Now then, it's here.
It's the start of the tournament.
At any rate, the venue is filled with enthusiasm… It really seems like people from all over the country gathered.
With such excitement, people who achieve good results in the tournament will definitely receive favorable treatment.
Well, that doesn't matter to me… My goal is to annihilate those people.
"Li, Lillinoneesama is smiling, but… her eyes aren't smiling, and she's leaking blood lust."
Ange-san who's next to me said such a thing.
Eh? Leaking blood lust?
… Hmm, certainly there's no one around us.
I wonder if I've learned grandfather's technique before I realized?
While I was thinking about it, we easily walked towards the venue.
'All participants of the tournament please gather here!'
It seems we're gathering.
"Then everyone, do your best."
Grandfather spoke to me, Allen-kun, and Lute-sama.
It's okay, grandfather, I'll definitely bring them down!
I looked in grandfather's eyes and deeply nodded.
"Ah, ahh. Well, that. Lillina, still, don't take a life, okay? Of course, I think you understand, but I'm saying just in case."
Grandfather said anxiously.
"Grandfather, I'm not going to dirty my hands with such people. Of course, I'll hold back… Just, I won't end the match so easily."
My words made Allen-kun, Ange-san, and also Sasuke-san who became friendly stiffen.
Eh? Is there any problem?
I'll just make them regret not fighting Ange-san fair and square.
"As expected of Lillinsama. That bravery, I believe it's appropriate for the next Fairy Princess. Surely those at the venue today will bear witness to the birth of the new Fairy Princess's legend."
"Ah, um, Lute-sama… I'm not planning on becoming the next Fairy Princess?"
""I think it's already too late.""
For some reason, grandfather and grandmother said something strange.
What's too late?
There are many suspicious things, but for now I have to mind the meeting time.
We headed for the location where participants gathered.
Somehow, I felt a gaze from my side.
When I looked at Allen-kun who's walking next to me, he obviously averted his eyes.
"Um, Allen? What's wrong?"
I don't know why he averted his eyes when I looked at him, so I decided to ask the person himself.
"Eh? No, it's not like I wanted to avert them… Um, Lillinsama. You'll still be fighting in this costume, right?"
… Yup.
That's right, I thought he was looking away for no reason, but by all rights his reaction is correct!
Allen-kun spoke with his face a little red.
Mmhm, I understand.
It's pointless to talk about where he's looking, isn't it?
"Allen… You see, sometimes it's necessary to give up? One mustn't go against the power (grandmother) that's above oneself. I understand that, but what's with wearing this costume. Today as well I've stiffened for five minutes in front of a mirror."
"S, sorry! T, that's why please don't have such a distant look! L, look, we've reached the meeting place. From now on, let's finish our matches quickly! Lillinsama, go for an instant win."
Allen-kun is desperately comforting me.
Sniff, I know, I'll do my best.
'I've kept you waiting long enough! From now, we'll be holding the tournament finals. They differ from qualifiers in that weapons are allowed. Anything goes, but if you kill your opponent, you lose. The fights will last until one of the participants gives up or completely faints. Please fight fair and square!'
Hmph, fight and square… right.
I'm very doubtful whether those sisters will obey that 'fair and square'.
Well, it would be good if they fought using underhanded means from the beginning.
Now then, the first game is Allen-kun's turn.
"Allen, you'll be fine if you do the usual, but still, please do your best."
"Yes! Lillinsama. With your support I'll have the strength of hundred men. I'll be careful not to appear unsightly."
Allen-kun went towards the battle stage after saying so.
I wonder why, there was a hint of something disturbing in his words, but it's okay… right?
There was a disquieting part, but I decided to watch Allen-kun's match from the shadows.
'Then, let's start the match right away! Allen-senshu, Zach-senshu, enter!'
The venue greeted the players with excited cheers at the host's words.
Looking around, there are people bewildered by his appearance.
After all his physique is different~.
Allen-kun is wearing gloves in the stead of using a weapon.
The opponent he's facing is wielding a large axe befitting his body.
From that alone, the fighting potential of his opponent may appear higher.
But… when the match starts surely the venue will be in a state of uproar.
Believing in Allen-kun, I'm waiting for the match to start.
