68 The Match Where The Stronger One Gets All the Attention (1/2)
Round 4 of the Festival of the God of War has begun.
Annerose is sitting in the front row of the audience seats, waiting for a certain match.
With her light blue hair being brushed by the wind, her eyes of the same color are focused on the arena. The number of spectators has gone up a bit from yesterday, but more than half of the seats are still empty.
”Jou-chan, you also here to see that guy's match?”
(T/N: 'Jou' or 'Ojou' is a relatively neutral way of addressing young ladies or girls. Then the suffix '-chan' or '-san' is a reflection of how familiar you purport to be to the lady/girl OR a reflection of the amount of respect. The former consideration is for someone you know, the latter consideration is for complete strangers.)
Hearing a voice calling out to her, Annerose turns around.
”As I recall, you are...”
”Quinton.”
The Quinton who is like a rough-looking pro wrestler sits heavily into the seat next to Annerose's.
”You also watched the match yesterday in Round 3, didn't you?”
”I did, yes. From your tone, you also...?”
”I had no intention to, but just happened to see it. Jimina's Round 3 match, what did you think?”
Quinton sprays his legs forward while asking Annerose.
”At the very least, I don't believe that his opponent just happened to trip by himself to allow him a lucky win.”
”Me neither. That guy definitely did something. I couldn't tell what it was that he did, but thought maybe you caught it, Annerose-san of the 'Seven Swords of Begalta.'”
Quinton's insolent gaze is met by Annerose's sharp eyes.
But quickly, Annerose turns her face away and crosses her legs. The slit in her skirt reveals a glimpse of her white legs.
”I've already discarded that name. Now I am 'only' Annerose.”

”Well sorry then. It's a bit late, but congratulations on passing the Trial of the Goddess.'”
”Thanks.”
”So, could it be that even Jou-chan didn't catch it? What that guy did?”
”Y-, yea, I couldn't catch it either.”
So answers Annerose with a slight pout.
”It was beyond my expectations that I would overlook it. It completely caught me off guard. However... I thought I saw Jimina-kun's left hand move.”
”Hou, his left hand.”
”But I couldn't tell what it was that he did with his left hand. The only thing I can say is that whatever it was, it was incredibly fast.”
”Hmph. Then that means my guess was off.”
Quinton snorts as if he's lost interest.
”Guess?”
”I thought he had used a forbidden artifact or something.”
”I see... I suppose that possibility also cannot be crossed out.”
”Either way, today's match will make everything clear.”
”Agreed. His opponent is that Undefeatable Myth Goldoh Kinmekki.”
