“Since you’re my older brother, you can’t treat me carelessly.”
“Oh, the blue shark in The Rocks or something? A precious person has come.”
“Um, that’s…”
“I want to buy information.”
I stopped Brica who was about to say something and told Fels straight-forward about her purpose.
“If it’s information…”
“Brica says you’re a trusted friend and informant. I want to buy general information about this place.”
“Hmm…”
Fels looked at Bricca with a satisfied smile, as if he liked the word “trustworthy friend”.
“If it’s general information, what kind of power structure is this?”
“Right. Tell us about the two rulers who rule this place.”
“two people? There are four forces that move my brother, Halton.”
She shook her head as if she hadn’t heard me.
“Brica. As your brother said, two are right.”
“Eh? Really?”
“okay. Kyle and Jatuse are down. Outwardly, they still appear to be four, but in reality, they are all two forces. However, it would be difficult for an outsider to know this…”
“How did you know that, brother?”
Brica looked at me with a bewildered expression. Fels was also making a puzzled expression.
“Somehow I found out. Fels. Tell me about those two forces.”
“Don’t you already know?”
“All I know is that the two factions contend to eat each other.”
Really. In Halton’s episode from the original, the two forces appear almost as extras. I only know their names and characteristics.
“Then I understand.”
Fels quenched his throat with the water next to him and began tapping the table to open his mouth.
“As you said, Halton is ruled by two monsters. The names of the two monsters are Colin the King of Gambling and Dennis the King of the Arena.”
“They seem to be still together.”
“okay. got bigger Because they each absorbed the power of Kyle and Jatuche.”
“The bad guys.”
“Colin and Dennis dominate the East and West sides of Halton, respectively. As you probably know from the name, Colin controls most of the gambling establishments in Halton, and Dennis runs the arena. Both are raking in the money.”
Fels continued his speech with a smirk.
“Colin is a mage, and Dennis is a knight, and both are of such high caliber that no one who has challenged them has survived.”
“They are elites who committed crimes and fled.”
“you’re right. However, few people know his real name, so they don’t even know what crime he committed. It is presumed that he also changed his face.”
The person I need to hear the information from is Dennis, the king of the arena. Dennis’ power hides a demon’s will.
“First, tell me about Dennis.”
“Dennis. His real name is unknown, he’s in his 40s, and he’s almost certain to be a top-notch knight. Seeing as he really likes women, I’m predicting that he might have caused the accident.”
“It’s not a prediction, it’s certain. That pervert.”
Brica frowned as if she was dirty.
“Brica. Don’t get in the middle. You keep stopping talking!”
“Eh…”
“I will start over. Dennis runs three arenas. It’s very successful as bloody and bloody battles unfold every time. Aristocrats and wealthy merchants from each country visit every day and spread money. however…”
Fels paused for a moment and continued, grinding his teeth.
“There are rumors that Dennis is drugging the fighters in the arena. No, it’s not a rumor, it’s almost certain information.”
“What about medicine?”
“It is poison, so to speak. It is said that it is a terrible hallucinogenic drug that makes you want to kill your enemies and kills the pain.”
Then magic is right.
The only crazy person who can make such crazy drugs is the devil. After injecting the drug into the fighters, the demon is using the dead or crippled fighters as his test subjects.
There will be cases where fighters full of vitality that you really like are stolen from the beginning. That’s exactly what I’m aiming for.
“How do I become a fighter there? I heard they do introductions, so please introduce us there.”
“That would be difficult to recommend. As I just said, to be a fighter in Dennis’ arena, you have to do drugs. None of the people who took that drug had a good end.”
Fels waved his finger as if that wasn’t really the case.
“I sell the original information neutrally. I don’t touch whatever the other person does, but Dennis’s projection is really not. I haven’t sent or introduced anyone since I found out he was taking medicine. Think again.”
Thank you for your concern, but the poor medicine made by the witch doctor doesn’t work for me.
“It’s okay.”
“hey. Brica Your brother is too stubborn? You know that. Dennis…”
“mister. Introduce us to the arena.”
“what?”
“My older brother is different. He’s not someone a bully like Dennis can deal with.”
Brica gave Pels a trusting smile. Fels frowned and shook his head.
“Ha, I don’t know either. They can’t help it because they want it. I’ll introduce you, but I don’t know what happens next. Please don’t come back later.”
“Of course. There will be no such thing.”
After saying that, he took out a handful of jewels and gold coins from his pocket. It was a very large amount for a little information and introduction fee.
“uh?”
At the sight of the gold coin, Fels’ eyes widened and his fingertips trembled.
“I-I don’t need this much! In fact, it’s too vague to be called information, and you’ll get a referral fee from the arena, anyway, there’s too much!”
“It’s okay. Take it.”
“Hey! Brika, you brought Jaeshin!”
That money is not simply an information fee.
I also liked the fact that he stopped sending people to the arena after he found out Dennis was using drugs, and it was given to prepare for the aftermath of Pells.
“If possible, I will solve it quietly, but if something happens, take the money and run away without looking back.”
“yes?”
Fels stopped counting the money and stopped his hands in bewilderment.
Looking at my work so far, there has never been a time when a big incident didn’t happen even if I wanted to finish it quietly. This is the money that Pells, who introduced me to, might run away from if I get into an accident.
“Brica. What are you talking about? Is your brother really a little strange? Are you in my right mind?”
“mister. Listen carefully to my older brother.”
“what?”
“If you said that, the real Halton might explode.”

“Hmm, what martial arts are you learning?”
“I didn’t learn anything, but I know how to use my fists.”
“I’m just saying there’s nothing special.”
Brica and I were introduced to Dennis’ arena by Fels. The manager of the arena in front paid Pels an introduction fee and sent him back, then began to figure out our identities.
The funny thing is, they didn’t ask about the usual questions, they only asked about the fight. Things like height, weight, number of people killed, martial arts learned.
“That one?”
“Speaking of myself, I was born in the Pomhen estate, and I was called the bloody storm of Pomhen because I caught up with the bandits and the back alleys there…”
“There is nothing special about that either.”
The old caretaker dismissed Brica’s long lines with one word.
“Grunt…”
“Good. Your name is Muran. Let’s say Milton’s Slayer. You should use Saikan’s Bloody Storm Kimmel.”
It seems to be something like a ring name when entering the arena. I am Milton’s Muran the Slayer, and Brika has become the Saikan’s Bloody Storm Kimmel.
Brica was nodding her head to see if she liked her name.
“Since you are new, you will be fighting in a lower arena. If you wait here, the servant will tell you when we can fight, so don’t go anywhere and wait. The first battle fee is 1 gold coin, but it will get bigger as you win.”
“Okay.”
In order to meet the hidden demon, I have to show that I can become an energetic test subject. In other words, you have to be active here. Only then will he approach me.
“This is our arena’s traditional drink. It is an example of praying for one’s safety to the god of battle. Drink both of them.”
The manager handed us the drink given to us by the servant without any change in expression. I nodded slightly to Brica and drank my drink in one go. It tasted like tropical fruit juice.
“Kuk.”
The janitor who saw us drinking sneered and left the waiting room. After confirming that he had left, I crumpled the glass I drank from with a smile.

“It’s a red clover mushroom.”
It seems that this arena is not simply related to demons. The red mushroom is a monster that Sephiroth’s breeders often use.
There was also a giant red clover mushroom that was processed when the Lizardman King was caught, and the magician and the breeder might have done something together. Or maybe both were involved in Rashid’s business.
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to catch the horse’s clothing and even catch a breather.”
After getting information from the horse doctor, I thought it would be perfect if I went to the breeder as if biting my tail.
“Brica. How are you now?”
“My heart is hot. I have the urge to smash things in sight… Oh, sorry.”
“no. Go on.”
“Sometimes it feels like I am flying, and sometimes it feels like I am swimming, and I am jumping up and down.”
“is it.”
Demon’s venom gets involved in the human mind, turning pain into joy and creating strong violence. Even if Brica didn’t resist, it wasn’t usually so bad that it had such an impact.
Perhaps the arena guys manage by giving antidotes only to the fighters they care about, and most of the fighters will fight a few times and become experimental subjects of demonic intentions.
Whoops.
He immediately absorbed the poison of the magician who was eating Bricca.
“Whew…”
When the poison receded, Brica suddenly felt lethargic and sat down in a chair.
“sorry. I feel like I’m suddenly out of energy…”
“sorry. Take a break and you will be fine.”
I put my strength into Brica, boosted my energy and relaxed my body. After about five minutes, Brica’s complexion returned.
“It’s fine now. It seems to be better than the first time.”
Brica turned her arms around and began to warm up.
“What should I do in the arena?”
“Pump your opponent down like you just got poisoned.”
“hahahaha! It’s something I quite like. What will Yuren do?”
“I’m going to pretend I’m not addicted to drugs.”
I decided to catch two concepts.
Brica attracts attention with her energetic fighter, and I plan to appeal to him with a unique constitution that does not become addicted to the devil’s poison.
If the demon sees the two of us, it will become a bait that has no choice but to bite. He won’t miss me, who doesn’t appear to be poisoned by his poison, and Brika, who is more energetic than anyone else.
[Set Vivid Hound target, Brika.]
[Setting has been completed.]
From noble mtl dot com
I set her as the target of the Beavis hound so that I can find her if she gets caught first.
“Brica. If someone tries to kidnap you, just get caught. Because I know where you are.”
“All right!”
The answer comes right away, without a single doubt. As expected, he is a trustworthy guy who is the best at trust.
“Sykan Storm Kimmel.”
As I was talking with Brika about a few things, an arena employee appeared outside looking for Brica.
“Isn’t Kimmel the Saikan Storm here?”
I was looking for myself, but Brica didn’t answer.
“It’s not a Saikan storm, it’s a Saikan bloody storm!”
Brica frowned and pressed the staff to call her fighter’s name properly. Anyone can see that it is the appearance of drinking a bowl of magic poison. I didn’t know he could act that well.
“Ah, I see. It’s time to fight the Saikan’s Bloody Storm Kimmel.”
“i get it.”
The staff went out with a puzzled look on their faces.
“Blood Storm! It’s a name I like, but it sucks blood.”
“uh…”
It seems that Brica is angry that she didn’t call her fighter’s name properly, not that she acted drugged. He’s a guy you really don’t know.
“Then I will go first.”
“okay. Just do it like before.”
“Um, okay.”
Brica frowned as if she didn’t understand what I was saying and went out, and at the same time an employee appeared looking for me.
“Milton’s Muran the Slayer.”
“Here he is.”
“It’s your turn after him. Get ready.”
“Okay.”
The employee who heard the answer tilted his head. He circled around me and examined the floor without going out.
“Did you finish the drink I gave you?”
“You saw him drinking.”
“Mmm…”
The employee made a tsk tsk mouth sound as if it was strange and then went out.
“It goes according to plan.”
That guy must have gone to tell his superiors that I don’t think I’m poisoned. If the news goes up, it will reach the demon, so I just have to fight and wait in the arena.
“Whoaaa!”
A loud roar was heard. It seems that Brica did a good job.
“Now it is my turn.”
“Milton’s Muran the Slayer.”
When I got up from the chair, an arena employee I had never seen before called me.
“Here he is.”
“Your turn. let’s go.”
I followed the staff into a long, dark hallway. A bright light emanated from the end of the hallway.
“Introducing the next player! This is a new divinity. Muran, the slayer who conquered Milton!”
As soon as I entered the arena, the person who appeared to be the moderator started shouting my name using amplification magic.
“Oooaaa!”
“Milton’s Slayer!”
“What is it? Believe!”
Wild, wild cheers came from the audience on the second floor. Looking around, there were many commoners, but there were also quite a few people who looked like nobles.
“Wow, the rookie met the wrong person today. I don’t know why this person got caught. Spine Killer Furion!”
“Whoaaa!”
“Furion! Furion!”
With a shout twice as loud as when I appeared, a giant 2.2m taller appeared on the other side.
He was similar in height to the guys I saw when I first came to Halton, but I feel sorry for comparing his skills. The author has the skills of a low-ranking knight.
“What is it?”
As I was about to enter the arena, the arena staff called me.
