Conclusion At my words Yulo froze.
Then she slowly looked around.
The eyes looking at her were filled with nothing but disdain and ridicule.
"Ah, n, no…"
Yulo"s vigor was nowhere to be seen anymore, under the gaze of the audience she quietly spilled words of denial.
However, perhaps unable to endure the reproachful gazes of the audience, or perhaps because she got better, she glared at me like before.
"Everything, everything is your fault! Why can"t this me win!?"
Isn"t that obvious?
"That"s… Fufu, surely because you are weak."
I answered Yulo with a good smile that I hadn"t shown her before.
Seeing that face, Yulo glared at me stronger than before, just as if she was cursing me with her eyes.
Well, I"m not scared though.
"T, this is… It seems very likely Yulo-senshu broke the rules in this match! Therefore, the winner of this match is Lillinsenshu…"
As soon as she heard those words, Yulo rushed towards me.
It seems she can"t forgive me no matter what.
I"m the same in that regard, and since I have opportunity, I might as well finish her.
I could see something like a needle in Yulo"s hand. It seems she"s going to use poison again, not having learnt her lesson.
Maybe she doesn"t care about what will happen to her in the future.
"Someone like you should die!"
Whack!! Snap!
My favorite wooden stick smashed into Yulo"s body in a flash. At the same time, the wooden stick I"d fought with until now broke into splinters.
… Phew, I still lack practice.
When I looked at Yulo while thinking so, she was splendidly buried.
I have a feeling I overdid it, but considering what she"d done, it"s fine, isn"t it?
I thought about the possibility that she"d revive, but Yulo didn"t move.
The surroundings fell silent at this scene.
… Huh?
Perhaps everybody drew back?
While deep down impatient, to not let it show I slowly looked at the audience.
At that moment.
"""Woooooooooooooooow!!!"""
An earsplitting cheer filled the surroundings.
"Oi, what was that? The wooden stick swooshed, then there was a bang, and she was blown off!"
"I didn"t see it at all…"
"Or rather, how did a wooden stick bury a person?"
"I, I want to be struck with it…"
Various things were said… However, I kinda don"t want to get close to the last person.
"That"s, that"s exactly Fairy Princess!!"
"Look, younglings! That person is exactly a model genuine lady!"
Ah, the people who had been brawling before made a fuss.
"Model lady"… Really, this country"s culture advanced uniquely, didn"t it?
"T, that"s enough! The match is Lillinsenshu"s complete victory!"
The cheering further increased at the host"s voice.
Meanwhile, the usual a.s.sistants were digging up buried Yulo.
This time, they even prepared shovels for digging holes from the very begging, they were fully prepared.
Yulo, who got dug out, was unconscious with an angry look on her face.
Like that she was carried away, but for some reason heavily equipped people went to follow after her.
As soon as I returned to the waiting room in the back of the venue, Allen-kun came to me.
"Lillinsama! Are you alright? A while ago that idiot said she used a possibly lethal poison… Kh, aah, I really should"ve disposed of her first…"
For some reason I heard something quite disturbing in the second half, but A, Allen-kun? Somehow, your face is extremely scary, you know?
I somehow managed to smile without my face twitching and spoke to Allen-kun.
"Allen, I"m alright. Thank you for your concern. But, look, I put the ordinary wooden stick to use, right? That"s why…"
While I was explaining to Allen-kun with all my might, he suddenly became depressed.
Then I heard Allen-kun"s trembling voice close to me.
"I"m truly glad Lillinsama… Lillinsama is safe. Lillinsama, at the time you collapsed, I was sure my heart would stop. Lillinsama, I understand you are resistant to poison, but just because you were alright once, doesn"t guarantee you"ll be alright if similar poison is used against you again! If, just if you hadn"t stood up, Lillinsama, I…"
It seems I was hugged by Allen-kun.
Like always I was embarra.s.sed and had no idea what"s the best thing to do, but my hands naturally moved at Allen-kun"s trembling voice.
I slowly stroked Allen-kun"s trembling back.
"Allen, I"m sorry for making you worry. Thinking that I"d be fine, I forgot the feelings of people who would worry about me. Truly, thank you."
After stroking him a few times, Allen-kun"s trembling finally calmed down.
However, afterwards with a start Allen-kun cried out "Ah!" and in an instant jumped back.
What a jumping power.
Moreover, in that instant he gently removed my hand that was stroking him.
And, as Allen-kun cheered up in front of me, his face got… No, let"s not say it. After all, I"m probably the same.
