Chapter 419: Apparently, There was a Battle That Happened Behind the Scenes (1/2)
It was a scene that could have been straight out of an apocalypse.
With a roar, the earth cracked, the air swirled, and people ran for cover…… With those descriptions, did you think that I was talking about a war? No, I'm talking about a ”rock-paper-scissors tournament”.
Right in front of me was an arena filled with craters, littered with places that were on the verge of collapsing, but the place was somehow able to maintain its original shape.
Can you believe this? Everyone was just playing rock-paper-scissors, you know? Moreover, it all started just because of a badly-made clay sculpture that I made……
There was no way that an ordinary person like me could intervene in the battle called rock-paper-scissors, which had completely become some kind of ultra-dimensional sport…… I just prayed to God that my black history would not fall into the hands of someone troublesome.
However, my wish was scoffed at by the God I prayed to.
The most troublesome person in the world got her hands on it! For the airhead Shiro-san to acquire it, that was almost the worst outcome of all. The worst thing that could have happened was for it to fall into Eden-san's hands, but this was still the second worst situation of all.
Alice and Fate-san were still doing their shameless live commentary and analysis, even though the audience had already fled. The only ones left here were the ones I knew.
But then again, I'm feeling complicated only because of what they're fighting about…… but it was a really fierce battle.
Well, I couldn't see anyone doing attacks or defends at all, but I could hear the explosions and the ground being gouged out.
Kuro beat Eden-san in the semifinals, but she seemed to have worn herself out and lost to Shiro-san in the finals.
Shiro-san's opponent in the semifinals was Fate-san, but Fate-san forfeited, and Shiro-san managed to win without tiring herself during that match. Well, it was really as Fate-san said. Kuro was just not blessed with luck.
[……Errr, thank you. Lillywood-san.]
”No, I'm just glad that Kaito-san is uninjured.”
Incidentally, Lillywood-san protected me, Lilia-san and the others, so we didn't get injured.
By the way, Shiro-san? I know you can hear me, right? I'd really like it if you could promptly hand over my black history back to me, you know?
(On one condition.)
……I knew that this would be the case. I had a feeling that this would happen. I have a bad feeling about what you're going to say, but please say what you want.
(I'm feeling troubled about how to spend my time on the seventh day of the Six Kings Festival.)
……Errr, that means……
(I'm feeling troubled about how to spend my time on the seventh day of the Six Kings Festival.)
This is that, all over again, isn't it? This means I'm supposed to say that, right?
(I'm feeling troubled about how to spend my time on the seventh day of the Six Kings Festival.)
S- Shiro-san…… Well, if it's okay with you, Shiro-san……
On the seventh day of the Six Kings Festival, could we hang out together……
(Date.)
……Could I ask you to go on a date with me?
