Chapter 196 Part 3
Translator: “Ash*ta” Editor: “Weasalopes”
The story goes that in a hurry, I do not place a limiter on myself and I go all out in my offense against the two of them.
After twenty minutes, Cool-san and I are running North on the main street of the entertainment district.
The place we are headed for is Jayanne. The concierge there is an influential person within this city, so I think he might know something about this matter.
No, I take my word back. Cool-san is not running at all. If I were to compare her speed to something, it would be that of a brisk walk that is a little faster than usual.
It seems like she really thinks that the matter regarding Corneal is of little concern to her.
「Although, the two of them were really not that much」
In order to be on the same pace as her, I am currently in the jogging state.
The matter I am speaking about is one regarding the assassins earlier. I do not know who the two of them are but they do not have the competency to match the confidence they themselves had shown to the two of us.
The weak point of weak points that I have uncovered through the use of my magic eye. When I drove the Astral Sword (Spiritual Star Sword), filled with all the strength I could muster, into it, the winner of the match had been decided.
(……Hmm?)
This is what I thought at that time.
A tee shot, one that is used in golf, is it alright to put it in this way I wonder. The feedback from the impact was quite normal for the strength I have used but the ball was weirdly light.
The feeling that the output carry of the ball was quite absurd still remains inside of me.*
(The consciousness of the two of them was also sent* to another realm after all)
[*Note:To send something flying and making a person lose consciousness in a dramatic way is described in the same way in Japanese using the Kanji 飛んだ.]
As I have hit the ball with all my strength, I do not know how far it was sent flying. As I have put too much strength into it, I had put a weird spin on it so there is a possibility that the ball had curved into a direction that it was never meant to.
Although it is also not known whether the two of them can come to their senses, the opponents the two of us were up against are assassins. There was probably no reason for us to hold back.
「That Chest Hair Pheromone guy, what did he say again? I who have a ranking can, what was it again?」
Chest Hair Pheromone who, as the following words go, got pushed over the limit by Cool-san on his belly. The thing that I took notice of was the words he murmured before he lost his consciousness.
「It is probably about his world ranking. If I recall correctly, he did say something like being a hundred and thirty-four in rank」
「Is that really amazing?」
The pondering expression on the face of Cool-san.
「I wonder about that. The people who are invited to the preliminary rounds of A-rank tournaments are people who are ranked within fifteen and below after all」
The Contest before God that the two of us participated in. If I recall correctly, that tournament is also an A-rank tournament.
The two of us who participated in the actual battle all of a sudden, I do wonder what in the world are we.
(It is because the person in charge is not all that strong thoughhh)
The middle-aged man who has a fierce face, who became the person in charge of me at the Merchant Guild.
He did also participate in the matches but he did not make it to a good spot in the tournament itself. This is because he lost the very first match he participated in. When I looked at that figure of his, I felt that he was not the sort of strong person who would be able to spread the name of the brothel out to the other people spectating the tournament.
With doubt in my mind, I told Cool-san about the said tournament.
「That is the Contest before God of the 『God of Commerce』. We have all participated in this tournament under the group known as the Merchant Guild. If you would like to participate in any other A rank tournaments, then there is an absolute need for you to accumulate points at a steady pace through your participation in the regional tournaments」
Cool-san will be convinced if I put it in this way. It seems like she had received quite a number of special treatments from various people in order to participate in the tournament.
When I was thinking about such things, a figure I am familiar with walks right towards me.
「Yoo Tauro-san. Is this a date I am seeing? Man, the air the two of you are letting out sure is hot」
Putting his hand a little distance away from his face, he does a motion as if he was imitating a paper fan, as he tries to fan himself to cool himself down. The pilot, who has a face that is a little ugly and a body packed with muscles, this very pilot is Corneal himself.
「I am glad that you are alright! Corneal-san!」
Unbeknownst to myself, the voice I let out was loud. I also had a surprised expression on my face.
「Alright? No no no that is the first thing you say? Would you not say that it should actually be about the temporary 『Adult Gourmet Club』? You gave up because you were late so you made this into a date is what I am thinking」
At this point, the Perverted Macho let out a creepy laugh.
「You are headed for a match right about now am I right? It seems like it is quite worth it for me to spectate this match. Will you not let me follow as an observer in order for me to keep as a future reference?」
Little by little, straight wrinkles start to form on the forehead of Cool-san. This is her form of a danger signal.
I panic as I try to change the subject.
「Being called over here by someone, did something of that sort not happen to you?」
「Eh? I came straight here from headquarters of the Knight Order. So I would say that there is nothing of that such」
Corneal probably does not see the intent behind my conversation, I see only bewilderment on his face.
We are in the same kind of situation I say.
Just like this, the curtains closed on the mysterious assault that we received without any of us knowing the meaning behind it.
The two unconscious people, who have been left behind in the private room of the restaurant. As I have left a message for the Merchant Guild, I think all that is left is to leave it to the Guild Chief, who would probably do something about this matter.
He is an extremely reliable boss when it comes to matters of this sort.
「Say, what in the world was that I wonder?」
We look up at the sky with no meaning in particular.
Even with the light from the entertainment district, we were able to see a number of stars up in the sky.
However, at a place that is different from ours, another battle was taking place, namely, in the restaurant located in the North of the entertainment district.
The stage moves from the battle at the entertainment district of the Royal Capital to elsewhere. It moves to the West, to Awoke.
The best brothel in this town, Elsailles.
The beauty who is the number one of Elsailles sits on the highest deck of the gallery.
(The number of people from the Empire has been increasing recently huh)
As she thinks of such a matter, the expression on her face becomes slightly clouded.
In order to prevent a line from appearing in the make-up on her face, she pays extra attention to maintain the expression on her face.
Her appearance is beautiful but that is the result of the extremely thick make-up on her face. The unevenness in her style is also all due to items such as a Corset and Pads.
Tauro, who has seen her remove all of her make-up and take off her clothes in the past. A comment from him on the Elder Lich went as such - she was a fearful existence.
(This probably cannot be helped as Landbarn, the city that is beside this one, has become a territory of the Empire)
The mountainous area at the West was a national border but it is different now. It is a distance that will take even the golem carriage, with its slow traveling speed, two days to travel.
Merchants do make it a point to stop over at that place making it seem like this is because it is on the way.
(It is a matter of the past, I do not even have a person among them who I remember)
Elder was at the Empire before this.
Just like she does now, she used her brainwashing techniques at the regional brothels to reign over those places.
However, she was found out little by little through the many trivial things she did and she barely escaped with her body intact.
「Onee-sama, I have seen a customer who has nominated you」
Just then, a single female walks closer to her. She is a member of the gallery.
When Elder Lich lifts her face up and stares at the lobby, she sees the figure of a middle-aged man who has a masculine body build that screams that he is an adventurer.
He is a manservant, who is born in the Empire, which she has recently taken control of.
「I understand, thank you」
Feeling the need to claim her tribute, a smile appears on the face of the Elder as she stood up from her seat.
