The Four Jinnari Sei, the tournament to determine the challenger, begins.

　The three contestants are a dark elf woman named Karen (・・・・・・), our maid, Champagne, and me. The winner of this one will be able to challenge a dark elf man named Raden, the current Four Jinnari Saint.

　I was the seed. Therefore, I would have to fight either Karen or Champagne. ......


'Why would I be the Seed?'
Are you still talking to me, Mister Second?
I'm a first-timer, remember?　I heard Karen wasn't a first-time entrant. So why not seed her then?
It's a fair draw, I'm afraid.
No, no, no. ......

　No, notice that the lottery is wrong. There was no need for us to draw lots in the first place.

　I heard that there was a strong push behind the scenes from all sides to make me the seed. In the end, the management of the title fight relented and a lottery was held to seed either me or Karen, and as a result, it was decided on me. It's doubtful if the lottery was really held or not. Yukari, who wondered about the tournament list that was announced just before the event, used Eve's team to investigate the matter, so it's pretty reliable information.


''Don't be silly. I'm going to go to Mine for a bit.
Master, they are already in the center of the arena. This can no longer be reversed.
No, if not overturned, then complaining about it.

'Besides - the problem is more deep-rooted than the master realizes.


　...... deep-rooted?

　Yukari, who said that and held me back, had a somewhat cold face.


''Although it has been relatively reduced, discrimination (...) still remains in this kingdom as well.


　Hey, ...... that's it.


............ a dark elf.
Yes, sir.
'She was removed from the Seed because she was a dark elf?
Probably.
...... I knew you'd go to Mine.
'I'm sure His Majesty has done a great job. 'His Majesty knows as well as I do that his master is more passionate about the title fight than anyone else.
So how the hell do I get to be the Seed?
"Most of the movers and shakers in the kingdom are in favor of discrimination against the dark elves.

..................

　All I could do was spread my hands out and point them upwards with a dumbfounded "impossible" look on my face and sit down roughly.

　People, when you're really dumbfounded, you're speechless.


　...... No, you idiot, chill out. Yukari, who should be the most indignant person in the room, is so nonchalant about this. My master shouldn't be getting all hot and bothered on his own.

'Second Lord ...... this is not something to be allowed to happen!　You've got to be kidding me!　I thought the imperial dogs had disappeared and the kingdom's nobles were a little better off, but I didn't realize they were still as rotten as this: ......!

　There was one guy next to me who was getting hot, too. I like that about Sylvia.

　But I realized that this isn't something that can be solved by getting hot. Yes, Yukari is right, it's a deep-rooted problem.


''Master, I'm glad you have calmed down. So I have one suggestion for you.

　He's here.
　Brilliant, Yukari, you know me so well.

You've been struggling with it too, haven't you?

''No, I don't really care how my people are treated, but I have only consulted with my genie for a little while because I thought the master might not be happy with it.


　Oh, ...... (I guess)

You're done.

　Sylvia said with a clear look on her face even before things started. 'I agree with you.

''The story is simple. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world," he said. He said to leave the rest up to him.
That's something ...... is capable of doing, that guy.
We already have it.
'Oh, yes. And the Countess of Ormun?
It's worth noting.
Okay, I'll tell you three times.

　That's the Ormun family. I thought that the family that raised a young lady who would say "what is not noble is not human" would naturally discriminate against the dark elves as well, but I was right on the money.
　The Ormun family is going to be a mess for the rest of the day. After all, the Champagne Fana that Tivo Ormoon used to bully in his school days is now ......!


'Master. Please bear in mind that it is impossible to get rid of discrimination all at once. However, when someone like you, who attracts people's attention, leads the way, people's awareness of discrimination will slowly but steadily change. It is a slow and steady process, but I am very glad that you have decided to take the first step.

Yukari is more of a tsundere than you might think: ......

...... Yes?

　You say, "I don't care how my people are treated," and then you say, "I don't care how my people are treated," and then you do this.


It means you're pretty.

......, thank you very much.

　A body that turns red to the tips of its ears at the mention of a single compliment is honesty itself, though.



　　* * * *



'Ohohohoho!　The time has come at last!

　Walking out into the center of the arena was a young lady in a maid's outfit, with long blonde hair in fluffy waves and perfect makeup.

　She had spent more than an hour this morning setting her hair and makeup, arranging every detail of her maid's outfit, changing her perfume to a newly purchased and expensive one, and her underwear to the one army that she liked the most, and she was at her best and strongest and most spirited.


'You're lying ...... really, Panny (...)?'

　First of all, those who knew her as a student were taken aback by her appearance.

　The daughter of a fallen nobleman, she was bullied day in and day out, unable to resist and finally reduced to slavery, the female student, Champagne Fana. In the end, she is a slave.

　It's also a good idea to have a good time with them. A noblewoman, for example, can clearly be seen as beneath them.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends.


　In addition, everyone understood who Champagne's backers were. That's why it makes them pale so much.

　In this Castal Kingdom, the person that the nobles most want to avoid antagonizing, the unmanned, unrestrained and unrestrained, the strongest, strongest and most powerful ambassador of all.


　The maid's uniform that Champagne proudly wore said it all.

　An out-of-the-ordinary group of people who have a number of people, even title fighters, as servants (...). Everyone knew that if they were stared at, it was the 'end'.


''--Oh, Tivo-san, you're in a good mood. Are you blue in the face and not feeling well?

'What?　Well, well, well, Master Sherry, you're in a good mood. I haven't seen you since the other night's ballroom party.

"--Oh, I'm here? Totally weird place to meet, you two.

'What?　Soooo, Sir Steam, I never thought I'd see you here at .......

Don't do that, Tivo Ormun. Oh, Cherie, thank you. I'll say hello to you again at our anniversary party later.

'You'll be there this time!　I am delighted. With all due respect, I will greet you then as well.

'Yeah, that's good. It's almost time for the game to start, you know.


　Countess Tivo Ormun, the ringleader of the bullying, has been secretly sent an invitation to the Four Jari Crusade.

　The invitee's name is the Second First Test Plenipotentiary. It was impossible for the Countess to refuse the invitation.

　The place was a special seat in the front row. However, next to her was Countess and Reiou contestant Sherry Lumberjack, who was seated next to her. On the other side, next to him, was General Senju Shou battle contestant Steam Bitter Valley Frontier Count. It's an unusually uncomfortable seat for Teebo.

　It's a small revenge of the head maid for her subordinates. I told them what had happened, and they answered immediately. The young lady was very upset. The frontier count had a very unpleasant smile on his face.


But as expected of you, Second Lord, I didn't know you had trained such a talented and beautiful servant.
Second is willing to cultivate not only himself, but his people as well, so ...... my brother and I can't afford to lose.
'Yes, the Lumberjacks are safe, aren't they? I wish I could say that I can't lose, but I don't think I can beat Mr. Champagne either, at present.
'Lord Steam, I'm worried about the border if you're so weak: ......, what's that weapon?'
"Don't worry about the borders of ...... and that weapon is ...... rainbow naginata.
"Lies ...... the rainbow cleaver, the legendary ...... that the rainbow dragon drops?
''She even beat the rainbow dragon already. ......
'Mr. Tivo, isn't that great, Mr. Champagne?　Hey?　Isn't that great?
'Yeah, yeah ...... it's awesome ......'
"Conquering the dungeons of the Metio dungeons is a true accomplishment. Don't you agree?　Tivo Omn.
'Yes, yes ...... it's an accomplishment ......
'I'm sure you had a great school year. I wish I could have gone to such a great school.
'I wonder where her alma mater was. 'I'll have to ask the Second Lord at the anniversary party. Hey, I'm sure you're wondering about that too.　Tivo Omn.
I'm curious. ...... ha ha ha ha ha ......


　Steam and Sherry interrupt the tivo and say a series of words to raise the champagne.

　Yes, I didn't know that the Countess of the Ormun family sitting next to me had bullied Champagne in the past.

　...... No, no, I don't know wind (...).

　The two of them know all about it. They even know that the Second defeated the rainbow dragon, drew 2% of the rainbow naginata drop, gave it to Champagne, and she even jumped up and down in tears of joy. It's no surprise that he heard it from the person who defeated the rainbow dragon.

　Hence, for this occasion, it was assumed that Champagne had defeated the rainbow dragon and that Champagne had also obtained the rainbow naginata. Because it would be more effective against Tivo (...).


　From then on, this situation continued until the end of the Four Jari Crusade.
　It was truly hell for Teebo: .......




It's nice to meet you, Karen, I'm Champagne. Henceforth, please get acquainted.
Nice to meet you, Champagne.

　Facing Champagne is a dark elf woman. Her name was Karen.

　She was twenty-eight years old, but in appearance she was as young as a human in her late teens. She had brown skin and long ears, her gray hair was cut short and her golden eyes peeked out from the gaps in her bangs.

　Her appearance resembled the Raden Four Jari Holy. It's a good idea to be able to have a look at the following information


I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.　Are you a nobleman?　Are you a maid?
"Good to see you. "The lady's maid, sir."
...... Yeah, yeah.

　It's really confusing whether she's a young lady in a maid's outfit or a ladylike maid. It's more of the latter, but it's also the former, albeit a fallen one. It's really confusing. Hence, Karen was confused, but .......


''But, well, then--the enemy (...)


　When he heard that she was a young lady, he changed his eyes.


''I see that you have an uncompromising sense of pride in ...... Karen-san, too. Fine, I'll take care of you.

Well. You're quite a sight for a nobleman.


　The two men stared at each other, keeping their distance.

'--Courtesy of each other!　Ready!

　Karen took out from her inventory, the Mithril Spear. It is a light, strong and easy to handle spear.

　On the other hand, Champagne took out the Niji-no-Naginata. It is a rare weapon that was dropped from the rainbow dragon. In Mevion, cleave swords are also included in the [Spear Technique]. For the past half a year, Champagne has been honing this powerful cleaver with his partner. It's not an exaggeration to say that thanks to this cleaver, he's able to stand out from the crowd of servants.


'...... tch ......'

　Karen looked at the rainbow naginata and clicked her tongue.

　She regretted saying that there was something to see and so on. It was a terrible misunderstanding.

　-- such a terrific-looking weapon, they must have gotten it for money, this is why the nobles are ...... and that's what she thought.


　She hated the nobles.

　It's not hard to imagine why.

　Just living as a dark elf was enough of a reason to hate the nobles to pile up every day.


''--Start!


　The call of the judges rings out.

　Next moment.

'......!'

　Karen's eyes widened, and then she sprinted as fast as she could.

　The skill that Champagne began to prepare almost at the same time as the command - 《Long Horse Spear Technique》 is a powerful long-range attack to the front (・・・・・).

　The strongest first move of the opening, without any mercy at all.


''I won't let him shoot!
'Ohohoho!　Sorry, let me play.
Guh!

　Karen quickly closed the gap between the two and extended her spear to stop Champagne's Dragon Horse Jutsu with a leaping attack using the "Guillermo Jutsu".

　The two of them were able to get to know each other better, but they didn't know each other very well.

　《The Incense Car Lance Technique》 is a horizontal cleave range attack. It's a skill that's perfect for dealing with it.


''I'm still going!''

　To Karen, who was swept away by a lateral attack, Champagne prepares the follow-up Silver General Spear Technique.

　The more you accumulate, the more powerful a single attack is. But by attacking without hoarding--

"f*ck!

　Although the firepower is lowered, it becomes the fastest attack in [Spear Jutsu]. This is the same phenomenon as [Battoujutsu].

　Karen prepared her stance in an instant as soon as she landed and turned around to thrust into the 【Infantry Spear Technique】 itself with the 【Silver General Spear Technique】.

　A tremendous technique. Champagne found more than three points that he wanted to praise Cullen with applause right now, but he couldn't do so since the match was in progress.

What a wonderful thrust!

　However, it was still her nature to say it out loud.

'Don't use your mouth, move your hands!

　Karen doesn't miss that momentary opening.

　Using the slightly open gap, she begins to prepare the 《Skipping Wheel Javelin Art》.

　The 《Skipping Wheel Spear Technique》 is a powerful lunge (...) attack that is powerful enough to accumulate. And - immediately, it is activated.


''See, you're careless, you won't be able to make it in time!

　Karen was right. The only skill below the flying car that can prevent the 《Flying Car Spear Technique》 from taking no damage is the Golden General Spear Technique, but it won't be able to do so in time.

　In this case, I can think of a response to accumulate the 《Silver General Spear Technique》 and somehow bump into each other in a near-even manner, but .......


''With all due respect, Miss ......, you can't let your guard down.

　Champagne calmly said a few words and activated the 《Gui Horse Jousting》.

　And then - he leaped diagonally back (・・・・).


''!''

　He cancelled the Guillermo Lance Technique in the air and prepared the Golden General Lance Technique while moving with inertia, successfully landing on the ground.


''When the movement is curved, the speed of the thrust is reduced, right?

　So, it's just in time - the Golden General Spear Technique.


''Oh, wait, ......!

　On the other hand, Karen's skill cancellation was not in time.

　Because up until the moment the spearhead was about to reach it, Karen had assumed that Champagne's 《Gold General Spear Technique》 would not be able to arrive in time.


''---''

　The counter of the 《Gold General Spear Technique》 exploded.

　Karen's 《Flying Wheel Spear Technique》 was nullified and bungled unceremoniously to look at.


　...... down. That, in other words.


''It's a dead end, right?

　The preparation of the Dragon King Spear Technique by Champagne is completed.

　An extremely powerful single attack. There's no way to prevent the strongest attack in the world.



...... You're so unfair! "You're not even good enough for a nobleman.
You don't like the nobility?
Yeah. Is that bad?

　Champagne shook his head slowly and opened his mouth with a gentle smile.


'Then you should take a good look at ...... me and my master.



That's it!　The winner, Champagne!
