“That’s the best, Noctar! A true warrior doesn’t fall down until his throat is beheaded!”
“Oh, oh oh oh! Noctar, Noktar! A true descendant of the god of war, Noktar! We lost the battle, but our hearts did not yield!”
“I cannot admit that Noctar has lost to a human! Appoint Theo as an honorary orc!”
The orcs in the stands once again possessed hooligans.
The other spectators also stood up at the fervent spectacle and cheered.
“It’s the best! Watching the matches played by wizards and archers makes me feel relieved!”
“Yeah! Dirty magic, it’s fun to fight without arrows!”
“Theo, that’s cool! Irene intervening in the interlude seems a bit disrespectful, but…”
“This is this vs. this match, you bastard!”
Reporters were busy pressing the shutters of the magic camera, while guild & government officials sat down and clapped instead of cheering.
Only then did Mari in the relay stand, who came to her senses, whispering with the other broadcasters and running back and forth over the arena.
[It was not planned, but I will hold an interview with Theo & Irene team, who showed such a great match! Everyone, are you all okay?]
There was no one who refused.
Everyone expressed their consent by chanting the names of Theo and Noctar.
[Yeah, it’s also a lot of heat. My heart is racing too! Then we will proceed with the interview!]
Said Marie, who came next to Theo.
[Theo student who showed such a great match! You overturned everyone’s opinion and won, how do you feel now?!]
But-
“············”.
Theo said nothing.
He simply stared at the waiting room with calm eyes, turned his back and left the arena.
“Te, Theo! Come with me!”
Irene followed Zorre Theo and left the stadium.
In an instant, only three were left on the pitch.
Noktar is still standing and fainted, Gullik is kneeling down, and Marie is holding the magic microphone with a shaky expression on her face.
[··········.]
Marie, who suddenly became like a dog chasing chickens, hastily began to take care of it.
[Ahahaha, I guess it means that you don’t feel the worth of an interview with a game like this! Anyway······! Please give another round of applause to Theo & Irene team and Noktar & Gullik team for their outstanding performances!]
After being enveloped in silence for a while, shouts and applause erupted from the audience again.
“This is an unspoken expression that is natural…!”
“You mean I don’t have time to spend on interviews… Wow, that’s so cool. I want to try that too…”
The murmuring of the crowd continued until Noctar and Gullik, both stunned standing still, were carried on a stretcher.

From the round of 16, a private waiting room is given.I immediately lay down on a long chair in the private waiting room.
Nothing like the piercing shock of [Twisted Nobility’s Dignity] could not stop the day I am today.
It’s time to pay the price of the amplified [Overlord].
on the verge of falling
During the fight with Julia, I spent 20 seconds and half killed it, but now I spent over a minute.
I covered the dripping nose with a handkerchief.
“haha······.”
The stomach was upset.
The reason I participated in the tournament right now was to get 5 shop gold coins, but it seems like I got something more valuable.
‘As long as you don’t die…’
Swordsmanship has advanced dramatically.
In this confrontation with Noctar, he clearly realized what needs to be improved by discarding the parts to be discarded.
‘By the way, noctar is that strong.’
Even if the future of this work has changed, too much has changed.
In this work, it’s just that Theo and Noctar, an extra who gets swept to death, have become that strong.
It is unexpected.
The amplified [Overlord] was not defeated in the round of 16. I was going to use it in the finals.
Of course, I would have lost if I hadn’t written it. Because Noctar was that strong.
I still want to win.
I sighed inwardly.
‘Nothing changes with regret.’
My priority right now is to re-strategize how to face Andrew & Sally’s team in the next quarterfinals.
With that thought in mind, with trembling hands like a vibrator, I pulled out the [Elixir of Relief from Fatigue] from the bag.
During the previous dungeon exploration, he did not use what he received from Siena and kept it aside.
‘Even if it is an elixir, it is difficult to recover from this accumulated fatigue in a short period of time.’
After taking it, you must get at least 6 hours of sleep for your body to return to its original state.
But there will be some recovery. It was our first match in the round of 16, so if we had enough, we were given an hour of rest.
‘I wish I had a fist.’
The effect of recovering from the fatigue of the divine water is desperately needed. Of course, it’s a minor effect compared to an elixir, but it’s better than nothing.
However, it is difficult to get up and go to a quiet place to communicate with Amy.
His whole body is trembling like an aspen tree. He barely opened the lid of the elixir.
gulp, gulp.
After slowly raising my upper body, I immediately inhaled the elixir.
“Theo… I don’t think it’s at the level of a simple potion… I just abstain. I’m fine.”
Irene, who had a worried expression on her face since the game, said with a still face.
“·······There is no waiver, Rin.
It’s half encouraging, half sincere.
Irene, because she has a bad habit of thinking deeply about small things by herself.
“I know.”
“I will close my eyes for a moment.”
As I said that, I lay back on the long chair and tried to close my eyes.
smart.
A knock is heard.
“········Who are they? Are they other kids?
Irene, who was wiping my face with a wet handkerchief, opened the door to the waiting room.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Irene.”
Amy was standing in front of the door with her fists in her arms.
Irene looked at Amy and Fist with a surprised expression.
“Oh, Miss Amy. What did you come here for?”
“The master looked very tired after the game, so he came to check the condition. May I go in for a while?”
“Oh, ah! Of course. Come on in.”
Amy entered the waiting room and looked at me with cold eyes.
“…you’re overworked, Master. It seems like a situation I’ve been through several times before.”
“…is that so?”
I feel guilty for something.
In fact, many times, I have mistreated Amy. Because it was always Amy who took care of me because of the aftereffects of [Overlord].
Amy narrowed her eyes and said.
“I have said many times that training is good, but how about taking care of your body… You’re young now, so you’ll be fine with a few days off, but later on, you’ll get really sick. You will become resistant to potions and healers.”
“I will take care of you, Amy. But I really want to win. As you can see, Noctar’s momentum was too strong.”
“I see, Master. My opinion was too long. Sorry for taking your short break. Here is the anti-fatigue I got separately. I’ll just go… Oh!”
Amy groaned.
The fist that had just been quietly held with her eyes closed just escaped from Amy’s arms.
─Beep, beep!
It makes a dolphin-like sound unique to a baby puppy, and my legs are clenched with fists…
“Uh, oh my!”
······ Digging into Irene who was sitting next to her.
Then, as if begging for mercy, he made a squeaking noise and looked up at Irene with dim eyes.
“It’s cute, can I pat you?”
Irene, who looked down at the bundle of white fur in her arms with a lovely expression, said to Amy.
“············”.
Amy looked at me without saying a word.
‘You must have known the owner as Amy.’
It deserves it. Because that bastard spends less than 30 minutes with me out of 24 hours a day.
“Do that.”
I sighed inwardly.
Irene tilted her head.
“·······I thought it was Amy’s puppy. Theo, was that your kid?”
“Yes.”
“······Hullang.”
Irene had a look on her face that she didn’t understand.
“What do you mean, Rin?”
“Theo, it’s surprising that a person with a lack of emotion like you is raising a puppy… It’s surprising. It’s also such a small child.
“What do you see me as?”
“I am an emotional person. A pragmatist who always pursues the practical.”
“Lin, I’m sorry.”
Either way, Irene narrowed her eyes.
“··············· Up to a few years ago, don’t you remember? The butler’s dog. You called and kicked him for not coming.
“············”.
I have nothing to say.
How did you find out about Theo’s past?
By the way, Theo, you bastard. It was a real bummer.
The butler is a human being and is loyal, but how does a dog know that?
Kicking was too bad.
A sudden feeling of bloating in the stomach.
The nosebleed, which had stopped for a while, bursts out again.
“ね.”
“Do, master?”
“Theo!”
While Irene and Amy are startled and call my name.
─Beep, beep!
The fist came out of Irene’s arms and hugged me.
