It was decided that men would duel over a man.
The place is the arena in the school.
Students gathered in the spectator area, looking forward to the duel that was about to take place.
We third-year students are also there to observe and watch the first-year students.
The girls are excited about the boys dueling over Aare-chan.
“It’s amazing to see His Highness Jake and Ethan-sama dueling over one woman.” “It’s like a story”
“I heard there was a duel two years ago.”
Perhaps it was because of the topic two years ago that people around me had bitter looks on their faces.
I’m surrounded by my fiance es and even more so by Marie and the five idiots.
Sitting just in front of me are my friends Daniel and Raymond.
“Leon, they’re talking about you.”
“You are famous among the first-year students”
I know that if I answer seriously, they will make fun of me even more.
Because I know that if I answer seriously, I will be teased unnecessarily.
“I didn’t fight because I liked it. It wasn’t a duel over a single woman to begin with, so it wouldn’t have been a romantic duel like those guys.”
Raymond put his hand on his chin and reminisced about two years ago.
“No~, at that time, I thought Leon would be socially dead.”
Daniel, likewise, apparently thought I was dead in noble society.
“And that Leon is now a Duke. For some reason, he’s accompanied by prince and others.”
I’m the one who wants to know how I got into this situation.
I beat up five idiots in a duel, and for some reason I had to feed them.
This is a punishment.
Noel, sitting right next to me, is dumbfounded with her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands.
She looked down at the two armored figures standing in the arena with grim eyes.
“Didn’t Leon also duel in the Republic? Two years ago, too, which means you duel almost every year. This country is too scary.” I also agree with Noel.
“Exactly. And I, a sensitive and gentle man, am so anxious to be born in such a barbaric country.”
“――You seem to be enjoying it, though?”
“Because I’m not in it. In the first place, a duel doesn’t involve killing each other. It’s just for a show, so just have fun with it.”
“Just the fact that you can enjoy this, doesn’t that mean that the Kingdom is the right place for you, Leon?”
As I’m talking to Noel, Livia, sitting to my left, pokes my arm with her finger.
When I turned my head, she was pointing at Julius and the others.
“Leon-san, everyone is watching.”
I looked over there and saw Julius and the others staring at me.
“It was wrong of me to pick a fight with you. If I could go back in time, I would never fight you.”
It seems that Jilk regrets it.
“I should have prepared more carefully.”
Brad still hasn’t forgotten what happened two years ago.
“It’s cowardly, isn’t it? You knew you would not lose, and you accepted the match.” Greg crosses his arms and shakes his legs.
“Remembering that time still pisses me off, doesn’t it.” Chris had a strange glint in his glasses.
“――Because during the duel, he even broke my heart. I will never forget what happened and one day I plan to take revenge.”
I feel sorry for these five guys and apologize to them by scratching my head.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t think you guys were that weak. If there is a next time, I’ll go easier on you.”
As I am laughing at the indignant faces of the five of them, Ange, who was seated behind me, pats me lightly on the back.
“Don’t stir things up, you idiot”
“I got scolded”
I shrug my shoulders and turn my gaze to Marie and the others.
Next to Marie is Kara, who is watching the match with her, drinks and food in hand.
Marie was still Marie today.
“It’s more entertainment than a duel, isn’t it? Let’s get started!”
When she complained, she gulped down the drink in her hand in one gulp.
Oi, wait a minute.
Is that alcohol you’re holding, by any chance?
Are you drinking while the sun is still high?
“Marie-sama, good drinking today!” And Kara is admiring Marie like that.
What is there to admire?
I looked diagonally behind me and saw Mia-chan who is looking anxious and Finn.
Mia, who was the one who initiated the duel, is nervous because she feels responsible.
Next to him, Mia feel uneasy, Finn looked down at Jake and Ethan with a look that made ―― as if they were enemies.
I hear Finn muttering.
“――I’ll make them regret this.”
Hm~m, overprotective after all.
I ask Luxion, floating nearby, about the outcome of the duel.
“Luxion, who do you think will win?”
[Are you going to bet again this time?]
“That’s what I intend to do.”
[――Ethan has the upper hand in terms of ability. If the duel starts at this point, that is. There is a high possibility that it will be interrupted]
“Right”
After all, this is a duel between men fighting over a man.
