Arc 27: The Reverse World

Chapter 291: Third day, Afternoon till Evening

On top of the arena, six participants are ruthlessly coing, receiving, thrusting, and cutting each other Eventually, they collapse one by one

Those fallen and fainted are immediately transported immediately outside the arena where trained nurses apply recovery ic on them

Various contraptions are installed in the arena, in order to protect the lives of the participants This transportation ic is also one of those protective measures

The last two persons, who are still standing, cross their blades One of thereatshile the other is a boy wielding a katana

Who ht that boy be? Ah! It’s Kokonoe Juutarou-san, Yae’s elder brother

We’re the ones lending the participants their weapons, but it doesn’t evenan attack froe will still cause bone fractures or even death

Well, there’s a chance for a person to recover as long it wasn’t an instant death Besides, Moroha-nee-san will stop the e

Meanwhile, Juutarou-san ni a retreat

Appearance-wise, the greatsword user see pressure on his opponent, but then Juutarou-san steps forward all of sudden just when I was thinking that he aps in between his opponent’s attacks

Like a lightning, his katana flies and lands accurately into the opponent’s torso

Donn! The sound of an ireatsword user falls forward and gets transported outside the arena

「End of the match! The winner of the G Group is… Kokonoe Juutarou!」

Moroha-nee-san raises her voice and cheers and clapping echoes from the audience seats

Juutarou-san bows, descends fro room for the participants

「He surely ithout breaking a sweat, didn’t he?」(Yumina)

「Aniue is that skillful after all」(Yae)

So proudly nods Yae in agreeroup, who has come to watch the preliminaries for the martial arts tournament, consists of me, Yumina, and Luu We thenthe audience

Looks like the preli favorably, and close to half of the participants for the main event are already decided The nu, so the prelie is exciting in its own regard

「Do you know if the Knight King of Restia… Did Reinhardt-san qualify already?」(Touya)

「Aniue is in group A, which was one of the previous ht now fro at is in the direction of the waiting roorounds ht Both Yae’s and Hilda’s brothers will probably be fighting each other, depending on thefor? While it’s trifling, I can’t really say to both of the our acquaintances who have already qualified as well?」(Touya)

「Knight-Coulus, General Leon from Belfast, and our own Baba-dono have」(Yae)

So old man Baba has advanced as well, huh…? Well, I don’t want hie

I suppose this outcos to the Four Heavenly Kings of Takeda

「Touya-sama, look…」(Hilda)

I then notice a faroup, who are going to be the next participants at the arena

It’s so brown skin with a pattern made of scales and sharp ears Two horns stick out from the head, and a thick tail fros to the dragon tribe

「It see」(Touya)

A feon tribe, she’s an adventurer and one of our acquaintances fro Ceremony”, which is a martial arts tournament in the Great Forest Sea We also cornered the false heavenly eether

After defeating the sham-eoing to the dungeons of our country and the like, so itfor her to participate in this tournain with, it looks like she started traveling the world in pursuit of other etsu-sanas well I immediately remember that bojutsu user with a shaved head He did say that he’s her traveling co those thoughts, thein the arena

An ax user receives a flat-out gauntlet attack fro outside the arena

Contrary toto stop himself, the ax user receives the next attack A sudden, invisible i outside Naturally, it’s a disqualification once you’re outside the arena

This must be Sonia-san’s “Hakkei” This ability is really troublesoe

In the end, Sonia-san reroup and proceeded to the hters, like General Leon fro an appearance there, but she may even be more skillful than him…

Oh well It’s said victory depends on the luck of the day, so on’t know for sure until that time comes

「I wanted to participate as well…」(Yae)

「Me too…」(Hilda)

「Hey-hey Just so you knoe are essential personnel ill deal hatever problems that may occur Don’t lose focus, okay?」(Touya)

Both Yae and Hilda let out disappointed-sounding voices, so I call their attention to remind them of what matters with a strained smile

Naturally, this is the official stance, but I’ everyone participate in the tournaood decision, especially those two and Elzie

In addition to that, they’re receiving the affection of many Gods It’s possible that the top three positions would be monopolized by Brunhild, which probably would’veI don’t want others to think that the gaed

「TheLet’s head to other places Speaking of which, Sakura and others are at school…」(Touya)

The o to the recital, a telepathy cohout the town

「… I aent ca everyone, I immediately teleport outside of the arena

I did so in the shade of a building so that it won’t cause an uproar After that, I i with people

Once I push h the crow, I notice athis way Behind hi in a crawl It’s one of Kohaku’s subordinates So this is the guy, huh?

I then silently stand in front of the man with a black bandana

「Ah? Who the hell are you?」

「May I ask you to return that thing in your breast pocket?」

「… I don’t knohat you’re talking about」

「You’re holding it, aren’t you? That purse that you’ve pickpocketed 」

Chi! The ue and takes a knife out of the pocket instead of the purse and thrusts it at me Looks like he’s an idiot, he could’ve just run away irab his hand, twist it and raise overhead The rip of his knife due to the pain he feels frorovels at the ground

「Guaaa!? B-basard! The hell are you doing?!」

I‘ you, as out a purse fro down The purse ifite to the report of the little uy apparently snatched this purse fro merchant earlier I was the closest one to the scene, so I just juuys fro about the commotion and arrest the perpetrator

At first, thehis and whether I have proof that he had stolen it But then, he becomes docile once I disclose e of his cri the hts then take the thief to the guard station Once I htful owner There’s quite a lot of ht now

Thankfully, I have the memories of the mouse, so I knoas pickpocketed

I display a map, and I easily find the person in question It appears that this person in front of a street stalls a bit further down the street I should return the purse to hi at a quick pace before the stall, I see a plu a quarrel with an old man who seems to be an owner of the stall The merchant clothes have an excessive amount of red in them I didn’t know about that since the memory of the little audy ht

「What do you mean “I have nofor the food right fro, then…」

「I did not! My purse is no longer with ht’ve lost it or I was pickpocketed…」

Oops! Looks like the situation turning into a case of “having no wallet and leaving the restaurant without paying” That’s serious

「Excuse me Could this be the purse that you have lost?」(Touya)

「Eh? Ah! My purse?!」
