Just before the finals began.
In the audience room, there were only two parties left: Shinji’s party , plus Emily and Akane, and Ichiro’s party and Mitono.
The two groups were sitting apart, but when Shinji called out to Ichiro, he stepped in and introduced himself.
As a party of upper ranking adventurers, they both wanted to make sure they knew each other, and the introductions went smoothly.
”I never thought we would be fighting in the finals”
”I knew we would have to fight Himeno-san at some point, but I didn’t think it would be in the final”
Shinji and Mitono talked to each other as if they were the representatives of this event.
Renka and Milis have no intention of talking to a man who isn’t their lover, and Jiro and Saburo can’t show their ugliness by hitting on a woman in front of their father and future Lord, so the conversation between the party is naturally between Shinji and Mitono.
”We’ve come this far, so we’ll just have to wait and see”
Mitono looked at the stage with a worried look on his face.
”You’re worried?”
”Of course. To be honest...... I’m not very good at rough stuff, so I don’t know how Hime feels”
Mitono let out a little bit of his true feelings when Shinji nodded with a mysterious look on his face.
”Himeno-san, she seems to be wishing to be a warrior. I guess it’s hard to understand when you don’t have to be in a fight”
”Yes. That’s why I stopped tying her up more than necessary...... If I want to be honest with myself, I’d like to say that I don’t know what I’m going to do......”
To tell the truth, Mitono wanted her to quit being a dangerous adventurer and wanted her to stay in the village forever.
However, Himeno took advantage of her position as the daughter of the village chief and convinced her father to let her go out and study the outside world as an adventurer so that she could be useful in the future.
Naturally, Mitono disagreed, but he had heard Himeno’s dream of traveling outside the village when she was a child, so he couldn’t talk her out of it.
So, Mitono and Himeno made a promise.
[I promised that I would only travel as adventurer until we got married]
Milis and Emily cheered from the window of the audience room, in contrast to the quiet people of the Dragon Horn.
”Al-kun! Good luck!”
”Alvin, show her the results of your training!”
Alvin, who had been waving, gave a thumbs-up to Milis.
And then Alvin and Himeno confronted each other.
”I’ve heard from Shinji. You’ve been specially training to fight me”
”Yeah. So, I’ll not let you win”
Alvin also smiled at Himeno, who smiled fearlessly.
It’s the kind of smile that’s typical of Alvin, a smile that’s both strong and excited about the fight.
Himeno smiled with amusement, sensing that Alvin was enjoying the fight as much as she was.
”There is no need for words. The sword will do the talking”
”Yeah...... Let’s go!!”
[The match starts!!]
With the ring girl’s declaration, Alvin and Himeno went head-to-head.
______________
Before the battle, he had a chat with Mitono-san.
He’s a good guy, a kind older brother with a big heart who can tolerate Himeno’s selfishness.
He loves his spouse, Himeno, and forgives her most of the time. To make matters worse, he spoils her, so she can’t stop being selfish.
