Day before the martial arts tournament. Match tables were announced at the Arena and at some of Wang Capital's facilities. Entries are closed and will not increase, even if they decrease.

That's why large numbers of humans gather in front of a matchlist that's been pasted out since before noon.

Some participants and some Wang Du residents and travelers wanted to watch the tournament from tomorrow. Who are the players from famous places against and what kind of battles do they show? Some put their thoughts on them, others start betting on who will win. Behind the tournament, the bet on who wins is also the flavor of the event.

Well, I went with Marcus to see the matches that were posted before the School of Magic Knights. Many other students were concerned about the tournament, and many wild horses were coming to not participate.

Tournament. Uh, how many times do I win...? Seven times, hmm. I stare at the opponent's table and watch the opponent's name from close quarters. There are no leaves or ravens nearby.... Yeah, wait.

"... Er, is Ruin the Holy Knight, sure he's a winning candidate?

"Is it close?

Marcus said, looking at the table as well.

"World War II"

The opponent of the first battle is a martial magician, but he doesn't know his name. Well, when I say that, it's just those guys I don't know about. but one of the players that would bump into him in WWII, sounded familiar.

"I'm sorry."

I guess Marcus is looking for his own name. It feels uninspiring. I look for other leading players and acquaintances. To the plains......, Marcus discovered.... Ah.

If you win all the way up to the third round, Marcus, you'll bump into Leele. I'm sorry - I felt sorry for my friend in my heart.

After watching as one, we headed back to the dorm.

Anticipating an opponent who would have fought for winning in due course.

World War I is a martial magician and this is fixed. After World War II it is only predictable, but it will definitely be in the Holy Knight's Palace, which is seen as a winning candidate. Game three is... no. I don't know. I don't see who's strong.

The Fourth World War is Kushira. WWV would be a reele. It's bad for Marcus, though.

WW6 is...... I don't know. If Lord Kenhao, who is given to the winning candidate, wins, he'll bump into you there.

Game seven. The final is unpredictable when it gets this far.

I'm going to fight a strong guy sooner or later, but when I line him up like this, he seems pretty hard.

Really, I'm heavy.

The moonlight pours down. Summer on the calendar, but unlike Japan, the summer in the Kingdom of Verilardo is easy because the temperature doesn't rise that far.

On the eve of the tournament, I was in Early's private room at Morgenrote Castle. Of course, I snuck in without anyone saying no. If someone saw this place and even reported it to the King, I can imagine it would be a hassle.

But I, of course, didn't mean to discourage even Early of the day.

Tomorrow I might die, or if I fail, I'll run away, and I'm not going to because that's not even the story, and me and Early were looking out the window at the sky with the gentle glowing moon.

"... so why are you wearing corrective underwear when it's your room?

When I asked, Early laughed dullly.

"Well, I'm a 'boy' here. When your sister or sister arrives, if you're dressed as a woman, it's bad, isn't it?

"... well, it was a secret to my sisters too"

I think I said that before. Since Early's return to the royal castle, she has visited several times, but never met her sister or sister face-to-face because she is always after when there are no people.

Early in a girl's condition is cute too. I'm sure the sisters are all beautiful.

"King Eman and you are coming to the arena for tomorrow's tournament, right? Are the sisters coming?

Sister and sister are not coming.

That's too bad. I thought I'd see you. So Early made a slightly more annoying face.

"Why, did you ask?

"I thought you'd be beautiful. Much like you."

"You'll be at the celebration after the tournament, so I'm sure you'll see me there. But to be honest, I don't want you to meet Jin."

"Why?"

"My sister is prettier than me, and so is my sister"

"... what, did you think I'd be more obsessed with my sisters than you?

"Because Jin is pretty vulnerable to beauty."

"What kind of man is strong against beauty?

Then she poked me slightly.

"I don't care if you get your hands on other women, but I want you to be the best woman in your relationship."

"He said he wouldn't give you his right-wife seat?

Around here, I wonder if it's royal thinking. It is not uncommon for a prince to relate to more than one woman, is that the reason why he is so blown in? I don't know about putting that with other grown-ups, but I may not have figured out the difference.

In fact, Early's a prince, but she's a woman, so she probably never put a woman in her own harem.

"It's an honor to be jealous of you."

I shook my head small and stared seriously at Early's face.

Tomorrow, I'll fight for you.

Otherwise it will be at martial arts competitions, etc., which is the real deal. Early grinned back.

"I watch Jin play in the audience. Don't just get hurt."

"I have a protective pendant, I rarely get hurt."

Probably. I wouldn't be alarmed.

"But you be careful, too. You have the magic I gave you? Be sure to wear it. If anything happens to you, I'll be in trouble."

"Yeah.... may God protect you"

Good luck.
