CH 93.4

Maa, Slayra White Beam is a team that has no foundation as a noble over here so it is basically Laura-san’s one man team, which makes it weak.

Compared to the other teams, which play a wide variety of magic balls, they have too few cards that they can play.

There is also the problem of stamina. Even if Laura-san is able to hold them in check, they still get scored on by normal pitchers.

「Knowing Larua, she probably doing well there but……is she winning?」

「Ah, no……the Slayra White Beam is at the bottom of the league but they are….popular. They even have their own cheering squad.」

「Bottom……? She’s losing?」

That said, brother in law’s face contorted in a rare, truly grim expression. He sucked his cigarette, which was still 70% long, and pushed it into the ashtray.

「That’s……the only strong player in her team is Laura-san……the other teams are full of noble soldiers so……」

「I don’t need excuses. What other teams are there?」

「In the league where the Slayra is playing, there is the Snore Family team, the Magic Academy Team, Zarkudo…..」

「Did I just hear Zarkudo! The navy’s zarkudo style?」

「y-yeah……they’re a team of swordsman so they have a lot of able bodied players…..」

I think this might be the first time I’ve seen this guy raise his voice.

Brother in law stares at me with a terrifying look in his eyes and I continue to make excuses in a clumsy manner while being completely intimidated.

It can’t be helped. It’s a sport so there are winners and losers……

「Zarkudo style……even in this place.」

His eyes twisted in grimace as he scratched his chin with the thumb of his right hand.

They said good looking men are still good looking when they are angry but they are definitely scarier than normal people when they are angry.

I looked up at the sky, trying to think of an excuse and then, bam! I heard a loud sound from brother in law’s seat.

I jumped up 5cm from my chair and looked over to see that the armrest of the chair he was sitting on had been snapped off and the piece of wood connected to the chair was just barely hanging on to the armrest, swinging in the air.

That’s scary, I thought I was going to die when I heard a loud noise.

The nobles around us seemed to be looking at us to see what’s going on. I had to get brother in law calm down somehow…..

「That’s…..brother in law, please calm down, there are a lot of people watching us…..」

「I am calm.」

You’re not.

「I don’t like it.」

「Eh……?」

「I’m saying that I don’t like the idea of a team that has Slayra in it being defeated by the navy, by the zarkudo style.」

I don’t know what to say……

I think he must have had something to do with the zarkudo style in the royal capital but that’s a story about the Slayra in the royal capital and the zarkudo style in the royal capital, not here……

That’s what I think but I won’t ever say it.

「Sawadi」

「Ah, yes!」

After calling out my name, brother-in-law lit a new cigarette and sucked smoke from it.

Then, without turning around, he slowly exhaled it and quietly continued his words.

「I’ll lend you my men, win.」

「Eh? What men……」

「I have men in Torquiva who are working as liaison officers. I’ll put them in the team. Do whatever it takes to win against the Zarkudo style.」

「A-are you serious……?」

「Be sure to tell Laura later.」

When he said “Tell Laura later”, he stared at me with the same lapis lazuli eyes as Laura’s. That made me swallow hard.

I swallowed hard but my throat was still dry.

「Just think of it as a war effort. A baseball warfare between……the Slayra and the zarkudo style.」

It’s summer but I can’t stop breaking out in cold sweat.

I feel like something similar happened to me just the other day but I can’t recall it.

Because at this moment, my consciousness was  hit by brother in law’s spirit and blasted off into outer space.
