Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 49, Preliminary Game II, Part VI

At the end of the day, it was Gaya's turn.

That said, the opponent who appeared on the arena stage was a veteran style swordsman, whose strength was thought to be intermediate class.

Wounded faces, and arms were powerful, as if they were talking about their days of war.

Gaya is probably a talented young man, but it is clear at that point that the experience and local power are too different, and it can be said that the outcome of the match itself was almost visible from the beginning.

For this reason, it would have been possible to settle what kind of game this game would be, three inches on the chest of Gaya's opponent's veteran swordsman, in the first ten seconds.

But the veteran swordsman didn't.

Along with the signal to start the game, he decided to take the tactic of war to say that he would watch Gaya leave without doing so, even though he could have stuffed the distance and stunned Gaya.

I mean, it seemed like that was what I was trying to do in the sunny arena of fighting competitions against a young man who said gaya.

Gaya seemed to understand what they were thinking.

Lulu didn't know, but Gaya knew his opponent existed or he had a blue-white face right after he appeared on the stage, but he recovers understanding what they were trying to say.

I set up my sword and jumped, probably with the intention of borrowing my chest.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Is this a good thing?

Ask Rusty as he sees the Gaya battle going on in the arena.

This means that contestants who are at the top of the list sometimes train young people.

Rusty nodded to it and replied.

"Well, according to the character of the contestants, it's not that they don't. Especially if you're a junior adventurer like this one out for the first time, and there aren't many contestants out there who would do something like training this way for youngsters like that. If you're lucky enough to win the first round of the competition, you'll be spilled in just a few dozen seconds, and that won't save you anything."

Lulu nodded convincingly, indeed, imagining the appearance of a young contestant who had gone from Rusty's dialogue to a blurry rag.

Rusty continues.

"Of course, it's up to him to decide how to fight. Even if you know you're far from it, there are guys who sink in one blow, and, well, unless you're really a rookie like Gaya, cleaning it up just now doesn't thrive on that. It means" case by case. "

I mean, it's rare to say that it's understated, that it's advanced and intermediate, or that it's superior and intermediate, or if that's what you mean, it's not easy to get it over with.

You'll get tired of the audience even if you prolong poorly if you say so, and you nod to say you can have that choice.

You mean Gaya hit a good opponent?

Rusty nods when Lulu grumbles like that all the time.

"That's the thing. No one likes to have fun with their opponents. Wouldn't it be nice to have a fair, well-looked after opponent like that?

Remembering Rusty's words like that, the face of someone who hit him in the first round, Lulu laughed a little and then decided to watch the game of Gaya.

In the end, Gaya lost that game.

Naturally.

Because the difference in strength was obvious.

That said, a great deal of cheer was given for the game as the opponent's veteran swordsman, who fought hard enough to be coached and saw it just around the limit of Gaya's health, ended up lightly attacking him and stunning him.

That was an admiration for the pleasant, lucky young man ahead who won the first round and the crisp battle of veteran swordsmen who tried to help such a young man grow.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

We joined the Gayas who finished the game, and now the rest of the game is just for Lulu and Iris.

The match between the two is set to take place in the most gigantic state-run arena of the four arenas now used for the Games, naturally with the largest audience capacity and the largest spectators.

The situation remains unchanged even in the qualifying round, with a large audience there.

That is also because there is a common understanding that says that the most interesting combination matches every time can be played here.

The combination of matches is basically determined by random scraps, but since the most exciting combination is decided and every time takes place in this state-run arena, the possibility of arbitrary combinations of competition operations is also whispered, but there was a simple fact that it has, in any case, become the most exciting that is not so criticized.

Even when entering the national arena, he will still show his gold badge and enter.

The distance to the lobby is far compared to other arenas, and after all, the name of the most gigantic arena in the Wang capital is not Dada.

While walking, Rusty asks Lulu.

"With that said, you, your opponent? Did you see that already?

This meant that he had already seen his match table, but Lulu went to watch the Rusty's game without any particular confirmation, thinking it would be the same no matter who he fought, so the answer was no.

When I say that to Rusty,

"... you can afford it. Ma, but it's still the second round of qualifying... and it's more likely that it'll only hit there. Maybe Lulu would be just fine with that attitude."

I was frightened when I said something like that.

But that was also his expression until he actually saw the match table posted in the lobby.

A table of matches unraveled in a lobby where a large number of contestants and spectators meet.

At its right end are the names of Lulu and Illis.

And Rusty opened his eyes and showed his surprise to each opponent.

"... hey, you're lying, right? The opponent of Illis is an advanced adventurer, and the opponent of Lulu... extraordinaire... surname (Klan) Shui-Relieve of" The Clown's Library (Fossol Biblioteca) "!? Aren't you one of Wangdu's highest magicians!?

Rusty says that in a screaming voice.

From Lulu, I still don't remember so much information about what kind of clan (clan) there is in King's Capital, so I couldn't measure how many of Lulu's opponents Rusty called them.

I'm pretty sure he's quite capable even if he's inferior because he's a superior, but I don't know how much that actually is.

The highest peak of the Wang capital, so much so that it should be considered equal to or greater than Yumis?

That's what you ask.

"You don't know... Mr. Yumis is also superior, but that guy is medium. Shui-Relieve is a superior subordinate, so it falls better than Mr. Yumis... but he's still close to the peak among adventurers. I knew it had become a rule to get extra privileged this year, but I didn't know someone I knew would suddenly hit..."

Talk like that with excitement.

Apparently, Rusty thinks it's going to be a pretty tough fight.

From Lulu's point of view, a magician inferior to Yumis is not so much a threat.

In the first place, Lulu is beating Patrick.

Because you can win against the highest swordsman opponent in the country, it would be normal not to think that even if the highest magician in Wangdu says he is the opponent, he can't do anything and it will end.

When I say that,

"No... but I heard you beat Mr. Patrick, but you didn't actually see it, and you're half-hearted. No, I know it's true because Lulu and Mr. Patrick say the same thing, but I still can't believe it somehow... That's why I'm worried. As for childhood, I have friends who have fought premium."

I mean, even though he probably thinks it's okay, he's saying he's anxious because of his personal feelings.

That was gratifying and I was somewhat happy and slapped Rusty on the shoulder.

In contrast, Gaya, who was a little far away, didn't seem to hear Lulu and Rusty's conversation, and she started to seriously worry after looking at the match table and Lulu.

"Hey... shouldn't we just abstain?

Like,

"Premium!? You can't... No, but Mr. Shui hears that he's a gentleman, and he might be able to help... No, but..."

I try to stop Lulu from appearing every time I say bumps, etc.

Because I'm serious, even as a lulu, it's hard to answer, but I put out an earlier game of gaya to engage.

"Well, you're not even the type of guy who suddenly comes to kill a rookie who's only a junior adventurer, are you? Then you wouldn't have to worry so much, would you?

So I decided to cloud my tea.

In fact, from the prior information obtained from Rusty, Lulu is only the appropriate dialogue because he does not suspect any of his victories, but Gaya managed with it to make himself look and nod, advising Lulu with a serious look.

"... you abstain as soon as it's dangerous!? You only have one life!?

Lulu laughs bitterly at the rest of the sword screen.

Rusty stares at Lulu and Gaya like that with a smiling eye.

And when Gaya leaves a little, she tells Blur and Lulu.

"You're nice to a guy like him, a guide, a disciple, huh?

Lulu did nod at the words.

From Gaya's point of view, Lulu is probably like his first disciple to become an adventurer.

The treatment hasn't changed at all since the beginning, as I've never actually shown the part that was the main part of that strength either.

Against such a lull, Gaya always seems to behave as the kind of brother she protects.

Maybe one of these days, like Rusty, the day will come when Gaya will be called his brother and admired.

Yes, tell Rusty,

"... I'll give him his nickname right now... oh, thinking about it, maybe it's best to just work out Gaya and make him strong? That way, I don't need to be called my brother anymore... yes, you should..."

I started to bump and say things like that, so I shut up if it was a snake.

I feel like Gaya's special training is starting to get assembled in Rusty's head without Gaya's knowledge, but Lulu decided to watch the game until his turn came along, telling me it wasn't his fault.

In the order of the game, I'm sure you'll enjoy that game because Illis is ahead of Lulu.

That's how he enjoyed the many contestants' matches he played in front of him.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The advanced adventurer of his opponent in England was a flax haired female swordsman who looked as supple as a cat.

He seems to be quite famous, and the audience has directed a cheer of an unparalleled magnitude.

Iris was unaware that some of them were against Iris.

"... hey, you're the rumored rookie, right?

The other woman in Illis tells that to Illis with a meaningful smile, shortly after she takes to the arena stage.

No signal to start yet.

It seemed like we could afford to have a conversation for a while.

Ilis leans her neck to her dialogue and asks questions.

"What the hell is a rumored newbie......? I don't know..."

To such an Iris dialogue, the other female swordsman laughs and nods.

"I guess so. Because we're just ruminating on our own...... sorry. But you, Iris from the Clan Explorer of the Age, right?

Iris is amazed at that dialogue that came out of the mouth of a female swordsman.

Because that information is basically something I plan to hide until the tournament is over.

In order not to inform the Gayas, the fact that Lulu and Illis still belonged to the "Explorer of the Ages (Elam Kupidr)" was kept secret.

Yet the female swordsman in front of me knows it.

I wonder why the hell, and at the same time, I have to stop talking, says Iris.

"... If you can, I'd like you to keep that to yourself...?

I thought it might be unacceptable, but unexpectedly the woman nodded comfortably and said.

"Of course. I'm just doing this conversation because I don't think I'm hearing it with the audience cheering. Sorry to make you worry. In more detail, I hear about you from Gran and Yumis. So I know exactly what's going on..."

The way you put it, Illis gets a little nervous.

Because I thought for a moment that the promise to keep a secret about who we are was kept.

But if you think about it carefully, there's a strong contract magic on those two about telling you who the Iris are.

The possibility is unlikely from the end that the identity was scattered.

Then I'm just wondering what you're listening to...

That's what he thought, and he went on to talk to me from the female swordsman.

"Here's what I heard about you guys. We have a good living rookie. I want to celebrate this tournament for them, so give a voice to the famous guy from one end."

To that dialogue, Illis is astonished.

I had heard that it was possible to enter the battle of the superiors from this year on, but from the story of the female swordsmen, it would probably mean that the reason why the initiative was taken lies with the Iris.

Besides, it turns out that a premium adventurer who can't gather inside even if he wants to, is in the tournament quite a bit now, because of the leap of those grans.

I wonder what those two will be doing, and at the same time, I'm sure it's not funny to us if it's not about that, and Illis laughs all the time.

The female swordsman who saw it looked as if she had lost her temper and admiration.

"It does seem promising at a point where it's funny like that to hear what we're talking about. Normally, it's about to turn blue... I'd welcome more strong daughters too. Me personally, my family."

To the way he says it, Illis asks concerned.

"Why not?

The female swordsman answered the question with a laugh.

"That's because our family (clan)" nun (manaka) "is a female-only family (clan)... Hey, it's not funny to fight normally. Want to make a bet?

"Bet?"

"If I win, I want you to join my family. I'm not going to impose anything on you. You are also free to take requests with adventurers from another family (clan). I just want my strong daughter to be in my family (clan)... that's what I think."

I didn't expect to be solicited, and Illis is surprised.

Conditions don't seem so problematic either.

It doesn't look like they're going to force you to live somewhere else, and it doesn't look like you're going to change anything but essentially the name shifting.

So, Illis nodded.

"I don't mind. Just..."

"Just?"

"I don't think you can beat me."

The moment I said that, the change in the look on the face of a female swordsman was a sight to behold.

Its face, which was serene, instantly changes like a fierce carnivore, spreading around in a murderous manner.

The audience screamed at the way it was.

So much power, she seemed to have.

It just doesn't change the look on the face of Illis.

To such an Illis, said the female swordsman.

"I, Agnos-Brazzo, deputy chief of the nun (Manaka), will tell you... I wanted to impersonate you to the ground, even if you were mean. And you will say." Let me be a nun. "

"If you can, go ahead"

I've often said it's as bad as when a beautiful woman gets angry.

A puppet-like beauty, Illis, and Agnos with a graceful and fierce beauty like a cat carnivore.

Between the two laughing invincibly, the lightning runs and looks.

"... Begin!

And the signal to start the game rang.
