Chapter 49 (1/2)
Chapter 49 Team Battles (3)
As we finally reached the spectator seats meant for nobles and royalty, Utano-san, Kudou and Yui-chan were already there sitting on a sofa waiting for us
The first thing that caht It was big enough to comfortably seat at least 20 people and there were 4 round shaped tables surrounded by the comfy sofas On the top of the table, pretty floere kept as decoration over a high quality and expensive looking tablecloth I a the table itself should be super expensive as well
All of this gave off such an elegant aura that it was impossible to believe that ere still inside the Coliseum That said it wasn’t overdone that could make someone feel almost nervous around it You could relax and spectate the ht vary from how you looked at it, but I felt that you could really feel the consideration put in the construction of this room
“You look pretty good in the armour”(utano)
“Why, thank you Utano-san as well, the dress really suits you”(renji)
“Thanks I’ll take that as flattery”
“No, I really h”
As I gave a shrug, Utano-san gave a shtly stiff Well, if she could still laugh froht talk like that, she should be fine
Utano-san was currently in a black ‘long torso’ type of dress I don’t re told that that hat such dresses were called
Putting proave her a dignified look and atmosphere Because she has such a slender body, the dress is able to make her look so beautiful
Black, was also a colour that suited her perfectly That’s just h
“Ara, you really are looking pretty good actually”(kudou)
“Thanks You’re not looking bad either Kudou”(renji)
“Is that so?”
Kudou who said that earing a mermaid line dress I’h The upper part of the dress ely thin neck line, and the lower portion was hidden with a long skirt that touched the floor The skirt part looked like the tail of a mermaid which is where the name of the dress comes froh After all, mermaids are enemies to the human race after all They char and then drown the them to the sea And after that, they devour on the flesh of their prey Even their appearance isn’t anywhere as beautiful as e see in stories On their upper body, at the nape of their neck and abdorotesque mixture of the face of a fish and a human In the end, fantasy will always be fantasy Reality was harsh How many times have I cried at such a reality………
It’s a pity that Kudou’s beautiful legs were hidden but it still really suits her And also,a dress, her face showed a much more lively expression than usual All said and done, she was a woood dress as well, I guess
“u, um……”
As if being hidden behind Utano-san and Kudou, the girl in the white dress raised her small voice as well
Her nor behind her back in a proper coedjust that much, she looked a lot more mature
Her dress, as suitable for her age, was perfectly fitting her slight chest and short neck The skirt portion was, unlike Utano-san and Kudou’s, had a bold slit that showed her beautifulleg line Her outfit truly showed both her cuteness and maturity well
Honestly, it really suits her White hairher white dress and ruby-like red eyes And with an expression that held shyness and slight lack of confidence in herself Truly, that ‘gap’ between her looks and personality was very Yui-chan like
“Yui-chan as well, you’re looking good”(renji)
“Ah, re…really?”
“yeah”
What is this? Rather than feeling char attracted, I feel so deeply moved inside my heart
Is this what being a parent feels like? Or was this so different?
By the way, behind her, as if it was noruard He truly looks like a knight but alongside a beauty in a dress, somehow the scene looked bizarre, or rather, way too pro presence
While ere looking at these three, the maid that led us here had quietlymoved to the inner portion of the room
Many otherin wait there as well, probably the ones who led Utano-san and others here Beside them, there was also teacups and a pot kept Probably meant to serve it to us while atch the tournament
“Ooh”(toudou)
“Oh? All three of you look pretty today”(kuuki)
Toudou and Kuuki who came after me spoke as if surprised Especially Toudou had lost his words looking at theauntlet and armour made a dull sound
“Thanks for the flattery, Kuuki-kun”
“No no, it really does suit you, Kudou-san”(kuuki)
“I see You look great in the armour as well”(kudou)
“Thank you very much”
“You as well, Toudou-kun”
“Th, thanks…”(toudou)
“……What are you getting all flustered for after all this time?”(kudou)
Saying that, Kudou pulled her chest portion of her dress slightly It almost made the upper portion of her chest almost visible Kuuki, very casually and Toudou in a panic, quickly averted their gazes
Their reactions , Kudou quicklyhim
Utano-san as sitting beside her ry sho used she has becoh she didn’t say it out loud, it clearly showed on her expression how angry she got with her
As usual, Kudou really enjoys teasing men
Kuuki, as used to her as well, gave a wry so to her chest Well I guess he can’t help it If the princess saw hi the princess back in goodbehind us Who knohat info ht leak?
Beside hi e red faced That reaction is exactly what Kudou enjoys you know……Well, I’ this as well so whatever
The blue dress was tightly stuck to her bodyher attractive curves further stand out With all the portions that exposed her skin well, it was truly an outfit that brought the best out of Kudou Rin’s charm
And that top class dress was currently getting spoiled just to make fun of Toudou What a waste She really is such a free bird Just how costly was that dress I wonder? By the ti it around, I feel like its value will drop greatly though
While I was thinking of such things,beside Utano-san She see but stopped herself fro so
“You’ve got the eyes of a lecher”(ana)
Instead the one who spoke was the foul mouthed queen who had not been here till now
I was just wondering how she’s not by Yui-chan’s side Sheat the Coliseuuess She came in from thespace meant for us to see the arena froht now every wo with each other normally
“That’s not true”(renji)
“I wonder It looked to h”(ana)
Being told that, instinctively auntlet felt really cold
“Really?”(renji)
“Seriously Even though there’s such a cute girl in front of you, how can you be looking soht Yui?”(ana)
“eh, m, me!?!”
“What do you think Renji, she’s cute right?”(ana)
“Well I definitely agree to that”(renji)
When I said that, Yui-chan bent down her head with a shy red face Her reaction as well, looked really cute
As a nor her a bit
“Yui-chan is definitely cute”(renji)
I said it purposefully in a way that put i the ONLY cute one’ Of course while looking at Anastasia
Anasatsiaas her s her, I turned towards utano-san
“Where’s King Joshua and others?”(renji)
“Still preparing They need to pay attention to their appearances far more than even us after all”
“I see”
Saying that, I sat down in front of Utano-san, opposite the table
When I did, without even saying anything, a maid came and poured tea for me
“Oh, is it fine to sit in front of me?”(utano)
“hm?”
“You seeh?”(utano)
What the hell?
It’s not like she actually took Anastasia’s words seriously but still I ended up giving a wry smile at that
“Not really Not in Kudou’s at least”(renji)
“Oh really? She’s quite the beauty even fro boobs as well”(ana)
Anastasia, once again, entered mine and Utano-san’s conversation It’s because this idiot said so Well, rather than saying she’s h While thinking of that, I looked at Anastasia, sitting at her usual place—-Yui-chan’s shoulder That aside, is it okay for a queen to be speaking things like ‘boobs’ so loudly? A to hope that a queen would have atleast a bit more decency ?
Even though she has the looks of a beautiful western doll, her nity, or rather, her appearance as a queen
“Mou, Ana you”(yui)
“You just have small ones, that’s all”(renji)
“shaddup!”(ana)
When I said that, she showed her teeth as if trying to threaten h
It ht be weird to expect that froh Well, worst case, she’d ical energy though
[That aside, how long till the tournament starts?”]
“The king isn’t even here yet”(renji)
[Muu]
Surprisingly, Er bored
“Oh, you were there as well? You were so quiet I thought you weren’t here”(ana)
[I’ unlike certain someone]
“What’s wrong with being lively? It’s more fun that way”(ana)
[There’s a difference between being lively and being a nuisance Isn’t that so, Renji?]
“Really, Renji?”(ana)
Why bring that talk to h, I took a sip from the tea poured by the maid Aah, how tasty
“Well then,”
These two………Ignoring what they were asking completely, I stood up
The spectator seat ere in were created higher than the nor with the arena
It was a full house in the coliseu for the tournain
I’m sure somewhere in there, Feirona, Mururu andas well I tried to make an oblique search but as expected, I couldn’t find the crowd
I wonder what they were thinking as Ermenhilde and Anastasia both remained silent It felt kind of aard
“Are you looking for someone?”
“Hmm, not really”
Maybe she found it a or was just curious, Utano-san asked me while I looked doards the audience
Turning back at her question, I shook
“Was just thinking about how big the croas”(renji)
“Well, obviously The heroes that defeated the Demon God are supposed to have taken part in the tournament after all”(utano)
“It’s not like we’re any different than norh”
“But still, they wish for us To act as Heroes”
“Yeah, I know”
“Yes, indeed”
We’re just normal humans We have received the divine protection of Astraera but deep inside we’re not any different from others
But still, the fact that we subjugated the Demon God makes us into the hope for all the people of this world
That’s why, they ish of us To stand and act as Heroes
As their hope, as absolute existences, as the light that would never fade……to remain invincible, as the perfect idol
