Chapter 161: For Whom We do Our Best (For a Fee) Part 1
「「YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THE MATCH!?]]
「…… Yeah.]
Natsu-san, Pancilgton and I all shudder hearing the news from Katsu, who looked strangely calm and composed despite this current developnt.
「So the stories about organizers being able to do as they please…… It is the truth……!?]
「Normally I would laugh at soone from getting done in like that, but when it happens to Katsu that is a little bit insensitive, right?]
「W, what’s that supposed to an, Kei!?]
「Orders from the higher-ups…… The sponsors want to fill a vacancy that suddenly appeared fort the finals of RwH6 tournant……]
「Haa?]
To summarize Katsu’s story:
During the last day of GGC, that is, the very sa day as our exhibition match, the finals of RwH6…… Ruins War Haunds is going to be held. Normally it would be of no interest to us, but apparently one of the participants got involved in a traffic accident and as a result was unable to participate.
Now, for a Pro Gar such an accident might as well spell the end of carrier if his injuries turn out to be serious. Fortunately that player was told that there would be no after effects from this incident, but of course he would still be unable to participate. Therefore the need for a sub mber to step on the stage.
Originally, the substitute mber should co from the reserves of “Assault Company”, but this is where “Cyber Battalion”, one of the sponsors, ca in.
“Please add Uomi Kei as the substitute mber”. Faced with that unreasonable but final request, Katsu had no real way of refusing and was forced to change the ga.
Normally, such a request would not be able to pass. However, since the tis of the two event in which Katsu would be able to participate weren’t exactly matching, the sponsors just took the ga that would yield better results sale-wise and prioritized it over the other. Hence, an Overkill like that.
「You can laugh at if you like. It’s not like I have any right to get mad at you for that.]
「I would have laughed if it was anyone else. But that’s just harsh, man.]
「But why do they want you to suddenly beco an FPS player just like that, Katsu-kun? Isn’t that strange?]
「Ahh…… You see, in the past, when I was just starting out I used to play FPS gas and even got a sponsorship from a company or two. Haha, guess my own prowess cos to bite in the ass at the most critical mont, huh……?]
I see, it was certainly impressive in its own way. Small wonder that a sponsor or two would rember him if his skills were actually that good.
Katsu laughs in a dry way while his facial expression shows just how tired he was, and Natsu-san looks as if she was going to fall into the depths of despair. This really does put us in a tight spot.
「T, that being said, if you wrap the RwH 6 match fast enough, I might be able to……]
「I’d like that as well, but our opponents are the German “Sturn Und Explosive” team, and they are real monsters. I think that it won’t end in a flash. Not in the least.]
Those nas from other gas hardly even speak to , but Natsu-san’s expression managed to compensate for that quite nicely. It looks like Katsu won’t be able to participate no matter what, even though him being there was the whole reason for dragging us all the way out here.
「I see how it is…… By the way, suppose you do your very best and wipe the floor with them, how long would that take you?]
「The rules state that it’s the best of five. One ga takes thirty minutes minimum, so with breaks it might last even for three hours or longer.]
「And incidentally, the Galaxia Heroes: Chaos exhibition match starts at 10 a.m, while RwH 6 starts at 9 a.m.]
No matter how well we work our asses off, one hour is a lot of ti gaming-wise. Unlike FPS gas, Galaxia Heroes: Chaos’s matches tend to last extrely short amount of ti. Since it was an Exhibition match we would surely have many rounds to give the crowd a good idea of how’s the ga like, but I highly doubt that we would be able to stall for long enough to allow Katsu to rejoin us and snatch away the victory.
In the first place, thinking that the three of us would be able to stall for ti against the best players in the world would just be highly unreasonable.
So that scenario was no longer……
「This ans that if we force a draw for long enough it might work out, right?]
「Let’s just pretend that our general is just taking a bathroom break. So what should we do about our strategy? Sa as before, or should we switch it?]
「It can stay as it is, but if you could stall them from obtaining the cube or going in for the kill for at least a couple of rounds, that would be ideal.]
「…… Wait, you serious? You don’t really an that, right!?]
Hearing that, we all actually opened our eyes wide in shock and disbelief. I wonder who was more shocked, Pencilgton or I? One thing’s for sure, we were at a complete loss for words.
「I know that putting you amatours in the spotlight might be a little bit much, but I promise that I’ll make it up to you. So do your best, ok?]
「I know that it would be terrible to forfeit the match because not having enough mbers, but you do realize that I hate being in the spotlight, right? So this is really going to demand much from performance-wise.]
「I know that this situation is less than ideal for us, but I wouldn’t ask you to do this if I didn’t have faith in your abilities……]
「I just hope that we won’t be the ones wearing cosplay, then?]
