Chapter 274: Duel tournament tag team match finals and victory celebration
Author note:
You may feel uncomfortable because there is a battle of the dark summoner. If you are not comfortable with this, please be careful.
-----------------------------------
This afternoon, I decided to tell everyone about Druj Nasu and ask them to be on the lookout for her. I don't think anything will happen during the event, though. I'm afraid of what might happen if I don't tell them early enough.
I met up with Tetsushin-san and was introduced to the party members.
"This is the clergy Waifu"
Oh? Could this name be.
"Hahaha...as you can imagine, but it's personal information, so don't tell me"
Seriously!? So these children are around the same age as me...
"I'm the mage Shizuku"
"I told you to call yourself a magical girl, but..."
"Shut up. Creepy nerd"
"Don't say that in public! I mean, I'm not creepy! I just like magical girl anime...ha!?"
I've learned a lot of information I shouldn't have.
"Ah~...Knight Kai. Please pretend that I didn't say anything earlier"
"Okay. I'm Takuto, the summoner. This is the clergy Mirai"
"...It's nice to meet you"
After introducing ourselves, we watched the game together. Then Tetsushin-san asks me.
"Takuto-kun, you haven't seen the board, have you? Who do you think will win?"
"I don't know for a moment. If it's a summoner, I think Takuma, who has a dragon and Aroma that is paired with the angel will survive, but what happens because Takuma is fighting Tristan-san and Aroma is fighting the dark summoner..."
I was secretly rooting for Maya-san, the earth dragonewt, but unfortunately she lost in the first round to a pair of heavy warrior and archer I didn't know. I knew I would be stuck if I could attract the summoned beast with provocation.
Other than Maya, the number of summoners has been reduced in a similar way. After all, if it is such a game, the player who has applicability will be better off.
"Umm. What about the other players?"
"If you are not an acquaintance of mine, the heavy warrior and mage duo over there are extremely strong and then there is the male and female knight pair over there"
Then Mirai and Tetsushin-san were impressed.
"Those two pairs were also mentioned in the bulletin board"
"The heavy warrior and the mage are players like you in the Reich Empire. The male and female knight pair were previously unknown players, but their combination has made them stand out in this event"
That heavy warrior and mage are the ones who hid the information that Kaito was saying...he's the culprit because the mage has given instructions. What a fateful mischief...Arleigh and Rekka will fight.
The result is that Arleigh and Rekka lost. Rekka was winning the magic battle, but Arleigh was beaten by the heavy warrior and the battle was over. Arleigh was trying to do something, but the difference in level between him and his opponent was highlighted.
The male and female knight pair certainly had outstanding combinations. They seem to move naturally, without signaling when to attack and when to defend. This is why they are repeating solid battles with no gaps. If they continue to win, they will have to fight Mels team.
Before that, Mel and her partner will have to fight Tristan-san or Takuma, but accidents do happen.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I drew the Grim Reaper card...and it's in the right position"
The effect is the annihilation of all allies and enemies. As a result, Takuma was defeated without using his dragonification. Mel and her partner won the game unopposed. I was wondering why there was a draw in the rules, but this is how it happened.
After that, Mel and her partner and the knight duo fought, and after a fierce battle, the knight duo won. It was a result of a complete combination loss. Normally, Mel and her partner would have had the advantage, but Rika's recklessness was the result.
"This is going to be a long sermon..."
Mirai sighed, anticipating the sight of Kayo's sister lecturing her at dinner.
And the rough part was the battle between the dark summoner and Aroma. Aroma knew that the summoner's techniques were ineffective against the dark summoner. Therefore, he first killed the frenzied summoned beast with the archangel's heavenly strike.
Now it was one against two, but the dark summoner didn't seem to mind. When Aroma used Blitz, the dark summoner dodged the Blitz. It's the same evasion skill that the dark summoner I fought before used.
"Oops. Watch out. Now it's my turn!"
The dark summoner closes the distance. Naturally, the archangel put up its shield to protect itself. That was just what the dark summoner wanted.
The dark summoner attacked the shield that was provoked and easily destroyed the weapon and then beat up the Archangel in a fight and the Archangel was defeated.
Aroma's fire blast caught the dark summoner, but he was hit by the dark summoner who came before him while eating the fire blast and Aroma was defeated.
"I'll give you credit for fighting me. I'll take good care of your little angel in return"
The dark summoner's laughter echoed. Hearing this, I clenched my fists tightly.
There were some rough games, but the top four are here...the remaining players are the pair of heavy warrior and mage, a dark summoner, Yoichi-san and Mangetsu-san and the male and female knight duo.
Yoichi-san and Mangetsu-san have fought and won against the pair of Reppuu-san and Keigo and Yukos pair. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.
After finishing dinner, the semi-finals began. At first, it was a battle between the dark summoner and the pair of heavy warrior and mage, but at this point, the dark summoner gave up without a fight. Seeing this, the mage is in a panic. Tetsushin-san asks me.
"...How do you see it?"
''It looks like he deliberately gave away the win. He's making excuses, but it looks like monkey business to me"
"If you can't win anyway, you might as well inflict maximum damage on your opponent...he's a tricky opponent"
Now if the dark summoner fights normally in the third place match, the suspicion of the pair of heavy warrior and mage is confirmed. And then there was the battle between the knight pair and Yoichi-san and Mangetsu-san, but after a fierce battle, they lost.
The knight duo attacked Yoichi-san first with a gale thrust, but Mangetsu-san guarded him. And Yoichi-san took the opportunity to shoot Arrow Rain, but was defended by his shield. In the end, the knight duo's combination was so high that Mangetsu-san was the first to be defeated. Even so, I thought Mangetsu-san was amazing, as he didn't step back against the two knights to prevent them from attacking Yoichi-san until the end.
Tetsushin-san asks me.
"Are you acquainted with the heavy warrior?"
"Yes, I do. We got together at an event and now we're working together. He seems to want to fight?"
"After seeing a fight like that...of course"
In the third place match, the dark summoner still fought normally, but Mangetsu-san and Yoichi-san overpowered him. It still brought out the fact that summoner specialization is weak against normal occupations.
Then came the final match. Here, the trump card of the knight duo exploded. The male knight attacks the heavy warrior with gale and the female knight throws a sword when the heavy warrior is hit by a shield. The mage, who was in the midst of chanting, was hit in the face by an unexpected attack and fell to his knees.
The heavy warrior also tried to do something, but the opponent was capable of defeating Mangetsu-san. In the end, his vitality was slowly being drained and in the end, he gambled for a big move, but it was rejected and the match was over.
The event ended with the same award ceremony as yesterday.
"In the end, the combination was the key to victory"
The winning knights seemed to be inferior to the other players in terms of individual ability, but they made up for their inferiority with excellent combinations and strategies.
"It's only natural since it's a tag team match, but I'm sure the bulletin board will be abuzz"
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. They've been mentioned as the winners, but they've been told to lose"
That's right. But after seeing their battle, I don't think anyone can complain. It was such a great battle.
Afterwards, I befriended Tetsushin and the others and took them home. We were free to warp for the rest of the day. So I prepared a celebration for Tetsushin-san, Mangetsu-san, Yoichi-san and the others.
"Eh...here's to celebrating the end of the event!"
Kanpai!
After toasting everyone, we ate the food that Ion and the others had prepared for us. This is the first time I've seen the kitchen in full operation. In case you were wondering, Kiki-san also cooked for us.
"Uma!? This is the dish that held the key to victory in the battle against Astaroth and the zombie event!?"
"...I'm glad I was able to eat the long-sought subhuman home cooking"
"Are you going to reveal that here!?"
Arleigh tapped Kai on the shoulder.
"I understand"
"Thanks"
Arleigh and Kai were hitting it off. I don't want to get involved in that. I know I'm the main culprit, but I feel like if I get involved with that, I'm done.
Then Tetsushin-san came in.
"No~, I'm sorry about that...I just met you today and you all treated me to a meal"
"Please don't worry about it, it's our way of thanking you for saving us"
Then the fortuneteller older sister got involved. She was the one who had been working with Tristan-san.
"That's right! It's not polite here anymore!"
