Chapter 273: Duel tournament tag team match

The next morning, I logged in as usual and convinced Lily and the others not to go see the show.

Yesterday, I was conspicuous with Lily and the others, but that was to persuade them and also to be inconspicuous today. But of course, I couldn't persuade them without a reason.

"Actually, it seems that a dark summoner will appear with a tag this time"

!!?

Everyone was surprised. And then Ion spoke up.

"Then we should go even more! Is that a hindrance?"

"Youre not a hindrance. Ill explain that this dark summoner is different from the one we fought"

Wako is relieved. After all, trauma is not so easy to heal.

"But the bad manners seem to be outstanding. Lily and the others have been involved with a lot of people. That's why I don't want you to hate people"

"I see...I understand what you're saying. But Takuto-sama, you still have something to hide from us, don't you?"

Setia doesn't really see through...maybe I'm just not good...but when this happens, I have to talk.

"In fact, one of the dark summoner's abilities has been discovered. It seems it has the skill to take away the summoner's summoned beast"

!!?!?

Everyone was surprised. I also got a sneak peek from Mel yesterday. When asked about the authenticity of the information, it seems that Rook's orc was killed. Since party changes were not allowed in this tag team battle, Rook was disqualified at this point.

I thought this rule was a measure to deal with late arrivals and the like, but it seems that the dark summoners were also involved.

In addition to Rook, many other summoners had fallen victim to the dark summoners.

This event was the perfect stage for the dark summoners who could take the summoned beasts. After all, the summoners would be tag-teaming with the strongest summoned beast. In a normal battle, there are many of them and the risk of losing is high, but in a tag-team battle, the risk is low and the strongest summoned beast can be obtained.

Lily and the others would definitely be in their sights. Fortunately, the conditions for enslavement are known and the dark summoner needs to defeat the summoned beast.

If that's the case, the best safe bet would be not to take them in the first place. After that, it's best not to fight.

"I see...I understand. I'll be staying at home today"

"Setia-chan!?"

"Lily-sama, Takuto-sama is worried about us. We can't fight right now, so why don't you respect Takuto-sama's wishes today?"

"...Okay"

After Lily broke down, everyone also decided not to participate. I have to thank Setia for that.

After that, I went to the Beastmasters Guild to try to summon a Lesser Ogre. The result was failure. I knew the success rate wasn't good. I met up with Mirai and we headed to the event venue together.

Just like yesterday, the tournament list was displayed. There were two dark summoners among them. Each of them was in a different block. If Mel and the others were to compete, it would be in the semifinals.

And in the tag-team matches, there were still many summoners. The next most common were archers and mages. I guess the strong players who had a hard time in the solo matches were flowing to the tag team matches.

Then the tournament began.

The first thing that caught my attention was the dark summoner. The summoned beast went berserk and attacked both the dark summoner and his opponent. I thought it was the dark summoner's skill, but seeing as how he was also attacked, I'd say it was either the cost of the enslavement skill or the cost of the dark summoner's job title.

Wako was not enslaved and was out of control and the price of the dark summoner was richer.

But after watching these guys fight, I understood what Kaito and Kayo were talking about. These guys are punching and kicking a summoned beast that has gone out of control and it looks like they are completely abusing it.

Malicious behavior is forbidden by the rules of the operation. Still, the only reason it doesn't fall under the rules is because he's being attacked by a runaway summoner. There was no weapon attack or magic used, it was just a single attack. Perhaps excessive attacks are forbidden and cannot be done.

"You're Druj Nasu?"

"Well? I don't know"

A stranger's voice rang out in the midst of a quick-fire situation.

"Oh dear...we're in the middle of an event and we shouldn't be fighting"

Behind us was the winner of the single duel tournament, the samurai player.

"Young lady, give up today...or you'll have to fight me"

Druj Nasu, hearing this, glared at the samurai viciously and disappeared from the scene.

"I'm sorry...but you saved my life"

"...Thank you"

The samurai waved his hand as we thanked him.

"Ah, that's fine. I just didn't want to ruin the festivities, that's all. Do you need my self-introduction?"

"Yes. Congratulations on winning the event. "Congratulations on winning the event, Tetsushin-san the Samurai"

"Haha, thanks"

Mirai corrects when I say the name.

"No, it's not. Tetsushin the vagabond or Tetsushin the slayer of all things is correct"

"Isn't he right there? I just don't like what the board calls him"

"...Disappointing"

Mirai apparently likes the bulletin board better.

"I'm sorry, but can you tell me your name? I know the name of the young girl summoner, but I don't know the player name"

So sad! Am I going to have to keep being called by that name? Then Mirai told me.

"They call you strategist summoner, burning summoner, berserk summoner, right?"

"Thank you for telling me, but I reject all of them"

"Eh~"

Mirai said, but it was obvious that she was messing with me. Then, Tetsushin laughed at me. I regained my composure and introduced myself.

"I'm Takuto, the summoner"

"Im Mirai, his lover"

Mirai, aren't you trying to make an established fact? Let me correct it.

"Hahaha! You guys are so close! Once again, I am the samurai Tetsushin. I've always wanted to have a hand in business with you"

"Me too. I can't fight well at the moment, but if the opportunity arises, I would love to. I would be happy to fight you with my katana"

"Hou...I'm looking forward to it. I'm also interested in magic swords, but I can't resist the lure of the katana"

We hit it off so well that we decided to watch the afternoon match together. Then we parted ways for lunch. But we didn't leave, we came to the Adventurer's Guild of the Reich Empire. That's how I found out that the wanted list for the dark-fallen players was only voided during the event.

The appearance of Druj Nasu is all suspicious. I'm going to have to be careful this afternoon.
