Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! (WN)

The 17th Intermission Martial Arts Tournament.

"..."

"Um, Wendelin?"

"I'm looking forward to lunch today."

The first day of the martial arts tournament that has finally begun.

Today, most of the qualifying was scheduled to be completed.

After all, there are many contestants, and there are divisions of spear art, bow art, and martial arts, so it can never end in a day.

The main game will take place at the Royal Coliseum where I had a duel with the Duke of Herter before.

Because it is the final round, it will take place slowly over two days.

Therefore, the only people who could play the game here were the finalists.

After that, dojos and exercise halls around the royal capital are designated, and qualifying will be held there.

"Let's pay more attention to the game than to lunch."

"I'm worried about the game I'm almost losing!"

"I guess so much ..."

I was an amazed Elle.

In the morning, I and El leave the mansion for swordplay qualifying, Eena for spearcraft qualifying, and Luise for martial arts qualifying.

Despite the differences in the number of participants depending on the division, the loser will return to the Coliseum.

Today, the first round of the martial arts division, which has the fewest participants, will be held at the Coliseum.

And about two hours later.

"Is the boy lost in the first round?"

"Yes……"

Because I'm a baron, I purchased a box for three days during the tournament so that people involved could sit down immediately.

With this box seat, if you have more than 10 people in the special seat, you can watch the game with plenty of time.

Although drinks and meals could be ordered from the in-and-out vendors, there is an Elise, a food and tea professional.

It seems she got up early in the morning and was preparing lots of lunch boxes and sweets.

"I heard that Warren was your opponent ..."

"Carrying the Commander of the Knights of the Guard, carrying a tournament in Vell ..."

In the swordsmanship division, where more than 10,000 people participate, he will be hitting Ellen's master of swordsman Warren in the first round.

Is it possible to have such misery?

I was so unhappy that Paul and Helmut were utterly unspeakable.

Warren, the user of the magic sword, has the disadvantage that he cannot use magic.

It's the same for me, and conditionally equal, but my sword skills are too different.

It seems that Date did not buy the ability and was not recommended to the Knights of the Guard.

A few seconds after the game started, I noticed that my sword was stuck to my throat and I had to surrender.

As long as you can use magic, it was an attack that could be prevented by a magical barrier ...

This is also called regret in the world.

"Um, I'm sorry to say ..."

"Hahaha, I have magic."

"Because it's terrible to beat the dragon"

After the match, the conversation with Warren was imaginary.

The spectators at the venue are also stunned by the stunning losing hero of the dragon killer who lost the first round.

But my swordplay is like this after all.

The early morning training that you were doing at your home was surely a basic physical training.

"In the first place, nobody expects a shaven swordplay from the beginning. What about Elle?"

Blantaq's remark was too bad, but it was a fact that could not be denied.

"In the first round, I was able to afford it."

Explain the current situation of Elle to Mr. Blanc Turk sitting in the same box seat.

It seems like you're completely out of town.

He was eating a side dish for Elizabeth's lunch that was suitable for the Ozumami, and drinking my own sake with a sickness.

"Really"

"Completely drunk ..."

"Today, the shaven will not be involved in disaster. I will go in rest mode as it is."

"What happened again?"

"I don't know. Isn't it okay because the guru is around?"

A strange duke has applied for a duel, a sloppy real estate agent just purifies her, or she is asked to protect a strange hippo.

Actually, being in the royal capital, you get involved in things that are not good.

He was a mentor, but he also ate mate tea while eating sweets made by Elise in the same box sheet.

The teacher told me that she drinks gab in the well water though it is a pretty good tea.

The sweets were also being put into my mouth one after another without any mercy.

"Even Elle's shaven is about once."

"The boy Elvin worked hard! Surely the results will follow!"

Elle thought she would struggle to hit a mid-level veteran adventurer from the very first game, but in a matter of minutes, she flicked off her opponent's sword.

I haven't seen Elle's daily training, so I was surprised that it was really strong.

"First of all, do you win properly?"

Despite the request from His Majesty, Warren says that El has talent for swordsmanship.

It has been a little since a year since I came to the royal city, and I could nod that I had a skill that I could not compete with anymore.

My teacher was very good, and I didn't have much trouble before that.

"Nobody returns except the shaven."

"Don't say"

However, when the time exceeds 3:00 pm, Luise returns first.

She was sitting on my lap, without disturbing her reluctant expression.

It's like a kitten you want to comfort.

"I think that using no magical power is disadvantageous for those who master the magical style ..."

It seems that Luise fought hard, using only the magical style she had learned so far.

Because the body is small and lacking power, it repeatedly fires at the speed and uses the opponent's power.

Thank you for breaking through to the fourth round of qualifying, but he regretted that he had lost to his classmate veteran in the fifth round.

"At the age of thirteen, the first time I participated, the breakthrough in the fourth round is terrific.

If you stay that far, it is said that knights and associate barons and others who want to hire vassals are on the list.

Buy young and talented young people in Aota, and spend some time growing them into human resources that match their personal style.

In this world, there seem to be nobles who do something similar to hiring new graduates and inexperienced people.

Even though it is strong, if you are an old veteran, it seems that many people have habits and are difficult to use.

"I thought I was told, but it was full of scratches."

Because it's a martial arts division, the opponent's attack was inevitable.

Luise's arms and face had thin bruises and scars.

"Vell, cure me"

"I wish he had been cured by the priest at the venue."

Many people are injured in the game, so there are several healing wizards sent by the church at the venue.

I was just thinking that the wizard would cure me.

"I want you to say that you want to cure a cute fiancee."

"Yes, this is treatment. Young lady"

"I have scars in my kimono, do you want to see it?"

"Be prepared for the place"

"But, what is it?"

"I want to see!"

I was healing all the wounds of Luise at once with the healing magic of the water system.

"Vell's healing magic is as effective as Elise's."

"Because Wendelin has strong magic."

Although there is a problem of efficiency, it should be more effective to use fifty magical effects than ten magical powers.

Luise's wounds were only scratches, so he was able to heal all the wounds without any particular difficulty.

"Is progress in saving magical power? It is necessary to continue training."

"It's because I'm aware."

"Hey, Ena-chan is back."

Considering the time I came back, Eina should have gone to a pretty good place, but for some reason she kept an incomprehensible expression.

"Ena?"

"Sixth qualifying round, if you win this you will lose in the place of the final round"

Although there was a tournament luck, Ena seems to have improved considerably in the past year or so.

"It may be unwilling, but isn't it a good grade for the first time?"

"That's right ..."

"So what are you dissatisfied with?"

"Is it dissatisfied or dissatisfied ..."

It seems that the opponent of Ina's sixth round was a "spear-art large wheel" who had been appealing for hiring in front of the residence for a while.

And he was very strong.

"I don't think I'm losing to my lance teacher. Rather, I might be stronger ..."

"He was so strong ..."

Because of the performance that attracted the common sense, he wasn't chosen for the formation of the princes' army, and he continued to appeal for hiring in front of the mansion for a while, but he ignored it.

"I don't want to perform that much, I just want to apply normally ..."

It is a type that is sometimes.

While the specs are quite high, you may be wrong.

"So I talked after the match ..."

The person with the big spear wheel has a name of Mr. Roderich.

In addition, he seems to be a stranger and relative.

"Lookner Treasurer?"

"My brother seems to have given birth to a merchant's daughter."

It's a nephew, but the mother is not a formal concubine, and she draws the blood of the aristocrat but does not belong to the aristocracy.

"When I talked, it was a surprisingly versatile person ..."

First, since she is raised in her mother's family business, she seems to be able to do all of the merchant's duties for reading, writing, and calculating.

It can be used for bookkeeping, settlement, and calculation of various taxes.

It seems that he is also familiar with commercial law and business related laws.

"In a sense, you are the nephew of Sir Lookner, but why do you spear?"

"When I was a kid, I was weak, so it was for training."

"Huh?"

And why are you aiming to be an officer?

This is because your mother's older brother is already the head of the firm, and your uncle is not your nephew, you want your child to take over the firm.

So he seems to have been treated as a distraction.

Sorry, Roderich's performance was not good either.

I guess he would have been troubled if he was subordinate to his son, and even if he was defeated.

Also, it is difficult to get support from Finance Lord Lookner.

Everything is a mess of succession and inheritance of property, and it seems that the poor relations between Lord Lookner and his brother are also famous in the court.

I don't have a letter of introduction for reason.

"The world of merchants is also tough .... but will you be able to compete in spears to strengthen your body?"

If you are serious about betting your spear on your life, it may seem like a bit of an unpleasant person.

Even if he does n’t have any offense.

"Vell, I lost to him."

"Um, it's an unexpected talent and I can't help ..."

"But it's a weird person ..."

Sure, I had only seen it from a distance, but he was not sure why he spears the big wheel.

It is about 180 cm tall and looks well trained despite its medium thickness.

Because it can only be seen as a green-haired youth, which is rare in this world.

You seem to be a pretty energetic person because of the screaming of “Spear Wheel”.

"Um, let's keep it because it seems to be usable."

"I thought Vell would say so, and I asked her to contact her."

He was looking for a man who would leave the royal residence as he would be an adventurer anyway.

Because you have a good money account and good skills, it may be a good candidate.

"By the way, could you teach me how to use spears?"

"He's strong, but ..."

Even if a normal person imitates on a large wheel even during a game, it seems that there is a gap.

When asked where the school is, Eina doesn't know, and maybe it should be almost original.

"I couldn't imitate ordinary people ... Well, I was able to go to a good place."

"That's right."

"I don't know if there's next"

At least, I have no next.

Or rather, there was no need.

"By the way, how was Vell?"

"Huh, he heard me well!"

The opponent is Lord Warren, a master of magic swords assigned to the company commander in the Knights of the Guard.

He has no point of cloudiness in his sword technique without magic, and he swings a sharp sword immediately after the start of the game.

It's so quick, but still, every day since I was six years old ...

I sometimes took a break, but I was working on basic sword training at my parents' house.

"You lost?"

"I lost so easily that I wasn't foolish."

To Ena who listens with a cool expression, I also answer with a cool expression.

"In the first round?"

"Is it decided?"

"Therefore, you don't have to give pride!"

If you think about it, the second son Hermann is a little stronger, and there is no one in my parents' home who is skilled in swords.

While it is a self-training method that has been handed down to the Baumeister family for generations, I only do the basics for about an hour in the morning.

To that extent, according to strict swordsmanship standards worldwide.

Probably it was the level of Tai Chi in the morning by a Chinese old man and the level of Japanese radio gymnastics.

Everything requires effort to learn.

I used to spend a lot of time practicing until the sun set for magic.

"It's wrong to put me in the swordsman department."

"Yes, maybe, but I've never heard of the magic section."

"It has a reason!"

Mr. Armstrong immediately answered Eina's question.

In his hand, he had a large tea cup for himself and a scone specially made for Elise.

"Because there are few wizards, so many cannot gather in the royal capital!"

There are a lot of jobs that can be left to a small number of people, so the time and magic required to compete in competitions is regrettable.

"The rest is because there is a possibility of death."

Deaths can occur even with swords, but they are overwhelmingly less than magic.

Furthermore, since magic is shot in the venue, you must prepare personnel who can set up a powerful magic barrier.

It seems that the hurdles are high to hold the tournament.

"I'm convinced, but what happened to Elle?"

"It should still be there ..."

While Eina answered, the first round of the martial arts division had begun at the match venue.

It is said that they do not play at the Coliseum on the first day because the audience complains.

Is it the difference in the original physical ability?

Although it was a powerful game development that was incomparable to the previous martial arts game, I only saw it because there was no acquaintance.

"So many people are older."

"Because they compete for skills."

According to Luise's explanation, veterans are more likely to remain because it is a skill-based tournament.

Especially in the martial arts department where there are many martial arts teachers, the tendency seems to be remarkable.

"But the real strength is different?"

"I'm not going to lose to most of the finalists.

It was natural because it has intermediate to advanced magical power, which can be used in the magical flow.

"So why is this tournament?"

"I think it's to prove that 'It's not good at overall fighting power, but it's serious training every day and the skills are excellent!'"

"It's exactly what Louise says! Because if we fight with all our strength, no one can win first."

In addition, good skills mean that if you hire that person or ask for a job, you will be able to provide guidance to others.

Promotion as a guiding role to convey the skills of the resident Ronin in the field and to transfer their skills to the reverse.

These two seem to be the main objectives of the participants.

"When I heard that, I ended up getting nothing."

Normally, such a martial arts tournament should be exciting, but when you ask about the circumstances, it will be clogged as soon as possible.

I start to worry about the lunch box that Elise has made.

Among them, the side dishes baked with miso pickled boar seemed to taste good with the rice.

By the way, it was me who taught me how to cook.

"Is that because the shaved lost in the first round?"

"There is no such thing."

"I'm really enjoying it."

In the case of Mr. Blanc Tak, anything with delicious knobs and alcohol should be fun, so it was not at all possible.

"After that, is the only person involved El?"

"That's bad during the talk ..."

"Is it Elle?"

Every time, Elle seems to be back.

In addition, she had a slightly apologetic expression.

"Did you lose?"

"In the sixth round, I hit Mr. Warren."

"You too!"

As expected, it seems that he could not beat Warren, the master of the sword, because of his experience.

How can I win for me?

It is a level of.

"I'm full of the feeling that something is over."

I feel like I felt right after my high school baseball club lost in Koshien's qualifying session.

Should I say?

"If you went to the sixth round, isn't there any problem?-But why are they all so happy?"

In fantasy novels and comics that I read in the previous life, it was a very exciting thing when it came to martial arts competitions.

However, there are many martial arts competitions where the magic of this world cannot be used.

Nevertheless, the spectators watch the results with a spit.

I felt a little strange.

"In this martial arts competition, the kingdom is a big bet, and the profits will be used to fund charitable activities."

"I should have heard ..."

With the remaining two days, the martial arts tournament ended all matches as scheduled.

Apart from my feeling of no excitement, Luise seemed to be jumping alone.

"I did it! I won by betting in the martial arts division! Imagine a 23x magnification!"

"I bet you ..."

The game for the next two days ended without any trouble.

Speaking of what we did, it was a banquet seat where people who could only come from the box seats at the match venue sat down and enjoyed the drinks I had prepared with Elise's special lunch and tea.

The game was just a landscape.

"But the guys in the match aren't looking at this strangely."

"Well, I want a shaven to hire me."

"I don't need that much brain muscle."

What I want is the people who maintain the royal residence and lead the servants.

No matter how good the sword's skill, it would be a employment mismatch.

"What's that 'spear art big wheel'?"

Mr. Blanták also seemed to have seen “Spear-art large wheel” who was swinging a spear in front of the mansion before.

When I talked to the manager of the royal residence, he showed a surprising face.

"That person can be a book."

"People don't look like ..."

The only thing I gained from the three-day martial arts tournament was the experience of the custodian of the Imperial House and the word that people do not depend on their appearance.
