415-It's unlikely to go straight






 This is the second of three games with Megiddo. The Othello match was progressing with a back and forth battle, and finally the board was coming to the endgame.
 I would like to think that the game was evenly matched, but..... The board is already 'bright red' and there's no place to put a stone?

 Duh, apparently I lost. Why can't I win in this kind of board game? I lost to "Ou Danki" in the shogi game I played with Alice....
 

 No, no, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Oh, there are things I'm good at and things I'm not good at, too.
 I'm just not good at board games........le, I'm super good at Rubik's Cube and stuff! That's a personal best of 12 seconds! 

So it's settled, the second run is won by Megiddo, the King of War!
...that was a sad battle.
''........Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen Megide-san 'wondering if she should cut corners' in a fight.''

 Huh? That's it! Was I that weak? It's called a sad battle or something!

Kite I'm sorry about that.
Let's do the third one.
Well yes.

 The air is unbearable. Even Megiddo-san has a sad expression on her face....
 Yeah, let's get on with it. This air is very bad.

'.........Good! Get back on track, third one! This is the last game!
Yes!
"You look good, Kite. So let's get ready to go!
'What? What?

 With a wry smile, Mr. Megiddo flicked his finger, and with an earth-shaking sound, the landscape of the arena changed.
 Devices that look like amusement park attractions appear one after another, forming a circuitous course around the wide arena... Hey, wait a minute, this isn't what it looks like....

"The final game is the 'obstacle race'! After all, it's a body-to-body collision at the end of the day!
....

 Here comes the one that is completely unwinnable! What do you expect the slime to do, Mr. Megiddo?

Oh, don't worry, of course I won't be fighting a fight that Kite can't win. I'll make sure he's got a good head start.
...A handicap, huh?
'Oh! I'm going to have to use the same physical abilities as Kite. I'm not going to do anything impossible with your physical ability, and I won't make any impossible speed... Well, of course there is a difference in stamina, so it's 'Kite has magic use and I don't'!
...hmm.

 I see, that's true, then there might be a chance of winning.
 The fact that Megide-san is going to compete with the same physical abilities as me means that our speed and so forth are even.......Megide-san will have the stamina and skill, so it seems that I'll adjust that point by saying that I'm the only one who can use magic.

''........What will happen to the body strengthening magic?''
Yeah, I'm not using it. The kite is safe to use.

 Apparently, I can also use body enhancement magic. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to expect. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.
Oh!

 I've heard that the actual and the commentary will also serve as referees, but, well, Mr. Megiddo won't do anything differently than the conditions he said he would. I don't doubt that point for a minute.
  I can use autopilot........

 The problem is that the course is quite complicated and long........I'm worried about whether my stamina can hold up, but I've been running with Yona a lot too, and my stamina is getting better than it was when I first came to this world.
 I nodded to Megiddo-san to express my approval and we headed to the starting point together.







 When we stood at the starting point, we saw the first barrier that awaited us. Waiting about a hundred meters away was a scaffolding protruding from a pool of water...a barrier that looked like a stepping stone.
 It's not so much a wall as a slope with a considerable slope...well, it's hard to grasp the full extent from here, but it looks like there are quite a few ups and downs.

"By the way, I'm the one who made the gate.

 Wow the guy who is going to create a nasty barrier was in charge.
 This one is tough unless you have a certain amount of strategy in place...especially auto pilot. It's a powerful magic that delivers maximum performance with minimal movement, but it's difficult to use.
 It's impossible for me to keep it active all the time due to my magic power, and since I have to set up my movements, it takes time to prepare, so I need to use it well at the point of victory.

'Now, both men stand side by side, the final battle is about to begin! 'Commentator Fate, how do you see this game?'
'Hmmm. There are various hurdles to overcome, so it's just a matter of how to get past them. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of how to use it. I think the key will be the use of magic.''
'I see. Thank you. So we're both ready? Then it counts! Three, two, one, start!

 With Alice's signal, me and Megiddo-san start.
 After all, in terms of simple speed, I'm better than him with my body-enhancing magic, and we reach the first obstacle, the stepping stone, first.

 The sense of each stone isn't that wide, and if I fly while slowing down a bit.......

 Thinking so, I was about to jump over to the first foothold first, when Megiddo-san, who had caught up with me, leaped without slowing down at all.

''Eeeeee!''

 He then jumps to the first scaffold, leaps to a scaffold quite a distance away, and then leaps to the next scaffold in the manner of a handstand on his hands.
 It's as acrobatic as rhythmic gymnastics, quickly breaking through the first barrier.

 While being astonished by that much movement, I reflexively turn my attention to the play-by-play area where Alice and the others are... but the decision is white. Huh? Seriously? Can you do it? With my physical abilities, I can move like that!
 Oh, even with the same physical ability, there is such a difference between the people who move them.........This is going to be a tough fight.

 Dear Mom and Dad - the third match that finally arrived. The obstacle race with Megiddo-san has begun. Although I have the advantage in terms of ability, this is still, or rather, I don't know - not going to be a simple matter.
