Chapter 4
Grandmaster/The King
Part 1
While crying, Kurami kept scolding out idiot and stupid. ’I will never admit it! I will absolutely
expose you all—!’
Even up till the end when Kurami left, she kept kicking up a fuss.
"Aiyah aiyah.........what is the aning of a human evaluating another human eh........." After
Sora said these troubled words, the city was once again filled with applause.
—Very fastidious about this victory.
Without any doubts, this victory had clearly showed that mankind still had a sliver of chance.
With the hall completely bundled with the deafening cheers, an old official walked towards Sora,
holding onto a crown.
"Then, Sora-sama is it?" "Yup."
"So you will be the one to ascend to the throne as the new king of Elchea, right?"
"Can’t do."
Hugging his little sister, he said while laughing.
"The two of us are 『 』 — so the king belongs to us." These were also the words he said during
the chess duel.
With those words, the audience started an even higher-pitched applause— for congratulating the
new king and queen.
—However.
"—It’s a pity, but that can’t be done." "—Eh?"
Hearing those words from the official, the cheers of the crowd halted. "Ah? Eh, why?"
"The Ten Oaths stated that they can only elect a 『 Sole representative』 . So two people cannot
a.s.su the post." In the midst of the chattering hall, Sora and s.h.i. ro exchange glances.
Entering into a deep thought with a perturbed expression, Sora scratched his head and furrowed
his brow............before saying.
"............Ah, that, so be it, I’ll be the one to be the representative, will that work?" ".............Guu."
Gently releasing his little sister who was muttering, Sora faced the official.
"Then once again I’ll announce—*cough cough*, from now, Sora-sama will be the 255th
generation king of Elchea— any objections please stand up, otherwise remain silent—"
—But, unable to maintain that silence, soone raised up a hand and interrupted the sentence.
"........Un."
A white-haired s.h.i. ro.
With her pair of ruby red eyes barely visible underneath her bangs, it was the girl— who exactly
said that, "Eh? s.h.i. ro?"
".......I have, an objection."
"Gu, that, little sister, what are you doing?"
"........If, Nii, becos king........Nii will build, harem." "———————————Ah?"
Unable to believe what he had just heard, Sora could not help but ask, but s.h.i. ro with an
expression as if she was going to cry out said out.
".........That way........s.h.i. ro.........wouldn’t be..........needed anymore."
Completely ignoring the stares from the stunned audience, Sora went into a state of
embarra.s.snt he had never experienced before.
"Wait! Just, wait a mont, how is that possible! Aren’t the both of us a team! In the final
conclusion, I’m just a king by na, I don’t want s.h.i. ro to do this kind of—"
"........But, the King is......Nii.........s.h.i. ro is just...............an accessory. If, if there can only be one
person..............the one to do it—"
Wiping away the tears, light was no longer reflected from her eyes. ".....to be the King— is
s.h.i. ro."
The little sister who always felt weak, had clearly emitted an aura as if declaring for war.
Facing s.h.i. ro who was intently staring at Sora, while announcing out her intentions— "—Ah?"
Getting stared at, Sora changed his expression.
"Hey hey hey........My sister. It really is new for you to crack a joke, has the sun finally risen up
from the west?" Although his frivolous actions and expression were the sa as always.
There was definite hostility felt from his tone of voice.
"Let’s see, a beautiful girl like you wanting to be the king of a collapsing country. You are just
too straightforward. You’ll definitely get drawn in by soone’s sweet words— so if you want to
be the King, your brother absolutely forbades you from doing so!"
Although Sora opposed his little sister with words that can’t be more hurtful than that.
He worded it so that if interpreted correctly, it would be seen as though he was spoiling his little
sister, but his eyes were clearly not smiling.
".........No, won’t, let Nii, beco King— absolutely."
"—That’s good. Nii also can’t let you beco the King, absolutely." It was like a debate
compet.i.tion, where no one backs down.
Both of their interests intertwined and collided.
Even cracking the cheat by the Elves, and achieving the t.i.tle of Imanity’s strongest Duo. Their
eyes belonged to neither a pair of loving siblings, nor the Duo player called 『 』 .
But opponents of a long history, constantly depending on each other’s vigor, with occasional
sparks flying out upon collision with their eyesight.
"Th-that.....If that’s the case, I will please invite both of you to have one final battle, will this
settle it all?" Intervening between the two people probably took great courage.
Requiring confirmation, the official had to ask with an apologetic tone. "Ah, that’s fine."
"........No, problem."
An instantaneous answer coming out from both sides.
In a situation where their eyesight remains in contact, they issued out their declaration of war.
"Little sister, I won’t be lenient today oh. Today I will definitely make you regret that."
".........Nii, should.......prepare yourself.........today, s.h.i. ro will, use her full strength."
——..................
—Just like that.
Three days went past in a blink of an eye.
Continuously around the clock and after countless gas, the central hall was littered with
various items. The siblings were sprawled out on the floor.
"..........Ugh.....little bit more......you can admit defeat already."
"........Nii, is the one......hurry up and, give up."
The conditions for victory was two wins in a row, with that, the countless number of gas
comnced. And the outco— It was currently at the 501th battle, with 158 wins, 158 losses
and 184 draws.
—What was unfortunate, was that not just this place, even when the siblings were in their 『
Original World』 .
『 』 which was regarded as an urban legend— n.o.body knew their compet.i.tion records.
But different from 『 』 , which is attained when both their nas are combined.
It was the battles between these two people who loved gas more than anything else in the
world. And their record would be—
3526744 battles, 1170080 wins, 1170080 losses, 1186584 draws—
........So far, it had always been a stalemate between those two, no winner, no loser.
Of course, everyone who weren’t aware of this truth and were waiting for the coronation
ceremony to happen, had already gone ho.
—Then gathered again, then went ho again, a constant repet.i.tion, and with the pa.s.sing date,
the number of audience that ca gradually reduced.
Those that worked tirelessly in the City fell asleep freely in the hall—and barely maintaining
their consciousness was Steph and the official who started to see hallucinations after being
awake for a long ti.
The old official began to reveal strange smiles from ti to ti, before switching back to his
normal expression. While Steph kept mouthing out "Ah, b.u.t.terfly~
