
Without a sound, a man skips lightly through the dark forest.
The corner of his mouth was rising all the time, and he was walking through the woods like a dancing clown. Dressed in a cute black suit in the dark, he dances and dances as if he thinks this is a different stage in the social world.
Suddenly, the man stopped at a spot where the moonlight was shining.
At the root of the tree there was a small ring of blue flowers and a supermarket where I would have bought it, and the calves were rolling in the pack. Someone seemed to have just come to give it to me recently, and the flowers were not withered and fresh.
"I didn't know there were people who still offered offerings to criminals of this century!" Haha, maybe the world hasn't thrown it away yet... it's worth stepping on. "
The man suddenly stepped on the flower.
In this way, I deliberately rubbed my shoes on the ground as if to crush them, and even when I saw the beautiful flowers, they changed into an unharmed figure. At the same time, I kicked the container of calves placed next to me in a fun way. The gurgles are crushed like they cling to distant minds and drift to the ground over time.
He stares at the sight with great pleasure.
"Well, I'm not here for such a hobby." I have something to make sure of- "
He turned his face to the sky, looking up at the third moon, and stopped to contemplate.
As his corner of the mouth rose spookily in the quiet woods, the small animals nearby who were nervous about it walked away from the spot.
The forest was rough.
Well, where did you end up?
Suddenly, the man opened his mouth wide and thrust his hand into it. As if I didn't feel any pain or suffering, I started to look for something in my body as soon as I pushed it into my mouth around my elbow.
The man who made a mistake pulls it up all at once.
Did you take it out of my stomach bag? It was soaked with liquid from my body.
It was-- it was just a piece of meat.
I threw it at the spooky flower.
"Hmm, it's not funny to let it go like this. Anyway--"
The man bites his thumb and drips red blood.
Slowly dropping it onto a piece of meat, a dazzling light shone through the darkness. Gradually, the meat lumps became enlarged and grew into meat lumps for each person.
"In this life, it's good for us to laugh."
† † †
The cold, harsh forest dawns, turning the frozen droplets of the sun into brisk morning dew.
By the time the night was cold to the morning warm air, the four were facing each other in preparation for the final qualifiers. It was a temporary overnight team, but bonds were brewing in them.
That was very pleasant for Tenji.
Well, the second round starts in a minute.
Kurohao said that while stretching his arm to stretch lightly.
On the other hand, the three nod silently. As I realized, Kurohao, a young man of the same age, stood in the leader's place.
Kurohao, who possessed the qualities of such a leader, spoke like he was putting his index finger together.
“Probably the top 12 will decide today. The lowest score is 100, but my forecast is 120 to 150 points for the main event. I know it's okay, but don't be late, you guys."
Yes!
Yeah!
Good luck!
"I'll see you in the main competition."
Then, the four of them made the final adjustment until the announcement of the start.
Once again, Seeker Olympia's main theme song resounded throughout the venue. When the athletes' feelings switched to something serious, the atmosphere of the venue changed.
There is a rough connection sound.
Good morning, everyone. I don't think you need a preliminaries... the second day of the final qualifiers is starting!!
Along with the sound of the shepherd, the four of them adjourned at once.
Each of the other athletes moved simultaneously, and a fierce battle of points began again.
Running out takes about 15 minutes.
Tenge suddenly stops when he confirms that no one is nearby.
I also checked that there were no drones or surveillance cameras beside me, and brought the book of demons I had already grabbed before my eyes.
"Come--" Purgatory Scout Sai "" Purgatory Scout Sakka "
