042. Arena and Promise

It was a strange story. This is all Elna's fault. No, this may be Erna's protest against what I said was not true.

"Alan, it's unreasonable! Fight against that many people!"

"Yes! No matter how much Alain, that number is too large!"

"I'm glad you are worried, but it's a mock game, and I think this is probably necessary. Well, I didn't practice magic with Date. It's okay."

The adventurer's guild arrived immediately and called out to the reception because there was a staff member he knew.

"Hello, I wonder if you have vacant I Amyi's. Arena?"

"Alan-san, you have a lot of people today!

"Yes, please in one hour"

"Then it's a hundred guineas. You know, but if you hit a target, you'll pay extra."

"Ok, this is it."

He paid a hundred guineas and received the arena key.

"Well, what rule should I do? Erna"

"Yes, what should I do? Clelia-sama"

"First of all, use wooden swords, of course. Alan will not use attack magic, while the guards will be free to use magic."

"Cleria! That's not a fair game! No, it's not a fair game from the start ..."

"No, I think this is too sweet for Alan. I told him that attack magic was banned, but that doesn't mean he didn't use magic."

"What does that mean?"

"That means using some magic."

"Clelia is really sweet to Alan. For me, Alan does not use any magic, and she does not have a wooden sword."

"Sir Norian, are you joking?"

"I don't think I can beat this condition."

“… I see.

They all chose wooden swords that were in the arena, and are doing what they want. Well, everyone is really excited because Erna said something extra. I need to get hurt.

"I'm going in the half moon. I'm alone, but don't be careless."

"Captain, let me take the lead. I'll give you 10 seconds to gain time. Be ready in the meantime."

"What does that mean?"

"I understand right away."

"... OK, try it."

Ten seconds? Elna's guy came out big.

"Are both ready? Ready ... Start!"

"Wind cutter!"

Elna cast magic with the signal of the beginning. This was naturally expected.

"What!?"

Extremely slow speed than normal wind cutter! Elna is running behind the wind cutter blade. Indeed, this is an interesting hand. It's easy to avoid, but I'm curious how it works. Let's dating a little.

The speed of the wind cutter is faster than the speed at which Elna runs. So if you are distracted by magic, Erna will come closer and be cut off with a sword.

Wind cutters must be avoided. If magic can be used, it will cancel out, but magic is prohibited.

The speed of the cutter is too slow and still too fast to avoid. If you don't do it now, Elna will change the trajectory of the cutter and rely on it.

"Air Barrett!"

Don't use magic at unpleasant times. Judging from the flow of magical power, it was released in three directions at the same time. The front and my left and right. The Air Bullet must accelerate and avoid. Above!

I noticed as soon as I accelerated. Aiming at me, who accelerated and jumped into the air, Elna fired the Air Barrett without speaking. Perhaps he jumped up and read and released. He barely twisted his body and avoided it, but he couldn't avoid everything and was blown away by the Air Bullet. However, I managed to land on both feet.

"Yeah! Is that much damage when hitting Air Barrett?"

"No, I was surprised. I'll do it, Erna."

"Oh, it was the first and last chance to win ..."

"Go, Erna"

He accelerates and approaches Elna in an instant. Erna has not responded yet. He jumped up Elna's sword and struck down Elna's sword aiming at her hand.

"Ts!"

Erna is now off the line.

In the last two weeks or so of practicing magic, I have gained acceleration that would not be possible with this ordinary person. It's magic, of course, that you can move this way.

This is a recreation of the unobtrusive movements of a creature similar to the dog of the second salsa of the Elider system using magic. It's hard not to be noticed like the original family, but in nanom measurement, it can move at about three times the speed of normal operation.

Naturally, such movement cannot be continued continuously, and the maximum time that can be acted with one acceleration is about 2 seconds. If you continue beyond that, your muscles and tendons will not be able to withstand. The first time I succeeded in this magic, I was in a terrible mood to move around. After accelerating once, you need to heal lightly with healing magic. Therefore, it is not possible to accelerate continuously, and it takes about 5 seconds to accelerate once.

Being able to move at three times the speed of your opponent, even for only two seconds, is clearly a foul in the sword world. If you approach and accelerate, you will not lose with a sword.

"What! How fast?"

The guards were making a fuss. Let's finish it already. They approach each other in order, accelerating and knocking down wooden swords.

"What is this ?! What's going on?"

Looking at his friends who are dropping wooden swords one after another, he is already half panic. It was easy to drop wooden swords against such people.

"To that!"

When all fifteen knocked down the wooden swords, Clelia declared the end.

Most people were holding their arms and some were kneeling. Healing magic was released when all arms were locked on in a virtual window. Light falls on everyone's arms.

"Hey, is this a healing magic?"

"Yes, this is Alan's magic," said Clelia.

Silence wraps around.

"It's wonderful! This is the power of those loved by the goddess!"

An old man, whom Cleria called the Serio Baron, is about to cry. The guards seemed to have finally returned to me.

"Such an idiot ..." "What the hell is that!" "I can't believe it."

"It's not like this, Alain's ability. Let's show something interesting."

So Clelia stood 15 meters in front of me. Well, do you do that? That's not amazing.

Clelia held her hand and suddenly fired a fireball at me.

"" "Oh!" "

The guards are amazed.

I fired the fireball at the flying fireball. Magic is canceled out.

Next is the simultaneous firing of three fireballs. I also responded with three fireballs and the magic was gone.

Next is three flame arrows. I also respond with a flame arrow, but the speed was faster than the fireball, so the magic disappeared about three meters ahead of me. So scary.

Once again, silence wraps around.

When I looked around, they all looked pompous.

"Amazing ... just loved by God. Oh no doubt ..."

The Baron Cerio was already weeping.

The guards are in a fuss with stunned and screaming people.

"His Highness! Alan is too terrible, but what is his magic?"

"I and Elna teach Alan magic every day. Is she quite skilled?"

"It's hard to beat. Isn't it much better than the first court magician?"

"Speaking of which, Lord Norian's magic was amazing too."

"Alan! Please teach me the magic!"

"Me too!"

It was no longer out of control, but after a while everyone was finally settled down.

"His Highness, you surely showed me a glimpse of the one who was loved by God. To meet such a person is truly a princess. You have definitely inherited the good luck of the Ludvik family."

"Do you agree with Baron Cerio, too.

"If such a person is on your side, the end of our journey is bright! It's like you've got the goddess Luminous on your side. Oh! ! "

"Oh! Me too!"

"So, let's go back to the inn and finish the plan. Is that better, Alain?"

Clelia narrows her eyes and looks at me with scary eyes. dangerous! Seems quite angry. Speaking of which, I feel that the earlier frame arrow was faster than usual.

"That's right. Let's do it."

He returned the key to the arena and left the guild. Having decided that one or two rooms could be managed, we decided to have Captain Dulsim and Second Baron Cerio stay in the fertility.

"Alan, it was just amazing!"

"Really! I can do that kind of magic. I want to use magic soon!"

Serena and Sharon seem to be satisfied with the magic. After this I was depressed considering talking with Clelia.

I arrived at the inn and just had a double room, so I took room for Captain Dalsim and Baron Cerio. Speaking of my just acquaintance, the lodging charge was properly received.

Everyone's gaze comes to me.

"It's bad, can you talk with Clelia first?"

"... I see. I'll talk first."

Guide Clelia to my room. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we talked alone.

"Cleria, first apologize for the first time. I was sorry to tell everyone that I had a plan without permission."

"What are you going to do? Alain"

"I'm really sorry. I talked that way because I thought I could use this situation for what I wanted to do and what I needed to do."

"What is it? Alain has nothing to do with my country? What is Alan doing?"

"Clelia, I, no, we want to build a country on this continent.

"Huh?… Start a country?"

"Yes, we start a nation. We'll do this absolutely. With that thought, we really wanted to take advantage of Clelia's situation."

"Do we mean with Serena?"

"Yes, Serena, Sharon and me."

"Such ... only three people?"

Well, let's talk about Iris, general purpose bots and drones.

"Oh ... there are other people who can cooperate."

"... How many people?"

"I don't know the exact number, but it's more of a supporter."

"... Yeah, I want to start a country, so I'll start a country with people who follow me. Are you saying that?"

"... Yes, but I think it's a bit different from what Clelia imagines.

First, I start a country. If you don't want to be involved, Clelia doesn't have to.

I just want the Clelia to be people of the country I made. ''

"A country made by Alain ... how are you going to make a country?"

"Actually, we're already working on building our first base. We'll start gathering people at that base and building a city. Then we'll gradually expand."

(Iris)

[Yes, captain]

(How likely is it to take a base?)

[I have just started and do not know the exact date, but it is estimated to be one year]

(Yes, it takes a lot. Thank you, I understand)

"Where is the base?"

"It's a place called the Devil's Ocean"

"Alan! Do you know what the magical Taiki Sea is !?"

"Of course I looked up, but wouldn't it be possible to start a new country unless it was a suitable place?"

"... Maybe. But can you make a base in that place?"

"I can make it. I'm not worried at all. My collaborators are very capable."

"When will you be at that base?"

"About a year later."

"What would the nation do if we weren't there?"

"I was thinking about it. I thought it might be good to become a noble."

"So I was listening this morning."

"That's right. I don't think you can beat a demon, but it's famous and popular with the people."

"Yes. Alan will be able to defeat any monster .... Alan, I'm sorry but I refuse to talk about being a citizen of Aran."

"... Can I ask why?"

"First of all, even if you create a town by cutting through the magical sea of trees, I don't think that there will be peace of mind.

I think it will be a very harsh and difficult life. I can't take people who follow me to such places.

Second, the 2,000 people who will follow me are my uncle's servants on the transcript, and they don't want to live in Aran.

Those who will follow me in hopes of revenge on my uncle and his friends, and reclaiming their land. I can't just take them to the country of Alain against the will of them. ''

"... I didn't say this, but I'm going to build a nation and reign on this continent."

"Eh !?"

"Is it Starkweak, or Alois? If you want that country, you can give it to Celia. Of course, I don't know when it will be, but it should be possible while Celia is alive."

"Alan! Are you really saying?"

"I'm really serious, there's nothing more serious than that. If you talk about living in a base, can you decide after looking at the base? Don't stop, and that doesn't change the situation, right? "

"Alan, what is the reason for starting a nation? Alan is not a person who seeks power, he has no desire for control, and he has no desire for control. I do not know why Alain starts a nation."

"... I don't know if you believe it, but for the people who live on this continent."

"Do you want to build a nation for the people and claim victory over the continent?"

"Yes, you can swear."

"... What exactly do you do to start the country?"

"Education. Let the people know what's around them, the world, and live happily and fulfill their lives. That's all I want."

"In other words, does Alain start a country for the happiness of the people of this continent?"

"I can say that. Can you believe it?"

"I can't believe it suddenly"

"Even if I suddenly change and become a tyrant?"

"I don't say that ..."

"In that case, the country I create can be in the form of joint rule with Clelia."

It doesn't matter what the form of governance is. I just want the people, or imperial subjects, to learn science efficiently.

"Kyo, co-government !? That's that ... me and Alan?"

"Yes, we'll work together to govern the country. But let me say that I leave all the policies, methods, and laws on education to the people. We can't afford to unify the continents quickly, and if it's anything else, Clelia can decide. "

Clelia suddenly turns her face red. It would happened to?

"A, can Alain be me?"

Hmm? What does that mean? Ah, I can't rely on it, but is that OK? That would mean. The person I say about this is about Clelia, who I know. I don't mean to let someone else do this important thing.

"Of course, it's Clelia to say this."

"Is that so? I didn't notice it at all. I need some time to think ..."

"That's right. Should I leave?"

"No, Alain just sits down."

Clelia closed her eyes and began to think seriously. About five minutes later, I opened my eyes and smiled.

"Dear Alan Corinth, I want to accept the story I mentioned earlier, but there are three conditions.

First, as I mentioned, the situation of the base that Mr. Alan has prepared is different from what I think, and if the situation is unbearable to live in, this story should not be said.

Second, as we have said, the nation to be created will be governed jointly with me, and will govern under the consent of me except for the education of the people and continental unification.

Third, if the nation grabs Alois, let me take care of that territory entirely.

As long as I keep these three conditions, I promise to give everything and cooperate fully with Mr. Alan. ''

"Cleria Starvine, I promise to keep these three conditions .... Well, should I make a document or something? Clelia."

"It's already! It was a solemn and serious atmosphere, but it's not ruined! No documents needed!"

"No, I don't know this at all."

"Alan had to kneel down and say something like 'you're what you say'!"

"Well, yes, let's do it again!"

"It's okay! Anyway, the story is complete. Alan, be sure to keep your promise."

"Of course. Promise."

I gave my hand. that? Is there a habit of shaking hands on this planet? More than 70% of the human planet has a habit of shaking hands.

"What's this hand?"

"In my country, when we're all together we hold hands."

"Is that so a very interesting habit?"

Me and Clelia exchange their first handshake.
