Shi ni Modori, Subete wo Sukuu Tame ni Saikyou He to Itaru

Ms. Yulina speaks to the organizer of the event.

He wants his own escort to join the fight, too.

"Of course you don't mind. But are you okay? From what I've seen, your escort doesn't seem to be wearing armor or anything."

I'm just carrying a sword on my hips, and I'm not doing anything about it.

Looks like they insulted me when I saw that.

"You don't need protective gear for the way he fights. I hope you don't eat a machete."

"Oh! That's big again! Okay, here's the escort."

Looks like there's an understatement of those who fight in the arena, and they'll lead us there.

Through between Mr. Yulina and Nina, out in front of them.

"Don't push it, Eric."

"Don't lose."

At a different moment, I got those words for both of us.

Nod lightly, and I'll follow the path as the organizers told me.

Originally, the arena itself was in the basement of this mansion, but the fact that it's down the stairs seems to mean that the holding room is more underground.

Through a dim path, you go out into a large room with only a few lights on.

Smaller than earlier party venues, its luxury is remarkable compared.

Stone floor on stone wall.

There were dozens of men there.

Apparently everyone is a fighter.

They all give me eyes once they come in, but they stray right away.

I don't know if you're focused or nervous, but I can barely hear you talking.

Each sitting appropriately on the ground, also against walls, waving a sword.

Almost all of them are wearing thick armor, as the organizers said earlier.

Along with that, weapons are also big axes and two-handed swords.

Are you allowing me to smash it from the top of my armor?

If you do fight in the arena, you might look better there.

I sit appropriately in the form of a back on the wall.

I don't know how they call me to the arena, but I'll wait for you.

That's what I thought......

"Hey, can the weak come in here too!

... Something's going to get tangled up with him.

◇ ◇ ◇

After Eric and I broke up, me and Nina looked for someone.

I looked around at the guest seats surrounding the arena and finally found them.

Get closer and talk.

"Lord Fermo"

"Hmm? Oh, this is Lord Shuna, Lord Nina"

Fermo, a slave trader, sitting in a guest seat and seating three slave women next to him.

He's got booze in his hand, like he's going to let a woman hold a knob and watch a game.

"Neighbors okay? As you can see, it's crowded everywhere."

"Of course it is. You guys, stand behind me."

Two women who did not have knobs rose and moved behind their seats.

"Thank you"

I was distressed to see how it went and tried to bow my head to the women, but I can't even show that attitude to this man on this occasion right now, meeting lightly and we sit down.

"Oh, I don't see the escort better, do you wash your hands or something?

"No, my escort sent me into the arena."

"Oh! Is that true! No, Lord Shuna is a confident man. The escorts are new to the arena, aren't they?

"Yeah, sure. Lord Fermo understands... that the escort is not from this country."

I said that in a small voice.

The arena won't be heard by anyone else, even if the audience's voice is loud and small, but it's more like a secret story to say it in a small voice.

You better make this man realize he's holding our weaknesses.

As I thought, I laughed disgustingly, Fermo says.

"Pfft, you did. But jumping in for the first time, you have a lot of nerve."

"It's more about trust than about bravery. There's no way my escort's gonna lose."

I said that confidently.

There's no way Eric can beat a participant coming out here like this.

He's the strongest knight in the Kingdom of Begonia.

"Will Lord Fermo bet or not?

"I don't have that much money, so it's about to play"

"Really? Then why don't you make a bet with me? Of course, we don't ask for money from here."

"Well, what then?

"My request is for information"

"... I see"

Fermo stares at me with his eyes narrowed.

Information is sometimes more expensive than money.

You know that, Fermo is on guard.

"What does Lord Shuna bet? Information, like me? Or the money?

"Money from us. That's right... when you buy three of those women, pay double the price"

"Huh! Is that true? These three are top-level among my slaves, aren't they? You think I'll pay double that?

"Yes, of course"

Fermo puts an even more suspicious eye on it.

"I see, what's the bet?

"Whether my escort wins or not, of course I bet I win"

"Really? But this battle..."

"Yeah, it's in my favor."

I know Eric's strength, and this man doesn't.

There's no way it's fair.

"So when we lose, let's not just pay for it, let's pay for the information"

"What information?

"The weakness of those who are attending this party and are from other countries, just like me"

"Become!? You're from another country? Is that true? Is there someone else besides you?

"Yeah, in my own research,"

All this information, of course, is what Tina got.

Fermo trades slaves outside the Kingdom of Harzion.

So you'll want so much information about those in other countries that you can get your hands out of your throat.

"Wait, you're supposed to be at this party for the first time. Why do you have such information?

"Of course, I looked it up on this occasion today. I can't tell you how to find out."

"Is that information credible?

Naturally, I would suspect it.

"Akina Paracolity. You know that, right?

"Yes, sir"

"I'm buying your slaves."

"Huh!"

"You're a nobleman of the Nemnoon Empire, and in this country you seem to be hiding it and visiting your shop as a merchant."

"... apparently, you're good at gathering information"

You seem to have believed me a little.

Thank you for gathering Tina's information.

"So, what do you do? Do you want to make a bet?

"... heh, that's funny. Fine, what information do you want to pay when you lose?

"When you win, I'll tell you. It's okay, I'm not thinking about gripping the weakness. Unlike you."

Me and Fermo looked at each other and laughed niggly.
