It’s morning. Good morning.
When I woke up, the maid-san puppets were sleeping with me and the level of fluffy has increased.
Very cute.
That aside, today is the final day of the gladiator tournament. Let’s do our best.
But it’s not like there is much for me to do anyway, so it’s an easy job.
job is to stay bacl
Like yesterday, I made breakfast and bentos, then we set off after eating breakfast.
Today’s bento is the type you put in bento boxes, the good old classic Japanese bento.
This type is the most rewarding to make.
But it is hard work stuffing them full of side dishes.
Particularly karaage! It’s tough to stuff in side dishes like this with irregular three dimensional shapes that are also inflexible and hard.
For that, sliced or stir-fried vegetables are superior candidates for packing bentos.
When packing them, I tried this and that with the maid-san puppets to stuff the food in.

3d jig saw

And so, departure.
Today is also partially fixed matches anyway, so I will stay on my toes while relaxing.
(T/N: yes she contradicted herself, not a translation error)
……hm, seems like in this Nona section, there are a lot of people that think like those high school girls going to the toilet together, it’s embarrassing to go alone but it’s not that embarrassing with friends!
Ah, no, if asked whether high school girls go to the toilet together because it’s embarrassing to go alone, I’m not so sure about that.
what is the reason?
Currently, the first team we encountered in the first round is a team of 9 girls.
9 young, pretty girls that look very much like novices.
There’s nothing harder to fight than this!
Mhm~, but, since they are here, they are prepared right? This tournament does have a disclaimer that they don’t take responsibility even if you die.
“If, if we win please go out with us!”
And with that cute proclamation on top of that, it makes it even harder for us to fight. Or rather, there is one girl here though, these cute girls……err, one will be left out but is that okay? I don’t have that kind of interests okay?
“……they probably haven’t taken any counter measures anyway. Dalia, do that.”
“Yes sir~”
It was hard to fight them, so I had all of them go to sleep with [Lullaby].
Overwhelming victory.

but mental loss

Next, we encountered that gatekeeper-san’s team.
For this one, well, as they declared yesterday, it was a relatively serious fight.
I did not quite have the leisure to [Clean] weapons, so I stuck to going around and [cleaning] armour and such from behind.
I can’t. If I entered that flurry of weapons I won’t be able to read them properly and get hit once or twice.
It’s better for me to not do anything than for healing to be wasted on me, so I just spectated after that.
It’s nice to have strong allies.
And so, I also won this one without much effort.

job is to slack

After a lunch break, it is time for the semi-finals.
Well, it won’t take that much effort this time too, is what I thought but I was wrong.
“Let’s introduce the members of the competing teams! First, in the east! Hammer warrior Arai! Song princess Utagawa! Magician Hanamura! Swordsman Konno! Magician Kaburagi! Warrior Shiina! Knight Kaji! Archer Umino! Archer Ikeda!……”
……all the names of the opponent have a familiar ring to them.
Yes. All of them, are like us, foreigners……basically, a group that uses skills instead of magic.
all….rip Maito
It’s probably, that. This is result of nobles that had bought foreign slaves trying to avoid damaging slaves while obtaining the [Foreign Magic Room].
It certainly is easier to win in the Nona section since there’s many teams like the one we faced in the first round.
The fighting strength between each member is just too different. With 9 people, they can win by force while minimising damage.
“Now, this is the rare match between foreigners! You can expect great things from this!”
This……mhm. My strategy is set.
Definitely the [Bring as many people down with me] strategy!
……this is also a legitimate strategy.

….well yes

And so we faced them on the stage, but this is awful.
All of them are wearing full-face helmets! You can’t recognise them like this. Yes.
Honestly with just their surnames, as someone whose number of friends was limited, I have no idea who is who.
Well, we can’t afford to lose, so we have to somehow win.
Everyone has already acknowledged my strategy, so I won’t be holding back.
bye~
And so right after the start signal, I [teleported] right into the middle of the enemy.
And then, it’s not that I didn’t expect it, but faster than I imagined, my stomach was stabbed by someone’s sword. It’s not that it’s not painful, but I can move.
Unfortunately for them, I have [Pain Resistance]!
Honestly, as long as it’s not more painful than being dissolved alive in a snake’s stomach, I think I can endure it.
And so, with my stomach stabbed, [Teleport] again.
I should have been able to catch the someone that stabbed me with a sword and 4 others, but 2 escaped with impossibly fast judgement, so in the end I only got 3.
But just a maid getting 3 is good enough.
I went out of bounds like that, so I managed to force 3 of them out.
……is, what I thought, I don’t know how, but when I noticed, 1 had escaped.
Mhm~, was the one I caught an illusion or something?
Ah well, it’s still 2 less. And for 1 more, part of his abilities has been revealed.
Mhm, great. You can say that I did quite well for me.
I leave the rest to you guys~

and instant 8v7

While an official healed the wound in my stomach, I watched the battle.
Even though it’s me, I have the energy to shout “What’s this~!” while dripping blood everywhere and can even walk to the first-aid room myself, otherword qualities are amazing.
Now then, it seems me removing 2 people was painful for the opponent.
Their movements are confused.
Or more like, they didn’t have any coordination or anything from the start.
In contrast, the 9 of us……no, excluding me, the 8 of them often fight monsters together. They are also close.
Thus, our side definitely has the advantage.
In fact, Arai-san who had also participated in the Mono section had his hammer knocked away by Toriumi’s halbard and was quickly rendered incapable of further combat and a magician-like person on their side was sent out of bounds by Kadomi-kun, great progress.
Hm. Overwhelming. Then 8 vs 5. Isn’t just pure force enough from here?
……is, what I thought.
Is what I thought but.
We lost! We actually lost! Impossible! How did this happen!

what

Don’t ask me for the reason, I don’t get it either……
Just that, to say it exactly as it happened, [A girl on their side shouted “Please lose! If you don’t lose it is the end for us!” and everyone on our side went down. The girl that shouted was downed too] something like that.
It should be right to think of it as that girl going down is due to running out of MP and our side going down is because of some skill of that girl.
……but, we, we, lost, haa……
What to do. Like this, we let a classroom slip away.

steal!

We won 4 out of 5 sections, but even though we don’t care about Di and Hexa, we lost the crucial Nona section.
This is bad. We should have gotten 3 classrooms here, but we let 1 slip away.
……can we recover from this failure?
Everyone ended up going for the award ceremony with dark expressions.

The award ceremony was conducted on the stage.
While watching the people move around busily, preparing, we waited.
All of us won in various sections, so all of us will be participating in the award ceremony. Everyone else aside, is it okay for me to be here? No, I don’t think so.
you did your job
“Sorry, be quiet for a bit.”
When we were discussing future plans with dark looks, Toriumi suddenly shut everyone up.
Everyone immediately understood that he’s probably using [Sharp Ears], so everyone fell silent.
As we stayed silent like that, Toriumi’s expression became more and more interesting.
Just as you thought he was extremely shocked, he slowly smiled and in the end he was suppressing laughter.
“……what is it, your expression is strange.”
Toriumi seemed to finally come back to his senses when Kadomi-kun poked him and said something extremely interesting.
“The champion prize for the Nona section was stolen, they located the ones that stole it and searched their hideout, it seems like it was already gone.”
“And the catch?”
“The hideout had 3 men tied up on the floor and the wall of the underground cell was burnt~, iya~, scary!”
……ah, aaaaah!
“Who could’ve stolen the champion prize from the ones that stole it……whatria-san is it I wonder!?”
“It feels more like somethingsemary-san……”
……basically. The prize for the Nona sextion was the [Broadcast Room].
Nice! Me! Praise me more! You can praise me more!
Wow, you never know what will happen in life.

And so, the award ceremony started with the organisers pale and us with pleased smiles.
“Eh~, Mono section champion Kadomi. To reward your valour, we grant you this sword with lost blessings and a foreign magic room.”
President, Kariya and my eyes moved quickly, [appraising] the sword and jewel Kadomi-kun was handed.
……hoho. The jewel is [Staff Room]. The sword has the effect of [Majesty].
Okay. Next.
“Next, Di section champions Hariu, Katori. To reward your valour, we grant you these bracelets with lost blessings.”
When I [appraised] again, these 2 bracelets are amazing! Probably! The effect is [Correspondence]. Which means, they are basically transceivers?
These seem like they will be quite useful for communication.
“Next, Tri section champions, Suzumoto, Hagasaki, Dalia. To reward your valour, we grant you a staff with lost blessings and a foreign magic room.”
The staff has [Increased Thinking Speed]. Mhm~, easy to understand.
And the awaited classroom, it was [Printing Room]. Yay~, as predicted!
“Next, Hexa section champions Suzumoto, Hagasaki, Shachi, Hariu, Toriumi, Kariya. To reward your valour, we grant you this coat with lost blessings and this miracle drug.”
The coat……mantle, the effect attached was [Increased Defense]. Are you looking down on me?
And the miracle drug……with my [Appraisal], I could only tell that it could serve as a dye. A shame.
not very miracle
And finally. Last of all.
“Next, Nona section champions Arai, Konno, Kaburaga, Hanamura, Utagawa, Shiina, Umino, Kaji, Ikeda. To reward your valour, we grant you these rings with lost blessings and a foreign magic room.”
It’s not my business, but when I tried [appraising], as expected, the jewel was displayed as [Amethyst] when appraised. A fake.
The rings had increased HP recovery speed and the like, so we can ignore those.
……of course, we could just ignore it.
We could but, any method to make it more advantageous to us is welcome.
“That, is a fake.”
When President pointed at the [Amethyst] and said that in a clear voice, the air froze.
Mhm~, this guy really is a party crusher. Good~, do it more~.
(T/N: yes literally said crusher, not crasher, this guy is next level.)
