"Congratulations on reaching the semifinals, Singh"

"Congratulations! Shin-kun!

Moving from the dueling field to the audience, Mina and Sakya, who seemed to have watched the earlier battle, gave us words of blessing.

"The boulder is Lord Singh. I thought you might struggle without losing, but I didn't expect you to win it."

"Hi."

Also, Claire has put a slightly different word on me than a blessing.

She panics when it comes to sex shanty, but I guess it means she trusts me in combat.

"I didn't expect to beat Senior Setsuna."

"At this rate, you might be able to beat Senior Agate."

"Then this time, Sin, you can name the strongest student in middle and high school!

And at some point, the ice room, Yumi and Mai were with the Minas.

These guys regret their defeat in the middle and high school division, and they were supposed to be doing special training today.

"It's important to see the battles of the strong, isn't it?

"Right."

I agreed with Yumi's questioning voice.

Maybe Mai was persuaded by Yumi to come here.

You mean my sister isn't just swinging at me?

"Besides, my friend might win the tournament, so we need to see it through."

"I can't say no to a boulder if they say so."

Friends, huh?

I guess that refers to me.

I don't know, I'm so glad you came for me.

"You should never lose because we're here to support you, hey!

"Oh, I know"

Why did I decide to win for Yumi and Mai, who came all the way to the venue, and burned my fighting spirit in my heart?

"So the ice room..."

"You can say I'm here to watch the game. Don't bother asking that."

Also, when I finally spoke to the ice room, I was blocked from speaking along the way.

Are you saying it's a prospect for this guy, like what I was about to say anymore?

Do you think me and the ice room have such an understanding relationship?

I am truly sorry.

"You look a lot nasty. I'm so ahead of you."

"It must be natural for me not to want you to read my thoughts. Don't bother asking that."

"Gu..."

So as a return of interest, I also preface and answer what the ice room thinks.

Then the ice room started to look grumpy with his face up.

Apparently, the ice room also understood the feelings I just had.

No, I don't want the ice room to understand how I feel.

Is that it?

I don't know if I should be happy or angry anymore.

"What are you guys... aren't you really close?

"No, not at all"

"I can't believe you're close to Ichinose."

"... ahhh"

Mina is sighing when she sees our exchange.

Maybe they think it's the two Mendokusais inside.

But this is our relationship, so I can't help it.

"Well, you're familiar with your outgoing classmates, Sin."

"I was worried that your friend was making it right because I had a little trouble with my personality, but at this rate, it doesn't seem to be a problem."

"You guys..."

There's more Kengo and Ceres involved.

Whatever Kengo is, it's an extra favor to say that he's worried about having difficulty with his personality or making friends, Ceres.

Are you my mother?

"... so I've been wondering just now, where did Phil go?

And while I laughed bitterly at the Kengos, I asked everyone that there was no Phil here.

Phil was supposed to be working with the Minas earlier.

Is it also going to the bathroom?

"We were supposed to be together until Lord Singh's game began."

"You were gone at some point."

"Where did he go?

Krall, Sakya and Mina say so and look around.

They don't seem to know where Phil went either.

Is that the bathroom, after all?

Then maybe I shouldn't care too much.

"Well, you'll be back by the next game."

"I hope so."

But would Phil go to the bathroom or something at this time?

I think if she had some urine, she'd put up with it and say "congratulations."

I wonder how unbearable it was.

So it's a violation of manners to think about that.

"... whoa, time to take a seat. Looks like the next game's starting."

"Next game?"

When I looked over at the fighting field, there were two men confronting each other.

One man looks familiar.

Agate, leader of the Black Dragons.

Will he win this game as well?

With that in mind, I sat in the gallery and saw the results.

Duel Games General Division Main Division Match III

Match 1

○ Sin VS ● Setsuna

Match 2

○ Agito VS ● Vols

Agate was genuine.

I didn't expect you to win until you hit me.

No, should we see this result as incompetent for the adults who came to Earth earlier than we did?

If you skip Kengo in the final seed, it's me and Agate who won the semifinals.

Just because you won this tournament doesn't mean you're the strongest player, but you're a little clapped out.

"I'm sorry to hear that, Sin."

"Sort of."

I snort at Kengo's point.

Nothing. Agate is not weak.

I'm not weak...... if I could, I would have liked him to be the same class of strength as Kengo if he'd won this far.

But Agate doesn't seem to have reached Kengo's realm.

"Don't be alarmed, that Agate might lose to him, huh?

"I won't be alarmed. I know enough not to be alarmed."

Even though it hasn't reached Kengo's realm, Agate can definitely be the strongest class among middle and high school students first.

You can't beat that guy, probably Phil or Mina.

That much strength made me feel watching previous games.

Plus, he's a warrior tank.

If your opponent is the same tank as me, you never want to lose, and you can't lose.

My intentions for the next battle are out of step compared to before.

"Okay...... then it's time for me to wait in the holding room"

"Yeah! Go! Shin!"

"Come on. We'll let you watch us win in the audience."

So I decided to go to the holding room a little early and broke up with the Sakyas.

We have half an hour to start the semifinals.

Actually, I'd have no problem if I waited in front of the holding room about five minutes ago, but I'd like to concentrate on my spirit for the next game.

The more I thought so, the more motivated I was right now.

"... what can I do for you? Kengo."

As I was walking down the road to the holding room, I saw more of the person following me behind my back.

There was a Kengo behind me.

Wouldn't this guy watch the game with everyone?

"No, it's not particularly for me."

Kengo sends his gaze at me scratching his head with gasp.

That's a strangely poorly toothed attitude for this guy.

Usually, I'm the guy who says spa if he wants to say something.

"Uh... well, really, it's not a big deal... I'm glad you're stuck with the guys at school."

And while Kengo seems somewhat unspeakable, he has said that to me.

"... what? You followed me this far to say that?

"Yes, you're good. Nothing! I just wanted to tell you!

I don't know why.

I frown watching Kengo.

"... I've always been worried that you didn't get along well in high school."

"What the hell. Say something like Celeste until you do."

Sure, I was in middle school, and outside the game, all I could do was build a relationship that I could say was bogus.

Also, Kengo and Ceres knew about the situation, so it's not surprising that they cared if I was going to be too busy in high school.

But wouldn't it be a little overprotective?

You're my friends and not my guardians.

"Truth be told, I asked you to act with us before because I was worried about you."

"Then you put extra worry on it. I didn't get hubbed or anything at school, so there's nothing you guys care about."

"Oh, I'm relieved I was able to confirm that earlier. That was worth coming back here today."

Kengo smiled lightly when he heard my answer.

That's kind of disgusting.

I appreciate you worrying about me, but I want to have a more reciprocal relationship with this guy.

"You don't mind me thinking this?

"You bet. Don't treat me like a child."

"I'm not treating you like a child... okay"

He's weird.

I wouldn't normally say this to this guy.

Apparently the way I was talking to my classmates earlier was such a shock to Kengo.

"And then there's Phil. I'm worried he can blend into the class, but do you know what it's like?

Plus Kengo started to say he was worried about Phil.

Well, I agree with you on this.

Phil doesn't have a lot of mouth or is always around, so I can't help but worry about being able to make friends successfully.

... and this is how Kengo feels about me right now?

So you can't deny being seen with a guardian's gaze.

Kengo was worried about me and Phil, just like I was worried about Phil.

"Phil has no more problems. That guy is getting along with his classmates as he is. So don't worry."

"Oh well. I'd be relieved if you said that."

But Phil also has enough relationships to worry about middlemen like Kyoya and Aya if anything happens.

Me or Kengo didn't have to bother.

That makes me feel a little lonely.

"... but where is Phil's guy now?

"Come on, aren't you in the bathroom or something?

"I think maybe so too...... oh yeah. Let's make some calls."

And so Kengo said, and began to wander his fingers into the universe.

Probably skipping a call to Phil.

"... that's not answering."

"Aren't you still in the bathroom?

"I mean, bigger."

"Kengo, shut up"

Don't be such an evil pusher just because you've been in the bathroom for a long time.

Girl opponents have a lot of imagination out there.

"In this case, there could be a makeup fix or something like that."

"Phil's not wearing makeup."

"... Speaking of which, yes"

Maybe he's wearing natural makeup or something like that, but from what I've seen, there's no way Phil's wearing makeup.

Say it yourself. What is it, the line that I went to the bathroom with makeup was thin.

"Besides, if you fix your makeup, you'll be able to answer the call."

"Sure..."

If you care about the sound or something, you can just go outside the bathroom.

So isn't that why you can't answer the call?

"Then where is Phil now..."

"I thought you broke it in the belly, didn't you?

"So stop it."

Kengo doesn't have more delicacies than I do.

Phil wouldn't want the boulder to think he was diarrhea, either.

I can see that.

"You're too clean. Such a natural phenomenon is nothing to be ashamed of..."

Kengo, who says nasty things, stopped talking abruptly there and started looking behind me.

So I looked back, and I saw a woman walking this way.

"Excuse me. Are you Mr. Singh from Earth?"

"? Yes, I do"

From what I saw, the woman was Earthly.

Probably someone hired by Earthlings "Players" as an official in Earth.

But what could someone like that do for me?

"I have received a letter from a woman named Phil's friend addressed to Mr. Singh, so I came to deliver it"

"Letter?"

"Yes, this way"

A friend of Phil's.

Besides, from a woman, it's likely per aya.

She doesn't care enough to use the same room as Phil in Earth's dorm.

... No, there are examples like me and the ice room, so the rooms are the same. That's why we're not close.

Even so, there's no letter.

I'm supposed to be talking about using the call function normally.

"Okay, I'm in this"

"Thank you"

With that in mind, I received a letter from an official Earthly woman expressing my gratitude.

"What does it say?

"Wait a minute. I'll open it now."

I unseal the letter and take out a piece of paper, letting Kengo stop me from coming closer to my face.

And I frowned when I saw the text on the paper.
