Part 4
As if waking from a dream, the whole venue was quiet. The moment the game was going to announce the winner, everyone moved around as if glass handicrafts were being shattered in all directions, returning back to the original circular stage.
Everyone was stunned except for Kuro Usagi who announced the results of the game as if nothing had happened.
"Winner: Ayesha Ignis Fatuus!"
Returning back to their senses, the crowd let out deafening cheers that covered the venue.
Kasukabe stood in the centre of the stage enveloped by those cheers, this time Jack used a steady tone and asked her:
"Can I inquire about a matter?"
"......What?"
"This game allowed the participant to bring a helper, have you not thought about accepting your comrade's strength?"
"..........."
Kasukabe did not reply, only looking at the sky. Jack gave out a sigh.
"Although it's like I'm minding someone else's business.....but your eyes show loneliness. Even if you like to do things alone, there are times when you simply need to rely on others."
"I'm not on very good terms with everyone."
"Coordination between two and relationship are different things. So far, haven't you gotten hurt just because you acted alone?"
Kasukabe could not argue back. This accusation really hit the nail on the head.
Fighting with Galdo Gasper from [Fores Garo], the results were exactly like Jack had said.
Since it was a full-scale war with [Perseus] it didn't matter, not accepting help from others could be said to be Kasukabe's negligence. Aware of this point, Jack used a mildly persuasive tone to tell Kasukabe:
"Although it's called coordination, it is necessary to rely on accumulated experience to make it work. I guess you are still too young to understand this.........Ah Ah never mind, this feels like a lecture, pumpkins just love to be meddlesome! It's hard to not say anything just by looking at your solitude-filled eyes."
Yahaha! Jack laughed while changing the subject, this time, an unhappy Ayesha came from his back.
She started at Kasukabe totally unfitting of a winner.
"Oi! You! What's your name! Came from which outer gate?"
".........It was announced from the start."
Replying uninterestedly was Kasukabe, forcing Ayesha to continue pursuing.
"Heh~ Is that so! Then at least remember my name! You [No Name]! I'm Ayesha Ignis Fatuus from Outer Gate 678900! If we have a chance to meet again, I'll be the one to win! Remember that!"
Eh? Kasukabe tilted her head, but Ayesha simply swung her twin tails and left, not letting Kasukabe inquire further. Yahaha! Jack laughed while beginning to explain.
"That child had never been defeated by anyone her age. She thinks she didn't use her own strength to win even though she was the winner."
"I think this is what you called victory using coordination."
"YAHAhaha! What you said is right!"
The pumpkin ghost patted its own forehead, laughing like he got checkmated.
