I want to fight this guy.

After the game, White muttered at the opening of the game.
Well, it's going to happen, isn't it?
That's what happens when you watch a match, right?

'You're going to tell me why, aren't you?
....

The match was straightforward, and I think it was a typical Knight Commander's match in the sense that it was a display of strength.
........although there were some signs of battle frenzy.
Indeed, if the match was held at that rate, there might not be a problem with sending White out to find out about his competence.
But I couldn't overlook the piece of madness I felt earlier in the Knight Commander's madness and White's earlier appearance.

''Huh I wouldn't want you to fight if I could.
But....

Don't you pull it off........
He's usually selfish, but he listens to me when I really don't like it, but........
When it comes to this, no matter what I do, I have to ask the reason for it to be accepted.

'White, make sure you tell me what you're thinking.
....
Otherwise, I won't allow it.

At the moment, I have no intention of giving permission to listen to the story, but if I don't listen to the story, I don't know anything and can't start.

''.........White, if we don't stop that man, the Lord is in danger......''
"...Heh?　Me?

Wait a minute.
We've already decided he's a battle freak, but why me?
I have almost no combat power, and the only skill I can use is 'Invisible Prison (Invisible Jail)', and it's a defensive skill that can't be used to attack if you have magic resistance.

''White, what do you mean by that?''
I just came across that guy. I've been having alarms going off in my head ever since. If he keeps going like that, he's going to get the Lord out of it.
Sorry, I don't know what that means.
Hmmm.........I'm not good at explaining....... Hmmm.........is that man in distress?　Are you in a tight spot?　It felt like. It felt like he was thinking that maybe he didn't want to fight, but that he had to.

I was trapped....
Well, I do know what you're going to say.
The old man said he was joking about killing me to fight White, but he was complaining about it.
I'm sure he was more or less sincere in his fear.
I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.
The common sense of this world is different from the original world.......I know, but I've also confirmed that Ayame's words and actions don't allow me to go that far.

And I don't understand that we have to fight.
If you want to fight, I don't know that you have to.
And even more so when it comes to fighting to the death with all your might.

You mean I'm going to get killed so you can fight White?
Hmm.... That's not all. If you kill the Lord, Hayato will be angry too.

It's not a wish, but a mission.
Then there is a good chance that it's not a pretend possibility.
It's only a possibility.
But since White, who is an expert in the combat aspect, seems to be so worried about it, it might be better to see it happen.

I'm sure I've noticed something strange about him. He didn't talk to anyone about the reason, he just seemed to be thinking about something, but.......would he go that far?
''Iris-sama........I am sorry to say this, but looking at Arnold-sama's recent behavior, it's not a strange story....... I was on the scene just now, and it is true that I could see some seriousness in what he said at that time.
Well..... Then maybe it's not impossible.

The addition of the opinions of Iris and Ayame, who probably knew Arnold much better than I did, made it seem more believable.

'Then that's exactly what we should do, run away from them, right?
Lord, can you live with the idea that you might get attacked by Arnold all the time?
''Ah......... Impossible.........

Well.........
If you want to fight White for real, you don't have to do it during this tournament.
I know that if he attacks suddenly and kills me, or even attacks me, White will be enraged and will have no choice but to fight.

'No, but that would put White in danger.
'If we run away and get caught by surprise, White will fight him head on, one on one, and take him down. It's still safer and more likely that way.
Can we win...?
I don't know. But I want to protect the Lord. But I want you to trust me.

I could feel how White felt about me.
The fear that he might attack me is beginning to set in.
But I don't want White to get hurt and die instead of me.
If I'm going to be honest, I want to escape. I want him to run away.
But I had a feeling that the fear I felt at that time would follow me wherever I went.
So..........

I'm sorry. Can you do me a favor?
Hmm. Sure.

Terrible Lord.....
But there's something I can do, too.
If White will think of me and act for me, I will think of him and act for him.

But you have to promise me one thing.
"Hm.
Don't push yourself. It's only a match, so I don't care if you have to give up in the middle of it. Please don't die. ...There's plenty of things you can do if you're still alive.
Hm. Okay. Thank you. Lord, I love you.

Yeah, me too.

'White are you okay?
"Wendy, it's just White's theory. ...but it's better to be careful.
'Yes, but.... Isn't there a safer solution?
"...since we don't know when they'll be here, we need to take action as soon as possible.
White....
It's okay. I made a promise to the Lord. I'm not going to die.

f*ck..........
I want to squeezing, but Iris is in the way........
Shall I put her down once?
There's no way to do that, so it can't be helped.

Here, give me your little finger.
Pinky?
'In my old world, when I say promise, this is what I mean.

I twist my little finger around the little finger that White gave me.

If you lie, your finger is cut off and the needle is removed. I cut off my finger.
Needles you're going to drink a thousand of them?
I mean, that's all you need to know.
A terrible ritual...

Sure, I've been using it since I was a kid when I thought about it, but a thousand needles for ten thousand fists is a bit much, isn't it?
White is pulling and trembling, but when his face changes to one of an idea, he leans forward and places his small lips on my cheek.

''Ah!''
A ceremony to keep Shiloh's promise. The Lord will return it next time.
Yes, sir.
'Ah!

He put his lips lightly on White's cheek as well, and they both laughed when they saw a surprised Wendy with her mouth open.

''Well then. White will go talk to you in the waiting room.
Yeah, I promise.
Hmm. Promise.

White held up his little finger and left.
I watch him until he's out of sight, and then I turn to Wendy, who's looking at me with resentment.

'Well,'
Uh.....
Well.....
Umm....
'Oh..... Mr. Wendy?

Why are you puffing out your cheeks and pointing your finger at me?

I'm going to...
No. That was a ceremony to keep White's promise.

Next time. I'm just going out for a while.
... yes. Okay. Have a good day.

Wendy is a little swollen, but when she lifts her head up, she smiles and sends me off.

''Well you don't ask me where we're going or anything?''
I don't know. It's pretty much a given.

Oh, you're reading this?

But will you promise not to do anything dangerous?
Yeah, I promise.
Okay, yeah.

Wendy points to her cheeks again.
Okay. I understand.
I moved my face closer to Wendy, who was waiting impatiently with her eyes closed, but I suddenly felt like playing a prank.

'Hum.'
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I sucked my ear instead of the cheek Wendy was turning to, and she screamed in surprise as she jumped up and down.

'Mo, god. What are you doing all of a sudden!'
Ha-ha. You're all red in the face.
'That's because Master would do that out of the blue!
'A cheeky nipple is a ceremony to keep White's promise, right?　As for me, you see, sucking my ear is a ritual that I keep my promise.

I was reasonable.
And I got to see some pretty faces, so I'm happy with that!

So it's time to...
You're not. Do it yourself.
Hmm?　Okay. I promise you that too.
Ayame. If you do this to my kid, take his head off!
Yes, sir. Okay, then get the hell out of here. You f*cking pervert!

Oh, wow.
That was a serious look, now.
But you know, when someone beautiful calls you a pervert, you cringe.
I'm really ready for anything....

Now, Emily, I have a favor to ask you, but can you come with me?
What?　Are you trying to drag me into your perverted world?　I'm going to tell Hayato.
"No, I'm not rotten enough to mess with my friend's girl, so...
Well, all right. So, where are you going?
Um... your room?
I'm going to go tell Hayato.
You're such a chameleon...
Brother this is terrible.
Master....
My lord I'm about to fight White...
Should I cut it?　Let's cut it down.

That's out of mind, wait.
Don't make a mistake, come to think of it, did I do the same thing to the Knight Commander?
I've done a bad thing........

''No, so what?　Because it's not, right?　I mean, does everyone think I'm a bottom-feeder?
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
...no?

I managed to shake it out and say it, but my voice trembled.
No, because I didn't expect to hear from all those people, 'What, what is this guy saying? I didn't think you'd say that to my face.
Now I'm about to cry a little bit.
Only Master Spurrier said, "What?　Huh? I guess it helps that you don't seem to understand that.
I'd like to see you stay intact and untainted and untainted by these guys, if possible.
Aside from Wendy................Chris was cooking with them and stuff!
You know, something about cooking a healthy, fun-filled meal was going to spark something of a friendship!

'Then what are you going to my room for?'
Uh ... it's not quite right here...
"...my room all the way down to my room oh, I see. Oh, yeah. All right, then. Well, let's go then.

You're so perceptive, Emily!
It would have been most helpful if I had it, but, well, I'm not going to the dungeon and I'm not going to carry it around.
Honestly, would Iris be okay with that?　But there are noblemen and guards here.
You don't want to have a guard who has an insanely good ear.

What, are you sure, Emily?
Yes. If I feel like I'm about to be attacked, I'll call you.
Okay.
No, it's probably because I'm the weakest.

I'm only level 7.
He looks like a wizard, but at least he's probably a level higher than me, so I'm confident he'll beat me to death.

'Oh, you're going out?　I know it's late, but I came to get lunch and....
'Solte, you're in the right place. Tell that to these guys!　I'm not a bottom-feeder, am I?!
Oh, no?
'Then Ainaaah!
''Uh.........''

How dare you look away!
No, you don't have to tell me!
The last line of defense, please, Renge!

Renge...
Hmm...... That's not true. Your husband isn't like that.
'Renge!

You, my dear, I'm proud of you!
It's Mr. Wrenge!
Oh, those beautiful thighs still look radiant today.
Let's do some cheekbones later!

Speaking of.........now that you mention it, your husband's opinion of you is going to go through the roof.

You don't think it's a calculation...?

Okay, that's fine!　Yeah, look at that!　Did you hear that, boys!
Well I'm glad you're okay with it.
Yeah. Yeah, all right. If we're going to go, let's go quickly...
Master....

Hey, why are you guys looking at me like I'm some kind of poor guy?
Sorte, Aina, don't turn away from me.
Why are you patting me on the back too, Renge?
Watch the d*mn thing....

''Uh-oh. Oh, I'll leave some food for you.

I regained my composure as I put Solte and the others' lunch on the table.

'Oh, thanks. Um, go ahead?
I'm off. Wow.
...you're still going on.
"Gun Valley Emily.
''Huh.......maybe I'll ask you to make one of the aphrodisiacs for Hayato later.......''
Oh, I got a great one. He's a great guy.
Oh, well, you'll get paid accordingly.
Yes, sir. See you guys for a while. .... ahhhhhhh.
Oh, you keep going. Yes, yes. Come on, get going.

It's not going to be a knock-off.
Well, it's Emily, and it's interesting to see if she's knocked off.
It's not going to ruin the image.

So let's get to the action, shall we?
I have faith in White.
But that doesn't mean I can't believe it and downplay the problem to the point where I can accept that the worst thing that could have happened is if I had been naive and watched it happen.
Then I'll do what I can.

Since White is only talking about the possibilities and working on them, I should also be prepared for the worst case scenario.


What I don't know is what I heard later from Wendy and everyone else.

"Where did he go, by the way?　The straw chair....
What?
Well you're not expecting that, are you?
I don't know.... I just thought it would work for White.
What?　What are you talking about?

When Solte, who didn't know what happened, talked to him, he said that once he was surprised, he resumed eating normally.

''Hmm. I'm not sure if it's a good idea. That sounds dangerous.''
Isn't the reaction light...?
Yeah, because the Lord is already on the move, right?
Yeah. Then it should be no problem.
Yeah. They're probably working hard right now, aren't they?
What is that absolute confidence........ Could it be that guy is actually extremely strong?
When I pulled away, he was screaming about squirming and stuff.
Details. I mean, who is it?　Did you hook up with another woman, Master?
'No details, nothing, and that's it. Also, I didn't get hooked up with that man.
'Huh... there was a time when I felt that way too...'
'Please don't give me the seniority wind. I won't be.
Yeah, yeah, I know.

Sorte said he felt like he was looking at his past.
And he said with jealousy at the appearance of a new woman.

'Can I go back to the story...?
Yes, my lord is very weak.
Right. Maybe here.........maybe you can beat Chris or not?
'What?　Is it me...?　I'm at a low level, and I don't think I can beat your brother.......
What level are you at, by the way?
24....
Uh ... just in time for the Lord to lose.
If you don't have the skills, you'll lose.
You're going to get your ass kicked to pieces.
How low is that guy...

That's a horrible thing to say when I'm not around.
And Chris doesn't do that.
He's a good boy.

You're all right then, why are you so relieved?
My Lord, well, he's weak. But, well, if you're willing to do it, then you'll be fine.
'Hmm. It is not for lack of strength. Because a lord's strength is not military strength, but another kind of strength.
Sometimes, though, he's super cool!
I'm usually a good-looking guy.
Wendy is a damsel in distress, and she's blind in love.
''Yeah?　Isn't that pretty cool?
Uh ... there's another damsel.
Isn't it cool?
I've added more. Well, I'm the one calling myself "super", you know?

I look great!
I was embarrassed, because I'm not so smart as to be conceited.
By the way, Iris told me this story in a pleasant manner, and she grinned all the way through and teased me about how cool it was.

I wonder what she's going to do about it. Once the game starts, there is nothing you can do about it," he said.　There are wards in the audience and soldiers in the doorway.
'I don't know that much..... But if you ask me to, I'll at least open up a blood trail.
Well, I don't suppose you'd ask me to do that.
Right. You are indeed a wanted man.
Or rather, since my wife is listening to me, I'll stop...

I chickened out when I was told later that I almost became a criminal.
Oh my God, they all have a lot of blood on their hands.
I wonder if they can't come up with something more elegant like this, like me.
...Well, maybe I'm the only one who can do that.

You know what a great guy is, by the way?
I don't know.
Yes, sir.
Wendy would know, right?
...Sirimasenyo?
You know.
You know what I'm talking about.
I think I know.
I don't know. But isn't it amazing?
I don't know what's so great about it.
'Well?　But hasn't the Lord used it before?　Because I know it works.

Wendy apparently sensed at this point that there was no way to escape it, no matter how hard she tried.
Then she replied as if she had given up.

''Well maybe, but I thought I could do it about a dozen times with just one drop in a glass of water.
'It's also...'
What a terrible potion..... I wonder if my Lord's body is okay...?
Isn't that a dangerous drug or...?
So?　How was it?!
I don't know!
Good. We're all girls in here, remember?
There are some things girls can't talk about, even with each other!

For the first time, I learned that girl talk is full of graphic stories that a man would pull out if he listened to them, even though I thought they were sweet and fluffy.
And after that, she continued to talk about it, which made Master Spurrier more knowledgeable.
