I won the reversi tournament and finally made it to the finals.

I thought that the other party was Seria's daughter, Carla, as in the previous tournament, but the thread-eyed guy Julina defeated Carla and went up to the final.

Looking at the match against Carla-san, Julina was a type that firmly calculated her opponent's two and three hands.

Not as good as Silvio, but this is another tough guy. I'm saying it looks great, but I can't beat Silvio either shogi or reversi anymore. I'm a little frustrated.

That's why it's a final.

Onijima who has heard of the finals of the Reversi Tournament and those who have lost so far surround me and Urina's table.

"Hey Roland, which one do you think will win?"

"Ah? Isn't it Alfleet-sama? Last time, I was very generous with Carla."

"It's noisy. Most of the time, reversi was decided by Alfleet, so it's not so strong."

"But Julina was the one who easily beat Carla. This time I might compete."

"Can you just say that I lost a little shit?"

"It can't be helped, because it's an easy-to-understand standard."

"That's easy."

"So, where did you bet?"

"" Five coins for Alfleet ""

"So"

"I bet one copper coin on Alfleet!

"Eagle is two copper coins for Julina!

The villagers are happily discussing who wins or who bets. From somewhere, you can hear the raising of the bet amount like an auction.

Although it's okay, please stop the trouble.

"Thank you, Alfleet."

"Thank you, Julina."

When I and Julina greet each other, Elman comes to the table.

"Let's start the reversi tournament final."

"Good, good!

At the same time as Elman's voice, the villagers scream mysteriously.

What is it? Is it fashionable?

"I'm going black"

"So I'm white"

Putting stones while puzzled by the mysterious voice of the villagers. Well, how do you go from here? Perhaps Julina will not fall into a simple trap. By controlling reading, how much stone can be obtained? I feel like it will be such a fight.

The reversi tournament is sober, but the villagers are watching the game while talking to the extent that they are not too loud.

"Hmm? Why can't I just turn it over, but why do I put it in that place?"

"That's why Roland is a small fish."

"Isn't it all right if you flip over so much?"

"Oh, yes.

"Well, you can see it."

When you reach the middle stage, you will have more time to ponder, and the time to hit the stone will be longer for each other. I don't know here yet. The number of stones is higher for Julina at present. However, at Reversi, such a temporary number could not be relied upon. Although the number is lost, my white stones are placed sharply on the edges and on the squares that will be the stones. From here on, it's my attack.

Urina grabs the black stone and wanders on the board.

"……this is"

Perhaps Julina has now noticed. The place I can hit is almost in the X position. If you hit it elsewhere, my stone will end up.

Yes, I'm in the X position with Julina. In other words, they were turned over one stone at a time so that they could hit the square one diagonally inside from the corner.

This is called X hitting.

Being able to hit only in the X position means that I'm taken off the corner. The opponent will be tough if done around here in the middle.

"The important cells are being held down."

Julina stares at the board with her slender eyes narrowed further.

"Hey, isn't it triggered by any tricks?"

"Well, I don't know about Roland."

"Teach me Westa"

"Tell Carla the Roland idiot."

"Wester, you don't even know?"

"... No, it's just awkward to say."

"What the Wester. I always talk about useless things."

"Huh. Alfleet guided Julina to get the edges and corners, no matter how you put it."

"Is there such a place?"

"..."

"No, you've been reversing many times, so if you put it diagonally inside one of those corners, you'll know that it's bad."

"Well somehow?"

"I knew that."

"You didn't even know Westa. What are you doing? Use your head a bit."

"" I feel. Take care of your intuition. That is our reversi. "

"... how many people are cool"

Wait for Julina while listening to the stories of Roland, Westa and Carla. I feel like I often see these three people solidifying and talking.

It looks ugly, but it might be a good trio.

Roland raises topics and questions, and while Westa swells, mixes stories and lies, and Carla rushes in.

How nice. Could you do it even with a comedy? Alfleet will produce it. Really idols are good, but isn't it popular here where music is not popular? What about the royal capital?

"It's tough"

Mr. Urina frowns, avoids the X position, and places the stone on another square.

But still painful. If you put it there, the edge will be cut off and it will be more severe.

"Then here ..."

"I can't imagine the image of winning."

Julina puts a black stone with a bitter smile. His face seemed convinced of losing, but he was radiant.

Then, as I calculated, I was able to make a slam, and my victory was 51-13.

Surrounded by the applause of the villagers, we stand up and shake hands.

"Thank you very much"

"I thought it was a little better."

Yurina's thinking ability is probably the best among the villagers. The prediction of what will happen if you put it is well done. However, there was not enough experience. If I gain a little more experience with the strong, I guess she will be like Silvio.

If I had time, I thought I would play against Silvio.

"Two eagle copper coins!

"Hey, now you can drink more"

"Yes! A banquet!

"Oh! I'll drink!

"Celia San, ale and fried egg, I'll ask for the meat. Eggs without sugar

In the outfield, the villagers make orders while making noises.

Mr. Seria and Carla seem to be very busy, probably because the order came at the same time.

"Yeah, winner, will you eat rice?

Looking to the side, Melna, who played in the second round, sat with a drawstring bag in her hand.

"Then, let's say something."

"Can I go with you?"

"Oh, Julina. You're coming too."

Invited by Melna, I and Julina sit in a chair. Are they acquaintances?

Melna called Seria and was first stopped by Julina in an attempt to ask for three ales. Unfortunately, the spirit is an adult, but it is not good because the body is a child. He looks like a detective somewhere, but his brain is not good.

"Would Alfleet eat rice with fruit water?"

"If it's about spaghetti"

Stalls are available at night, so I don't want to keep my stomach full.

"I will do that too. Spaghetti says this village is the beginning, so I want to eat a lot."

"Well there, it was something Alfleet thought."

"Is that so?"

Urina looks at me with a surprised expression. His eyes are thin and difficult to understand, but his eyebrows are raised and his voice changes.

"Well."

"I ask spaghetti for three servings and one fruit water for two ales.

Seria answers "yes" and tells Carla the order, and prepares fruit water and ale.

Toast immediately after the fruit water and ale arrive.

"Wow, don't drink like ale."

"Unfortunately, it's just fruit water."

"Oh? Do you want ale?"

"No, Alfleet is still a child."

"Did you go? How old is Alfleet?"

"I'm six years old."

"I'm calm for a six year old."

Julina looks at me with a surprised look.

"Well, we're a lot tough."

Women, sisters, maids, mothers, etc ... That's all the same.

"Do you have such tired eyes that year ... it was tough"

Melna gently taps on my back.

"Please drink"

Whether Yulina ordered extra, give me a cup with fruit water.

Both are good guys. Today's fruit water feels sour.
