78 Chapter 5-1 Disturbances the day before the militant tournament

Today is the night before the festival, so the real festival should start tomorrow, but stalls and so on that target the soon-to-be-minded people are out there, waving a busy spark too much.

In the meantime, we (...) are headed to the venue for the Martial Arts Festival in front of the Victory Prayer, which begins tomorrow… commonly known as the Martial Arts Congress, with rest and a look below… should have been.

"Tenma, let's go over there!

"Tenma, I want that one!

"Tenma, I'm thirsty!

Now I'm walking pulled by three daughters of a cat I haven't seen in a long time.

And behind us like that was Primera with a bitter laugh and a disgruntled look at Jeanne and Aura, and even Aina and Chris looking at us like that.

"Why did this happen..."

It started this morning when I was on my way down to the venue alone.

"Tenma, you're not a customer."

That's what Grandpa came to my room when I was almost done.

"Customer to me? Who is it?

There are only a few people in this king's capital who are likely to visit me. Moreover, most of them...... especially since royalty people often come into the mansion on their own, they have no choice but to order (set) the golems guarding the mansion to pass by facepath.

So all I can think of is someone I don't know...... mainly, I can only think of enough aiming aristocrats to come to my exhortation.

Still, no one ever came to solicit until inside the mansion... or Grandpa wouldn't allow it.

"Come on down anyway. I'll let you through."

I followed Grandpa with a slightly frightened face, and I opened the guest room door.

I was there...

"" "Tenma! Wow! Tenma ~" "

He jumps at me, three sisters: Lily, Nelly and Milly.

"It's been a while. Mr. Tenma."

Besides, it was a primera that solidified itself in armor.

"It's been a long time since we've all four...... but why are you here?

Primera answered my question with a bitter laugh.

"Actually, it's to participate in the tournament… Most importantly, the leader told me to study a little in the Wang Capital, and I was sent to the Wang Capital for each of the Fourth Knights..."

When asked in detail, apparently the request from the Wang Capital came to the Duke of Sanga, and to briefly explain its contents, he said, 'Lend me because I'm understaffed'.

It also seems like an unquestioned order when asked about it by Wang Du, but in fact other leading aristocrats (mainly royalists) have been called out, and although they don't get a great deal of pay, the knights dispatched will be given some money and a holiday, if you ask me, a temporary part-time invitation, something like that.

"So my squad, which has a lot of aristocrats, was chosen..."

"I get that... but why did Lily and the others come?

I pulled off the Lily guys that flock to me, sat in a chair, and asked Lily and the others the next question.

"A few days before Primera left the city, we happened to meet in front of a full pavilion, and that's when she told me that Tenma had gone to King's Capital, so we came with her!

Lily answered that on behalf of the three of them. Apparently, Primera found out where I was via the Duke, and she told Lily and the others about it.

"Then I thought I'd join the team at the tournament, and Tenma came to ask me out."

Lily says she arrived late last night in Wang Capital and was able to register for the tournament at the critical.

Team fights don't have to write the names of all the team members at the time of registration so they don't show their hands to the opponent, they just have to write down the names of the delegates and register the members before the first battle of the team.

By the way, when I asked Lily about the members, she said she was going to form a team in "Princess Bobcat" with "Me (Tenma) and Shiloumal or Slalin" and "Primera (...)".

"Wait a minute! Why is Primera in the head count!

In an earlier explanation of Primera, I thought you said that 'The Fourth Knights (...)' came at the request of the King's Capital (...).

Then you can't take part in the tournament?, confirming the matter to Primera, Primera leaked out of sight.

"... Sir Military has given me permission..."

Why is there a military secretary out there? I thought so, but at the same time, with that one word, the military secretary made a bad ride, too, I understood.

"Something about it, because a man who looked great was coming to pick up the Fourth Knights, and he said, 'Can I go out to a team game with Primera?' When I heard, 'Whoa! That's good!'"

"Enough to pick me up, so I thought you were of the same class as Primera, so I was surprised to hear you were royal later ~"

"I didn't feel like that ~"

Nori's a little light, sir... but Lily and the others are punished...

When I was thinking about it, Primera put in a supplement.

"Apparently, I'm here to see how things are going because I'm the daughter of the Duke of Sanga and because I know Mr. Tenma at the same time. It was like I knew about Lily and the others."

And I rode as bad as usual, and... I think I'll tick Maria next time... seriously.

"Tenma, by the way"

"Who is that?

"The maid here?

When Lily and the others looked at him pointing at him, there was Jeanne and Aura peering this way through the shadow of the door, as the housekeeper over there.

"Dear Tenma... Are you cheating by letting Jeanne and I go..."

Aura whispers as she looks at me jitty. Aura's voice was small enough that she might not be able to hear it if she was a regular person, but all those here had excellent hearing except Primera, so she could hear it.

"Tenma! What do you mean, cheating!

"What are those two!

"What kind of relationship is that?!

Aura pushed Jeanne out in front of herself, butting the three people who would ask me sooner rather than later.

"That's it! This, thief cat! This Jeanne is Tenma's daughter-in-law! And I am a concubine!... Well, I plan to..."

Aura added the last line in a whisper with a boss.

Lily and the others were stunned and didn't seem to notice Aura's last line.

"Tenma, you're lying!

"You don't have any plans to get married! Hey!"

"That can't be Tenma's concubine!

The three of you who returned to me asked me, shaking me hard.

In contrast, I tried to speak, but before that, Aura started laughing high.

"Oh, ho, ho, ho! It's ugly! Next to Master Tenma is already our designated place! If you understand, stay away from Tenma, only thieves and cats, heeboo!

Aura, who was in a three-sentence play like a villain's warrant, suddenly blew up in the front.

"I'm not doing the right thing! You useless maid!

It was Aina who was here early in the morning for some reason that kicked Aura in the back.

"I'm so sorry. I, unfortunately, am the sister of this idiot, my name is Aina."

Aina approached Lily and the others apologizing. In his hand was a basin with sweets on it, and at the entrance was also a golem pushing a wagon with a tea set on it.

"What!"

Aina stepped on Aura, who was falling on the floor, before putting her sweets on the table, and she also remembered to step on Aura when she went to pick up her tea set.

"Ugh!... you're fat, sister... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Aura, who said something extra, was now trampled on the head and stopped moving. Aina, who stepped on Aura's head, turned a blind eye to me, but I ignored her in such a way that I hadn't heard.

"... Tenma is free! Then I'll be your wife!

"Me too!

"Me too!

Aura became quiet, and now Lily and the others made a scene. But the next noise didn't last long either.

"It's a stop! Master Tenma's marriage needs to be recognized by one!

Suddenly Aina came back and said so... and when she came back, she was firmly stepping on Aura.

"Aina, that's my first ear too...... why do you have permission? To my marriage."

At present, I am not willing to marry or anything, but suddenly I have been told that the person I will marry needs to be recognized besides me, etc., and I am a little overwhelmed.

"That opponent won't be a grandpa... well, a king... looks like we need to discuss it a little bit..."

I don't know if it's the king (top) of this country that comes to mind first among the people who say that, but that person (king) is going to say it.

So I was going to ask you to explain a little bit, and I lifted my hips to head to the castle... but Aina was shaking her neck to the side.

"Tenma, if this is what His Majesty said, I don't think Maria has shut up. This is Maria's word. To be precise," Maria on behalf of Sealia (...) "

"... what do you mean?

My mother's name came out of Aina's mouth, so I decided to sit back in the chair and listen to her for now.

After waiting for me to sit in the chair, Aina opened her mouth... and stood on Aura.

"Simply put, in a letter addressed to Maria by Siria, she wrote, 'Take care of Tenma'"

"Huh?"

Aina bowed her head when I was confused by the oversimplified content.

"I'm sorry, but you can't talk to me in detail. But this letter was written just before that incident (...), and Maria has a verse she sees as Sealia's will (...), and therefore seems to be adamant"

Eina finished the conversation feeling that all she could say was so far, but the air in the room remained subtle because of Eina saying she wasn't convinced she couldn't talk to me any more.

In that air, I heard voices coming from Aina's feet when a few minutes had passed while Aina and I were gazing at each other.

"It's heavy - you're gaining weight - you're late, heh heh heh!

Aura, who seemed to have breathed back, fell asleep (compulsively) again for an extra word.

But that soothes the air in the room... it's a rare Aura fine play... really, for the book, it's rare.

"Okay. Let's ask Maria directly next time. Eina told Maria I wanted to see her about it. I won't be able to see you at the tournament for a while..."

"Okay. I'll be sure to tell you."

Before returning to the unpleasant atmosphere, I calmed myself down by cutting up the conversation and asking directly next time.

When I finished talking about me and Aina, I realized for the first time that there was Grandpa and Chris in the room.

"Oh, were you two there?

"Whoo!

"Terrible!"

We both seem to have been hurt a little because we asked straight away.

Leaving those two behind, I decided to head down to the arena, which would be the venue for the tournament, as originally planned.

Naturally, Lily and the others who came to see me told me that they were coming with me, and that Primera was also free to accompany me, and that for some reason Jeanne, who was burning a sense of confrontation, and Aura, who was resurrected, and Chris, who seemed to be interesting, were also accompanied by Aina (Aura's) as a sponsor. Grandpa seemed unsure what to do, but after taking all these women to the boulder, I asked him to leave a message because it was going to be tough if even more sage got mixed up.

My depressed grandfather dropped me off and we went downstairs, but Lily and her three daughters sneezed out of the heat all over the city.

"Don't let all three of you go, we're just going to the venue!

As it was not likely to reach the venue by sundown, I decided to shake off the three slightly more forcefully and move on.

But I'm already busy with quite a few people in the Wang capital, and I can't walk as well as I think.

"I have no choice. Shall we take the carriage?"

Transportation by carriage exists in the Wang capital because of its size, and its number is increasing for the festival starting tomorrow.

There is also a dedicated carriageway inside the Wang capital, which is quite convenient depending on the location.

"It wouldn't be that crowded until today, so let's take a ride in the carriage"

There are two kinds of carriages running, like buses and taxis where I say in my previous life, and here I would say a ride carriage and a tsuji carriage.

At the carriage stop, which was nearby, it was possible to line up front as if after the carriage had left. However, the carriage has a capacity of about twelve people, so I decided to meet them at the venue at that time, as I might be going to split up into several sets and ride.

The carriage, which arrived roughly enough later, had many guests who got off at the stop we were waiting for, so we were all able to get in safely.

Then in about thirty minutes the carriage arrived at a stopover near the venue.

From the stopover to the venue, approximately two to three minutes away, you can see the arena, which is the venue as soon as you get off the carriage.

"There are quite a few like-minded participants..."

In the vicinity of the venue, those who were clearly believed to be participants in the Games had come to look down.

Most of them seem to be those who confirm their journey to the venue or have a glimpse of the venue, as the venue is off-limits to anyone but the parties involved, but some of them seem to be committing acts of intimidation against the solicitation of team fights and other participants.

"Whoa! They're already lined up at the entrance!

There seems to be someone in this world who wants to line up early and get tickets for some good seats.

As I walked around the venue looking at a sight similar to that of my previous life, I suddenly felt multiple gazes from behind me.

Looking back, there were a dozen men approaching us.

I suddenly stopped and turned around, so I was caught by it and we all looked at the same person.

"Shit!"

As soon as I turned my eyes, I tongued with an expression of disgust that Aina would not normally show.

And Jeanne and Aura went around behind my back trying to hide.

"You're an odd encounter here, Aina. And Jeanne and Aura... I was worried."

From the center of the men who came near us, one man came forward feeling like a play.

"Yeah, it's an odd encounter, Associate Viscount Chloride. Now if you'll excuse us, we have business to attend to. Well, good afternoon."

I knew from Aina's words that this man was Associate Viscount Podro Il Chloride in the example. From what I saw, it felt like a trinket, something like that, and Aina turned her back curly when she said it out quickly without even trying to hide her disgusting face.

"You're being disrespectful to the Associate Viscount!

One of those surrounding Eina's attitude raged, reaching out to grab Eina's shoulder...

"Don't try to touch me with dirty hands!

Aina, on the contrary, quickly grabbed his opponent's hand and slammed it to the ground, trying to pull it off forward. The man seemed to faint with a strong punch in the face. Aina took off the gloves she had been wearing at some point and slapped them on the back of the man's head.

With her new gloves back on as if nothing had happened, Aina glanced at Podro with her filthy eyes and walked straight to me.

"Come on, Master Tenma, let's hurry up. You don't have to waste your precious rest time on fly opponents because you'll be busy starting tomorrow"

Podro, who understands the meaning of Eina's words, has turned his face bright red, unlike the appearance of the big man earlier.

"Don't get on with it! You little girl! Who do you think I am! He's noble! It's the Viscount!

Podro on his head is shouting out loud without worrying about the neighborhood.

But Aina never showed a bare gesture that she cared about.

"Oh, I'm not fooling around, am I? I just said that I don't have time to deal with an impudent person who suddenly tried to grab a woman's shoulder... is it possible that the Associate Viscount is doing the same thing as this impudent person?

I hear laughter in Aina's words from people who were asking how she was doing nearby.

Podro stared at those who were laughing around him with his face bright red and shut him up.

Podro, the noblemen, looked at all the people around him, so I shut up, and Podro, who was somewhat concerned, pointed at me.

"Fair enough...... more than that kid there!

"... what is it?

To be honest, I just want to ignore him because I don't want to deal with him like this, but Podro decided to deal with him because he's pointing to me... but I guess I'll say something I don't understand anyway...

"I am the one who falls on the edge of Jeanne! So why don't you give me Jeanne!

"I refuse"

It was exactly what I had imagined, so I decided to say no immediately.

Podro, who didn't think I'd be turned down that way because of my instant answer, is solidifying.

"Well, shall we all go?"

The moment we turned our backs, Podro came home to me and screamed out loud.

"You kid! I'm noble! You have no right to say no!

Against such a podlo, I decided to sigh at him.

"At the time of the first abandonment of Jeanne's house, you are neither Jeanne's edger nor anything. Besides, isn't there even a rumor to you that you actively tried to crush Jeanne's house, etc... and about Jeanne's ownership, I'm more recognized than the royalty. So there's no reason to say how many nobles I have to give my own slaves, etc."

Podro was sweating cold at the words that conceived my anger.

"Oh, royalty and other appropriate things..."

"If you think it's a lie, ask the Grand Duke or Prince Tida or Princess Luna"

In the carriage before, the Grand Duke said to me, give Jeanne away (...). I guess that's because he admitted that Jeanne's ownership was due to me, and the Kings have never said anything about enslaving his former nobles.

In this world, nobility falls into slavery, etc., not often, but not so rarely. The story changes when this becomes a royal or duke class figure, but Jeanne is a former Viscount Warlord, and if she had reached out to that class of nobles one way or another, she would have no kiri. Moreover, since some former noble slaves can be used in various ways, it is not uncommon for such former nobles to be more expensive as slaves.

Therefore, people who bought it rarely let go, and even if they sell it, many people put more prices on it than they did when they bought it, which is one reason why it is difficult to reach out financially.

"If you understand, you'll already be there."

Now it was time to turn his back on Podro and try to walk out, but Podro didn't seem to have given up yet.

"Don't think of me as just an associate villain! I am Secretary of the Interior, the Duke of Durham!

Podro, who puts out the Duke's name and is prestigious, but from me, it feels like he said "Ahsoo" or "So what's up". Rather, as much as I'd like to say, "Thank you for sharing the mastermind".

Podro seems to have mistaken me for freaking out that I'm stunned and silent, and unlike before, he's got a chest up and a doya face.

Hand control of Eina trying to say back to such a Podro, there was someone who had pinched her mouth from near us.

"Well, is the Secretary of the Interior trying to threaten the property of the people?

"What the hell!

Podro yelled at the direction of his voice, surprised by the words thrown suddenly.

"You didn't hear me? The Home Secretary asked me if I was going to threaten the good people with taking away slaves who are recognized as property by the state..."

The person spoke loudly to Podro, wazzing to hear what people were doing around us. It particularly emphasises the place of 'the Home Secretary' and 'take it away', more like asking people around rather than pointing it at Podro.

Podro had initially turned his face bright red to reveal his anger, but now he is turning his face bright blue, as he understands who the person is and hears more condemnation of Podro and the Minister of the Interior from around him.

Podro seemed to understand that the person had not only been shattered of his confidence, but that he had been given a blow that could have shattered until his own progression.

The person, by contrast, had a satisfying look that he was able to appear at the best time.
