179. Please use the arena
[You are now gone.]
As long as he was accompanied by a guarantor, it was not difficult to pass through the strict borders of the empire. After the top bar was no use, we kicked him in the ass and kicked him out.
On the contrary, I think I like it more. I watched as the body, which had been skinny compared to a few days ago, limped back. Just imagining what will happen in the future makes me smile.
Alkan is the closest city to the borders of the empire, but it is a city that is quite far from the distance. It doesn’t end there, he will have to go to the kingdom again.
But on that long road, there’s no one there to protect the upper bar? Because of our proficiency, he hurriedly ran all the way here with only one wagon.
And now that we have taken him off, he must return to his top with only one wagon, without any escort.
[I didn’t even think of this, but it’s like my master.]
“Not really, I didn’t mean it, but…”
[That’s why it’s even more amazing!]
“·······.”
From what I’ve heard, it looks like he has some grudges with the other side, but will the merchants be able to escape the looters and monsters and return home safely! Doo.
Well, I’m not really curious. Nine out of ten of them will die, and even if the evil merchant is lucky enough to return to normal, he will suffer terribly in the meantime.
No matter how you go back to your own guild, right next to the strawberry guild led by him is the Ice Firm, which is dominated by Cream.
[Just thinking about it makes me happy.]
[Bad taste.]
Ignoring the false accusations that the holy sword was blaming on me as usual, I looked around. Contrary to what he emphasized, the landscape of the empire was not very different from that of the kingdom.
Still, if I had to point out the difference, it would be the degree of development. Alcan is practically rural in terms of size and location, but its splendor is almost comparable to Robbins.
It’s good to hear the people of the kingdom talk about countrymen. A small rural city is similar to the famous free trade city of the kingdom, so what about the downtown area of the empire? I am also looking forward to it.
[Aren’t you going to go straight away?]
“Yes.”
[Yeah… No, wait.]
Of course, to put it another way, even if I had to develop, it was at the level of Robbins, so it wasn’t at my level. However, the conversations of passers-by caught my attention.
“···Martial arts competition···.”
“As a reward…”
“······Today at the Central Theater···.”
Since the sounds overlapped so much, all I could hear was a few fragmented words, but that was enough. How could an ogre pass an orc colony?
Of course, I participated in martial arts tournaments several times during my adventurer days, but I always had to swallow the pain of defeat in the 4th or 8th rounds and withdraw because I had talent but no special talent.
But who is my master now? Isn’t that name a brilliant warrior? Even if magic and faith are sealed and pure swordsmanship is used, it is enough to win the championship in such a small city.
“Do you want to go?”
“Yes!”
But why are you replying? Choco stuck out her tongue as I looked at Choco with a puzzled look. Well, that guy is also a formidable brawler. Your senses will be better than mine.
I also sighed and answered a step later.
[Isn’t it a waste to just pass by?]
I don’t know the reward, but the fun experience itself is meaningful. Participating in the martial arts competition is among the nobles who live on a knife-bap, especially those who have their own skills.
Those who have lived all their lives looking at swords are defeated in vain by a mysterious girl who suddenly appears! It is common in novels, but when it becomes a reality, the psychological damage is great.
I feel like the blood and sweat I’ve shed to wield my sword has become colorless, and all the time I’ve built up is useless. My experience is correct.
[I can’t let myself go through such a good experience.]
Despair doubles when shared, so isn’t it nice? As if she couldn’t stop it, Cream shook her head lightly and instead of heading out of the city, she turned her steps and entered the city.
The goal is the central theater. This is the place where the martial arts competition, which I heard about a while ago, is held.
*
“Are you going to participate in the martial arts competition? Now there are only semi-finals and finals left, what are you talking about?”
But I didn’t expect this.
[How can that not work? There is no human guide.]
“To have the body of a woman and to have such a grotesque voice, you definitely seem to have something special about it.”
[No.]
To be honest, isn’t it just me? Of course, there are minor problems such as becoming a demonic sword and swallowing several relics of evil spirits, making the echo effect spread over the voice or mixing with noise like the screams of ghosts.
Cream, even Choco and Holy Sword, have never been pointed out by my mental wave until now!
[Psychic waves are the resonance of the ego. It’s a mental wave that reflects your twisted and evil personality, so what’s the point of asking you to change it?]
“Are you doing a one-person play? The voice this time is definitely female, but I think it’s too mature for her appearance. I’m grateful for the ingenuity, but I can’t ignore the procedure.”
I’m angry…! I wanted to refute something in the Holy Sword, but the theater manager intervened in the middle of nowhere, so the words became ambiguous. This uncle is strong.
“My, voice, no.”
“Oops! It’s definitely different from the previous two. Unless you have the knack for having three different voices…”
In the end, to the point where the worse cream spoke out. Hearing a voice that was different from the previous two, and definitely closer to a “Human voice,” The theater manager’s eyes sharpened.
“Looks like he’s carrying several psychic bodies with him, right? If it’s a girl who carries such an unpleasant thing, I can’t even let her in. It might be a witch.”
“Eh, girl?”
“Huh, you don’t know witches. Are you really a member of the Empire?”
Cream is definitely a beauty that transcends race. At his question, Cream shook her head lightly.
“No?”
“Huh? No? I can’t believe there’s such a beauty among the kingdom’s bastards.”
“That too, no.”
The theater manager’s face became grotesque. There is only one continent in this world, and since it is the Eastern Continent, there is no other land like the New Continent.
As Muffin said the other day, this continent itself was ‘combined’ in the aftermath of the Great War. So, except for this continent, all of them are seas, but in fact, the planet itself isn’t that big either.
Looking at this, I must have been a real god in the past. Do you know the size of a planet in this era where there are no airplanes let alone spaceships?
“You are such an incomprehensible young lady. Aren’t you actually a witch?”
“What is a witch?”
Yeah, I was curious too. The mercenaries we met a few days ago also talked about witches when they saw how they dealt with ghosts.
“Huh. Wherever you go these days, it’s all about witches, don’t you know that? A woman who brings back anything she touches.”
[Eh? Then isn’t she a saint?]
“Oops! The sound of being punished! Not one or two people have seen witches hanging out with the Dark Church.”
This is another unexpected harvest. I was so busy with the martial arts tournament that I forgot about it, but now that I think about it, I was also trying to find out about the state of our empire.
A manager of the biggest theater in the city would have been a fairly high-ranking position among semi-nobles and commoners, but it seemed that he knew a lot because of that.
“And reviving him isn’t that great either. Because what witches save is really ‘everything’. Not to mention her corpse, there is a person almost devoured by an inanimate object, or even by his own house, from which she came to life in her sleep in the middle of the night!”
I listened intently. If she had to fight the Dark Cult in the Empire, being a witch would be quite an obstacle, but we would win anyway, but her enemy’s abilities were not bad for her.
Anyway, her ability is unique in many ways. It is the power that gives life to inanimate objects. Hmmm, you should have heard it for the first time, but why am I used to it?
“Fortunately, you guys are definitely not witches.”
[Then Mister, we are not witches.]
Since the future is not fixed, maybe we can decapitate the witch or become friends with the witch. Anyway, that’s not important.

Feeling the people who approached me with their clumsiness to the point of feeling pitiful, I tossed the words.
[Thanks for your kind reply. So, did you turn off the time enough?]
“·······!”
At the same time as I threw out my words in the same genteel tone as before, the theater manager with a friendly, warm smile stepped back from us.
It looks similar to Sangdanju at first glance, but the level of training accumulated is different. Even if it’s not a proper article, it’s too much for the general public.
As they quickly evaded us, the door burst open and heavily armed soldiers rushed in. The theater manager declared with a cold expression.
“Let me be caught obediently. I don’t want to see blood.”
If you think about it, yes. Can we, who have no foundation in the empire, suddenly skip the middle of the process and meet the manager of the central theater?
The answer is strength. It’s overwhelming power! Of course, if you mess around too much, you’ll become an achievement of the empire and a huge bounty will be put on Cream’s head.
Empire’s achievements are burdensome, but it’s about a city’s achievements or a special wanted bounty.
Long-tongued, here’s a quick summary of what we did.
[f*ck me.]
To participate in the martial arts competition, we defeated all the soldiers in the central theater before entering.
And I still think so.
