275 Episode 191: Festivals And Moot Warfare
The next day we secured a boat in the River Island area, the Festival Week (Festival) operation came to the inn where we were staying.
She wants to talk to Mio and Nino about the culinary competition.
"Overall winner of a culinary competition? We did?
As Mio listened back, the man in operation nodded.
"Yes, usually the winner of the store's department will remain the overall winner, but this year the two of you, the winners of the general department, have become the overall winners. The judges were unanimous."
"But the poster at the tournament didn't describe the overall victory, did it?
"Yes, I checked with the person in charge, he said he had never won a general division before, so the description on the poster was missing at some point."
The general area is the front seat.
It's a waste of effort to dedicate to what's almost impossible, isn't it?
"So what happens when you win overall?
"The overall winner is given a right, but it's a premise that it's a store department, and it's obviously not for individuals. So I came to talk to you."
The winners of the general section were given "Trophies" and "Invitations to the Gondola Tour".
The winner of the store's department was given a 'luxurious trophy'.
And the overall winner will be given the 'right to behave as a cook to the royalty of the Kingdom of Pajer'.
Sure, I think it's a good opportunity for stores to foil, but getting all that honor on your own doesn't really lead to much profit.
And there's also a backstory that "Invitation to the Gondola Tour" is a prize to balance the stores with the general department.
I didn't know I was going to be involved with royalty in this way......
A: By saying no rattling, let me refrain from speaking.
Well, Alta knew.
Of course, I'm not going to complain because I'm the one who issued the screw-up injunction.
What are we gonna do? Say no? "
Oh, say no.
"Bye!
Respond instantly to remarks from Mio.
Alta says the royalty, nobility of this country is basically corrupt and has the kind of trouble that the 'princess witch' escapes.
I definitely don't want to get involved because I see noble trouble.
"I'm sorry, but I have no interest in that right, so I'm gonna say no."
"Really? That was good......"
Surprisingly, the man running the tournament showed a relief look.
"Are you happy to be turned down?
"Yes. Actually, the royal aristocrats seem to be busy doing something for a few days now. I couldn't tell you why, but I couldn't even talk to you about your overall winning rights."
... Alta, you can rattle me out, so tell me.
Could it be because of me that Mio and the others didn't have a forceful solicitation from the nobles?
A: Yes. We have a high-elf search warrant from the royal family. As a result, we are no longer talking about where cooks are solicited.
If it was normal, there would have been a strong solicitation.
It turned out to be the best for both of them. Mainly in terms of harm on the part of solicitors.
"If you are in the store department, you can also adjust the day, but you two are with tourists, so it was expected that the adjustment would be difficult to navigate. If you resign, that's the easiest thing to do, so as for this one, it's a wish or a fulfillment. Of course, we will make up for it in a different way"
It's hard to handle unusual exceptions when you have troubles with royal nobility.
Did you just say that the tournament operator was at ease and at ease?
"Nino's good too, right?
"Of course, yes"
With the agreement between the two winners, the man running the tournament left.
It should be noted that 'another form of supplementation' was made a priority right to participate in the festival week (festival).
It's a corner festival, so I want to enjoy it outside of the culinary competition (Gondola takes precedence over that).
However, there is no guarantee that you will be able to participate in events of timely interest.
If you have the right to participate as a priority, you can use the power of competition management. You did it!
And we set foot in the festival week venue again.
Everywhere, it's very exciting.
Huh? I thought you weren't going to help build the ship?
That's not what amateurs do with their mouths and hands, is it? That's what the two of them do.
All I can do is give money, materials and magic.
Specialist manpower (maids) could also be arranged, but that was turned down by two people.
The construction is already in its final stages, and it doesn't make sense to have more people now, he said.
That it was the hardest part of being out of money in the final stages.
"Now which event to attend…"
"Dear Jen, they say the eyeball event is one day at a time"
"Other than that, it looks like you have over 20 events just today..."
When I whined, Maria and Sakura with the puffs supplemented me.
Maria does something clever, watching the puffs and being vigilant around her.
"Mio was so satisfied with the food competition that we're all at your disposal!
"There's a big food tournament, so I'd love to leave."
Dora's coming out!
Whatever Mio is, Serra and Dora usually drive.
In addition to culinary competitions, there are many food related events, and the big food competitions are held daily.
But can we send these two out for the big food tournament?
Is there someone you can beat?
Note that priority participation rights come with Mio, so if Mio is not present, the rights will cease to exist.
So the usual six of us are supposed to act together.
The truth is that Nino, the meritorious man, also invited him, but he declined because he was already filled enough.
He looked very, very satisfied.
"Shall I join you in this at first"
The first event the six headed for was cocky.
"Who's the Greatest Warrior! Luxury Prize Giveaway with 10 Winners!
This is an event in the arena, a winning battle using magic tools (magic items) for simulated battles with no damage if you hit them.
Blood-smelling events are forbidden during Festival Week.
Incidentally, this is the type of event that does not require priority participation rights.
Those in line will fight in turn and will only compete for the winning streak.
"Ha-ha-ha! You don't have a sixth person? Is he always full of cluttered fish?
On stage, a big man who seems to have accomplished five outs is provoking.
There's no one lined up right now. I think I can fight right now.
The weapon is a big axe. He is a pure warrior with and.
Some wounds would have been inflicted in the battle against demons, and it would be reasonable not to be merely proud of their power, but to have experience in action.
"Well, I'll have fun"
"Wishing you luck"
Come on!
Everyone dropped me off and I told the receptionist to join me.
"What do you make of weapons?
"Same as him, with a big axe"
If you're a reasonable person, you'll understand what I'm trying to do at this point.
"Come on, the next challenger is Jin, a big axe that doesn't look good!
Go up to the stage and get referrals from the reality story.
Since there is no reason to hide his identity this time, he has decided to register under his real name.
"Against, the powerful already in the 5th straight win! Dongo!
"Ha ha! Such a hyorous brother would be an easy win -! I'm gonna keep winning 10 straight!
Seems like a lot of strength, but doesn't look like much of an eye to see.
"Now, let the game begin!
"Kurah!
Dongo players come up with fierce advances as the game begins.
The giant thrust and the momentum of the Axe are powerful.
Even if you know you won't take damage, you'll feel dull to the extent that the city is proud of its power.
I twist my body around on the spot with a big axe.
It's a vertical swing down, so it's not that hard to avoid if you shift the axis.
Keep it up, if you put it in the momentum of rotation and shake off the big axe......
"Damn......!
My big axe pierces the side of a dongo player in a big axe down position.
"Shit, there's a battle! Gin wins!
- Whoa, whoa!
The surrounding audience boiled.
This time, it was the Battle of Charm that I became aware of.
It will be interesting to watch that a skinny man instantly kills a big man in a movement like a bend.
In addition, it reveals which is stronger for the amateur because they use the same weapon.
Obviously it included a futile move (rotation), but nothing wrong with showing it off at a spectacle (show).
Either that or it was too uninteresting for the Dongo players.
From what I've seen, because all the games so far have been instant kills by the first ramp.
One pattern lacked exuberance, so he took it backwards and exuberanced it.
The opponent of the second match that follows is Mugen, a naturally unrivaled technician.
"Eat it! Tianjin Shuanglianyi, the turbulent moon!
"Unrest Moon Return!
"Then, stupid! He said he'd take all the poking at the tip!
Kuya in Game Three is an old swordsman from Izmo Republic.
"Flying slaughter knitted by the awkward after years of training, take it. Ha!"
"The Flying Sword."
"Liar."
Omit from Game 4 to Game 8 because it is not interesting.
Game nine. Elf bowman, Pierie.
"Sounds great with the blade, but how about a bow shoot?
"Throw!"
"Take the arrow! Don't throw it like that! At least use the bow!
And the final tenth game.
"The next opponent is this' super......"
"Retreat"
One hand pushed the big man, who was about to make his name up, and a woman about 20 went on stage.
The woman had a coat-like feather woven over her white bodysuit, with purple hair tied over her head.
Feminine abundant flesh is highlighted in bodysuits, pornographic in a tangible way.
The outfit and hairstyle are clearly floating off the field.
"Hey, sis! Don't interrupt on your own! It's my turn next!
"Hmm, is that the rule? Then you should give me that right. It's Luna."
"Yes."
When the big man complained, the horny woman called a squire woman.
"Give it to me"
"Oh, hey..., here..."
A squire lady hands me a leather bag filled with gold coins, and the big man's face catches on.
"So you have the right to fight him."
"... No, I don't want money. I give way to order."
The big man accepted the transfer of his rights with his pulled face on and returned the leather bag.
As far as the big guy is concerned, you probably don't want to get involved with someone who just doesn't hesitate to pay a fortune for their game rights. I know how you feel. If I can, I don't want to get involved either.
"Hmm, good thinking."
"Uh... So, are you sure you want to say the next person is this woman?
"Oh......"
Where the woman said satisfactorily, the MC came to confirm the change of order.
"May I ask your name?
My name is Sol.
Sun (sol) on the moon (runa)? Easy-to-understand names are good, right?
"So, which weapons do Sol players use?
"Everything. You should give out everything you have prepared."
Sol said something strange.
For the record, your opponent's skills are in a tie that you won't see until the battle is over.
"Do you mean to use weapons separately? There are more than 20 types..."
"I don't mind that perception. Place on the floor appropriately. It's Luna."
"Yes."
As Sol instructed, Luna placed 25 different weapons on the stage.
"You fought an interesting battle, can't you imitate this?
"Oh, on the boulder. I can't do that"
It is impossible to 'use the same weapon as your opponent' if you do this.
At least not in a mock fight where magic is forbidden.
"You should use the weapon you are most used to"
"Let me do that."
I took the familiar one-handed sword.
There is also a knife, but in balance, this one is closer to what I'm used to.
And we'll be relative on stage.
"Watch my martial arts, but be good"
That being said, when Sol put his right hand up, a weapon placed on the stage floated in the universe.
An audience seat.
"Sol players, the use of magic is forbidden in this event!
"This is not magic"
MC hastily cautions, but Sol denies that it is magic.
I don't feel magic, so it doesn't seem magical. It's almost certainly the power of skill.
"But this kind of thing has to be magic..."
"I don't think I'm magical either. Just in case you don't mind magic, can you keep going?
"... This game is good if that's what Gin says. But if Sol wins, from the next game..."
"Don't worry. When the battle with this man is over, I will leave, not according to victory or defeat."
"Ok......"
The MC can only proceed with the match if the two parties agree and no longer have any concerns.
The MC left the stage, and only me and Sol, and the floating weapon, remained on stage.
"Waiting is a gin player in an overwhelming ninth straight win so far! The opposing soldier floats his weapon with mysterious moves! I have no idea what kind of game it's going to be!
It's unclear what game it's going to be, but I can somehow read what it's going to do.
"Now, let the game begin!
Along with the signal to start the game, eight weapons came at me.
"Right."
"Let me enjoy myself."
Great swords, small swords, pistols, long spears, hand axes, large axes, hammers, and sickles loom from all directions.
25 Can't you manipulate it all at the same time or is it a small hand check...... Does it matter now?
I ran out to Sol.
It is easier to deal with an attack while traveling than with everything on the spot.
At this point, there are three that are likely to be effective hitting: a small sword, a spear, and a hand axe.
Perhaps you are placing a small swing weapon in an easily visible position to ensure overall vision.
This also suggests the possibility that invisible weapons cannot be manipulated, but they are not incorporated into the tactics because there is no basis for asserting them.
I play three weapons with a one-handed sword and flesh thin on the sol.
"Ha!
"Mmm!"
Sol took my slaughter with a one-handed sword in his hand as well.
Sol glanced at me for a moment because I had more arm strength.
"It's a great blow. Besides, I have a good eye for finding the best hand in that moment."
"It's an honor to pay you a compliment."
I only put the distance at a very disadvantage, so I want to stay close if I can.
Well, isn't that such a sweet opponent?
The little sword and spear that was bounced earlier approached me from my blind spot, so I avoid it with minimal movement.
Sol's sword, which I expected to avoid, also looms. I'm busy......
Furthermore, medium and long-range attacks by bows and whips forced them to take a distance.
In the future, it's going to be hard to get close once.
Well, I've figured it out in the short offense so far.
First of all, Sol's manipulative weapon is just floating, not a simple thing to fly by.
The orbit of the weapon feels as beautiful as the shape of a master's swing.
In other words, you should think the invisible master is manipulating you, not floating in the universe.
Conversely, it is unlikely that it will be an unnatural orbit that even masters cannot do.
And the unseen weapon can also be manipulated, but the precision of the manipulation drops.
Earlier, the weapons that approached me from my blind spot, or where I was blind from Sol, were not as sharp as they were just before.
This doesn't seem incorrect, as there's no point in making attacks that have slowed down state accuracy.
In other words, it can be said that to deal with Sol, who manipulates 25 floating weapons, is the same as to say, 'Eyes deal with 25 masters who are only attached to Sol'.
No, Sol himself has masterclass prowess, so you're 26 masters......
"Concentrate on death!
When I was thinking about that with a looming weapon, Sol was pissed off at me for guessing it.
For the record, it looks like the first time I only used eight weapons was a small hand check.
Twenty-five weapons attack me through brilliant collaboration.
Approaching at the same time is about 10, but each does not create a gap, approaching to fill a gap.
There is no effective hitting so far, but once the distance is taken, it is tough inside.
"What's up? To that extent? Are we done here?
Cheap provocation. Let's ride.
"Well, it's time for me to attack you again"
"If you can, you can try"
I changed the way I twisted 25 weapons.
Until now, he had avoided it as much as possible and had only received or played things that he deemed inevitable.
But now he starts playing as hard as he can.
"Mmm..."
Sounds like Sol has an idea, too.
Perhaps the effect of Sol's skills is' reproduction '.
I guess it's not always manipulating all weapons, but reproducing the orbit of past moves.
It is deceptive in the collaboration between weapons, but one weapon only came in about 10 different orbits, so it was not difficult to notice.
And this semi-automatic maneuver also has its drawbacks.
Even if the track of the move can be reproduced, the movement after being bounced is irrelevant.
The weapon I avoided immediately restarted the attack, but the weapon I played had a time lag to return to.
Maybe the weapon that was bounced needs to be returned manually.
This means that when a lot of weapons are played, a gap can be made in the attack for that matter.
I lower my profile and try to get close to Sol.
"I'll do it......!
Why Sol groaned.
That's because many of the weapons Sol can manipulate now are weapons that are particularly bad at attacking the lower section.
When I say weapons, I basically don't like lower level attacks.
Even in martial arts, there are often fewer types of attacks in the lower stages than attacks on other areas.
There will be a number of reasons.
A 'hand' with a weapon is on the upper body, making the attack on the lower level difficult to stabilize. Failure to attack risks placing weapons on the ground. There is no part of the lower body that can be fatally injured by a single blow.
No matter how masterclass you move, you can't expect the accuracy of any other attack just by saying it's an attack on the lower level.
Plus, it's nearly impossible to hunt me down with nothing but a big axe, a big sword, and a huge swing of weapons that I said hammer.
I run under a weapon that stays low and out of shape.
This is also a move you can make because the Invisible Master doesn't exist. Originally, you can run out of places to hit people.
And to another melee.
Again, if we get this close, it's in our favor.
"Away but good!
"Say no!"
Naturally, Sol trying to get distance again.
25 weapons approaching me. I was waiting for this.
I flushed the approaching sword with a one-handed sword and directed it to Sol.
"Chi!
Sol rushes off his little sword.
Likewise, spears approaching me flow to Sol.
"Come on! Do a clever imitation!
"It's an honor to pay you a compliment."
Spears play evil, too, Sol.
It's a similar exchange as earlier, but I can't afford Sol.
While I was playing the weapon, I noticed that the attack of a weapon that floats the universe is light.
When a person meets with a weapon, he or she adjusts his or her force aggressively.
When practicing mould, it's natural to use force differently.
Sol's "Invisible Master" attack is a mould exercise. Because I haven't been able to apply or subtract force, I can easily play or recieve it.
"Can you see my moves so far... I'm trying to be serious."
Moment after moment, Sol's atmosphere changed.
Failed to recieve an approaching spear from behind. Hardly avoid it.
... 'Lightness' disappeared until earlier.
"I mean it from here on out. Because it's different from before, I'll take it with me."
The visit was an unparalleled series of attacks.
The accuracy and speed of the moves have increased, the variations in the orbit have increased, and the 'lightness' of the weapon has disappeared.
"This is tight!
Now it's critical because I avoid it.
When I try to play it or recieve it, I lose my posture.
Corner countermeasures are unlikely to be used by this attacker either.
Moreover, surprisingly, the more time passes, the greater the accuracy of the attack.
... but you're uncomfortable. Shall I make sure?
I played big, ready to punch with a spear.
Naturally, other weapons strike at us for that gap.
The only way I can move to avoid an attack is in the direction of The Invisible Master of Spears.
When I played the spear, I dared to create a gap to make it easier to run towards it. I can't prevent a gap from appearing, but I had room to choose the direction of the gap.
I ran out for The Invisible Master of Spears and thrust with that momentum.
- Doss!
"Guh!"
Obviously there was a stabbing sound in something and Sol shouted in agony.
Sol kneels down and all weapons fall to the ground.
Look, there's blood coming from Sol's mouth.
"... why did you notice?
"There was no certainty. But the moment the weapon touched me, I felt the presence of the user ahead of the weapon."
As he/she (Sol) also said, I guess in the first and second phases it is separate.
In the first phase, the 'invisible master' is not real, only the mould is reproduced.
But in the second stage, the 'invisible master' was also reproduced invisibly.
If the user is reproducing, the attack may pass.
I thought so and launched an attack on The Invisible Master.
I didn't think Sol would spit blood...
"On that basis, do we launch high-risk attacks? Are you out of your mind?
"... Similar things are often said. More than that, why are you spitting blood?
"If they poke me in the stomach, it would make sense to spit blood"
Is the second stage of the attack on the 'invisible master' tantamount to the attack on Sol?
Besides, it also has an Omake that does not activate the effects of non-damaging weapons.
"Let's apologize for interrupting. Okay, let's keep going."
"Huh? Do we go on?
"Not yet, neither is dead"
This is a mock fight...
I don't give a shit about spitting blood or the risk of death, all I have in mind is fighting.
It's been a long time since I've been a combat maniac (Battle Junkie).
"You don't hesitate to attack the shadows, do you?
No, I wouldn't hesitate if you told me not to, would you?
A mock fight where only the opponent is at risk of death, or whatever, has no advantage.
"Come."
When Sol says so, the falling weapon rises again.
Does the fact that only spears do not float mean that the 'invisible masters' with effective hits disappear?
The attack began again.
No matter how much Sol decides to be ready, he's not going to kill his opponent in a mock fight.
But now Sol forgets to say mock warfare, and where one or two 'invisible masters' have been defeated, it doesn't look like it will stop.
That's the possibility that you won't even stop until you die.
I'll figure out a way to attack the Invisible Master without killing Sol while avoiding an attack.
,,... I thought about it a lot, but I couldn't think of any effective measures that could be used on me right now (...).
So it's a good idea to lose a lot?
Yeah, I absolutely don't like it.
When this happens, there's only so much I can do.
I don't really care, but I can't help it.
"Bad. Let it end with the next attack"
"If you still have something to show, don't hesitate to show it"
Here, I've got a step up in my ability.
As you know, we usually act fairly restrictively on our status and skills.
Our ability to act in this world has reached excessive proportions.
There are stages in the way of that restriction, and to a large extent, it goes so far to do tourism, so far to fight enemies, so far to fight powerful enemies, etc.
And now my abilities have shifted from tourist mode to enemy combat mode.
"Stupid!?
Sol's face was stunned when I ran through all the weapons and approached him in an instant.
That's all, it was a different speed in dimension than before.
Note that the shrinkage method is not used.
"Gu!?
The sol who took my slaughter in a critical manner blows up a lot.
"It's not over yet!
Sol uses all 24 weapons to prevent my pursuit.
There is not a single weapon left to turn to attack. Rather, it is hard enough to prevent using all 24 pieces.
Incidentally, the single-handed sword in your hand appears to be unable to shake properly due to the impact of the earlier slash.
"I didn't know you hid so much power! But I'm not gonna lose like this either!
"No, that's it."
"What?"
When I stopped my hand, the sound of bissi echoed around me.
The sound sounded from Sol's weapon.
"Unconscious. I didn't know you'd forget the character of my weapon... Yeah, this was a mock fight."
Sol's weapon collapses in pieces.
I watched and noticed that Sol's skills were straining his weapon.
I also found that the harder you move your weapon, the more burdensome it becomes.
Maybe it's just a fine level of strain if you have the strength of a treasure class (artifact).
But it wasn't a burden to be safe with a weapon for mock warfare that wasn't strong enough to take my series of attacks.
"My loss."
By the time Sol declared his loss, all his weapons had been shattered and scattered.
Corners, we were competing for moves, but at the end of the day we had to make a gorilla push by status.
In a way, 'usual' but I wanted to fight in the same status until the end if I could.
I'm still immature, too.
