(Wn) Chapter 191 (1/2)

The Morning of the First Round

『Morning Fran, you get a good night's sleep?』

「Nn…」

Fran was still only half awake, but so her breakfast down her throat regardless

『Today’s the day The tourney’s finally starting』

「Nn…」

I’d been a bit worried as to whether or not Fran would actually be able to get a good night’s rest, but it turned out that my concerns had been totally needless To her, today was honestly just another day

Ourroutine went just as usual I washed her face, dried her hair ar

『Today’s your big day, so we’ll have to make sure you look even cuter than usual』

「Doesn’t matter」

『Don’t be silly Of course it’s going toto be put on display』

I finished styling her hair as I responded to her Only after I finished that did her eyes finally snap open and fill with energy She pro Urushi+’s The wolf narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation for a fewmore affection The way he acted rehbors had in the past He seriously didn’t give off even the slightest bit of the feral feel you’d normally expect from a wolf

『We still a bit ahead of schedule Feel like doing anything in particular, or?』

「Nn Master, over here」

『Huh? What’s up?』

「Nn」

Fran grabbed a cloth and began polishi+ng me off

『We haven’t actually fought yet, so ht?』

「Not problem」

『But-』

「Because not just me」

『What’s that supposed to mean?』

「Master also being put on display Will have to make Master look cool」

She continued polishi+ng me as I brooded over whether I should thank her or tell her to stop As far as I was concerned, Fran was going to be the star of the show, and I was just going to be an extra I would’ve loved to keep conte so I could actually arrive at an answer, but ulti after she started because of how good it felt

My loss of control led her to continue polishi+ng ood 30 minutes, after which my blade became nice and sparkly

『Are you sure that didn’t tire you out?』

「Still okay」

『Alright, let’s head out then』

「Nn!」

All contestants were to report to and gather in the Adventurer’s Guild Block A was scheduled to be the first to fight, so its et to there extra early

Upon arrival, ere iuild’s clerks It see used as te rooms The fact that the rooer rooated within them was one that I could only possibly conclude as beneficial Hot blooded adventurers, like Fran, would probably start fights if left with all the other participants

「Please wait here until we call for you Your match will be the 6th, and each is timeboxed to 30 minutes, so I believe you won’t have to waiteach match lasts, the shorter they are, the sooner you’ll be up」

「Nn Got it」

「You’re free to observe the rest of the day’s matches once you’re done with your own, but you’re not allowed to leave the room until we call for you」

The fact that matches were timeboxed meant you couldn’t really stall forever and just bore the crowd It’d also prevent the tourney fro thrown off schedule However, it also meant that it was possible to run the tiic ite in combat The bracelet would allow one to determine a victor should the combatants eat up the whole 30 minutes they were allotted The bracelet was capable of deter the contestants’ HP and MP values, as well as their relative consumption thereof It would use the numbers it read to discern which of the two coed victorious had the match continued indefinitely

「There’ll be a staff member just outside the door at all ti 」

The tournament’s participants were treated like VIPs and could order the staff to do all sorts of stuff A few exahtIt seemed convenient and all, but didn’t quite pertain to us The stuff we had in our dies served to more or less satisfy all our needs

As a result, Fran basically ended up just sitting down and taking it easy for a while

We weren’t bothered at all until about an hour passed, after which soave our door a knock

「Excuse me」

「Nn」

「The fourth in after the next one ends, so ould like to show you to a waiting room closer to the arena」
