Chapter 58 – Chapter 3: Girl Prosecutor – 2
Swoosh-.
Wet fingers grabbed my feet.
I shuddered at the tingling and tickling feeling.
For a moment, the man warmly covered her ankles and began caressing her joints.
“Yes…”
She closed her mouth tightly and let out a breath.
This guy is perfect at giving massages.
It feels strangely good when I touch the animals.
She felt it when she was in Char Rak Village, but her uncle’s touch was neither too strong nor too weak.
It really feels like the perfect fit for me.
“Woah, how about here?”
“… “Good.”
As he moved his fingers little by little, he kept asking her how she felt.
It was good.
No matter where she was touched, her heart felt so full that all she could say was ‘I like it’.
“Huuuk-huuuk-.”
“… Ugh.”
In quiet silence.
All I could hear was Uncle Po Sao’s breathing and my moans pressed under her lips.
She felt embarrassed and thought about telling me.
The man opened her mouth first.
“People who use their bodies put a lot of strain on the bar and feet. So if you touch this place, it works well.”
“Ahh… I like it there.”
“Nehihihi. It’s here.”
“Huh.”
Touch the parts that feel good.
It was tickling, so she shrugged her shoulders.
The man looked at my feet up close and was impressed.
“It’s amazing that Tia’s feet are small and pretty.”
“…”
“Your legs are so thin. “You’re strong.”
“… That’s because I trained.”
“I’m honored to be able to touch Tia’s feet.”
Then, he placed his lips on the top of my foot and blew on them, as if shaking off dust from gold.
My breath tickled, and it looked funny, so I giggled.
“… Mister. “Isn’t that going too far to reach ‘Glory’?”
“I’m serious. Tia… Me, I am like that.”
“Hmm-.”
I’ve even been kicked with this foot.
The man was truly honored and gently touched each and every toe.
As she was receiving a pleasant massage, she became increasingly tired.
The man must have noticed that I was sleepy, so he quietly said good night.
“Good night. T, Tia.”
“…”
As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep.
* * *
The very next day was the second game.
Before the game started, the host announced that some new rules had been created.
First, the match can only proceed if both players raise their weapons.
Second, within the stadium, you can only give an effective hit to your opponent with a weapon.
Third, attacking with other objects, including dirt, within the stadium is prohibited.
Fourth, additional points are awarded if the opponent falls, but attacks are prohibited until the opponent stands up again.
A dumbfounded laugh came out.
This is just a rule made to keep me in check.
Even when the game is in full swing.
It felt unfair to suddenly create and apply new rules.
Well, there’s nothing we can do about it.
Even if you protest, nothing will change.
“The second match begins now! This player who comes up first is the speedy swordsman, Rogue Crepe! “Crepe’s exhilarating skills that dashed all the hopes of the challengers – will he be able to show it again today?!”
A black-haired male prosecutor came up to the stadium.
The weapons are buckler and long sword.
Although he wasn’t wearing a helmet, it was impressive to see him wearing his armor properly.
“Log Crepe’s opponent is-! Tia Anthea-! “This is the ‘girl swordsman’ who is the subject of much controversy and who defeated Kleenek Wolff with formidable skills!”
“Waaah-!!”
As we entered the stadium, cheers erupted.
Sure enough, the player called ‘Crepe’ made the first provocation.
“Hey kid. Did you hear there’s a new rule? The prank ends here. “Go home quietly and suck some more milk from your dad.”
“Yes, yes. “I heard that the rules have changed.”
I quickly drew my sword and took a stance.
“But I don’t think the results will be any different.”
The crepe was silent as if it had been hit.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and glared at me.
“I am careful not to hit women. “I guess I should add one exception.”
“It’s what I hoped for.”
“Be prepared.”
Growling fiercely, the opponent raised his sword.
“The game begins!”
At the same time as the signal drops.
Crepe rushed in first.
Tatak!
The opponent flies into the air.
A large shadow fell over my head.
“Hot!”
If you accept it as is, you will be pushed back with force.
Naturally, he took his foot back and let go of the attack.
Boom-!
A heavy attack passed right in front of us.
Without stopping there, the crepes began to delve into each other.
Whick! Swish-!
The heavy sound of cutting through the wind.
Indeed, as befits the nickname ‘fast swordsman’, his movements are fast.
It’s good at disrupting my vision, and it tries to take my breath away without giving me a chance to catch my breath.
… And that I know this.
This means that you have already figured out the opponent’s swordsmanship and strategy!
Crepe shouted.
“Don’t run away, run at me! “You bitch!”
The more excited you are, the greater the movement.
I was just staying calm and watching for opportunities.
Indeed. Finally, the trajectory I wanted to be appeared.
Hissing-.
A single attack coming from a diagonal line.
Without letting go, I put my sword there.
Kaang-!
Iron collides with iron.
A fleeting moment when metal hums.
I swung the blade in the opposite direction.
Poop!
The dull sound of hitting the neck of a crepe.
“Wow… !”
The opponent’s head was bent.
He fell to the floor and screamed in pain, then vomited on the floor.
Now is your chance to finish.
He immediately grabbed his sword and tried to rush in.
“Falling crepes! Will it ever happen again? The count is in!”
I came to my senses after hearing the host’s words.
Oops. I told you to wait if you fall.
I quietly waited in place for the crepe to rise.
“Stop! Stop!”
Suddenly the doctors rushed out.
They urgently supported the crepe and checked its condition.
“Ah-how did this happen! It looks like Crepe’s condition is quite critical! In the arena, you have to respect your opponents! It appears that Tia Antheer attacked unreasonably again!”
It’s unfair.
Of course, I also adjusted my strength.
Since I just swung my sword with less force when I had an opportunity to attack, I wouldn’t have been seriously hurt.
“… Ah! Crepe has declared abstention!”
However, a declaration of abstention was made soon after.
Another unpleasant victory was achieved.
“Mister. Aren’t there new rules coming out tomorrow? [Fifth, attacking the opponent’s neck or face with a sword is prohibited] I guess it’s like this?”
“Nehihihi. T-Tia is so good, I’m jealous… Yes.”
“Tch. Then, let’s just make a rule like [Sixth, Tia Antheer is prohibited from competing]!”
“Well, it might happen soon…” .”
The man took my complaints in stride and gave me a firm squeeze on the shoulder.
Just like yesterday, I received a message as soon as I returned to the accommodation.
Actually, there was no particular pain.
It felt good to get a massage, so I just made the excuse that my shoulder hurt.
Feeling a bit of pleasure, I heard information about the opponent for the third game.
“I heard that the next opponent is a rough person. The main weapon is a mace.”
“Using a mace? “He might be a bit of a difficult opponent.”
“Why?”
“It is difficult to fight with a mace and a sword. Also, chain mail won’t help.”
“Well, that’s a big deal… So should I buy plate armor now? Oh, I earned 100 gold today.”
“Really?!”
The man’s stake was getting bigger and bigger.
It is said that after enjoying the party yesterday, the remaining 30 gold was added to my name, bringing the total to 100 gold.
At this rate, I thought I could earn 1,000 gold in one go.
The problem is… The closer you get to the finals, the stronger the opponents become.
The opponent I will meet tomorrow is also different in weight class.
They say he is a large man who uses a mace.
There was a high possibility that the physical fight itself would not work.
“Are you okay. Even if you wear plate now, it will only make you heavier.”
“But, if Tia gets hurt…”
“So you have to use your strength-. “Please massage a little harder.”
“Oh, okay!”
I feel good.
Being held in the man’s arms like this and touching her shoulder… Warm heat seeps into my back.
It felt like I had a sweet dream that night.
* * *
“Unbelievable! These results are incredible! This time, ‘Tia Antheer’ is the first to win the third game!”
I was a little worried, but it ended smoothly.
This large opponent wielding a mace was truly a wild fighter who knew nothing but destruction.
That’s why he just rushed at me without any technique.
However, the beauty of ‘swordsmanship’ is that if you attack only by believing in your weight class, you will get seriously injured.
As my teacher taught me, I pulled it slowly, hit only the vital points, and it wasn’t long before my opponent got tired first.
Maybe I’m now used to the ‘arena rules’.
In the end, victory or defeat is determined by the scores given by the judges.
According to the impressions of the man who watched the game, I flew like a butterfly and attacked like a bee.
It was impressive to see him stab the opponent through the fierce mace.
Anyway, the effect was very good.
It seems like there were a lot of complaints from the audience, saying it was the most boring game ever.
It doesn’t matter to me as long as I can win.
Uncle Posao called 100 gold 200 gold again.
He said that now there are a lot of people betting on my name, so the odds have gone down.
“… How about quitting now?”
I was getting a back massage today.
Uncle Posao asked that in a serious voice.
“Yes? You want me to stop? Suddenly?”
“From Game 4 onwards… Yes, I think the opponent will be very difficult.”
Even if it’s been pure luck so far, prominent prosecutors will appear in the fourth round, called the ‘finals’.
I heard that these people have very fierce personalities, so they often get seriously injured if they get caught wrongly.
Even in predicting the match, which was a lucrative reward, the odds dropped to 1.2 times, making it difficult to have fun anymore.
I lay face down on the bed and shook my head.
“Uhm, I still want to do it. “I can do more.”
“Really, is it okay?”
“Even if you fail along the way, you have to give it a try. “I heard the winning prize is 300 gold?”
“Wouldn’t it be difficult no matter how much you wear it?”
In the first place, Uncle Posao did not propose this arena with the aim of winning the prize money.
From the beginning, I planned to make money through gambling.
It was fatal that my dividend amount was lowered because I was more active than expected.
Since I ate enough, I should lose weight in moderation.
Of course, if you think about it calmly, there is no method as safe as this.
… For some reason, I became greedy.
I wanted to properly test my skills as a prosecutor.
“Starting from the 4th game, the war money is coming in little by little. “I’d like to try one more time.”
“Okay… If Tia wants to do that…”
“Huh!”
Suddenly, pressure came to my lower back.
“You were surprised… Uncle.”
“Still, you feel good, right?”
“That’s right, but-. Ugh-. Uncle… I guess you could say I feel a bit anxious because I’m up there.”
I’m lying down on my stomach, and the guy on top is massaging my back.
If I just sit down like this… I’m anxious because I feel like my back will break under that enormous weight.
I said that it would never happen, and when I got down on my knees and apologized, I said I believed it.
When Mr. Posao gets on the bed, it feels like both sides are sinking.
I’m also anxious…
If you were crushed by such a large body, you wouldn’t be able to breathe.
… It’s scary to even imagine.
However, contrary to that anxious imagination, I felt this exhilarating feeling of my back and shoulders being pressed… I couldn’t move.
And this is a secret.
“Huh… Good-.”
Sweating coolly while fighting, and receiving a nice massage from the man every night.
It was one of the reasons why I wanted to continue the challenge.
