Guardians of the Peach
「I’ve calmed down, I’ve really calmed down.」
After Pururu told me that “We still have time”, I was able to regain my composure. Currently… the two of them are helping me sweep the dusts off of me.
「Thanks, I thought we were done for」
「El… you exaggerate too much.」
“I’m not that amazing!“ was what I replied. “It wasn’t a compliment though?” was what Pururu retorted back at me. On her face right now is a smile.
When we first met, she can only be described as… expressionless. Recently she’s smiling more. Un un! It’s cuter for a girl to be smiling!
「So, what should be name our team?」
「Umu! That’s an excellent question, Riot-kun! For the time being… I have a good idea!」
I raised my index finger and confidently declared it.
「Team “The Three Golems that Got Seperated! Traveling Mood Arc. The incident that occured in the steamy hot spring! The housekeeper saw it! !” 」
「It’s too long, way too long! What is that? That theatre-like name! ? 」
Muu… I was quite confident in that name though? However, Riot seems to be unsatisfied.
「I think that the impact of the name is important. 」
「I does indeed has the impact, but… it’s hard to say.」
Fumu… he does have a point. Better yet, there’s a chance that the name will just be shorten to “The Three Golems”.
… Isn’t that fine?
「It’s bothersome so let’s just call the team “Aaah”.」
「Oiiiii… then when we win, the announcer will say “It’s team “Aaah”’s victory!” Are you fine with that! ?」
“True…” said Riot as his voice got smaller. Tsutsuou is currently comforting him.
… Get your act together, the dad.
「Then, how about “Guardians of the Peach”… what do you think?」
Hoo… I’m think that it is quite a decent team name. Un, the peach part is especially nice.
「Peachy Guardians, huh… it’s great! 」(T.N. In both the title and in the previous line, it was “桃の守護者達.” Here it is in kana “モモガーディアンズ”
「Nfufu… I’ll gratefully receive your praise.」
「Hee, alright! Then it’s decided! 」
And like that, “Peachy Guardians” is formed! Then… we handed the application to the receptionist.
「… Okay, your registration is completed. The preliminaries will begin at 11. Please go to the venue for the preliminaries before that, okay?」
As we were told that, we checked the time. In the venue, there is a large clock installed. … How convenient!
「Right now is… 10. Nn~ it’s an awkward amount of time left」
「Hustle Bobby is about to open… should we go there?」
「I’m hungry」
Oiiiiii… Riot-kun. Even I’m not hungry yet. Did you not eat before coming out?
「Well… two bowls of donburi wasn’t enough.」
“Ahaha” laughed Riot. You normally eat too much. I also want to eat that much…
The pleasure of shoving down freshly cooked meals is undescribable…
It’d be even better if there’s salted fish, dried plum, or natto, then it’s even better! Pickled radishes are also irresistible.
Also don’t forget about miso soup! Wakame and fried tofu as the ingredient is great.
Guu~…
「Nn~? What’s this! ? My belly growled! ?」
「Alright! Let’s go eat something! 」
And like that, we decided to go to the food court. This is definitely Riot’s fault.
… It’s not my fault at all! *pout*!
◆◆◆
And because of that, we’ve arrived at the food court.
The wild beasts are playing around with the kids in the preliminary venue. They’re quite docile so they’re popular with the kids.
Meanwhile, we’ll quickly go eat a light meal.
I ordered an egg sandwich and Pururu ordered pudding. Riot is… eating a “katsudun”.
What exactly is a light meal? Ugogo…
「To be able to eat that much in the morning… I feel full just from watching.」
「Pururu… you’ll die if you compare Riot with a normal person. Be careful.」
「So mean」
And Riot just casually asked for a second helping of katsudun. Aren’t you eating too much?
By the way… katsudun is just a normal katsudon. For some reason, it is called katsudun on the menu…
I was curious so I asked the waiter… apparently they wrote it wrong and before they notice the name stuck, so they just kept it like that…
It’s coated with 2cm thick slices of Butch Rabi’s loin meat.
The meat is cooked rare and is crunchy on the outside. It’s a cutlet that make use of the fact that Butch Rabi’s meat doesn’t have any parasites.
It’s topped with onions and an egg, quite simple. That’s the perfect amount of toppings since… the meat is the main.
Everytime Riot chews on a piece of cutlet, the meat juice and oil overflows and dirty the area around his mouth. Please eat more neatly. It’s not that I don’t understand how you feel though…
「*Crunch* *Crunch*! Gatsu gatsu! *Chew* *Chew*… *Swallow*! … Pufuu~」
“Thanks for the meal!” said Riot as rubbed his stomach and smiled happily. By the way, he ended up eating… three servings of katsudun.
You~eat~too~much~! !
For a short while, we killed time by chatting. Museru and the others that followed along are also relaxing.
「Fumu, it’s about time. Let’s head towards the venue.」
「It’s already that time~」
「Gefuu… my stomach is full, so let’s go! 」
We paid our bills and headed towards the venue.
It’s finally the preliminaries! … I’m starting to get nervous! Puru puru.
「Nn? Are you nervous, El?」
「Th-th-th-… there’s no way that’s true.」
「So you are.」
Un, I am! I’m super nervous right now! !
「I understand if it’s Museru and the others that are nervous, but… El isn’t the one fighting though?」
「That’s not… tr! … It’s just that, it’s hard to watch over them」
I’m not able to do anything. I can only cheer them on…
「Fuu~n? Is that so… 」
Riot looked at me… with a slightly serious face. What’s wrong?
「… No, nothing! Let’s get going! !」
Saying that, he slapped my back.
“Fukyun!”, a shriek leaked from my mouth.
「Hey, if you’re that rough with Kuishinbo… she’ll break」
“Ah! Sorry! ?” said Riot as he immediately stopped walking. However, I don’t forgive you! I’ll stuff your nose with mint later! ! Prepare yourself! !
… Something like that happened, but we were able to reach the venue without any problem.
The venue is already packed with a strange enthusiasm.
… To be this enthusiastic with the preliminaries, how will it be for the main matches?
「Uoo… such amazing enthusiasm! I can feel my skin tingling! 」
Riot probably also felt it as his tension is rising. Un, I understand~! If you’re a man, you can tell that this atmosphere is full of fighting spirit!
「Now then… we just have to wait till it’s time.」
Right after I said that, we heard a voice say “The preliminaries will now begin!” Finally, the matches are about to begin.
Battles started to unfold one after another throughout the several rings. There’s a golem with many legs, a golem that is extremely thin. I also saw a dinosaur type golem, insect type golem… and a great variety of golems began fighting.
「Fua~amazing~! So cool! ! 」
My thoughts accidentally leaked when I saw the figures of the golem using everything they have in order defeat their opponent.
「Fuu… that’s right, they’re very gallant, brave… and beautiful.」
Saying that was a girl wearing red clothes that’s now standing next to me. It’s Shia Suisen.
「I’ll be going ahead and wait for you in the main matches. Chase after me if you want to fight against Essac.」
Gupon! Essac’s eye shined.
This is… a provocation! One that is against us! !
「Very well~! Wash your rice and wait!」
Shia slightly tilted her head. Cute.
However, it seems that my intention was properly conveyed to her… after saying “I’ll be looking forward to it”, gallantly left.
「Nfufu… with that, we must make it to the main matches no matter right, right?」
「Of course! We… Museru, Ishizuka, and Tsutsuou will not lose! 」
「Shishiou… 」
Riot you should give it up! That child is called Tsutsuou!
Riot who is feeling downhearted and Tsutsuou who is comforting him. This is already a scene that we’re familiar with.
「The next match! “Peachy Guardians” vs “Lovely Golems” !」
Finally, it is our “Peachy Guardians”’s turn! We’ll defeat any formidable enemies and… participate in the main matches! !
「And then… the match against Essac!」
In response to my words, Museru thrust his fist out.
Ishizuka placed his hand on Museru’s left shoulder. It’s as if he was saying “Calm down…” In response to that, Museru nodded.
Tsutsuou got on the ring while yawning. I think it’s amazing that he is always doing things in his own pace.
The three golems appeared majestically on the stage! Do you best! We are the “Peachy Guardians” ! We’ll start off with a victory! !
