Chapter 180: 180 176 条件がそろいすぎると、逆に覚悟が決まる時がある。

Is it fair to say that the day has come at last?

A huddle of various species.

The presence of non-human species was a familiar sight, but never before had I seen such a large gathering.

Young and old, men and women, men and women alike, would be deeply moved if they had gathered to watch us.

As far as I can see, there are this many people.

I guess not all of the audience is just employees.

Judging by the way they're sitting in the bleachers, there are probably some civilians in the crowd.

There are also soldiers, adventurers, and noblemen with guards.

From the popularity of this event, you realize that it is well known by men and women, young and old, regardless of their status.

I was in a position to see such a scene.

This is an important event to determine the rank of general.

Martial arts tournaments.

Fifty participants lined up in the center of the huge coliseum.

I stand at the very front.

Now then, please be quiet as the demon king speaks.

After the demon, the host of the event, finished explaining the rules of the tournament, the president, a.k.a. the demon king, took the stage as the final opening speech.

With that alone, the space where thousands of people had gathered fell silent.

Now, it's tactful for me to talk for a long time when the hall is so lively. There is no need for too many words, so I'll open with this one word for you.

With a smile, the president stood on the stage and slowly looked over the players.

"Fight and win!

Release the word to fight.

A few moments after receiving the words, which seemed to soak into his chest, there was a loud cheer.

Satisfied with the reaction, the president left the stage and returned to the bleachers with the general on either side, flanked by his guards.

The first match will begin in thirty minutes. All players please go to the waiting room.

Everyone follows that word of the moderator who took over from the president and begins to move.

The glances you feel while walking to the coliseum's doorway to leave the scene are not pleasant to say the least.

The participants are hostile enough to realize that this is what away is all about.

And the suspicious looks from the audience wondering why there are humans in such a place.

So much for the needle in the haystack.

To be honest, I thought one of them would have fought me if it weren't for the bodyguards who doubled as guides that the supervisor had prepared for us at the entrance and exit, but as expected, no one caused a problem in a place where there was supervision, and everyone went back to their rooms, leaving a smack on the tongue.

Relieved at that, the goat-faced demon guarding me led me back to my waiting room.

Wow, there are a lot of people here. There's a hell of a lot of people in the general admission section.

"This crowd reminds me of the summer and winter festivals, that it does.

Why is that analogy. Well, I mean, there are a lot of people, but I could have used a better analogy.

We have all kinds of visitors, not only from within the company, but also from our own country. This event is like the Olympics or the World Cup in our world.

Oh, well, that's what you mean.

The usual people were so excited to see the hall, laughing at how nervous I had been earlier.

Through the window, you can see the packed coliseum.

And the central square can be seen clearly.

One room is allowed to be used by what is called the VIP.

You can find a lot of people who have been in the area for a long time.

It's hard to sympathize with that, but Kitamiya shows some understanding of it.

You're going to be able to get the most out of this event.

This is a room prepared for the participants of the competition, and since I'm a participant, I invited my usual party members, Suela, Memoria and Himiku, as well as my usual party members.

Thanks to this, the room has become so lively.

It's a good thing that I was so tense earlier in the day, but it's also a good thing that I can relax my shoulders.

...... This is a total crapshoot.

Were you nervous, as expected?

While I was watching the scene in silence, I was approached by Memoria, who slowly walked up to me and spoke to me.

She seemed to think that you were nervous about the upcoming match because you didn't move to the center and stayed still near the entrance.

Memoria, thanks to you. I had an away baptism. It made me reaffirm my position. I don't want to be on that stage for a while.

If you can tell a joke like that, it sounds fine.

"Maybe we're just pretending. I think I've lost a couple of pounds when I get on the scale now, don't you?

Then you should be able to rely on me and not talk so lightly.

"Will you spoil me?

"If necessary,

He smiles at Memoria, who waits for him with open arms, asking him to jump in, but tells him to save the favor for later.

Then I'll let you know when I need you.

"Yes, let's do that.

As I said to Memoria, I'm not as nervous as I thought I would be standing in a place like that and having the hostility directed at me.

It's possible that you're too nervous to feel it, but that's unlikely, because I've been exposed to hostility so badly that I could feel it in the breeze.

I don't know if I should laugh at the idea that the training is harder.

But apart from being nervous, I'm a little surprised that you don't seem to be depressed.

"Surprised?

Despite being in such a place, Memoria blinked her eyes a few times, as if she hadn't expected a generous smile to appear on her face.

The expression on her face was a little strange, so I asked her back, including the meaning of her teasing.

It's a good thing that you're able to get your hands on the best way to get your hands on the best possible product.

Hey, you know, when I drew the lottery, I got a dent in it, but the fact that I was able to calm down and regain my composure was huge.

This year's competition was a lottery tournament.

During the opening ceremony, we took turns drawing lots.

I thought I could survive until the second round or so depending on the draw, but my bad luck was too much.

I wanted to lament my bad luck right then and there, but I chided myself for exposing my abomination in the middle of an important event, as I never knew what would happen later.

My opponent for the first game is the famous candidate for this year's championship, the vice-captain of the Kingsguard, the demon tribe, Kizan Koyo.

When he realized that I was his opponent, he glanced at me for a moment, but as if I was insignificant, he immediately cut his gaze.

Even though I've been fighting with instructors and am used to fighting demons, my opponent is still too high-ranking to be considered evil.

That reaction is natural.

Perhaps, but if you fight, the odds are ninety-nine percent against you.

The odds of victory are as slim as the thread of a needle, and the spectators are praying that it won't end with a single blow for the sake of excitement, or they are hoping for a quick exit.

If this was a fine line between winning and losing, you would have a different mindset, but if your opponent is on a higher level, especially a higher level with a clear difference in strength, you have no choice but to open up.

"I'm just going to try not to lose unceremoniously.

So I decided to take it easy and not declare that I would win.

What are your true feelings?

My daughter-in-law seems to know what's on my mind.

She looked up at me and saw through my facade and asked me what I was feeling in the back of my mind.

I can't wait to see how the audience will react if I win.

Then I'll look forward to it.

"Oops, it was a viper.

So I grinned and smiled like a naughty boy playing a trick on me and honestly said I wanted to cause a reversal and I was hoping for it.

But there will be a lot of noise when it really happens.

It must be.

It's rare to see humans at the event of the demon king's army.

After all, it's common knowledge that a human is an inferior race.

You'll be booed at the mere presence of a human, and if you beat the winner, there will be a great commotion in the air.

With a secret desire to destroy such an atmosphere, you turn your attention to the delicious aroma that is beginning to waft in the air.

"Put a little sugar in here.

"Hmm, I see. I'm impressed that you're so skilled at your age.

"No, not that much.

"No, don't be modest. Your skill is impressive. Like my master, humans are full of potential.

Mmm, it smells so good.

There, Katsu and Himik are cooking with something to eat while watching the game.

Amelia watches the scene intently like a puppy waiting to eat.

What a peaceful scene!

That's the kind of environment Master Evia has created.

"Suela, are you done with your commentary over there?

It's a formality of a match, and although there are referees present, it's a peaceful sight to see what could cost you your life if you're not careful, when Suela, who is probably done with her commentary, walks over to you, supporting her stomach.

Yeah, I guess I'm just focused on my player profile now.

Okay, so, as I said, the supervisors have prepared

Normally, the players should be in an anteroom, but...

In this way, each player has his own private room, and a guard has been placed at the entrance by the supervisor.

I wondered if this was just because of the incident.

Yes, to put it simply, it's to avoid trouble. Race, status, faction, and many other factors can cause trouble. Rather than putting them together in one room just because it's easier to protect them, it's less likely to cause problems if you give them a private room like this.

That's about it. Well, I'd prefer not to get tangled up in the pre-game, so that would be a big help.

That seems to have been an earlier issue.

It seems that they simply intended to avoid gathering their disagreements together in a room, and I'm sure that my intentions included me.

"I guess Jiro-san is an exception to the rule, though.

After all, there's never been a human participant before. If I'm wrong, I could be the only person in this tournament before or since.

It was a rare opportunity to be present.

A win would be an even more precious sight.

Yeah, I guess so.

Our wives are so strict.

I wish I could get that kind of result, smiling at my wives who want me to win.

Oh!　The game is about to start!

"I look forward to it, that I do.

It looks like we're dealing with a dark elf and a dragon tribe.

"Let's bring it to your table, Himik.

"Mm, go ahead,

"I'll help you too!

The beginning of the first game.

Watching the opening of the battle feast in such a leisurely space.

Clenching your fists, you swear your victory in your heart.

No matter who your opponent is, your heart is unbeaten.

Word of the Day

Sometimes a bad fight is required, but sometimes grace is also required.
