I was offered a duel by a man named Claude.
…………
I don't recognize the face of this man who suddenly approached our seat.
I think I know Sakuya.
For once, "Build Error" refers to me, so Claude seems to know me.
But all of a sudden, I don't know what it means to be signed up for a duel.
Besides, to wake up Sakya or something, it doesn't make any sense at all.
"Uh... did I just say Claude? You know Sakya, don't you?
"Huh, boy... that's not how you speak to seniors... well fine"
A man named Claude looked at my attitude and sighed lightly, shaking his head with one hand.
Sounds like one operation at a time.
I'm not a good type.
"Yes, I am a known associate with Mr. Sakya. Is it right to say, comrade?
"Battlemate?"
Could that be...
"... you were in the Raid Boss battle on the 30 tiers of the underground labyrinth too or something?
"Exactly. I'm a sub-master of [Noah's Ark], one of the three guilds I played in Laid Boss."
"Heh..."
Noah's Ark.
I mean, that's Noah's ark.
When I heard that guild name before I wondered what it meant to give it such a guild name, it just seemed because the guild master's character name was' Noah '.
Incidentally, the remaining two of the three main guilds that participated in the Laid Boss Battle are the third-year guild [Black Dragon Regiment], led by Ryumiya Temple (Ryugu Onito), who became the first student chairman of the Second High School attached to the National University for the Development of Genius and is the grandson of the Ryumiya Temple principal, and the [Meteor Club], whose first year is the main axis.
You feel beautifully divided in a year, two or three.
"Is that why you know about Sakuya?"
"Sort of. But even if we didn't fight together in the Battle of the Laid Boss, Mina of [Meteor Party] and Sakuya of [Mechanical Doll], which are two signs of [Meteor Party], are particularly famous in our generation, so we would have known sooner or later." Build error: Likewise, "
... a mechanical doll?
What the hell is that?
That's what Mina's "Meteor" came to be called. I kind of know where it came from.
But I'm not sure about the "machine doll."
That doesn't sound very good.
"Build error" is also a pretty negative image.
"... okay. So? How did you all of a sudden tell me you were going to duel me?
Nevertheless, it is not a nickname that should be asked here.
The question is what purpose this man approached us for.
"From what I hear, you are well liked by Mr. Sakya, aren't you?
"Oh, yeah"
It's true around here, so I shake my head vertically.
Technically, though, you're more right that they don't like you now, they like each other.
"But I also hear you leave Mr. Sakya alone and play with girls your age like middle school and elementary school"
"Ugh..."
I can only have a bitter laugh about this.
In fact, I used to act a lot in the beginning town with Phil, Claire, Gardia, and a little while back.
So it's not surprising that there have been stories like "Build Error" lately with all the younger girls.
I feel like I can talk to you the way I say I can play.
Or am I so famous that such information flies?
Can't be too far-fetched. Really.
"... but what's wrong with that? It's none of your business, isn't it?
"No, it has something to do with it. Because I have feelings of jealousy that I can't bother you with."
"What? Jealousy?
What the hell is that?
Maybe you're some kind of pervert who wants to cackle up with the little girls?
If that's the case, we need to report him as a good public.
"You are depressed by the other girls, even though you are receiving Mr. Sakya's love all by yourself. I don't think I can forgive you for loving Mr. Sakya."
"Oh, that way."
"... Haven't you thought of anything very rude right now?
"No, not at all"
What the fuck.
Is it Sakuya, not Phil and the others?
Speaking of which, this guy told me to duel in Sakuya.
I stuck around early in the conversation.
"So is it okay that you're in love with Sakya?
"Yeah, that's what I meant."
"Phew."
Are you in love with Sakuya?
I don't know. Sakuya's a pretty girl, too.
Sometimes he acts without clapping, but it's no wonder a man who doesn't know such a sakuya falls in love with her.
Well, I've come to accept the lack of clapping.
"But all of a sudden, duel. What a noise. Besides, if you beat me, there's probably no chance Sakuya's gonna like you."
In the meantime, I told Claude about the significance of a duel.
"I guess so. But I want Mr. Sakya to notice. That Mr. Sakya is a roadside stone that's not enough to take a man with a heart attack."
"What?"
You've just been sold a fight by Natural.
If that's what you want, I'm leaving too.
"A sold fight is a buying doctrine. If you want a duel, I'll go out with you."
"Glad to hear that. But I'm not saying I'm going to fight right now. [M] Don't be too early."
Claude shook his head with a gentle sigh when he showed me his willingness to ride the duel.
Yeah.
I knew this guy was my type of hater.
"... then where do we fight? Is that the square? Outside town?
But that's where I put my disgust on the table, and I asked him where he was going to fight.
"There is a stage for you and me to fight. The duel will take place in Earth's exclusive dueling competition in two months' time in the middle and high school division."
"Duel tournament..."
"Earthlings Exclusive Dueling Competition" is a competition that only Earthlings can participate in, and it seems to be about dueling in the form of a tournament to decide who is strongest.
The tournament takes place every three months at Earth time, or every six years at Earth time.
Last time, only Earthlings [players] more than college students were in Earth, but this time there were middle and high school students, so a new middle and high school division was established.
But I wasn't willing to compete in this tournament, so I was totally through.
Originally active in this tournament were swordsman and magician positions, as well as knighthood and martial arts jobs, and monk and hobbyist positions, as well as tutors whose possessions are restricted and the use of monsters prohibited, will not survive.
In my case, I have a damaging heel so I can fight without any problems in the monk position, but discussions with Dr. Hayakawa have decided that this is better not to be used in public without darkness because of the basic out-of-couth ban.
They don't say anything about the extent to which a few people can see damaged heels.
However, I am hesitant to use the damage heel in a place that is easily exposed to the eyes of the Games.
Therefore, I decided to refrain from compelling myself to participate in the tournament.
And on my level...
"Rumor has it your level is already over 60, isn't it? Could I be concerned about that and not be in the tournament, or thinking about that?
…………
That's pretty sharp.
Claude figured out half the reason I'm not in the tournament.
"Then you don't have to worry about that. The other day, the rules of the duel were announced, according to which they will impose a handicap when playing or competing against each other with a large level difference."
Handicap?
If you can fill 30 levels with that, you won't be that much of a balance breaker if I join you, will you?
Let's talk to Dr. Hayakawa later.
"Well, even if you're on a high level, we're not going to lose (...) though?
"... hmm? Us?"
I got hooked on Claude's words. I listen back.
Then suddenly multiple humans appeared behind Claude.
Nobody was supposed to be here until just now, but what the hell kind of trick did you use?
"Huh, you look amazed. They're behind me. They've been there forever."
"What?"
What's this all about?
Could this have been due to an incompetence?
I twist my neck without knowing exactly what Claude's words mean.
And there stood four women in front of me like that.
"My fist smashes rocks too!" Iron Arm "is about me!
The red (don't give me) of "Call Me People" Flaming Hell. If you touch me, you'll burn. "
"Everyone calls me Aki of [General Chichi]. See you later."
"... Nanashi of [Secret]"
The Earthlings "players" started introducing themselves to me one after the other.
Do they all have two nicknames?
"Build Error" What am I called? Don't you think I'm embarrassed or something?
Besides, I can't remember being told on such a side.
That said, I don't have a problem with my retina showing these guys' character names.
Let's even remember with Claude's surrounding group.
"And a total of five people, including me, who have the alias" Loved by God and Man ", are to compete in the duel competition from [Noah's Ark]."
Or a man loved by God...
That nickname's a bit of a jerk-off, isn't it?
Does everyone call you by that nickname?
"Oh, God loves you, man." You say, "Mr. Cheese"?
"... Haven't you thought of anything very rude right now?
"No, not at all"
I shook my head in the wake of Claude's surprised gaze.
"... anyway. Me and you will fight in the next duel. [M] What if you won the main battle until you hit me?
"Huh. Well, okay."
I still don't know if I'm going to compete in the tournament, but for now, I hope you picked it up because the requirements that have spoken to us here are complete.
Sakya's been silent since just now, and these guys are in the way of a date.
"Then I'll see you again. So it's time to go away."
"... Huh, you're really impolite"
Claude, who was pimping his eyebrows because he saw my nasty attitude, took four women away from the open terrace.
Could they be having one party with five of them?
If so, it's a Harlem party.
It's not even something I could tell you about people, but when I see a harem party or anything, I want to tell you to explode.
I don't like the way things are said and done.
"Didn't you think of anything very rude right now!?
"I'm not thinking about it! Don't ask me again and again, Harlem Yarrow!
"Harlem Yarrow!?
I yelled back at Claude shouting from afar.
Thus I was advised by a man named Claude to compete in a duel.
But it feels like you don't have to answer...
