Chapter 120 - Episode Thirty-Seven - And Then The Legends (6)
a and I spent about ten days preparing and traveling to the royal capital, Elkuxia.
We couldn’t get used to the urban atmosphere of the royal capital, and on the first day of our arrival in the city, I collapsed of man-sickness and a took care of , so I bought a ticket for the combat tournant and decided to rest at the inn until the day of the tournant.
In the previous life, It would have been normal to ride a crowded train, but perhaps I’d been living in the elegant Marren countryside lifestyle for too long.
On the day of the combat tournant, I dragged my slightly ailing body to the arena with a.
At the reception desk of the arena, they were selling gambling tickets.
The tickets for the battle between Brian, Knight of the First Born Prince Alphonse, and Gaston, Knight of the Fourth Born Princess Charlotte, seed to be the best-selling.
The multiplier was a whopping
” Gaston: 1.02x “
” Brian: 32.35x “
I didn’t expect Gaston to be so popular.
I was told that Brian was also a fairly famous knight, but he was a bit of a prideful man.
I was caught by the 32 tis price tag and forgot the purpose of buying Brian’s ticket for about 50,000 gold.
If I won, it would be 1.6 million gold.
I rembered that I had co to help Gaston, and as I was looking at the tickets, scratching my head after cooling down, I was stared at by a Lomarn’s adventurer who was buying a lot of Gaston’s tickets, so I decided to leave as quickly as possible.
So far, so good, but by the ti I reached the front row of the auditorium, I was wobbly with the onset of my usual man-sickness.
On either side, sweaty adventurers from the city of Lomarn were watching the opening ceremony with a twinkle in their eyes.
Gaston was the hero of the city of Lomarn.
There were plenty of Lomarn residents besides us who had splashed out a lot of money and co to the royal capital to watch.
At the end of the opening ceremony, there will be a battle between the Elite Guards Captain of the firstborn Prince Alphonse and Gaston, but honestly, I want to leave now.
“A-, are you alright, Abel?”
“I’ll sohow get through this……”
“You-, you’re face is turning blue! Can we go back to the inn now? You don’t have to work so hard for Gaston! Because that was totally deserved! S-So sorry! Step aside! Abel, Abel!”
a holds by the shoulders and props up and calls out to the people around .
I grab the railing and sohow resist a’s attempts to take out.
“It’s okay … really, it’s okay. I don’t want to go through a crowded street…… and also don’t shake too much. I think I’m going to throw up.”
“That’s not okay! That’s right, the teleportation spell could at least get you out of here for a bit, right? Let’s get out of here using that for now. Abel, Abel, can you hear ? You look really pale, you know!?”
To be honest, my consciousness is a bit on the verge of collapse, but I manage to hold on.
“Gaston! Gaston!”
I heard the Gastoncall begin and finally realized that the opening ceremony was over.
Looking at the center of the arena, I saw a frightened Gaston facing a large man with a thick neck that looked like a ravenous beast.
It was kind of like that kind of execution thod altogether.
“Gaston! Gaston!”
Since there were so many adventurers from the city of Lomarn around , I began to be enveloped by the Gastoncall all at once.
At first, while listening to the loudness of the call, my head was giving a headache as I listened to the voices, and I was barely able to stand with a supporting .
My vision was dazzling, probably due to the heightened level of man-sickness.
“Abel! Ge-, get a grip!”
But while I was in the midst of the excitent, I was slowly getting hotter and hotter in my chest, sohow influenced by my surroundings.
Strangely enough, it’s not uncomfortable. Rather, it’s pleasant and makes my head feel fuzzy.
“Gaston! Gaston!”
The nausea and headache quickly receded, leaving with impaired judgnt.
“Gaston! Gaston!”
I thought I could hear cheering from the imdiate vicinity, and soon after, I realized that the voice was my own.
I was in a daze and in sync with my surroundings, arms raised in the air, cheering for Gaston.
This feels good.
Every ti I shouted Gaston’s na, I felt scuffed.
A sensation that blows away the headache and discomfort and instead produces more and more narcotics in my brain.
It’s been creepy why everyone has been flattering Gaston like that, but after screaming it myself, I finally understand.
I had no idea how good it felt to let sothing so mighty dictate my thoughts, values, and decisions.
Maybe it’s just that, for once, I’m a little easy to be swept away by my surroundings.
“Gaston! Gaston!”
“A-Abel?”
“What’s up? Here, a should cheer too, quickly. Gaston-san is about to fight.”
“Ga-, Gaston-san!? N, no, but……”
a begins to cringe nervously.
“Yes, yes, missy! You’re one of Lomarn’s adventurers too! Hurry up and cheer for Gaston-san!”
The adventurer standing beside interrupted.
“…… Ga-, Gaston.”
“You’re voice is too low!”
I say, and a’s mouth stiffens, as if she’s ready or desperate.
“Gaston!”
“Yes, that’s it! That’s the spirit! Gaston!”
“Gaston! Gaston!”
The ga started and Gaston stumbled sluggishly and ran to the big man, Brian.
Watching him, I continued to call Gaston, feeling sowhat uncomfortable.
“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
At that mont, Brian let out a roar so loud it was hard to believe he was human.
Feeling the killing intent, I instinctively stood up and readied my staff.
So of the adventurers around had their hands on their sword sheaths, as did I, and so were tipped over.
After looking around at them, I finally cald down.
“Ah, Gaston……”
Gaston, who had caught Brian’s roar from the front, was unconscious as he stood on his knees.
A trickle of water was dripping from the gap in his armor at his crotch.
He probably leaked from fear.
I knew it was completely too late.
I secretly tucked my wand into my pocket.
“Gaston! Gaston! Gaston…… isn’t that kind of weird?”
The Gastoncall in the surrounding changed into commotion with no unity.
“…… Abel, let’s go ho.”
a gently squeezed my hand.
“………… yeah, I guess so.”
I faced towards Gaston, who stood unconscious imposingly, and gently cut a cross into the air.
“Forgive , the spirits of our Marren ancestors”
“What’s wrong?”
“…… in my ho town, most things are forgiven when you do this.”
I and a quietly left the crowded auditorium, which was filled with groans.
Nothing good would co from staying here any longer. Let’s go ho.
I don’t even feel like redeeming the 1.6 million gold vouchers I won for Brian’s victory at the receptionist. No, I’ll do it just in case.
I saw the other knight’s lord…… Prince Alphonse standing up from his seat with his arms raised in excitent and joy.
I looked at it and realized once again that the ga was over.
I looked at Gaston one last ti and noticed that Gaston’s opponent, Brian, was staring at .
I checked behind and didn’t find anything in particular.
I paid no further attention and began to walk quietly through the crowd to the arena’s reception area.
Prince Alphonse rejoicing at the sight of Gaston’s incontinence.
