Glory to Earth Magic

The next day, anxiety leads us to the arena.

"Dear Alba…… be careful"

Just before I go out, Flam talks to me looking worried.

Be careful... I guess that means Espoir that Homenovi taught me yesterday.

"It's okay, it's okay. More than that, Fram and Aldi are the ones, good luck. If you win, you can eat sweets all you want at the Glabi Pavilion."

Honestly, I'm pretty anxious to fight Espoir, but I can't even bother to put that on the table and worry the Flams.

"Alba already! I'm worried, but I'm only thinking about eating all I can..."

"Alba's a sugar addict."

Flam and Aldi say they were scared when I answered them deliberately.

I mean, I'm a sugar addict. Shall I ask you not to create a strange disease on your own?

After that, we broke up when we had a word or two conversation.

When I get to the arena, I quickly check the tournament table.

"Er, it's World War II today... yeah, I knew it was with Espoir"

Homenobi is right, my opponent has become Espoir.

By the way, Bra Harry was also a winner.

"What, that? You don't have the name of the other guy in Element Three."

I only saw my place, so I realized for the first time there was no other name there than Bra Harry.

Could you have lost the qualifying round despite all that big-mouthing?

That's not even a level.

"Aruba"

When I check the tournament chart, Elemea talks to me.

"What?

"Be careful with today's game."

Elemea says so with a serious look.

Are you worried about Elemea at all? It's not a character.

"It's okay. If it seemed dangerous, I would abstain worst."

"That's not why. Hmm... I can tell you now..."

Rarely do I have a bad tooth cut when it comes to elemea saying Zuba what I always want to say.

"Honestly, I'm worried about Espoir… be aware of today's game itself."

...... Hmm. I don't know what Elemea is trying to say, but I've never been too careful.

"In the meantime, I'll be careful."

When I say that, I break up with Elemea and head to the holding room.

By the way, they're going to play World War II today in the reverse order of World War I.

Though I think it's quite anomalous, I decide to convince myself that there's some way to do it.

Afterwards, I wait for my turn watching the other guys play.

Along the way, I watched it because there was also a Brahalie game, but it was clearly stronger than it was when I was in school.

It only comes with two names: black flame, and he fought around the black flame.

The appearance of burning down everything that approached was just a scroll.

This, I might lose if I don't do it for real, too.

That's how, once I pinch the noon, my turn finally comes after a few more games this afternoon.

"Yes, sir. Then I'd like to start my last game of the day. The referee will continue to be the Pecora of the Horn of Scrolls."

A girl who gave birth to a helical horn called the Ammon Horn from her head introduces herself.

The hands and feet have something like white mockingbird wool on them, so they're probably sheep beasts.

"Well, let's hope the players show up soon ~. East corner, in Game One, killing the winning candidate just instantly. Aruban the Soil Wizard ~"

They called me, so I head to the stage.

So far, the wild next time doesn't fly, but it doesn't cheer, so it would be a subtle standing position.

"Next, the west corner. Ah.... er, this one will also defeat Muscle Norkin, the winning candidate in the first round. But, well………………"

Pecora introduces her with a broken tooth.

Well, I didn't see it in person, but it was pretty tragic. In the end, Espoir himself didn't break the rules, so he didn't stop playing.

"Er... I'm an Espoir with the Great Sword!

When Pecora reopens and introduces him, Espoir enters from the other side.

Already, that unusual form of sword has been pulled out, something with a creepy expression.

"Oh… Alba, sir. I was looking forward to fighting you..."

"That's an honor. I'll try not to disappoint you."

I answer with vigilance to Espoir, who speaks delightfully in a gentle tone.

"So, ha, let the game begin. No!

"Stone Arrow"

At the same time as Pecora signals, I release several stone arrows.

Of course, I don't think this will do any damage. It is only a minor examination.

"Ahaha, do you think that would bring me down?

"Of course not."

The stone arrows scatter as if Espoir were blocked by something he couldn't see when he waved the sword in his right hand.

The crushed stone blinded me, so I used my physique to move around the blind spot and approached Espoir to generate Halvard and slash her.

"Ahaha, it's sweet!

Espoir lightly slashes and rips my weapon as if he were going to slash it with butter, especially if he waves his sword without a rushing wind.

At that time, Espoir's sword was vibrating violently.

As I was observing the sword, Espoir slashed me with a knife to return, so I jumped back.

"Heh heh, now you've avoided it properly. I am relieved that I seem to be getting stronger."

Seeing me quickly avoided, Espoir says satisfactorily.

"……… Have we met before?

The way Espoir put it, it's like we've met before.

"Come on? What about that?"

In response to my question, Espoir deludes with a deep smile.

"…… Vajra Fist Striking Heaven (Grand Grand Upper)!

I chant magic even though I don't think so, and activate the magic that killed my opponent instantly in the first round.

"Oh, this is the one you used in the first round, isn't it? If you look nearby, it's a force inside."

Espoir avoids it without difficulty with a more impressive look than surprise.

I don't miss that gap, I approach the Espoir again and go around back.

"Is that it again? You don't have any art... I'm disappointed."

Espoir wields a sword vibrating into small pieces with an ear barrier treble with Kin when he gives a blatantly disappointing expression.

I tell Espoir to sound like the only one who doesn't have to rush to see how it goes.

"……… Brother…"

"Guuuuuuuuuu ⁉"

Moments later, Espoir squats painfully as he blows a large amount of blood out of his nose.

"Oops? Espoir, I suddenly bled out and fell in! Alba, what the hell did you do? It didn't look like he attacked anything."

I can't help not knowing the referee. Anyway, I'm not attacking.

But I was convinced with my current reaction.

"……………………… Why are you here? Espero."

"Ku, kuku. Oh, I'm screwed. I can't believe this is happening."

Espoir... Espero laughs delightfully.

"Answer me, Espero. Maybe you came after me?

Espero is obsessed with me for some reason, so he expects to see me again.

"Oh, that's simply a coincidence, isn't it? Hey, I was here on business in this city, and I saw you. I was in a hurry because I was going to the tournament."

No longer are you going to delude me, Espero speaks in an open tone.

Coincidence. I suspected Liz might have leaked the place, but it seemed worrying.

"... that's good, but why a woman?

"Look, I'm wanted, right? That's why I'm temporarily a woman with the medicine Weissman gave me."

Weissman again? Even temporarily, I don't even make gender-changing drugs or anything.

"That's a good thing. Just keep going………………………"

Espero just tried to set up his sword again, suddenly stopping the movement perfectly.

……

When I was surprised, Espero seemed to have some kind of whispering conversation.

"... with you, Alba... but... okay."

Espero looks very dissatisfied when he finishes the conversation.

"I'm sorry, Alba. Apparently, I can't go on with you."

"What...? Whoa ⁉"

I was just about to hear Espero's sincerity, and all of a sudden the ground rocks out big and I get my ass cake on.

"Not at all... too handy is an idea."

"What did you do, Espero!

I scream and ask Espero, who seems to know the reason for this earthquake.

"Um, well... can I tell you something, my dear Alba?"

Espero says so with a smile, thinking for a moment but coming to a quick conclusion.

I really want you to stop because I feel bad about my love or something.

"... you know there are three arenas in this city, right? How do you know there are three of them?

"That's because the inhabitants of this city like to fight, right?

"Yeah, well, that's an apparent reason. After all, it's not a mistake because there are a lot of people who like to fight."

Even as Espero explains it, the earthquake is getting stronger and stronger.

At the same time, I'm getting a stronger and stronger feeling that the demonic powers of the evil gods in me are reacting to something.

"Did you know that after the evil gods were sealed, some evil god shards were sealed?

"…… No way!

"Yes, that's not true. One of them is sealed in this city. In the middle of the three arenas it is sealed. The arena is sealed."

I see, that's why there were three arenas......

"But I'm not just sealing the shards of the Evil God. A demon must have taken it in before sealing the shards. It sealed every demon."

Espero continues his explanation as he looks up at the sky with nothing.

"We unsealed the monster for you. Come on, Alba... how do you overcome this despair?

At the moment, if you wonder if a big swing has struck you, something huge emerges from the place that would be the center of the three arenas.

"Legendary Giant Beast......" Super Beast "Giga. The worst demon of all time, taking in shards of the Evil God."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

There, covered in white body hair, a red stone on his forehead. The eyes have the same red eyes as the stones. There stood a giant rabbit more than any other building.
