Ryuugoroshi no Sugosuhibi

The announcement brings us back to the modest room except for the first player in the game.

Kosuke's turn is in the afternoon, even if things are going well.

Morning matches can be seen in the private rooms provided, and lunch and drinks will also be provided by the competition side. So Kosuke is going to go to a private room until he turns up.

Returning to the room was quick, showing what was going on before the game.

The first match is a battle between Magic Absorption Gift Holding and Speed Enhancement Gift Holding.

Magic Absorption, as its name suggests, can capture magic. However, the magic effects used must be nurtured up to the third stage to disable them, and the previous stages of growth will reduce the effect and take in the excess magic by reducing it.

Speed enhancement not only enhances physical speed of action, but also speeds up thinking. In the first stage of growth, physically, it increases by 5%, and thoughts can think for three seconds in a second. Ultimately, the physical velocity is increased by 20%, and thought is the ability to think for ten seconds in a second.

This match was won by speed enhancing gift holders. We attacked them without magic, so their gifts were in vain.

This victory would be due to remembering the information that the announcement brought.

The game goes well, pinching the noon break, and Kosuke's turn comes.

The game between Bordos and Retai, which was in the morning, was over with a Retai win. Bordos attacked a little nasty but resolutely, hitting him hard many times. But Retai fought back without worrying about them and lowered Bordos.

Retired gear consists of a hard leather armor and toenail with a breast plate and a thin iron plate. It's easy to guess that you can't possibly be attacked by Bordos with those, but have some kind of gift.

"I'm finally taking off my mysterious veil! Admission of Ride One and Sheddin!

The two, who were waiting in the aisle, go up to the stage and face each other at the call of the announcement.

The atmosphere of the venue is booming when the battle of the rides, many of which were considered mysterious, can finally be seen.

"If I lose this, I'm a good spot for a dog.

That's perfect, let me win this battle. "

Shedin declares by pointing finger at Mitsuke Minato.

The audience, who decided they would have done something close to provocation with their tricks, although not the kind of voice that would reach the audience, each sends a discretionary cheer to Shedin.

Against Shedin, Kosuke silently moves to invite his index finger and middle finger.

"Apparently you've been provoking both before it started!

You won't be able to wait either. Me too!

We'll start the Ride vs. Shedin game with this...... here we go!

It was Yusuke who moved on the signal of initiation. First of all, I get beat up for watching how things are going and pretty fast. Even so, it is the subjectivity of Kosuke, and from the surroundings, it is a speed that can be considered the top of the tournament.

Shedin moves her body a little without hurry. The kick, which was then released, was also avoided with a light backstep.

"Moving rides at high speeds and lightly avoiding them Shedin!

How does it work from here!

Keisuke continues to attack as she listens to the narrative of the announcement. Attacks are not just honest, but feints are put in as well. But even Shedin keeps avoiding it. However, it is best to avoid it, or there is no counterattack yet.

Keeping moving, Kosuke thinks.

(Is this the future forecast)

That's the name of Shedin's gift.

When he was introduced by the announcement, he also mentioned the gift. Even so, I haven't said anything in detail. Therefore, we continue to attack both gathering information and gathering information.

What we now know is that Shedin is not just watching and avoiding Kosuke's attacks, but avoiding them based on accurate information such as movements in various parts of his body.

By analogy with the first time he attacked, he had already moved sideways when Kosuke took a step forward. I guess I cut off the slightest move of the first one.

It gathers information from the process, predicts and reacts to results, and even discerns the presence or absence of feints.

One more thing I found out. That looks like there's plenty of room from the announcement and audience I'm looking at from afar, but Kosuke, who's looking at Shedin's expression nearby, knows how focused he is and doesn't seem to be able to afford it.

(I don't know unless I try, but maybe I can't react more than this speed)

If you increase your speed just a little to try it, you will attack the hard-leather armor that Shedin is wearing.

Kosuke, who found out he had an idea, stopped laughing and weighing himself down.

Kosuke, who stopped moving, jumps back a lot. Shedin dropped it off.

If the gift was predictable, it could have moved into pursuit, but Shedin's gift is a future prediction that gathers and judges fine information such as the beginning, the gaze, and previous movements. I can't handle unpredictable movements. I knew I was going down, but I didn't know what I was going down for, and I didn't chase him off guard.

Now Shedin will see how things are going.

Under the mask of illusion, Yusuke's mouth moves. Grains of light gather on the right foot of Yusuke, who took a meaningless stance from Jen-royalty.

I didn't miss that announcement.

"Ride's feet stain the light! Is this a precursor to the big move?!?

This light is only illusory, and nothing works except it glows as it should.

But Shedin, who made the same decision as the announcement's words, comes in to try to stop the activation.

Kosuke jumps forward a lot to avoid it. And while in the air, the light emitted a strong glow.

Now I could see sprinkling grains of blue light like a whirlpool, and everyone in the venue regarded some moves as complete.

Kosuke, who landed, approaches Shedin at today's best speed without stopping, releasing a flying kick.

At this time Kosuke was whispering and muttering about the ride kick.

Shedin, who couldn't react even though he knew he was coming, gets a decent kick in the chest.

At that moment, a painfully strong flash in the eye and an explosion that does not fit into the venue and smoke that covers and conceals the stage occur simultaneously on the stage. Of course, all of this is a performance by Kosuke.

The venue quiets back to the sight of losing its temper.

Shedin falls off the stage, falls and doesn't move.

"... so, someone!? Sheddin's cheap or not!

Instruct Shedin to see how the announcement returned to me looks.

The audience returned to me in the voice of the announcement, and I heard the twirl from there on purpose.

The performance of Yusuke led them to think that Shedin might have died. It was an overproduction.

The waiting nursing staff rushes over to Shedin. Inform the announcement of the judgment made by examining the injury, pulse, and breath.

The relieved sigh of the announcement echoed the venue when I heard it.

"I'll pass on the diagnosis.

So much so that I have cracks in my chest bones that my life doesn't have anything else!

That's why the winner rides!

I get loud cheers as soon as I can.

That's right, everyone is convinced that they just got the recommendation and expects it in the future.

Responding with one hand up to applause and cheer, Kosuke returns to the modest room thinking about making it a ride punch next.

The game after this also ends inconveniently, and the tournament round one ends.

The best game of the day was that of Kosuke, who skipped everyone's temper. There were other interesting games like the Fairy Silf battle, which rarely showed how to fight, and the Beastman vs. Beastification gift holding, but they took it all to the impact of the ride kick.

By the way, Kosuke, who returned to the inn, was asked what kind of moves Ellis had made, answered with a flying kick with no weirdness whatsoever added to the performance, and was stunned.

The next day's game has two and three games, both of which Kosuke wins without struggling.

In World War II, he fought physical control gift-holding, and in World War III, he fought duplicitous hygoblins. Unlike small goblins, Hygoblins have nearly two metres of body.

Physical control gifts are things like being able to move your body the way you want it to. When grown, they can move to ignore joints, inertia and even gravity. However, the burden on the flesh is not completely reduced, and a gift that can also have a suicide bombing if you make unscrupulous movements.

In the game, the opponent was prepared to fight with suicide bombers, and Kosuke, who opposed him, learned that he could make such moves, not to the same extent, but countered them with more moves than ever before. It was an acrobatic game in the middle and a game that the audience enjoyed greatly.

In the highgoblin battle, he avoided all attacks, closed the gap, grabbed the highgoblin, and threw it offstage with one hand to win.

It was a plain game compared to previous games, but it was a game that I learned was not only fast but also muscular.

The next day is finally the last day.

In WW4, he fought Armacella Stream Swordsman, who used a brief gift, turned the ride kick into a smokescreen, wrapped his illusion around his fist in the time he earned and won with a ride punch.

A brief gift effect is that it allows omission of behavior. Extremely, it is also possible to use magic without prep motion. Though I know it will be so in the testimony of God because no one has ever been extreme before.

This swordsman was not extreme, but he omitted some of the motion when waving his sword, shifting the timing of his opponent's defense or dodging.

Kosuke didn't matter if he was attacked, so he was attacked without worrying about being mistimed.

Previous games have found him to be in a three-beat status of strong, fast and strong, whispering that he might be a winning candidate.

And the semifinals. Everyone was convinced it was the best game of the tournament right now.

It's a Ride vs. Retire game.

The two are on stage, facing each other and waiting for the signal to start the game.

Retai smiles uncomfortably and looks at Kosuke. I can't wait to fight the battle.

"Finally, this is the time! Even my previous reputation is rumored to be a de facto final, and I agree!

I pinched it in my little ear, but the percentage of the bet is almost five minutes. Having two winning experiences means slightly more people have bet on retail.

You guys won't be able to wait. Neither do I.

So let's get going. "

Here the announcement breathed heavily, announcing the start with temper and anticipation.

"Match, let's go!

It was Kosuke who moved. Retai is just as eager to wait as he has been in previous games.

Yusuke's fist rushes straight to Retai. Retire takes it with a crossguard with his arms crossed. Seeing the Bordos battle, I know that half-breed power makes no sense, so I don't hesitate to put my strength into it.

Gazn, I don't think the flesh and the flesh hit each other. The sound sounds. Many captured this as a real signal for the start of the game.

After a moment stops, Kosuke punches him continuously on the spot. Retirement avoids, recieves and defends it at times. There's nothing you can call an effective hit, but it's an attack that's done enough damage if it's ever been defended by a match opponent.

But Retai has a flat face.

"Surprised. There's a little damage coming in."

I say don't show any surprise.

(Is it a gift with an absolute defense against physical damage?

Yusuke, who thought so, then leaves Retai saying it is magic.

Retai doesn't follow that and still doesn't break the waiting attitude.

Kosuke, who thought a ranged attack would not suit Ride One, decides to hit the magic with a little ingenuity. It's something I don't normally do, but Kosuke, who forgets his weight, does it rather with a norinoli.

First, put the right fist you gripped over your head. Then with your left hand, slowly stroke down from your right fist to your elbow. He makes it look like he's ready for some kind of move, and he's actually just putting his sleeve down. Finally, he whispered, using the magic of the flame sphere, making the appearance of the position of the raised right fist. It's a burning fist.

It's my first time doing this, so I thought I'd do about a burn, but the truth is, I didn't even chill, it was just hot. That heat is just as much as a slightly over-boiled bath, something I can stand. In fact, it's about the same temperature as a normal flame, but it's demon-resistant enough to be tolerated.

(Let's go! Flaming positive fist poking, anomalous ride punch!

Retai struck with impetus, motionless from the spot, and was crossguarded again.

The flame spreads and disappears involving both.

Seeing the spare look of Retai beyond the flames, Kosuke was surprised that there was no magic either.

The only thing I've ever found out is that it's a defensive gift.

(Should I deal with this with all my strength in interpersonal?

Think away again.

Follow that gap and let Retai slap the boneless sword in his hand. A sword that prioritizes weight and sturdiness over sharpness. Previously, opponents have sunk with counters using this. You can't call it a counter because you were attacking a gap opponent after they attacked you. This is exactly the right way to fight, killing meat and breaking bones.

Kosuke doesn't avoid all of this attack, he takes some.

(Nothing special about attack power.

Is it the defensive side that's troublesome)

Guard the slash from the upper section with your left arm, then take a step straight ahead and hit the palm on Retai's chest.

There is no damage, but the momentum is indelible and can be moved backwards Retired.

If you hit him harder, you might be able to do damage, but then Kosuke thinks it lacks exuberance. I was starting to get obsessed with all the heroes, no, I was getting stuck.

Did you mistakenly think you were worried about that condition, or Retai opens his mouth and starts explaining the effects of the gift.

"Normal attack. Then you can't do me any damage.

My gift reduces damage. Can reduce all damage.

If it's possible, it's like that glowing kick. "

Thanks to the gift, even though it's very defensive, it's perfectly defensive, so the damage taken is minimal.

I explained it because I don't have any problems with it.

The way we deal with this on the spot is enough to prepare for a high level of aggression. If it weren't for these games, you could use traps, poisons and other pranksters.

"Come on over there.

I'll intercept with the right moves, too.

I wasn't going to use it here right now with the moves I was preparing for the Rubidasian family owner. "

(If that's what you want, why don't we use it?

But I'm gonna have you hang out with the show.)

Yusuke takes the stand and shines his legs with illusions. Retai holds the sword with both hands and stands on the lower left. My mouth moves and I'm ready for some magic.

Take a step forward without either.

Yusuke keeps going straight and releases a flying kick. Retirement also runs somewhat, jumping up and swinging up the sword. And use the magic of an explosion behind your own back and gain momentum with that shock. It's a unique acceleration method that can reduce damage.

(Ride kick!)

"Say no to both swords!

Yusuke's flying kick and Retai's momentum swing collide.

Flashes, explosions and smoke, just like before.

Shortly after that, Yusuke, who had gathered smoke, blew up and saw him fall into the floor.

Running over to Kosuke, Retai chases him. He is blown away again by a swinging sword and rolls to the edge of the stage.

Retai thinks he would have done a lot of damage, and the audience thinks the same thing. Truth is, it doesn't contain a lot of damage. Genou's divine argument was more painful.

Once in a predicament, we lost the reversal play from it, just because we bumped into each other.

Retai approaches and waves his sword continuously to Yusuke, who performs a standing up act.

"Rush, rush! The situation leaned toward Retai!

I manage to prevent rides but will the battle be decided as it is!? Or reverse it!?

Excited to talk about the situation accelerated by the announcement.

Kosuke, who has prevented or eaten to some extent, distances himself enough, and the magic of the gust prevents him from approaching Retai.

Seeing Yusuke take the stand while performing a large shoulder breathing act, Retai stops moving on and stops at the spot.

"You're on your last bet!

Fine, let's take that blow. And I'll show my victory to the audience!

Retired, unaware of the act and mistaken for the last evil reward, crosses arms and takes the form of defense.

Besides, Kosuke smiles under the mask of illusion, creating a different illusion than ever before.

"This!? A tiger!? At the foot of the ride is a tattoo imitating a tiger! Is it a big move for the ride!?

Plus the ever blue light turns red, and both feet stain the light, not one!

Using flying magic, Yusuke jumps up as if he had jumped. When he reached the apex, he cone-rubbed and spun his body into the retie.

From the tip of his protruding right foot, a band of red light appears and swirls along the rotation.

"A tornado! A tornado of red light is going to retake and thrust!

(This is Hurricane Ride Kick!

To the pressures of the impending red mass, Retai caught cold sweat wondering if this was sooner.

Soon after, Kosuke's kick hits Retai's crossed arm.

Kosuke's rotation does not stop, and the retie he is receiving drops slightly. I can't afford that look.

The rotation lasted about ten seconds before stopping. The light on his right leg also went out.

"I endured it. I endured it!

He grinned and retie barked as he endured the great pain he had not felt in a long time.

The audience has also endured the last attack, and now I wonder if Kosuke's defeat.

Betraying those thoughts, Kosuke jumps up again with Retai's arm as a stepping stone.

(Thought this might happen!

"Ride jumped up again. Ah! Wasn't the attack over yet?!?

Yusuke, who jumped up, twirls around to turn forward and falls for a retie.

"Is this a no way!?

The announcement predicts the outcome after this and raises his voice.

(Ride heels down!

"That was no way! It's a decided heel drop.

A spinning, momentous heel drop hits Retai's shoulder on his left leg, which is still emitting light.

On a stage with clear wind and smoke, you can see a diagram called Retai falling to the ground and Yusuke standing by it.

Red mufflers in the wind, few admired the way they stood only on the ground after a fierce battle.

Retirement, who was damaged by pushing through the gift effect on the first blow, couldn't stand the second blow he had dealt solid damage, even though it was weaker than the first.

"Confirm the referee!

After waiting for plenty of fifteen seconds or so, the announcement confirming that Retirement is not moving at all calls to a referee who is off stage to check on the situation.

The referee lowers Kosuke by more than three meters to check the state of the retail.

The risen referee crossed his arms, indicating that Retai was passing out.

"It's settled! It's settled!

The winner, it wasn't. The finals are decided on the ride.

Loud cheers and applause wrap the venue. I can also hear a thriving voice coming from outside the venue.

As the announcement went wrong, neither does the audience doubt Kosuke's victory. Some of them are hoping for further madness, but that was a minority.

The final was supposed to be an hour and thirty minutes after the break... but the opponent declined and Kosuke's victory was decided.

The dismissed player saw the semi-finals and thought he couldn't beat Ride or Retire himself. However, I am tempted to impose further training on myself and win next time.

The audience also did not blame the decision, and most were convinced that there was no choice.

With the defeat and victory of Retai, the name of the ride will be widely echoed by the continent of Calhoed.

Later, it can also happen that humans from the Calhodes and Sebsic continents talk about riders and lean their necks at the difference in the topic of imaginary rides as actual rides and theatre as athletes.

The award ceremony begins after Retai wakes up.

On stage are Yusuke, Retai, players who have declined to reach the finals, players who have lost to them and competition officials.

Each will be handed the words of celebration and the prize money from the old man in charge of the Games. Five flash coins, hereinafter three, one, and five gold coins will be reduced to the winning Kosuke.

Bounty was also out for Bordos, who competed in the tournament, and a piece of gold had been handed to him when he lost and returned to the modem.

In addition to the prize money, Yusuke was also given the winning flag, but this will be stored on the tournament side, so it is not easy for the luggage.

After the awards ceremony, I thought all I had to do was go home, but the head of the tournament calls on the players to participate in the launch.

(I wonder if it's something I can join, this.

If you don't join, the Rubidasian family might bother you, but if you do, why don't you get in trouble or something?

Keisuke, thinking about what to do, rushes to the bathroom to ask Ellis for instructions, where she unwraps her transformation and heads to the designated seat where Ellis and the others are supposed to be.

The announcement conveys precautions to those who return. The content was that there was a demonic queen named Roughdworm a day east of the city, stopping her from traveling on foot or by carriage for a while.

A rough worm is a subspecies of the Mimiz demon that was previously in the ruins at the request of Wiale's brother. That's a carnivore that people eat, and this one eats dirt just like a mite. Except for the blemishes that make the soil fatter. Unlike them, they absorb all the nutrients of the soil. A monster designated as such.

The queen is generally a giant, seven metres long and four necks and two tails, with no special attacks but extraordinary shavings. In the past, there was also a queen named Six Neck Five Tails, with a record of destroying one city.

On his way to the designated seat, Kosuke is lucky enough to bowl to Ellis and Wiale. There was nothing left to see after the tournament, so I was about to go home.

"Ah, Mr. Koske! It was amazing!

"What's the matter, you're in a hurry?

Talk to the two of you at the end of the aisle to avoid getting in the way of traffic and not being asked what to talk about with it.

Yusuke talks a lot about the situation and asks what to do.

Ellis, consulted, thinks a little.

"Join us and go home early.

That would not crush the face of the Rubidasian family.

Use the magic of weird voices when talking to it. If you don't want to talk, you better. "

"Okay. Then I'll go back to the barn."

"Wait a minute. Are you hurt or something? That's all I want to hear."

Ellis told me that what was being pushed was an act, but I was still worried about Wiale.

She replied with a grin that it was about a scratch on that Weale, and Kosuke disguised herself in a hallway with no sign of a person, returning to the understatement.

"Ah, Mr. Ride."

Back in the booth, there was a tournament official who changed from a troubled look to a relieved look.

"I'm moving on, follow me"

Yusuke nodded and followed those involved in the upcoming tournament.

Several carriages are available in front of the venue, plus athletes and tournament officials.

The tournament officials, who led him to the carriage where Yusuke was supposed to ride, told him to wait a moment and leave. We have everyone on the move before we leave.

It didn't take that long for everyone to leave, but Yusuke, who had too many features in his appearance, was noticeable. When we left, people were gathering so hard that the carriage was difficult to move.

You're being awkward, you don't come near me or talk to me, but Yusuke was just a little annoyed to hear me finger pointing and hissing.

The carriage proceeded slowly and took enough time to reach the mansion of the city's representative, a destination.

The launch venue is the mansion's garden, lined with a number of tables, where food and drinks line up. Since we had been preparing for it in the morning, we managed to finish setting up the venue even after the tournament was over early before the guests arrived.

Most guests start to feel free in the garden. Some discusses this tournament, while some aristocrats are calling out to the players who have laid eyes on them to come to us.

The venue also had the appearance of Bordos. Bordos, who lost the first round of the tournament, didn't seem to get much attention and seemed to enjoy the launch with ease.

Yusuke was also called out, but only gave a brief answer. There is no invitation at all. Because they think they already belong to the Rubidasian family. Many still want to invite them to their own homes.

Kosuke, who ate the food and filled his hunger, looks for Gen Oo or Nagare. Because I need to say a word that I'm not going to stay long.

Without moving from the spot, he looked over at the venue for about a minute and found Sizuk and Nagale beside Genou, who were talking to other nobles.

"Mr. Ride."

Nagale approached with Sizuk when she noticed Yusuke approaching.

A nobleman talking to Gen Oo turns a blind eye to Yusuke and immediately returns to Gen Oo.

"Good luck. Congratulations on that and winning. I thought you were going to win.

I'm surprised it wasn't the way we expected to fight. "

"Because I fought the audience so I could have fun"

I didn't even think about the opponent I was dating.

"That was amazing."

Sizuk, who enjoyed Yusuke's battle as an entertainment, laughs contentedly.

Yusuke also smiles when she sees how it goes and is glad you enjoyed it. I can't see it because of the illusion.

It would not be a hoard for an athlete who was coming to the fight most seriously and caught up in entertainment.

"Because I'm not going to hang out until the end of this launch. I'll be home after some time.

I've been looking for you to say this. "

"Really? No, that would be nice."

I hear you are unwilling to stand out, so I think you have no choice.

"So you say goodbye today.

I wonder when I'll see you next. "

"Are you going to miss me?

"I don't think we're ever gonna see each other again, but it's not gonna be easy."

"Let's look forward to seeing you at the next tournament in two years, shall we, lady?"

Kosuke tilted his neck at the words of Sizuk.

"Next tournament? You're not joining us?

"Huh? Aren't you joining us?

Nagare that makes a decent face. I was wondering if I'd be in disguise next time.

"I'm not here to join you this time either.

I was satisfied to see the tournament once, so I guess it won't come again. "

"Oh, really? If so, when will I really see you next?"

"Well, I'd like to go to Kouma once or so, and I think I'll see you then."

"Are you really coming to Kouma?

I nod back at the sizzle I ask.

Hearing that, Sizuk takes the cloth out of his nostalgia. It is a cloth made of a pleasant material to the touch, dyed in a beautiful purple colour, with a single white petal floating on the edge as a point.

"Then give me this.

This is a handkerchief with the Rubidasian family crest. When you come to my house, you can enter the mansion if you give it to the gatekeeper with my name. "

A light purple family crest is depicted in the center of the spread cloth.

"I don't know when I'm going, but is that okay?

"Yeah, go ahead."

"Thank you, I'll borrow it."

Telling him what to do, Kosuke, who ran out of errands, said a word to Gen Oo and then headed to the table to try something light again. I intend to go home when I am satisfied.

When he was eating the newly brought dish, the head of the tournament had greeted him, for example, that the tournament had been successfully completed, but Yusuke forgot it as soon as he heard it.

While eating the food, several nobles and athletes are spoken to and briefly answered.

And after some time, Satisfied with the food, Yusuke snuck out of the venue.

There are those who help them with their blessings. I didn't notice any specific signs in the venue out of many sights, but the place I'm in is a fine place to say luxury residential neighborhood with few people, and I could have noticed it as soon as someone put it on.

Yusuke enters the trail and hides in the shadows. Throw the pebble at your feet onto another trail and make it look like it went that way.

The man who came into the trail relied on the sound and turned towards you on a small run.

A further man follows the man into the trail. There are other signs of chase around.

I also thought I'd try to put those men on the other way around, Yusuke, but I'll try to stay out of it and start preparing for the metastasis. Even if I unhooked the disguise and walked home, I thought I might be able to follow you, and I decided to go straight home from here to the inn.

After Yusuke was gone from the spot, the men, who had been looking around for a while, decided they had completely lost sight and left.

They are scouts that the aristocrats interested in the ride put out to get some information.

The aristocrats, who were not informed, return to their country only with the fact that there is an unidentified strong man named Ride. And told each king.

The next day, Yusuke and the others meet with the Bordos and bid them farewell to participate in the Rahdworm exorcism, and in the course of that day the three will embark on a carriage heading east on a southbound journey.

I plan to make my way to the harbor where the boat to Sevsick is leaving while stopping by.
