--The royal castle is the Princess' office.

"The Eight Flashes of Heaven: The Dagger of Land, the Bright Night Princess of the Changshan Cross..."

Lilac, looking out the window, groaned and stroked her lips.

There is no one else in this room right now.

It's only natural because I'm at work. I'm calling Huta, so there's only one of us until he gets here.

Just cut off from her job, she was diving into a little sea of thoughts to think about talking to Futa.

That's why I talked about the name pickup Prim made in the last match.

She behaved like Lilac ordered me to fight like I did in Colosseum.

I remembered and sighed small.

Never disappointed. Rather, should I say exclamation?

"Cool... I want to do it too...."

Remember, she is both a realistic schematologist and an invisible romantic.

Even when we welcomed Futa, he said that his weapon was his own, and he was a little bit enthusiastic about the technology.

I can't wait to get Colosseum ready.

And I intend to stand on that stage myself.

"After all... I often think about naming, performances, costumes, how to appear..."

All of a sudden, I was going to be cool with all my strength.

Grab the konzesh that you always have at your desk and put it on your hips.

"The Eight Flashes of Heaven: The Dagger of Ichino... Ah... the Dance of Odori... nh..."

It was good until I quickly pulled out Konzesh, but I couldn't shake it with a shaken pose, and my toes were swimming in the air.

"It's not going to work...."

Should I still put in a princess? The princess makes too much noise.

Who's the rapist? I'm going to bury him.

After all, should we rely on experts?

You don't have to be a "poet," but do you hire someone full of language sense?

Hmm, it's difficult inside.

Master Lilac, it's Fouta.

"Yes"

"Excuse me - Lilac, what are you doing?

"... ah"

I was immersed in my thoughts and answered normally.

The pose doesn't look good anymore.

"Ah... I was dealing with an intruder."

"Isn't it hard!? Who is it?! Come out!!

Fouta rushes in front of Lilac by changing the blood phase.

"... I'm fine. I just knocked out the bugs."

"Mm, bugs?... that was a lovely intruder again."

"Well, that happens sometimes."

Properly deceived, Lilac gave up Konzesh.

It was Futa who deceived her, but her defense was that if it wasn't for his voice, she wouldn't respond naturally in the first place.

Also known as an excuse.

"Um, so, what are you talking about?"

"Please sit down for a moment. Tea is ready."

Ah, yes.

As you can see, the tea set was already ready.

Looking at the placement, it does not appear to be due to Corona's hands.

You must have made him a proper chamberlain.

"Well, I'm going to let Prim know, but I need you to tell me about Colosseum."

You mean Colosseum?

"Yes, specifically, how it was run, why it would be around the main line. I don't think Prim will be able to tell me about the operation or why."

"... that's it again"

Every day, Prim's murmur was a bitter fouter laugh, because Lancaster was exposed to the people.

Sit down and have a cup of tea. Relaxed Futa remembered a few things about Colosseum's operation.

Nothing, I had no connection to such spirits as painful memories or dark feelings.

"After all, which one is stronger than the other? So it was basically to cheer you up. That's why I kept training....."

I see.

For the record, Beatrice was laughing at Lilac when he heard this story.

Which one is stronger? Character business, right? Including me, the general public doesn't know the art of swords, so I won't let them pull with a feeling of support. This incompetence. Macho doesn't have episodes. If you're having fun, why don't you take him to the battlefield? Ahahahahaha!!

Even with the same "owner", each person has the power to discern the essence of the business in an instant. But Beatrix, if you can't use it, you'll just die in the wilderness. Even so, he looked down on Colosseum's "owner" with one hand on the cupcake. It's already grand.

Nonsense.

"So there was something called a league to make the strength clear."

"Oh, the league. It's the Eight Flashes of Heaven."

"Yeah, yeah."

Futa nodded to Lilac, who had come all this way.

"Hachibana is a so-called major class, and it was the league of the eight most powerful players who contested the right to challenge the champion. Below it, there was a league called Minor Class to promote to the Eight Flashes."

"I see. How many people were there?

Er...

According to Huta's description, there were quite a few gladiators.

And there are five leagues.

Firstly, there are roughly 8,000 people in the Beginner League who are assigned to the first gladiator registration.

They could not play the game in Colosseum and even kept fighting without anyone's support. Fight money rarely occurs, so most people were looking for another way to earn money.

After that fierce struggle, it was the Underleague that got about 100 people to take the promotion exam. It seems that there are about 1,000 enrolled people.

About 20 of the top performers will be able to take the promotion exam, and 100 people below will be prepared for demotion and will fall into the Beginner League.

On top of that is the Normal League. We are finally allowed to fight on the Colosseum stage here. Approximately 100 of them are enrolled to boost their space as front seats.

Only the top 5 grades will compete for promotion, while 20 will prepare for demotion.

It was a tough world because it was finally possible to eat with gladiators around here.

Here, the Minor League finally shows up.

Number of persons enrolled: 20 Only 2 will be able to challenge the Ascendancy Match and 5 will be demoted.

Being a gladiator in the Minor League is often quite popular, and events are often held that praise promotion to major classes.

And then...

Number of persons enrolled: 8 The next step is to reach out to the throne.

There are only two major classes in the Principality where everyone can be famous and disappear.

That's the Eight Flashes of Heaven.

"So the sixth one was the prime."

"Yes, he said that if he was swinging around, he'd get there, but... it's quite a journey."

"Yes, sir? But the fact that even the prime stops in sixth place makes you feel the thickness of the layer."

"I thought Prim was still growing out of here, and I agreed with him."

"I'd like to hear your opinion, Futa."

"Yes"

"Will the current prime remain in sixth place?

"Ah... what do you think?"

Put your arms together and Futa is worried.

"I don't know the other eight flashes so I can't say anything. If it was compared to them back then, we might have been in third place."

Third place, huh?

"Surprised?

"... well, I wouldn't have been surprised if I had been told that I could be in first place or that I would remain in sixth place. It seemed like it was made clear that there were two people who were better than her."

"Ah... well, yes."

"I see... no, thank you. One of the league's components is going to be a very fun preparation period."

"It would have been worthwhile if you had told Lilac that."

Lilac tilted the tea with a little thought.

The journey to the champion is going to be a lot farther than I thought.

I knew there was a wall between the Primes and the Fouta, but I wondered if there was another wall between them.

--It's fun.

That is why it is worthwhile to exchange swords.

At best, let Prim get a foothold of you.

Of course, I don't think so. That's why it makes sense to cross blades with her.

"The league division itself is something we want to do here. I can still see the title."

"Indeed. Prim didn't seem to care about his name."

"What about it?"

"... eh?

When he raised his face, Lilac stared at Futa in a shape he had never seen before.

I've seen a lot of her scary faces, but this is the first time.

I wonder, it seems like hate, is it not?

It is really scary that my pupils are open.

"Master Lilac?

"Don't you remember those two names...? Hmm? Hmm... is that so... heh..."

"Are you a little jealous?

Frankly, I'm jealous.

"I'm jealous."

"After all, she's a slumber, but isn't she Lancaster?

"What kind of curse!?

"If you think about your real job... no... no... no..."

I felt that her hallucinations as she ran through the flower fields were obsessive.

Lilac turns away from her trash eyes and puts the cup back into the saucer.

"Well, let's go after them. I don't know how many people are going to contest tickets to the throne, but let's say that. I'm going to be busy."

"That's right. It's the preparation period."

"Yeah, you're going to have to work with Bear-Pasta."

"... well, yes."

It was a lid poking behind my cheeks with my tongue.

"I'm going to be in a bit of trouble myself..."

"Really?

"Yes, I'm not going to be able to help you this time... but I'm counting on you when it's time, Futa."

Her smiling expression is as beautiful as usual.

There is no doubt or doubt that the voice is genuine.

Huta nodded and smiled back.

Whatever trouble you may have, I will do what I can.

"And that's not all I'm asking you to do."

Eh?

"If you want to do everything for me, yes. It's about refinement."

Pi, point your finger at the tip of Futa's nose.

Lilac broke his face with joy.
