Chapter 53

Okay, it’s morning.
This morning is rice. Miso soup miso soup.
……ah, come to think of it, there’s a sea nearby, but is there seaweed?
I’m using stock from dried small fish and bones, but I’m starting to want proper stock.
If I’m free let’s take a look at the beach.
Then I will also be making bentos and snacks. The bento is bread. Sandwich.
Snacks are dried fruits and potato chips. Unfortunately the flavour can only be salt.
Mhm~, it feels like our food has become quite abundant but it’s still not enough.
I want consomme.

make some?

We had breakfast and to the colosseum again.
We went slightly earlier because we can see ourselves getting surrounded when there’s a lot of people and getting irritated.
foresight
And I’m fighting again today.
Today is the Tri section, basically the 3v3 section.
And the first round is slightly different.
……obstacle course, kind of?
Using the full area of the stage, a towering tower has been constructed.
Seems like we have to climb that.

???

Based on the explanation of the rules, medals have been placed at the top of the tower on the stage, the teams that obtain them advance to the second round.
……mhm, just in case, yeah? The tower is quite high in itself, mhm, then the inside has stairs and ladders, the point is to climb up while avoiding traps, that should be it. Based on what I heard from the explanation of the rules, or more like, from the commentator.
But for us, that doesn’t really matter.
……mhm, it went quickly when we tried.

cheat!

And so it began, the first round of the Tri section.
Hagasaki-kun and I stood by. Suzumoto jumped in the air and went to the top.
Just in case, it seems this cheating has been predicted, flames and ice arrows are spat out from the outer walls of the tower at an amazing rate, but Suzumoto won’t be knocked down by those.
By dodging and cutting, he safely reached the top.
Then obtained the medal, the end.
That’s it!
why not just teleport?
By the way, this game, as you can see, doesn’t need all members of the team to reach the top.
Hariu also jumped through the sky the same way and reached the top.
The Toriumi, Katori, Kariya group is the only one without this kind of skill, so they diligently climbed the inside of the tower.
According to them, there were quite a lot of dirty traps like spears coming out of the floor, arrows shooting from the walls, pitfalls and minefields. As for those……seems like they broke through with force though.
Force, basically, Katori burnt through everything.
Sorry organiser-san.

……definitely against the rules

And the second round begins.
……right from the start, Toriumi’s group ran into Hariu’s group.
How could this be!
To avoid exhausting each other, Hariu’s group resigned. Like, both Hariu and President don’t want to expend consumables. Kadomi-kun also said he was sleepy so it was just right. It’s not though.
…unlucky
And we met somewhat familar people.
Yes. Do you remember?
The gatekeeper-sans of Ehtshore. (T/N: ?)

the guy everyone intimidiated

“It’s been a while.”
“Who’s that?”
“No idea……”
Hm!? Suzumoto and Hagasaki-kun don’t remember!
“Quite a greeting……”
Really, sorry for my masters’ rudeness. Yes.
“I was done in in the Mono section by that magician……we already have countermeasures.”
Ah, I didn’t notice. I see I see, he was in the same block as me, heh~”
……or rather, you. That magician, huh……I kind of am Rosemary-san though, don’t you realise? He doesn’t realise. Your eyes are knotholes.
But since they have countermeasures, I can’t use [Lullaby]. I don’t intend to use it though.
“I declare it here! I will win and take Lady Rosemary who has been made into your slave!”
When gatekeeper-san raised his sword and shouted that, the audience got riled up.
Mhm~, the audience tension rose, but it seems my masters’ tensions are only dropping.
If you fight with these guys, nothing will go well.
“Now then! Fair and square!”
Yes yes, fair and square, fair and square. Yes yes.

….no need to……well its true….

With the start signal, gatekeeper-san ran straight at Suzumoto.
The magician behind started chanting and the other swordsman ran at me.
But it seems both Suzumoto and Hagasaki-kun has judged I can deal with him myself. After just making eye contact, they fought their own enemies.
Hm, even though they left it to me……they don’t mind if I just buy time right?
They will clean up and back me up soon anyway.
But leaving it to me means……that too, I think. I would like to respond to that trust too.
ganbare~
I braced my spear duster towards the approaching swordsman and waved the spear from side to side at a position that won’t touch the swordsman at all.
Naturally, the swordsman is making an expression like he doesn’t understand, well, just watch.
In the middle of the motion of waving the spear, [teleport] to the left of the swordsman.
Responding to the spear that suddenly appeared, the swordsman desperately tried to stop it with his sword, but that is my aim.
I had predicted this much, so I had already activated [Cleaning] right after [Teleport].
If I can predict the future, even my rubbish speed will somehow make it!
The spear’s tassel (feather duster) touched the sword just as [Cleaning] activated.
As if slicing through the sword, I [cleaned] a narrow part of the sword.
And once I swing the spear through, it looks like I closed in in an instant and cut through the swordsman’s sword with my spear.
Haa~, until here, it was just as I simulated.
Or rather, if it wasn’t just as I simulated that would be the end.
self-destruct again>
The severed blade dropped to the ground with a shrill sound, after a moment of silence, the arena erupted.
And then something different from simulated happened here.
According to my simulation, this swordsman will immediately counterattack with [Energy Sword] or a sub weapon and I have to back step to dodge.
But even though I stepped back, this swordsman just gaped at his severed blade.
It can’t be helped, so I thrust the tip of the spear right before the stunned swordsman’s throat, and he finally came to his senses and unconditionally surrendered.
……I accidentally defeated him when trying to buy time.
……good?
Then Suzumoto kocked the gatekeeper-san’s sword away and had him at sword point, Hagasaki-kun had blades of ice at the throat of the magician.
And so, we safely secured victory.
But.
“You are participating in the Hexa section again tomorrow right?”
“I have no obligation to tell you.”
“I’ll challenge you again there, I will definitely win next time!”
……it somehow became an extremely stifling thing.
Stop it~, don’t make these guy’s expressions go below freezing~

too late

With similar tactics, I did okay buying time and we finally ran into Toriumi’s team in the finals, well, they resigned, so we won.
It doesn’t make much of a difference which side wins, so this is fine, but it seems the audience wanted to see a serious match and were disappointed.
But if they had a serious match with me here, I’ll definitely be killed by them.
These guys also know that and resigned. Somehow, sorry.

at least no broken equipment

Ah, come to think of it. Later, Toriumi told me about the things he heard from the audience with [Sharp Ears].
“Seems myself included, swordsman, warriors and knights are popular. What’s this scary.”
……mhm, well, “Strong and cool” is simple adoration, then there’s the “Take me as your bride” type of passionate voices, Toriumi was strangely tired out but grinning as he listened.
It’s that. Hearing about yourself is draining, but hearing about other people is fun. Other people’s misfortune taste of honey!
……by the way, there was also views about me.
Things like, the one that got an unprecedented seed with mysterious magic in the Mono section and slicing a mithril sword in the Tri section.
……come to think of it, I’m a magician but I used a spear and cut a sword. Ah~……mhm, mhm. Let’s not think about it.
I’m not going for the Hexa section tomorrow and once the Nona section is over I won’t be in this capital anyway.
Mhm. Tomorrow……let’s stay behind with Katori and Kadomi-kun. Let’s do that.

safe from fans

Oh yeah, there was that thing I thought of, so after escaping the colosseum, I went to the market in the capital.
Mhm, since tomorrow is a rest day, I’m thinking of making something delicious.
Err, I mainly bought eggs and butter.
Hm, it would be nice if I could get a supply of these myself though.
Will keeping chickens and cows be more troublesome.

definitely

Come to think of it, I also gathered quite a lot of gazes here.
……it became clear that whenever someone approaches and President draws closer with his hand in his pocket, those people will run away, so I enjoy shopping with that method. According to President, “That’s unexpected!”. No, I can understand why.

most definitely run

We returned and had a dinner of grilled bird, steamed vegetables, soup and rice, then everyone went to sleep early.
Consecutive days of fighting must be tiring. Good job.
Now then~, tomorrow is house-sitting day, fun equipment repair and sweets making day!
What to make.
