Chapter 125 (2/2)
「Are you alright? Did so hit you in your head?」
「I’m fine!」
「Maa maa, do you mind that Tier is here?」
「No」
I, Tier, and Kierbit sat around the table in the dining room of the inn
It’s still early for dinner but we can have a light alcohol
It is to push the conversation forward…
「Ahahahahahahaha」
But I never thought that Kierbit is weak to alcohol
「Ehto」
「Ooohhh, the alcohol here is tastierAnother cup! Ahahahahahahahaha」
「Ojou-chan, you seem to understand the taste of alcoholDrink this」
It see to have a feast like e’ve always been doing since there are guestsIt is i now
「We can’t do it today……」
「Right」
「Let’s just call the others」
Tier and I gave up have a conversation with Kierbit and decided to have a feast like the dwarves were expecting
「By the way」
After taking a bath and eating some food, Kierbit calmed down a bit
「Wh-what?」
「Don’t be scaredYou’re not an eneht?」
「O-of courseI’et straight to the pointTellat?」
「If I clear the angel’s trial, isn’t ed?」
「Th-that’s right but I don’t think you can clear it」
「Really?」
「Really」
「Maa, tell ht?」
Gran Maria says that I’ll be okay but I’el’s trial is composed of five trials」
「There are five?」
「Yes and they are really troublesome」
「I already expected it to be troublesomeTell me the first」
「FufuThe first is, financial power! You have to donate 777 gold to the angel race」
「Money?」
「Since you are froold coins」
「Does it has to be gold coins…? Or can I pay with anything with the sa so that worth froon stone? And this big? Eh? Isn’t this worth old coins?」
It is one of the items Dors sent me as thanks before
「Did I pass?」
「Eh, ah, y-yesThen, the second one」
「The second one is intellectCan you please prepare and give me 20 pebbles?」
I prepared 20 pebbles as she requested
「We’re going to play a gaelsYou and I will play and you’ll pass if you win」
「I understandWhat’s the rule?」
「We’re going to take pebbles in turns and the one who’ll take the last one losesYou can take one to three per turnYou must take and you can’t pass your turnGot it?」
「Yeah」
Is that it?
「Then, startI’ll let you choose if you want to be the first」
「Alright」
There are twenty pebbles in the field
The rule states that you must not be the one to take the last pebble
In other words, there are 19 stones to take
The maximum value that can be taken per turn is three
I don’t kno many pebbles should we take…
Ah, no
I have to think of a different approach
Let’s think that the one who’ll take the twentieth piece is not the loser, instead, the one who’ll take the 19th in
No matter how many pebbles will the other party take each turn, I’ll only have to adjust mine and I’ll be okay
In other words…
If the other party takes three, I’ll take one
If the other party takes two, I’ll take two
If the other party takes one, I’ll take three
With this, ill be able to control the pieces take per turn into four
Since I need to take the 19th, it will be four times four which is 16 and the remainder will be three
I’ll win if I take the first turn and take three pebbles
「I’ll go firstI’ll take three」
「Then I’ll take one」
「Three」
…
I won!
「L-let’s do it again」
「I don’t ain who’ll take first」
「No problemLet’s add one o first」
…
I won
「Again!」
「No, let’s els
In other words, I’ll have the opportunity to enjoy it with Tier and Gran Maria
If I can choose ill be my turn, it is certain victory
That reame similar to this one back in my previous world
「The third trial is military power」
「Military power? That’s troublesome…」
「FufufuIt seee hting with the person I’ll name」
「I don’t have to win?」
「Yeah」
「Mou…」
I look at Gran Maria
As I expected, it see to her, she raises her fist and puts out her thuhtWho’ll be my opponent?」
「FufufuYou’ll be really surprised after hearing who it is! The one who enliven the world, the bloodsucking princess, Lulushi+!」
「……」
「It seeht, your opponent is someone Tier wasn’t even able to defeatThere is no way for you to fight her and survive!」
「Ah, no, that」
When I looked at Gran Maria, she’s already crouching down laughing
「Ehto, this is ht?」
「Ah, ies」
「Ah, noBesides, you still have to work for the festival, right? If it’s only this ht, I’ll hurry things up」
I call out for Loo and after saying hello to the stunned Kierbit, she left
It took a while before she was able to respond again
「… wife?」
「Yes」
「And the child your wife is holding?」
「Ah, though he is already big, he’s still our sweet little son」
「Ehto…」
「I survived, right?」
「Eh-ehto……eh… 」
「What is the next trial?」
「Ah yes, next is diplohtDiplomatic power after the financial, intellectual and otiate with?」
「Wait a second」
Kierbit takes a deep breath and gets fired up again
「The fourth trial! The test for your diplootiate with the irant Mountain…」
Kierbit even poses after saying that
「So you’ll have a festival againI’ll attend this year’s festival too」
「We’re still talking about it」
「HahahaI only cahterI’ll only stay for two days」
I understand what he’s pointing out with his answer
「By the way, Dorai in?」
「Hnn? The people who live nearby call it Gullgrant mountain」
「I seeThanks」
Doraion form and headed for the inn in human forers
She didn’t even say a single word
Maa, she’s probably scared when she saw hion form
Now…
「Are you okay?」
Kierbit fainted
For soain and posed in front of
「The final test!」
「Oh」
Financial, intellectual, military, and diplomatic power…what’s the last one?
「Luck」
「Luck?」
「Yes, luckYou’re going to flip a coin and the face should come out」
「I see」
「The coin you’ll use is this el and the other side is a shi+eld and a swordThe angel is the face」
「I understand but…」
I receive the coin and check the front and back
There seem to be not unwanted setup and the balance of the front side and back side seem to be equal
It will entirely be left to luck
I look at Gran Maria
Gran Maria sticks up her thuht
Now, I can’t do anything but leave it to luck
I don’t think ood…
How should I flip it? Should I have the face above in order for it to co it, you should not touch itLet it drop on the ground」
「I know I knowI will not do so cowardly」
It can’t be helped
I obediently flip the coin and let it drop on the ground
And it’s the face
However, it was overturned by Kierbit in the last moment
「Eh?」
「FufufuFuhahahahahahahahahahahahaha! SorryYou failed this trial!」
「Wait ato the rule, you are not allowed to touch it but the rule didn’t state that it can’t be touched by anyone elseIn addition, I hit the coin before it completely stops」
I felt offended by Kierbit and a a scary face but I it dissipated immediately
It is because Tier unexpectedly punches the back of Kierbit’s head with all her !」
「It’s because you’re doing so stupid」
Tier turned the coin face up then storound cave in
「And thus, he passes the last trialKierbit e chief」
「What are you talking about!」
「It looks like it didn’t work the first timeMaybe I should hit your face next」
「Hih」
「You acknowledge it now?」
「Yyyyy… 」
「Acknowledge it」
「I-I acknowledge it」
「Thank youI’」
「Mou……」
「Because the degree of difficulty changes along with the e this trialYou should think a little h」
In any case, I seeel’s trial
By the way, Kierbit looks a little lonely when she picks up the coin on the ground
「Tier did not come out because of the trial?」
「Yes but I decided to come out since Kierbit has become a complete nuisance」
「You don’t wantmy bad side?」
「There’s also that but…maa, it is because I bore a child before the trial」
「If your race is the one who’s deciding on the difficulty of the trial, does that mean that you can’t choose your own partner?」
「That is…」
The current leader’s, Kierbit’s mother, partner is a man with only looks
Kierbit’s mother fell in love with him so the difficulty is low and Kierbit was born
Because his father only has his face, Kierbit had a complex
「The other fathers were all excellent h there is already Kierbit’s parents, it’s still i trial to be stopped… Recently, there was a noticeable nuoing the trialI would have been classified as the same as them if the man I had a child ill not take and pass the trial 」
「Because I’m… because of my reputation, everyone is scared of h you’re so cute?」
「M-mouPlease don’t tease , I suddenly felt so at us
The source of it is none other than Kierbit
「Is there anything you need?」
Because there are too els and harpies, the inn won’t be able to accoe One
However, because there’s nothing on Village One, we had to gather necessary iteize and to thank youI also wanted to have a proper talk」
「……」
「What?」
「Are you alright? Did so hit you in your head?」
「I’m fine!」
「Maa maa, do you mind that Tier is here?」
「No」
I, Tier, and Kierbit sat around the table in the dining room of the inn
