The first thing you need to know is that the first round of the preliminary round was the most exciting. Although he regrettably disappeared in the first round of the finals, his ironclad defense like a giant tree that does not match his slender body is still intact. In this tournament, in addition to her absolute defense, you'll see the brilliance of her sword, which can cut down even the petals of flying flowers!　Leafy Lean Glide!

　Slowly, from the entrance gate, the famous warriors walked onto the cobblestones.
　The introduction was interjected at the same time as the opening proclamation, and everyone listened, recalling the battles of the past.
　The techniques of the Sakurahana Itto-ryu were the knowledge brought to her by her brother. It was exhilarating to see her defend against the attacks of so many fierce fighters with her sword.

　Fans who have known her since the beginning of the qualifying round shouted in unison.


Then came the star of the rugged guards. Her spear, which she uses to endure and endure and endure, is a fierce stronghold reminiscent of a heavy warrior who uses his physical strength rather than his defense. As a representative of the ordinary people who live hard day by day in this grand stage lined with glittering warriors. This time, you will be able to face the people you want to meet on the battlefield without any hiccups, so run to the top, Bob!

　There was a lot of booing, a lot of cheering. I'd like to draw attention to the fact that the man who is getting such a mixed reaction is just a guard.
　The way those who want to demean and those who want to praise are shouting at each other, as if to crush each other's voices, is a spectacle of unexpectedly contradictory wills intertwined and harmonized.

There's someone I want to meet. It's the same with me, that guy.

　In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at the particulars of the particulars.

"And here comes the man who showed the world that the name 'strongest qualifier' is not an exaggeration!　Although he was defeated in the first round of the tournament, he is still the second most talented fighter after the champion. The two swordsmanship of this dynamic and meticulous fighter is exactly what people are looking for!　This time, he's going to win the championship, and he's going to do it right here, Izuna Sienzan!

　Perhaps it was inevitable that the cheers for Bob were instantly drowned out. The name of the overwritten tone of voice was "expectation". This guy will do it, this guy will charm us.
　No matter how it turns out, his game is never off. Hopefully, we'll get to see him match up with some other guys this time.

"Hey, Izuna!
Yizna!
Win this time!　No, win!

　As a side note, Izuna's is the first time that a cheering squad has appeared in this spectacle. I'm not going to say who, but the fact that the girl standing at the center of the group is the signer of a certain diner should give you an idea of where the power lies.

There was one girl who turned down the "preferential quota" after her humiliating defeat in the last round. She said that losing to a qualifier after her first appearance was such a big deal. But you saw it too. We wondered if there was anyone among the qualifiers who could have fought that hard. Pure expectation from us. I'm entering this tournament with the will to redeem myself, Prim Lancaster!

　The girl waved her hand in a relaxed manner, but there was no sign of the resolve that the child in the commentary had expressed.
　However, those who could see the slight trembling of the spear in her grip could see it.

　This was to be a joyous swordfight, and an opportunity to redeem herself.

...... Well, I suppose half the reason I turned it down was because I thought the preliminaries would be fun.

　I'm sure you've heard of it. How did you know that?" Prim's surprise does not reach the audience.

"Oh, Prim!
Take it easy!
Hang in there!

　The crowd cheers with concern, and Prim turns her head slightly. You can't help but feel sorry for her and be worried about her after the way she lost.
　Believing that the only thing that can overturn this is her own strength, she looks forward once more.


And now, the pride and hope of the kingdom's nobility. The Lord Treasurer, who is now an honorary professor of the academy and synonymous with the arts and sciences, is here to announce his participation in the tournament once again. I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm not the only one who's a bit of a jerk. It is rumored that Richter L. Klingbloom has recently started to have a more colorful personal life!


　I could strip that redhead limb from limb and send him back to the court. Or better yet, kill him.
　He thought about it inwardly, but never said it out loud. Richter keeps his mouth shut and walks on with a blank expression.

　It was only this morning that I learned that I was rumored to be walking around with a pretty young lady more and more these days.
　In addition, it seemed that he had been overheard in the conversation, and he had no choice but to hold his head from the start of the tournament.

　The incident in the entrance hall, when he made that confessional declaration, was disheartening, but I thought that was all.

　Richter is famous among the aristocracy, but I cluck my tongue at my underestimation of his fame in the city.
　Rather, I have just learned that my name is now being bandied about as a synonym for "literary and martial arts" in the recent education of children.

　With a distant look in my eyes, I wondered if my tomorrow was guaranteed, and let out a sigh, knowing that I had to finish the tournament peacefully for now.

　My first round opponent is a tag team of headache and stomachache. Well, that's tough.

"Mr. Richter!　Hang in there!
Mr. Richter!

　Last time, it was the nobleman's people cheering him on like a raging bull.
　Apparently, this time he's a big hit with the kids in primary school.

　With children's expectations on their shoulders, no one can afford to lose.

"It's not easy being a 'nobleman' ......"

　But I'm not going to lose. He is the epitome of a hard worker.


And as you all know, the climax of the game is still vivid in your memory. From the qualifying round onward, they kept winning battle after battle. The number of victories is the highest in Spectacular. No matter what the predicament, they never give up in order to win. The queen of the arena, who is loved by those who like her, but not by those who dislike her, has once again appeared on the cobblestones!　Aylan B. Smiles!



　As usual, I walked leisurely under the blue sky with an umbrella in my hand that had the color of rusty iron. I had no intention of showing up at such a ceremony unless Lilac had asked me to, and I walked on with an annoyed air.

　The spectacle echoed with a mixture of cheering and shouting. Unlike Bob's, my ill feelings towards her were more due to the fact that I was cheering for the other players.

　He gently closed his umbrella and smiled happily at the vituperation.

　She stepped onto the cobblestones to the enthusiastic cheers of the spectacle, as if she were on fire.

　--There was no reason to provoke her, though.

　There was no reason to provoke her, but it was fun to think that next time, she would do whatever it took to snatch another victory from your favorite fighter.

　Was it a suppressed emotion, or...?

Either way, I'm going to win.

　Yes. If I close my eyes, I'm sure she'll be proud to say, "Winning is the best way to win! I'm sure she'll say with pride.

　But still," she thought, looking around the auditorium.
　Spectacula is such a big thing.




　Each fighter stands in a line around the lilac.


　Like a great army before a battle, they seemed to lift morale.
　The impatient people shouted to dissipate some of the heat. These voices create a chain of events that generates heat, a perpetual motion machine that heats up again.


"Well...


　A single word quelled the frenzy of the opening announcement on the cobblestones.
　Her Royal Highness, standing in the center of the crowd of fierce competitors.

In addition to these six, eight others, including myself and the champion in the commentator's seat, will participate in this tournament as "special guests. Sixteen pairs will be selected for the finals, and the winner will be the one who wins four games. Please enjoy it until the end.

　She smiled at Lilac and neatly connected her words in the tone of a pretty girl's voice.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you have.　I'm sure you'll all appreciate it!

　The number of general entrants to the qualifying round was more than double that of the previous round.
　The qualifying format is a battle royale for tag team survival. Same as last time.
　Those who have been sifted through the qualifying round, which is based on the number of surviving players, will finally enter the main tournament head-on.

　Unlike the first tournament, there is room for more players in the finals.
　The schedule for the qualifying rounds was the same as in the previous tournament, and the qualifying rounds were being handled smoothly.

"You bastard!　I thought she was my wife, but it's tea time with the princess!　And it's not enough to just surround yourself with the sunflower girl: ！！！！　I can't believe it.　I don't know why.　Why are people so unequal? ！！！！
I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what to do if I fail the qualifying round.

　In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at the following.

　He shakes his head at the princess and the preferential slot standing on the stone pavement.

No problem. I understand very well.

　He squinted at them as if assessing their strength and muttered.

"They're all strong. We can't be too careful. But on top of that.
"And on top of that?
"Compared to the only guy I ever lost to, I still have a chance."
Hmm. Okay. Then I'll do my best.

　The girl stretched out, her mouth relaxed like a cat's, and said.

"Good luck with that, bro.
"Yeah.

　The young man nodded, but smiled at the same time.
　It is true that the "preferential quota" on the cobblestones is not in short supply for the other party.

　But then again...
　That commentary table.

"This is going to be a fun fight.

　I'm really looking forward to seeing how he breaks it down.

"A fight's not worth having unless you have a superior opponent.




　And with that, the Silk Hat leaves the venue, and the crowd doesn't even look back.

　But the next day, they learned something.

　There was no doubt in their minds that this man, Drawza Greisinger, was the real contender in this preliminary round.
