Tournament – Finals Part 3   Following the qualifiers, the first day of the finals ended safely. Gabil did his best. With indomitable spirit, he stood up over and over again, seeming like a wall that couldn’t be passed.

  No matter how you look at it he already gave up, but his luck run out when Souka became the announcer. After all, for a full hour, Ranga toyed with him[1]. Since the spectators didn’t know the circumstances, it seems that Gabil was remembered as an unyielding man. I can’t decide whether that’s a good or bad thing. However, I want to say that “I’m glad it’s not me!”

  There was a person who called me to halt.

  Before I could reply to the girl, a person came and greeted me while panting. Did he come running? It was Duke Elalude. 

  She was a person the Duke was hurriedly looking for....... Although I expected it, more or less let’s listen to his word*

  Pretty much, she was the ruler of the country who supported me. After he introduced the empress to me, he introduces me to her.   「Umu. I know. This one[3] is the Empress of the Sorcery Dynasty of Sarion, Elumeshia Elure Sarion. I hope we will get along well.」(Elumeshia)

  「Hello, I’m Rimuru, the King of Tempest. Please take care of me as well! Since I’m ignorant with the etiquette of King, please pardon my rudeness.[4]」(Rimuru)

  「Umu, it’s not a problem. Such things aren’t important. What is with this country’s outrageous war potential! That’s the real issue!」(Elumeshia)

  We changed locations, and we were now talking while eating dinner. I wanted to eat with Masayuki, but I gave priority to the Empress of Sarion this time. Though it was regrettable, it couldn’t be helped.

  The second day of the Finals.

  Souka seems to have asked again while smiling sweetly. She ended her words with “fool”.   「Hahaha, of course. A Holy Knight wouldn’t run away from any fight!!」(Trapped Knight)

Or rather, when she was still Abil’s Imperial Guard, she looked like an obedient and good child, but she changed suddenly after she revealed the fact that she was a woman. Was this her original personality? Or did she receive a wicked influence from someone (Probably Souei)? Or, it might be both. She has grown into a frightening little demon. It’s too late now. I must be careful so I don’t end up ensnared in a trap as well.     「Begin!」(Souka)

While I was thinking about the pitiful Arnaud, the match began before I realized. Arnaud was taking a distance from Beretta, vigilantly holding his sword. As expected, it seems he won’t attack carelessly.

  I was surprised! Suddenly Ramiris came and spoke near my ear. Veldora and Milim also came along from behind.

  Veldora began proudly laughing. Unlike the old him, he seems to have become interested in the matters of strengths and weaknesses. It must be the influence of Manga. 

「Ootto, Contestant Arnaud’s attacks cannot pass at all? Is he going easy on his opponent? But if these are serious attacks then is he unworthy to be called the strongest Holy Knight!」(Souka)

That brief comment was a sharp wound. But those words couldn’t disturb Arnold’s mind yet.   「Hah. Every attack so far was for the sake of a plan. Look below it’s feet everyone!」(Arnaud)

At the intervals between the sword attacks, without being noticed he had been drawing the formation by scattering silver dust. He was a skillful man. However, to be able to fight with this method, it seems he wasn’t a simple muscle brain.   「Activate! Holy Field・Weak version!」(Arnaud)

    Normally, although it is just a weak version of the Holy Field, most people would succumb to it when confined inside. It might be that only some of the executives would be able to cancel such a barrier.

  Ramiris flew around my surroundings, boasting with a self-satisfied look. Not enough to only show it to me, she was also boasting to Veldora and Milim. Veldora only replied,「Humph, even so I am stronger!」but,

  Not wanting to lose, Milim answered back to Ramiris. Geez, is this a children’s squabble? Furthermore, don’t you think we should have worried about the pitiful Arnaud-san? The brutal announcer herded him into a situation where he couldn’t surrender, so his situation was hopeless. Or rather, won’t Arnaud’s spirit[19] be broken by this? Just with this, my own assessment of him considerably increased.

Arnaud used a Special Move he calls “Meteor Slash[20]” or something like that, but the sword broke and crumbled when came in contact with Beretta’s body. Oh well, it was natural that the sword lost its durability after striking the hunk of steel that is Beretta’s body continuously. The weapon will accumulate damage little by little even if the weapon is clad with touki. Even though his sword was broken the match continued. But Arnaud conceded defeat, and so the match ended. His sword being broken was just an excuse. In reality, he wasn’t able to land a single hit on Beretta. However, since the spectators didn’t know about it, the skillful announcer followed up Arnaud. 「Unfortunately because his sword has broken, he must reluctantly surrender from the match.」With such an explanation, the spectators understood. Souka, I will treat you to a meal! So I thought with teary eyes, somehow she gave a skillful commentary. However I pretended not to know about it. Arnaud’s honor was protected. That is good.   Thus, the fifth match ended with Beretta’s victory.
