My right hook cracks Amur's jaw with a hook to the side of the head.
　Amur crumbled from his knees. But I almost pushed him to his knees too.
　At the same time as my right hook, Amour's left fist had also hit my side. However, I was slightly faster than him, so I seemed to be able to hold back the power somewhat, but it still hurt quite a bit.

　Amur tried to hug me as he collapsed, but I ducked by jumping backwards while holding back the pain.
　As he fell to the ground, Amour's eyes still haven't lost their will to fight.
　If I give him time to do this, he'll come back up again.

　So, I walked behind Amour and........

Heeeee...

　He strangled Amur. To be precise, it wasn't the trachea, but the carotid artery choking technique, the so-called 'naked choke'.
　For a few seconds, Amur struggled to resist, but with his jaw hammered out and concussion, he couldn't do much, and eventually the strength left his limbs.

'Ref! You lost, lady! Boy, hurry up and get your hands off me!

　When I saw that Amur had stopped moving, Blanca came at me with a tremendous look on her face.
　I'm not going to be the only one who can do this.

"Yo, and.........

　As soon as I turned on the activity, Amur regained consciousness and began to check both sides.

　Then, when he realized I was behind him, he hurriedly got up and tried to move away, but as soon as he got up, he wobbled and almost fell over.

'You've lost, young lady. The young lady was out cold for a little while, you know.

　Blanca was relieved to see that Amur was safe and seemed to calm down a bit, supporting the fallen Amur as he told her the result of the match. Amur looked surprised for a moment, but quickly recovered and nodded.

'Individual final, match over! Winner, Temma!

　After confirming that Amur had regained consciousness, the referee declared my victory.
　As soon as he did so, the hall was filled with loud cheers and applause.
　My acquaintances were especially happy as if it was my own affair, and even Maria was wiping her eyes with her handkerchief.

　I waved to the audience and approached Amur.
　Amur was still standing on his feet, supported by Blanca.

'Good work,' he said. Stay still for a moment.

　I held my hand in front of Amour's face and cast a recovery spell.
　Since it was only a first aid measure, the bruises and other bruises didn't really disappear, but even so, the nosebleeds that had begun to appear again stopped.
　After the nosebleeds stopped, I held out my hand, and Amur looked at my face and hand in turn before shaking my hand.

'Boy, congratulations. I didn't expect you to be so unforgiving!

　Blanca teases me as she congratulates me. I guess what Branka is referring to is the final naked tightening.

'No. You wouldn't have stopped if you hadn't done that, would you? Amur is.....

　Hearing those words, he laughed, saying things like "it must be".
　As I was looking at Blanca, I felt the hand I was shaking with Amour was pulled back a bit.
　I looked at Amur to see what it was, and suddenly I was pulled in with great force. And.........

Tut.

　 Huh? Why am I being kissed by Amur....

　Suddenly, without warning, Amour took my lips away from me...
　I was confused by such an unexpected event, and I felt like pushing Amour away from me.

''Huh!''

　Amur smiles as if to say "I did it". But to me, that smile looks like a ravenous animal staring at its prey.
　Blanca, who received Amour, put her hand on her forehead and looked up.

''Idiot! Girl!

Phew!

　Blanca raised the hand she had placed on her forehead and dropped her knuckles on Amour's head. Then, Amour let go of consciousness again.
　Blanca lifted such Amour up.

''Ahhhh.......I'm sorry, kid. Just think you were bitten by a tiger and forget about it!

　With Amour on his shoulder, Blanca hurriedly leaves the scene... or maybe it would be fatal if the tiger bites him.
　I left the hall with my grandfather, who had come to my side before I knew it, thinking vaguely about such things.



'Temma, what is your relationship with that boy (Amur)?'

I don't know! I'd love to hear why you did that to me!

　I was in the waiting room, talking about what I had just said while Grandpa was being treated.

'Thanks, Grandpa. I'll take care of the rest myself.

　Since I'm better at recovery magic than my grandfather, I decided to do it myself, except for places I couldn't see, such as my back.
　I don't remember exactly what happened as I went back to the waiting room after that, but I heard that the auditorium was abuzz with excitement when Amur attacked them.

I don't remember much about it, but I heard that the audience was in uproar when Amur attacked them. And that in front of such a large crowd.......love at first sight?

　I don't know about that, but it looks like the person who can tell us about it is just around the corner.

'And you're going to explain that to me now, aren't you, Blanca?

　I felt a startled presence at the door. Grandpa seemed to know that someone was at the door, but he didn't seem to know who (...) and was surprised at me for guessing.

'That's right I'm interrupting you.

　Blanca, who had come in sluggishly, bowed her head when she saw me and Grandpa.

'I'm sorry! Your daughter has done something stupid!

　The first to open up, Blanca bows her head while apologizing. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.

It's not that he was harmed, but it's not that he was harmed, so what's the most important reason?

　When Grandpa asked him why, Blanca was reluctant to say.

'Anyway, you had a reason, didn't you? There was no harm done, but the damage was done, and I should have a right to know why, right?

　With those words, Blanca seemed to have made up her mind, and after taking a deep breath, she began to tell me why.

　

　Me and my grandpa froze at that bombshell. Ignoring us, Blanca continues to talk further.

''Your tribe ... well, it's my tribe too, but it's a pretty big tribe. There's an autonomous region in the south of this country that's mainly composed of beastmen. Your daughter is the only daughter of the biggest force there.

　What is called the "Southern Autonomous Region" exists in the south of this country. One of the characteristics of this region is that there are so many beastmen that it is also known as the "Beastman Autonomous Region", and although it is under the control of this country, it is said that due to their high fighting ability (.......), the king of three generations ago granted them autonomy.　

　Today, although their numbers are small, there are also beastman aristocrats, and perhaps due to their influence, the relationship between them is good.
　But even so, discrimination against the beastmen still exists, and there are some beastmen who moved to the Southern Autonomous Region because of it, and it is said that some of those who moved there have a grudge against the human race.
　It is said that this is why the king is troubled by the problems of the southern autonomous region once every few years even today.

"So you mean to say that she has declared a stronger Temma to be her husband?　

　Blanca nodded at Grandpa's words.

'I know there are some in my tribe and surrounding tribes that are stronger than the young lady, but they are few in number and all of them are much older and married. But close in age is no match for the young lady. But the young lady insists that she wants to marry a man who is stronger than she is. And the girl's parents said, 'You can get the one you like, of any race. That's how I sent the young lady off. I'm going to compete in this tournament, and you're going to use me as a chaperone....

　Incidentally, although Amur's father is an honorary viscount from the kingdom, he is more than an ordinary count in terms of strength. It's a good idea to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're doing.

'But the monk has veto power! Worst case scenario, I can handle it by force! The question is, will that get the lady to give up on it so kiddo. Sorry! Just think you're out of luck and give up following your daughter around!　

　If Amur were to give up, the only things he'd have to do is 1. find someone stronger than me in his own age group, 2. Amur can find someone he likes even if he doesn't care about strength, or 3. kill Amur.

　1 is a long shot since the gods have guaranteed his strength, and 3 is indeed impossible.
　So I can only hope that 2 will appear.

　While I was sighing, Grandpa blurted out.

There's more...

　And so on.
　It was getting close to the time when the final match of the pairs would begin, but after all that talk, I felt too lazy to go watch, so I decided to take a break as it was.

　Incidentally, when I asked Blanca how Amour was doing, she smiled and.......

I'm not going to kiss you all of a sudden. I've left her wrapped up in the bed as a spanking as well. So don't worry! I won't appear in front of the monk until this tournament is over! ...should be.

　And then he left the room.


　While I was having lunch in the waiting room, an official came over to tell me that the pairs' final had finished.
　Apparently, the time for the team finals had been moved because we were halfway through the tournament, and it would start in two hours from now.
　This seemed to be out of consideration for my consecutive games, and the other side agreed.

Yes, I understand. When the time is up, we can go back to the aisle I mentioned earlier, right?

'That's right. An attendant will come to pick you up, but please keep that in mind.

　After the attendant left, I opened the bag I had left with my grandpa.

''Guh~''

　
　As I'm feeding them additional food, being careful not to eat too much, Namitaro comes up to me, grinning.

'Temma you're close to the grave of life!

　It comes with a nice smile on its face and turns its pectoral fins to me. Probably, he's trying to give me a thumbs-up, but I can't tell by looking at him.

'Shut up!'

　The expression on Namitaro's face was irritating, and I kicked him without thinking, but Namitaro's scales were quite hard, and it hurt my leg in reverse.

'I'm fine~Temma~'

　Grinning, Namitaro pokes fun at me, pretending to be worried.

''Well I'll give you a thunderbolt.

I apologize. Please give me a break!

　Even Nami Taro, as expected, is afraid of lightning. Do you get down on your knees right in front of me? I apologize for doing so, so I call it a day.

'By the way, changing the subject, how do you plan to compete in the finals?'

　Namitaro is saying, who is dealing with whom? I guess that's what it means.
　I thought about it for a bit, then decided on a combination.

'First of all, the Wyvern variants will be aerial combat, so Solomon would be the right choice. The other side is bigger and faster, but in areas with a defined range, Solomon, with his small maneuverability, should have a chance to win. However, if there's an opening, Namitarou should join in. You have at least one or two ways to attack in the air, right?

　I'm sure the all-or-nothing Nami Taro would have some anti-aircraft skills.
　I had this strange conviction, and when I asked him about it, he laughed wryly.

"You have no idea who I am! I'm going to show you my trump card!

　Namitaro snorted and got into it.

'So, I'll take care of the trolls and cyclops. Those guys are strong, but slow moving and seem to be more effective with their blows, so I'll do the best I can.

　I've hunted ogres a few times, so as long as they're the same giant species, it won't make much difference.

''Then the other two are Shiroumaru and Slarin's prey!

　Namitaro said and looked at Shiroumaru and Slarin, but that was a bit different.

'No, Shiroumaru and Slarin will only deal with someone other than the tamer (...)

　Slarin and Shiroumar nod their heads at my words.

'Look, what about the tamer?　

　Namitaro looked curious too, but I had an idea about that.

'I dare to ignore it. Unless they attack us, I don't think he'll go on the offensive himself until the enemy gets close. So I'll beat the other guys first, then hit them!

　The strongest of those guys would probably be the tamer. If a guy like that doesn't join the fight from the start, then leaving him alone until the last minute would be the least amount of damage.
　Well, it would be easiest if that guy retired where he was left alone....

'I don't think we're that strong of an opponent in a normal fight. But let's not let up and go!

　Each of them replied in a spirited manner as if they were following my words.

'There is still time for us, but they are impatient.

　We were too quick to get into it, just as Grandpa had murmured, and then we were sodden about ten minutes later and had to get back into it again.
