Chapter 484
We were once out of the martial arts convention venue in order to calm down Erna, who kept crying.
Sitting on a bench in a lot of stalls installed, he hears a little bit about what's been going on from Erna.
"What, to the great river of Gau!?
"Yeah...... We went out on a bridge in Mismid, and the bridge was rotten, and suddenly it collapsed. Keep falling with Lynne..."
"Damn, are you hurt!? Were you okay?
Else, who was next to Elna, roughs up her voice worryingly. When she saw it, Erna laughed like she was in trouble.
"Yeah, that's okay. Because it didn't fall critical to the river. But we both dropped our smartphones in the river. So I can't reach anywhere..."
Uh... so?
Doctor's mass-produced smartphones are granted [sports] and [teleports], just as it's okay to be stolen or lost.
But I'm the only one who can use that to retrieve the smartphone, so I guess there was nothing we could do about it.
"If you think you need to get in touch with Brunhild somehow, listen to the martial arts tournament. I'm sure His Majesty the Beast King will come out, so I thought I'd get back to you from there..."
"Eh! Good luck with that! That's my daughter!
Muggy, and Else hugging her neighbor Elna, rubbing her cheeks. Erna is shyly red.
I see. This is just like Else and Lindsay, their mothers. If His Majesty the Beast King sees these children, he will not hesitate to contact me. Did you hear from me tomorrow even if I kept my mouth shut?
But you're in trouble. The mass-produced smartphone is hit with a serial number, and I collect that number more than ever, but I don't even know the number of the smartphone that was built in the future. You wouldn't even know who you had.
It's a hassle, but do I collect it later using [SEARCH]?
In front of me thinking about that, Su, who sat in the opposite seat to Else, was throwing questions.
"How old are Erna and Lynne?
"Uh, we're both seven. I'm your sister because I was born a month earlier."
When I hear it, Erna is like six women, and Lynne is like seven. Because Kuhn is three women, is there two of them in between? And two more under Lynne.
I don't know who Yumina or Lou, Su or Cherry Blossom are with, though.
Su and the cherry blossoms were about to ask about their own children, but Erna didn't try to cloud the words' Uh, you know... 'Apparently, it includes not talking too much to Grandma Toke.
Else, who sees her troubled daughter, shuts out the two questions. The two reluctantly seemed to give up, and Erna, freed from questioning attacks, was in a ho.
At the same time, I heard a lovely noise from somewhere, uhhhh...
When I see it, Erna is holding her stomach and turning red.
"Oh, you know, I hadn't had dinner yet..."
"Speaking of which, the straw was in the middle of lunch. Do you want to eat lightly here? Store owner! Three of those yakitori for the number of people!
"Aye!
Su placed an order with the stall owner. [Storage] I have as much food in it as I want, but food stalls hissing. It's just early to take it out and eat it here.
It's a festival, and if you don't eat it anyway, will you lose it? I'll take one of the roasted chickens that was transported right away and hand it to Lindsay, who was sitting next to me.
"Look, so is Linze"
"Ah, yes..."
Linze receiving it with a smile. He smiled just a little unwell, worried about his daughter Lynne, who is competing. Those eyes are directed at Else and Elna, who are holding each other.
"Don't worry. With all that skill, you can't beat that guy there. That's Lindsay's daughter."
"Thank you, cherry blossoms"
Linze smiled at the encouraging cherry blossom words. I mean, that kid, he has the strength of gold and silver rank... With that look, the qualifying is going to break through mildly, and if you suck, you're going to win... isn't that a little bad?
"I mean, the purpose is being achieved, and why don't you ask Lynne to abstain?
"Uh, Dad... I think that's hard"
Erna has spoken to me about it.... I feel a distance from Else compared to me. Come on, they don't hate you...? I just cried, so I want to believe you're just shy.
"Because Lynne loves these games and stuff. If I lost, I still think I would be terribly reluctant to stop along the way. Worst case scenario, I cry. I think I'm gonna cry a little bit if I lose..."
A child. It was a child.
I didn't care because Coon and Frey are grown up, but Lynne is like a childish kid.
"Hmmm...... For once, this tournament is hosted by Mismid. Moreover, the first tournament to be commemorated. Normal people in other countries still don't feel very good about Royal Officials appearing..."
Well, I'm not going to say, 'It's my daughter,' but if you look so much like Else and Lindsey, you're definitely going to think you're related. I know she's my daughter, but she's a relative, but in the end, it doesn't make a difference.
If you're going to lose the main game, there's no problem, but with that strength, you're going to win the finals lightly instead...
Muggle, it's complicated. As a father, I'd like you to win, but from the point of view of the king, that's a little troublesome.
Maybe as a mismid, you want people from your own country to win. It's more exciting.
"I mean, what is that power of Lynne? No attribute magic after all?
"Oh, yeah. That's right. [Gravity]"
Elna answers Else's question honestly. Ah...... So? Convinced.
I do it a lot, too. You're weighing and weighing your weapon at the moment of impact that hits the enemy. In Lynne's case, she can't be as heavily manipulated remotely as my smartphone, so I guess she's weighing the gauntlet she's touching to make it more powerful.
"Can I use magic in a game?
"He said if it wasn't magic or healing magic that directly attacked the target, it would be fine. Some people used [Tailwind] earlier, right?
Erna answers Su's question. [Tailwind]... wind magic that drives the wind and increases its own speed. I don't really use it. [M] There are things like [accelerator] and [boost].
Cherry blossoms ask Erna the same question.
"The one who jumps in Lynne's air is also magical?
"That's jumping with [Shield] as a scaffold. You look like you're jumping in the air because you're invisible..."
[Shield] Oh! I see, was there a way to use it...... [Shield] disappears quickly, but still holds for a second or two. Enough to scaffold and run through the air.... I'll try again.
Or what else do you have two [Gravity] and [Shield] unattributed......
If I thought so, Elna was more than that. They can use [Multiple], [Recovery], and [Boost] for everything. It's Else's pleasure to know you can use the same unattributed magic that you do. Ugh.
It's called Coon's [program], it's called Elna's [boost]... oh, if Yoshino could also use [teleport] that she's a cherry blossom daughter, I just think that this is inherited by attributeless magic after all. No, I inherited the other daughters' unattributed magic too... from me.
"So, what do we do about Lynne?
"I'll take you home with or without [teleport]"
"No, I don't know about that either..."
I show difficulty in suggesting that there is no cherry blossom or lid. And then gang, even if they cry, come on......
"If you lose, you're going home convinced, right? Why don't you ask His Majesty the Beast to just guess who's strong?
"Hmmm...... From what I've seen in the game earlier, I need someone so strong..."
"So [Mirage] and turn it into someone else, and I'll fight? Like Alice, Lynne seems to be my apprentice."
Else comes up with a hell of a suggestion, but is that an ant too...? I know you can screw me into His Majesty the Beast King or Mr. Graz the Chancellor......
"No, if Lynne is Else's apprentice, he could find out how to fight or something. I'll do it..."
"I'll do it"
"Huh?"
Everyone was Kyoton to Linze, who raised her hand small in the next seat.
"I was watching your sisters and I wanted to play with my daughter too"
No, play. Even if you laugh and say it like that, I mean, we're dating, right? How about my first contact with my daughter?
"But Linze would be a wizard? Can we fight without offensive magic?
"It's not about hurting them, it's about the rules of the game. Because that kind of training has been decent."
Sure, Linze has no noticeable strength compared to everyone else, but that doesn't mean she's weak. To be honest, I have a level of strength that I can't fathom in those adventurers. He has mastered ancient magic, synthetic magic, and spiritual magic in the [library] of Babylon.
Plus the power of a wedding ring from the gods of the world.
"Hey, Erna. Lynne's gonna have a little bit of an easy place to get on, right? This tournament is also called Easy Win, Easy Win! Didn't I say 'or something?
"Ugh, yeah. Wow, how do you know?
"Hehe. I know, because I used to hear it close to you when I was a kid too."
"Ri, Linze!? This, before the kids, before the kids!
Else roughs up her voice like she was in a hurry to make Linze's statement. I guess we send her gaze with raw warm eyes. You said...
"I was wondering how much my daughter was growing up and whether it was also my mother's job to confirm it. All right, Mr. Winter Night?
"No, I don't mind if Lindsay says so..."
There's no way I'm going to bump Linne out just for Lindsay. Like when Hilda and Frey played the game, I guess we just have to let them admit to losing without getting hurt...... there are some off-site losses, so is there anything they can't do?
Mm-hmm. I get an incoming call from a smartphone that was in my nostalgia that worried me. Is that it? It's from Mr. Graz, Mismid's Chancellor.
Yes, hello.
"Oh, Lord Brunhild, Your Majesty. Are you at Mismid's?
"Ah, yes. You understand very well, don't you?
'Ha. Because I saw His Majesty the King from the special viewing area. Why don't you come over here, if you don't mind?
It is true that where Mr. Graz is, VIP seats are built partly high. I can see us from there a lot. Oh, Mr. Graz is a bird beast, and you have good eyes.
Why don't you go because you asked me out? Let's talk about this.
◇ ◇ ◇
"Is that it? Erna, I don't have a sister...... I was wondering if you were picking flowers?
Lynne peeks at the venue through the window of the modelroom. I don't have a sister my age who was there until earlier. I'm just a little nervous that something is going on. It's really inconvenient without a smartphone.
Each winning contestant was focused in each way for the game, resting, stretching and meditating in the modem room.
Twelve have won out, including Lynne. Two of them were injured, so now they were going to the infirmary.
Recovery magic and not omnipotence. Sometimes if you get hurt badly, you can drop out. Because the blood you lose won't go back, and you won't recover to your health.
If there are those who resign, there will be those who will not be victorious and will be victorious. Lynne didn't even care, but the majority of these seemed to wish for the resignation of the injured contestants.
I'm not here, but in addition to the twelve who won, there are four more contestants as a nomination frame. In other words, a total of sixteen will now contend for the victory, but what a king of this country, the Beast King Jamca Blau Mismid, was in the nomination frame.
If you stop in the eyes of the king, the servant is not a dream either. Nor could it be compelled for contestants to wish for the resignation of their rivals.
Eventually the door of the stall opens with chatter and three figures come in. One is the Judge of the Beast who progresses the game. The other was a contestant youth who was going to the infirmary. And the other one was someone no other contestant had ever seen.
"Since Lord Bail, the Qualifying Breaker, has been abstained, we are now adding one as a new nomination frame. This is Lord Lynn Lynn."
"Lynn, it is. Thank you…"
Lynn Lynn and the person she was introduced to tried to pepper and bow when she greeted her in a small voice. Apparently, the undefeated frame is gone.
She is about sixteen or seven years old and is a girl with three braids of blonde hair. He had a short cane with a star-shaped cane head on his hip and a yellow star-shaped badge shined on his left chest as well. It is not equipped with armor, with a black Gothic top and tiered skirt, and feet stiffened with black knee socks.
She is a girl who at a glance can tell she is a wizard type. As direct magic attacks are prohibited in this martial arts tournament, the participation of wizards is rare, but not zero at all. The fact is, some of the qualifying breakthroughs here also use magic.
"Now, Lord Lin Lin, to the modest room in the recommendation frame."
"Ah, me, this way is fine, it is. 'Cause they get nervous over there."
…… Really? Well, I don't mind. "
The referee's youth thought only a little odd, but beyond is His Majesty the Beast King. I reconsidered that I was nervous and afraid I wouldn't be able to show strength.
I guess strength is certain because it is a recommendation from the Chancellor, Lady Graz, but it will be difficult for a wizard to win this tournament. He decided he wouldn't mind letting the modem room or so free so he could at least fight carelessly.
"Then please wait a while longer for the contestants"
That's what the referee's young man said, leaving the understatement. Everyone's attention will be drawn to the girl who named her Lynn Lynn, but her reactions have been varied since then. Those who lose interest because they decide to be wizards, those who, on the contrary, become vigilant and stare at them, those who care but turn away from their gaze, etc.
Not only one girl stared, but she stared at Lin Lin as she tilted her neck. It is Lynne.
"Hey, what is it?
"Hmmm......? Uh, sister, have you seen me anywhere?
"What!?, I think it's the first time!?
"Oh...? Then it's your fault. Well, no. Why don't you sit over here?
Hit next to the bench where Lynne is sitting with her bread. As Auntie and Lynn sat there, Lynne next door laughed and offered her hand.
"I'm Mochi... Oh, uh, I'm called Lynne! Nice to meet you, sister!
"... Nice to meet you, Lynne"
He was Lynn Lynn, smiling and casually holding the hand offered, but in his heart he was desperately enjoying his heart bouncing and about to scream.
◇ ◇ ◇
"Phew, phew! Lovely! Lynne, lovely! This child belongs to me and Winter Night......! So, I don't know if I can hold him...! My daughter... About being too cute...
Lynn Lynn, things, Lynze, who had changed her appearance with her transformation badge, was screaming from the top of the cliff in her heart. It is a tension max to my own daughter who finally sees me.
The envy I had for my sister until a while ago blew up beautifully. This is irresistible. Cuteness is justice.
"Is your sister a wizard?
"Ugh, yeah, I am. Is that weird?
"Yeah! My mother's a wizard, too. So I know how powerful the wizard is. But I'm the one who wins!
"Oh, wow..."
Heh heh, and he's also cute to speak that way in a strong way. He was Lindsay, desperate to loosen his expression by accident.
"Lynne's mother is a wizard, too."
"Yeah! Your mother's not, she's amazing! We can do magic, we can make clothes, we can cook! Because you can do a lot of things!
Linze was listening with her eyes narrowed as Lynne spoke as hard as she did about herself. Say what you wanted to hear in the course of the story.
"Ri, does Lynne like your mother?
"I'm scared to get angry sometimes... but I love it. She always talks a lot to me when I go to bed.... I'll see you in a little while. Elna, I'm going to see your sister. Then..."
The last one was a small, lonely voice. Linze hugs Linne like that all the time.
"Sister...?
Lynne looks up at Linze with a strange face. Hacked Linze frees Linne. I held him unconsciously. They must have thought it was weird. I have to do something to deceive you, and Lindsay runs an excuse for awkwardness.
"Oh, I'm sorry! Well, yes, I looked like my sister, so...!
While I think it's a painful excuse, I manage to fix the spot.
"Does your sister have a sister, too? I have one too. And my brother."
Linze strokes her chest down, apparently deceiving Linne, who grinned and replied so to.
When Lindsay tried to find out about his sister and brother because of this moment, Gachari and the modem door opened again, and two earlier referees and Mismid soldiers came in.
"Thank you for waiting. Thank you for choosing a match table. I'll call you when it's time, so wait here until then."
Paste the match table the two soldiers brought to the wall. The contestants stood before them, confirming those who might be going to fight after them if they beat their own opponents.
"Ah! It's my opponent, my sister!
Sounds like it.
I asked Graz, Mismid's prime minister, to do this, so I'm not surprised Linze. Of course, even if Lindsay wins, she's going to resign for whatever reason she's injured. I can't beat my daughter for that.
"That's a battle! Your sister's a wizard, so why don't we give her a little credit?
"... Lynne, your sister is probably just as strong as Lynne's mother, so if you're sparing her, she'll tear you under your feet, right?
That's what I said with the intention of paying attention to Lynne, who's still looking lightly at her opponent somewhere, but she was visibly grumpy with 'uh-huh'. I'm a little anxious to hear that you've hurt your pride, Linze.
"... it's a lie. No one is as strong as your mother but our family! Sister, it's easy for me to kill you!
Oh, that way? and Linze's eyes dot. I am so admired and happy as a mother, but there still seems to be somewhere down there looking at them. But, well, Linze smiles because she's a child. That's the type my own sister was. I miss it and it leaks laughter.
Lynne turned away from Lynze, puffy, and put her arms together, slowly tying her mouth into a single letter. Maybe he felt like he made fun of his family for once.
But even that fuzzy attitude makes Linze seem adorable. It was a strange feeling, no doubt this child seemed to be his own.
"Then it's a fight."
"You can't lose!
My mother and daughter exchanged their eyes with each other, with their thoughts in their hearts.
