Chapter 1205. Fighting On / Eating Ran and Return Ho
Lastly, the 60kg class tournant happened and Otsuki Fleur won.
That’s the end of all the won’s martial arts tournant today.
The tournant sponsor Edogawa held the microphone and gave the review.
「 I think everyone already knows that I love martial arts, right? That’s why people co to with a proposition. It’s mostly money, wanting to open up a martial arts tournant and becoming a sponsor, and such. Also, so want to open up their gyms so they need money. Of course, I back those who are promising and lend money. That’s why I’m the sponsor of today’s tournant 」
The small old man wearing sunglasses said with a smile.
「 There are a lot of people who co to with various ideas. So ask nicely, saying “I want to fight that athlete from the organization.” Others demand the sa thing but horribly. It’s cruel. They’re stupid. They even ask “Ask them to lose the match,” to which I respond with “tell them that yourself” 」
So there are fighters like that.
「 Well, I can understand it. Everyone has their own martial arts organization and they’re struggling to make their ends et and they want to make a living from martial arts alone and want to make their skills known in the world. I can understand that everyone has their life and they’re desperately busy with it. But you see, I’m getting tired of that situation recently. Because you know, nothing is exciting with that kind of talk. Just scraping by with your life doesn’t make martial arts exciting, does it? 」
Edogawa says while looking at the organizers of each group, like Remy Fujiwara and Remulia Maki and the others.
「 And so, about three months ago, I t this athlete from an acquaintance, Margo 」
Margo-san.
「 After hearing her story, I found it amusing. Margo-san says that she’s a woman, but she’s going to fight against the best male athletes in the world. Yes, she already said that she will win from our first eting. She doesn’t want to fight, she doesn’t want to win. She will win, she says 」
Margo-san looked at Edogawa and smiled.
「 That was shocking to . Now that she ntioned it, there are hardly any won fighters who spar with n in the martial arts industry. The stamina and physique are different, so in a normal fight, everyone knows that a woman won’t win against a man. That’s why, aside from the children class, you don’t see man vs woman in adult martial arts matches. Usually, the gas are separated by gender. That’s natural, but.. 」
Yeah, I never heard of mixed gender matches in the Olympics or anything.
「 But, Margo-san says “I’ll fight n and win.” Then she said that “It’s one of the dreams I want to achieve as a woman” Hearing that, I understood her. n dream to beco the strongest n in the world, but, in won’s case, before becoming the strongest woman in the world, they also want to beco stronger than n. That’s fundantal 」
Edogawa speaks to the won athletes in the tournant today.
「 Weren’t you the sa? I believe that when you started martial arts, you had that feeling sowhere in your mind. It wasn’t just “I want to beco stronger,” but “I want to win against n” 」
The won athletes listen to Edogawa in silence.
「 However, when you started actual martial arts, you found how strong n are. Won can’t win against reality and so the matches are separated by gender. Before you know it, it’s beco normal for won to fight against other won. You’re so convinced that fighting against male athletes isn’t realistic that you don’t think about it anymore. Well, that’s just normal 」
Margo-san is different.
「 But, never have a woman who said “I want to win against n” appeared before . Much less a woman who says that she will win. To be honest, it got excited. It’s been a while since I got thrilled. After all, Margo-san’s plan is quite detailed, and I sensed that she can make it work 」
Margo-san’s plan.
『 What’s crucial are the rules. For example, in boxing rules, won can’t win against n. They can’t win against a man in a fistfight with gloves in their hands. That also applies in Judo, the bigger the body the higher the advantage when it cos to Judo rules 』
Edogawa said.
『 But, when it cos to striking techniques, a sharp and quick punch and kick that can accurately hit an opponent’s vitals for a one-hit knock, then won can beat n too. Margo-san focused on that, and I found it amusing 』
That’s the combat Kyouko-san taught Margo-san.
A single hit to knock your enemy out. Never give the enemy the chance to counter, and disable them imdiately.
『 That’s why I gave her my word, “Try it out to your heart’s content. I’ll cooperate with you,” but you can’t just say OK that easy on sothing like that. That’s why I said; “Show your true strength first.” I want her to show her strength, not tell . That’s why I referred her to this tournant. Before she could say “I’m going to fight the strongest n in the world,” she should beco the top female martial artist in Japan first 』
Edogawa smiled wryly while talking.
『 I didn’t understand it at all. Margo-san wasn’t just a female martial artist. It’s her contribution to creating the super unlimited class with the prize money of 30 million yen so that the strongest won in the martial arts world would join in the tournant, even more than usual. Margo-san gathered the sponsors and brought the money in. She’s soone who can do that. And since the prize money grew bigger, all of the strong won who represent Japan today have co to this tournant 』
Edogawa exposed the internal state.
『 And thus, Margo-san kept her promise and proved that she’s already the strongest woman fighter in Japan. It was as you have witnessed 』
Margo-san fought against seven of the won who qualified in the super unlimited class in a row and defeated them all.
Furthermore, all of them are knockouts or tap-outs. A flawless victory.
The seven of them accepted her overwhelming power.
『 If my eyes are right, she can definitely fight against n. I don’t know about the top-level athletes in the world, but I’m sure that she’ll be able to compete against Japanese n 』
Edogawa declared.
『 Therefore, I’d like to use all my power to help Margo-san in her challenge. I heard that Margo-san’s already negotiating with MMA organizations in the US, and so I will fully support her financially and in human resources! I would love to watch Margo-san fight against male fighters! I want to see won fighting against n. I want to see her achieve her dream of winning against n 』
Then.
「 May I? 」
Rodulfo Seiko-san raises her hand.
『 Yes, what is it? 』
Edogawa told his attendant to hand over a microphone to Rodulfo.
Rodulfo Seiko took the mic.
『 I don’t disagree that she’s the strongest female fighter in Japan today. I lost to her. Everyone else also lost to her. We admit that. You’re the best, but… 』
Rodulfo Seiko looked at Margo-san.
『 I don’t want you to be the only one who thinks it’s fun to go to Arica to beat up n. Take with you!! 』
You an?
『 Of course, I’ll re-train myself until I’m strong enough to convince you, so let join in 』
「 too, if possible, I want to join 」
Poron Karisman said.
Then, Grace Marinka told Seiko;
「 Let have the mic 」
『 Go on 』
Rodulfo Seiko handed the mic with a smile.
『 When I was born, my body is big and strong, so my junior high school teacher told that wrestling is my calling, so I’ve wrestled won until now, but… 』
Grace squirms her big body.
『 But, putting that aside, I also want to beat n up. I want to join you 』
The three athletes want to join Margo-san in Arica.
『 What about the others? 』
Rodulfo Seiko looked at the remaining three, Haijin 3L-ko’s on the sickbay.
「 I’ll pass 」
Remy Fujiwara shook her head.
「 I don’t think I will 」
Remulia Maki replied.
「 I also am already busy with my gym 」
Dan Toushiko said.
「 Well, I also want to fight against n and win. But, fighting world level males isn’t sothing possible for right now 」
「 I understood with my body how strong Margo is after all 」
「 I won’t go. It’s frustrating to say though 」
Remy, Remulia, and Dan said.
『 Or so they say, but Poron-san, Grace-chan, and I want to catch up with Margo-san right away. So please, take us 』
「 I implore you 」
「 Please 」
Rodulfo, Poron, and Grace looked up at Margo-san and said.
Margo-san.
「 I can’t promise to allow you to fight, but if you’re okay with that 」
Margo-san is still negotiating to fight with male athletes, so…
She can’t make a firm promise that Rodulfo and the others can enter a tournant either.
『 I don’t mind, it’s just that winning against n is a dream that I forgot about 』
「 too, I want to win 」
「 I want to beat n 」
And thus, Margo-san gained three allies.
『 Hmm, a straight and thrilling dream. A dream of won winning against n 』
Edogawa said with a smile.
◇ ◇ ◇
After that, the awarding ceremony.
Edie won the 48kg class.
Kudou Haruka’s awarded for winning the 54kg class.
「 I did it, Darling! 」
Edie shows her certificate of comndation happily to the audience seats.
Kudou Haruka’s facing the cara as usual.
「 Thank you. I managed to win the tournant thanks to the help of various people 」
Her sister, Michi is on Kudou Haruka’s gaze while making a comnt.
The docuntary of which a beautiful high school karate girl champion challenging an adult tournant will air as scheduled.
Then, another one will be Margo-san’s desire to fight male athletes in the US.
Kudou Haruka and Kendou Maria will be better off going to and living a life as a female martial artist.
The competition today has given them the opportunity.
『 That’s the end of today’s tournant. Thank you for coming everyone 』
Now that’s all over.
The spectators leave their seats.
People going ho, and those who are going to watch the players they know in the waiting rooms.
So are taking photos with the athletes on the ring since they’re still there.
「 For now, everything went smoothly! 」
Nei said from my side.
「 We obtained everything we wanted to get today 」
Edogawa’s support.
Rodulfo Seiko and the others.
Margo-san’s titled as the strongest woman in Japan.
「 We have a press conference and an after-party to attend and Margo-oneechan has to greet the potential sponsors so it’ll get busy, but… 」
Margo-san’s making a lot of moves for her dream.
「 With that said, Yo-chan, go ho with the girls ahead of us 」
Oh, I see.
gu, Arisu, and I can’t join the press conference and after-party.
We can show up as mbers of team Kuromori, but…
School students like us would be out of place where martial arts organizations, sponsors, and dia are gathering.
「 But, are you sure you’ll be okay alone Ya-chan? 」
I know that she’s Margo-san’s manager, but it’s going to be a lot of trouble.
「 I’ll be fine. Margo-oneechan’s with , and Edie too 」
Well yeah, but still.
Margo-san’s imdiately surrounded by Rodulfo-san and the dia.
As for Edie.
Oh, she’s coming here with Michi.
「 I’ll take a shower so give a wait 」
Edie said with a smile.
「 Huh, are you sure you’re not going to the after-party? 」
I asked.
「 I’ll pass on that. Margo and Haruka are the main actresses today. Besides, I want to go ho right away 」
She said with a smile.
Then.
Monkey Mimi cos over.
「 Hey, you 」
「 What? 」
Edie turned around.
「 Are you coming with your team leader to Arica? 」
「 That’s not really a question, I’m Arican 」
Edie replied.
「 That’s not it. What I’m asking is about her plan on beating n in Arica, was it not just for the super unlimited class but also for the lighter class? 」
That’s…
「 I’m asking if you’re also planning to fight n in tournants 」
Monkey-san asks.
「 I have plans, yes 」
Edie replied imdiately.
「 It’s still undecided what kind of match will it be but I’m joining Margo in her matches in Arica 」
It’s to severe Edie’s connections to the assassination cult in New Orleans.
She’s thinking of spreading her face and na as a martial artist.
Once Aricans know Edie’s na and face, the Assassination cult won’t be able to contact Edie anymore.
「 Although, it’s undecided whether I’ll fight n or not 」
Edie said.
「 Then, take with you 」
Monkey Mimi said.
「 It’s unfair that Poron’s the only one’s going to visit Arica! I want to go too! 」
Then.
「 I’m going too 」
Line Haruko’s here.
「 I want to fight in Arica too! 」
I…
「 Edie, you should stay and talk to these people about your matches in Arica 」
I told Edie.
「 But Darling 」
「 That’s an order. These people will beco your valuable allies 」
Edie needs more friends.
Not family, but close friends.
Edie sighed.
「 Okay, I’ll get along with them 」
She said.
「 Yes, yes, let’s get along. You made feel a lot of pain after all 」
Monkey Mimi fainted from Edie’s ax kick.
「 too 」
Line Haruko also lost to Edie.
「 I want to talk about various things, including that weird technique of yours! 」
Monkey pulled Edie.
「 See you later Darling 」
Edie smiled wryly and went to the waiting room with Monkey Mimi.
「 Well, I should go too. Later, Yo-chan 」
Nei followed Edie and the girls.
Haa.
「 Yoshi-kun, want to eat ran? 」
gu asks.
「 Right. Arisu, Kinuka, what about you? 」
I asked the two.
「 Ran? 」
「 What is it? 」
Err.
This young lady of the Kurama house and her attendant doesn’t know ran?
「 It’s a Japanese adaptation of a Chinese food 」
「 It’s delicious 」
gu told the two.
「 If it’s Chinese cooking then I know a nearby restaurant 」
「 Yes, a three stars restaurant 」
Kuromiya Motoko-san and her bodyguard, Mikuriya Kurumi-san said.
「 N-No, let’s go for sothing more ordinary 」
She’s also a young lady of the nobility so even that 3-star restaurant would be a top-notch restaurant with top-notch prices.
「 Ordinary? 」
「 Well, it’s common for ordinary people to eat at a ran restaurant on their way back ho from watching martial arts 」
I made so random explanations.
「 Is that so? Well then, Kurumi 」
「 Yes, Motoko-ojousama 」
「 We’d like to join 」
They’re coming to eat ran with us
It can’t be helped.
「 If it’s ran, then I know a good restaurant. We’re celebrating Haruka’s victory. I’ll treat you all 」
Kudou-papa said.
「 Are you sure? 」
gu asks.
「 Yeah, I can at least pay for ran and gyoza 」
Then, Michi returns.
It took her a long ti to co back because she’s forced to accompany Haruka on her interview.
「 I’ve made you wait, Master 」
Now everyone’s here
「 Okay, let’s go 」
We stood up from our seats and head to the exit.
