Chapter 119 - Let's Watch a Match
◎ Resurrect City, East Arena
「Teyaaa!」
Yumika thrust forward with her beloved spear Silky .
「To, uo?」
The opponent couldn't keep up with the spear's speed .
「This girl」
But the opponent used all his strength to swing down his raised halberd .
(Slow)
Don't make me yawn by attacking at that speed . . . . . . Yumika thought . That was an exaggeration, but that speed certainly wasn't a threat to her .
Without pausing Yumika continued forward while avoiding the blow and tripped him with the shaft of her spear . It was the spear technique『Spin』derived from『Weeping Willow . 』And when Yumika thrust her spear at the fallen opponent the referee announced Yumika's victory . And then there were cheers .
Yumika bowed repeatedly, left the arena, and entered the waiting room, where Kazane, Jinrai, Tiara, and Mefirus were waiting .
「You actually saw it this time . 」
「Sorry for being late . 」
While saying that Kazane raised her right hand . Yumika grinned, and they high fived .
「What is that?」
「Well, it's like a congratulations for victory?」
Kazane answered Tiara's question . In the original world they would congratulate each other during PE like that .
「So how was the resistance?」
To Jinrai's question Yumika groaned umm .
「To be honest, there wasn't any . It felt a little anticlimactic . 」
「Well, I guess so . The reality is that if it were an ordinary tournament, the entire thing could possibly end with that impression . 」
Yumika muttered「Is that so?」after Jinrai's words .
「You are strong . Your current strength is close to the strength of a rank A adventurer . You probably don't know that because you only battle against me . 」
As a matter of fact, Jinrai wanted Yumika to participate in the tournament to gain self-confidence . Yumika tended to underestimate her own ability because she normally only had bouts with Jinrai . Moreover, she seemed to be somewhat submissive .
Getting too cocky would be a problem . But Jinrai thought that it was sometimes necessary for a warrior to be carried forward by such a thing . A warrior with confidence in themself had a strong core .
「Although if you continue you'll probably meet Minaka in the quarterfinal, that old swordsman in the semifinal, and Naoki or the warrior with silver armor in the final . 」
Yumika nodded nervously after Jinrai's words . She understood from practicing together that Minaka was strong . Her sword speed was abnormally fast, and she could skillfully close the distance . In the training matches they had an equal score of 3 wins and 3 losses . And it seemed she was still hiding a trump card .
「I don't want to compete against Minaka . Dealing with her trump card without showing my Wolf God Transformation will be difficult . 」
Jinrai nodded after Yumika's words .
「That old man, wasn't it Genzo? It feels like you have no choice but to hide if if you want to stand a chance against him . 」
Minaka was basically an even match for Yumika, but the man named Genzo was different . It seemed like he was an opponent that would be dangerous even if she used her Wolf God Transformation .
Kazane was troubled by Genzo .
(Genzo Aida . That sounds like a Japanese name, but there seems to be a lot of『Japanese』people, too)
Moreover, it was very likely he was a devil user . Louise told her it was dangerous to carelessly approach and ask . Kazane didn't feel like putting herself in unnecessary danger .
「But are things more perilous for Naoki?」
And Kazane had another concern . If Naoki advanced he would battle against the man wearing silver armor in tomorrow's match . He was one of the men who pursued Minaka . The man with silver armor and the old swordsman seemed to be equal to or superior to Jinrai . Jinrai had said「If that's the case should I have participated after all?」regretfully .
「Well, first of all is that guy's first match, shall we go and watch?」
「Yeah . 」
Then Kazane and the others went to the south arena .
◎ Resurrect City, South Arena, Waiting Room
「Yahoー, we came to see you . 」
「Yo, Aneki . 」
When Kazane and the others went to visit Naoki he wasn't alone, but instead there were also other tournament participants assembled and talking together .
(Good heavens!)
Tiara felt that Naoki's atmosphere wasn't the usual stupid younger brother but was actually suitable for his age, no, a little older than that . The favorable impression rating increase was about plus 3 . By the way, Yumika knew about this kind of Naoki from the start, and since she had lived through the hell of the older sister's panties situation her favorable impression rating didn't rise .
「Hey now, did you say this kid is your older sister?」
「Wait a moment . No matter how you look at her she doesn't look like an older sister . 」
Such voices could be heard around Naoki .
By the way, Naoki was now two years older than Kazane, but the impression from the surrounding people wasn't much different even in the original world . It was unpleasant, but
「Hey, this kid, no, this person won the summoner's match in a nasty way just now . . . . . 」
「No way, that Ogre Killing Princess is your Onee-chan?」
There were also reactions clearly different from the original world .
Resurrect City was located in the Hyvern Principality, which was separated from Minshiana by two countries, but the flow of people, things, and information through the Dragon Boat was fast . People were particularly hungry for entertainment, and many ate up the interesting stories brought by adventurers and minstrels .
Among them, the stories of the Demon Killing Princess and the White Party rescuing Winlard City from the Ogre army, rescuing the princess of Tsuvara, exterminating a dragon with the prince of Minshiana, and more recently the story of a one-on-one fight with a monkey at a hot spring were being transmitted .
The information was propagating too quickly, but a certain somebody was deliberately spreading the tale about Minshiana's prince . The information about the Magic Hot Spring and the Dragon Pair Hot Spring was also being deliberately spread . Incidentally, there were suspicions that a story about opposing a certain King of Tsuvara was being watered down .
