Episode 67: Just Before the Finals (For Lily Herschel)

"Ready!? You're definitely gonna win this! Losing is unacceptable! You know what I mean?

In preparation for the final, that's how belly-up middle-aged teaching rolls up against Lily, who is taking a break in the holding room.

The figure is indisputable, a teaching that previously gave Lily a covert instruction to lose the final.

That flipped, and now I'm harshly ordering Lily to be sure she wins.

But naturally, the instructions are not for Lily's sake, but for her own protection.

Because if many nobles, starting with the Duke, were to watch and lose to the civilian population with all their chosen players, his position would be lost, not only in the college, but also in the wider aristocratic community.

Though the civilians are out, I'm bumping into words like that on this occasion right now, thinking that if Lily wins in the finals, she'll be able to get some drinks down.

On the contrary, however, its words and actions from teaching, which should otherwise be a respectable position, cast a shadow on Lily's mind.

And let them know that there are no more teachers to guide them.

"I know. I will definitely win......"

Behind those words, Lily's willingness for the finals is shredded more and more, wondering if these people have to fight to preserve themselves.

The teacher, who heard a single reply, left the room still manifesting his anger and impatience.

And Lily repeatedly asked herself if this was really okay in her mind, but there was no answer to that even after the finals.

On the finals stage, a huge cheer that I've never bathed in my life before engulfs Lily.

Relative is a woman of the same age with red hair as if it were a flame.

The tournament is registered as a student of the country college, but its identity is Anna, the daughter of the Demon King and her eldest daughter.

I have to lose in the finals anyway.

That's what I was thinking. Lily hadn't watched a single game ever played in the opposite mountain.

But when I hear that Maia got kicked in the semifinals, I only know that there are not just any opponents to fight from now on.

Lily then invites the unpleasant emotions from the guest table to be directed at her, whispering that the cheer is directed toward her, not herself.

But still, I walk over to honor the person in front of me.

Anna, who sensed Lily was looking for a handshake, also started walking toward her.

And when each other's hands overlapped...

A shock ran as if a current had flowed through Lily's brain.

What she perceived from that opponent was neither the feeling of her overlapping hands, nor that strength that had been passed on through it.

"Why..."

"Hmm? Did I say something?

"Why do I smell a teacher from you...?

That feeling that tickled the nasal cavity stimulated the brain, which became the word and spun it.

"What? What are you talking about? Smell?"

Suddenly thrown the word, Anna naturally shows a bewildering reaction.

Then I put my nose on my sleeve and do a trick to smell it.

"Mine, it smells like my teacher. You can't go wrong! How did that come from you?

Lily strengthens her tone.

Lily was sure it belonged to Frey, as the saying goes.

That smell I smelled during class, during my training in the squad, when I had him lie and nag me that I was tired and unable to move, and when I hid and hugged the jacket he'd taken off.

Considering that there's no way she could go wrong, Lily stuffs herself with Anna.

It's from the beloved Frey that I haven't ingested in months. It had completely taken reason away from Lily.

"Smell or my teacher? Oh... well, I see..."

In contrast, Anna immediately perceived the situation by recalling the impatient look on her face and the word "ex-teacher" she had heard from Frey the other day, although it was not through the finesse of the relationship between the sexes.

"Answer me! Where is the teacher now!? What are you my teacher!?

"I don't know. But... if you want answers, you can just flip me down with that sword and then you can hear it out, okay?

Then, pointing to the long sword carried on its hips, he rolled out words of provocation to draw all his might from the opponent in front of him.

And that worked many, many tens of times better than Anna had imagined.

"Ok...... You don't know that word if you're sorry, do you?

By that word of Anna, all the depressing emotions that accounted for Lily's chest until the moment before disappeared in an instant.

"Oh......, looking forward to it"

From the girl with the beautiful golden hair in front of her, Anna shivers her body with pure animosity.

In preparation for the start of the match, the two return to their predetermined positions.

No more cheering in the ears of the two facing each other.

And the signal to announce the showdown echoed the venue.
