◈ 284. [Side Story] Martial Arts Tournament
When Lily, who was drunk and unconscious, suddenly came to her senses, she was on God Hand’s back.
‘uh?’
I wondered if I was dreaming because I was drunk for a moment, but I wasn’t.
Lily leaned on God Hand’s broad back, and God Hand carefully carried her across the city.
‘omg! What! what’s this!’
Lily almost screamed in surprise, but
“Lily? Are you awake?”
When God Hand turned around and asked, he hurriedly closed his eyes and continued pretending to be drunk and asleep.
“Um… … Hiccup, god hand fool… … .”
While secretly spilling drowsy talk mixed with her true intentions.
“… … .”
God Hand, who looked at Lily with pity, fixed Lily on her back and started walking slowly forward again.
“I’m sorry, Lily.”
An apple flowed from God Hand’s mouth.
Lily almost groaned. Do you know that she should be sorry?
“that… … I’m sorry to say this, but it’s my first time dating… … There will be a lot of immature things. After our kingdom was destroyed, I was in a hurry to survive, so I hadn’t even thought about dating.”
“… … .”
“My unit members are younger siblings who only followed me, so I will continue to take care of them. Maybe it will make Lily-sama hard in the future.”
Lily’s arm, which was wrapped around God Hand’s neck, was suddenly full of strength.
Should I choke? No, bear with it, the flame wizard inside me… … . Lily managed to resist her urge, then let out her breath.
“But, that, thinking of Lily-sama is really… … no see. So, I really… … .”
“… … .”
Lily pricked up her ears.
really? really what?
“Whoa… … This is not it.”
God Hand let out a long sigh.
“I lived thinking that I was good around words, but why is there so no peripheral hair when it comes to dating… … .”
“… … .”
“I’m glad Lily-sama is asleep. If you’re awake, I’m embarrassed… … You couldn’t even practice.”
Wake up, you son of a bitch! awake!
Lily pursed her lips and trembled. no, good Let’s pretend you’re asleep! Then tell me more about your true feelings! Let’s go hot!
“… … .”
However, God Hand looked back at the sleeping (pretending) Lily one more time, then quietly kept his mouth shut and moved on.
Lily’s accommodation was inside the alchemy workshop. It was because her alchemist’s guild made accommodations for her because of her crippled legs.
God Hand walked into the dorm without hesitation.
Not knowing that Lily’s heart was pounding, God Hand carefully lowered her onto the bed and covered her with a blanket.
And God Hand sat on the side of the bed and looked down at Lily, who was pretending to be asleep.
“… … .”
His face got closer and closer.
Pretending to be asleep, her eyes were tightly closed, but Lily, who had become sensitive, felt his breath approaching.
‘What, what is it? Come on, kiss me? Wanna kiss? Wow!?’
Lily is waiting patiently,
“… … What is buried?”
God Hand reached out and indifferently removed something (perhaps a drink) from Lily’s hair, then stood up.
“Sleep well, Lily. see you tomorrow.”
Then, with a kind smile, he was about to leave Lily’s room.
“Yumma-!”
Eventually, Lily exploded.
Lily raised her upper body, stretched out her arms, and wrapped her arms around God Hand’s neck from behind. The suffocating God Hand looked behind him in fright.
“Lily, Lily?! When did you wake up… … .”
“sense! You really don’t notice, you! Aaaaaa!”
“Hey! Lily! I can’t breathe… … .”
“Oxygen is a waste for a dating fool like you!”
Udangtang! Kuwagwang-!
From Lily’s room came the sound of something rolling violently, God Hand’s scream, and the grand sound of fire magic exploding.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The Alchemist Guild Leader and Vice President, who were drinking in the workshop next door, nodded calmly and poured each other’s drinks.
“Good times.”
“It’s a festival. festival.”
pop! Pervert!
Aaaaaaaaaa… … .
God Hand’s heartbreaking agony soon faded.
The first night of the Fall Festival was passing like this.
***
next day. barracks.
I came here from the morning to observe the martial arts competition.

“hmm… … Is it because of my mood… … .”
I broke out in a cold sweat watching the people crowding the streets.
“Something… … Looks like a lot of people… … .”
Even with a cursory glance, it seems that there are more citizens than the number of citizens seen in the city of Crossroads yesterday. What’s happening?
Damian, who had followed me, yawned and answered.
“Did you not know, Prince? It seems that the Wintersilver guild promoted the Crossroads Festival to nearby cities.”
“what? Is it real… … ?”
“yes. It’s a martial arts competition from today, so it seems that people from nearby cities started to watch it in earnest from today.”
That’s why the number of tourists suddenly increased.
At the serenade’s ignorant action, I stuck my tongue out. When did they advertise again?
Martial arts competitions are held in the gymnasium inside the barracks. Around the gymnasium, the audiences who came earlier were sitting like clouds.
My seat was reserved for the best seats. Long live the lord’s power.
I made a seat next to him, and Demian sat down, and I sat in my seat and looked around.
“But what about the other kids in our party? Where have you been?”
“Juju-nim said she drank too much yesterday and took a break. Lady Evangeline was a participant in a martial arts competition, so she went to prepare… … .”
As we were having such a conversation, a soldier approached and handed us a piece of paper. It was the soldier at the reception desk for the martial arts tournament I saw yesterday.
“My lord, here is the list of participants for today’s competition.”
“Ah, thank you.”
When I glanced over, I saw a ton of familiar names. Many of my heroic characters participated in the battle.
“Did you covet the martial arts competition prizes so much… … ?”
As I muttered, the mercenaries sitting around me nodded in unison.
“Unlimited use of stalls for 5th to 8th place? I can’t stand it!”
“For third and fourth place, the Winter Silver upper prize gift certificates are worth as much as cash!”
“Second place is the right to make a full set of equipment?! If you put up with it even after seeing this, you can’t be called a mercenary!”
“Um… … But you guys secretly skip over the first prize?”
These guys, I’m only talking about the products under them. If I win, I get a chance to be my knight?
However, when the story of first place came out, the mercenaries woo woo woo! It made a noise and booed.
“There is no need for a first place honorary award!”
“All we want is tangible material rewards!”
“Perhaps the final is not a battle to see who withdraws first?”
“Kyaaaaagh! These guys!”
I shuddered at the mercenary’s honesty like a mercenary. You guys! I remembered the face! See you later!
While we were talking like that, the opening match began. Let’s see the opening match players… … .
‘Lucas?’
I saw Lucas standing on one side of the gymnasium. Of course, the opening game is you!
“… … oh.”
Lucas, who made eye contact with me, looked embarrassed and lowered his head in silence. Feeling awkward for no reason, I scratched his chin while making a sound like uhhhh.
Lucas’s opponent was one of the N-rank heroes belonging to our frontline sub-party.
He raised his fist in front of his chest with a tense face.
No weapons are allowed in this martial arts competition. All wooden weapons, as well as magic and skills, are all sealed with a special magic circle.
only pure flesh.
Fight fist-to-fist.
If you surrender, ring out, or go down twice, the gameset is intact.
Even though it was a tournament with a strong event nature, the priests were still waiting right next to the gymnasium in case of an emergency.
“Yang players, get ready!”
Ader, who came out as referee, shouted loudly. I was wondering what to do during the director festival, and he was hanging out here.
Lucas and his opponent stood at both ends of the gymnasium and bowed their heads lightly to show their respect. Ader shouted, snapping his hands down.
“start-!”
Taat!
Lucas, who hit the ground first, rushed forward.
Boooooong-!
Lucas rushed forward with ignorant momentum, thrusting his fist forward. His opposing mercenary was frightened and rolled on the floor, barely avoiding the fist.
Tuhak-!
A wind rose from the tip of Lucas’ deflected fist.
Not joking, for real, the wind whistled along the trail of the fist. The hair of the spectators watching was disheveled in an instant.
I gaped. hey! If that’s right, a few weeks of transposition will come out!
“Ha, surrender! I will surrender!”
The opposing mercenary, whose complexion was pale, immediately raised both hands above his head and withdrew.
Lucas silently lowered his fist and let go of his fighting stance.
“victor! Sir Lucas!”
Ader grabbed Lucas by the arm and jerked it up.
oh oh oh!
clap clap clap… … !
The audience started clapping in unison.
The match was decided in an instant, but thanks to the huge impact of the wind that just passed, the atmosphere in the audience was satisfied.
“… … .”
Lucas nodded at me and then went down the aisle.
I crossed my arms and nodded. I hope you win what you’ve already participated in, Lucas.
The progress of the martial arts competition was rapid. Right after that, the next game was ready. The next player was also a familiar guy.
Perhaps the most advantageous martial artist class in this martial arts tournament rule.
It was the bandit king Kuylan.
“Quilan!”
Seeing the tall, red-haired man warming up on top of the gymnasium, I exclaimed in amazement.
“Why are you participating?”
“The gift certificates at the top of Winter Silver are the same value as cash, right?”
Quylan grinned and unclenched his fists.
“I have to save money and get my hometown back! Ha ha ha! 3rd and 4th place is mine!”
No, ask me to aim for first place, please!
And the one who came up against Quilan… … huh?
It was a small-sized girl wearing a robe.
‘Who is it?’
Looking at the small girl’s body, I broke into a cold sweat in embarrassment. You look smaller than Evangeline? who is this?
The martial arts competition is a place where anyone can participate as long as they can prove basic military power. That girl must have passed the minimum standard.
However, in front of the muscular Quilan, who was over 2m tall, the small and slender girl seemed unmatched.
“Hey, kid. How about abstaining? I have no interest in beating children.”
“… … .”
Despite Quylan’s warning, the girl remained silent. Quylan smiled bitterly and took his martial arts stance.
“I can’t help it. I’ll try to subdue you as gently as possible, but don’t cry because it hurts… … !”
The match has begun.
Jjaeok-!
After stepping on the advance, Quylan rushed in front of the girl with terrifying momentum. He seems to be thinking of ending the game at once.
The girl who was motionless in front of him slowly reached out her hand and put her fingers together…
f*ck!
I hit the forehead of the rushing Quylan and flicked my fingertips.
OK.
“Kwaaaaah-?!”
Quylan rushed in and fell in the opposite direction. What are you?!
Quylan’s huge body floated in the air and rolled unsightly on the floor.
When the rolling giant stopped, Quylan’s face was revealed, fainting with foam at the mouth.
‘A one-shot cut?!’
I opened my mouth in amazement.
No, no matter how much it is in human mode, even if it is Kuylan, the sunfish in the ‘glass body’ state. Does it make sense to fly like this with one light gesture from such a little girl?
Moreover, the gymnasium is now sealed against the use of magical power. Making quillan that shape with a simple finger flick?
wheein-
At this time when everyone in the audience is frozen in this unexpected situation.
The girl’s hood came off with a shock wave from the snap of her fingers.
A silver crown rested on black ebony-like hair that flowed down the hood, and beneath it, a pair of amber eyes radiated a playful light.
Eyes with vertically slit pupils like reptiles.
Dragon Eye.
“Aha.”
A mischievous laugh leaked from the girl’s mouth, revealing sharp teeth like those of a shark.
“Isn’t the festival in a foreign country quite fun too!”
