95 – Innocence-2
The morning of a sword fight is always the same.
Moderately train to warm up, check your physical condition, and clear your mind.
It was in good condition. I felt refreshed, and my body felt as if it would fly away.
I had already memorized the information about the opponent. If I’m right, she hasn’t responded to my strategy yet.
Just swing the sword slowly without being nervous.
There were many things. I already won the tournament twice, and now all the people left were formidable people.
However, I am stronger.
After swinging the sword a few times, I felt refreshed.
It’s familiar, it’s understandable, it feels like I’m going to win.
“Are you inside?”
“Oh, Mr. Daisy?”
A familiar voice came from outside the door.
“I heard you’re busy these days. Dana…”
“Oh, because there are more than one thing to do. In this sword fight, how many ‘people who must make room’ appeared.”
“Really?”
“It may be because Evan-nim became famous, but no matter how he is, the primary cause is the princess.”
“Aha.”
As I found out later, Logan’s misdeeds were truly endless.
‘No, how could there be so many misdemeanors outside of Selam who live inside Selam?’ I also thought, ‘How did this person not get caught until now?’ I even thought of doing it.
Iris also seems to have had a lot of trouble because of that. No matter what her circumstances were, she eventually turned a blind eye to his crime with the authority of her princess.
Also, there were no people who were parasitized by that power and tried to take advantage of their own interests.
“Even though we got rid of all the clumsy people… There were people who came purely out of curiosity about what kind of person Evan was, and it was difficult to ignore because of his identity.”
Some people attacked Iris, but the princess’s authority did not disappear immediately. Although she may have some noise, in the end, the woman closest to the emperor was Iris.
There must have been people who expressed interest in me and expected me to take care of their private interests using Iris like Logan.
“Don’t worry too much. I won’t meet you anyway.”
“Well, I thought that would be the case. But if you happen to join a party or receive sponsorship, please let me know.”
There were dark circles under Daisy’s eyes, but she couldn’t seem to stop her obsession with her work.
“Because we have to weed out those who are involved in crime or who can have a negative political influence.”
“Okay.”
She straightened her body and looked at me with eyes that were a bit more refreshing.
“I’m not here to talk about boring things like that… Are you feeling okay? Do you have any problems with sword fighting?”
“Perfect.”
I was the one who usually didn’t care for minor illnesses, but these days I’m feeling better than ever.

Test the limits of my body, recover in an instant, and break down the invisible wall that stands in my way again.
I had never thought that becoming stronger would be such a fun thing.
“It’s perfect. I’ll look forward to winning the championship.”
“At times like this, shouldn’t you be cheering for your younger brother?”
Daisy gave a sinister smile.
“From the manager’s point of view, it’s better for the champion to change… Evan-nim’s victory is what makes the picture live.”
“You’re cool.”
“As Dana’s older sister, there’s nothing wrong with Evan winning.”
“Yes?”
“It’s two consecutive champions, if you look at the history of the entire Colosseum, it’s not that small, and you won’t get anything more by achieving it. But… If you lose?”
I scratched my head. At that time, I had just come out of Selam, so I was in a very emotional state, but it was also a bit embarrassing to say it sober.
“I’ll apply that rule.”
“Well, that’s…”
“If you’re a bit worried, why don’t you talk to Dana one last time? There’s still some time left.”
“I will.”
But, not right now. The fight with Dana was important, of course, but if I lost the sword fight today, it would all be meaningless.
After encouraging Dana like that, it wouldn’t be so funny if she fell away before I even met her.
“…Thank you. Originally, I came to say this.”
“Suddenly?”
“When I first said I was going to be a male gladiator, I was very worried. I thought, is this right?”
Daisy laughed.
“You may not feel it here, but the Colosseum has grown enormously. It has only three lower leagues, and the gladiators are seriously considering retiring and hitting the road as instructors.”
“If it’s a lower league… Like Florence?”
I didn’t watch all the matches, but I knew that the new gladiators coming in these days were formidable.
It felt like the vagina itself had gone up several times. There were people who were too conscious of me and couldn’t show their skills, but the basic weight class itself was strong.
“That’s right. I thought it would be a temporary phenomenon… Now that I think about it, Miss Florence was lucky. No, should I say that she was rewarded for her determination… After all, she is with Evan right now.”
I didn’t think I was that great of a person, but there were a lot of people who liked me, so there was nothing I hated.
“At all, there are people who worship those women. They copy the way she speaks…”
“Really?”
The lady’s way of speaking seemed a little awkward, even for Florence, who was dignified in her own way.
Come to think of it, even when he met women of high status through Iris, he had never heard such a tone. Maybe, maybe
“It feels like I’m dreaming. When I wake up, everything is back to normal, and when I ask a subordinate, ‘Where is Evan?’ It feels like I’m going to be questioned while doing it.”
“You’re having a lot of trouble.”
“Actually, I only slept twice. That day, work was not in my hands.”
“Ha.”
Daisy shook his head.
“Oops, you’ve been holding on to the person you’re about to fight for too long. Good luck.”
“Thank you.”
Daisy owes her great success to me, but I also have a lot to thank her for.
However, in the end, there was only one thing I could do.
Maintain this clear mind, fight to the end without giving up, and win.
It was so simple that there was no room for thought. I feel at ease.
After Daisy left, I swung the sword once again.
Even if Dana doesn’t hold my posture by moving my arms and waist from behind my back, in a position where my chest bumps slightly.
My sword moved with impeccable precision.
I was satisfied.

“Congratulations on your victory.”
Unfortunately, there were too many visitors after I finished the sword fight.
It was a bit unfortunate, but I got special treatment. I got my own treatment room in the Colosseum, and I was able to receive guests more comfortably.
“You won too, right?”
Dana laughed awkwardly. However, in the ring, she didn’t have such a ‘cute’ smile.
As if he couldn’t even see his opponent, he poured out confident sword strikes and won the victory as if it were natural.
Dana’s opponent was a gladiator in the same group, and he was concocting a secret plan for victory.
That collapsed horribly easily in front of Dana in real combat. To the point where I was nervous.
“It’s not long now.”
The opponent in the quarterfinals was a gladiator who was much easier to deal with than the opponent he fought today.
There was not a big difference in skill, but from my point of view, the compatibility was good.
“I’m looking forward to it…”
“Of course. Ah, just in time, I’m just saying… That, ‘special fighting rules.’ Would it be okay if I did that?”
Looking back, it didn’t feel a bit excessive.
I didn’t think of holding her forcibly, but uh, how to say.
In front of a lot of people, ‘I’m going to do her night job with her today!’ I feel like I’m shouting
“…Don’t like it?”
Dana’s expression darkened.
“No, it’s not like that… If it’s like that, I thought it might be okay to do it privately.”
As I was lying down, she came rushing into me.
“Maybe it’s just my greed… But can I tell you?”
“Anything.”
“I like it when you proudly talk about hugging me.”
Her red hair swayed naturally. Just like beautiful fireworks dancing in the wind.
“Hmm…”
“It’s not that I don’t have desires? Forcibly… I have no intention of doing anything to a man, but still. If you do it, I’m so happy, happy, and proud that I might not be able to stand it.”
“This, could be used? Once in the ring, it’s an enemy. If you want to be pushed back, are you going to use it for psychological warfare?”
“Me too.”
I was speechless at Dana’s short words. The fact that she loves her was the same for me.
It’s a final match to decide the champion of the Colosseum, but it might turn into a ridiculous fight in which you put on a beauty world by saying that you love each other.
“If you don’t hate it… Shout it out proudly. You may hate me like this… But the less vulgar the better.”
Dana’s hand was on my collarbone.
It was always me who touched her first.
Because the rule ‘You must not make unpleasant contact with a man’ was a rule deeply embedded in the minds of women in this world.
However, Dana believed. She knew her too. That I am enjoying the sensation of her hands touching my skin.
“…I’ll try.”
The end is coming. The reason I came to this Colosseum, the goal I set, is right in front of my eyes.
It’s a bit embarrassing, but Dana’s body, excited at seeing me, was right in front of my eyes.
Fighting spirit burns. The desire for conquest and affection hidden deep in my heart are burning.
Little by little, I can feel Dana’s hand caressing my chest as it comes inside my clothes.
“I’ll be looking forward to it.”
Dana smiled brighter than anyone else in the world.
