250 Chapter 17-9 Stealing

"Looks like we've got the best number of people we've ever had in this personal fight."

Not only individual matches, but also pairs and teams.

Rumor has it that I only compete in individual fights, so the number of pairs and team fights has increased by about 20% compared to last year.Not only that, but the Treasury Board... was delighted because the number of individual fights was expected to increase as much or decrease as last year.

"But in that case, it won't be easy for Amur to compete in the qualifiers."

Last year Amur missed out on seed rights one step further and is still in the qualifiers this year.By the way, Blanca's the only one who has seed rights this year but me.Last year, Jin didn't participate because he was dedicated to the dungeon, and Din dropped off a personal match in relation to his work, so he didn't have two strong enemies.

"Amur was complaining about the number of participants this year."

Actually, I beat Amur at last year's tournament.Amur and I got caught up in three rounds because we were close.With the exception of Blanca and me, there were no other players who could defeat Amur, so Amur, who saw his draw, said, "I missed a half!"and mourned.

That's why Amur has been training so hard lately.In tandem with that, Jeanne and Aura are also participating in the training, sweating and tearing under Eina's guidance.

"Will Din not participate in the personal game again this year?

"Mr. Ding dropped him off because Mr. Jean would be joining us."

Originally, it seemed that Ding intended to compete in a personal match, but he had to decline because Jean signed up for the tournament before telling him.The King said that he could entrust other guards to take part in team fights, as he had done with the Guards before, but he was careful to take part in the guard because more people were expected this year than usual.

"But this year we're going to have a big boost from the qualifiers.Amur, Jin, Galat, and Jean, the vice commander of the Guard, who has made his name in the last few years... it's unfortunate to be on the same team as them. "

Amur was a semi-winner at the time of Bandit King, and has since entered the battle in succession.Gin and Garrat have also competed in the battle in succession, except in the year of non-participation, and have won multiple prizes for Gin.Mr. Jean is number two of the Guards gathered from the Knights of the Kingdom.Besides, I have been in second place in team matches, so it is not a level that I would normally lose in the qualifiers.Grandpa is right, it would be unfortunate to be in the same group as one of them.Well, like the words "the pile that comes out is struck," even if you're weak, you don't always win.

Just around the corner where Grandpa and I are talking.

"Don't die! Chris! Chris!

"Hey, Amur! You, this is training!We're not killing each other!

"That's right! No matter how powerful Chris is, he is no match for the Wesen Amur!Shake it smaller and make sure it's done!Aura! Just because I let go, I can't lose my temper!

"Eina and I will have the same strength!

"Oneechan, you have eyes behind you!

Amur trained Chris in combat mode, and sometimes Aina advised him and tried a lot.Jeanne and Aura were practicing basics and mock games under Eina's guidance, and now they're pretending.In the meantime, Aura stopped pretending and turned her shoulders in the gap that Eina opened her eyes for advice.I think you can forgive me for that, but I pretended not to look at it because I was afraid to say it badly.Grandpa, too.

"Mr. Tenma! Turn around Amur!

Chris came in to help me as I tried not to look at Eina and the others so Aura wouldn't ask for help.However,

"I can't do that! You may win the tournament, but you won't reveal it!

That said, I was trying not to miss Chris.

"I'm training right in front of you, and there's nothing to hide from you!Watch out! "

"Smaller, sharper!

"Aina, stop what you're doing!

"I showed you the gap, Chris. I'm sorry!

It was a sight that could be taken as bullying, but I ignored it as it is not particularly unusual here recently.Well, if it gets really dangerous, Amur and Eina will stop.

Thinking about that,

"Jeanne, it looks like someone's here. Go and see what happens."

The Golem at the gate was reacting, so I decided to ask Jeanne to check on it.Then,

"Tenma, a letter from Hannah."

"To me? Not Amur?

I received a letter from Jeanne confirming the sender's name and address, and it was definitely a letter to me.The contents are.....

"This is going to be a big deal."

I was proud to participate in a number of tournaments, including the top southern players.Why did you give me that information instead of Amur?

"Don't tell Amur until it's too much fun."

"What do you mean... you're the mother of Amur Stream?"

Everything was aggregated in one word because it seemed interesting.Incidentally, Hannah said that she would leave a message this time, and instead, Robot Honorary Count would join the fight.

"As usual, Blanca seems to be bringing Sana and Yoshitsune, so should we get extra rooms?

You wouldn't want to host other southern participants in the boulders, but Blanca always stays and, above all, Amur.Well, that's where we need to hear Amur's opinion... and Hannah will feel like keeping it a secret, so in the worst case scenario, they'll be using the cabin where the Knights of the Guard are in the waiting room.It's outside, but it's summer, and I'm sure it's not a problem because I'm used to it in the south.

"Jeanne, it's time to go back to training."

Jeanne was called back to training because it was too long.While Jeanne was gone, Eina looked at Aura intensively, and Aura pretended to be a hero.

"Mr. Tenma! Please really change!Seriously, it's dangerous!

Chris is Chris, and Amur is in trouble.Thank you. Recently, I've been losing strength due to the increase in deskwork, and even fewer holidays have kept me from getting tired.

"Phew... that was a nice sandbag."

Amur, who bothered Chris, who was not perfect, finished his training and went to the bath.Drag Chris, who is stuck in a battle.

"That's enough for today.Take a bath and sweat your clothes.Let's get out of the bath and take a break. "

Aina says, "Combat training is also part of the maid's job." Because she is tired from training, it doesn't mean that her usual job is less.Well, Eina seems a bit cumbersome... but since it's really "a little", many people don't notice it either.

"Speaking of which, is Grandpa going to this year's tournament?

"I'm not going to participate... but I don't know what's going to happen yet.Well, I don't intend to fight individually.I have to let the tempura have flowers. "

and so on.Half is true and half is a lie when it comes to personal combat.As for the pair and team, it seemed like it was a decision but not a decision, so it seems that it has not yet been decided.

"Well, I don't feel that way, but the temper... is the marriage ready?

I thought I was going to talk about the tournament, but I had a little time to respond.

"Maybe you're ready to have a family?Then you should talk to Alex and Mark.Ah, they'll tell you all the secrets to a happy couple. "

"We have something in common, my wife... laying it on her butt... um, respecting your wife's opinion, right?

I see. It's where my wife's ass is laid at home.Those two will talk to me from a different angle than the couple I think they are.Well, not necessarily for your own good. "

Grandpa blurred the thought that Maria and Aunt Martha might say bad things, and said straight away.However, in the case of Grandpa, rather than saying bad things about Maria and Aunt Martha, I feel like I'm making a fool of the King and Uncle Mark... but I'm a little scared that if someone else asks me this, I'll be guilty too.

"As for the two of them, the preparation itself is going well... or if you talk about them, grandpa will appear from somewhere and be present, so you know the basics, right?

When he talks about the day and place of the wedding with Primera, the flow and the invitees, Grandpa shows up and speaks from nowhere.Jeanne and Amur may also participate in the discussion, but grandpa is a lot of them, so he should know most of them.

"Well, it is now settled that the wedding will be rented at the Duke of Sanga's residence, and the second party will be a house of lions.The approximate rating of prospective guests and how does it feel to have some food?

Combining me and Primera's associates makes it difficult to create a venue on the Ootori family's premises.Therefore, the wedding was to be held at the Duke's house, and the second party inviting the close ones was to be held at the Otori house.

Nobles are involved in the rating of participants, and above all, the royal family will attend in total (King, Maria, Teeda, Luna, Ernesto on my side, Caesar, Isabella, Zain, Mizaria, and Lyle on Primera's side), so we must definitely decide on security and other matters.

Cooking... I was talking with a sense of breathlessness during such troublesome stories as ratings.By the way, this discussion was the most exciting.

"Cooking... this is the first time in the kingdom's history that a white buffalo, a wyburn, and bicorn meat are used by civilians at weddings."

A nobleman might have been able to gather it, but a civilian would not be able to do it first.However, since the meat of white buffalo and bicorn is considerably smaller, it may only be served to guests of higher aristocracy, such as kings, depending on the number of people. However, when I asked the Duke of Sanga, I was told that it is sometimes the case with ultra-luxury ingredients.Well, in the case of the Duke of Sanga, he didn't seem to think that there was no dish for white buffalo and bicorn, and he wanted only the upper aristocracy to increase the amount per capita.

By the way, when I told Primera about it, she laughed, "Your father is a family member, so you might want to leave it behind."I haven't told the Duke of Sanga about this yet, so it might be a surprise for the day.

"There are other ingredients that I would like to consume."

With Wyburn at the forefront, I'm thinking of using the gun on this occasion.

"Sometimes the criteria seem strange, but if Tempa and Primera are good, then that's right.Just don't let Roast Wyburn in!

"I make a lot of them because they're good to receive and I can bring them to the main."

With a magic bag, mass production is possible when there is free time, so I have started making food that I think will definitely be replaced... At my wedding, I wonder why I cook, but I am the most free person to cook, and I think that will be the topic.

"I just have a little problem... with the cooking that I should have made and put in my magic bag, and somehow there are fewer dishes.Isn't that strange, Grandpa?

"That's not strange.Well, that reminds me of something I have to do!

I thought the killer was a grandfather, but I saw his back running away like that.

"Dear Tempura, may I have a moment?

Grandpa wasn't the only one who did it, so I was thinking about how to pursue it, and Eina, who thought she had gone to the bath, talked to me.

"It's about the wedding, but Maria-san asked me what my friends would do."

"Then I'm asking the Count and Countess of Sylfild.It has a connection to both me and Primera, and I'd like you to be familiar. "

I am related to Amy, and Primera is a relationship in the form of my daughter's daughter-in-law's sister, so it is a good distance without being too close and not too far away. Primera is from the Duke even though she will be a civilian, so I can't dress up as a Duke unless she has some degree of family status.That's why I asked Eliza to do it, and she was happy to take it on.

"Certainly, Count Silfield, I think there's nothing wrong.Then I will tell Maria-sama that way. "

If it wasn't decided, I might have introduced it to Maria or I would have taken it up with Maria and the King, but it seemed like a lot of problems would arise, so I think it would be really good if Count Silfild could take it up.

Well then, I'll take a bath, too.

While thinking that Maria-sama would be convinced that Eina was convinced, she went to the dining room wondering if she would prepare something to pick lightly while taking a bath.Also, when I tried wearing a sickle with the dish I had put in my magic bag in Aura while eating light snacks on the way out of the bath... it was discovered that Amur, Chris and Luna were also snacking at the potato potato ceremony.

"Aura and Amur will punish me, Chris will leave it to Din, and Luna will ask Maria."

It was said that each person in charge was decided immediately.Aura and Amur looked disgusted, but didn't complain, as they decided to avoid getting punished in vain resistance.Chris also seems to have decided that Din is better than Maria-san... Eina feels that Din will report to her because she is Chris's boss, so I think she may be sent to Maria-san later.Luna... will be angry not only with Maria, but also with Isabella.

And the punishment by the featured Eina,

"Just the two of you, let's get the whole house cleaned up in a week.In addition to that, Amur will also work as a maid during that time. "

It was called. With this alone, Amur was a little more punished, so Aura was forced to teach Amur.This balances Amur's unprecedented maid work with Aura's unprecedented mentoring.whereby

"Hey, Tenma. My job is gone....."

When Jeanne joined, she would help them with their work while they were being flushed, so they took a maid's day off while they were being punished.Although I gave her permission, Aina seemed to have other ideas, and it almost seemed like she was approaching an ex post facto approval.

"Well, I suppose you can do whatever you want... but suddenly you'll have to take a holiday..."

"That said, while Jeanne is in the Mansion, Aura and Amur will make Jeanne work for you as much as Tenma.Jeanne's job is to serve the two of us. "

I was more surprised than Jeanne and I were by what they said, not only about me and Jeanne, but also about the parties, Amur and Aura.When I asked Eina why she said that,

"When Tenma and Primera marry, they must serve Primera in the same way as Tenma.It's a prep exercise at that time. "

and replied. Then Aura said it was strange that Jeanne would not participate, and Amur said it had nothing to do with her (since Primera would become a civilian when she married me, she should not have to worry about herself as a Vicomte).However,

"I think Jeanne's attitude toward the people above her is fine, but Aura is a little... no, I'm quite worried.Regarding Amur, no matter how much Primera's identity becomes a civilian, she becomes the wife of the person she lives in.Besides, there is always a scene where you have to put forward the position of ex-commissioned lady of the Duke's house in an official setting.It's not a waste to practice with someone who can fail. "

It was also said that this was part of the punishment, and the two could not object further.Well, both of you, rather than temporarily wanting to serve Jeanne, felt that you didn't want to have any more work, so you reflexively put it into words.Well, Eina would know that for sure, so I'm worried that their objection might be vicious.

"Now that the punishment begins tomorrow, start your work for today.Chris will come back with me.Now, if you'll excuse me. "

"Huh? Can't I start tomorrow, too?At least let's take it slow for today... huh?Nhhhh! "

Chris, who tried to resist in the past, was dragged away from the house without asking questions.Aina tied her arms and legs with a string so she couldn't resist, but she was tired from training with Amur, so she probably didn't need a string.

And the next day, I heard from Aina, who came to give Amur and Aura instructions, that Chris had been taken to Maria after Ding and Jean had squeezed him out.After Isabella scolded Luna at first, she and Chris received Maria-sama's sermon.
