EP. 55 -The butler threatens
Time flows, the day of the magical tournament.
There is a arena that will be the venue for today's tournament, so that it is adjacent to the chalk castle rising in the center of the royal capital.
The arena, which is usually used in the training of the Knights, has now shown a chaotic appearance of many people, regardless of the noble, to watch the audience.
Apart from such a seat for the general public, a guest seat is allowed to enter only some advanced aristocrats in the upper layer of the arena.
A man who brought a servant appeared there.
“Huh, isn't the Azurite daughter coming?”
Gulius Variers.
He is the head of the Variers of the Three Great Duke and notices that there is no way to look inside the room.
Two of the four chairs prepared in the room are open.
One is the Garius that came now, but there is no girl to sit in another seat.
“There are signs of flooding in the Magic Forest, and she is currently being dealt with.”
A man sits on a chair while floating on the top of the Buddha.
Duke of Marvin Cherald.
He is a man who is a coordinator of each cumbersome, while assisting the king, while assisting the king.
He still has the most problematic Gulius, who is still the most problematic in the kingdom, and his eyes behind his glasses are nervous.
“That's a hard time, but it's a bit of a problem that Azurite's head does not look at the shaking sword?”
The three Great Duke has been given important roles in the kingdom since its founding.
The Sherald family should be the brain of this country as the Prime Minister.
The Variers manages finance and enriching this country.
And the role given to the Azurite family is the sword.
Destroy all kinds of obstacles that lead the Kingdom Knights and protect the country.
For the Azurite family, this magic tournament, which is held to determine promising knights and magicians, is the most important thing.
“…What do you want to say?”
“No, I thought that if it was the predecessor, I would have come to this place without any problems of the monster.
However, the previous daughter, Azurito, who had served as the Kingdom Knights in the war with the empire, died all at once, and the only daughter who is currently summarizing the Azurite family is the only daughter.
Because the name of the name was excellent, there is a great expectation for her.
For a young and immature girlfriend, the duty of the kingdom's sword, the Duke of Azurite, will be strict.
“She should have played her own role!”
A red -haired man, who had been behind Garius, raises his voice in the words that include a clear ridicule.
Count Gunter Russell.
He is a hero of the kingdom who played an active part in the previous war, and is the current King of Knights.
Originally a knight who served the Azurite family, he is now a guardian of the young Azurite.
Furthermore, his son and Princess Azlite are engaged, and it is this man who controls the substantial Azlite family instead of the current immature head.
“Is that really the case? The Director of the Director did not forget the kidnapping case of the other day. Is it a proof that the kingdom's swords did not play their own role?”
Gulius brings out the recent kidnapping case and pursues further pursuit, while laughing in the heart of the desired person.
The incident is supposed to be the work of a criminal group coming from abroad, and the responsibilities are directed to the Kingdom Kingdom, which allowed such a group to invade the country.
Given that it is the role of the Azurite family head to lead the Kingdom Knights, this is the result of her negligence.
“That's what you've done, but a white imitation…!”
That said, Gunter cannot admit that claim to protect the young Azurite.
And there are a number of unnatural points in that case.
There are some evidence that somebody intervention has been found, and it is certain that the man in front of you is black in a situation or motivation.
“Hey, stop the claim. Where is the evidence?”
“Ku…”
“I knew that such rumors were whispering among some fools, but it's sad that even you believe in such delusions.”
But, as Garius says, there is no evidence to show the connection with him.
The unnatural evidence of thoroughly erased is probably due to the spy unit of the Variers family.
Garius is laughing at this because he is absolutely confident in his work of his subordinates and knows that he can't grab his tail.
“Speaking of rumors, there is also a rumor that the leader of the Director has killed the predecessor Azurito in the first battle.”
“You!?”
Even if he knows it is a provocation, Gunter rises his head, and killing leaks from his body.
It is true that in the previous war, he could not protect his predecessor Azurite.
It was suddenly divided into a flock of monsters that appeared, and it was already too late when I rushed.
Although he has been played with a hero, he just desperately summarizes his shredded ally.
But that's an inconvenient insult to say that it intentionally killed the Duke to take over.
“I see, if that was true, I would be convinced that I would believe in the rumor. I did it, I wonder if I thought it wasn't strange?”
“If you insult more than that, no matter how much you are, I will not forgive you.”
“Huh… What would you do, would you like a professor by all means?”
“…”
Gunter, whose eyes sharpened his eyes, dropped his hips deeply and set up a huge shield, a symbol of his hero, on the front.
Some Garius smiles at the same time. The wand in your hand is opposed with magical power.
Gulius, the head of the Duke, is a considerable powerful person, not only Gunter, who leads the Kingdom Knights.
As the magic of both sides is enhanced, the air that is gradually filled with the surroundings.
Now that they do not move with each other's gaps, it was clear to everyone that this place became a battlefield in one reason.
“That's it”
A man who had been quietly stood up from the chair, as if he had defeated the situation of such a quick touch.
With a treasure canal in his hand, the blonde of the blonde wearing a bright crimson cloak is looking at two people who confront them with dignity that cannot be hidden in their blue eyes.
There is only one person in the world, including a crown with six magic stones in which each attribute symbolizes each attribute.
Jergen Farant.
He was the king of the world's largest nation, the Farandand Kingdom.
“The leader, there's something I think, but now it's a sunny stage for young people who will lead the future of this country.”
“If His Majesty is told…”
He is ordered by the king and drops his shield with the Knight's director suppressing the killing that had been released before.
However, his eyes are still glaring at the man in front of him, and in response to it, Garius is smiling as if he was provoking.
“Before the Variers also put the cane. It is not the place you want to compete here.”
“I just responded to protect myself, and my Majesty should hold the man's reins there.”
“… Let's keep in mind”
At last, Garius was finally scattered the magic of the cane, but there was no fragment of respect for the king.
And His Majesty thought his attitude, but did not blame.
Jergen has achieved the historical feat of peace with the empty empire, and is a man who is called the King of the Was from the public.
Even if he has him, he can not stop the Variers family, which has long been behind the history of the kingdom, and has now left the royal family and has become the substantial ruler of the kingdom.
To the operation of the kingdom, which is a great country, they cannot eliminate them, and the king has no choice but to move the country with great distortion.
“Huh…”
The riot subsides and the king will return to the original place as Garius gets in his seat.
But the atmosphere inside the guest room is no longer the worst.
In the heavy air flowing indoors, the minister, who is the only neutral position, sighs.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
“I'm finally here, this day!”
Looking at the venue, the venue, a young lady in uniform, was standing in Nings.
A young lady who is fighting for the championship, but the place where we are now is in the middle of the main street leading to the arena.
There are a lot of spectators coming around to watch the tournament, and the young lady who makes a noise is nothing but a hindrance.
“The young lady, let's head to the venue for the time being without standing in such a place.”
“No… I can't help it. Look, escort properly.”
“I got it”
There is no one who complains to the young lady who can see the nobles, but it cannot be stayed here forever.
When the young lady nodded to my proposal, she reaches out here.
When I gave a thank -me and picked it up, I held my hands firmly and went to the arena as I led the crowd and headed for the arena.
“Please take a look at my splendid success!”
“Well, I look forward to your success.”
We enter the arena and we will be once separated in front of the section where only school officials enter.
I tend to forget, but I'm just an outsider who is not a student at the school.
At the school, I was able to stay on the side by pushing the power of the young lady, but it is not so outside the school.
However, it is a story when entering by a regular means, and there are many ways to enter unless you ask the means.
In fact, as a support of a young lady, the maid under distribution is dive into the venue.
There would be no problem if they were.
“Well, will I work too?”
When I looked off the back of the young lady leaving the passage, I turned my heel and headed for the audience.
Here, let's touch on this magic tournament lightly.
The magic tournament is a one -on -one win in the tournament system.
You can use weapons as well as magic, and you will win if your opponent surrenders or you become incapable of fighting.
Naturally, the young lady is the championship, so it is necessary to win all the tournaments, but as the game is repeated, the opponent who fights naturally becomes stronger.
Despite the break time before the next match, the lost physical strength and magic will not recover so easily.
In other words, in order to win this tournament, the key to the next game is to leave the capacity.
But the problem here is that this tournament is also a place for students' appeal.
Unlike a young lady, most of the students who have only a decent ability do not aim for the championship and are not particular about winning that much.
Their purpose is to show their own abilities, and the win or loss of the game is irrelevant.
Of course, if you win, you will get a better evaluation, but if you leave without showing your abilities, there is no source or child.
So they basically challenge every game with all their might.
If you hit them with them, you will inevitably struggle when fighting while preserving your power to the opponent who gives your best.
However, if you use too much power to defeat your opponent, it will affect the next game.
──What should I do?
“The winner, Isabella Variers!”
Immediately after the start of the match, the young lady's wind magic blew off the other student from the stage, and the victory was decided in an instant.
“Fufun… There is no such thing as this much.”
While the audience springs up with the overwhelming strength, the young lady who grinded her hair grilled her hair when she was in the audience seat, waving her hand and smiled.
When I look back, the young lady nodded and returns to the waiting room.
On the other hand, I go out of the venue once for a certain purpose.
“Yeah… I let you wait.”
If you are killing time at a coffee shop near the arena, a dull face will appear in front of you for a while.
The identity of the man was the opponent who had been fighting the young lady until recently.
“I moved as I was told.
“Well, this is what you promised.”
After arriving at the same table, the man immediately demanded a reward.
After all, I am impressed that the dregs are far from the young lady, and that they can be so greedy.
However, the contract is a contract.
When I push the bag I had at my feet to the other party with my toes, the man rushed to check the contents.
“Thank you, this can cure my mother's illness.”
“You don't have to be thankful. This is a contract.”
Perhaps he was able to confirm the contents, and the man gave a gratitude as if the shoulder was descended.
The gold coins in their bags are not a big deal for the young lady, but they are probably a lot of money for lower aristocrats like him.
That's why this contract is upright.
Yes, this is just a contract.
It was just that he put his hands on the opponent fighting the young lady on purpose, and instead gave him what he wanted.
A lower noble like them will participate in this magical tournament because they are hired by leading aristocrats with their skills in the tournament.
And using the power of the Duke, as the man in front of you sought, it is possible to introduce not only a large amount of money, but also to each noble family, and one or two people in the Kingdom Knights.
In other words, if you give them what they want, they will be happy to win the young lady.
Sneak? No, this is a fine tactics.
It is natural to use anything that can be used for victory.
“And this is useless, please use it.”
“I know it”
“Well, who is the next partner…”
I stand up as my opponent stands and returns to the arena.
He went to negotiate under his opponent in the next game.
After that, the young lady steadily wins to win while preserving his power, despite the steady negotiations.
It happened at the beginning of the arrow that seemed to continue.
“I refuse”
The tournament was also good, and there were only a few remaining players, and as before, the negotiations of the next young lady's opponent were refused.
“Did you like the conditions you presented? Or do you want another one?”
“I don't need any of them. I just want to try my own skills at this tournament, and I hate the cowardly guys like you.”
The male student, the legitimate son of a certain Earl, glares at this with a look.
Certainly, his house is a family known as a fighter, and he probably wants to be a sneaky imitation that polluts sacred games.
It's a very intelligent idiot that seems to be an idiot.
“I see, let's go against the Duke.”
“Hmm…”
Finally, he warns, but unfortunately he did not.
“I can't help it, let's draw this place once. I'll come again, so I'm hoping to hear a good reply next time.”
“No matter how many times I come, my answer will not change.”
“Is that so”
The further negotiations are judged to be useless, and they are forced to withdraw.
In the first place, there was no problem because I was able to predict that not all of them would follow me quietly.
Even though it is a noble child, it will be a child after all, and it is an accident to say a fool who is not aware of his position.
“… Negotiation is a failure. The rest is right.”
“I got it”
Divided with a man and turned the corner, I erased the negotiations that had been floating.
When a crystal ball for communication is taken out of the bracelet, one command is made under the distribution.
Do you have to discipline kedamono, who can't even understand his position satisfactorily?
“Did you come again?”
“Well, did you reconsider from that?”
“No matter how many times you are asked, the answer will not change. If you understand, go home quickly.”
After a while, head below the man.
The man distorted his face to my appearance again and waved his hand to get rid of it.
“If you say so much, you can't help it, let's give up. But there is something I want you to see at the end, so can you see it?”
“Hmm, my intentions will not change no matter what I can show.”
“…Is it right?”
“What…?”
Despite the man with a suspicious expression, it is a crystal ball for communications.
When it is presented in front of a man, some sights gradually appear in the crystal.
“Hey…! Hey, this is one!?”
As the image is projected on the crystal ball, the face of a man who was full of confidence gradually faded.
In the crystal ball, a girl who was detained with a back in a chair in a dim room was reflected.
Probably a daughter somewhere.
She wears a neat dress tailored by a top craftsman and distorts her well -organized face.
“Oh, don't you know?”
“So why my sister is being caught in such a place!”
“Hey, is this child your sister? It's cute.”
“You! Leave it now!”
My body floats in the air, grabbing the chest by a super high man.
A man who is glaring only at shooting and killing it, but he seems to be more pathetic during this period.
“Yeah”
“Kyu! ]
If I ordered a word, I pierced the girl's thighs that were caught by the water spear released from outside the screen.
The girl falls to the ground with a chair with a screaming shell, and blood spreads on the floor from a hole in the thigh.
“Hey, oh…!”
“Isn't it useless, how much the royal capital is good to have a cute sister out alone, but has just been abducted before?”
In the sudden evil, the man loses words while staring at the crystal.
If you hit the hand grabbing the chest, your body will be released to understand your position.
This is a problem for those with stupid power.
I guess the clothes have been wrinkled thanks to this.
“This, do you think you can do this!”
Where the power was going earlier, the man has shrunk his trained body as if he was blaming.
“What is it? It's a shame that your sister has been kidnapped, but that's what the sneaky criminal did. We have nothing to do with me.”
“Gh, is it!”
But that's not what I knew.
This is an unfortunate incident kidnapped by the Criminal of the Royal Corporation, and the Variers, including me, has nothing to do with me.
Whether it was his empty brain, he could understand correctly, and the man looked at me with the devil's eyes.
“Okay, drink your conditions! So your sister will release it.”
Eventually, a man who understands that he is clogged will hang down on the spot.
I promised to swallow this contract, and my purpose was achieved.
“What are you talking about?”
──Isn't there that?
“Teeth…?”
“As you said earlier, we have nothing to do with this matter. There is nothing we can do even if we are told to release it.”
“Such!?”
The man who misunderstands that his sister will be saved collapses on the spot and looks at me with a stunning expression.
Why do I need to forgive the fools who are against the young lady for free?
“But I'm not enough to abandon her in this situation. That's right, let's lend you the rescue unit of the Garian family to you. What are the best? They will be released soon.”
In fact, it is only necessary to order the maid who is monitoring her without doing that, but this man must pay higher.
“But you bother to move the duke's strength for you. How much will you understand?”
“Devil…!”
You will be lent to the power of the Duke, and of course you will need an price.
The man who understands it swears me with a voice that squeezes out, but nothing is as comfortable as the loser.
It is a contract that was pushed in a half -selling sale, but if you refuse, the man's sister will only die.
There is no choice from the beginning.
“What do you do?”
While looking into the face of the opponent with the expression of despair, I smiled with a smile.
