In the afternoon, I decided to tell everyone about Durginus and give them a heads up. I don't think anything will happen during the event, though. If I don't tell them early, I'm afraid of what's to come later.

I met up with Tetsushin-san and was introduced to the party members.

''I'm a clergyman's wife,''

Huh? Could this name possibly be.

''Haha... as you can imagine, but just in case it's personal information, don't tell me.

Seriously? Which means that these kids, who are about my age, are...

It's a wizard's drop.

'That's where I told you to call yourself a magical girl...'

'Shut up. Gross nerds.

Don't say that in public!　I mean, it's not creepy!　I just like magical girl anime... ha!

You've learned a lot of information that you shouldn't have.

''Ahhhh... it's Kai the Knight. Please pretend that that didn't happen earlier.

'All right. This is the Summoner's Tact. This is the Mirai of the Clergy.

...nice to meet you.

After we introduce ourselves, we watch the game together. Then Tetsushin-san asks me.

'You haven't been watching the board, have you, Tact?　Who do you think will win?

'I'm not sure. If it's a summoner, I still think Takuma, who has dragonization, and Aroma, who is working with Angel, will win out, but Takuma will hit Tristan-san and Aroma will hit with a dark summoner, so we'll see what happens...

I was secretly rooting for Maya, the earthly Dragon Newt, but unfortunately, I lost in the first round to a pair of heavy warriors and archers I didn't know about. After all, if you can attract a summoner with a provocation, you're inevitably going to get stuck.

Other than Maya-san, the summoners were reduced in number in a very similar way. After all, in a game like this, the player with the most application skills will win.

'Hmm. How about the other players?''

''Aside from the people I know, the heavy warrior and wizard duo over there are the strongest by far, and then there's the knight pair of men and women over there.

Then Mirai and Tetsushin and the others were impressed.

'Those two groups were mentioned on the board.

''The heavy warrior and the wizard are players just like you in the Reich Empire. The knight pair of a man and a woman have been unknown until now, but with their combination, they're players who have emerged as a force to be reckoned with in this event.

Those heavy warriors and wizards are the ones who kept the information Kaito was talking about secret... or since the wizards are calling the shots, he's the one to blame. What a prank of fate...Arleigh and Recca were to fight.

The result was Arleigh and Lecca's defeat. Recca was winning the magic match, but Arleigh was beaten by a heavy warrior and was antsy to win. Arleigh was also trying to do something about it, but the level difference between her and her opponent was highlighted.

The male and female knight pairing is certainly an outstanding combination. The timing of attacking and defending seem to move naturally without cues. Therefore, they are repeating a solid battle without any gaps. If they continue to win, they will have to fight Mel and the others.

Before that, Mel and his friends will have to fight Tristan or Takuma, but accidents happen.

'Oh, I'm sorry. I drew the Grim Reaper card... and I drew the correct position.

The effect is the annihilation of all of the enemy's allies. As a result, Takuma was defeated without the use of Dragonization. Mel and his team were unsuccessful. I was wondering why there was a draw in the rules, but this is what happened.

After that, Mel and his team and the knight duo fought, and after a fierce battle, the knight duo won. It was the result of a complete combination loss. Normally, Mel and the others should have had the advantage, but it was the result of Rika's boorishness.

''This is going to be a long sermon...''

Mirai sighed in anticipation of her sister Kayo lecturing her at dinner.

And the roughest part was the battle between the Dark Summoner and Aroma. Aroma knew that the summoning beast's techniques were ineffective against the dark summoner. Hence, he killed the first runaway summoner with the Arc Angel's Heavenly Strike.

Now it was one on two, but the dark summoner didn't seem to mind. When Aroma uses a blitz, the dark summoner ducks the blitz. That's an evasion skill that the dark summoner I fought before used.

''Oops. Watch out! Now it's my turn!

The Dark Summoner closes the distance. Naturally, Arkangel sets up his shield and goes on the defensive. That was what the Dark Summoner wanted.

The Dark Summoner attacks the provoked shield and easily destroys the weapon, and then batters Ark Angel in a fight as it is, and Ark Angel is defeated.

Aroma's fireblast catches the dark summoner, but as he eats the fireblast, the dark summoner in front of him hits him and Aroma is defeated.

'I commend you for fighting me. As a reward, I'll take good care of your sweet little Angel.

The sound of the dark summoner's laughter rang out. Hearing that, I clenched my fists tightly.


There were some rough matches, but the top four were all together... the remaining pair of heavy warrior wizards, Dark Summoner, Yoichi-san and Mitsuki-san, a male and female knight duo.

Yoichi and Full Moon have fought and won against the pair of Rikku, Kego and Yuko. I'm looking forward to see how it will turn out.

After finishing dinner, the semifinals begin. At first, it was a battle between a dark summoner, a heavy warrior and a pair of wizards, but then the dark summoner didn't fight and gave up. Seeing this, the wizard is in a panic. Tetsushin-san asks them.

''...How do you see it?''

'It looks like you gave away the win on purpose. He's making excuses, but it looks like a monkey show.

'If you can't win anyway, you're either going to do maximum damage to them or you're going to be a nasty opponent...'

Now, if the dark summoner fights normally in the third place match, the suspicion of the pair of heavy warrior wizards is confirmed. And then there was the battle between Yoichi and Full Moon, but after a fierce battle, they were defeated.

The knight duo was the first to attack Yoichi with a gale thrust, but Mitsuki-san guarded him. While there was a gap, Yoichi shot an arrow rain, but it was defended by the shield. The offense and defense went on and on, and eventually the knight duo's combination was so high that Mitsuki was defeated first. Even so, I still thought that Mitsugetsu-san was still amazing for not taking a step back against the two knights to keep Yoichi-san from being attacked until the end.

Tetsushin-san asks me.

'Are you acquainted with him, the heavy warrior?'

'Yes. We got together at an event and now we're working together. It sounds like you want to fight?

I saw a fight like that... and I'm not surprised.

In the third place match, the dark summoners still fought normally, but Full Moon and Yoichi overwhelmed them. It still highlights that the summoner specialization is weak against normal jobs.

And then, the final match. The trump card of the knight duo exploded here. The male knight attacked the heavy warrior with a gale thrust, and the female knight threw her sword at the heavy warrior as he tried to play it with his shield. The wizard, who was chanting, ate the unexpected attack in the face and was dumbfounded.

The heavy warrior also tried to do something about it, but her opponent is so good that she has defeated Mr. Full Moon. In the end, his life force is slowly diminished, and at the end of the day, he makes a bet and shows a big move, but it is played and the game is over.

The event ended with the same award ceremony as yesterday.

'In the end, the combination or lack of combination was the key to victory.

The winning knights seemed to be inferior to the other players in terms of individual ability. However, they made up for their inferiority with a great combination and strategy.

''It's a tag-team match, so it's only natural, but I'm sure the board is in disarray.

Is that so?

'Oh. They won, they were named up, but if anything, they were told to lose.

Arima. But after watching them fight, no one could complain about it. It was such a great fight.

Afterwards, I made friends with Tetsushin and the others and led them to the platform. We're free to warp for the rest of the day. So I prepared a celebration for Tetsushin-san, Mangetsu-san, Yoichi-san and the others.

''Well... then, toast to the end of the event!

"Hooray!

We all toasted and ate the food that Aeon and the others had cooked for us. It was the first time I've seen the cooking room in full operation, for some reason. By the way, Kiki also cooked for us.

'Uma!　So this is the dish that was the key to victory in the Astaroth battle and the zombie event!

'...It's nice to have that sub-racial home-cooked meal you've been longing for.

You're gonna spill it here?

Arleigh taps Kai on the shoulder.

'I know,'

Thank you.

Arleigh and Kai were getting on well with each other. I'm not going to get involved in that. I'm the source of the problem in a way, but if I get involved in that thing, I feel like it's over.

Then Tetsushin-san came in.

'No~ I'm kind of sorry... we just met today and we're all in for a treat.'

'It's my way of thanking you for your help, so don't worry about it, just eat it.

Then the fortune teller's sister got involved. She was the one who had been working with Mr. Tristan.

'That's right!　You're being disrespectful here!

You're a little intense for a guy without a drink.

'It's good. I don't think I've ever had such good food in this game before, you know?　I'm playing all these games!

All I can say is...I'm sorry for your loss.

'Tact-kun...let me introduce you. She is.

I'm Nostra, the fortune teller.

A cold air washed over the venue. The air was cold, because a good old man even struck a definitive pose. I can't help it.

Alright. Come here for a moment, you silent people. I'll tell your fortune and give you a bad result.

What an outrage. But the ladies are very motivated. Lily and the others were very interested in doing it too.

The results are as follows.

The fool is Ix.

The mages are Mew and Setia.

The female pope is Mirai, Ion and Chiffon.

The Empress is Mel and Ruin-san, Waxx, Luna, and Waif-san.

The Pope is Yug and Hal.

Her lovers are Tyrol, Leanne and Shizuku.

The chariots are Rika and Lily.

The force is Miranda and Yuko.

The hermit is Noah.

The Wheel of Destiny is Iyuki.

Justice is Tristan.

Temperance is Yuna, Bran, Mir, and Kiki.

The demon is Livina.

The stars are Regin.

The moon is Sephone and Heliya.

The sun is love fire.

And so on. That's a horrible result. The fact that they can all be subtly convinced is scary. In case you're wondering, all the men refused. None of them would want to guess the Grim Reaper or the hung man.

'You'll pull the tact, won't you?'

I can't say I won't pull back before Lily and the others do, so I pull back. Amused, Nostra asks them all.

'What do you think you'll win?'

Mel and the others reply.

'Is it the Emperor after all?'

My brother might be a fool.

"...I'm guessing a lot of sub-races, so I vote for the Wheel of Fortune.

That's it!

Everyone agrees with Mirai. I'm sure it's happy, but we'll see what comes. I draw my card and it's brilliantly predictable.

'It's a world...'

Wow!　I drew a card that I haven't guessed before. In the positive position, it means perfection and perfection. In the reversed position, it means decay, decay and disintegration of harmony.

"I see...

For some reason, we all agree, Mel explains.

'I've been deeply involved in the game's strategy so far, and Tact-kun is already a famous balance breaker.

"Mmm-hmm.

What? What's that assessment! Sure, you have a cheat move, but I don't agree with that assessment!

Then, while everyone was talking, I was able to listen to Tetsushin-san's story. It seems that Tetsushin-san didn't participate in the events in the Wakamiki Forest due to real life reasons, so he was slowly working his way up the levels. Then he met a samurai from the field and became an apprentice, which freed him of his samurai profession and skills.

This sword was given to me by an NPC as a souvenir of my apprentice's graduation. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make it.

'I see. I know how to make it, but I can't make it without the material, the steel... or at least the steel, so I'm looking for it.

Does that mean you have a sword?

Yes. Here it is.

Tetsushin-san holds a silver sword.

''It's definitely light... but it's a sword in the equipment, so it's effective against the zombies. I guess I'll have to order a sword from Tact-kun for this one.

Since it's Hephaistos who's making it, you can ask him to do it.

While we were talking about this, it was time for the forced logout. Finally I friend Nostra, and the celebration is over.

'I've decided!　Come to Fretia and I'll live here too!

He said that and disappeared, but I wonder what will happen. With his personality, he's probably going to come. I'll be forced to log out soon too. The last thing I have to say to Aeon and the others is.

Thanks for the food. Thanks for the food.

"Heh-heh-heh.

I forced myself to log out, looking at Aeon and the others smiling happily.
