Episode 166 The Road of Siden (2)

"... my goodness.

"That's it! Winner Showd!"

"" "" Waaaaaaaa!!

The first game ends with a lot of applause and cheers.

The losing athlete falls off the stage with his shoulders wide, as he will be removed from the selection of Shiki.

"Lord Siden is not on guard.

"The dimensions of what we're doing are too different, and we don't know which one is stronger.

"Different dimensions of strength. That's not what qualifies you as a Four Ones.

"Now let's begin the second match!

Second game.

Here comes my older brother. The opponent is from the same gate.

Naturally, it comes out here, so I think it is stronger.

My brother seemed a little nervous when he came, but now his shoulders are relaxed and he looks natural.

I can see my father walking around a little.

"Niisama... be careful..."

Anyway, I prayed that it wasn't just injured... and looked at my brother.

"Well then! The second match... starts!

In a moment... I thought this was what I meant...

When the first signal came up and the opponent shook up his sword in an attempt to cut it, his brother already stood behind the opponent, pointing his sword at his neck.

The opponent showed the trick of looking for his brother who disappeared in front of him for a moment, but noticed the sword pointing at his neck and said he couldn't hide his surprise.

That should be it. For some reason I could see the power of God, but I could hardly see the power of my brother.

Only a slight afterimage remains in the first standing position. I don't know what you did, what shapes of divine powers you used... anything.

I think it's almost as fast as the last move my father showed me. Maybe more.

My brother has been a hard-worker for a long time.

No matter what I was doing, I was thinking about swordsmanship, and I've never seen it fail to train.

On the contrary, even if my mother and I stopped, we could continue our training.

In addition, he was talented enough to say that he would gain strength beyond himself in the future.

Originally, it might have been my father's original talent, which was supposed to gradually bloom, but because of the incident, I thought that my brother was still not enough.

If my father and mother were alive, we might not have come this far. I think that after traveling, my brother has acquired unimaginable training.

That is what you will train to wander about in life and death. Over and over again.

Talented, hard-working brother, what happens when you have such training... the result is now right in front of you.

Even the word overwhelming feels insufficient to describe the current situation.

"Oh, my gosh..."

After the opponent's athlete declared defeat, his brother delivered the sword.

For a while, the audience, the athletes, and the host were unable to speak.

"... hey, winner! Siden!"

"" "".................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

From the audience seat that returned to me with the host's words, a voice of praise was sent.

"Gonzo... did you... see that?

"I didn't see it at all....."

"Master Siden is getting too strong, right?!

"Don't hide your surprise. No, the boulder is Lord Siden.

When my older brother is praised like this, I get happy. The corners of my mouth are about to go up, but I stroked my chest down because I am glad I am not injured now anyway.

"But... I don't suppose Shaw will be a good match for you now. That is why the dimensions are different.

"Sure... but there's another one, right?

"Sure... I remember being a member of the public..."

"What kind of person are you?

"Either way, I don't think I can beat that speed..."

I can only think of someone who can counter the speed of turning around behind me at the same time as the first signal, but that's about as much as Shiki...

"Now let's begin the third match!

The third match will be played by the first match winner, Shood, and the general public.

Though Shaw will be in the second round, there is no other way to do this, as long as the participants are odd.

The match combination is random, and no one complains there.

Mr. Shaw comes out on the stage as silently as before.

The name of the public participant is Rumb.

Blue hair not long or short, blue eyes, tall but thin. It was a long time ago. It was a man with such an image.

I always have a faint smile and get a creepy impression.

"You're not someone I've never seen before..."

"If you'll excuse me... something creepy.

"He has a spear, but doesn't he have to be a sword?

"Any weapon is fine. However, it is the place to decide who is stronger.

If you think about it... some of the Four Ones use weapons that aren't swords.

"Well then! The third match... starts!

……………

"... Khihi..."

Though Shaw still faces each other in silence, a man named Rumb occasionally leaks a small laugh from the edge of his mouth as he smiles.

Gah! Gah!

Shaw and Rumb continued to meet several times. Looks like you're measuring the opponent's strength.

The venue is boiling for a meeting between the two of us...

"Mm-hmm."

"Huh?!

A man named Rumb whispers something when he exchanges weapons several times. I couldn't hear what he said.

Then, I suddenly realized that Mr. Shaw's movement was dull and upset. However, Shodo is the only one who can attack, not the other way around, and the game progresses in a tight way.

"I didn't say anything..."

"Is it okay to upset and win?

"It's not a very favorable hand, but the fact that the master hasn't stopped it doesn't mean it was accepted as a tactic.

It's a clever kind of warfare, but Shiki has to train both mind and body.

"If you're upset about saying something with your mouth, you don't deserve to be a Four Demons..."

"That's not what I meant.

I think Master Gonzo is right. When you say "cunning", it may seem like a very bad thing, but even if it's slightly cunning, it doesn't change to being smart. If you are in the position of a Four Ones, Ning (Mushiro) may be more qualified.

I just... I know what you're trying to say, but I don't know why... I shouldn't give that Rumb a Four Demons seat... I don't think so.

There's nothing I can do about that...

After that, Rumb opened his mouth several times, and every time, Shaw's movement slowed down.

And finally, it completely stopped moving.

A rough venue. If the game had stopped suddenly, everyone would wonder what had happened. At first glance, it looks like Mr. Shaw was pushing it all the time.

But....

"... my goodness.

Within the roughness of the venue, I hear Shaw's surrender signal.

"Er... hey, the winner! Rumb!"

Rumbling down the stage.

Though Shaw went down the stage, I felt like I was lost from his face.

"What did I say...?

"I don't know. However, Shaw must have trained both physically and mentally. It would have been too much if it had been broken.

I don't know what you said, but it was a game that didn't feel very good.

"Well done! This is your last match! The winner of this match will be the next Shiki!

"" "" Wow!

The venue is very boiling and sends cheers to my older brother and Rumb who are coming up on the stage.

"Brother..."

I had no idea what Rumb was capable of. I hope my brother doesn't say anything to slow me down...

When I was worried, Gonzo called out.

"Don't worry. Lord Sakura.

Lord Siden is strong.

"... yes.

"Alright! Final match... here we go!!

My brother doesn't know the strength of the other person, so he doesn't suddenly rush into it, and he is staring at the motion.

Rumb thought he'd say something, but he smiles and occasionally just leaks a laugh and doesn't seem to say anything.

"... Khihi..."

Tang!

Rumb kicks the floor and approaches his brother.

Gene! Gene!

The high sound echoes, and my brother's sword meets his spear tip.

At that moment, my brother's facial expression turned into something steep.

Because a man named Rumb was stronger than I expected... it wasn't.

"Gonzo! That spear! I didn't crush the blade!!

The first thing I noticed was Senna. I think she noticed because she is a good swordsman, Senna.

"Is that true?!

"Do you doubt our eyes?!

"It's not good!

Gonzo tried to stand up, but when Gonzo's gaze turned towards Genjiro, he stopped moving.

Genjiro looked at us and shook his neck quietly to the side.

"Dear Gonzo! My brother!

No matter how much Genjiro-sama is in charge of this, I can't keep silent about the imminent clear danger to my brother.

"... I don't know what that means... Master..."

Perhaps Genjiro-sama has noticed that the spear tip has not been crushed. Then why don't you stop it?

Gonzo is also looking at why she won't stop it.

"No... don't wait.

"Dear Gonzo!

"Lord Sakura. I want you to think about it carefully.

"Nah, what are you doing...?

I don't feel like it anymore.

"Siden, who is directly opposed, must have noticed this first. But nevertheless, why doesn't Lord Siden say anything… and don't you look surprised?

"Eh... no way?!

"Master Siden and Master may have known about this.

That's right! Brother up! "

"It will calm down. Once the Master knew, he should have stopped before the danger.

"But, brother, get up!

"Don't take a good look.

That's what they say, and I look up at my brother.

Gah! Gah!

The spear with the blade swings down and protrudes toward my brother over and over again, but there is no rush on his face. He avoids the spear indifferently and plays it.

"If it is a general participation, there is no reason that the master has not conducted background checks.

Perhaps he knew something then and lured him out.

"Master Siden... you've taken on a dangerous task..."

My brother took it... maybe it's about my father or my mother... maybe he's from the Demon Army...?

I'm too scared. To my brother...

I hold my hand in front of my chest and look up at my brother.

The end of mother and father is overdue.

"It's a dangerous bet... Master..."

Gonzo puts his hand on the sword and stands up so that he can run at any time.

Most of the people in the audience are cheering about the fact that they don't realize it.

Every time that voice grows louder, my heart jumps louder.

Gah! Gah!

"Huh?!

At that time, my older brother moved.

Instantly circle behind the ramb and knife it in.

Maybe I don't want to stop it before it hits me.

Baki!

However, the sword is blocked by something like an invisible membrane.

"It's magic!

I didn't see any magic. Maybe... I used magic before this game started.

"It's not good!

Gonzo almost ran away.

My older brother seems to have collapsed with his sword thrown into his membrane.

"Kuhihi!

Rumb smiled creepily, pointing his spear at his brother.

Buzz!

However, the spear tip never caught my brother.

The spear was much faster than it was sticking out, and my brother was going further around the side of the ramb. It's even faster than I showed you in the game earlier.

"It's fast..."

Master Gonzo has stopped dressed like he was about to run.

Gunnggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh!

When it looks like your brother's arm has disappeared, something like a membrane is attacked several times, and then it bounces off. Maybe there are few people who can use it, but I think it's light magic.

I can't see my brother's attack at all. Is this your brother's real...?

Rumb can't hide his surprise at the speed.

Shit!

Rumb turned his back on his brother because he thought he couldn't win.

Are you going to run away...?

Gonzo!

I can hear Genjiro's voice.

At that time, Gonzo's back was in front of me, and his vision was completely blocked.

Gaggie!!

Heavy metal sounds.

I don't know what happened to Gonzo, but perhaps he protected me.

"Shit! We failed too.

From the other side of Gonzo, I hear the voice of Rumb,

Failure...? Something came after you?

And one of them is me? Why are you aiming so hard at me...?

"Let's give it another chance.

I can hear Rumb again.

"Don't let them escape!!

Gonzo's back moved in front of me, and his vision finally opened.

"Gonzo, protect Sakura!

"Nh!! I understand!

Gonzo stops his feet in the harsh voice of his brother.

"Don't think you can just go home and get your hands on Sakura.

Huh...

The image of my brother who was supposed to be on the stage disappears, leaving behind a remnant of the power of God.

Shut up!

Guh!

Then, the body of the ramb that was running toward the passenger seat flew toward the stage as if it were bouncing.

My older brother kicked me, or he is standing with one leg up in the position where Rumb was.

Huh...

My older brother disappeared again.

Fuck!!

Rumb's body, which was flying toward the top of the stage, suddenly fell vertically and struck the stage hard.

Looks like my brother kicked Rumb in the air.

The face above my brother, who landed lightly, was filled with anger.

"You resent the fact that there is no blade on this sword.

"... Kuhihi..."

Bakki!

My brother beat Rumb with a bladeless sword.

A dull sound echoes on the stage, spreading blood from the body of the irresistible lamb.

"Siden... that's it.

It was Genjiro who stopped him.

It took only a few seconds to hit Rumb, but his face swelled up and blood seeped all over his body.

I was already unconscious.

"Everyone! Listen carefully!"

At first glance, everyone was murmuring at what seemed like a brutal act, but Genjiro's voice echoed there.

"The spear this man was using had no blades crushed, and he was targeting an audience! Siden, who was furious with what he did, protected everyone!

"Hey... did something like that happen... I was there for him..."

"You mean Master Sidden protected us?

Those in the audience will gradually understand the current situation.

"Guys, listen up!

Everyone closed their mouths uniformly to Genjiro's voice.

"This time, the winner became Siden, but I saw the anger part. You would have looked very scared.

But it was the anger of the dead, thinking about everyone.

No one will ever think of us and be so angry.

I knew it was Shunlai-sama's son.

"Ah! I'm sure Sidney is right!

"Dear Siden!

"Dear Siden!

Your voice is gradually getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

My brother seemed a little surprised at the voice.

You would have blamed yourself for showing a terrible scene, so you would be surprised that you accepted me like that.

I also owe it to Genjiro for successfully summarizing the story, but I think it is because of my brother's and father's virtues.

"Brother..."

"Well, now! Make Siden the Four Ones in charge of the South District!

"" "Wow!

Today's cheers and applause.

From this time onwards, my brother was appointed as Shiki in charge of the southern district.

Of course, but because I won, Shiki! It is not immediately entrusted, but there are procedures such as applying for documents that my brother said would be troublesome.

So I face to face with my superiors and listen to various stories, but I cannot reveal the contents.

I can ask a little bit about how much it means to be a Four Demons.

I, Sena, and Gonzo tried to celebrate my brother's appointment to the Four Ones, but my brother went out to check the identity of a man named Rumb who appeared in the selection match.

"I'm sorry... you came to the corner..."

"It doesn't bother you that much. Because we don't care.

"That's not true. You don't have to worry about it.

"... yes.

"Besides, is Sakura okay?

What?

"The man named Rumb was after Sakura. Aren't you going to have to?

"To be honest... I'm still a little scared..."

"Sakura....."

Sena will hold me.

"I'll be here a little longer. Isn't that good for Senna?

"Of course, I can't leave you behind. I will stay here until Master Siden returns.

"Thank you, Sena. Dear Gonzo,"

It's been a long time since my father and mother died, and I still don't know why they're after me... Why are you targeting me? I told you it was because of the Magic Eye, but I'm not the only one with the cherry blossom eye.

Could it be because of the magic that I saw in the selection match...? It's a powerful force, but how do you know something I don't know either...? There is no end to the doubt.

"If you think that way, it's bad for your health.

When I think silently, Gonzo laughs gently and says so.

"If you keep thinking about things you don't know even when you think about them, you may feel depressed. For now, I am just delighted to assume the presidency of Lord Siden... no, Mr. Siden's Shiki.

"Fufufu, that's right. Thank you very much.

Stop thinking about difficult things right now and just be happy.
