Soon after that, I asked Mr. Amr to draw a map, and we jumped out of the Adventurer's Guild. We were running down the alley in Nieberg for the arena.

And it's a big town.

Not even the people who live here will know everything about this town.

If Mr. Amr hadn't written me a map, I would have been in an alley like this... absolutely lost.

"This way, is it this way!?

"Yeah, according to Mr. Amr's map...... oh, I see you, Lord!

When I went out onto the boulevard, I saw a large circular arena on its front.

I guess tens of thousands will go in... I can't imagine from this distance but I can only tell it's huge anyway.

"But this..."

"You're an amazing person...... the boulevard doesn't seem to be possible. Not like this..."

The boulevard is literally filled by people and it's even hard to walk properly.

The flow of people is going to the arena, but I'm sure we're all on the audience's side, and it's not very distracting to this crowd, but it's not going to make it.

I took Levi back to the alley once, where I took out my notebook.

"Brewnak!"

"Hey Lord, all over town......!

"I know. I'm gonna run through the roof, so get in, Levi."

"I see... I get it"

Bear Levi, kick the wall and run up to the roof.

As I left to the roof of the building, I still saw a huge arena.

"Big...... thanks to you I appreciate knowing the way forward though. Hold on tight, Levi."

"Yes, Lord"

I run carefully over a flat roof with Levi on my back.

There are probably a lot of relatively flat roofs because it's not a very snowy area.

This is easy to run, and if you're careful not to fall, you're going to make it.

As we run on the roof, the arena grows bigger and bigger.

Probably would have been built using magic. That even made me feel like I'd be soooo into a small mountain or so.

"Dear Lord, it's time to go down!

"Right! Hold on, Levi!

"Ha!"

We jumped off the roof, took Brewnak and ran further to the arena.

Already in front of me, a huge circular arena soared up, and as I ran along that circle looking for the entrance, I saw two men caring about the clock under a sign that said reception.

Time is critical...... can we make it!?

"Yes! Reception is over..."

"Excuse me! I'd like to leave!

Did you make it...?

"Of!? I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm out of here... sorry about the rules..."

"I'd really like to allow it, but you're being punctual. Because if you admit a special case, there will be more participants from the next to the next... Sorry"

"Really..."

Shit... I'm making a wild boarding decision today...

Besides, I don't know if there will be any requests tomorrow, and I'm sure there will be many adventurers so the multiplier......

"Sorry Levi... my thoughts are shallow..."

"No, I should have told Lord... I'm sorry..."

I have no choice. Do you want to use the carriage to go to another town?

Um, mountain vegetables, mushrooms, I hope we can hunt later......

Want me to ask for a failnote...... ha, sorry Levi......

"Hey, these guys are in... will you admit it?

――――――――――――――――――――――

"It's been a while..."

"That's right..."

"You haven't found out, have you?

"Sounds fine. I'm covering my face."

The two of us weave our matching black hooded capes and we walk down Nieberg Boulevard.

I'm gonna be a little late, but, well, I'm not leaving, and that's all right.

When my face finds out, I make a fuss, and I wish I could get to the arena without being noticed like this.

"But you're looking forward to it every year."

"Hmm... uniform. But the last few years have been terrible. You'll realize the level of adventurers is dropping. I don't think I can expect it this year. I can't tell you this."

I'm called as a special guest at this tournament every year, but I haven't had much of a temper in the last few years.

I like the way the adventurers fight, and I was happy to have strong adventurers out, but there have been very few strong newcomers lately.

This tournament has also been won by a highly-ranked guy for several years now, as previously reputed, and continues to be particularly uninteresting.

It's also true that many people in town are coming to see the biggest madness, and that the tournament itself is a success every year but maybe not enough.

That's why I'm one of them.

"I hope there's someone interesting this year"

"Right...... uh, but is he leaving? What a name... I recently crusaded two names..."

"Hey Lord, all over town......!

"Yeah, yeah, it's Lord. What, huh?

When I saw those who spoke, a man with a spear was carrying a maid.

It's a strange sight.

Hit me... is that the Lord?

Then the guy jumped a few meters and climbed up as he alternately kicked the walls of the two buildings.

"Ooh..."

"Wow, that's amazing......!

As he reached the roof, he ran out to the arena.

No one can do that.

Apparently, he's on the road, and he's going to take part in a martial arts competition.

"Hehe, you had fun, didn't you?

"Oh... let's run too!

"Yep! Oh, wait. Yo!

Run through the boulevard in parallel with the road running on the roof.

Awesome...... pretty fast.

I go through the crowd using magic, and he runs on the roof with people in his arms, so I don't know which one is generally faster... but to be honest, just make me think so is the real deal.

Because there is such a guy...... the adventurer is hilarious!

I finally see the receptionist and two guys there care about the clock.

Not good...... can those guys make it?

Then the road jumped all at once from the building and when it landed beautifully it ran straight to the reception.

That... where's the spear?

Besides, I feel like it's a little later than just now... can we?

"Yes! Reception is over..."

"Excuse me! I'd like to leave!

"Of!? I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm out of here... sorry about the rules..."

"I'd really like to allow you... to be punctual... because if you admit a special case, there will be more participants next to next... sorry"

"Really..."

Oh, come on, seriously... even the guy looks funny because of it...

Hmm... It's very safe right now.

I don't really want to do this...... it's a shame you can't see those guys here.

"Hey, these guys are in... will you admit it?

"Huh...?

"Hey, what are you...? Excuse me, but the rules are the rules..."

"Right...... then I can't go in there because I'm late too. Too bad."

"Did you want to join us, too? Sorry, but it's time..."

"No, I'm called"

"Huh? Ah... no way..."

I'll take the hood and show my face to the receptionist.

At that moment, their complexion changed.

I hate this kind of power - well, I can't help it.

"Oh, was it you......! I'm sorry for your rudeness......!

"No, that's okay. But I think this guy was in critical time... what do you think?

"Wow, I get it! So critical safe......!

"Thank you. I'll never forget your kindness."

"Yes! It's an honor!"

I saw a shivering load.

I have a good body.

Best of all, I have good eyes.

Yeah...... I knew I could expect it.

"Good for you, boy. I saw you here on the edge of something, your fight... let me see it, huh?

"Oh, thank you! I'll do my best!"

"Oh, goodbye. I hope so."

"Yes!

"Oh, come in here. Apart from the officials entrance... Oh, you're that way. Hey, show him around."

"Where do you want it?

"There was something less than one team. Let's do it there."

Road is led to another receptionist and taken to a different entrance.

Before he was blind, he turned this way and bowed again.

Courtesy, you're a good guy.

"Ha... ha... a little too fast... Ugh!

"Are you okay, Alice?"

"It's not ok................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Phew. So, did you make it?

"Critical. Hey... I'm looking forward to it now."

"Phew, good for you...... Mr. Byrne"

――――――――――――――――――――――

The receptionist guides you to the athlete's holding room.

Once inside, there are many adventurers there, and they seem to be at least seventy or so.

It's party-by-party participation, so it's probably 17 or 8 parties here alone.

Maybe there's another holding room.

"Oh... wow"

"That's quite a lot"

"Well, write this down here."

Fill in the Participation Reception Form with your name and occupation, and party members.

When I gave it to the receptionist, they gave me one piece of paper after confirming it.

"All right, now you're open to participation. Read it carefully because it says the rules of this tournament or something on that paper. The opening ceremony will begin in a while, so wait here until then. Good luck with that."

Thank the receptionist and we'll sit on the bench that was vacant for now.

Still... I didn't think I could do it anymore, but thanks to that guy I was saved.

Who the hell is that?

"Levi, did you see him?"

"I'm sorry...... I was embarrassed to lose track. However, it must be obvious from the attitude of the receptionist that he is quite famous."

"Right... some royalty or something?

"It was classy... I don't know."

"Well now I can't help but think... he's watching this tournament, and I have to thank him again next time I see him"

"Right. Let's just check the rules."
