「Even so, you’re really agile!」
「Yeah! Have a match with me too!」
「Me too–!」
As a race, the beastmen could be considered as combative, but I didn’t think that I would be hounded like this.
「I, I got it. It’s fine even if you come all at once, bring it on.」
I said this, and the soldiers cheered.
Would this be considered a personal confrontation.
At a glance, there was a man who seemed to have a high status looking on, so it’s ok?
Four of the soldiers climbed up the three steps and onto the stage, the rest were noisily chatting.
「Now then, the referee will be me, the commanding officer of the 515th battalion, Toma! Whoever makes Oda-dono submit will be given my prized wine!! Everyone, give it your all!」
「Ooh! ! Commander, how generous!!」
「Then, after this will be us!!」
Before I knew it, a prize was introduced, and consequently, the number of participants somehow quickly increased.
If we don’t return before the sun sets, we’ll have to camp outdoors today.
Are you not going to stop them, I looked up towards the second floor balcony, let alone the king, Ria and Amelia weren’t there either.
Even if it’s just a look, I seriously needed to be comforted.
「Now then, begin!!」
As soon as he signaled for the math to begin, I used『Stealth』.
It’s annoying, so why don’t I finish it all in one go.
「Oi, where did he go!?」
「A skill, huh!!」
「Is there no one who has『Detection』!」
I passed by the soldiers who were each recklessly waving their weapons around, and snuck up behind the one with the highest status.
TN: the status here is their stats, not social status
「!?」
From behind, when I used the so-called brachial stun, he lost consciousness, not even having the time to cry out.
TN: the brachial stun is a strike to the neck. It can make someone lose consciousness, but if used with more force, it can kill. This commonly appears in chinese dramas/movies where they use their hand to chop at their victim’s neck to make them lose consciousness.
「Uh-oh, Commander Jean has dropped out early! He floored him without even letting him making a sound!!there are three people remaining!! Sure enough, who will take him out! Oi, someone, carry Commander Jean out without getting dragged into it!」
Before I knew it, there was also live coverage and courtyard was filled with excitement.
I continued on to the guy with the second highest status and drove the pommel of my dagger into his solar plexus.
He groaned and then crumbled down onto the ground.
「Platoon Leader Adolph is the next one to drop out!! There are two people left!!」
Now then, let’s dispel『Stealth』soon.
Since they’re this excited, since it would probably be boring for those watching if I disappeared from beginning to end.
「Ooh! Now, Oda-dono released his skill and showed himself! Do it now!!」
Wasn’t the live coverage supposed to be impartial.
Maa, there’s no problem even if they were.
「I don’t have a grudge against you, but」
「Your neck is mine!!」
The remaining two people coordinated with each other as if they had planned it beforehand.
As for the last two people, will it turn out like that.
「However, that’s too bad.」
After exchanging blows with the two people, I gave each of them a hit on the nape, and after they stiffened a little, they fell down onto the ground, just like the sword fights in movies.
Eh? I actually did it.
I always thought that it was a staged performance.
「To that extent! The winner, Oda-dono!!」
Was it because I had gotten into the habit of looking at the status due to Amelia’s preaching, the fight went smoothly.
However, if I looked at something for a long period of time or look at various things, I would get a headache from the sheer amount of information I receive.
Special attention was required when using it, but would it be a good thing if I grasped how to use it in battle.
When I saw five people walk up, passing by the two unconscious people who were being slowly dragged away, I sighed.
When I looked over, there were many soldiers who were excitedly waiting their turn.
There were many things that I wanted to ask King Igsam, but will it be cleared up by the evening?
「Akira, will we make it?」
「…I don’t know.」
After that, all the soldiers who came up to challenge me had traces of a beating all over their bodies and they had lost consciousness.
I, who had defeated everyone without even being short of breath, threw off the group of high-ranking leaders who invited to a drinking party and met up with Amelia.
Even though I told them many times that I was underaged, it seems that they didn’t have the concept of “minors” here, and they had only tilted their heads in confusion, so I told them that racely, I was not good with alcohol and they understood.
If not for that, I would’ve been able to leave the royal castle much earlier.
Incidentally, the sun had already gone down halfway.
And the boat was slow.
They lent us the one that was exclusively used by royalty, and we leisurely traveled in the middle of the canal, but will we make it in time.
「In the end, we didn’t have much of a date.」
Even though I decided that I would thoroughly spoil Amelia today.
When I sat down on the sofa that was so comfortable that it made people useless and said this, Amelia smiled and shook her head.
TN: this is kind of like the kotatsu that makes people so comfortable that they don’t want to do anything that would make them separate from it. Something like that
「The scene of Akira fighting, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it.」
Was that so?, I tilted my head to the side in doubt.
Certainly, there was the pageant before we came to Uruk, and I had not taken “Yatonokami” out since its maintenance.
「I like watching Akira fight. You were cool, today as well.」
At this surprise attack, I put a hand over my mouth and turned away.
Right now, I definitely can’t let Amelia see my face.
I didn’t have a mirror, but I had no doubt that I had a pathetic look on my face.
「Is that so. Then that’s good.」
Amelia sat down next to me.
Even if I’m not looking at her face, I knew what kind of face Amelia was making.
She definitely had a bewitching smile on her lips.
「I, I’m glad that I came along with Akira. If I was in the elven territory, it wouldn’t be like this where it’s always exciting. I wouldn’t be able to eat delicious food either, and best of all, Akira is here. That’s why, for me, each day is a reward. …thank you. For taking me outside that place.」
It’s embarrassing to be told that so formally.
However, thinking that I should give a serious response, I turned to face Amelia.
「I didn’t take you with me. The one who wanted to go with me, and chose to do so was Amelia. Amelia decided for yourself what you wanted to do. That’s why, I should be the one thanking you. Thank you, for going with me instead of staying with your family.」
Amelia’s eyes widened, and then, a bewitching smile floated onto her lips.
「Wow. Akira always says the words that I want to hear.」
「That’s good. …now then, we’re going to head towards the central water fountain. We need to get ready to disembark.」
I led Amelia who nodded by the hand and went up to the deck of the boat.
I saw the red sun setting, just like the one in Japan.
It seems that we made it before sunset.
「Even so, you’re really agile!」
「Yeah! Have a match with me too!」
「Me too–!」
