That night.

The operational meeting meant that five people, Harwatart, Marina, Kanon, Norn, and Stella, were gathered at the Matatabi liquor store in Stella. At the same time, Halwatart is down. The smell of alcohol in the liquor store made me fall asleep drunk. Now I sleep in the next room.

Stella and Norn reaffirmed the importance of this tournament in the words they were whining about in their bedtime remarks: "My husband... my husband..."

Marina, on the other hand, had noticed Cannon's anomaly.

"... Canon, is something wrong?

To Marina, who asked worryingly, Cannon shook his head, laughing and saying.

"Since when has Marina been good enough to worry about me? Has the acquaintance healed?

"That's... not yet, though"

"Then heal it. Because I'm fine."

That's what I said and I showed my teeth and laughed.

"In the first round, you became a team called Six Stars."

Nha, Six Stars and Unfamiliar Norn look at the match table and squeal.

"Yeah. Micke and brother Mal were supposed to fight, but maybe Micke's team doesn't work anymore. Not if you lose alone, and Julio and Succino are so much more than they originally counted as a force of war. Mickey himself has no fighting power, so he doesn't make any alternate sense."

This battle takes place in a team of six. Only once in the battle, alternates and contestants are to be replaced.

However, they say that is a special measure only if the athlete who is scheduled to compete does not come or is unable to leave due to serious injury or illness.

Micke's team was replacing Micke himself, but it certainly doesn't make sense.

"So, what about the contestants? Pioneer, minor, middleman, deputy general, general. Usually it's Theorinia that lines up from the weak."

"Norn and Marina are stronger than the average person, but they're not as powerful as they are, so if you can do it, you want to settle for me, Halwatart, and Stella."

It was Cannon who said that.

And Kanon's suggestion was to put Marina at the vanguard of the first war, Stella at the next, Halwatart at the middle, himself at the vice general, and dump and pawn the general's Norn.

"... are you a throwaway pawn"

Norn seems dissatisfied somewhere, but he also understands that he is the weakest of these.

"- Me as the vanguard?

Marina asked as surprised.

"Marina is good at small work and stuff because of that skill, right? It's okay, because if you're about to lose, you can surrender. I've been scouting earlier, but I can't beat Stella, Halwatart, or myself because it's no big deal."

And Kanon adds in his chest.

(In case either Stella or Halwatart lose, Marina's victory will be more imperative than Norn being a throwaway pawn. In such pressure, this kid can't show enough of his original strength)

That was a notion that could be considered overprotective, but it was also the most likely idea.

"Well, I'll submit it now."

"Oh, wait a minute. I'll give you the participation form. Stella and Norn need to see Halwatart. Marina's going to fall nervous, too, because I want to make her take a walk, and I checked the location of the Games headquarters during the day. Look, Marina, be sure.

Cannon said that, holding the paper on the participation table and letting the nervous Marina stand, he walked to the Games headquarters.

Noon the next day.

The tournament will be staged by four team leaders, four Kett-Sea, who will take the oath.

Among other things, Micke is the only one with a complexion - and no excellent hairstyle. I guess I've given up the battle from the start.

Still, the Halwatarts wanted us to fight as hard as we could.

It's like the other team's information isn't coming in. The information about Prince Mal, or Stella's brother, came from Stella.

You think he's the best sword user in Ket Sea for everything? But the human strength that Mal brought in is unknown.

(I don't have Valf...... well, maybe he's resting because he's not good in the morning)

Cannon shrugged vigilantly around.

Because vampires don't like morning and noon.

And the opening ceremony of the tournament is over, and the battle finally begins.

As a vanguard, a marina in a mask, with a bow of the wind, went out into the centre of the square.

And there's one proper six-star on - facing Nye.

Finally, the stage of battle to determine the new king of Ket Shy opens the curtain.
