Chapter214，Part1: 1 - Outsider Chapter 214 Outsider Part 1

I was in a good mood, a complete change from the mood I had been before answering the summoning, and I was *udauda* lazily polishing my Relics in the Clan Master’s room.

The reason why I was in a good mood was because of the Platinum ticket I received as a reward from the Emperor.

The Platinum ticket was a silvery-white tal card. On the front, there was a picture of a crossed sword and staff. As expected of the famous Martial Art Emperor Festival, even the entrance ticket was not ordinary.

And by the way, according to Franz-san, this ticket is a special one. As expected of the Emperor of a great country. It must be for VIP treatnt.

There was no seat number written on it, but if you showed it to the receptionists, they would guide you to your seat.

I have always been a nuisance to everyone and haven’t been able to give anything back. That is why it makes happy when a ti cos when I can give sothing back, like this ti.

Well, I shouldn’t have received a reward in the first place, but since His Majesty was giving it to , I won’t say anything uncalled for.

When I was humming, Eva, who had noticed sothing different from my behavior, asked what I wanted her to ask.

“Seems like you are in a great mood……” (Eva)

“*Jaaaan* Ta-daaa, Eva. Do you know what this is? I got it as my escort reward.” (Cry)

I quickly pulled out my silvery-white tal card. Eva’s eyes widened in astonishnt.

“!? Is this, a ticket for the Martial Art Emperor Festival!? …… Well, well, well……” (Eva)

Eva looked at and the ticket in turn. As expected of a well-inford person, Eva seems to have sensed the situation without saying a word.

“…… Cry-san, don’t you hate those kinds of things?” (Eva)

“No, no, no, that’s not true. I have always wanted to see it, at least once. And this ticket, believe it or not, is a special ticket――It allows any number of people to watch the event.” (Cry)

“Yes………… Well, the Martial Art Emperor Festival is a prestigious festival after all. I heard that many fighters call their friends and family.” (Eva)

Eva whispered sothing with a look of disbelief on her face.

Well, that didn’t matter. Then I asked the Vice-Clan Master who always contributes to the Clan.

“Eva’s coming too, right?” (Cry)

“…………. Eh? ………… Are you really going? You, Cry-san? To the Martial Art Emperor Festival?” (Eva)

Eva was looking at in half-disbelief. Was this really so surprising?

It is true that I live while trying to avoid any conflict, but it doesn’t an that I am not interested in powerful people. Even I am a man who originally aid to be a hero, you know.

It has been a while since I activated my badass mode and said.

“Luke and the others have always been curious about it. It is a prestigious martial arts tournant, we might as well show up at least once.” (Cry)

“………… Haah. If this is what you want, Cry-san, then, of course, I will go and support you.” (Eva)

Is there anyone she wants to support? For my part, I don’t have any. After all, I don’t even know who will be participating.

That is when Eva gave a nice suggestion.

“Why don’t we ask everyone in the Clan to go as well? It is not every day you get a chance to do sothing like this…… I am sure Tino-san will be very happy.” (Eva)

“I like it. I am sure there is a limit to how many people can watch the event, but――Oh yeah, maybe there’s soone from our Clan who will be competing?” (Cry)

Starting from Ark, there are many skilled Hunters in our Clan. It wouldn’t be surprising if one of them participated in the Supre Martial Art Festival.

“I haven’t heard anything about it, but it is certainly possible. The Supre Martial Art Festival has a huge number of contestants………… Is there any problem with it?” (Eva)

“No way. Let’s cheer them on, it would be a great honor to have the winner coming from our Clan.” (Cry)

“?? R-Right…… Doesn’t it seem like our talk is running in parallel?” (Eva)

“Eh? …… Is that so?” (Cry)

It was not that we are talking in parallel, it was just that we were lucky enough to get a ticket to the Supre Martial Art Festival and we are all going there to see it. It was a story so simple that I would like to see how we can make our story run in parallel.

Until the end, Eva looked unusually unconvinced but nodded as if to convince herself.

“W-Well, if Cry-san says so……” (Eva)

§

Luke was in the underground training ground, playing with the Golem that Sytry got at the auction.

Luke’s reaction to seeing the ticket was exactly what I expected. His eyes widened, he stared at the ticket intently, and shouted.

“Cry, you’re going to be at the Supre Martial Art Festival! When did you get it……” (Luke)

“See, the Emperor gave it to as a reward. Luke, you wanted to go see it too, didn’t you? Is your schedule free?” (Cry)

Luke loves swords and swordsn more than three als a day. As for how much he loves it, he loves it so much that if he sees a strong-looking swordsman with a sword in his hand, he will just go ahead and slash him. However, that doesn’t an that he hates everything that is unrelated to swordsn.

The man nad Luke Psycol――Like strong people. As a swordsman, he has a special attachnt to swordsn, but as long as his opponent is strong, he will slash it no matter if it is a Thief, a Magi, or whatever. In other words, he was just a street slasher.
