Chapter 81 – Funny Show of Circus (2)
─Swipe, swish!
The clown girl pulled out the knife hanging from her leg and threw it into the sky. So sharp is the blade that it sparkles in the light of a torch.
Closing her eyes on her elephant’s trunk, the clown girl smiled and took the knife and juggled with her. What would you do if your finger was cut by a sharp blade? All I saw was creepy.
“Lalilura!! Lalilura!! Laliluraaaaah!!!!!!”
Ajae, who seemed to be a big fan of the clown girl, tugged at her chin and yelled at her until she was out of breath. I’m sorry. Keep your chest tight.
‘By the way, is his name Lalilura?’
How can a person’s name be ranranrurillura? Is it a nickname?
─Fangrrrr! Swish swish!
The clown girl, as individual as her name, continued to juggle her knives as she continued to sway on her elephant trunk like a cobra dance. Frank seemed to be nervous, so he tightened the leg wrapped around my neck.
Normally, I would have focused on that softness, but now my eyes are fixed on her performance on stage.
An art created by a person from another world who polished their physical abilities to the limit!
It was dazzlingly impressive to me, who made my sword bloody and nailed it like a beast every time I fought.
‘I’m not using mana.’
There was no magic or other aid to that acrobatics. It doesn’t seem to be raising the mana in the body.
Are you saying that he is able to juggle such dangerous balance and dangerous things simply with his own dexterity?
If you ask me, I can imitate something similar to that. If you turn on Beast Return and apply all kinds of buffs, your reflexes will also increase.
‘But that’s not enough.’
The difference between ON and OFF of a skill raised by magic is large.
Seeing the clown girl’s acrobatics made me reflect on my fighting style. How is it different from elementary school students who only fight with Nigawa in a fighting game by relying on the strength strengthened by Beast Return?
The higher the physical ability, the better. So, I train regularly. As long as you work as an adventurer and fight monsters, it will grow on its own.
But have I ever challenged the limits of my body other than physical strength?
No, I don’t think there was.
It was only yesterday that I felt the lack of weapon skills in the ruins, but when I came to my senses, I had adapted to the combat method of pushing back with beast reversion and magic suckers.
My overall ability improved, but I still lacked the skills to handle my body.
Even if you’re a third-class adventurer who can end it with a bang.
For me, who plans to go silver, gold, and beyond, this was a huge fucking weakness.
‘It was like that when I was fighting that bastard, Tabula.’
It was fortunate that the half-human suddenly suddenly rushed at me for no reason, but if I had calmly hit him with martial arts, I wouldn’t have won so easily.
I was much faster in the beginning, but I couldn’t avoid the kid’s moderate attack and got hit by an effective hit.
‘That was the difference in body technique.’
Tabula, who became a beast, was able to slay monsters thanks to her lack of martial arts. It was enough to avoid bouncing with nails and hit a fatal blow.
In other words——that beast’s fighting style was the worst form of my future fighting style.
‘I think I know something…’
The top of my head feels tickled.
It was the first feeling. What should I say? It was similar to when I got stuck on the answer to a question during the mock exam.
As if something would come to mind, as if it wouldn’t, that kind of feeling! I forgot to even focus on the circus and licked my lips.
“Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!”
It must have been 3 minutes since the juggling started?
When the audience’s threshold of tension reached its limit, the clown girl suddenly opened her eyes and continued juggling, throwing knives into the sky one by one.
─Swipe, swish, swish!
Knives that fly in tandem while rotating!
The clown girl didn’t even look at it. She stands on the elephant’s trunk and spreads her legs acrobatically.
What the fuck is that going to be like? Even if it were possible for the flexible legs to open nearly 200 degrees, how could they move like that on an elephant’s trunk on a ball?
“That elephant is amazing too!”
Fran wondered as her hands sweated. It was a great sympathy. A clown girl is also a clown girl, but what the heck is an elephant holding up a person with its nose and not falling off its cheek?
Whirik Whirik—!
The knife thrown by the clown girl fell due to gravity.
“No way dear!!! Lalilura!!! It’s dangerous!”
When the knife seemed to stab the clown girl, the man next to her danced at Bruce like a frog pouring hot water. No, I made a mistake in selecting the starting position. There’s a bastard who’s worse than a hooligan in the seat next to you guys.
Clap clap- clap-!
Performing her ballet-like acrobatics, the clown girl stood with one hand on her elephant’s trunk and with her other caught her falling knife. She did so, she finished her acrobatics, danced down like a gymnast, and she greeted the audience.
─Clap clap clap clap clap clap!!
It was thunderous applause. Most of the people in the audience applauded the clown girl. There was also a franc in it.
“Nor! Saw?! Saw?! Even when she put her blade on her finger at the end, she had one eye closed!!”
“Uh. It was crazy. To be honest, I was genuinely surprised.”
It was an entertainment in another world, how amazing it would be, she looked down on it, but it was such a great circus show that she felt like an idiot.
“Thank you everyone☆!! Please enjoy the next performance too~♡?”
After blowing a wink, the clown girl spun again and disappeared from the stage. The elephant followed her girl, panting and slamming the gimbal.
Is that kid’s performance over? I wanted to see a little more.
“Ah, he’s gone.”
Fran also felt sorry for me and hugged my head. With an opening of less than 10 minutes, the clown girl completely captured the hearts of the audience.
‘I can understand that the man sitting next to me is like that.’
It wasn’t as much as Fran, but she was a very pretty child. She can be said to be an idol of this world because she has good showmanship as well as clothes that are revealing.
The circus went on like that for an hour.
Ballerina-like women performed dances, competing with men in black as they approached, dozens of people built human pyramids, and animals and circus performers danced over lit rings.
Every show has its own strengths, so I watched it without realizing the time was passing. Still, there was no character better than the clown girl who appeared at the beginning.
The other members were busy demonstrating their skills and did not have time to induce the audience’s reaction.
—Hook.
Then the torches went out on the stage of the Colosseum. It was already 10:00 at night. The night was getting late, so the seats in the audience were also dark.
“What! You can’t see ahead!”
“Did the torch go out by accident?”
The spectators panicked because their eyes were blacked out. Just as perplexity spread through the audience, fireworks were lit on the stage.
─Rest.
It was a muscle macho with a flaming rod. Macho turned the stick with both hands lit like a torch on both sides. The visual effect was overwhelming because it was a rod that exceeded 5 meters. It is truly a firestorm.
The traces of torches stand out in the darkness of the night!
As a Korean, I felt déjà vu when I realized what this show really was.
“That… Rat fire game!!”
Britannia These copyright-less bastards have now pakuri the culture of our planet!
No, since this circus troupe came from Romania, did the Romanians do the parkouri? Anyway, like people from other worlds, they were the ones whose copyright consciousness hit the bottom.
─Bung-Bung-Bung-Bung!!
Unaware of my resentment, the muscle macho put on a spectacular fire show.
Then circus performers with short torches appeared and danced in a circle. Is it the finale of a circus show? The sparks glowing in the dark were definitely worth seeing.
But the real finale started there.
─Shoot!!
The muscle macho rubbed a stick on the sand to put out the fire.
I was a little sad, wondering if it was all over, but Macho put the fire extinguished pole in the middle of the Colosseum’s arena.
─Boom!!
As strong as a macho, he drove a bar over 5 meters close to 1 meter. Baby, look at the power. Quite a man.
“Why is the rod on the stage?”
Fran, who had been immersed in the spectacle while talking less, wondered.
“It’s the basic preparation for the final stage!!!!”
To Fran’s question, the man sitting next to him answered while staring at the stage.
“Are you ready?”
“Right!! The pole that will decorate the finale of this circus!!”
After the clown girl left, did Ajae, who was openly bored and doing other things, make her eyes shine? I noticed what kind of finale he was talking about.
“Everyone! Did you wait~☆?!”
It was a great voice that resonated throughout the Colosseum.
What special magic would it be? The girl, dressed as a clown, appeared as if dancing and approached the pole.
“We, Flangungkula’s finale show!! This is the beginning of Chorus Pupus~♡!!”
“Ooooo!!”
“Sister yeeeee!!!! Take me oh oh oh oh oh !!!!!”
At the clown girl’s cry, a frenzied response erupted from part of the audience. Fran and I frowned and covered her ears. It was because of the old man shouting in the seat next to her.
“Shhh everyone♥!”
The clown girl put her finger to her mouth as the cheers erupted from her seats.
“Will you be quiet and listen to our song♡?”
“Yeah!!!”
Ajae in the seat next to her gulped as her nosebleeded. Fucking crazy From now on, you should either avoid the seat or not.
“Then let’s start~★? Are you all ready~?”
“Yep!!”
It was the other circus performers who answered.
All the circus performers who were in charge of the performance were on stage.
“Okay, great! Let’s all start together!”
The clown girl laughed and climbed onto the pole. This time, it was a light movement as if walking around in a zero-gravity space.
‘Ah, indeed. Is mana being used for such an action?’
As I watched the clown girl with concentration, I could roughly guess the timing of the girl’s use of mana. It would take mana to climb a nearly 4-meter iron bar.
─Baba bam babam!
Members with musical instruments beat drums and blew wind instruments to play upbeat music. The clown girl, standing on her single leg at the end of her pole, opened her hands to the beat of the sound.
─Sararak.
Blue threads of mana stretched from the clown girl’s fingers and continued all over the stage. It was a wax figure dressed as a circus performer.
The girl raised ten dolls with the thread of her mana. And all the members and dolls danced around the girl.
‘A puppet doll?’
The dancing dolls were a type of golem.
Marionette is a marionette that removes all cores and organs that move autonomously, and is powered only by the magic of the puppeteer. However, it was not an ordinary skill to control all of those numbers.
‘There’s a reason he’s an ace.’
I watched the finale show admiring the talent of the young clown girl.
─Dung! Doo!
─Parara bam~ Bba bam~!
The wind band played the ending song as they walked, and the clown girl standing at the top of the 4-meter pole waved her hand as if directing her performance.
The puppets jumped and jumped and danced around. The thread from the clown girl’s fingertips covered the entire stage of the Colosseum like a tent that comes to mind when you think of a circus.
And some of the dolls climbed on the elephants’ backs and shot something into the sky. It was a firecracker that felt mana.
Peeing-!
─Puppy puppuppup!
The sound was quiet, but 〈Light〉because it was a transformation of magic, beautiful lights like fireworks lit up the Colosseum.
“Wow… !!”
Fran exclaimed at the light of the fireworks.
I tried to engrave in my memory as if I were taking a picture of Fran’s face sparkling with the light of firecrackers.
─Bah~ baba bam~ doo-dung-dung babam~!
Elephants, circus performers, dolls and clown girls continued to dance in the light.
The smiling clown girl at the top waved her hand with a bright smile.
When the light of the firecrackers went out and the lights went out one by one, the circus show came to an end.
