27 – #027 Colosseum (4)
“I found an ally.”
After discussing tomorrow’s plans with Annie, when I visited Vivian’s professor’s office to report this fact, Vivian looked a bit surprised.
“Did you get it already? It must not be easy to find such a person, but is he a reliable person?”
She told her that although she felt a personal closeness to her, the time she talked with me was only about an hour.
I heard about her circumstances, but it was such a short time that I still couldn’t grasp her reliably.
“I think it’s better than the other dirty crap, but I’m not sure yet. So she came to see if she could be trusted.”
“OK? What do you mean?”
Vivian, unaware of her situation, said she had come to the academy to check on her. She didn’t know what that meant and tilted her head.
“That collaborator was wearing an academy uniform.”
“Ah….”
Being a member of the academy means that your personal information is recorded in the academy, so at least you can trust it more than adventurers and gamblers who are no different from bullies.
But she wasn’t sure yet that she was a student at the academy.
She checked my student ID, but if it was fake, I couldn’t recognize it, and even if it did, it wouldn’t prove that everything she said was true.
“If you are a professor, you can see the student list, right? Please find out if there is a woman named Annie in the wisdom class of the academic department. I’ll figure out the rest….”
“Now, wait… Did you just say Annie?”
The moment I heard the name Annie while listening casually, I was surprised by Vivian’s sudden fuss about her.
“Yes? Ah yes… Behold, a woman with big breasts on her head. Is she famous by any chance?”
“Oh, no… It’s the first name I’ve heard today. Is she the woman that collaborator is? And what the f*ck is big?”
She just said a character, but Vivian raised her eyebrows as if she heard something she couldn’t hear.
As she thought about the reason, she remembered that she had said earlier that her breasts were big, and she felt sorry for her.
I haven’t had many opportunities to talk to women so far, so I didn’t pay attention to it, but what I said just a moment ago could be heard as s*xual harassment.
“… That’s because I haven’t had many opportunities to talk to girls until now… I’m sorry if I sounded offended.”
Saying that, she bowed her head, and Vivian gave her a slightly puzzled look and waved her hand.

“She wasn’t particularly upset about it… Anyway, I just need to know his name and address, right?”
“Yes, I’m sorry for making you do this….”
“I have nothing to apologize for… I have a better idea.”
“A better idea?”
“Yes.”
She said she had a good idea, but Vivian’s expression was the kind of wacky smile that anyone can see right before a bad boy starts playing pranks.
But she had no right to deny me anything she thought, as long as Tran Zhu was Vivian.
“… What are you thinking?”
“A very good idea.”

‘Sadly….’
Annie checks her wristwatch and she is back in the alley where she talked to John Doe yesterday.
She was obviously going to hand over the money and go to the Colosseum separately when she came at this time, but even though she came exactly on time, he hadn’t been seen yet.
She didn’t seem like the type to be late. Could something have happened?
‘Or maybe they….’
It was at the time when I was trembling with anxiety, wondering if the moneylenders had planned this to torture my hopes before selling them off.
I waited with a mixed expression of anticipation and anxiety at the sound of someone’s footsteps behind me, and it was not John Doe, but a woman wearing a hood.
‘Woman?’
I could tell it was a woman by looking at the curvature of my body, but I wondered why someone other than John Doe had come.
I waited for a while to see if it was just passing by, but the woman didn’t pass by, but instead came closer to Annie and stared at me intently.
“Hey, there….”
“… ….”
Annie was taken aback by the fierce gaze she felt for the first time.
She was right in front of her nose and Annie could see the girl’s azure eyes hidden behind her hood.
When she saw those eyes filled with an emotion that could be called hostility, she couldn’t say anything and froze.
Her eyes drifted down from her face to her chest, where the woman stared intently at her breasts, then suddenly raised her hand to her chest.
“Kyaa, kyaak!!”
The woman continued to caress Annie’s chest, not with an expression of joy, but with an expression of serious contemplation on her.
She somehow tried to get out of her reach, but she couldn’t get out because her body stiffened under an indescribable pressure.
She trembled, wondering if she was going to be raped like this, and the woman took a step behind her and looked at her hands that had been massaging her breasts until a while ago.
“Um… I don’t know the size, but I won the shape.”
“Hey, there… Who are you?! What to do with me… !”
Annie barely opened her mouth to shout, and the woman then took off her hood to reveal her face.
Seeing her blue hair, reminiscent of her blue lake, Annie recognized who she was at once.
“B, Professor Vivian… !”
“You promised to hand over the money here with an Asian yesterday, right? That’s what I came for.”
In fact, Annie, who was dubious about John Doe’s statement that she had borrowed her money from Vivian in her heart, but when she appeared for real, she unwittingly backtracked from her.
“Professor, why….”
“Since it was a lot of money, I came as an escort. I’ve been talking to him I have money too.”
She nodded because it was not an incomprehensible story, but there was still one question left.
“Then why did you knead my breasts?”
“Just. I touched it because I wanted to touch it, but can’t I?”
“…… Could you lend me more money if I let you touch it more?”
“Stop talking nonsense and let’s go to the Colosseum quickly. I’m hungry after starving all day.”
She touched her breasts out of the blue, and Annie, who wondered if she might not like it, was deeply discouraged.
The first place Annie and Vivian went to the Colosseum with her regrets in her heart was the canteen.
It is not a lie to say that he was starving. Vivian bought enough snacks, including popcorn and hot dogs, to fill both hands.
“I… Then I’ll bet you some money.”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting over there, so come when it’s over.”
She broke up with Vivian for a while, and Annie, who went to filter her money, stopped talking when she saw John Doe’s multiplier.
[Zone degree 6.5 Times]
Thinking of the amount of money that would come if this was successful, Annie gulped in nervousness even though it was not her money.
“Hey, there….”
“Huh? Isn’t that the girl from yesterday? You blew them all yesterday, did you come to blow them today too?”
The employee made a playful joke, but soon after, Annie held out a fancy silver plaque decorated with silver, and her man’s face stiffened and stiffened.
“Joe, one hundred thousand dollars for John Doe….”
“One hundred thousand?! It’s a reverse role for a lady, but is it really okay?!”
“Gwa, it’s okay, so please call quickly.”
“That’s true….”
“And another hundred thousand for John Doe….”
“Again, again?!”
There was a limit to the amount you could bet at one time, but there was no limit to the number of times.
Using this, he bet 100,000 100 times on John Doe and received a total of 100 votes.
After completing the procedures, the employee ran somewhere as if running away, and Annie, who saw that, hurriedly returned to Vivian’s side.
When she returned to her seat, Vivian had already eaten nearly half of that much food, but the floor was full of wrapping paper.
“Did you eat this much already?!”
“Yes, did you buy all the tickets?”
“Yes…. I thought it would be blocked in the middle, but I was surprised that it passed through unexpectedly.”
“I will not stand still. He’s going to do something, but there’s no problem with the rules, so he’s going to do something during the game.”
“During the game? What are you going to do….”
“Well? It starts sooner than that.”
Her majestic music signaled the end of the break, and citizens who stopped by the canteen or restroom hurriedly returned to their seats.
-Geeing!!
Soon after, the music stopped and the gong sounded announcing the start of the afternoon game, and fervent cheers filled the Colosseum.
[Thank you for waiting a long time!! Finally, today’s main event will begin the fierce battle of fighters from all over the world!! Then, the fighter I will introduce first is this fighter!!]
The lights were turned off and the lights focused on the entrance where the fighters came in and out, and a gorgeous blonde man entered with a confident figure like a theater actor.
[I’m sure many of you know! A magic swordsman who is currently active as a gold grade adventurer!! Gide Taion!!]
As the handsome man waved his hand toward the audience, the female team started cheering.
“Gide!!!”
“Here!! Please look at this just once!!!”
“Kyaaa!!
Gide, who participated in many matches including melee, was a well-known adventurer in the Colosseum and a fighter with many female fans because of his handsome appearance.
[The next fighter to be introduced is this fighter!!]
As the lights focused on the other entrance, a large man wearing a helmet made of animal bones walked leisurely with a large club resting on his shoulder.
[A warrior with superpowers who overcame melee battles many times!! Gil Basterd!!]
When Gide entered a moment ago, cheers erupted from the women’s camp, but this time cheers erupted from the men’s camp.
The popularity of the female team was not very good because the games he played were always accompanied by blood and slaughter.

“Road!! I bet everything on you today!!”
“Show me a lot of blood today too!!!”
“Gilham Seeda!!”
After that, many players were introduced, and when John Doe’s turn finally came, the magnificent music suddenly turned into a humorous one, and the emcee said in a voice mixed with laughter.
[The next participant is… hmm… It looks like the monkey came in by mistake! A barbarian warrior from the plain!! John Doe!!]
When the lights illuminated John Doe, John Doe quietly entered the room with his face lowered, not saying anything and not waving his hand.
As he entered, the audience burst out booing, and some even threw leftover snacks at him.
“Huh… I knew I hated Asians, but this is more than I thought. Anyone who sees it will know that this is the east side. Is not it?”
“You are too harsh… ! Why are those people behaving so badly?!”
“There is no such thing as a reason. Originally, the human race likes to bully those below them. Why don’t you have that experience? Or even the experience….”
“… ….”
When Vivian’s words recalled her memories of being ignored and discriminated against just because she was a commoner, Annie could understand a little of what she was saying.
“You may not like that scene, but you will be able to see something interesting soon, so bear with it. But you mean….”
“Yes?”
“Have you ever seen his face?”
“A face? I’ve never seen it because it’s covered….”
“Ummm… I see.”
“Why is that? Do you have any scars on your face?”
“It’s not like that, it looks like someone else is trying to come out.”
The humorous song stopped and a heavy yet serious song, different from the grand music from before, began to resound in the Colosseum.
Annie, who was not familiar with the circumstances of the Colosseum, tilted her head because she did not know this music, but the other spectators held their breath and looked forward to the giant’s appearance.
[Everyone… In fact, a special fighter that was not scheduled for today participated!! Please welcome us with thunderous cheers!! Champion of the Colosseum!! Jack Giant!!!]
The crimson lighting created a path reminiscent of a red carpet, and a tall man with a height of 2m appeared as he stepped on the path red like blood.
Jack, who was more than two heads taller than John Doe, could hardly have seemed the same person.
His muscles were so bloated that the muscles in his arms were bigger than Annie’s head, and the great sword in his hand was stained with dark red blood, suggesting what kind of warrior he was.
“Jack!!! Jack!!!”
As the crowd frantically chanted the name Jack, Vivian said to Annie, ignorant of the Colosseum.
“Last year, he won the 1:1 match, the monster match, and the melee. Since then, he’s so strong that it’s meaningless to bet on him, so you can’t see him very often.
“Th-That kind of person came out, but is Mr. John okay?!”
To Annie’s question, Vivian just laughed and didn’t give a clear answer.
The silence increased Annie’s anxiety, but Vivian turned her head towards the arena as if she wasn’t interested.
[This time, because he participated unexpectedly, Jack will leave after defeating only one player! Please look forward to his full-fledged performance next time!!]
With the emcee’s blatant remarks, the bell announcing the start of the game finally started ringing.
When the match started, Jack immediately rushed at John Doe as promised, and after a while, as the cheers of the crowd echoed, no one expected except for one person.
