36 – Hope to see you in the finals.

A few days after Riel told Alan everything, it’s lunch time. I went to the academy with Riel and Emilia. Was at the restaurant.

Basically, meals are provided free of charge to academy students, and the quality of the meals themselves is quite high, so most students eat at the cafeteria.

However, she was Riel, who was uncomfortable with being among people, so after she and Riel had a meal together, the two of them ate together in a secret room in the library with the lunchbox that Phyllis had packed for them.

“Riel, are you okay?”

“Uh…Yes. I think it’s fine.”

Riel entered the restaurant holding Emilia’s hand and looked around her.

She looks a bit nervous, but her complexion is not bad and she looks fine.

She ordered from the lunch menu, took what was served, and found an empty seat.

“Oh.”

I was about to start eating, when I heard someone’s voice and turned around to see Iris-senpai holding food in her hand.

“My juniors, this is the first time I’ve seen them at a restaurant.”

“Hello, Senior Iris.”

I lightly greeted Iris-senpai, and she sat down in the empty seat across from Emilia.

“Hi both. Um…And…?”

“Nice…Nice to meet you. My name is Emilia Silvrate!”

“This is Iris Likenair. Please take good care of me.”

Senior Iris stared at Emilia’s hat for a moment, then turned her head away.

Well, she’ll be bothered if she wears a hat on her head until she eats.

Senior Iris sits down and starts eating.

…Somehow, it seems like this is the first time the four of us have gathered like this.

While interacting with Iris-senpai several times, Riel told her Emilia-senpai to Iris-senpai, and vice versa, she told Iris-senpai to Emilia.

But it was the first time Iris-senpai and Emilia met like this.

“Come to think of it, Musinje is right in front of you.”

While eating, senior Iris suddenly brought up her words.

Certainly, after spending time training for the past few days, time passes quickly and the Musin Festival will begin soon.

All of the preliminaries for each tournament have already been completed and the people who will advance to the finals have been decided, and Iris-senpai and I are among them.

…It’s not information I really wanted to know, but I heard the voices of the girls in the classroom expecting Alan to play an active part in the finals, so I knew that Alan had also advanced to the finals.

“If Iris is a senior, she will definitely be able to win.”

This is not something I said out of politeness, I mean it.

During her training for a few days, she sparred with her a few times.

And what she felt for sure was that she would never be able to lose to Alan.

Iris-senpai’s swordsmanship is the same kingdom military style swordsmanship as Alan’s.

It is known as a swordsmanship that more systematically arranged and captured the swordsmanship used by the war god Kalidos, and is a swordsmanship used by most of the people who use swords in the kingdom.

It’s about a month ago, but I can assure you, having fought Alan, her skills were several points higher than Alan’s.

…Alternatively, what and how did the original work allow Alan to beat Iris-senpai?

“Wasn’t you leaving too? Is it okay to say that?”

“hahahaha… I don’t want to lose anything either.”

Senior Iris speaks as if it is a bit absurd.

That’s right, I intend to do my best, but if she only fights with swordsmanship, she won’t be able to win against this senpai.

Among the opponents of the same generation I met, I wondered if he was probably second only to Her Highness Princess Aine.

As I practiced it over and over again, I realized it keenly.

If I ran into a senior in a tournament, I would probably lose 100 percent.

“Kyou will be able to do well! I will cheer you on!”

“…Yes!”

Well, I guess giving up like that is bad, so let’s try!

“hahahaha, I guess your girlfriend’s support is more powerful than anything else, right?”

“Oh…Not yet!”

Iris-senpai teasing me with a real laugh and Riel responding with her blushing face.

And Emilia, caught between them and at a loss for what to do.

Thinking about it, in the original work these three acted together, but they never got so involved.

For readers who have read the original work, this is quite a refreshing sight.

But now, regardless of the original story, she thought it was really good to see Riel, who had a hard time dealing with people, laughing and chatting with people he made friends with in a crowded place like the academy cafeteria.

“Over 300 years ago, when the demon king invaded the world, all nations united…”

A time when Professor Hauser, who is in charge of history, fills the classroom with his boring voice.

I forcibly supported my eyelids, which kept closing because they were heavy, but I felt their eyes on me, so I raised my head and looked around.

Then I immediately felt the gaze withdraw, but I noticed the owner of the gaze looking at me.

Alan Ludwig quickly turned his head, but it must have been him.

I don’t know what the hell they’re up to, but I think it’s better to be vigilant.

I made that decision as I looked back at Riel who was dozing in the seat next to her.

“Hey!”

As a bonus, I didn’t forget to poke Riel’s side to wake him up.

Stay up, Professor Hauser is glaring at you.

Time passed, on the day of the Musin Festival.

The academy is closed during the Musin Festival.

In the first place, the Musin Festival itself is an event that takes place on Musin’s Birthday, which is a public holiday, and for convenience, the academy was decided to take a break during the festival.

In front of the dormitory, she joined Riel and Phyllis, who were assisting her, and joined Emilia and Iris seniors at her meeting place.

Everyone was dressed in plain clothes, and Emilia had her hat pulled down tightly.

Unlike Riel and Emilia, who are all nicely dressed, Iris-senpai wears active clothes that are easy to move around.

That’s right, Iris-senpai will have to participate in the Goddess Festival soon, just like me.

“Then let’s go to the venue!”

Riel takes the lead with an excited voice.

Actually, I was a little worried since it was a festival with more people than the academy cafeteria.

But when she saw Riel walking in the lead, looking very excited, she could feel her worries melt away like snow in her eyes.

“……”

I saw the back of the four people walking in front of me, and I heard Riel’s joyful voice, and I thought that the rest of my academy life would go smoothly like this.

While quietly following the four, I caught a group in my field of vision.

Alan Ludwig and his companions.

Even though, I didn’t see Ferris Valtreia among the companions.

But the blond boy she had with him was a face I knew.

The 1st Prince of the Kingdom of Palazinia, Julius ibn Palazinia.

The main character in the original ‘The Child of Yggdrasil’ and the biggest supporter of Alan Ludwig.

And the one who ascends to the throne at the end of the original work, despite being pushed by his half-brother and sister, Princess Yuril, to the lower line of succession.

He made contact with Alan Ludwig.

I feel uneasy, but there’s no way I’m going to get in the way right now.

“Kyou, what are you doing?”

Riel was calling in front of me.

While swearing in my heart to be more careful in the future, I turned and ran towards Riel.

The place where the Musin Festival student section was held was the Kingdom Outdoor Theater.

“There are so many people.”

“It’s only the 1st and 2nd rounds of the student division, how can there be so many?”

To Riel and Emilia having such a conversation, Phyllis pointed her finger at one place and said.

“I think it’s because of that.”

At Phyllis’s words, look where she pointed, there was her notice attached.

“Let’s see…, Ah…There must be a lot of people like this.”

Iris-senpai said that after reading the notice.

Well, I agree.

It was because the stage was scheduled to be held at an outdoor theater right after the schedule for the first day of the tournament was over.

The one on stage is Ilina Nortier, the most popular singer in the kingdom right now.

At this level, the schedule for the first day of the student section of the Musinje Festival must be just an appetizer for the audience.

“There’s also a bracket attached to it.”

The bracket for the Musinje student section was posted on the bulletin board of the theater.

Tournament competition with a total of 64 players.

About the third from the left, I saw my name.

“…Hmm. According to this lineup, I’ll only be able to fight Kyou-kun in the finals.”

“Yes, I see.”

Iris-senpai’s name was on the far right of her.

Both of them don’t know the first opponent’s name.

“Then I hope to see you in the finals.”

“Yes! Let’s cheer up each other!”

At that time, Alan Ludwig was at the Kingdom Open Air Theater.

He was accompanied by girls who usually followed him, and a little blond kid.

She must have lost her way, but one of the girls said she couldn’t just watch, and she was certainly right, so Alan agreed to protect her too.

However, the boy named Yuri never chose the option of going back to her home.

Alan, who felt a little uncomfortable about forcibly entrusting the child who had come out to look around the god of war to the soldiers, ended up bringing the child to the theater.

There were a lot more people in the theater than expected, but I knew from the words of my accompanying child that a popular singer would be on stage.

He gave his eyes to the bracket, saying that Alan, who was not particularly interested in being a singer, would.

His own name was on the right hand side.

Having identified his own name, Alan desperately tried to find another name.

From nob le mt l dot com

Kyou Wentos.

The name he vowed to destroy without fail.

It didn’t take long to find the name.

The name was right where you could find it if you looked for it from the left.

If we fight him, it will probably be the final.

‘You can come up, Kyou Wentos.’

Alan who fought him can tell.

He always makes it to the finals.

‘Be prepared. I will definitely defeat you in the finals… I will Riel…’
