“I won’t lose in terms of acceleration! It seems like I’m surpassing the speed too!”
“Tsk, it’s a simple magic, but the acceleration is indeed unbelievable!”
With a look of astonishment on Elizabeth’s face, Mii-chan zoomed past her with super acceleration. She smirked, lifted her hair casually, and spoke with a cynical smile.
The finish line was right ahead. From the stands, the crowd cheered them on. I could see spectators cheering, and an overweight guy who had probably drunk too much beer was sleeping.
“Go for it, Mii-sama!”
“Just a bit more, Em-chan.”
“Elizabeth, give it one last push!”
“Show some spirit, Elizabeth-san!”
The excitement spread as everyone watched Mii-chan and Elizabeth.
Mii-chan opened her mouth wide and let out a roar.
Ahead, there was a rocky area protruding from the water’s surface.
Elegantly maneuvering through it would lead them to the finish line!
“My WIN! Aiyah, ow!”
With elegance, I collided with the rocky hill, bouncing like a pinball, making victorious sounds, and sped forward, spinning around and charging towards the finish line tape.
“Whoaah~...”
Mii-chan spun her eyes around, then spun her body around and crashed into a wall.
Maneuvering during the super acceleration was difficult. I had completely forgotten its weakness: it could only be used in straight lines.
“............”
The audience gaped in disbelief at Mii-chan’s dramatic finish.
Well, it was a deep misty dungeon after all. Even me causing a commotion at the center probably went unnoticed. They were intentionally excluding people.
“Heh~... The final push... It was reckless, but I lost. It’s my defeat.”
Sighing as if she was giving up on something, Elizabeth stepped down from her float board and extended her hand, which I shook firmly.
“It was a good match, Elizabeth-chan.”
“Well, let’s go with that. I thought I couldn’t lose in the Free Class... I was a bit overconfident.”
Running her fingers through her blonde hair, Elizabeth returned the handshake with a tsundere expression.
“From now on, things might get tough, but if you ever need me, I’ll be there to help, Elizabeth-chan.”
“I’ll decline for now. I feel uneasy. I’ll be busy with the inheritance and such after this, so we probably won’t see each other for a while.”
Well, her father had been killed, after all. Even though she appears calm, Elizabeth does possess a strong spirit. Quite impressive.
“Alright then, take care of the rewards for winning.”
“Yes, given the situation, everything should go smoothly. ...Well then, let’s meet again sometime, Takano Miu.”
With a confident smile and a small nod, Elizabeth turned around and left with an air of composure and elegance.
Her departing figure exuded the grace and beauty befitting of a noble.
“Elizabeth-chan, make sure your coat doesn’t flip up!”
“Eek! I completely forgot I-I’ll change right away!”
Seemingly remembering that despite her long coat, she was naked underneath, Elizabeth held down her hem and ran off with a bright red face.
Watching Elizabeth leave, Mii-chan exhaled softly.
Today’s events provided a lot to think about. The Golden Thread is particularly intriguing. But I won’t be able to enter that world for a while. What a pity
“I guess I’ll head home too. The hamburgers are waiting.”
As Yamiyo and the others gathered around, Mii-chan waved and smiled brightly. The Golden Thread was delicious, but still, nothing beats mama’s homemade hamburgers.
“Hey, Daddy~, I got Puess 5 from the raffle. They said I’d get a prize if I bought a bunch of tickets. Even though there were no winning tickets, I didn’t quite get why.”
Shaking an empty wallet and cradling a handheld game console, the little girl reported her results to a tipsy middle-aged man with a smile. It’s a typical scene you’d find at a festival.
And there’s no doubt Sakuma won’t be invited as a guest again.
