Chapter 339: Tournament Main Battle, Start (1)

Appearing in the afternoon tournament main battle are all 16 teams including us the Order of the Capybara.

After Ana and the others returned I went to the front row of the subspace spectator seats and joined the Order of the Capybara members.

When I sat between Fullru and Iria who already feel like my fixed positions Fullru pinched my side.

She probably noticed I had Lulu suck my cock.

"Oi oi. That was treatment. Really you do not need to get jealous. In revenge for being pinched in the side I will pinch a nipple okay?"

When I teased Fullru said nothing and puffed her chest a little.

She apparently wants to be pinched.

However spoiling too much is also not good so I decided to do neglect play.

In the center of the arena before I noticed a giant square match field had been made.

Front back left right about 25 meters?

It seems made of stone and has no decoration.

Did a power-proud fighter carry it on his back from somewhere?

No judging from the entrance-gate size bringing it in is impossible so someone created it with a skill or stone magic I suppose.

In the center of the match field Giesch read the names of the teams advancing to the finals.

"Match 1, Order of the Black Dragon A versus Order of the Immortal Wolf.

Match 2, Order of the Purple Bow versus Order of the Black Shadow.

Match 3, Order of the Vermilion Shield versus Order of Red Iron.

Match 4, Order of the Indigo Lance versus Order of White Ice.

Match 5, Order of the Black Dragon B versus Order of Yellow Thunder.

Match 6, Order of the Ash Sword versus Order of the Green Sun.

Match 7, Light of the Three Lances versus Order of Blue Water.

Match 8, Order of the Capybara versus Order of the Silver Staff."

"Fumu. As expected the teams the captains of the 12 regular knight orders belong to have advanced in order.

Besides that the mercenary band Light of the Three Lances that Marvela who is strangely hostile to me and Iria belongs to also has a name... Naa. Was the Order of the Black Dragon not called twice?"

"Ah. Because they have a thick layer. They are appearing with two teams."

"I see. Even the second army has strength enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with other orders’ first armies..."

This era has no electric bulletin board so the tournament combination is only announced orally.

On the beast-skin paper Giesch read the combination seems written.

Wanting to look, when I thought that a tournament table was projected on the huge monitor above the royal tent. That the image changes by the sum of wills of the subspace spectator seats is convenient.

I requested commentary from Iria.

"Now then commentator Iria-senshu. The match table has been announced but how do you view this?"

"Ah. Rank 1 Order of the Black Dragon, rank 2 Order of Yellow Thunder, rank 3 Order of Red Iron, rank 4 Order of Blue Water are placed in separate blocks. And in the first round they fight North Army versus South Army. This is as usual."

"I see. The combination is not decided by lottery or something. By dispersing powerful athletes in each block more intense fights can be enjoyed."

"Ah. This combination is decided by the king and Duke Giesch. Combinations not seen last year only. By the way what is that strange way of talking."

"I am the announcer slot so I need to speak politely to the guest commentator athlete."

"Sometimes I do not understand what Masaharu is saying..."

The opponent we first fight is the Order of the Silver Staff. Lil Cocotti who uses a mind-reading skill is captain.

Recently I have also gotten used to close combat but a mind-reading skill is a natural enemy. If it is known I cannot seriously attack a girl that will be used and I will be driven into a corner.

"Iria-senshu. If the Order of the Capybara fights the Order of the Black Dragon it is the final but Flame-Heat Princess Ana-senshu is in the same block as Strongest Dragunov-senshu. Meaning we will fight only either Strongest or Flame-Heat Princess, is that correct?"

"That is so. We became a different block from Strongest and Flame-Heat Princess but in our block there are high-rank orders like Order of Yellow Thunder and Order of Blue Water and teams with bad compatibility with us like Order of the Silver Staff. A hard fight is inevitable."

"I see. These are all interesting matches and I look forward to them."

Actually I cannot imagine Duran losing and even if Iria is the type poor against the opponent’s ability I cannot think she will lose even if she cannot win.

In other words it is fine if either I or Fullru wins right?

"Now then. Matches are fought in order vanguard, next-vanguard, middle, vice-general, general and the team with more win points advances in the tournament. Will the order of appearing become the point?"

"That is so. Depending on the combination a team superior in ability can lose to a lower team without putting out their strong person."

If the higher-rank orders advance in order we will fight rank 4 in the second round, rank 2 in the semifinal, rank 1 in the final.

If we win we apparently receive one wagon-load of treasure. From hearing the talk if cashed it seems to be 100 million yen so I want to win no matter what and put it toward food expenses.

The Order of the Capybara is last of the first round so first we watch.

The first match of the first round is Order of the Immortal Wolf versus Order of the Black Dragon A.

"Order of the Black Dragon A led by Strongest Dragunov has entered first. Everyone in black armor has an intimidating presence. Oops. The capybara family has come to the commentary seats. There are babies at our feet. They are cute so let us hold them."

I held a nearby baby.
