It was that morning.
I fight in the magic center, so I keep wearing my usual clothes, but soda and hagis are not usual indoor clothes, they are easy to move, they are dirty clothes, they are both daring to choose clothes that use cheap fabrics that can be torn quickly, not clothes that use expensive fabrics.I thought Natori would use magic to fight, but it seems that he runs with the magician.I'm going to fight a lot tomorrow, so should I change into the same clothes as the Natori tomorrow?
The entrance to the arena was already overrun by many people.
Most of them are demons, some of them have grown horns like cattle, and some of them are as tall and as fat as pigs.It seems that various demon tribes are gathering from all over the world.
I'm scared.
May hugs Radica.Natori Dragon and Hagis are with us.Mao-chan is also involved in management, so I entered the venue first.
The current time is the athlete's admission time.Please wait until 8 o'clock for the general public. "
Such announcements echo over and over again.
We will start with Natori, who understands the demonic language, and clear the crowd to the athlete's entrance.
"Maybe Alisa Han Tesperk?
We stop because someone unexpectedly called us in the crowd.The Lord of Voices was a stranger.I'm a young man who looks about thirty years old.
"Yes, I'm Alisa."
"Really? It's good to see you!
The young man holds my hand.
"Excuse me, I am a recent exile from the kingdom of Wistaria, and I was wondering if Alisa was named to have the same power as the Demon King when two powerful Saviors appeared to hear the mystery of creating a new world that would shatter the kingdom of Wistaria and save all its people."
"Yes, I was told by the priest that it was me."
"Really! I appreciate that."
Young people weep happily and kneel on the ground on the spot.
"Do you know what is happening in the Kingdom of Wistaria?
"Yes, I know."
"Did you know that the King recently created a law to gather people in King's Landing to take good young people with gold, food and sprouts from various towns?
I thought it would be possible for Kutch III to do it, but how long have you been doing it?
"No, that's new to me."
"That's how I fled.Nowadays, residents of every town are being robbed of their property, have no food, live in poverty, and start eating together.Bandits also came out every night to ravage the town.That's no longer a place for people to live. "
"I fled a month ago, but is it worse?
"Yes, it has gotten worse rapidly recently.Do you know a town called Giff?
Listening to that, I face to face with May and Natori.
"Yes, I stopped at the gift box when I took refuge (see Chapter 3)"
"A rebellion broke out with that gift, but it was quickly suppressed, and the masterminds were killed with brutal torture."
"Nna..."
I blush and shake my whole body.
Is it true that the former lord was killed?My first impression was a gentle uncle, but was he killed?
Calm down, Alisa. We didn't make a mistake back then.
May says loudly from behind, but I lie down.
"Because it was so cruel, the story spread across the country, and the people couldn't do anything to resent the king and were just waiting for his imminent death.More villages and towns have chosen to commit mass suicide.Starting from a place called Ikuhino, innocent people are dying one after the other. "
‥ ‥ ‥ ‥
The man looks up at me and pleads loudly.
"Alisa, please save the lives of those who live in that country.I went into exile with my wife and children, but I left my grandfather, grandmother and relatives.That country is over! "
"I understand."
I put one knee on the ground and gently put my hand out to the man.
"Please stand up. I will serve as the right arm of the Demon King.I'll take care of it.Don't worry. "
"Thank you."
The man holds my hand and stands up.
◆ ◆ ◆
We enter the arena from the entrance for athletes.The hallway in the arena is like a baseball field, there is no straight path, and it is bent all the way.Is there baseball in this world?
There are not many people besides us, as the public entrance is still open.It's very empty from the outside and from the back.
"... in the last month, things have gotten really tough."
Soda ties her hands behind her head and looks at the ceiling blurrily as she walks.
That's right...
I respond without strength, fluffy and floating.
It was bad enough when we were on our asylum journey, but it was worse than it is now.Given that, the cold doesn't stop.What kind of journey would it have been a month later?
"Uchi, I don't know much about politics.But I know it's going to be a big deal. "
Hagis also reads the air and speaks with a modest and energetic voice.
"I know Natori, the former lord.I have spoken with the family while eating.I wonder if my family was executed together. "
Natori says. Natori's parents' house is located near the Giff, so I'm sure they have a lot to do with the Gifts.For Natori, the whole gift may be like home.
I gently touch one ear of soda.It is fluffy and pleasant to touch.
"Hey, where do I suddenly touch it? Tickling."
"Ehehe, I think it's time to finish the dark story."
When I smile, Natori nods silently for a while.
"Ah, there's a crowd, but what is it?
Hagis points forward.Is it some kind of posting? The crowds that gather before that are amazing.
When we went to see it, it was a tournament table.It is written in large part in the "Individual Match Tournament Table" and in the Magic language.
At the bottom of the poster, there was a stack of paper with the same tournament table, so we each pull out one sheet at a time and get out of the crowd.
"I can't read the name because it's written in demonic language.It says my name, too, but where?
I'll check with sodium.
Soto told me where Mao-chan is.I have a name near the middle of the tournament table to the right.Meanwhile, Oni-chan has a name on the left edge.In this position, you will still be fighting in the finals.
There are 235 participants, of whom about 20 are seeds and the number of matches is small once.Me and Mao-chan are seeds, so the number of matches is seven.I will finish two rounds by today, so I will have 64 people left tomorrow.Oh, you're going to shake off quite a bit today.However, of the 234 matches, 171 will be digested today.By contrast, less than half of the 63 matches will be played tomorrow.Does that mean that there are many games that are overwhelming in strength today and will end soon?After checking the period of the tournament written on the back of the paper, it says that it will end between 21: 00 and 22: 00 today.
"Does that mean I only have one match today?You play six games per person tomorrow.It feels like tomorrow is the real thing. "
"Sodium is not a seed, so we're going to fight twice today."
We're seeds now.It's just the same as Tesperk. "
Each will look at the tournament table and change their position.
"Even so, there are quite a few 235 of them."
As soon as I snap, Hagis will reply.
"I only play about 80 to 100 people in my usual personal games.This time it's 100 million bells, so we're all in a good mood. "
"A hundred million bells will buy us a luxurious house.I will let you live at dawn, Natori, and eventually Tesperk will work for the royal castle, so it won't be a problem to hire servants. "
Natori has already started talking on the assumption that she will win.
"We don't make a hundred million Bells.First of all, don't buy luxurious potted plants for 100 million bells.Don't exhibit the bonsai work you made and get a cheap prize.Don't buy a lot of wedges with that money.Jururi "
Hagis also tells his dreams.Someone is coming out now.
"Anyway, I don't care what the soda wins, but if there's 100 million bells in Tesperk, what will it be used for?
Natori looks at me and asks me.
Hmm...
I didn't think about money at all.
"I don't think I need that much money.If you spend time with her, you'll be happy.Ehehe, I promised her I'd date her after the finals. "
I laugh at you very much.If you can't make it to the finals, don't think about breaking the game or Ma-chan attacking with all her might in the finals.Dreams are only dreams.
Tesperk, your face is creepy.
"That's terrible, Hagis.Come on, everybody!
"Ooh! - Whoa!
We stick our fists high towards the sky.
