134 - - The Brave Challenge Day 3

I heard the chancellor's announcement in the Royal Antechamber.

"All right, let's go ...... and win!"

Gaius stands up and looks around at everyone.

We nod and put our fists together.

"Gaius is a little more dependable now."

My brother-in-law Mikael said to Gaius.

"Is that so ......?　It's kind of embarrassing."

But I'm not as good as Aniue!"

"Yes, yes, I know that better than anyone. Come on, let's go."

We open the door to the waiting room.

"Hi, guys."

"Oh, Anti."

The front antechamber belonged to the Empire.

He, too, was heading for the field with the other members of the team.

We walk down the corridor together.

"So this is the last one. It's been a long time, but it's been a short time.

"It's been an intense three days. Especially because of you."

Oh dear," sighs Anti.

"How's your enthusiasm?"

When asked by Gaius, Anti says confidently, "I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'm ready!　It is of course up to us, the members of the Empire, to win and obtain the Holy Grail!"

Anti-Shinjuku does not show the slightest sign of fear.

He says it proudly and proudly.

"Everyone is performing at their best. I can say that there is not a single element that can make us lose now.

"""" Dear Anti ......!

Anti looks at the members and their wives and nods firmly.

"Don't be discouraged, gentlemen, we will win. Let's go!"

""""Yes! ......!

Anti-Anti walks straight ahead.

The other members saw his back, and the color of tension disappeared from their faces.

"......, you're doing a good job, Anti!"

I whisper to him so that only he can hear me.

"...... what are you talking about?"

"...... you're really the one who's worried the most, aren't you?"

"...... you can see everything. That's what I'm talking about."

The antagonist chuckles.

Yes, he is not showing any of his inner turmoil to his subordinates in order not to make them uneasy.

"......I'm really scared, you know."

"...... to lose?"

"...... more than that, it's whether or not the girls will finish the match in one piece."

Anti's men are certainly strong (by this world's standards).

However, they are a few steps behind the students from other schools.

I heard that the third day was mainly a battle.

In other words, the risk of injury is high.

"......They are the next queens of this country. They are the country's treasures. I don't want to lose them. I'd rather abstain than have them get hurt."

"...... What if you lose and they take the Holy Grail?"

"...... is easy. We'll just get it back next year, won't we?"

I see. So the lives of my men come first.

The next emperor is a good man.

"...... Anti, you're a really nice guy."

"...... you'll beat me. That's how you send salt to the enemy. You're relieving my tension, aren't you?"

It was like he had seen right through me.

"I appreciate your concern. But from here on out, you're my competitor. You don't have to do anything I don't want you to do."

We made it to the entrance to the arena.

Anti has a serious look on his face and I say to him

"I know. Good luck, Captain.

Anti also smiles and nods.

"Well, gentlemen!　Let's go win!"

"""" Yes!　Mr. Anti! """"

The Reich will enter first.

We form a circle on the spot.

"Well, Captain, how are you feeling?"

No, I don't. We're strong without being overconfident. Let's go on as usual!"

""""Oh! """"

With Gaius leading the way, we enter the arena.

The crowd is already packed.

"Anti-Sama!" Good luck, Mr. Anti!""" Show the Empire what you're made of!"

The crowd cheered loudly, but most of them were cheering for the Empire.

Well, they are at home, after all, and they are currently in second place with this group of players.

The players line up in the center of the field.

Lucifer, the president of the board of trustees, comes in front of us with a wicked smile on his face.

"Your old brother always looks so unhealthy and disgusting," he says.

"Mika-yan, you really don't like your brother, do you?"

The chairman of the board clears his throat.

>

Lucifer echoes his voice with magic.

>

"""" treasure hunt? """"

Suddenly, a competition has started that I don't understand.

"What do you mean by 'a certain place' ...... where on these grounds do you go on a treasure hunt?"

The antagonist's question is valid.

<

"What the heck is that on ......?

When I looked up, I saw a huge castle floating in the air.

"It's huge!" What is that castle? I wonder if we're flying or what's going on?

The audience and the antagonists were freaking out.

"I see. ...... But isn't it a lot of luggage to carry around with all that treasure?"

The chairman snaps his fingers.

A pendant suddenly appears around our necks.

"What is this pendant?

"Hmm, infinite storage is a very high level of ...... granted magic, isn't it!"

"Oh, no, that's not true.　I can do it just fine."

"Well, you are, aren't you?

The chancellor says with a grin.

<

"Old brother, let's get off your soapbox and get on with explaining the rules, shall we?"

Yes, yes," the chairman continues.

"I see. ...... at the end of the match, right?"

"Aniue?　What's going on?"

"No, I just thought it was going to be pretty rough."

<<

Mikhail is certainly right.

The chancellor's smile is snorting and weird.

"Why not?"

Fighting monsters, and students fighting each other for the treasure.

As expected, the third day is going to be quite a showdown.

"We're being sent apart!　What would happen if a student without power were left alone in the monster!"

The antis are the first to protest.

Still, Anti's expression did not clear.

"It's all right, Mr. Anti!"

"Not...... but it's too dangerous......."

Nott, one of the team members, nods with a determined look on his face.

"We are the next emperor's women!　I'm not standing here with half a mind!"

"""That's right!　Mr. Anti!""""

The girls nod.

"Mr. Anti, please give us instructions. Give us a plan. We will do as you tell us ...... to win!"

Anti's anxious face quickly changes.

"Okay, I'll trust you all."

What a fine captain he is!

And so, on the third day, the [treasure hunt] began.
