Breathe deeply and slowly trying to forgive the busy and pulsating chest at all in a battlefield surrounded by unusual enthusiasm.

With the exhaling breath, as I hope anxiety and anxiety will leave.

"Kai-kun... it's okay, it's okay, right?

"... Still, I'm worried, I am. than the outcome of the match."

"But Oink said he'd take care of it."

"Lue. That's not the problem. I'm worried about her, too, just like you used to worry about me putting people in my hands."

She squeezes her hand softly so that she can forgive this one, which seems anxious.

Oh, I suppose so. Rayce would be more calm and on the battlefield than I am.

If she had come through the tragic experience of war, she would probably be able to carry out her mission without any problems.

But... if I could see that, would something change in her?

Just because she's been through a war doesn't mean she's ever laid her hands on someone directly.

That's what I'm hearing from her during last night.

But still, she said 'I'll do it' and didn't try to shake that resolve.

I have a desire to respect the decisions of my fellow citizens. But, and this...

"Kai-kun. That's ego. As far as I can tell, then, it sounds like this case only makes sense because it's Reis. Besides... Reyce, we're standing next to you. It's not just about being protected, and Kai-kun isn't just about protecting us, he's always trying to stand side by side."

be taught. Lived a long time, as a warrior, to his predecessors as a human.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. This is my ego, and somewhere in my mind, I'm convinced I should.

"When the game is over. I need you to pick him up right away about Lace."

"... oh yeah"

Being told, and swallowing all sorts of thoughts, I think back to what happened yesterday.

I can understand why, and I can see what you're thinking behind it.

But still... I resent you, Oink.

"... Oink, what does that mean"

"It means what I said, Boom"

"Do you force your people to commit murder? On these occasions."

"... Yes"

Sudden death. There is no more right to ignore that directive than to belong to an organisation, and that directive is only A-ranked, unlike me or Lue.

But why should we do it? Such a dirty man, if you could just tell me...

"... show it to me"

"Yes, you probably realize that now that Arkham is dead, he is being held up by demons other than one of Alvis' parties as a new flag"

"What does that have to do with why you wanted me to be in the council after the harvest festival?

After all, couldn't you suppress them until they just asked again?

Oink stabs the nail by cutting it in front of the masses... no, I guess he's rather going to take the beast's neck called the old system.

"Why didn't you say it first? Then you could have sent me in as an athlete in advance under unidentified circumstances. This one was even in the field."

"That can only be described as this one's downfall. I found out the other day."

"But you knew from the beginning that he was Arkham's man."

It's called a family name, it's called its origins, it's supposed to be someone who's not strange to mark first.

Besides, I belong as an adventurer, and I can do as much as I can to erase it with the power of Oink - oh, that's why I can't.

Disconnect people who belong to your organization at your convenience. I'll cut it off because I'm an associate. Cut them off because they are involved in hostile factions. Then the image is too bad, he said.

No, it wouldn't just be about the image. That's what keeps Congress from showing weakness to other factions all the time here.

Or, even if left unattended, a new enemy, a large faction, is born again.

Is that why...?

"... Reis. Can you take it?"

"Mr. Oink. It makes sense because I, the same demon, - and I escaped Arkham's hand - do it."

She was piercing the silence from earlier, staring strongly into Oink's eyes with perseverance.

Out of that mouth is about the purpose that Oink would probably be after.

Oink also slowly shakes his neck vertically again to that word that was put in his willingness to lie and not allow it to be repaired.

"It's hard to say, but among the followers of Arkham, Lace, you were famous..."

"That I myself lay my hands on. And if an accident occurs during a match between adventurers affiliated with the Alliance, you can't stand up and fight even if you realize the intent behind it. I can show you inside and out how ruthless the Alliance Commander is, and how freely Arkham can move me when he couldn't get it. Is that what you're after?"

"... you are smarter and more helpful than any woman I know"

The quiet force that comes from between them irritates this mind small and sharp as if it were a beard.

I understand your intentions. I know why. But still, I'm not convinced of this death.

But when she took that life...

"And I prayed for your fate, General."

That's what I told him with a faint, emotionless voice.

And the way it looks, Oink himself can also show his sinking face for a moment.

"That's all I'm talking about. I have plans after this."

That's what I tried to cut up.

Is that so? Is there any reason why I should be here and say yes?

Stuff her up, grab that shoulder and turn around.

"Oink, you really think this is the best way to do this? So you gave me directives to get your hands dirty inside me."

"… so you will put your hands down instead? With that look, do you succumb to everything again?

"If that's going to solve it, I'll be happy to do it. I'll kill as many or as many as hundreds."

"Waiting ahead is an 'inevitable responsibility'. As a new leader, you will need to bind the Demons and remain in the land. So, are you okay?

"Huh!"

I bet you are. If you ignore that and I leave, this country will definitely be rough.

It's not a city. If we do it in this place, where most of the people of this continent are gathered, we will undoubtedly see a huge gap at home and abroad.

Unfortunately, as important as Rais and Rhue are the people in front of us.

You can't let me wipe your ass like that.

Yeah, I know. From what I've just heard, it makes more sense for Reyes to put his hands down.

"Don't get so excited, Kai. I didn't think it should be like this, either. Because I have left too much in the past. Perhaps this will be my last job?

Then Oink nodded quietly.

They would have both dared to interact pale.

I guess the truth is we fully understand each other's feelings.

Perhaps, these two have some similar parts.

I would, I would, I would. I always just imagine how people feel.

But I can't say anything because I feel confident that it's not wrong.

If you two have already made up your minds, I'm already...

"Look, they're both out."

"Oh."

In the arena, both athletes appear.

As usual, Reis wears a dress that doesn't look good on the field and strokes his caged hands in both hands.

And against is a swordsman wearing a black iron, finely decorated breastplate and similar designed equipment on both hands and feet. Van Final.

I grant myself [Advanced Appraisal] and take a peek at the status of the person who is going to die.

[NAME] Van Final

[Race] Superior Demon Race

[Occupation] Kensei (44) Knight (44)

[Level] 133

[Title] Uncrowned Sword Emperor Who Wants to Take

[Skills] Extreme Swordsmanship Unintentional Strike Robust Guard Shape Unretreated

It's a shitty, totally bigger opponent than Reis.

Level and job structure, a superhuman class comparable to the one I fought for. This won't be about the struggle......

Sure, Reis is strong. And it also has a secret that Rhue even says, 'It's impossible for me to beat Reis with swordsmanship'.

But still, when it comes to killing rather than games, the worst is really past the back of my brain.

Oink's maneuver is to disarm the technique set in the arena the moment Reis puts a stop blow in it, stopping the ability to convert damage...

But what if, at that moment, they find a winning chance and the other guy sets up a counter?

Rayce could be dead.

But if I had activated [Sacrifice] on her, I'd notice no damage to myself and suspect my involvement.

In that case, I might lose her trust.

Worrying and not trusting is a piece of paper.

Not to mention putting horizontal spears in it more than she decided to fight herself......

Damn, I knew I had to watch.

"... Kai-kun, here we go"

"Oh."

"It's okay, as far as I'm concerned..."

She next door strengthens her hand just a little bit.

Oh, I'm really not good at times like this. I can't believe I even let Lue worry about me.

But she went on to say something terrible.

"Maybe the game will have a piece in an instant"

I am, loved.

When did you feel that strongly?

The first time that guy hugged you? Or was it when they broke the bond between us?

Or was it when you took me away from Arkham again?

... I'm sure none of them are. Maybe, I'm sure - I've been loved by him since the moment I was born.

And now I worry about him like that, and he just seems a little overprotective.

At the same time I'm happy with that, I regret it.

Oh - I'm not trusted yet, am I?

Oh - I haven't been that strong yet, have I?

But I'm growing up. Show it to him here and now.

You love me. And you're afraid you'll drown in me.

Heh, but I've been drowning in you a long time ago.

A little, that's not fair.

"I need him to come in a little more to keep me fair."

Instead of showing it, charm it. I have to attract him in this fight.

So - for the remnants of the past, you have to hope to leave, right?

He's at the end of his gaze, a man who makes you feel the shadow of an abominable man.

Someone who totally looks down here and has some boring look on his face.

I'm sure you think I'm not even an obstacle in my own path.

Then you have to think about it.

'I'm here to end my destiny,' he said.

And now that Arkham is dead, he says, "Everyone who follows him is doomed to disappear."

'Come on! The main battle is full of turmoil, but how dare this block keep abstaining and the combination rolled up! Honestly, I just wanted to say it out loud!

Lord Gold, if we don't get around there, Lord Oink will scold us again.

'Oops, I was. But I want you to rest assured that the audience is human. Every player left in the tournament is a winning candidate! Look at the two of you on the battlefield right now in that evidence!

"Reyce, who showed exceptional skill in the first round and won, and Van, who also kicked his opponent in early work that went unnoticed. That's a good card for sure!

Details of these two, let me tell you something because we have clearance from above. Oh, my God. '

From the narrative seats, I hear two familiar voices.

However, the voice gradually gets farther away, and I leave myself to such a strange feeling that my body and mind are being pulled inside, as if I were to increase my fighting spirit and enter more and more into myself.

Noise disappears. I can only hear the sound of my body.

I can only hear what I want to hear. I feel only what I want to feel.

... Oh, this feeling. I can understand now that it must have been my goal to stand on this frontier.

Slowly lift your hand and point your palm at your opponent.

Slowly, time flies.

I'm sure this is the world Mr. Kai and Ryue are looking at.

I guess I finally took a step into that frontier, too.

And my ear finally picked up the beginning signal.
