"Was it good? You, you would have lost on purpose. What do you say to the boss by throwing out the game on your own? You said you couldn't find out for yourself, so the boss couldn't help but admit it."
At the same time that the heavy towns of Shitian Temple and Mingliang are discussing, two men stand in a corner near the mansion appreciated by the festival participants to avoid lighting.
One man could see a supple, forged body even in the dark, and the other man was arm-wrapped in a polite tone with no discouragement.
"Oh, it was a bad tour of the game, and, you know, I had to go pawn to the finals to play against him, like that. Trying to test your powers a little bit, but then you're too conspicuous."
"... then you wouldn't have had to join us otherwise. I feel like an idiot for letting you join me."
"I'll leave that to you. At your place, we could fight next, right? Suppose he wins."
"You've got to be kidding me, I'm leaving next time too. I don't want to fight such a monster, even though it doesn't do me any good, I... Besides, you must have seen the record of the first fight, too, right? From what I can tell, he's got enough qualities to care about his boss."
"... hun, I don't know yet"
"... you're not being honest at all"
A polite toned man sighs small.
"We have to leave with the boss after this. That's a dangerous battle awaiting us. But it's an important battle… for us, for the world. I don't want to get hurt at a festival like this before that."
"I know. So I just wanted to see if I could trust him to be one of them."
"I don't know"
"Besides... the only reason I got off the game wasn't because of the bad tour of the match"
"... what do you mean?
"It sucked, my opponent."
"Hmm... is that that bullshit swordsman? True, I was surprised at your ability after liberating that odd sword...... To be honest, it didn't look like you'd lose."
"No... that hasn't given its original strength yet. When that son of a bitch felt like putting that power to rest, I decided to lose because I was a jerk."
"... Hmm. Is it so awesome for you to say that, that sword?"
"Oh, shit. It's not like it sucks. That's not like the sword the boss has... but I felt close to it"
"What!?
"And the killing I felt from that bastard... it was a flash, but that's not what that kid would unleash. I felt... crazy about it, something that wasn't released by a decent human being. It's not just the sword, he's hiding something himself."
…… So... did you disperse? If that's what you felt… let's report it to the boss as well. This house seems to have ties to the boss. "
Then, after a short conversation, the two left the scene.
