113 - - 114. Deepening interaction with brave people and students from other schools

The first day of the competition ended with an exhibition.

The real competition will start tomorrow.

We, the representative players, are to stay at the inn prepared by the management.

"We're all staying together!　I'm looking forward to it!"

Archangel (Michael) laughs.　It's a fairly large inn.

"Mwah!　Isn't that Julius over there?"

"Oh, Kazuma."

The five members of the Holy Empire had just arrived at the entrance.

"What, you're staying here too?"

"Mm!　What a coincidence!"

Then another group arrives.

"Geez!"

"Yo, Anti. What, the Empire is staying here too?"

The Antis and the Imperial Academy were all there.

"We ...... are also ...... ......."

A group from the Eastern Union had just arrived.

Apparently, all the members participating in the school competition were staying at the same inn.

"Well, we'll leave you to it then!　Let's go, members of our empire."

""""Yes, Mr. Anti!

It seems that the empire is composed of one man and four women.

"...... You've got to be kidding me!　I can't believe I'm staying with that monster!　I hope they have separate rooms!"

Anti checks in, mumbling.

"Let's check in too!　Julius, can I go visit you in your room later?

"Oh, great."

Smiling briskly, the members of the Holy Empire went to the reception desk.

The members of the Holy Empire consisted of three men and two women.

Just like us.

"Well then ...... Mr. Julius ...... excuse me ......"

"Oh, see you tomorrow, Dantalion."

Behind her, a group of men in cloaks and masks follows.

Judging from their body shapes, the Eastern Federation seems to be two men and three women.

"My God, my brother..." she said. What are you doing making friends with the enemy?

Oh dear," Gaius shakes his head.

"That's fine, we're opponents, but we're also students. Let's get along."

"You're always so easygoing, brother."

Gaius sighs.

"Well, on the other hand, you can always afford it, can't you? That's how confident you are in your abilities, isn't it?　That's Julius, you're a handsome guy."

"Gaiasu is jealous again. I can't stand it that Aniue is flirting with a guy from another school, can you?"

"Shut up, Mica!"

"You don't deny it, so that's what you're saying."

No, I'm not!　Come on, I'm checking in!"

The receptionist gives me a key.

It looks like there are two separate rooms for men and women.

"Yay!　I'm in the same room with Aniu!　Yay!"

"Good for you, Mika!"

"Yes, sir!　I'm going to visit Eri-chan's room later!"

The boys have rooms on the first floor and the girls on the second floor.

"What, there aren't so many rooms?"

"According to the brochure, there will be a large room at some point. But I wonder if there are enough for the whole ...... school?"

The women's team unfolds a pamphlet about the inn and nods their heads.

"Well, let's break up for now."

"Right. Let's have a strategy meeting after dinner.

We split up and headed for our rooms.

"Anyue, let's play card games!"

"Oh, yeah, sure."

"Come on, we're not here to play, you two!　...... at all."

Gaius walks in the front of the group, grumbling.

101. this room, right?

"Yay, me, one by one!"

"Oh, no. You can't get in here. It's unlocked.

But the door opened with a bang.

"What?" Huh?"

"Wow!　What's that, ......?　Why are there other people here?"

We go in.

It's a big room.

The interior of the room is a Japanese-style room, which is common in the Far East.

It was a room with tatami mats.

"Hey, everyone!　It's been a while!

"Kazuma?　Are you guys in this room, too?"

Kazuma, who had been drinking tea in the center of the room, gets up and comes to us.

"Mm!　Apparently, they only took two rooms, one for a man and one for a woman!"

"Heeeeyyyy!　Gaius ugh!　Help me, help me, help me!"

Anti cries out and clings to his brother's waist.

"What's wrong, Anti?"

"I'm going to die if I have to share a room with these monsters for a few days!　They'll kill me!　They're going to eat me!

"Ha ha!　I won't eat you!　That's a funny joke!"

Kazuma looks at the sobbing antagonist and says happily.

"But what does the chancellor intend ...... to have all the schools in the same room?　We're in competition with each other. ......"

"Well, that's fine. Don't think about it too much. Let's just put our stuff down."

The room itself is quite large.

There are currently nine men in this room, but it doesn't feel small at all.

Royal: 3 men.

Imperial: 1.

Holy Empire: 3.

The Eastern Commonwealth: 2. So, 9 men.

Is it a pity?　There are eyes. I couldn't get into the futon with Aniue. ...... ouch (fuh) ouch (fuh) ouch (fuh) ouch (fuh)."

Grizzly Gaius pinches his brother-in-law's cheek.

"Well, we'll be together for a few days anyway, so let's introduce ourselves."

"Mm!　Julius, you're right!"

We sit in a circle in the center.

"Okay, let's start with you, Mr. Royal. I'm Julius. This is my brother Gaius and Michael. We're all first-year students. Nice to meet you.

The brothers bow their heads.

It was now the turn of Kazuma and the others from the Holy Empire.

"I am Tenryu Kazuma!　I'm a fourth-year student at the Imperial Palace, and I'm also the student body president!"

Then it is the turn of Alto, a small man.

I am a first-year student and a member of the student council. Please give me a hand.

Sitting next to him was a large man.

Shaved head.

He was even bigger than Kazuma, who is a big guy.

"Is there an old man in the mix?"

"Hey!　Mica!　That's rude!"

But he laughs his head off.

"Don't worry about it. People often tease me about my old face.

The man with the monk's beard says in a sullen voice.

"My name is Zenkoji Takeru. Please feel free to call me Takeru. I'm a sixth grader at the Imperial Palace.

"Oh, Takeru. Nice to meet you.

"Okay, that's all of the Imperials!　Next, Anti-kun!"

But Anti wasn't anywhere near us.

He was sitting in the corner of the room, sitting in a triangle, bobbing and weaving.

"Don't be scared, Anti. They all seem to be nice and friendly, don't they?"

"You!　You probably haven't noticed because you're the first monster!　Every last one of them is constantly releasing strange pressure!"

We nod our heads.

I don't think I'm releasing any aura or magic power.

"Well, it can't be helped. There are so many fierce fighters here in one place. A normal person would shrivel up.

"What, you're scared of the antis?"

The antagonist frowns.

"Who's afraid of me?　I am the proud son of an emperor!"

Anti gets up and comes towards us.

He brushes his long silver hair with his hand and says, "I'll be right back.

I am Anti-von Madukas!　I am the son of the Emperor and the only male member of the Imperial Academy!　Gentlemen, please be gentle."

After a cool "pfft," he moved to a corner and sat down again.

"Come on, come sit with us over here."

"No, thanks. How many lives are enough ......?　The upper classes don't sit with the common people!"

"Anti, you're in the position of being a total tease and a poke?　Is Gaiusu dismissed?"

"What are you talking about, Micah ......?"

Well .

There are only two of the Eastern Federations left.

"Well then, why don't you two from the east introduce yourselves at the end?

I call out to the men in capes.

"Wow ...... your brother is talking to them normally ...... you're a real airhead ......"

"As expected of Anie!　It's great that you're not afraid of things!"

Both of them are still wearing their capes and masks even though they are in the room.

""............""

The masked men remained silent.

"You!　Don't do it!　What if you piss them off and they kill us all, hey!"

The masked man looks at the antagonist.

"Heeeeyyyy!　Help!　I'm not disrespecting you!　Don't eat me!"

And ...... the masked man says.
