ep35 Avangard Tougi Taikai 3

preliminary finals, I versus Griiman.
Benkei, Basute, and after that there were many opponents that I won through, but this guy has a weird atmospher.
for the evidence, Griiman kept look at my sword, he was radiantly fascinated by it, i can't him as the person before.

"B Block preliminary finals, begin!"

"wait!"

as if blocking the signal he, it became a false start.
really, what do you want.
just when i thoughti have to wait for the match to begin, Griiman denied me by with his palm getting better of me.

"you may see me like this but i am a merciful man. Being defeated without knowing what my equipment does , you won't consent to it right?"

"why are you deciding by yourself that i will lose"

"don't get conceited by just defeating Benkei or Baste. those guys lost because they didn't have any proper equipments. really its amazing that they talk about being an A rank"

with his really extravagant sword Griiman came towards me.

"first is this, Ice dragon sword. a monster that lives  Far away to the north at <Breeze mountain>  the <Freezing Winter Dragon>, this sword is made from its fang. its sharpness is top class and more than that it has an ice magic effect."

just when i thought he put down his sword, then he poked his armor with his thumb.
is he possible going to explain all of his equipment.
Honestly i'm interested.

"this is hand-made by a skilled  armor craftsman, Shiromi Armor.
it will cut down the damage of whatever magic you use. And then lastly this necklace, it increases your health and more than that if you are in danger to a certain extent it will protect you." (TL: i can't find any english equivalent for the armor name 銀鏡 it seems to be a name -d-) (TL: about the necklace if you change the explanation to a game, it increase your HP and 1 auto-revive or will at least leave you with 1 hp when attack with a strong attack)

I who was fine with my Mithril Sword, there was a big difference between us.
The armor seems too hot to wear , but the sword is cool.
It seems more heavy than the Mithril sword but, its strenght might have a wide difference with mine.

"now then, should we start the match soon?"

"is it fine for me to attack now?"

"i won't allow you to do it but i will do it first!"

Griiman did a large waved his Ice Dragon Sword, then many ice pillars stretch out and attacke me. I wonder how hard that armor is?
not even looking at the ice things , i kick them away and then i tried hitting his chest with a little more power.
There was a metalic sound and at the same time there was a hole on it. (TL: lol)
it didn't only stop on the armor it also reached on his stomach.

"gubO!" (TL: its like the scenes in anime when someone hit the stomach blood comes out from their mouth)

Blood was coming out from his mouth while Griimon was blown away until out of the match field.
you can hear him and his armor fell at the same time.
The soldier rushed over and confirm something, afterwards Griimon was carried on a stretcher.

"Winner, Ryua! The representive from B Block has been chosen!"

"just what is with that, is she a monster?!"

"no isn't that just a trick? if you pay that Griiman a lot of money, he can even put up a losing game"

its not a trick.

"hm, it looks like all blocks had already decided on their representative. They will immidiately announce the Tournament line-up, so we have to wait until then"

The other Soldiers was speaking with each other, and the soldier that declare i won just suddenly went somewhere.
on the far-away block each winner from each block was there. there was no one on Tiferia-san's Block.

"oi, go up that wa~y!"

Seigel wave his hand and called me out.
The girls surround him make it hard to seem him so i want them to go away.
i thought about jumping to move but, inspite of that i ordinarilly walked.

/ / /

"Ryua-chin, you really did it! a nameless adventurer who is a girl advancing towards the finals in the tournamanet is a hot topic you know!"

it really seems to be the truth, there have been glances since earlier.
its seems that spectators and even also the adventurese, they were stealing glances peeking towards me.

"There are C rank that are participants but mostly they are defeated. I wonder just how many years since one has been chosen one"

"Me Me, isn't me ~ssho" (TL: this is Xinbu, most of his sentence has ssho might as well put it for a recognizable speech pattern -d-)

with his usual strange hip bending, the one standing there was Xinbu. (TL: hip bending........... anyway its supposed to be his hip bending back and forth -d-)
It was the person who came to kill Grundom. Even now I still can't believe that this guy is also an Adventurer.

"yo Xinbu, looks like you're not going to participate this year but what are you going to do?"

"Relax guys i'm different from you i've been busy -ssho. at any rate.................oops"

i wonder what he was going to say.
no, well, thats fine.
Talking with that guy is something that i don't want.

"if you are busy then should'nt you have any time minding us"

"an adventurer that has pass the season of his prime should originally not mind my business. the one i'm interested is that one"

he poured Gantetsu with a rash remark then he at pointed me underhandedly. (info: Xinbu always points finger with his palm facing upwards something like this "_o" )

"you, quickly raised your rank to A ~ssho. probably the tournament this time will only get you to reach B definitely"

"is that so? but if its like that, then Roel is............"

"he?"

did she just only notice Xinbu now, she drink already too much that i don't know how many cups are scattered their.

"I-i'm shocked -ssho........"

this that guy really got surprised?
no, for me i already got used to it but for those seeing it the first time will surely get surprised.

"thats right that right, if you are in a party with this botomless drinker then she can also raised to B. No matter how useless they are"

"ha?"

Did that guy specially come here to make a a fool of us.
but thanks to that i'm angry at that guy. i clenched my fist but Roel just gently raised her hand.

"its fine Ryua-chan. You don't have to mind me..........."

"well, at most it would be fine to have fun in the festival -ssho. just leave everything to us"

once again i don't properly understand what he said, then he hurriedly ran away.
really, i hate him.

"don't you hate him? however he is a A Rank placing 4th and had preserved it that way. His strength and achievements is not a lie. it just make you a little bit jealous"

"it makes you want to try to have a match against him someday right"

Seigel drank the juice he recieved from a girl while talking.
because of that i don't know if he was being serious on what he said.

"Thank you very much for waiting! just now the line up for the tournament has been decided! please look this way!"

Round 1
1st match
<Meteor> Nikka [A rank] (TL: they used parenthesis so i used brackets -d-)
VS
<Crusher> Hekaton [A rank]

2nd match
Ryua [C rank] (TL: kinda wana put <Angel> Ryua [C rank]
VS
<Heroine of the 100 Empires> Amane [A rank] (TL: her title is hard 百帝女傑)

3rd match
<Sky Crown> Rupee[A rank]
VS
Kweed[B rank] (TL:クイード pronounce as Kuiido)

4th match
<Master Knight> Tifelia[S rank]
VS
Ronoi[independent]

There was a big iron board with words coming out on it. (TL: imagine a big plasma TV)
My name was on it and even the name of other competitors.
My opponent is.........is it a woman?
I wonder what kind of person she is?

"hou, it seems that there is a B rank guy that was able to advance. Looks a rising star next to Ryua, korya" (TL: it actually said Supernova but i used rising star since it makes more sense  and the last part is like a impression something like "you lucky guy" this is just an example -d-)

it really is. There were people other than me who was not an A rank.
and Hekaton is that guy that  carries that huge hammer right.
somehow he was a guy with a detestable atmosphere.
He looks at people with cold eyes.............

"even so isn't it mostly A ranks. Ryua-chin being a C rank, that is a more prominent sight" (TL: that meant the a rank)

"after all they are the A ranks. they have a huge amount of experience compared to others. for someone like me who is at the 16th, of course i also went through hardships........."

"tell us! I feel like i heard about it for 6 timesbut i still want to know!"

it was only the girls around him that was attentively listening to what Seigel has been saying.I'm interested to hear it but going inside that to listend to him is something i don't want

"today, with this the first day of The Tougi Taikai ends! The finals will start tomorrow! well then, everyone i hope for you to rest well!"

With that announcent by the soldiers, the population inside the coliseum started to gradually decrease.
with the end of the preliminary round, i didn't notice it but it was already evening.

"well then, ryua starting from tomorrow it will be the actuall match. at any rate only at the finals that there will be more numerous spectators compared to this day who those only came to observe. And most of all the King of Avangard will also be here"

"The king will?"

"thats right, this is you chance, if you caught his majesty's attention, there is a chance that he will be please with you"

"To be liked by the king through fighting.............."

The King of Avangard.
I know that the King of this kingdom has the greatest position.
but, to be liked by him by only fighting is somehow wrong.

"It seems that the number of people here has become sparse. aa~~, its a night with a good air! i say a that it will be good to go with an alcohol!"

"Gantetsu-san, i will go with you!"

"me too!"

i wonder if Roel will also drink alcohol.
 no, she has a different goal.

"well then, Girl, good luck tomorrow!"

now that i think about it will cynthia also cam again tomorrow?
if thats the case then her shop is?

/ / /

when we were going back i was resltess but, we walked slowly as we returned.
even though its night its even more lively.
there was a a half-nake drunk person on the sidewalk, sleeping people, dancing people.
Roel was being enticed by the smell coming from a food cart.

"Ryua-chan, from all that fight aren't you hungry? in exchange for the evening meal lets just eat whatever"

"yeah, now that you said i'm starting to get hungry"

we went to the food cart using the Dark buffalo from the Kwau region as a Yakiniku.
The dark buffalo is more delicious than the pecking bird but.........i expectied it but when we entered it, Roel suddenly ordered 10 portions of food.

"Grilling it until its perfectly cooked, and then puting the excess sauce on it, so delicious"

"its becuase you grill it until its perfectly cooked and then putting excess sauce on it. that is way it is delicous"

I wonder why Roel said the same thing again. was she deeply moved by the deliciousness of eating the meat from this place?
I don't understand.

"Ryua-chan, Congratulations! this is celebration for Ryua-chan advancing in the tournament you know!"

"i-s that so......thanks"

even chewing the bone in the meat does not fit while saying that.

"Since we came up until here it has to be the championship! ...........ah, i'm not really putting more pressure on you"

"if possible i want to win it"

"if its Ryua-chan i'm sure you can, even today you won with only using a punch"

"yeah, but there is also Tifelia-san. if she becomes my opponent, i don't know what will happen"

"That rubby rubby person? so that person was Tifelia........i got little angry"

"eh?"

"i-its nothing"

Roel started to turn red and turned her face away. (TL: crap.......this is bad.......the sensors are acting up real high)
i wonder what happened? is it because its hot?

"Even from far away i felt something like an electric shock from her. Even though she was quite a gentle person"

Even from a far away Block , i was able to feel it.

-----S rank

it may just be what Seigel said, they might just be monsters. I'm sure that she is an opponent that up until now that i should'nt be going easy on. I ate the spare rib with Roel while i was thinking about tomorrow's matter.

"You will be killed you know! i'm saying this right now cause its a good time, so please withdraw"

The gazes all at once looked towards where the voice was. it was girl and a youngman seating against each other. the girl was the soldier that was guiding us before the preliminary.
Because of only her red hair, i was able to suddenly recall when she was hopping here and there because it left a big impression on me.

"That may be it but Ritta. I'm tentatively an A rank you know. i'll be fine so believe in me"

"Your opponent is that <Crusher> you know?! Last year in the tournament he was disqualified because he killed his opponent you know!"

"Don't you know what i'm being called. <Metor>,i go by that name. If you relate my fighting style to him, it has a good affinity. I'm not sure that i can absolutey not make a mistake but this time i'm really confident in myself"

"why are you going that far...........?"

Crusher's opponent was..................
<Meteor> Nikka.

"Most of all, i want you to watch me fight"

"i don't know anymore!"

Ritta ran out from the Food cart, and Nikka didn't particularly chase after her he only sighed.

"ah, you don't to worry that much because its not that much of a complicated infatuation. We are your siblings"

*hahahaha* he laughed while scratching his head.
even so it has become awkward, he paid the money and then he went out.

"Ritta-chan is worried about her brother's match..........but, i wonder what he meant the he wants her to see him fight?"

i undestand that she was worried about her brother. but, i think that the brother still feels he still wants to fight.
But even i won't stop participating in the match after going this far.
Much less since there is a few more left, i won't be withdrawing.

/ / /

"that sure was delicious"

"Roel this is bad...........our money is.........."

"that much is expected when you are in a festival"

i wonder whats with her being only strict managing the money.
but seeing Roel look so satisfied, there is alittle contradiction that i don't care anymore.

The Castle town was still noisy.
As expeced in this hour you can't mostly see any children. At most you can see is a girl stopping a fight between drunks


a girl?

ah, its Ritta.

"I will be holding of this fight so bufue!"

at the end she wasn't even able to declare it before they fought, the 2 of them just brushed her away.
but still not being discouraged she once again come in betwen them.

"with only that, it won't enough to stop it......."

"yeah, even i can't just watch here"

I thrust away towards Ritta to support her. i wonder if she hasn't notice that i have come to help her in her situation, she looking around restlestly at the surrounding. And then she finally noticed me.

"E, ah, umm sorry.........."

" I'll stop them so don't worry"

saying that i approach the 2 men.
The stink from the alcohol is making me dizzy. I wonder why adults drink such things.
I wonder why they end up like this.
It was full of thing that i don't understand.

"didn't you just bump on me! aren't you going to apologIZE! huh?!! does the young un these days not know any manners?"

"Old man you should just already retire, you're a hindrance"

just bumping on eacher other, such a trivial cause. it can't be help, i can't let this go in.

"hey old men, you're being a hindrance you know"

"So, just go away........oh"

since the one that stopped them was not ritta, they look like they were a little surprised. but, they didn't care and brush me, and thought that i should start.
I grasped his hand.

"owowowowowow! ouch please stop its going to breaak!"

"what with that crap, it hurst please stop ah ch~~~~aan!"

"both of you are a hindrance, stop your fighting and go away"

"yes yes" they nod then i released them.
the 2 persons not understand what just happened unsteadly walked and disappeared inside the crowd.
can they still be calm despite being that drunk.

"umm, sorry......." (TL: damn this words have 3 meaning, excuse me, sorry, and thankyou -d-)

"You shouldn't be doing something that dangerous"

"but, i should at least to be able to something like, since tentatively i'm a soldier from the casle......even that, even though everyone just laughs at me for not being able to do my job"

was she that desperate because of that.
did she feel that bad because i help here, tears were even coming out from her eyes.

"oi, Ritta"

I heard that carefree voice from earlier, it was Nikka.
was she worried about Ritta that she looked for her, it was opposite to what he usually was and was breathing heavily.

"are you alright? did those strange guys do something  to you? .............n"

"those strange guys" he said caught my attention, Nikka glance at us.
but when he saw me, his expression sudennly turned bright.

"ah, you are Ryua-kun right? you are that C rank the Surprising Girl!" (info: Buttobi Girl! in jp)

"Su-suprising?"

"you didn't know? since then you have been a hot topic in talks you kow. doing nothing but crushing the A ranks , there were talks about scouting you for a pary or for the guild"

"now that you said it, i have been seeing people glancing on me from the surrounding"

"They might have been being attentive towards the finals.
It looks like we will be fighting in the 2nd round but, please be gentle on me.............hahahahaha"

"thats why i kept saying that Onii-chan won't be able to win!"

it looks like it starting to continue from before, Ritta once again exploded regarding Nikka.
Nikka to go this far to know listen to what her younger sister is saying, why in the world does Nikka won't change regarding the Tougi Taikai?
He was different from me, it seems that he has another reason.
