Isekai Ryouridou
Genos' Martial Arts Party, Again ③ - Where the Battle Goes
Thus, four swordsmen were decided to advance to the semi-finals.
It is Melfried and Dawn from the first block and Ji-Mayam and Devious from the second block.
It was a ranking match by four losers that was executed before the semifinals by its top four. Happily for me, in that first round, the opponents would be shuffled and, as a result, Dim-Rutim and Raelis would each win.
"I see! Do you rank among the eight brave men in comparison to the power of the town! Isn't this a pretty funny attempt, Gazlan?
Dan Rutim, who was groaning at Dim-Rutim's victory, called as such to his loving devotion.
"Recently, even Luu's bloodline has stopped replacing the face of a brave hunter! If you rank among those eight, how can you possibly enjoy different battles!
"Right. It may be encouraging for young hunters such as Rud-Luu and Rau-Ray and Sin-Luu"
"With you, would you be a young enough category? Well, for you and Giza-Lou, it's time to beat me and Donda-Lou!
Laughing gahaha, Dan-Rutim slapped Gazran-Rutim on the back with a big flat hand.
In the meantime, Melfried and Dawn appear on the game field. They were both winning the previous game, so they didn't look exhausted at all either.
And - the battle is an instant.
Dawn, who had been slashed along with the signal to start the game, had been gently removed from the slash to take a strong blow to the neck.
That blow alone makes Dawn kneel so hard. Probably even had a concussion. The referee had given the signal for the end of the game early.
"Hmm. I wasn't impressed at all last year because I think I was losing to Sin-Lew in my first game... I'm sure it would be amazing to be able to beat that Dawn lightly"
To my crush, I = fa reacts, "Right."
"It will also be the result of beware of Dawn's power. I wonder if Mel Fried would have sifted a blow all over himself from the start, thinking that if he prolonged his battle poorly, he would be in danger."
"I see. Does that mean that even in Melfried's position, I would?
Ey-fa follows me sideways as he lowers his eyelids a lot.
"I don't feel like wrapping a knife around something as devilish as that. Anyway, it's going to be hard to beat Melfried and Raylis."
"Hmm? But you don't lose if you dress light-hearted, do you?
"... you're really not equipped to see the power of others."
And now it is an eye-fa that will look a little like a shin.
"If it's a light-hearted outfit, neither Sin-Lu, nor Rau-Ray, nor Rud-Lu will be able to trick Melfried. It would seem difficult for us to defeat Camua-Josh or Van Deiro or… and it would be about Gemd"
"Oh, I see. Speaking of which, it looks like Gemd wasn't in the fight either."
"... that would be the same reason Sin-Luu and the other brave men stopped playing"
Does that mean that if all the outside humans take the victory, the face of Genos's swordsman will be crushed? It is true that Gemd had a good battle with Sin-Luu, as well as a remarkable amount of physical strength in the mountains of Morga, so as a person in town it was supposed to be a substandard strength.
That's how Ji-Mayam and Devious show up at a time when our conversation came to a close.
"Hmm," eyebrows Ai-Fa as one of them drags his right leg.
"After all, with all this rest, was it not enough to heal the wounds? If so... it could be a tough battle."
As Ai-Fa inferred, the battle between the two was a great battle from the beginning.
The audience cheers here and there because the battle between Melfried and Dawn was too modest. Devious had once again performed his rough, flaming sword moves, and one big Ji-Mayam had been completely overwhelmed.
Had Ji-Mayam been in full physical condition, would he have been more different? Devious's long sword jerks off Ji-Mavam's defenses, slamming relentlessly on his hands, feet and torso. If it was a bladed sword, it would have been bloody miserable. After all, Ji-Mayam's sword rolled out had not reached Devious as a single time.
"Easy, it's Ji-Mayam! Blood on your head will take away any battles you can win!
Dan-Rutim was also cheering for the jump.
Indeed, gradually, it feels like Ji-Mayam's movements are getting rough. To call it Matador and Raptor, Devious seems to have become a battled look between Raptor and Lion because he is so fiercer.
"I don't want to. It is only in distress that the mind must remain calm."
Ai-Fa also grabbed his fist and rode himself out for a long time.
So Devious's slaughter strikes decently at Ji-Mayam's head.
Destroyed surface armor rose high into the universe.
Ji-Mayam's giant brawls, and Devious wields an even longer sword.
Has this determined the battle - and the moment I think about it?
From the other side of the cheer, a heavy roar has been delivered.
The one barking is Ji-Mayam.
On its left shoulder, Devious's long sword is slapped.
At the same time, Devious's body was blown backwards.
Ji-Mayam struck Devious in the middle of his torso with a long sword straight out for his hips.
Devious kept his long sword in his grip, all blown up for two meters, and fell on his back.
Ji-Mayam falls on one knee as he is.
The referee quickly compared the two figures, crossing his arms so that he could relaunch the battle.
Ji-Mayam uses his long sword as a scepter and rises at ease.
Devious - he lifted his left arm while falling asleep and waved to say goodbye.
"East! The victory of Ji-Mayam!
People cheered, and next to me, I-Fa made a small gutspaw saying, "Okay."
When I look him in the eye, I-Fa puts his hands down in a lot of a panic.
"... at the end, did you push it with force? Well, I don't know what I'm missing, but if I could win, I wouldn't have to complain."
"Haha. I thought I'd let you in too."
Ai-Fa happened to turn red in her face and tightened my neck with a headlock. Because a headlock is a tightening move that holds the other person's neck aside, the degree of intimacy is not the norm, and I get freaked out by bitterness and embarrassment.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't think it would light up so much."
"... who says it's lit?
"I'm sorry! Give him a break for my weak cervical spine!
"Hmm!" he snorted, then Ai-Fa finally let me go.
It's a lot of work, whether you're usually kicked in the leg or spinning your head. That in itself seemed a testament to the enthusiasm of the arena that I-Fa was being perceived.
Either way, it has now been decided that the winners of the tournament will be contested by Ji-Mayam and Melfrid.
Not so many humans could have expected Ji-Mayam to show so much good fighting.
"... that hunter named Ji-Mayam never got the throne of a brave man yet, was he?
and Dick-Dom calls on Gazran-Rutim.
Gazran-Rutim responded peacefully "Yes".
"Recently, however, Ji-Mayam had challenged the brave only to battle, so it seemed difficult to win. Even in the blood of Lou, there is no doubt that he is second only to the brave."
"Right.... I feel like I've been shown the bottom line of Lew's blood."
Everyone seemed to bite off great emotions and delights, as did his fellow forestside compatriots on the spot. The people of Maam and others somewhere in this arena would be proud to exceed that as well.
That's how the ranking decisiveness begins again to rest both of them going to the finals: 7th and 8th are battles between strange swordsmen, and 5th and 6th are battles between Dim-Rutim and Leiris.
Unfortunately, it was Raylis who grabbed the victory there.
But it is a spare defeat on the great battle. Dan-Rutim and the others, of course, were to give applause to the young knights and even younger hunters throughout the venue.
Next up is a third-place match by Devious and Dawn.
At the beginning, Dawn was unilaterally attacking. Devious, who had shown so much aggression in the previous two games, was grown up like a lie.
Perhaps it hurt somewhere in the battle with Ji-Mayam. Sometimes he ran away with a thousand feet, inviting laughter all over the venue.
But it was Devious who took the victory at the end.
Dawn, who had always been an offensive, retreated to take a breath or jumped into his nostrils with a bounced momentum, bouncing off his opponent's long sword and letting him take away the "coming" as he was.
Apparently that was the last force, and if the referee declares victory, Devious sits on the spot nagging. That appearance was inviting people to laugh again.
"... I wonder why he's such a performer."
"Hmm, I wonder who you were born with"
Together, the order below third place was to be laid down safely.
Finally, it's the final.
But - against Melfried, who defeated Dawn in an instant, Ji-Mayam is full of creativity.
He was dragging his right leg more painfully than he had just done when he appeared, and Ji-Mayam was wearing a long sword over him with one right arm, even if he was told the signal to start the game.
It would also be easy to wave a long sword with one arm if it was as powerful as Ji-Mayam.
but with his left arm sluggishly lowered, that appearance with his long sword in his foresight was unusual to see. The match caused Ji-Mayam to hurt his left shoulder as well.
As a result - Ji-Mayam was splashed with a long sword in three, and was soon to be pronounced "here".
From the audience, I can give you an unfortunate voice. Still, if you were a hunter by the woods - and many people would have expected it.
But the kind of voice that condemned Ji-Mayam could not be given away from anywhere.
When the referee announces the end of the game, warm cheers and applause are delivered from all over. Ji-Mayam remained resolute and brought his head to that blessing.
Thus, this year's Sword King is Melfried.
After seeing the blessings to the eight winners and the closing remarks by Malstein, we were left behind in the arena.
"No, that was a delightful spectacle! Comparing the power of the town is also quite a bloodbath!
Dan-Rutim was laughing a lot as he left the arena and headed over to the waiting luggage car in the answering machine.
"Dim-Rutim will be taken away to Castle Town like this, won't he? It's a shame you can't speak to him right away! I'm sure he'll regret it, so take my place and do it!
"I understand. Even Dim-Rutim is number six, so it's a fine achievement."
"Uhm! If you don't mind, you just have to compete again next year! He still has a long way to go!
Dan-Rutim looked more energetic than usual as the heat from watching the game still didn't cool off.
"Still, just looking at the power comparison is what makes your body hurt! When you get back to the settlement, let's say you sweat all over the place with your training!
"Haha. The Harvest Festival is still ahead of us."
"Uhm! Since we've had the hounds, the harvest festival has only been a long way off!
Saying it that way, I looked back at Dan-Lutim Khalil and Dick-Dom.
"Speaking of which, hasn't the harvest festival in the northern settlements been set for days yet?
"Uhm. Probably halfway through the tea moon. It should be executed before the rainy season."
If it's a tea month, it's next month. The due date of the harvest festival in the northern settlements was just not known, but it is still twitchy and distant, as is the case with Luu and Fa.
"Right, right! So, the Ravuts and Sung and Meme harvest festivals are coming soon, right?
"Yes. It was the end of the silver moon in my first appointment, but Kaguku was to be carried over at the beginning of the moon. Still, the due date is coming up in a few days.
"If they had seen the power comparison today, how powerful would they have been! It was a shame!
Listening to Dan-Rutim laugh, I was supposed to get caught up in some thoughts.
(Speaking of which, I have the impression that the last harvest festival or something was faster in the north settlement than the Ravitz bloodline)
The harvest festival is distant because the hunting dog improves the catches of Giva and loosens the pace at which it is eaten up by the grace of the forest. So in the settlements of Lou and Fa and the north, the four-month pace was set to fluctuate to about five months.
Therefore, in Ravitz and Sung and Meme, since there has not yet been that much variation, when was it decided to outrun the northern settlements? If a single harvest festival produced a single moon of discrepancy, that was the natural outcome.
"... Ai-Fa and Asta are also invited as guests at the Ravitz and other harvest festivals, aren't they?
Called on by Dick-Dom, Ai-Fa responded "um".
"The story of holding harvest festivals between different families was also Asta's proposal if you ask the original question, so we were also told to see it with the chieftaincy muscles. We think it's a thankful offer because we should deepen the right ties between Ravitz and Sung."
"Right," Dick-Dom said, holding his mouth.
Then a while later, when we arrive under everyone's waiting luggage, that mouth opens again.
"... shall I take an interest in the harvest festival of the northern settlements?
"Hmm? What does that mean?
"It means as words go. We are looking to invite some of Rutim's humans as guests at the next Harvest Festival… I would appreciate it if Ai-Fa and Asta could also acknowledge it"
Ai-Fa looked up at Dick-Dom's giant wonderfully.
"Of course, I don't have to be somewhat interested in the comparison of the powers of the hunters of the North... but it would be the parental graph-zaza that defines such a story?
"From Graph-Zaza, we have already taken on the acknowledgement"
Ai-Fa looked more and more strange.
"So that's an official offer from the North clan, then? Why did you keep your mouth shut until you got home?
"... was eager to get a chance to cut it out. I've been making a scene since this morning."
Ai-Fa smiled as if she could not see, and responded, "Well."
"You have a nasty temper, not according to your appearance.... No, if you're offended, let's apologize. I never meant to."
…………
"Now let me ask you why. Why would Rutim invite us to the Harvest Festival anyway?
"We started having harvest festivals with Havilla and Dana as well. Havilla and Dana are originally blood tribes, but I don't think we would have thought of having a harvest festival together without Asta's proposal. Then I wondered if Pha's people deserved to see it."
Dick-Dom said so in a heavy voice.
"Also...... it was Gazran-Rutim who devised it that started keeping Morn-Rutim in the northern settlements...... if the Fa humans hadn't overshadowed the forestside mastery in the first place, this wouldn't have even happened. If so, along with the men of Rutim, I wonder if Pha's man should also be invited... I have so advanced."
"So it was Dick-Dom who advanced to invite us to the harvest festival"
Ey-Fa answered that, with a very soft eye.
"Then, as a parent of Fa, I would like to thank you for that offer. Is there anything different about Asta?
"Yeah, sure."
I nodded with a smile.
"It is an honor to invite you to the harvest festival in the northern settlements. We haven't even set foot in the north settlement yet."
And then, instead of me, I said, "Eh!" A loud voice rose. If you think of someone, it's Tool-din in the answering machine. Since we're finally back, you must have come to greet me.
"Also, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrogate you...... were the Astas also invited to the harvest festival in the northern settlements?
"Yeah. Is Tool-Din invited, too?
"Yes. Din and Lid's ladies, who were supposed to help cook a feast. And the parents of the main house are invited."
Tour-Din had a radiant smile on his face. I can barely breathe my mouth when I'm followed.
"Then I'm extra happy. You're looking forward to a delicious feast."
"Yes! I'll do my best!
I wonder if one event is over, and a new event is upon us. After all, the gods in this world looked hairless with the intention of boring me.
Besides, today's event is not over yet. After this, it is a feast to celebrate at Castle Genos. I couldn't be happier because I could enjoy the feast along with Dim-Rutim and Ji-Mayam, who did a great job.
