The shop that I entered with Dr. Fear had a pretty good atmosphere with a casual atmosphere and a calm impression. The food was also delicious, and it was a good meal to chat about while having fun.

However, when I was approaching the end of the meal, the air felt a little tight. The tingling air is emitted by Professor Fear who smiles in front of me, and at the same time, I will emit the same air.

Yes, I and Dr. Fear understand each other. When it came to the battle, it was so close... I didn't even have to think about it, but Dr. Fear was a formidable opponent.

We once cut our heads at the Six Kings Festival. At that time, Mr. Noin's sideways spear turned the battle itself into a Yasaya, but that battle was essentially like my defeat... This time, it could be called a snow and insult battle in a sense.

But my mind was very calm when I tried to fight that kind of battle. You can also say that you can afford it. On the other hand, the impatience felt by Dr. Fear came through a lot.

It was delicious.

Yeah, after all, if Kuro's rating is high, it won't come off.

"Master Chrome is a gourmet." Well then, it looks like we've finished eating each other, so it's time to go to the accounting... I'll pay for it this time. During the previous Six Kings Festival, Noin paid me, but Miyama-kun hasn't thanked me yet. "

At that moment, I heard the sound of the gong of battle in my heart. Fear-sensei was the first to play the most powerful card he had ever shown at the Six Kings Festival.

I see, that card is powerful. At the Six Kings Festival, I didn't have the skills to fight the soloists, and I would have been defeated without Noin-san's sideways spear.

However, it was' because of that time '. At that time, the days were still shallow from the incident of Dr. Fear. Literally, Mr. Fear's "thank you" cutout was powerful and incomparably powerful.

But now... no. Mr Fear is impatient. The proof of this is that I cut the strongest cards early... yes, and Dr. Fear knows it too.

At that time, the strength of each other's cards was completely different...

"No, let me cum today." Even the previous "Thank You for the Divine Realm"

"Ugh..."

Yes, I didn't have a hand to return at the Six Kings Festival, but now I have the same thank you card. And that's not all.

"Besides, I've had a lot of help from Professor Fear... I've had my birthday celebrated before, and I'd like you to join me at the New Construction Memorial Party and give me this opportunity in return."

"Fuuuu... no, the New Construction Memorial Party was more of a pleasure for me..."

"Still, I'm glad you're here." Besides, on my birthday, even though it was suddenly that day, he rushed to me and even sourced the ingredients for my food, I really can't thank him enough. ”

"Grrrr..."

Yes, I am overwhelmingly advantageous in the power of each other's cards, and even if I cut all my hands off each other, I will be the winner.

And in order to decide the battle, I cut three particularly powerful cards in a row. The hopelessness of Professor Fear came through. Even three powerful cards in a row... even if you can offset it with a thank you for the previous one, there's no way to surpass the two cards left.

As a matter of fact, Fear-sensei's expression is distorted without even returning the objection. I know you're looking for a way to give it back... but you don't have to wait to find a hand.

With confidence in my victory and a smile on my face, I have to reach for the slip...

"... wait."

"Huh!?"

What!? Are you saying we can get it back from this situation?!

”Fufu, fufu... you failed, Miyama-kun”

"What are you doing..."

"The triple blow here is too much... isn't it strange?" Miyama-kun won the battle with the strength of his hand, and even if he fought hard, he would eventually be able to break it. So, why did you cut all the trumps here? Miyama-kun... 'Are you in a hurry to settle this?' "

……

No way, you noticed!? "It's the only way to fight back in a situation where only I'm being pushed into it..."

"Hey, Miyama-kun. Torre-san's envelope should open after the meal, right?" Well, let's check it out before the accounting. Look, there might be instructions as to which one will pay. "

"Guuu..."

As expected of you, Mr. Fear... you've been brought to the development I wanted to avoid. Yes, indeed, in Mr. Torre's envelope, it was specified that he would see the next one when he finished his meal.

Here, the neck is not "when you leave the store", but "when you finish your meal". If you specify this timing, it is quite possible that there is a description of the payment.

That's why I wanted to avoid the sole. After all, I'm overwhelmed with my cards, and if I fight normally, I can win.

After completing the payment first, I checked the envelope and cut all the strong cards and set up a quick attack in order to take them to the form of "the payment method was written, but the payment is already finished, so it's okay".

But it wouldn't work if the sole could remind Dr. Fear of Mr. Torre's orders.

I can't predict what's written on Mr. Torre's directive. It's not very good for me.

But I don't know if this will work in Dr. Fear's favor. In the first place, there is a good chance that there is no description of the payment.

However, I was given five minutes to make sure I could win.

"...... That's a tough one, Sensei Fear"

"Miyama-kun is strong." I'm definitely the strongest enemy I've ever fought... but I can't afford to lose so easily. "
