"Welcome! We're waiting! We'll be holding a Great Keith Fighting Tournament!"

-Oh, oh, oh, oh! ! ! ! ! ! !

Amphitheater The sound of the ground and the cheers are shaking. The arena is overcrowded.

"Wow," "Wow, there are so many people," I and Sa-san opened their mouths and looked up.

"Hey, Aya, are you okay? Are all of your opponents strong?" "I'm fine. I'm worried. Lu-chan." Does not seem to be eager. The warriors on the circular ring at the center of the arena are all good-looking and impressive. By the way, it is a non-discriminatory class only for this fighting tournament-that is, a tournament with no gender, no race.

Because the champion of this tournament can be a one-year “state-recognized hero” in the country of fire. That's why every hoped participant is given a chance. Participants come from all over the country as well as from abroad for honor and fame.

At the venue, live broadcasters read out the names of the participants one after another. The loud cheers every time are probably famous warriors.

"Even though it is such a tournament, there are only 32 participants." "My husband, no, Yo. The qualifying tournament has already been held. It seems that the number of applicants exceeded 10,000 people." I was surprised at the conversation between Nina and Fujiyan. T r a ns la ted b y jp m t l .c o m

"Sasan, did you have a qualifying tournament?" "No, I didn't. I just wrote my name on the entry sheet."

"Makoto brave. Apparently Aya was selected as a member of the tournament as a special frame because he was a friend of the brave man in the water country," Princess Sofia told with a hard look.

"Well, that's it ..." "Perhaps because of the wonder of the country of fire. If Aya doesn't participate voluntarily, Makoto the brave will join for some reason. It's highly likely that he was ... "" Would you beat the brave of the country of water at the tournament and let the strength of the warrior of the country of fire be known? " . I sighed.

-Next, the representative of the water country "Aya Sasaki! ! 』

Saa's name was called. I tried to do my best and noticed that the surrounding air had changed completely.

"Retracted!" "Yacho Nagaro!" "Boo!" "Let's lose quickly!" "Don't you think it's bad for those who won the qualifying?" "Shame on you!"

T r an sl a ted by Jp m t l.c o m "What the hell! This is it!" Resents Lucy. "It has been leaked that Aya went to the tournament without qualifying. The source was probably the work of the upper ranks of the country of fire." Princess Sofia bitten her lips. "The Great Keith fighting tournament final tournament is said to be the highest honor for warriors who can only participate, because a regular warrior can not even survive the qualifying .... Because of its envy, it is a show." Nina, who was a warrior, said he was compelling.

"Nah, uh ... Sa-san. It's better to abstain from this atmosphere." I was worried about Sa-a and shouted, but his gaze was pointed at the VIP seat on the top floor of the arena.

Sitting there are the Kings of Great Keith and, in the vicinity, nobles from home and abroad. One day, you can see the people of the Four Holy Nobles in the Sunland. Gerald ... isn't there (good).

In front of Saa's gaze, Olga Saul Talisker, a dark-haired hero, sat cross-legged on a dark skin with a large lack of interest.

"Okay, Takatsuki-kun. My goal is to beat him." I don't seem to want to abstain.

"Okay, but don't overdo it." "Yeah!" Then she went near Lucy, Princess Sofia, and told her.

"Sophia, Lucy. Thank you for your support." "Leave it! Makoto" "Ok, Makoto the brave. If Aya is injured, he will be cured by a healer in the water country. I'm prepared, but I'm preparing for the emergency because the fire country is breathing. "No, I don't think it will be normal in this condition. Princess Sofia's consideration is saved.

"Hey, Takatsuki-kun is a subjugation of the Serpent's religion, so be careful." Conversely, Sa-san turns his worried eyes. Yes, the day the rally of snake cults was held was the day of the fighting tournament. By chance?

(No, maybe I dare to aim ...)

As if aiming for the inauguration ceremony of the brave of light in the land of the sun. When everyone's consciousness is heading in another direction, a trick that works from behind. Is the archbishop Izak again involved again this time?

"Now, let's go!" Sa-san ran towards the ring of the fighting party. I turned to Fujiyan, Nina, Princess Sofia and Lucy ... and talked to Juliae, who was grumpy with a straw.

"Hello, I'm going to ask you to support me, but I'm glad I ran away if you weren't sick." Juliae didn't want to go out after seeing the future of the royal city ruining. He seemed a little mentally unstable, so he suggested returning to McAllen first. However, it remained in the royal capital of the country of fire.

"I don't like to run away with my tail alone. And my knights and other people won't run away. Then you change the future." "Oh, I understand." I received the encouragement and nodded.

"Let's go, Brave Makoto," the patron knight called me. In order to defeat the serpent cult this time, she had to rent a patron of Knight of Sophia and some of the senior knights of escort. It seems that there is no way to go alone with the brave.

(... Good luck, Sa-san)

Tr a nsl ated b y jp m t l.com After the fighting venue, which still has boos, we headed to the meeting place with the subjugation squad.



"Welcome, you are the unit of the brave man in the country of water." "Yes, you are the special unit that General Talisker was talking about." The patron knight is talking. Both of them don't have any big armor and are minimally armed (I was light in nature). At first glance, it looks like an adventurer or mercenary.

This operation must not be noticed by the serpent cult. For this reason, a special unit of about a dozen people created for this time will be formed, aiming at the target point. The knight of the young fire country in front of you is the guide.

After following the guide knight for a while, I noticed that the city was getting deserted.

"This area is called the favela. It is the least secure area in the royal city of Gamelan," said a knight. I didn't know what to say, but nodded anyway. Looking at the town's inhabitants, it is true that clothes are often garnished and children are barefoot. Some are drunk or betting on betting before the sun has climbed yet. The word favela did not seem strange.

(Just ... the residents seem to be fine)

Unlike the lowest towns in the Sun Country, they are modest in appearance, but they all have lively faces. Races are disjointed, humans and beasts are dwarves and elves. Maybe there are demons?

There were no particular problems on the way. On the way, evil toys and begging were entangled with something, but when the knight as the guide showed some mark, she scattered with a blue face.

"What was that earlier?" I was worried and asked a question, and the young knight answered.

"The brave man, I showed you this Emperor Knight's emblem." In my hand, I had an emblem with a "goddess with a book and a sword".

"He's so young that he's excellent at 'Executive Knight'." I laughed while being shy.

An executive knight is, in a nutshell, a profession like a police and judge.

Penalties The authority is great, not only can you find sinners, but you can also do it on the spot. It's terrifying, but it's legal for an executive knight to say, "You are a sinner" and cut off your opponent. It is reasonable that the evil kid ran away.

By the way, the execution knight is not a special occupation of the fire country. They seem to be in every country. It is said that the country of the sun is the most and the country of the water is not a little. The goddess of the sun In order to qualify as an execution knight, it is necessary to protect the “sama,” who controls justice and victory, and to overcome rigorous trials and tests. In other words, the young knight in front of you is the elite of the elite.

Tr an sl a ted by jp mtl .c o m "The hero arrived at the entrance," walked for a while and arrived at a place like a deserted garbage dump from a low-traffic back alley. In the direction the Knight was pointing, I saw a stone gate and stairs leading down to the basement.

"This is the entrance to the Catacombs of the Fireland, the brave man." "It's hot during the day of the Fireland. It's a custom in Japan that we want the dead to sleep gently in a cool place." Huh ... "said the patron knight and the execution knight.

"Be careful, it's dark," we slowly descended the stairs to the basement.

The heat above the ground seemed like a lie, and the basement was full of cool air. The underground passages have air holes in some places because they are not completely enclosed spaces, and there are some places where light leaks, but it is almost dark. We went through the darkness using the "night vision" skill.

Both sides of the aisle have endless grave markers. Now it's daytime and it's a group so it's not scary, but do you want to come alone at midnight? When asked, I can say NO with confidence.

"How long does this underground grave last?" I asked the executive knight involuntarily at the cemetery where the end could not be seen after walking for a while. "This cemetery and corridor extends outside the royal capital. It is one of the evacuation routes in case the royal capital falls, so it is built like a maze, so you can not come alone It's better. "

"Every knight in the country of fire will be hammered with a map of this underground passage into his head. It is not permissible to have a paper map. The reason is ... you know, right?" Mareta.

"If it is taken away by the enemy, it is a matter of life and death." It is a passage that can be secretly entered from outside the capital.

"Yeah, taking notes will be severely punishable. The punishment is unique. If you find a soldier who holds a map of the underground passage on paper, "I'm afraid to come back on my own. Is it terrible?" "" "..." "Is it a black joke? I, the patron knight, and the knights of the Water Country looked away.

"What would happen if I didn't come back?" Asked the most anxious point. The executive knight turned his gaze out of the question.

"You see, the tomb there is for a rookie knight in the land of fire. Once a year, there is a soldier who can't come back. "" "..." The people of the water nation are don-pullers. Sparta, a soldier in the country of fire!

"What a joke." "Huh?" Looking at our expressions, the executive knight shrugged.

How far are you joking? Is it a joke that the gravepost you pointed to belongs to a new knight? Is the content of the punishment a joke?

(Let's stop listening deeply ...)

We then went silent.

The Labyrinth The interior of the catacomb was just right. There are no tombstones, and passageways extend left, right, up and down. There were many forked roads on the way, and I was convinced that I would never get lost when I first saw it.

By the way, the "map" skill, one of the "RPG player" skills, is running at full capacity. If the defeat of the serpent cult this time was a lie and trapped me and the knight of the water country in the underground labyrinth ...

"Someone is there," the executive knight quietly signaled by hand. Everyone stops.

At the end of a long straight road. Looking at the depths of darkness with the "night vision" skill, there is certainly someone standing. There is a possibility of immortal place, but ...

"I'm a member of the serpent cult. Probably a watchman," said the executive knight. Everything seems to be mixed with the blood of a beast race that works at night. By the way, since the country of fire is a supreme principle, even if it is a beast, it seems that discrimination is not so much if it is strong.

"I'm in trouble, this is a straight road. It takes a long time to make a detour," said the uncle in his arms. The execution knight quickly removed the magic tool. It looks like an hourglass.

"The lookout was as expected, and we knew that it was difficult to remove it because of the structure of the underground labyrinth, so if there was a lookout near the anticipated location of the serpent cult, The plan is to have a surprise attack all at once when it's gone, so it's okay to find him on the lookout. "" I see. " So it's going to be waiting for a while.

"Would you like to neutralize the lookout?" So far, I just kept up and didn't help. However, the executioner and guardian knights looked suspicious.

"It would be impossible to beat the lookout without realizing it." "There is more than a hundred mils from here to the lookout. You will definitely find it."

"Then we shouldn't be able to see it," I replied calmly.



"I'm sleeping ..." "Simply like this ..." We came close to the watch, but the serpent cult fell asleep. By the way, there were two lookouts, but they slept together.

"The brave man in the country of water. Is the technique just an elementary water magic" fog "?" An executive knight stares at a small bottle in my hand with interest.

"Yes, I drunk the water in this bottle into a mist and watched it. The contents of this bottle are a trade secret." The Moon Priestess In fact, the water that she cursed to sleep.

"I can't help you at that distance without any notice! No, it's wonderful," said the patron knight. "... It's an interesting technique, it will be helpful." The eyes of the knight and the execution knight sharpened for a moment. However, she immediately returns to a calm expression.

Target point "Thanks to Makoto the brave, we can move forward. The serpent cult will be restrained and watched by a knight. We will go ahead. I nodded quietly.

After that, he slowly followed the dark passage without any conversation. The expression of the executive knight giving the guidance is nervous. Probably the target point is very close.

After a while, a red light came into view at the end of the passage. When I checked it with the clairvoyant skill, I found that it was the light of fire.

"I'm here." "Yes, this is definitely the meeting place for the Serpent's cult." We were trying to wait, be careful not to get too close. There is a little time left for the hourglass to survive. However, the eyes of the knight were astonished.

"I'm stupid!" Suddenly, the execution knight ran. e? Should I wait?

"What will you do, Brave?" "Let's follow him." I and the guardian knight were unable to swallow the situation but followed the rabbit.

Theater There was a place like a giant circle, unlike a basement. Around the theater, a torch was burning, illuminating the inside of it red.

At first I didn't know what it was.

I thought that Nanika was spread all over the floor.

There they lay down-hundreds of humans lay.
