The Colosseum is built just a few steps away from Lumeri City. It's as big as the size of Tokyo Dome. In the center, there is a battle stage for competitions.

And the spectators around are shouting and cheering, and screams of joy are echoing. There were six Laken boys and girls standing on the stage.

''Ladies and gentlemen! Here at Jerimu Coliseum, the Linkmoot game will be starting soon. The rules are simple: If your team has more colors than your opponent's, you win! It's a simple rule!


Yay!

The crowd around them got excited at the voice of the MC standing on the stage in the middle. Then, from the empty stage, a transparent liquid shape appeared and became an object, turning it into a battle stage dedicated to Linkmute.


This object is made of a part of a jellyfish's body, so it's fragile, but it won't hurt you if you blow it up and hit it! Well then, here come the players!


Ooh!

The crowd was more excited than they had been waiting for, unlike the cheers of earlier. Ren and the others appeared from the edge of the stage.


We were specially invited by Princess Marie to participate in the Linkmoot today! That guild's name is Azuma!

Whoa!

You're on a roll, Ren.
I joined the 'link moot' at Chloe's suggestion, but there's a lot of attention and stares!

That's why Len took Chloe up on her offer a few hours ago. It was to get some attention by participating in this Linkmoot match.

'I didn't expect you to get this much exposure, Master.
Liara hides in her bag and calls out to Ren.

'This is also for Leia and Miss Jane. Fight to stay out of the spotlight here...mumble.
Brother Ren?
What's going on?
Ayame is surprised to see Ren. Where's Lem? I didn't know what he was talking about.

'You didn't like to stand out, did you Len? But with all this excitement, you might find Leia's mother.

Chloe says, and Mew tells Chloe.

By our participation, the Tourism Association proves that it is safe for the humans to participate in the festival. Isn't that right, Lady Chloe?

Mew spun the twin swords in hand and went into battle mode. Mew was quite motivated.

''Exactly! If Leia's mom is watching this match, I'll tell her that Leia will be here in the victory comments when she wins the match. That's two birds with one stone!

After telling Mew, Chloe has a borrowed dagger here with a borrowed dagger, so Ren's Magna because she has to use a match weapon. I couldn't use everyone else's weapons, but I could use tools and summons.


'Then let's introduce ourselves! From left to right, Serena! Ren! Miu Miu! Chloe! Lem! Ayame! These six are going to join us! I don't know how good you are, but I hope you enjoy today's festivities! So long! Lady!


The bell was about to ring to start the game. We drew our weapons. We can fight at any time. The Larken boys are in battle mode.


"Gowah!


Kaaan!


The bell rings and they all start moving at once. Six members of the Larken tribe. Their opponents are the winners of the last Linkmoot. I don't expect them to suddenly go up against the previous winner.

''◇▷xx! ◇□! (Arne! You can color the object on the left! (I'm stalling me and Huna and the Ritzahit adventurers)

"◇△△△□ (All right, Krueger! (Me, Jida and Luc have a lot of color on us!

Kutar, a girl of the Larken tribe who speaks a deep sea language. And the other two challenged Ren and the others to a fight. The other Arne and the others focused on coloring.


Kutra and the others formed a formation and the axe held by Kutra pointed towards Ren.


Participants are equipped with numbered bracelets on their arms; three direct hits will reduce the number on the bracelets to zero.

A jellyfish lurking on the stage wraps itself around the participant and holds him or her for about 5 seconds. When the time is up, the restraints are released and the number on the bracelet returns to zero.


'◇ ◇! (Yah!)

Ktor's axe hits Ren's body. But the figure disappears.

''!''
I'm here!

It seems that he attacked the alter ego created by Ren's skills. Then Ren uses the colored sword he borrowed from the tournament to hit Kutoru's body in succession.


Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!


A sound comes from the armband. The jellyfish wrapped around Kutra's body, which had reached a number of zeroes, and he was bound and collapsed. Kutoru's body was covered in white.

'◇△▷? (What? (What was that?)
'Does the colour come out just by wielding the sword? How does it work? I'm curious.
Later, Ren!

Two of the other boys, Rizza and Huna, were slashing at Serena with their swords. Then Mew is in front of them and blasts Ritza into the sky with a kick, hitting an invisible barrier and causing Ritza to crash.

'The rules said I could use the technique too, so I'll use it! Aquavale!

Rizza throws a ring of water made by magic around Miu Miu like a shuriken and hits Rizza's body three times to be bound.

''◇▷! Stars? ◁To? (Rizza! Even with us? (No, it's more than that!)

Huna tried to take down Ayame with his lance, but the thin spear held by Ayame easily flicked the big lance.

''◇△▷! (The big weapon is shot!)
'I've been good at spears for a long time. I'm going!

When Ayame released a bit of [Oni] power, her horns extended a bit and magic power poured into the spear.


''《Oni Fang Battling Slash!

A lot of colors appeared from the spear held by Ayame, and like a wave of the ocean, Huna was caught up and swept away, hitting an object on the stage, then hitting it again, and Huna was tied up by the jellyfish on the stage.


A lot of colors appeared? Could it be that if I poured more magic into it, it would come out?

Ren pours a large amount of magical power into his sword. Then the duo of Chloe and Rem paint the colors while disturbing the other members.

'Red~♪ Green~ Blue~ Blue~ Yellow and purple and rainbow colors~'

Lem was singing and wielding a hammer to bring out the colors. Then the restrained Kutl and the others were released.

'◇△▷! ▷_______________! Good luck, adventurer! (Now let's attack from a girl named Serena and reduce our numbers!
'◇ ◇! (Kutra run!)
"◇? (What?!)

A large amount of color overflows from Ren's sword and he swings it wide. The magic power builds up to the maximum. Ren swung up big.

'Charge! Megalo S-Wave!

Kutoru and the others can't escape and are attacked as they are. The battle stage turns white, and then a gong sounds.

'Shuuuuryo! Time's up! Now the person who gets to paint the most colors on the battle stage is... the adventurer! Guild-Azuma's team!


Oooh!

The crowd cheered from the bleachers. And when the post-match interview came, Len tried to run away from the memory, but it was too late.

'Good job on the match! What the hell was that move you just did, I've never seen it before in a match!
''All the adventurous human races have such skills?

Surrounded by a bunch of reporters, you can't escape, and they'll ask you questions in surprised voices. For now.

Ange!
Yes, sir.

Ange brings Leia in and I tell the reporter that I'm looking for Leia's mother.

'I see! Get away from your mother and let her get lost! I'll write about it in the article so you can find it soon.
Come on, dismissed! I'm writing!
　
As soon as the Larken reporters told Ren so, they disbanded and went back to work on the story. Then Ren was relieved.

'I wondered what would happen at one point!
'Good night. Len.　

Serena threw the drink and Ren took it and the soda water he drank in the heat soaked into his body and tasted so good.
