120 Episode 120: Black Knight and Pets (1/2)

”We've been in a lot of trouble lately.”

I was eating at the inn, and Mr. Liliera muttered about that.

”Is something wrong?

”Yeah, I was attacked by a bandit on my way home from the game earlier.”

”Eh ⁉ Are you okay ⁉?”

Isn't it tough being attacked by bandits all over the city? ⁉

If it wasn't okay, I wouldn't be here.

And I laugh bitterly at what Mr. Liliera is saying.

Yes, that's right.

Mr. Liliera is here, so is it natural that he's safe?

”Uh, we got attacked, too. Suddenly he was surrounded and attacked.”

”Gyro, you too.”

”Well, if we're strong enough, we're bandits. Choi choi choi choi!

I mean, Gyro, you guys got away with it.

”The bandits who attacked me stuck out to the guards, but when they attacked that one, did they even enter a sizeable band of bandits?

”Or maybe a bunch of bandits came after people who could float in the tournament.”

”But wouldn't that be more sleazy than robbery? If you commit such a massive robbery, the guards will seriously embark on a bandit hunt, right?

”Oh, so is that”

Mr. Norb presumes that the bandits came after the guests who came to see the ritual, but Mina denies that it is strange for them to do so.

”Maybe it was aimed at the participants in the ritual.”

”Us? Why not?

And so Megli groans that the bandits may have targeted our players.

”I think the people behind it are using the participants in the ritual to make bets. So I guess some of them are attacking other players to make them win.”

”” ”” ”” I see ”” ””

We admire Mr. Megli's reasoned assumptions.

Indeed, there were a number of such eight hundred cases in previous life.

”Since we are leftovers, Princess Ryu's ritual alone can be considered the most insane interrupter.”

”It's good to stick it out to the guards.”

Yeah, you can't forgive me for interrupting a serious battle for that reason.

”Uh... but isn't that the work of the anti-dragon imperial faction in the example of targeting His Majesty the Dragon Emperor?

And Mr. Lune opened his mouth anxiously.

”Oh, the dragon emperors said nobles.”

When the Dragon Emperor is resurrected, he can't do anything he likes anymore, so is it a gathering of nobles who want to kill the Dragon Emperor and rule the country as before?

”Um, but wouldn't those dangerous people send a more powerful assassin? I don't think they're sending a halfway assassin who can easily repel you.”

Yes, in previous life and previous generations, there were many troublesome assassins sent by the nobles.

Instead, you don't rely poorly on numbers, but you come under attack with a handful of elites by the stiff-armed.

Half-strength assassins are on the contrary.

In fact, I also used those assassins well to repel them.

”Well, we certainly were able to return the favor lightly, and it didn't look like the kind of dangerous assassin the nobles would send.”

”I think it was the people who normally do the backwork”

He said, ”I was a good fighter.”

”Whatever enemies come to me, it's easy!

Yeah, you're all reliable.

”Oh really...”

Mr. Lune seems to have convinced me while leaning his neck as to whether that's what it is.

Well, she trained to fight dragons, so I guess she has less experience fighting ordinary bandits and assassins.

The strength of a specially trained, real assassin is an unparalleled pain in the ass.

”By the way, didn't Master Rex get attacked?

and Mr. Lune asks as he recalls.

”Yeah, because as soon as the game was over, you disappeared and came back with some hidden magic so you wouldn't find out you were staying in this inn. Luckily, we didn't have to be attacked by bandits.”

”I see, that's Master Rex! You can't even attack a bandit if you can't see him!

”Well, I can't be alarmed because they'll find out who uses top exploratory magic,”

”Uh, isn't that something you shouldn't worry about?

Whatever it is, we're all back safe and sound.

But I also know exactly what Mr. Lune feels worried about.

Looks like you should take care of the assassins in the future.

◆

”Well, then I guess I'll be fine today”

Wear disguised armor to participate in Dragon Emperor's ritual today.

'I was a little late getting ready for assassination. We have to get to the game venue soon. ”

It's a hassle to hide who you are with armor, but it's a hassle for the nobles to be discreet in the tournament they come to see.

Fortunately, the Adventurer Alliance guild leader promised me that he would keep my identity a secret by exercising the Adventurer Alliance's duty of secrecy as long as he participated in the game.

That makes it easy for me to enjoy the tournament.

”But it looks like the higher-level adventurers aren't here because it's the first tournament.”

The guild chief regretted that it was difficult to participate even when the tournament was suddenly announced, as high-level adventurers were busy fighting dangerous secrets, ancient ruins and powerful demons.

”There were only four S-rank adventurers I met, but I'd love to meet some S-rank adventurers from other countries.”

I hope to see you someday.

Because this was a rapidly held tournament, the number of incumbent adventurers was low, and instead there were many general participants who examined their gear.

Probably from a neighboring town or village.

We were all well equipped for the short recruitment period.

There have been some people who have prepared bespoke gear, and the dragon territory is close around here, so I guess the neighbors have all their weapons and protective gear so that they can buy time for the Knights to rush on their own just in case.

”Whoa, it's time to go out.”

If I think forever, I'll be late.

”Cuckoo!”

Come on. It was that time I wanted to go out.

Moffmoff was stuck at my feet. [M]

”What's wrong, Moffmoff?

I gave you dinner earlier, so you're peeing?

”Cu!”

When Moffmoff sounds, he then passes on his armor and rides on my shoulder.

”Maybe you want to follow me?

”Cuh!”

When I said that I was right, Moffmoff rang.

”No, you can't. If you take Moffmoff, you'll find out who I am.”

I usually take Moffmoff without a disguise, so if I take him like this, the disguise doesn't make sense anymore.

”Gyu!”

When I try to lower the Moffmoff on my shoulder, Moffmoff clings desperately to his shoulder armor.

”Guquette!”

I'm supposed to be a little funny with my face being pulled, but Moffmoff seems desperate and not the other way around.

”Nevertheless, here I am.”

If I'm forced to peel it off, I'm going to hurt Moffmoff...

Besides, is it a little pathetic to leave Mohmov alone during the tournament?

'I can't help it. Wait a minute.'

We're a little tight on time, but I guess we'll make it if we hurry.

◆ Norb ◆

”Mr. Rex, you're late.”

The next game is that of an athlete named Tyran, but it's actually that of Mr. Rex in disguise.

But the other player's already here, but Mr. Rex isn't here yet.

”Is there any trouble?

I don't think you need to worry about your danger because it's Mr. Rex, but I'm just a little worried that Mr. Rex might be experiencing some terrible trouble being late.

”Well, even in the qualifying round, that Tyran guy was pretty strong, and I hope my brother makes it before the game starts”

Gyro-kun seems to be concerned about Tyran's fight too...

”What?

”My standout. Then that Tyran guy is pretty strong. So I really want to see how he fights with my brother and set up measures with him.”

……

Oh, that? Could it be that Gyro doesn't realize who Tyran is with Mr. Rex?

”With my brother, with Tyran, this tournament is full of awesomeness!

... Yeah, well, Gyro, if you look like you're having fun... is that okay?

”And Tyran players are slow. It could disqualify you if you stay like this.”

In fact, the referee on the game stage is looking around in a softened manner because Mr. Rex isn't coming.

You're really disqualified if you stay like this, Mr. Rex.

”Tyran's guy didn't come, but could he have been framed by Golmer?

Golmer would do it.

And the audience that was nearby is having an ominous conversation about the players on the game stage.

”Hey, you guys, is that golmer guy a jerk?

You hear what I wonder, Gyro. [M]

This lack of fear is amazing.

”Oh, his name is Golmer. The people behind this town.”

That said, the golmer player the audience pointed out more with his gaze was certainly caught in the backward air.

”He's a man who's good at rough things, but he likes cowardly hands more than that, and people who are hostile to him are in terrible trouble.

”That's... I don't want to get along very well.”

Yeah, you must be dangerous, as these people say.

Maybe the raiders who attacked us were acting on the orders of the golmers.

However, when I heard the explanation, I was convinced that Tyran had not been delayed in his participation because of his obstruction of Golmer.

Yeah, that's definitely another reason.

Nevertheless, being late is still late.

You decided you couldn't wait any longer, or the referee stood in the center of the game stage.

Oh, didn't you make it...

”Tyran didn't get here by time, so this game...”

and then suddenly something jumped from above onto the game stage.

”Hey what...!?”

What showed up was a black armored warrior, yes Lek...... not a Tyran player.

”You're finally here!

Seeing that look, Gyro, you scream with joy.

Really, it's critical, Mr. Rex.

”Uh... Tyran started the second game in time. Tyran, come to the venue at more leisure in the future”

When brought to the attention of the referee, Mr. Rex's dressed Tiran bowed his head slightly and apologized.

And Tyran turns his gaze to a round object on his shoulder...... what are you talking about?

Vision seems to be blocked and disturbed for protective gear, and more importantly, it's only on one side.

”Made of black metal...... ball?

I was tilting my neck wondering what the hell it was, and suddenly that object moved out.

If you think it moved on Tyran's shoulder, pass it on and down... Ah, it fell.

The ball will keep rolling and about to fall off the stage.

”Eh!

When Tyran catches the ball in a hurry, he gently puts it on the ground.

”Cuh!”

He said he heard a ringing voice he remembered hearing somewhere from the ball, and he moved four short legs growing out of the gap with chocolate chocolate to get away from the game stage.

”No way that...”

”Cuckoo!”

Jump to support Tyran, whose husband is the black ball.

Yeah, I knew the squeal...

”What's that cute -!

”Is it that guy's pet?

”You're rooting for your husband!

and the interest of the surrounding audience was poured into the ball brought by Tyran players.

”You look kind of cute in your matching outfit!

”It was a little intimidating with black armor, but surprisingly, do you like animals?

Oh, I see, and indeed that ball is called color and good decoration, you can say it's the same as a Tyran player.

These were the audiences I've been waiting for, but I've been nailed to a black ball that totally moves lovingly.
