At His Majesty's request, we are transferring the venue to the training ground for court magicians.

What His Majesty says...

"I hear you're treading an advanced dungeon, so is it possible to fight a Rank C demon?

Rather than rank C, it's possible to do more than rank A, but I've seen movies of Roman fistfighters being fought by tigers and other beasts, but that's how it is, isn't it?

"The dungeon is treading at the party. It's only a step forward if you have company."

"But would it be possible if it were Sonata?

He really wants to see it.

Lord Dorothy is staring at His Majesty.

The Chancellor is in there to stop you, too.

Well, it's not for me that the Chancellor enters a halt, but because of the concern that his majesty's unscrupulous gesture that if I were to be injured, I might turn the Brutozelles Border House against the enemy.

By the way, my Adventurer Alliance ranks B.

He is certified as Rank B for treading an advanced dungeon.

This is only because the demons that inhabit the advanced dungeons are rank B, and they are actually crusading this rank B, so the Alliance rank is also B.

Demons have a huge wall between Rank D and Rank C, and it is said that you need one Alliance Rank D party to crusade Rank D demons, but you will need more than one Alliance Rank C party to crusade Rank C demons.

Our party can crusade Rank B demons alone, so the Alliance Rank is thought to be infinitely close to A, even B, but we're not actually crusading Rank A demons, so we're just staying in B.

Well, if you're a Rank B demon, you don't have to be me or Carla or Peron to crusade alone.

"If His Majesty's orders..."

Avoid clear answers.

If anything happens to me, it's on your majesty! That's the answer.

"Well, let's see what Sonata can do."

"Ha."

So it means we're moving the field to the court magician's training ground, like at the beginning.

Most of the nobles who attended that award ceremony are coming to watch the game.

So, it feels like we're ready and we have demons.

They're willing to let you fight and it's not on my mind to say no.

The demons provided are held by magic in the center of the training area.

I can see from all sides of the training ground that court magicians are supplying magic to keep the magic of restraint going.

"The demon is a big grizzly. Would I be able to afford it if I were Viscount Brute Ease?

"Nothing like that."

"Don't be modest.... can I ask you a favor?

I didn't want to answer His Majesty's query, but you don't either.

"Wouldn't you knock him out without scratching his torso?"

Well, is it a tie-in play?

This means that the kingdom doesn't have enough firepower to defeat demons even if it can be restrained... but can't defeat them without scratching their torso.

I see what His Majesty meant when he shook this farce at me.

His Majesty wants the skin of Big Grizzly's beautiful torso, but neither the court magician nor the Knights of the Kingdom can kill that Big Grizzly torso without scratching it.

By letting me do that, Your Majesty gets the skin, and... what's left of me?

"I can't guarantee it, but I will try to keep up with your expectations."

Well, it wasn't just about winning here, it was about showing some of my power and imposing a very troublesome tie up play about curbing my power to an even less troublesome extent...

I send my eyes to your father.

My father's eyes are telling me to do it to such an extent that I don't get hurt because I have no choice, I feel.

Master Dorothy is looking at me with tears in her eyes.

The nobles think it's an interesting show, sympathetic to me, hostile to me, all sorts of things.

Your Majesty... you look like you're having fun.

"Viscount Brute Ease, are you ready?

"... Yes, Your Majesty. Anytime."

I'm not ready, I'm not ready to fight.

And a demon named Big Grizzly is certainly rank C, but the Big Grizzly that's being held in front of me is a mutant species.

There are more mutant species than usually species, and the big grizzlies in front of me are rankingly close to A's, too.

So that Tanuki wasn't willing to prepare rank C from the start.

Not His Majesty anymore, but Tanuki. No...

"Um, here we go!

The magic that was holding Big Grizzly disappears.

... I think you should restrain him and cut off his neck, too.

Not at all.

The liberated Big Grizzlies are more hostile to the nobles watching games around them than I am.

I guess Big Grizzly feels hostile in this training ground.

Well, that hostility is towards me.

"Gahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Big Grizzly growled all of a sudden.

It's called a growl that has the effect of inhibiting behavior, it doesn't work for me, though.

The nobleman who was watching the game hears the roar and the bummer and faint also appear, but it was a soldier who was on guard? Knight? The same is true of several people down.

Tanuki laughs when he sees such nobles and soldiers.

I can appreciate you enduring the roar... but you have a bad personality.

The Big Grizzly is a demon that will be as much as 3m when it rises with two legs, but there will be 4m of mutant species in front of it.

Big Grizzlies feature eight legs.

There is still an argument as to which of these legs is the front leg and which is the rear leg.

One scholar says two close to the buttocks are back legs and six others are front legs.

So far, this theory is the most powerful and stands on two legs when the Big Grizzly rises.

In contrast, there are theories that there are four forelegs and four hind legs, and there are other theories that the four in the middle are middle legs.

I don't care.

The big grizzly progresses towards the nobles watching the game.

Eight legs cleverly moved and rushed.

Zudhhhhhhhhh!

Look at the Big Grizzlies stuck out of their heads on the training field walls. The nobles are trying to escape or slip out their hips, but the walls are undamaged.

It's normal to have a bond, and yet there's no such ugly state of nobility ~.

Well, it's good because a lot of guys were hostile to me.
