Tournament 5 No matter how soon I want to fight, without winning the qualifier I can"t take on Ange-san"s enemy.
I have to win the final, green qualifier.
Until now I was shamefully hiding my costume under a mantle, but naturally I took it off now.
I"ll go at it with my full strength from the start.
"Oh, after all you"re as lovely as a fairy, Lillinsama. Surely today the legend of the new Fairy Princess will begin."
… I understand Lute-sama has no ill will.
I understand, but being told so is extremely embarra.s.sing.
Ah~~, Allen-kun"s eyes were darting all over while he grew bright red, when he finally looked at my costume he went "woah, woah", how about saying something?
Even though I took off the mantle vigorously, after all it"s embarra.s.sing…
"Now, it"s finally the time for the last, green qualifier! … Eh? Ah, yes. Everybody! There"s particularly good news for the king"s generation. The granddaughter of that "Fairy Princess" is partic.i.p.ating in the qualifier. Of course, I belong to that generation as well! Will it really be the second coming of "Fairy Princess?!"
Uoooooooh!!
The crowd roared.
Right now, there"s no need to guess that it"s about me… right?
I stealthily reached my hand for the mantle… But I couldn"t grasp it.
"… Grandmother, you"re holding my mantle."
"You can"t. Now, go. Show off your strength."
Grandmother laughed, then tore the mantle?!
My, my precious cover…
It seems I can"t turn back anymore.
"Khh. I, I"ll be going!"
I straightened my back and headed for the qualifier"s venue without minding others" eyes.
From time to time I feel intense gazes from the elderly, but I"ll push on.
Now, start the qualifier swiftly!
"Sorry to keep you waiting! At last it"s the final qualifier, everyone with green strings will fight. Are you ready everyone? … Then, begin!"
Phew, finally it started.
Now then, in any case I have to reduce the number of people.
For now, I approached a person in front of me.
"Hey hey, did you get lost, young girl? This is no place to play around. If you don"t want to get hurt, get out at once."
As soon as he was approached, I was told such a line.
Well, it"ll be like this as long as I"m judged by my appearance.
But, anybody who judges me by my looks isn"t worth much.
"Ara? I wonder what kind of person you are to judge my skill by my looks? Please don"t worry, I"m not lost. I"m here on my own will. Now, please don"t hesitate and come."
My words seem to have angered the man in front of me and he tried to threaten me.
"Hmph! What about judging a person by their looks? That"s right. Just by looking I can understand what you can do with such a dainty body. Because you seem to want a painful experience, just as you want, I"ll knock you down!"
When he said that, he finally charged.
When the charging man got in front of me, I jumped, put my hands on his head, and without a pause kicked his back.
Just like that, he vigorously rolled and doesn"t seem able to get up, he was collected by the usual duo.
… After all, was he a weak person?
I kept taking on people in my surroundings one after another.
Basically, they"re looking down on me so they"re full of gaps.
Well, with such gaps I don"t feel I can lose.
However, since a while ago a few people have been on my mind.
That is, for example those three ladies… Younger sister of the person who cowardly dealt with Ange-san, Yumell and her comrades.
The girls are winning by cooperating with each other, skirting the rules.
If they keep going like this, there"s a chance that me and those three will remain… I won"t let them.
I quickly moved towards the three.
They were surprised that I suddenly appeared in front of them.
"W, what is it? All of a sudden. That quickness seems amazing, but so what? At that time, I slightly loosened up and that"s why that happened, this time I"m serious. I"ll defeat you right away."
I don"t know where her confidence comes from.
By the way, around ten people remain.
Unless I defeat them fast, they"ll advance to the tournament.
"Well then, please come. I"m okay anytime you want. How about you three come simultaneously."
The three responded to my provocation immediately.
"Say these words while you still can! Fufu, as you wish, all three of us will be your opponents… Let"s go, Nicole, Holly!"
At those words, the three charged together.
Their intensity is amazing.
But… that"s all.
I caught Nicole"s and Holly"s fist with respectively right and left hands, then hurled them.
The two became friends with the ground, but soon they got up.
If it wasn"t so I"d be worried, since I just hurled them.
"What"s this? We are the top ranked people of this country. Throwing us so many times… is unforgivable!"
When Yumell said so, together with Nicole and Holly who collapsed, once again charged here.
Hmm, is that all they can do?
Even if they call themselves top ranked people, how many times will they come in a brute-force manner that can"t be called a strategy?
Or are they nothing but muscle-heads?
Well, it"s not a situation where I can be concerned about that forever.
"I"m sorry, I don"t have time to play with you. That"s why I"ll excuse myself."
I hit them with little force in the order they came in.
Nicole and Holly crumbled down the moment they received my blows, there"s no sign of them getting up.
The usual duo appeared quickly.
Yumell is the only one left.
"Over!! The four people have been decided!"
Oh no, Yumell remained.
I tried to leave the match venue when I heard a voice from behind.
"… Unforgivable… Absolutely unforgivable! I won"t accept… someone like you."
Yumell said glaring here.
"I don"t particularly care if you approve of me. However, I won"t forgive you. My precious friend was hurt. Please tell your older sister. I will crush her in the finals."
Come, the tournament finals.
If possible, I want to take revenge for Ange-san with my very own hands.
