146 - - The Brave Have Lunch

A competition against students from other schools.

It was finally the last day of the three-day battle.

After the morning session [Treasure Hunt], we were having lunch.

In the waiting room of the imperial arena.

We are sitting around a table.

"Fniffff.... Fufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufu."

My brother-in-law, the angel Michael, says as he chomped down on his sandwich.

"Micah, don't talk with that thing in your mouth. You don't know what you're talking about."

Shaking his head, "Oh dear," says the beautiful blonde-haired boy, my brother Gaius.

"Hey, I've been watching you, you know."

"Whew!　Yoo-hoo!"

Fluffily moving his mouth, the brother-in-law raises his hands.

"Brother, did you hear what Mica said?"

"Oh, I read their thoughts."

"Don't peek inside my head naturally ......, you're not reading my thoughts too, are you!"

"What, why are you in such a hurry?"

Hmph!　Gaius turns away.

Then a tall, beautiful woman walks up to us.

"Gentlemen, the tea is ready, handsome!"

"Oh, Dantalion. Sorry."

She is Dantalion, with dark hair, tall, and a well-developed body.

Originally an athlete from another school, she is now my wife.

By the way, she used to be a demon, but now she is just a human being for some reasons.

He puts a cup of tea for the number of people on the table.

"Here is your tea, Mika-san. It's milk tea, not bitter.

"Whew!"

My brother-in-law accepts a teacup from Dantalion and gulps it down.

"Thank you, Aneue~!

Mikael is completely attached to Dantalion.

He hugs her and rubs his cheek against her ample chest.

"Yes, yes, it's good to be close.

"I'm good friends with Aniue, too!"

Bam ......!　And Mikhail hugs me this time.

"Hey Mica!　Get off me. Your brother's in trouble because he can't eat lunch!"

Gaius tries to pull him off.

"He doesn't seem to be bothered. Gaius gets angry whenever someone tries to be friendly with another person. Is he jealous?"

"No, you idiot!　Enough!　Get away from me~!"

"YEAH!"

Seeing us struggling, Dantalion laughs "腐腐腐......♡".

"Oh ...... beautiful brotherly love ...... ♡ wonderful ...... ♡ I'll have a side dish today ♡♡"

"What the hell are you doing?　d*mn it!"

Looking on are Elise the elf and Sakura, Princess of the Far East.

"It looks like Dantalion-san has become one of us!

"Yes, I guess so... ......"

"Yes?　Elise?　More rivals, you know?"

"My friends seem happy, so I thought, why not?"

Elise is especially close to Dantalion.

Through this battle, they have developed a bond with each other and with their new friends.

"By the way, Julius,...... how is that,......?　Lunch ......"

Dantalion wriggles and says.

"Oh, it's so good!"

"Really? I'm a handsome guy."

Lunch was a clubhouse sandwich made by Dantalion.

"You made it in a very short time. You're good."

"What a waste of words. ...... I'm glad ...... you're pleased with my work. ...... ♡"

Gaius pinched the back of my hand, looking at a beaming Dantalion.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, no, no, no, no!　Hmph!"

Elise and the others look at Gaius warmly as he turns away.

"As usual..." "Why can't Gaius be honest?" I see... a tsundere heroine?"

"I am!　I'm not a woman!　No!"

Somewhat.

"After a lunch break, it's finally time for the afternoon session. Last chance to cry, last chance to laugh. Let's keep our heads up.

Gaius, the team leader, looks over at us.

The first-place school will be awarded the trophy, the Chalice, a cup that holds an enormous amount of magical power. It is currently in the possession of the Empire, but we don't want it to fall into the hands of another school."

"We don't want it to be misused."

"Yes. The Eastern Commonwealth and the Holy Empire have been sending out players who are reincarnated or demons. I don't know what they're thinking.

But the Eastern Federation retired?

On the morning of the third day of competition, the leader, Dantalion, lost his fighting spirit.

Other damage made it difficult for him to continue the competition and he withdrew from the event.

Three teams, the Royal, Imperial, and Holy Empire, will compete for the championship.

"We are currently in first place. I hope we can keep our lead and finish in first place.

"Anchi is a man of action. You're a do-er.

"And the most alarming is the Holy Empire. All of them are reincarnated. Especially Kazuma, who is ...... unusually strong. He and his brother had a good competition.

Everyone becomes nervous.

"What are you guys looking so scared of?"

"No, ...... I just thought that if you were as big a monster as Julius, I'd be afraid of you when I hit you."

"All right!　Anyue will take care of it!　Hey!　Anyue!"

"Oh, yeah. I just don't know what's going to happen in the afternoon at ....... If anyone other than me plays Kazuma, don't push yourself too hard.

I look at Gaius.

"Okay?　Don't ever do anything reckless."

"Hey, why are you only telling me ......?"

You're a competitive guy. I'm worried you'll overreach."

"Oh, you're worried about me?"

"Of course, of course."

Because he's my little brother.

"I see... I see... I see... ...... haha!　Mooo!　Your brother is a coward!"

Sakura and the others look on warmly.

"Is she a female?" Fudfudfudfud......♡ Good, good, good ♡ I must save it in the rose folder in my brain!"

"What the hell are you guys talking about?

Sorry."""Sorry."""

Gaius exhales.

"You're all too tense."

"That's fine. There's no point in getting too worked up about it."

"Well, ......, I guess so."

And that's when it happened.

"Oh, my old brother interrupted the conversation without reading the air.

"Mikayan, you still don't like the chancellor, do you?"

Mikhail's real brother is Lucifer, the chairman of the board.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are cheering you on from the audience."

"Ehhh!　Aneue, come with me!"

No, no," Michael says, clinging to Dantalion's waist.

"Mika, I am a retired student from another school."

"Because. Come on, Mica, let's go."

"Cheeeehoooo ......"

Gingerly, the students of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts are going out.

"Um, ...... Mr. Julius..."

"Hmm?　What's up, Dantalion?"

I turn and look at her.

Dantalion's face is close by and he kisses me on the forehead with a kiss .......

"Good luck."

"Oh, thank you."

I greet Dantalion's smiling face and leave the room.

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

My brother pinched me on the side.

"What are you doing?"

"No, no, no, no, no!　You two must be very good friends!"

Poof!　Gaius turned away and moved on.

"Oh, Dantalion! He's got the dignity of a full-fledged wife. Elise, don't let him down!

"Yeah, well, ...... will do its best!"

"Me too!"

We were all fired up and ready for the final competition.
