Glory to Earth Magic

"Good morning, have you slept well?

The next day, when I woke up, the innkeeper would talk to me when I came down to the first floor.

"Yeah, in shame. Hey, that helped. Anyway, the big inn was buried all over the place."

I answer with a poly scratch on my cheeks.

We were looking for a place to stay yesterday after we broke up with Brahalie and the others, but there was only a big event and all the boulevard lodgings were filled with rooms.

When there's a martial arts tournament, they have to take the inn in advance for a week or so.

Well, if you're staying around when there's some big event on the planet, you have to make an appointment or something.

As a result of searching for an empty inn, I found this inn, Deep People's Pavilion, in a lot of corners of the city.

It's stubborn and inferior to an inn on the main street, but anywhere we wanted to stay, we decided to stay here unanimously.

"Ha ha, this city is like this every year. My inn is in the corner, compared to the Boulevard Inn, but I'll do my best to make the interior and service satisfactory."

The innkeeper - Mr. Deep, says so with a smile.

That's all the person says, it gets a little worse, but for the look of it, the interior is clean and the service is solid.

It wasn't expensive either, it was rather cheap enough.

The difficulty is that it is a long way from the arena, but given the improved service, I am not very concerned.

"No, but I'm glad I stayed here. The food is delicious, too. Flam... my party was delicious too."

The recommended menu for this inn is fish dishes.

Grilled Fish Stewed Fish Everything was delicious just because it was recommended.

"It's an honor to have you say that. How about breakfast?

"Right. Well, then, I'm going to wake everyone up, so can we get ready?

"Roger!"

Mr. Deep pulls back when he responds well.

Probably went to cook.

By the way, we're the only ones staying in this inn. They say if you don't detain yourself to a place, there are things like this in this city because the inn is like an asshole.

Well, with all those big events, Inn makes money. The place looks great though.

Then, I woke up Elemea and the others, who were still dreaming, and enjoyed the fish dishes.

◆

After breakfast, we came to the arena.

Each tournament will have a different reception location, so it's just me and Elemea here. Each of the Flams should be headed for the arena.

"Still, it's a great crowd..."

I arrived about an hour before the reception started, but there was already a long line of snakes there.

Even then, I can see that this event is popular.

"……… I'm losing confidence that I can win"

Looking around, he always looks stronger with all the better guys in Gatai than I do.

Some of them were women, but I still didn't see them any more surprised than I did.

Well, it's only part of the line, so maybe there's someone like me.

"I don't know what to do with such weakness. You're gonna win this tournament, aren't you?

Elemea, who was next door, says as if she was frightened.

That being said, I would lose confidence even if I didn't want to be surrounded by people who seem so strong.

Fighting people is completely different from fighting demons.

Elemea also said it, because she can be overshadowed by experience such as the difference in power.

"Even if they say so, honestly, can we win the qualifying round as well……"

"Haa…… just start and you'll see."

In response to my weak remarks, Elemea says so with a sigh.

Then we wait until our turn comes as we chat with Elemea. After some time since I started the reception, my turn finally turns.

"Welcome. The name and congenital attributes of the person to be registered. And if you do, I'd like two names."

Coming in front of the reception, a young lady with red hair talks to me.

"I know the name and attributes...... two names too?

"It would be more exciting to have two names to introduce you when you go up to the main battle."

I see. Sure is an alba player from O00! It seems more exciting to be introduced to something like that.

In this city, the battle is developed as entertainment, so you might be aware of how to cheer it up.

But two names... two names. No, I have two names, too, don't I?

But I don't know if they'll introduce that to the public......

"Uh, the name is Aruba and the congenital attribute is soil. The two names are" Aruba of Deception. "

"How many do you sign up on your own!

When I was wondering if I was going to register two names, Elemea took the liberty of registering what she lost.

"It's bad because Aruba's worried. You're holding on to the back. Why don't you just hurry up?"

When I protest, Elemea answers looking behind her.

Ugh... sure, but come on! But you don't have to register two names.

Damn yes, my gentleman and my clean image collapses......!

"Look, I signed up, so just go."

"Ah, two names yet......!

Ignoring my opinion, Elemea pushes me around.

Against the appearance of using magic, the force was very strong, and my resistance left the scene in vain.

◆

"Preliminary qualifying starts this afternoon. Until then, I think I'm gonna have to wait in this holding room."

After that, Elemea forced me to come to the athlete's holding room.

……

"How long have you been stubborn? He's a man, so don't drag him around forever."

That being said, come on... those two names don't...

"It's valid to say that there are two names to impress them. Two names, that alone means you have strength. Whether that means good or bad."

No, well, I know what Elemea's trying to say.

"If you don't like it that much, you should win two new names in this tournament. If you win the tournament, you'll get about two new names."

It's that simple, but I don't think it's that simple.

"... but I can't help but say Gdagda that it did pass, and think positively"

Positive thinking is my problem.

"Well, I wonder how we'll spend it till time"

Basically, they tell me not to go out of the holding room, so I have to kill my free time here. What's wrong?

"Um..."

"Yes?"

When I think about how I'm going to kill my spare time, I can suddenly speak up.

Looking at the voice, there stood a woman with a slightly wavy chestnut hair who was a natural perm.

He was roughly 170 in height, equipped with light armor and carrying a sword about his height on his back.

"Maybe Mr. Alba......?

"Yes, but what about you?

Haven't we met somewhere?

"Oh! I knew it! You're Alba, the earthly wizard! I'm a fan!

A woman is happy to brighten her face when she finds out I'm Aruba herself.

Give me a fan... Plus, she's pretty cute.

"I've heard a lot of rumors about Alba. Anything like being an adventurer despite his earthly attributes and having up to two names! Two names for sure………"

"Oh, hey, don't touch me about two names."

"Really? Well, it's awesome to skip that, isn't it? Me, I became a fan of Mr. Alba while I heard all the rumors... and I was hoping to see you someday!

The woman gets excited as she puts her face closer together.

As for me, I'm getting a little dodgy being approached by a beautiful lady.

She's called Flam, but she still gets nervous when she can get her face close to the beauty.

"You couldn't have been so nervous when I was you, could you?

Where is the element of tension in Elemea's appearance?

When I was thinking about it, I was slightly flanked by Elemea, who sensed something.

It hurts plain.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't introduce myself yet."

When I'm overwhelmed, she leaves and coughs.

"I am Espoir. As you can see, I do the Great Swordsman (Grand Sword). I am also a participant in the tournament. It's obvious that you're here."

A woman named Espoir gently slaps her tips and head as she peruses her tongue.

Yeah, I'm bruised.

Is Espoir sure, in French terms, hope?

Hope……. Yeah, I got a nasty face for a second, but let's forget it.

"Nice to meet you at the tournament, huh?

Somehow she plays the casino on the boat. Her name is like that, she smiles and shakes my hand with a boom.

"Yes, sir. Best wishes."

I smile and answer the tension max espousal.

Later, Espoir even asked me about the high-tension talks until the qualifying round began.
