Duel Games Main Match III

Match 1

○ Sin VS ● Mina

Match 2

○ Phil VS ● Cat

That's it at last.

I made it to the final of the dueling tournament, where my opponent decided to Phil.

Although I had expected this result from the beginning, from the people around me, it was quite surprising.

They all say, "Cat beat you...?," "That skilled and famous cat of yours...?," he admitted Phil's prowess by saying, "I can't believe he beat you to the cat... is the other middle school student a monster..."

Or I don't have half the visibility of catni.

Looks like they all thought Neko would win.

What the hell did that man do?

... Well, I don't care about that.

Now Phil and I are going to fight in the finals.

Because that's all I need to know.

"Shin-kun..."

"... oh, I'm fine"

Sakya has a weak voice, changing from hitting the semifinals.

Maybe she didn't want to think Phil would stay in the finals.

Sure, I find it tempting to duel with Phil at this time right now.

I guess it would be better for Phil and I to distance ourselves for a while.

But you can't run away here.

There's nothing good about me dropping the finals.

Just fight as always and defeat as always.

That should be the best.

"Mr. Singh."

With that in mind, suddenly I heard a voice calling me from behind.

I listen to it and switches.

Then Phil stood there.

"Hey, Phil. You stayed in the finals, too."

"... n"

So when I spoke to Phil as consciously and lightly as possible about the street, she also nodded lightly about things like the way she always did.

But now Phil can peek at something like a strong will somehow.

Only a gaze that seemed determined to something was different from her usual.

But Phil ran away when you broke through the first round, didn't he?

He seemed to avoid it then, but now he's in contact with me from the other side.

Was it also a change of heart?

"So I would like to ask Mr. Singh and Mr. Sakya one question..."

"... hmm? What?"

"Hey, I don't know... Phil"

"If I win this tournament, Mr. Singh and Mr. Sakya will... kiss... is it true?

…………

We got Phil's inquiry. We solidify for a moment.

Such a reaction was like affirming the question.

"... who told you that?

"Mina told me... it was true..."

…………

Mina, huh?

Why did you tell Phil?

No, I don't mind because it's nothing like hiding it.

It's not more like actively hiding it.

That said...... I knew it was awkward for Phil to know.

"Then... I will do everything in my power to stop it..."

"Huh...?

"Phil...?

Phil said something of a shock when we were silent.

Stop it.

How could you do that?

"Because... I... still like Mr. Singh... so..."

Phil said so with his face red, changing his expression to a crying face as soon as possible.

"... sorry... annoying... right? I can't believe I'm... interfering with Mr. Singh's bugs..."

…………

"But... I don't like it... I don't like it when Mr. Singh leaves like this... what..."

I can't say anything back to Phil.

Her confession is a great pleasure to me.

If I hadn't been Sakya's boyfriend, I would have held Phil over crying and accepted the confession impulsively as it was.

That's all the emotion was going through my mind.

... but now I'm Sakuya's boyfriend.

That's why I should be like Sakuya's boyfriend... and I've been trying to be.

I've only tried to think about the fun things I've had with Sakya so far, and I've been conscious not to think about Phil or Krall other than how I communicate my relationship with Sakya.

And by winning this tournament and kissing Sakuya, I was about to completely blow my feelings for Phil and Krall.

Believe me, this is the best thing you can do, and I've come this far.

Yet Phil's hasn't blown it out at all.

No, I guess you're rather feeling stronger about me.

Phil would never have mentioned this before.

Now, when I met him at school on Saturday, he was in a retreat.

But this is how Phil is trying to hold us back.

Perhaps this is what she really is.

"Besides... if I win, Mr. Singh should be obsessed with me... whatever you say... because Mr. Singh doesn't like to lose"

Besides, Phil seems to be trying to make her aware by beating me.

If someone did beat me, I would persevere in trying to make contact by certifying my rivals about him.

It's subtle if that leads to romance, but at least it's going to interest you from me.

Is Phil after it?

"That's the only thing I can distract Mr. Singh right now... so I will... beat Mr. Singh... absolutely... because I will..."

…………

What can I say to Phil?

If you're prepared to set yourself apart from Phil, you should show me enough attitude to be cold here, but you can't do that to me.

Or more than I am Sakya's lover, I can't even give Phil a kind word.

As a result, all I could do was shut up and keep listening to Phil.

"That's about all I can say here... then..."

Phil left that at the end of the day and ran away with his back to us.

Were you not chasing after Phil here out of the awareness that he was Sakya's lover?

Or was it just that I was still lost and standing still?

"... shin-kun"

…………

Sakya calls out.

At some point the hand connected to Sakya is away and she turns to the audience.

"Good luck with the finals. Because I'm here for you."

Sakya looked back a little further away and said so with a smile on her face.

Although the expression appeared slightly shady after receiving an incident with Phil, it appeared to hide it from me.

"... oh. Absolutely... I'm going to win."

"Yeah."

So Sakya walked toward the audience again.

Then I'll be alone in the aisle.

While I hear the hustle and bustle from afar, I slap my cheeks with both hands to regain my temper.

"I... am Sakuya's boyfriend"

I'm Sakuya's boyfriend.

I have to act as Sakuya's boyfriend more than that, though.

And I told myself, "Phil ran off to the fight field."

"Oh, Lord Singh. Were you here?"

…………

I thought so, I ran into Claire.

Krall snuck up from me and spoke from the right side of the crossed aisle.

"... hmm? What's that face? Anything wrong?

"No, it's nothing."

Was the incident just now on your face?

Following Claire's point, I retightened my expression.

"More than that, what are you doing here?"

"I have come to see the work of Lord Singh."

"Then why are you here?

"It will be decided because we are lost"

…………

How lost is this girl?

I've been alive for hundreds of years at a time, so you need to hold on tighter.

"Ha... the audience seats go straight up the stairs down this aisle, so if you want to find the Sakyas there, sit in the right seats and watch the game."

In the meantime, I pointed to Sakya walking away earlier and told Krall if there was an audience.

I don't know where the Sakyas are watching the game right now, but well, you won't have to force them to rendezvous.

"Um, now I know if there's an audience"

Claire, who was briefed by me, has nodded lightly to show that he understood.

... It's time to go.

There's a little more room until the finals start, but that's about a few minutes away, too.

"If you get it, I'm already going. See you later."

So that's what I told Claire, and I tried to walk out to the fight field.

"Wait, Lord Singh."

But that's where Claire held me back.

I thought it would be okay if I told you where the audience was.

"What, are you still also asking me something?

"No, that's not what I meant. Why don't you just crouch down for a second?

"? Like this?

I don't know what it is, but I crouched on the spot just like Claire ordered.

"All right, all right."

…………

Then Claire wrapped my head around it with her arms.

That buries my face in Claire's big chest.

The soft feel comes across my face and is very comfortable despite being over clothes.

….

"What are you doing?"

"Because Lord Singh looked like he was going to follow me. I tried to comfort you with a woman's weapon."

"No... you can say it's comforting... because I'm Sakuya's boyfriend..."

"Your head is as hard as an Idean. I don't give a shit."

"But..."

"If you don't like it, shake it off. If only you had the strength to look like that."

…………

Was I looking such a terrible face now?

If that's the case, you've made Claire worry.

"Bad, Crail. It's okay now, let go of me."

"Really? Why don't you just keep cheeks on my chest? Just like I always did Phil."

... This guy doesn't poke me where it hurts.

At that time, it was just an abnormal condition and my consciousness was blurred.

I didn't cheek because I wanted to.

"Just get away from me. If Mina sees you like this, I'll give you a big shot."

"Hmm? Well, I'm sure Mina's stubborner than you."

When I bring up Mina's name, Krall walks away from me softly.

The warm, soft feeling I felt all over my face disappeared, and I felt sorry for her when she said she had it.

I really shouldn't think about this.

But this is a man's saga, so I can't help it.

"You seem a little cheerful."

"Well... thanks to you"

This will cheer you up or something. It's a cash story.

He said I was a pretty easy creature.

Plus, it's a terrible story about having other women comfort you where you were depressed by women-related problems.

But you'll need to thank me on this occasion for once.

"Thank you, Claire. I'm still having a lot of problems, but I'm feeling a little better for now."

"Well, that's good. I'll lend you my chest whenever you're depressed again, so don't hesitate."

"No... that's..."

"Isn't it time for the game to start more than that? Sure, the finals should start in about five minutes."

"Always was."

It wasn't if I kept talking to Claire here.

I need to fight the finals.

I haven't decided at all what kind of answer to give Phil I'll be waiting for there yet, but I guess there's no option here for me not to be in the final.

"Then I'll go"

I said, "Come on."

And I made the brightest possible look for Krall and ran to the fight field.
