284 On the Midway #2





 Kingdom Year 1820. Fresh season. Royal Capital Eisenhart.

 In a world that feels wide open when you look up at the clear blue sky, this place where we're currently waiting for guests is extremely crowded.

 A residential area in the capital.

 A corner of the slums, which had been extensively renovated in order to pick up the poor and accommodate tourists visiting the capital, had now become a residential area where commoners could live in a reasonable manner.

 Many housing complexes lined the streets, and from what I heard, there were many people who had jumped up from the poor class to the common class.

 The "first job" is important for them to have hope, but I guess they got it through the public works of building spectacles.

 No distinction by "occupation." A lump sum of 300,000 gourdes a month.
 The poor people who kept an eye on the world during that time are still able to live a decent life now that the public works are gone.

 However, it is still conspicuous when people like us are standing in this square.
 There are many people in this square, which is the meeting point of many apartment buildings, and where two apartment buildings have their entrances.
 We avoided the edge of the square so as not to interfere with the traffic of those who were going to work in the morning, but...

"Hello.
"Good morning!

 Leeta, the listener, turned around in response to the voice.
 There stood the guest of the day, standing proudly.

You live in a place like this, don't you, Izuna?

 Leeta looked around at the streets lined with houses.
 The distance between the buildings is so short that you might worry that your laundry won't even dry.

Surprising?

 The person waiting for me, Izuna Sienzan, gave me a toothy smile.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. ...... I've rented this house for a number of reasons. It's true that this is not a dream come true for a swordsman.
I'm not sure what to say.

 I'm not sure what to make of that.
 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

You should take a closer look. ...... The spectacle has only just begun. I'm not stupid, I get it. I'm not stupid, I know that. I'm going to take the prize money, I'm going to take the fight money, and I'm going to show you my house again someday. I'm sure that will be the completion of the real "longing to be a fighter".

 Let's go," he said.
 The back that started to push through this maze of roads without hesitation looked much bigger.







 --Spectacular on the Midway #2

 --Izuna Sienzan.








 Born in Ashigara, Akitsu Province.
 Age 24. Height 211 cents. Weighs 110.
 He is considered to be the second most powerful swordsman after Futa, and used to be one of the "Eight Flashes of Heaven" in the Principality.

 His large body gives a sense of perfection, not only in terms of height but also in terms of his toned body.
 Even when he is just walking behind you, he looks as if he has a lion on his side.

"Where are you going first?
"Hmm? Hmm? I'm going shopping for now.
Shopping?

 Izuna Sienzan smiled and took out her wallet.
 This unexpected sight, however, seems to be a familiar sight in the shopping district of this area.

 A conspicuously large figure strolling through the many stalls.
 Seeing her rusty red hair, everyone is waving at her.

It's very popular.
You stand out. I'm not stupid. I'm not an idiot, I get it.

 He raises the corner of his mouth and buys the food according to the directions on the scroll in his hand.
 If you notice that his handwriting is quite cute, it will remind you of his sister.

Speaking of which, where's Mochisuke-chan?
Oh, he's home. I've been wanting to come, but it's too big a group. We'll have to see each other when we get back.

 He scratches his head and Leeta laughs.
 I thought he was unfeeling, but it turns out he has a childlike side.

 Izuna left the shopping mall to go home after finishing her shopping, whether she knew we were relaxed or not.

 I was quite impressed by the people on the street who looked so regretful to see her go.

You're well-liked.
...... It may be slightly different from what you said earlier, but...
What?

 On the way home, he said.

On the way home, he says, "We have to be the 'cool' guys."
"...... cool guys?

 He starts writing down notes when Lita pokes him with a thud.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure what to say. And Izuna is one of the coolest. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing and how you're going to do it.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.


 However, its large feet slowly move in time with the woman's leetah.

I've come in second in the Colosseum. I once came in second place at the Colosseum.
Oh, my God!
......, right? Yeah, I was a great guy.
......
But he didn't make it to number one, he dropped to about number six.

 He exhaled.
 There was a hint of regret in his eyes.

 Regret. But I felt helpless, like I had no choice.

"So I struggled to do something about it, and I couldn't even show my lame attempts, and I was in a terrible state. Looking back on it now, I feel like leaving the Colosseum was just an escape.

 I don't want to show myself falling down without being able to go up.
 Such thoughts drove him.

"Men are cool. I don't want to do anything uncool. I don't want to do anything lame. ...... It's strange, isn't it, that guys like that do lame things.
"So, Izuna...
Oh, ...... I did something lame. I got in a lot of trouble.

 I arrived at his place of residence, where Izuna had come from that morning.
 You'll be able to go through the front door of the apartment and up the stairs into a room marked 303.

But well...

 You'll be able to see the girl standing in the doorway.
 It's a good idea to take a look at the website to see if there is anything you can do to help.

 It's my sister, Mochisuke.

I feel like I've been saved by this guy and the guys in King's Landing.
Master. What are you talking about? Motosuke's angry. Why are you alone, Master?
No, I admit I wanted to follow you.
He denies it. Motisuke just wants to be at your side in case of emergency.

 Izuna lifts Mochisuke up with a heave.

 I remembered that she was said to be at that age. I think she's very cute.

"The guys from King's Landing?
Futa, the princess, Prim, and some of the others we'll be visiting later.

 I'm sure you're not the only one.

 The ones in King's Landing. I'm sure I saw a strong attachment to King's Landing in his eyes when he said that.

"Well, I'm going to eat and train, and then I'm going out for dinner.











 --Evening. Eisenhart Alley, King's Landing.

 A narrow street of bars.
 That was my first impression.
 The bustle of the people was what you could call a hustle and bustle, but for some reason Izuna kept a smile on her face as she walked down the street.
 She occasionally looks back at us puzzled reporters, but doesn't say anything, as if she is very confident about the place she is going to show us.

"This is it.
"You mean the taverna at ......?"
Yeah. That's our home.

 When he opened the swinging door, the customers and staff cheered loudly, as if they were expecting him.
 He was so welcoming that even the surprised reporters were seated before long, and all hell broke loose.

"...... is the place.
There's a lot of people cheering me on.
"Hey, Izuna!
Oh. Anise. Let's get something to eat.
Come on!

 Her cheerful voice echoed through the kitchen.

 At first glance, it seems to be just a diner in the middle of nowhere.
 But if you ask me, there are signs of Izuna and other swordsmen everywhere.

 The most conspicuous of all was Izuna's handwriting on a hanging scroll.

What's that?
He asked me to draw it for him. Here's one of Futa's.
It's true. ......

 Leeta looked around the store with great emotion.
 And then a voice from a customer who was visiting the store called out.

"Hey, hey, Izuna!
What do you want?
"Hey, listen...

 He called Izuna over and offered her some food as a substitute.
 In the center of the restaurant, Izuna was accompanying them as they talked.
 They laughed and seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere of the place.

"What about you, Izuna-san?



 And there were already some appetizers on the table.
 Anise, I think it's called. The girl with the distinctive hair band looked at Izuna with a soft smile and murmured.

She's our hero, she's the one who brought brightness to this store.
Hero......, how long have you been here, Izuna?
"About six months ago. He saved the store from a bit of a mess. He says it's cooler to do it than not to do it, but... ......It's not about what you do or don't do, it's about what you can or can't do, don't you think?
"...... I see.

 When I saw the commotion, I knew I could control it.
 So it was just a choice of doing or not doing.
 The thought that he might not be able to is not in his mind.

He said, "I've been reflecting a little bit lately, and I've cut back on the cool stuff. ...... I think I'm cool enough.

 Anise said with a glare.
 Motisuke nodded as he sipped his grape juice.
 So, Leeta asked them.

"What kind of person is Izuna to you?
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 You can see something in Anise's smiling face.
 I'm not sure what to make of this.

For Motisuke, the master is the ...... master.

 At this muttering, Leeta turns around.
 In the event that you have any questions concerning where and the best way to use the site, you can call us at the web site.

It's not just the fact that he's trying to be cool, it's also the fact that he's ...... trying so hard. And that there is only one goal.
"Your purpose, Izuna?
Yes. To make Futa Pomodoro a pussy.
"f*ck me.

 Anise laughed and hugged Mochisuke, nodding with a sense of mission.

I'm sure you're right! I'll have to beat up Futa-san next time!

 Anise's declaration must have been very loud.

 The whole store turned around and started chanting "beat Futa".
 At the center of the chorus, of course, was Izuna Sienzan.

 He scratches the back of his head in annoyance. But...

 --We're supposed to be the "cool" guys.

 Next thing you know, he's smiling and shouting.

"Whoo, watch the next tournament!
Oh, yeah!

 The cheers that erupted were like a spectacle itself.

 It's like a spectacle.
 Even a young man who looked like he'd never been here before was pumping his fist in the air.  


"Izuna.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

"What does spectacle mean to you?"

 The question may have come as a surprise.
 Her eyes widened a little. Then she turned to the noisy crowd.
 He laughed in a whisper that no one could hear.

"...... A stronghold, huh?
"A stronghold.
"Surprising? ...... Well, it's kind of lame. I think so too. I'm thinking, "What the f*ck is a man talking about?
That's not true.

 No, Leeta wanted to say.
 In fact, the spectacle is what makes the fencer stand. That's also true. But - for Izuna, it might be a lame thing.

But it's true. But it's true. Because of the spectacle, we can live coolly and proudly. ...... Maybe I forgot that in the Colosseum.

 Izuna Sienzan.
 From Ashigara, Akitsu Province.

I'm not going to forget it this time, and there are a lot of people in this capital who won't let me forget it.

 He has two swords, a hammer axe and black hawk karate. His unique battle style puts others at his mercy, and his overwhelming physical strength and height allow him to simply outclass his opponents.

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your trip.

 But the mind of this man with extraordinary power is no different from that of a normal person.
 Maybe that's why he's so well-liked.

Do you know the outer wall of the city? You can see all of King's Landing from there. I'm definitely a gaijin. It's my dream to one day be proud to say this is my city.

 A man who loves King's Landing and is loved by King's Landing talks about his place in Spectacular.

"I'm not the only one. Spectacula is a place where people from all walks of life come. Not just players, but spectators too. A place for them to come home to. That's what spectacula is. I'm not stupid, I get it.



 Izna Sienzan said with gentle eyes.
 The spectacle is a stronghold for the fighters and their audience.
 That's why it should be the most exciting place in King's Landing, and I should be the one to make it happen.

To do that, I have to defeat the champion first!

 The feeling of unity in the dining hall as he raised his fist.

 I wonder if the day will come when his shout will echo through the spectacle.
 I'm really looking forward to it.
