Ooh, that's a lot of people.

　Alexia and I came to the training ground where today's event will take place, but I was overwhelmed by the huge number of people there. I wasn't looking at the bleachers, but at the exercise area.

　Of course, there are quite a few people in the bleachers as well, who have come to catch a glimpse of me getting married to Alexia and the others. But even more than that number of people, soldiers and mercenaries, who are armed with weapons somewhere on their bodies, are standing at the venue.

　The number is around 2,000. The number of people who can enter is probably because this venue is used for military exercises. I wonder if they know who hired them?

'Whoa!　You're a great guy, Mom!

Well, Elene, you're a great guy.

　Next to me, Elene, who was holding hands with Aeris, was frolicking in surprise at the amount of people in the room. Allen was so surprised by this amount of people that he buried his face in Alexia's chest.

'Ray-kun, I don't think you're going to lose, but be careful, okay?

Yeah, you guys can watch in peace.

Daddy, good luck!

Ooo!　Whoa!　I'll do my best for Elene, Dad!

　Crap!　The past month's hard work has been worth it!　At first it was from an older brother I didn't know, but after I showed him the golem play, he slowly got used to it, and now he's even called me Dad.

　Allen still isn't as good as Elene, but he still doesn't hide in surprise like before.

　I said goodbye to everyone and continued on to the hall. The kings of each country have already arrived at the guest of honor table. Among them, of course, is Mitia-san. Milua is with Alexia and the others, so she should be fine.

　When I go to the hall, the opponents are divided to the left and right as if they were split. From between the division, the nobles who were screaming yesterday, led by Debbie, walked in.

You're not going to be able to get away with it. But you're not going to win with this many. If you surrender now, you'll be spared your life.　Now what?

　You're smirking and grinning, you creepy bastard. I take out a Galadruk from my item ring and make a circle about a meter in diameter around myself. The fat guys come over to look at me quizzically, and I grin at them.

'It's no fun just doing it, so I'll give you a handicap. You win if you take me out of the circle and I win if all the participants you've prepared faint or surrender. How's that for you?

　When I say that, the nobles around me get red-faced and angry, but only Fatty stops the surrounding nobles with a grin. Only this guy has the luxury of greatness. What is it?

'Goof, fine. But even if you get out of that circle, the fight won't be over even if the winner is decided, will it?

　Debbie says that and walks out of the hall. They'll probably say they're going to kill him anyway. And as the fatties leave, the participants prepare to unleash their weapons and magic.

　Some of them will lose their temper when they hear the victory conditions I mentioned earlier, while others will look at me and turn blue. Dagris stands as the judge, saying that he doesn't care about such things.

　Dagris is a father of three children who is assisting General Melia, the general of the Lanwalker Kingdom. Renee gave birth to her first son and Alma gave birth to her twin sisters, I think. You'll see him playing with Elene and the others from time to time.

''Then the terms of victory or defeat are as we've just heard. Neither side should do anything rash.

　Dagris says, but his eyes are on me. I'm not doing anything rash. Really?　There's no way I'm going to do anything bloody with Allen and Elene watching.

''Well then ... begin!

　The magic that is released all at once as Dagris gives the signal to start. Oh, it was released at just the right time, as if we had talked about it beforehand, even though we didn't train it. The wizards who released it are laughing at me for not trying to get out of the circle, but now what do I do?

　I could release the magic power and make it disappear, but that doesn't really show how great it is. I'll just deal with Galadruk to prevent it from leaving the circle.

　I'm going to be able to shake off the magic that's coming at me by pouring magic power into Galadruk. Whoa, this is starting to get kind of fun. I drown them out with the tip of my ear and shake them off with a stone thrust.

　To the participants, it must look like magic is just pouring down on them. Laughter can be heard mixed in with the magic. But I hear more than that.

Daddy, whoo!

　My darling daughter's support. If I had my daughter's support, I wouldn't feel like I could beat a demon again!

'Let's show Elene how cool we are!　The Thunderbolt Annihilation Spear!

　I shed my magic power and shake off the electrically charged Galadluk to the side. My vision opens up at once. Beyond that, I see a fat man frozen in place with a high smile on his face. He must have been in the best position to see me die. He wanted to be at the front of the auditorium.

　There's a ward that Caro made to prevent damage to the audience, but let's break through it, that bastard. But I don't want to do that because that would make Caro mad. You saved your life, fatty.

　Meanwhile, the vanguard guys among the participants, who were surprised that I wasn't hurt at all, were closing in on me with their weapons at the ready.

　There were also a few soldiers here and there that I recognized. Huh?　I think that guy is a... yeah, that's Grand. I've seen him talking to Aeris a few times. So he was in on it. I don't know if he ordered it or if it was his idea.

　I wipe off the approaching participants to keep them away from the circle. Just enough to make them faint so they don't get seriously injured. It's fine because I can heal myself if I get hurt, but honestly, doing this many people is a pain in the ass.

　By the time I've made about 100 people pass out, there are no more of them approaching me. The ground is even further back than before. What should we do? Maybe I'll unleash my magic.

　As I was thinking about this, a man wearing a mask came from among the participants. And Debbie's tensions rise. Is he the guy Fatty hired?

　He has a mask like a clown and a head of black hair. In his hands, he holds a sword that looks like a magic sword. A double sword. And the magic power I've felt.

''I'm going.

　It's been three years. I don't know why I'm working for this guy, but I'm gonna give it a shot.

Yeah. Come on.
