ep33 Avangard Tougi Taikai 1

Going outside from the inn , The Town has changed.
Flashy, showy, busy. (TL: fun fact the first 2 words can mean gay)
why does it feel like that?"
Along the streets there are shops, shop, shops lined up. (TL: it rreally said 3 shops-d-)
There was a tent prepared where there is someone like a fortune teller, and a shop emitting a a sweet delicious smell, here and there, there were many shops havine some kind attractions. (TL: attractions doesn't really mean the attractions of an amusement part imagine an imaginary fantasy world festival -d-)

"spit-raosted Pecking bird! 20G per piece! how about it?!"

"poporushiroppukaki shave ice! how about one?!" (TL: naming attempt Poporu kaki syrup Shaved ice OTL)

"Paparando's region specialty, Squid Ink Tentacles Yakisoba, you can only eat it right now!"

from what all of those various shops are trying to advertise all at once, i totally don't understand it.
when i was walking i was called by a frantic voice, i have a bad feeling about the one approaching me.(TL: 歩いていると必死に声をかけられて、寄って上げないと悪い気がする。)
and then Roel right now, was occupied holding food with both of her hand that she can't eat right now in her situation.

"Ryua-chan, carry this one"

while i have the Squid ink Yakisoba, she was eating the shaved ice and ten of the spit-raosts.
And then when i thought that its already finished,  there was already a next target.
its difficult to a walk because there are a lot of people, but something like this feels fresh.
when i was still at the village i was never able to at least do one step away from the village, thats this world only keeps surprising me.

Suddenly, a found a shop that took my attention.
If you drop a  merchandise from a distance with a toy bow, it seems you can recieve that merchandise. (TL: its like the shop where you use a toy gun to hit stuffs but since guns don't exist in the world[probably] they used toy bows instead -d-)
is that all you need to do?
Yosh, i'll do it!

"something this simple.........tei!"

The arrow totally missed the merchandise with a large margin
once more!

"I want that sword <Ice Brand> ! Roel, I will do it!!"

i thought that i can hit it because the target is big, but this time the bow was broken.

"t-t-t-.......this, I'm very sorry"

"no its fine, i have prepared for this so don't worry. though Ojou-chan, you sure have a terrible aim....
roughly more than 5 years, this shop had been put out, but i haven't seen something like that you know"

"after all its because Ryua-chan is purely strength" (TL: roel said this in a teasing manner)

Roel declared it nonchalantly while chewing the Gold apple candy on her both arms. (TL: it basically apple candy you see in anime during the festival but this one is gold) ((TL: i don't know how much candy she is carrying with both of her hands considering she ate 10 spit-roasts but it has to be at least 2 -d-)
in the end, i challenged it for 5 times but i wasn't able to hit it even once.
it was so mortifying that i was about to cry, the old guy seems to symphatize with me and gave me 1 recovery item as a service.

"Using a bow sure is hard.............
Mai is amazing for being able to hit moving monsters"

"Ryua-chan, beside the swords you are totally hopless........"

i was once stabbed deeply by her words. (TL: its like those scenes in manga and anime where the words peirce trough them -d-)
By the way Roel also challenged it 2 times, and was able to hit an item with an magic ice effect and a royal jelly.
The Royal Jelly was already deep inside Roel's stomach.
possibly Roel might have a talent of using Bows.
I thought about it slight that if she seriously practice it, wouldn't her ways of fighting increase.

"Hi~, those 2 lovely girls over there! Why don't take a look at my shop for a while!"

Just as what she had declared yesterday, Cynthia put up a shop.
if you look at it proplery, there are recovery items, Royal jelly, and things that i have no idea what its used for, was line up in a row.

"Cynthia-san, what kind of shop is this?"

"A shop for adults"

"oh, so a shop for adults"

"ku! i was expecting a situation where your face turned red, You Pure person" (TL: Ryua is an angel!!!)

"what an adult's shop?" (TL: innocence combo 2x XD)

There are times when i don't get  what Cynthia is saying.
whenever i ask about it she evades the topic, since there isn't something that looks like a food here, roel wasn't that much interested in it.
with an only one execption that is the royal jelly.

"Royal Jelly, for a cheap price its 200G each!"

"expensive..........Ryua-chan lets got that way"

"w-what?"

Cynthia expecting Roel to buy, Roel just turned away and pulled my hand.
its seems that finance is more important than her appetitie.
but hasn't she been eating food here and there. i wonder its going to be fine?

"Ah, thats right. the Tougi Taikai!"

"waaaaa! thats right, c-can we still make it?!"

"it will be 20 more minutes.........."

"If we walk we won't make it...........that's right!"

I carried Roel on my back.

"w-w-what, Ryua-chan!"

Roel clinged on me, and then I jump to the roof of an house.
I jumped from roof to roof aiming for the castle.

"W-whats that?! is the a festival show?!"

"ama~~~zing!"

"embrace me!" (TL: this line is so weird very weird very very very weird, but its seems funny XD)(TL: it really said that -d-)

The people below was looks like they were cheering but i don't have time to think about that.
"embrace me" i totally don't understand what the meant. (TL: fun fact the embrace me here can also mean "lets have *evil grin*")
Roel was tightly holding on me while she was keeping quiet.

"Ryua-chan, its embarassing"

"wait a bit we will be there soon........."

we reach the castle in about 5 minutes.
just landing before the 2 soldiers, they were surpised at me and brandished their weapons. (TL: they didn't attack -d-)

"y-you people are?"

"I'm entering the Tougi Taikai"

"s-so thats it. If you are participating go to the left entrace"

The soldier said the directions, if you are a participants or if you are a spectator.
There was a fence for dividing them, on the way a long line was forming.

"um, please don't break the li~ne! please don-  mugi!"

there was a femal soldier that was being swallowed up by the crowd while frantically guiding them.
with that short built, it seems it would be serious if you are pushed.

"ah, are you a particant?! the way to the entrance is- Gyu!"

while she trying to guide is she was once again nearly swallowed by the crowd.
You can only see her light red hair that has kept popping out of the crowd.
the other soldiers drag her out and was somewhat doing a sermon on her.
The girl modestly hanged her head.

"I wonder if she is the same age as us? nevertheless whats up with the soldiers here"

"she sure was scolded........it seems serious"

"do your best" i was thinking, i seperated from roel and walked the route for the participants. The waitng room is alread overflowing with participants.

"thinking about its, its the prelimary round right"

"Yo, just as i thought you came!"

Metal rod-something was here. The broken weapon from yesterday was now repaired.
no, its only just a new one.

"at that time my stomach was acting up, so don't get too conceited!
Look! its just right exactly at preliminary contest's B block"

"B block? whats that?"

"a-aah?"

*sink* Metal rod whatever was on the ground. (TL: this scene is like the part where you fall over due to the airheadness -d-)

"ah, my name is written. is this place the right one?"

"y-yeah"

"what is this net looking thing that is drawn there?"

"listen up. isn't your name written here. on the other side this Benkei is written. in short your first opponent will be this guy.
If you win against this guy, then you will fight the person who won at that place"

"he~~~"

"no, did you participate without even knowing that"

"When i was still a kid, at the village something like wasn't there so i totally don't know about this. and since my father and mother is already dead............."

"I-Is that so...........i'm sorry"

suddenly Metal rod whatever became kind. i wonder where the wild part of go when i met him at the beginning.

"You don't need to worry that much. you are Ryua right, unfortunately your opponent will be this Benkei." (TL: i totally don't get this line, he said not to worry and said unfortunately?!! -d-)

behind us, a young looking person carrying a lot of weapon in his back and  weaing muffler on his shoulder. was standing.
he was wearing a baggy armor, it looks so sweltering in it.

"geh! A rank <thousand Devices> Benkei!"

"are both of you C rank? its that fault of this tournament for not declining amatuers. If you are just trying out your strength , get out"

"even with so many weapons you won't become strong you know"

"w-what did you say...........! you, don't you know Benkei the one that uses Thousand weapons!"

"you too, did you also forget your crushing defeat last year"

On Benkei's should, a hand was place on it, it was Hekaton.

"He-hekaton........."

"Isn't it , Hekaton-san? you low ranking A rank"

"u..........."

Hekaton came and butt in in our Conversation, for some reason the area around us turned quiet and stared at us.

"So are you the one called Ryua?"

"I-I am"

Hekaton suddenly faced towards me.
it sure is a big body, but compared to largness Grundom is bigger.

"................so Seigel lost to such a kid.
The A rank sure has fallen"

"Wait, just now what........"

"We will begin the Preliminary round. for all those appearing the first match in each block please go this way"

A Soldier announced it with a loud voice. the first one is.............a, its me.

"Now then, lets start digesting the match"

Benkei looked at me and laughed at me like i was a fool.
i don't know what he meant by "digesting the match", but i know that he was making a fool out of me.
yosh, i'll make you see..........

/ / /

its seems that the contest grounds has been specially set up, it a colossium set up away from the castle
the spectator was sitted circularly around us, it seems that they are watching us fight like it was a sport.
From Block A to B they had their even had their own subdivision, and from there they started their preliminary round.

"Block B first match will start. Whenever you opponents will give up that ends the match, Killing will lead to Disqualification."

"Ryua-chan! Good lu~ck!"

"Ryua-chan! Fight!!"

I could even here Cynthia's voice. i wonder what happened to her store.

"Seigel-san, please give me yout Sign!"

"please shake my hands! please!" (TL: this line actually said, "handshake! handshake!" -d-)

"now now, its not that i will shot you guys out. but i only have 2 hands, this hand is for handshake, and the other one is for the sign" (TL: it wasn't specified left or right -d-)

A group of girls spectating made a fuss around seigel's seat.
i want him to go away cause its distracting.
though, why isn't seigel going to participate.

"are you sure you have the time to be looking away"

on one benkei's hand he was holding a sword and the other was a spear, he was already in a stance.
i wonder if will be using that many weapons on his back.
but, to a degree one can only hold 2 at a time, aren't the others just useless.

"I have one thing to teach to you, a strength of an adventurer.
I won't use that much power for you not to get killed, but this match is just exactly what i need.
I will be teaching you that"

"now then! battle start!" (TL: its actually match start, but battle start sounds more games like and cooler)

"its sad but just think of this as an experience"

at the same time of the signal, as if not getting near me used his spear to approach me, he  brandished it and at times it was a thrust he used.
its too sloppy that it doesn't feel like its even grazing me.
lazyily avoiding it Benkei more or less got irritated.

"It seems that you just kept running away?! thats all i can think of you right now! just how will you approached me! but too bad!"

as if showing of he flicked the sword on his right hand.
somehow if i was able to to get cloes to him it seems he will use that sword to strike me.

"and furthermore!"

when i thought that he threw the sword to the air on his right hand, from the back he took a circular weapon and threw it towards me.
it was sharp circular blade, it curved while aiming towards me.

"then further more the moonring blade, there more! take that!"

all at one 3 moonring blades attacked me.
in addition to that he his coming to attack with this spear.

for him to be this good it seems thas put considerable effort to be able to handle this.
he is skillfull, but that is only the impression that i hold towards that person.
he changed his movement to acrobatics to lessen the distance.
i wonder if they are enjoyinh it, the spectators were shouting getting excited.
The moonring blades that he realeease , and then the sword he threw to the air fell down and Benkei catched it.
"there is no escape" is what he may have thought.
just before the spear and the moonring blade hit, i moved from the flank of his spear to his back.
he totally didn't notice it from that speed.
the moonring blades fell on the ground
The opponent that was supposed to be on his front was suddenly beside him, he was one tempo late to notice it.
But i waited untill he was able to notice this. (TL: damn, ryua is really showing off this time)

"so that it, so the only weapons you have was only for that purpose"

"w-what, just when?!"

he turned towards me and then lost his balance.

"but, i also came to to fight not to lose. no, i'm just more stronger"

turning around to Benkei's back, i lightly striked hi neck.
*jolt*, benkei flinched, he didn't make any noise as fell down from his place.
up until now they were getting excited, but now the area around B block went silent.

"Ryua-chan! congratulation!"

"well, after all its just this much"

"behold, just as i anticipated from something from that girl.just before she becomes beatiful, being unripe is also good, its a fruit at that place but it is steadily growing" (TL: this is Seigeil exaggerating, used too many flowery words becoming too hard TL seigel i hope you get dumped by your fans -d-)

that last part is annoying.
Roel and Cynthia were the only one cheering maintainin the tension from before.

"l-let's see............ B block 1st match......... the victor is Ryua!"

at the same time, the crowd had once again got excited.

"geh! just whats with that! isnt that completely unexpected! I bet a full amount on Benkei you know!" (TL: pft)

"A dark horse is HEEEEEEEEEEERE!!"

I didn't properly understand and hear what they said but at any rate everyone was surprised.

"that girl, she didn't even draw her sword you know........?''

"by any chance did Benkei lose on purposed on that guy? now that i think about it, for a moment he stopped"

"haa?! of course that right! return my money!!"

"well then , next on, the 2nd match will start!

is it fine to go back to the waiting room.
but i want to see other peoples match.
i won't be a hindrance you know, i'll just be watching from a corner.

"Yo, just as i thought Ryua will also be participating"

"a, Gantetsu-san?!"

At the spectator seat , gantetsu appeared.
"heighh ho" he said while sitting beside Roel.

"So you came here at Avangard Imperial Capital. if you had called me, i would have even arrange a cheap inn for you"

"eh, seriously?"

It should have been Cynthia's first meeting with him, she was already getting familiar with him.
or maybe they are acquaintances?

"oh, its the girl from at Kwimill Item shop. what, I'm an A rank something like that is easy to do"

"but we don't even know where Gantetsu-san was living..........."

"oops, now that you say it you're right! gahahahahahaah!"

"is Gantetsu-san not going to participate?"

"I'm not even young anymore. and also there are the Champion canditdates, still its though lining up for that for me"

just now, I didn't notice it but in the Fight at the B block Metal Rod whatever has already been down and defeated. just when...........

"B block 2nd match, The victor is Baste!"

"fufu, someone who muscle for brains, with my weakening magic i can easily seal you, Gentlemen fighting is all about brains you know"

it was a person wearing a circular eyeglasses, and  a magician's clothes, That person exaggerately waved his robe and faced towards the audience showing off.

" <The sealer> Baste. he doesn't rely on attack magic , a technician that supresses them. his strength is around an average A ranker, he is Ryua's next opponent" (TL: actually the title is Sealing technique warrior but the sealer is cooler and faster to type)

"hmmm, just as i expected Metal rod-san wasn't able to do it and was completely defeated"

"weakening magic huh, so Ryua-chan will be fighting such as that?"

"if its only an average combatant he can completly seal them up. that guy is a specialist"

that person from earlier, he is the type that totally changes into a different type. (TL: this is talking about the personality -d-)
he walked towards me with a really over-confident expression.

"you are Ryua-kun right? i have seen the match before but if you completely only use strength then you won't be able to defeated me you know. its best to pick up your luggage and start leaving"

it was a like one-time talk, a Baste just completely left to somewhere.
so my next opponent will be that person.
since I was taught things by Metal Rod whatever, i owe him a favor so i will beat the guy up.
oh, looks like the next match is happening.

/ / /

"ah, wait a bit........."

"what Roel, toilet?"

"I need to confirm it one by one.........."

Roel left her seat and quickly walked to somewhere.

"after all she completely drunk up 10 drinks"

"but, it seems that no matter how much she drink or eat they won't get fat. for me I would to have someone thats bit more cuter that and can restrain themselves........" (TL: seigel is always annoying so 「しかし、あれだけ飲んで食べてよく太らないよな。オレとしてはもう少しかわいこちゃんにはその辺を自重してもらいたいものだが……」)

/ / /

"let me see, i'm sure the way is somewhere around here.........kya!"

at the turning point both of them clashed against each other.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" (TL:she said sorry 3 times -d-)

"........no its fine"

 Roel ended feeling guilty , she lowered her head several times  more than whats needed and once again got back to her objective.
the person she collided with silently saw Roel off.
wearing a deep black robe covering the persons white body, and on that persons body a black looking snake design was engraved

" ah how nice, that girl"

he licked his lips and slowly chased after Roel afterwards.
