223 Chapter 16-1 Topics Over Winners

"That's it! Individual winner is Tenma Ootri!

Almost at the same time as Blanca fell, the voice of the referee announcing my victory echoed in the venue, followed by a loud cheer. In addition to my side of the party, Yoshitsune is happy. Well, Blanca is losing her mind, so she won't see it, but every time Yoshitsune backed me up during the game, she was empowered with hatred, so if she had seen that, she might have attacked me even though the game was over.

I raised my hand to the audience's cheer and told the attendant to hurry up and take Blanca. Now I feel like it.

Even with it, you won't see Yoshitsune happy.

"Tenma Ootri, it's a pair of finals in an hour, will you be all right?

"It's okay."

This tournament was set to compete in the finals in the three divisions, as even the pair who abstained last time successfully won. I've just finished one of those individual fights, but the finals are supposed to be played on the same day by all three divisions, so I have to fight twice later. Well, the other side of the pair is grandpa, and I may have to support them backwards because they are strained to clear up last year's outrage, and I don't know what to say, but the other side is not very strong, so grandpa will win easily by himself.

"The question is, are you a team player..."

Opponent of the team finals… it is the Kingsguard led by Mr. Din. Members are not discouraged by five: Mr Din, Mr Jean, Mr Edgar, Mr Sigurd and Mr Chris. I'm a familiar member, but when I decided to compete, it made a scene that I was the best featured team in the tournament right now.

Victims of such a featured team...... especially the opponent team in the qualifying round ended up with no good at all and was so snarky as to say that it was probably traumatized. Well, of all the knights who have weighed in on working with each other from day to day, only the chosen knight can be a Kingsguard, and even more so, he dealt with the top five of them, so he has a semi-productive skill… Especially in a team that has a lot of opportunities to deal with monsters like adventurers, he can't help but finish without being able to do anything.

If you're from "Oracion," I, Grandpa, Amur, Suralin, Shiloumal, and Solomon, the usual members, bumped into "Southern Selection," led by Blanca in the semifinals. Amur took the damage and left en route in the battle with the Blancas, but there were no major injuries, and he is breathing in the final when he makes his worries clear with Mr. Chris. It should be noted that when the beatings between Grandpa and Blanca began during the match, the superiors of the South ran into the oddity of fighting and touring the beatings between the two, but the audience was also thriving on the beatings between the two, so they were not particularly reprehensible.

And when it came to the beating between the two, it was a double knockdown as Grandpa released the counter with a hit on Blanca's right straight. However, unlike my grandfather, Blanca was the leader of the Southern Selection, so it was the defeat of the Blancas.

And an hour and a little later.

"Grandpa, you did a great job"

"Ho ho! I would have liked to be a little more affordable, but that's a pretty funny game. With a little more experience, you'll be the top regular in the pair."

The finalist, ravaged by his grandfather, was a young adventurer and a pair of first-time finalists. The game was our... or Grandpa's overwhelming victory, but Grandpa's ratings were high for the result. In the pair's finals, my avant-garde grandfather fought against them, and I had nothing to do with it. Well, it's also what's just standing around, so whenever the other guard tries to use magic, he does a calm down, and he's going to do a lot of work. Most importantly, for Grandpa, it was almost pointless cover... but Grandpa is satisfied, and I was able to keep my health warm, so I served my purpose well... I should.

"Ladies and gentlemen of 'Oracion', the team finals will begin in an hour, so please be ready by then"

As soon as the attendant left the holding room, we decided to work on the operation. Well, even though we work out an operation, it's an operation where 'oracion' says who does whose opponent... before that,

"The finalists are me, Grandpa, Amur, Shiloumal and Slalin."

"Cui?... Cui!

Solomon said, "If you've been in the game before, why! I made a voice that felt like I said,"

"Simply because Slalin is stronger. When Solomon leaves, Mr. Din will probably be the first to target him"

In previous games, Solomon held control of the airspace was a big advantage, but that was also because his opponents had no skill to defeat Solomon before. But the Kingsguard has Mr. Din who is capable of dropping Solomon in one blow, and while Mr. Din is dropping Solomon, he has as many members with as much power as he can to contain the rest of us. Besides, the individual strengths would be better for us, but we lose a lot in terms of collaboration... there is so much difference in comparison.

The pattern we most likely lose is that Solomon will be dropped and one less person, and I will be surrounded by Mr. Din and Mr. Jean, and then Solomon will be dropped, Amur will be suppressed by Mr. Chris, Grandpa will have Mr. Edgar and Mr. Sigurd around, and Jean will have Shiloumal's opponent. And while I'm working with Mr. Din, someone with no hands...... Chris or Jean, or both, take my back...... but Amur is hard to believe that Shiloumal will be incapable of fighting anyway, so it's more extraordinary and less likely than the best.

However, what we have in common with both is Solomon's shedding, and I think it's quite likely that we'll get there, and that's why we're taking turns. In the first place, Slalin is third in 'Oracion' when viewed militarily, so it was weirder that he hadn't been out this far. Well, it feels like Slalin was listening to Solomon's selfishness.

Solomon complained fairly persistently, but at the end of the day he admitted to being persuaded by Slalin to take turns.

"Next thing you know, who's going to do who..."

"I'm gonna bump Chris!

"Amur is Mr. Chris, isn't he? So, Shiloumal asks for Mr. Jean. Your first priority is not to rendezvous with Mr. Din, and you don't have to force him to attack you. Slalin... aim for Mr. Edgar and, if possible, Mr. Sigurd. Grandpa feels like if Slalin gets one of them, he's the one who's going to go after Mr. Dinn with me if he seems okay... Well, I'm only planning on it, and I can think of Mr. Din and the others reading the operation and coming back, so please be ad hoc then."

We know each other in the palm of our hands and our strengths are top notch, but we work together... especially since we are now the top team in the tournament in interpersonal matches, we are going to put in Slalin to improve our overall strength, and finally in working together, we are going to have selfish facial follow-ups, including me... I'm saying, a little less... nothing more caring than Slalin doesn't exist in 'Oracion', so more talent in the sense of proper materials? Slaughterwood? No.

After discussing some maneuvers, I spent thoughts until the time of the game. And

"Finals," Oracion "vs." Kingsguard "...... Begin!

Early after the game started,

"Ugh!

Amur was blown away. The target is Mr. Din.

Again, this aim has been read and is in the form of a back. But Amur was blown away and damaged, but the direct hit of the attack was critical and prevented, not even incapable of combat. In the meantime, however, Mr. Din and his men took advantage of the situation of numerical advantage and went towards each other.

Mr. Chris told Shiloumal, Mr. Edgar told Grandpa, Mr. Sigurd interrupted to block the front of Slalin, and Mr. Din and Mr. Jean stormed in on me. Perhaps Mr. Din's maneuver was successful (...) at Ko (...) Ma (...). Yes, so far.

"Become! Damn it! Slalin!

Jean, who was coming at me with Mr. Din, nearly fell out of balance just before he got on top speed. Its legs are intertwined with tentacles stretched from slurrin.

"I meant to put my back on it, were they reading it!

Mr. Din says that with pleasure as he waves his sword,

"Unfortunately, I couldn't read it. Instead, it was cold on the back. Everything, thanks to Slalin...... it is!

I met with Mr. Din a few times and forcefully gained distance with a powerful blow...

"That's not what I'm proud of."

Mr. Din put his sword back up as if nothing had happened, looking shy.

"Slalin is my family, so I think you can be proud of him, though!

"That would be...... but! If I leave my family to you, they'll laugh, man!

"To whom, is!

"Your Majesty, and! Master Lyle, and! Dear Luna...!

I was convinced when I heard the three names. And it came to my mind that the three of them were laughing and I felt uncomfortable.

"Then let me ask the Kingsguard captain who loses to me like that to change his role...... hey!

"Sorry, I'll wear it!

In the end, I think I'm going to take a ride with Mr. Din...

"Shit! I knew you couldn't do it!

Mr. Sigurd cut from behind.

I think Mr. Sigurd's opponent was Slalin, and I prevented him. Then I blew Mr. Sigurd off, and I glanced at those with Slalin,

"That's a fucked up way to fight..."

Mr. Jean waved a great sword at his disposal, scattering Slalin's body.

"Away and troublesome, it's a troublesome slurine to approach, but Slime is a demon with extremely low defense. That's not the exception with Slalin."

Mr. Din is right, Slalin has an exceptional defense as a slime, but not enough to withstand Mr. Jean's attack. However,

"Guh!"

"Hmm! Deputy Kingsguard, strike it out!

From behind Mr. Jean, who was relative to Slalin, Amur was attacked.

Jean, too, was about to intercept when he noticed Amur's proximity, but the moment Jean's consciousness turned to Amur for a moment, part of Slalin's scattered body stuck around Jean's leg to seal his movements, and he was almost defenseless and attacked by Amur to lose his mind.

"Did Jean get hit... should we now consider this winner almost gone"

As Din put it, Jean's departure thickened the loss of the Kingsguard.

Amur, who defeated Mr. Jean, was attacked by Chris, who had managed to wield Shiloumal's attack, and Sigurd, who was about to strike me again, was captured by Slalin, who had gathered his scattered body, and Edgar, who was his grandfather's opponent, was held to the ground and unable to move.

"So, Mr. Din, shall we decide in Tyman?

"I didn't mean to settle on a one-on-one basis. That's sweet."

"Fine!

"Hey! That's dangerous, Amur!

"No, if it gets dangerous, maybe we'll take turns with Grandpa, huh?

"Well, that's what team games are supposed to be about. That's what I can't do."

"Ho ho!

"This, boom, round!

"Then when it's dangerous, don't hesitate to put Grandpa and Slalin in"

"Tenma said, 'I can't beat Master Din, so help me! If you're gonna call me that, I'll admit it."

"Hey, hey!

"Oh, too! If you weren't tired of Shiloumal, you could easily avoid such attacks!

"Shut up..."

"Well, we're not the only ones fighting..."

The interaction between Amur and Chris was greatly shredded by the motivation of me and Din, but those two are more right because it's a team fight, and most importantly, the audience is very boiling down to the battle between the two, so I'm not mistaken. What's wrong is me and Din talking about it without caring around in a team game that should be a riot, to Grandpa sitting over Mr. Edgar watching the game, to Slalin, who is still holding Mr. Sigurd and taking Jean's care, and to Shiloumal, who is yawning and falling asleep. It's anomalous that half of them are wrong, but for some reason the audience doesn't even care, and on the contrary, they seem to be thriving, so maybe they're both anomalous and normal.

"Well, I don't care..."

"Secret moves, 'Cat deception'!

"What!" Cat Deception Back "!

"Tenma, don't worry about those guys. I know you're curious, but I think this is part of my training."

I told myself that it was part of my training, as Din said, and I decided to concentrate on one hit, to the two of them who were starting to storm off in many ways, too motivated to be about to lose it.

"Let's go, Tenma!

"Anytime!

Thus began the strike between me and Mr. Din.

Unlike the usual training, there was a unique sense of tension and exhilaration when it came to the final of the tournament, and the battle continued that could lead to an immediate fatal mistake if at all distracted from making moves not shown in normal training. And

"Damn. My loss."

It was slightly different, but I was happy to beat Mr. Din in a swordsmanship battle on mutual terms......

"Come on, Chris!

"Don't get on with it, Amur!

Back there, if it weren't for the two of us still fighting, we would have been able to rejoice from the bottom of our hearts...

"Judge, come here for a second"

The referee nodded lightly as Mr. Din called for the referee to ear. And

"The winner is, 'Oracion'"

He declared the victory of 'Oracion' big enough that the two of us still fighting could not hear him, and showed me by hand.

"Tenma, we're getting out of here so the two of you won't notice."

"Copy that. By the way, what did you just say to the referee?

On the way out of the arena for everyone except Amur and Mr. Chris, I asked Mr. Din what he had snuck up on to the referee.

"Yeah, the referee said, 'Those two still look like they want to fight, so let them do it until they're comfortable. And you don't have to exaggerate the proclamation to stay out of the way."

"I see... Mr. Din, you are so gentle!

"Right."

I understood that it was up to us to leave unnoticed in order not to disturb the two full of spirit of service to the audience.

"You're a livestock. The captain, the temper..."

"I don't know if there's anything wrong with both of us... well, there's no denying that they're animals."

The grandfathers seemed convinced, too, that they followed me and Mr. Din behind without speaking to Amur and Mr. Chris as one person.

"Why did you leave us!

"Ask for an explanation!

Since then, Amur and Chris have been fighting for a while after we left the arena, and they've realized that we're the only ones left once we're apart to reorganize. In the meantime, we were called by the king to explain things, to make fun of ourselves while we had snacks. That's where the two of them came in and stuffed me...

"No, you usually don't have to be told to notice, do you?

in one word the two of them were stuffing the words. In addition,

"When you say team battle in the first place, you have to move assuming it's attacked from outside of the opponent in front of you, so if it was attacked from behind in that state, you'd be dead, right? Amur may end the damage on his own, but in Mr. Chris's case, the worst king is going to be killed, right?

"Nah!

"If that happens, at least you fall into slavery with the title removed, and you suck and you're on death row. Well, I'll get some punishment, too, but I guess it's demotion or prudence."

"Hey! To the captain!"

Mr. Dinn is also making fun of Chris, but what he's saying is quite likely, so Chris couldn't argue even if he knew he was being made fun of. Further there,

"Chris... if you fall into slavery, I'll pick you up in the south. And... I'm gonna use you!

"That's not possible!

Chris denied it with a tremendous sword screen as Amur teased him with an absurd grin...

"No, I guess it's a reasonable place"

Until then, a king listening quietly (laughing) suddenly attached to Amur's side.

"Heh, Your Majesty... that's well, if you fail in your task from personal neglect to put Your Majesty in the perilous eye, you can understand capital crimes and slave falls, but in the case of slave falls, even if it's not at Amur's, Tenma, you know... the..."

Mr. Chris complains about that while looking at me.

"That's never going to happen. It can only be a reward, such as a slave to Tenma. In the first place, it is decided that those who have fallen into slavery for such reasons cannot be made slaves of those close to them. Chris and Tenma know each other. In that regard, the Southern Viscounts, though close to Amur, are far from the King's capital, and considering Chris' previous achievements, can deceive him into entrusting possession to Viscount Hannah, who served as his partner in the Games."

"Damn... dude..."

In the king's explanation, Mr. Chris had a look of despair.

"If you don't like it, you don't make the same mistakes on your original assignment."

"Yes! I will never! Amur's slaves, I absolutely don't like them!

To Mr. Din's warning, Mr. Chris stretched his spine and declared it out loud. Amur, who heard what Chris said, looked very boring, but I don't want to see anyone I know holding someone as a slave, so I'd love to have Chris take care of a lot of things.

Then, after a while, when the award ceremony was ready, we all headed to the venue.

"It looks like Amur and Chris are behind schedule."

"I'm sorry... tell Chris right. As the Lord of slaves!

"I'm not a slave!

Chris, overreacting to Amur's words, yelled...... but

"Chris, be quiet! As a Kingsguard, you're willing to expose yourself to embarrassment!

Mr. Din was angry because the ceremony was close.

"Amur, too, is careful because the joke doesn't go out of style in some cases."

Amur was also noticed by his grandfather, but not as strongly as Mr. Chris.

"More than usual, it was an exciting award ceremony."

"As far as I know, wasn't it the most exciting?

"Thanks to Amur and Chris for that and this."

"Buh!

"No more... don't say..."

Thanks to Amur and Chris fighting to the point of criticism, the audience's fever soon settled before moving on to the awards ceremony, which was an awards ceremony and closing ceremony that showed more excitement than usual. During such an awards ceremony, the audience called out the names of Amur and Mr. Chris, and whenever Amur waved, he was cheering. Meanwhile, Mr. Chris was looking down in embarrassment.

And a week after the tournament, at a royally-sponsored party.

"Mr. Chris... only when the hot season comes, you're not as close as the poor thing"

"Yes, I am."

"Exactly this looks cute...... do you want to go and call it now?

"Blanca, I can't do that. Chris's guy went out early this morning, voluntarily volunteering for a mission outside the King's Capital."

Chris, the Kingsguard, was also allowed to attend a royally-sponsored party, but he refused to participate because he said he was too ashamed to be made fun of about the award ceremony, and further volunteered for the task of temporarily leaving the Wang Capital. However, the other members of the Kingsguard are in, and Mr. Dinn is off today, which means he leaves by the king and eats and drinks with us.

Only then did Mr. Chris,

"Tenma, there was another man who wanted to hear about Chris"

It was highly popular with men. He seems to be the reason why Chris said he was glad he was fighting Amur or that he was glad he was illuminated at the awards ceremony, and he tried to speak to some people during the time leading up to the party, but Chris mistook it for a tease, and he was running away.

"The blind idiots are loud"

While Chris was on the run, Amur looked amused to see how it was going, but the participants in this party were mistaken that Chris was with Amur, who from earlier on spoke out whenever Amur went to pick up food and drinks. It seems that Amur is not amused by a situation where Mr. Chris is hot like that, and he was getting more grumpy every time he was surrounded.

"I'll get it next time. You don't have the guts to surround me."

"Blanca is scared of her face, so if it doesn't work at times like this, there's a place to do it, damn it!

Even though Blanca said she cared until she said something masochistic, Amur had been fist boned in the head in front of the public because she hit some of Blanca's outrage.

"Hmm? It's getting a little noisy?

"I guess Your Majesty is coming...... what's up?... well. That's going to be interesting."

One of the Kingsguards approached me and struck me in the ear. Having heard the report, Mr Dinn is laughing with pleasure.

"Mr. Din, what happened?

"Hmm. I do care. When the Lord laughs like that, it's not like something's going to happen or not."

"Well, I won't deny it...... there must be more to be said than His Majesty. So if I teach first, I think His Majesty will be obstinate."

Grandpa agreed with my question, but Mr. Din didn't tell me because the king was obstinate. Well, when I was told that, I decided to wait for the announcement from the King in a big way, without asking any more because the sight of the King teasing me (and then, until the scene when the King said foolishness and Maria was mad at me) comes to mind easily.

"Everyone seems to be having fun. Now let us join in more than this...... but we have a report before us. This time, reports came in that Dawn Sword, a regular but now non-participating member of the tournament, attacked Seigen's dungeon."

Something about the presence of tournament winners seemed to be a bleak story.
