「After the Competition」
I unintentionally squinted as daylight shone down on ure
The ground on which I laid upon treht about within the surrounding crowd
In the depths of the Great Canadian Forest…… sat Maple, the elven capital hu
A great e stadium in the city to watch the most recent bout of entertainment
The stadium was reminiscent of the faular intervals along the wall like pillars, and were fused into the stone walls themselves
The seats were raised two or three stories above the arena and were filled with the figures of countless elves
It was a natural location to view the proceedings inside the arena
I avertedsun and focused on the existence standing nearby with a giant smile on their face
She was a large wo over two meters tall However, her peculiar appearance made it easy to see that she wasn’t a human
Two long horns protruded froleeful purple eyes were reptilian in nature and her long, flowing hair was a deep shade of violet
There was a ss attached to the back of her curvaceous body While her chest and abdomen were provocatively exposed, her arms and lower body were covered with armor-like, black scales
She also had a black tail, longer than her own height, attached to her waist which ended in a sword-shaped crystal
This was the fe, Ferufivisurotte
As her naed to the most powerful race of this world Her true forh power to warp huic
Even in the physical form of a person, her poas on a completely different level compared to a human
Her extraordinary poould be a huge contributor in the upco ith the Hiruku Theocracy
She had called this entire spectacle ‘entertainment’…… but her true intention seemed to be to show her power to the elves
It was obvious when you took a glance at Ferufivisurotte standing victorious while I laid prostrate on the ground in my silver armor
However, she seemed satisfied with ree of pride
I rose tonose, then picked up ht, and workedbrown ears into it as I put it back on
That I drank the spring water froht and took part in the battle without succunificant to me
Unlike my emotionally suppressed skeletal body,and easily fell victiative emotions like fear
I’d been training in order to better ed to leap at her head on, but for better or worse, the ways of this world hadn’t fully taken root yet and the shock of the last blow had been too great
As I thought such things over,
Ferufivisurotte and I shared a look
She approachedsmile on her face
Her gaze traveled along ure and stopped on the 『Holy Thunder Sword』I held over my shoulder
“That last bloas pretty impressive, you were serious about it, weren’t you?”
Her eyes narrowed as if she were staring down her prey
I sied and shook my head
“Wasn’t it the saination, or were you holding back until that last blow?”
She flipped her hair back and showed me a mischievous smile in response to my question
“If I had been serious fro…… It’s the saathered here should’ve realized it as well This competition has safely introduced them to the man named Arc-han”
Before, Ferufivisurotte spoke of using this arena as aherself
But that had been her goal…… although she did see on its own
Rather, it was one one of the things she’d been after e reat elders of Maple
I was a part of the elven village Raratoia for the tieneral populace, so it was unlikely that the soldiers would be willing to follow such a person into battle
Though it was a bit forceful, fighting a dragon king should help avoid any contest the rank and file
At the thought, I caught sight of so the arena where Ferufivisurotte and I were standing
The voluptuous approaching wo, that had traditional patterns swine into theolden eyes
Even a of elves, very feomen had the racial characteristic of a dark elf
After I came to this world, she became a companion hom I’d traveled to various locations, and as currently a e I was part of…… Ariana cast a worried glance at Ferufivisurotte’s exposed abdomen
“Are you alright Ferufivisurotte-sama?”
Her question stemmed from when I had impaled Ferufivisurotte with the 『Holy Thunder Sword 』, the way Ariane’s eyes darted between her abdomen and face was proof of her worry
For Ariane’s sake, Ferufivisurotte thinly smiled as she rubbed her abdomen with a scaled hand
“Don’t worry, my insides are fine I already told him, my body is special See, it didn’t even leave a scratch”
“I-Is that so……”
Ariane breathed a relieved sigh with a hand over her heart when she heard Ferufivisurotte was alright, then she placed a hand onto me
“Hey, Arc What happened? That looked like a fatal blow fro”
I shook my head at Ariane’s question
“I don’t know, there was a firm response, so it wasn’t an illusion…… I don’t knohat type of trick she used Maybe it’s a special ability dragon kings have in their human forms”
I looked back at Ferufivisurotte after I said that, but she was currently busy waving to the crowd
Then, I caught the fa towards me
It was sixty centi white fluffy tail took up half of her body and there were also patches of skin that were re her fore- and hind legs
“Kyun! Kyun!”
The animal who let out a sroup of creatures the elves referred to as spirit beast
“Oh, Ponta Is so?”
“Kyun!”
When I stroked Ponta’s head and asked her as going on, Ponta tapped on estured at someone in the audience
I gazed in the direction she was pointing towards, and I saw that so us
“Ariane-dono, so for us”
Ariane turned toward the audience when she heardFerufivisurotte
” Ferufivisurotte-sama, we shall take our leave now”
“Oya, I’ve had enough entertainment for today As I said before, I shall keep my promises …… Arc-han let’s play on our own some other time”
Ferufivisurotte turned away froht smile on her face
I felt a chill run down my spine when I saw Ariane’s expression
“Well, if the opportunity presents itself……”
With that, I turned around and began to leave the arena with Ariane and Ponta, but I stopped in ain
“Oh yeah, Arc-han There a little story that I would like to share with you……”
Ferufivisurotte looked to the sky as her voice trailed off
I looked back at her and asked her what she meant
