Chapter 289: The Second day, Afternoon

They run One kicks the second base, then the third base, and plunges into the home plate with power that could be considered reckless

A ball is thrown from the center field with a power si its way towards the catcher

It’s a close play between the runner of Misu into the base, and the catcher of Belfast, who’s guarding the ho the two fallen people’s appearance, thus the crowd’s line of sight gets obstructed for adoith tension, the audience falls silent while watching them This silence is then broken by the loud voice of the referee

「Sa-a-a-a-a-a-a-fe ! !」

At once, tsunami-like cheer bursts out fro off froh the person who has reached the home plate

The finals have been a deadlock for nine innings with a score of 1-vs-1, and the point just now is the decisive point Thus, it has now beco hit to victory for Misudom of Misumido has won the first international baseball tournadoulus Empire

A silver tape is launched over the heads of the players, where it subsequently flutters as confetti

Well, it’s been a tense ht fair and square to the limits of their power

A thunderous applause buries the players fro, the award ceremony then takes place

As the representative of the host country, I present a commemoration trophy and a shi+eld to the team captain and medals to all of the players in the order of their position

Si the Oly medals to each rank Third place, second place, and first place receives hihiirokane medals, mithril medals and orichalcumcountry in the Olympics should also receive a cash bonus from the host country, but I will entrust that matter to their own respective countries

The trophy and medals are carved with the words “first international tournament” There were countries who didn’t participate in it, but it really is the “first” international tourna the “international tournament” part

I wish that countries will still continue to participate in the second, the third tourna excitement still permeates the audience seats, and applause pours down like rain, wrapping up the players who have fought till the bitter end

As an extra prize, although it isn’t exactly a prize, I will allow the winning team to use one of the castle rooms as a venue to celebrate their victory I will also present a congratulatory feast and several caskets of wine I have bought with my pocket money That said, I hope they at least wouldn’t “pop” the beers because the room will become a disaster Oh well, I don’t think people here have that kind of custom

The baseball tournament has drawn to a close without any accidents

Very soon, it will be four in the afternoon The shogi preli without a hitch

Being accompanied by Yae, Yumina, and Suu, I head toward the assei preliminaries

There are fewer people here in the hall right now than in theThe winners and losers were probably decided already

「Ah, Father !」(Suu)

A the visitors of the assembly hall, Suu finds Duke Ortlinde and runs over to him

「Wow, it seems that Misumido is the champion of the baseball tournament The news has reached even here 」(Alfred)

「Bad luck for Belfast, isn’t it?」(Trystwin)

「Well, both victory and defeat are words that don’t have an absolutesecond place is enough reason to puff our chests with pride」(Alfred)

Certainly, it wouldn’t be strange for that match to suddenly shi+ft in either direction I think that everyone who has watched that gaoing over here?」(Trystwin)

「Fairly well, I dare say There are several people e cannot lower our guard down Honestly speaking, I don’t want to go up against them」(Alfred)

There are 32 players ill be participating in the shogi to the referrals who have been invited beforehand and those ill qualify today

If everything goes s or so Still, I wonder hoill the pressure of playing consecutive ames It would be helpful if we could increase the amount of time in between the matches a bit more, but I didn’t expect there would be so ive me a break

Our plan is to stream the matches toet to watch the screen later The installation will be tricky in a lot of ways, so I will also be helping the in my breast pocket, so I take it out to verify the caller

「Oops, looks like this will also be so」(Touya)

I then entrust this place to Yumina and teleport to the church located on a hill at the outskirts of the town

~=~=~

「S-so it’s tomorrow?! A-at what time?!」(Elias)

「Around midday, it seems It may be earlier or later either way」(Touya)

About the call I received and who the caller was, I convey this to Her Es of God at the church Her breathing then becoh, most likely due to the excitee and all Shouldn’t she be more than 60 years old? Still, I have no intent to ask a wo to do, Your Eminence?」(Phyllis)

「Cal impatient at this late hour」(Elias)

The Ramisshu templars don’t understand the topic of their discussion, so they’re just blankly staring at theitated in a similar fashi+on Well, I suppose it’s unreasonable for thes like this

While they question the details, Karen-nee-san mutters by herself

「Nevertheless, it’s so unusual ~noyo So like the descent of the World God into a loorld hasn’t been several millions of years since the last time it happened ~noyo?」(Karen)

No, he has already descended twice by now Well, according to the talk we had afterward, it seemed he had used a portion of hi the first time he went down Even so, his existence seeh, I don’t know if he’s going to use that same avatar to descend or if he will take the form of a human and descend like what my nee-sans did

「I-if we offend him in some way, this world may end or…」(Phyllis)

「He won’t do that I’ve already told you that he takes a non–interference policy towards this world, to begin with I think it’s fine to not get worked up over his arrival」(Touya)

I calm Phyllis-san down since she has started to talk about soe Will she really be okay? She really isn’t behaving like a candidate for the position of the next pope

「First of all,that tiht」(Touya)

「Ye-ep, there is also this h for me to meet him ~noyo… 」(Karen)

Nee-san folds her ar face

Of course she would be Actually, it was her duty to either capture or subjugate that NEET God However, that saotten himself absorbed by an evil God and became unreachable for the Gods

If I’m not mistaken, my sisters didn’t make it in time by just a few

The evil God has yet to display any ood on one hand, but that also s ominous on the other hand Lower–class frazes continue popping up here and there sah-ranked adventurers

As I thought I have to find a method on how to repair the world barrier

It’s technically possible Right now, I’ that the Reverse World visitors Grandpa Palerius o are the key to this mystery

Perhaps… It’s just an assuolerandpa Palerius from the Reverse World with an experi that ability, it could’ve repaired the barrier of the Surface World Maybe it’s like that?

As I feared, the key may lie in the Reverse World

While I ponder on this matter, a noisy cry, or perhaps a cry of an animal resounds for some reason from the side opposite to the church Is that a cat’s cry?

Turningto the church Uee?!

They continueit an attack against o somewhere What the heck?!

I summon Kohaku from the castle at once with “Gate” If it’s her, she should be able to understand the language of cats

All of the cats immediately becoer, allowing Kohaku to get infor?」(Touya)

『Yes, it appears that… Nyantaro is having a duel or so that you stop Nyantaro and the other party』(Kohaku)

「A duel? With who, it seems』(Kohaku)

What a headache…

~=~=~

Sparks fly from a saber and a rapier Multiple series of thrusts are released toward the dee of the rapier with a saber and goes for a horizontal swipe, but Nyantaro niility of cats and restores his posture

「Stop this, Cat Knight!」(Zelgadi)

「I’uard of the esteemed mother if I can’t handle at least this much ~nya! 」(Nyantaro)

So says Nyantaro while broadly grinning and squinting his eyes towards the De

Both of them slowly step towards each other Their confrontation takes place in the school ca down behind theround at the sae a certain-kill kind of attack…

「Slip」(Touya)

「Gafuu!?」(Zelgadi)

「Funyaa?!」(Nyantaro)

My ic makes the theround Are those two idiots?

I then breath out a sigh as I watch two people (or is it one person and one ani down

「What the hell are you doing, Your Majesty The De of Brunhild? About this! I was trying to gauge the strength of this dauard I hold no ill will here!」(Zelgadi)

Sakura’s mother Fiana-san works as the headmistress of the school here This cat here is Nyantaro, who about seeing the cat’s ability, but that’s suspicious I have a feeling that he’s just plain jealous at being shown the cold shoulder by his daughter and forh)

Well, it looks like he still has his reasons He didn’t use ic after all

Everyone else is the saic has beco a God’s dependent and receiving its effects It’s just ic power, in her usual state, is alreadyWhich means that it’s possible that her suard

But I digress Is he an idiot, for having a duel with the king of a whole country? As for the De here by hi?

「What the hell are you doing as well?」(Touya)

「Nyaa?! I’ve been told by the princess not to restraincomes ~nya! If possible, it wouldn’t be a proble the festival ~nya!」(Nyantaro)

「Gfuuu?!」(Zelgadi)
