Chapter 538 - 524: The Dodgeball Tournament! The Kind Where You Die If You Don’t Pay Attention

Chapter 538: Chapter 524: The Dodgeball Tournament! The Kind Where You Die If You Don’t Pay Attention

[ Watching the situation become increasingly tense, Kazuma suddenly broke down and retorted: "It doesn’t matter what you dip fried chicken in at all!"

Soon, everyone in the class joined the argument. Fortunately, the instructor appeared in time to temporarily stop this dispute.

Finally, under Rerugen-Sensei’s proposal, the whole class voted. Consequently, the class members were divided into the Ketchup Faction, the Salt and Pepper Faction, and the Mayonnaise Faction.

Darkness looked at Rem, who was standing in the Salt and Pepper team with her, with some confusion: "I thought you would be a pair with Subaru."

"Rem will always be Subaru’s partner, but..." As she spoke, Rem’s eyes began to burn with raging flames: "Only this, only this... I cannot accept!" ]

〜Type-Moon World, G̶̘̏̕͜ṟ̶͠a̵̹͂̆n̵̻̤̎d̶̞͐ ̷̫͇͑C̸̛̪̬ȃ̴̯r̵̓̓͜n̸̜̋͗î̷̭v̸̱͆ȃ̷̫̚l̵͚̋ Worldline, Chaldea〜

"Did you see that, Mash!"

Gudako, known as the Beast of Chaos, looked at the screen solemnly:

"It’s a matter of principle. Even Rem won’t stand on Subaru’s side!"

Eating fried chicken with mayonnaise is an absolutely intolerable evil! The correct way to eat fried chicken is to dip it in chili sauce.

Watching her Senior, who had clearly already picked a side, Mash sighed helplessly:

"Actually, what Kazuma said is right. It doesn’t matter what you dip fried chicken in, Senpai!"

"Ah~ As expected, it appeared."

Gudako’s tone suddenly became extremely weird, as mocking as it could possibly be:

"You damn follower of the Balance Sect."

Every time there is a faction war, there will always be a few of those Balance Sect members who embrace everything. They refuse no one and can accept all kinds of bizarre ways of eating.

"UMU~ Well said, Master!"

Nero instantly pushed the door open and entered, waving her hand with great momentum:

"This is a war; we can no longer afford to slack off."

"..."

Listening to this somewhat familiar dialogue, Mash suddenly had a bad premonition. If they held some inexplicable competition again, there really wouldn’t be any money left to protect Chaldea!

Soon, under the persistence of His Majesty Nero, the Heroic Spirits of Chaldea also launched a fierce ’Holy Grail’ war for their respective ideals.

Regrettably, the constantly persecuted Cu Chulainn was the same as always; he was finished before it even started... Because this guy turned out to be a Vinegar Dipping Party member and was instantly despised by all the Heroic Spirits unanimously.

( Translator-kun: Hey! That’s too much im also a Vinegar Dipping Party member! wdym ’ instantly despised ’?! Vinegar sauce on fried chicken is the ultimate supreme choice! )

.....

[ Ainz’s Ketchup Faction also had quite a few people. Most of the Guardians were there, and even Megumin thought that the crimson sauce was the most suitable for her as a Crimson Demon.

Unexpectedly, Kazuma and Aqua’s opinions were unified this time, choosing the Mayonnaise Faction represented by Subaru!

Subsequently, Rerugen-Sensei proposed that a dodgeball game be launched based on these factions to decide who is correct. It is worth mentioning that the ball used this time can be infused with magic power.

Hearing this, Ainz’s eyes emitted a faint red glow: "I don’t mind. Can you handle it, Tanya? My Mayonnaise Faction is full of elites!"

Tanya glanced at Ainz with cold light radiating from her eyes, appearing equally confident: "I return those words to you intact. Witness the terror of the Salt and Pepper Faction with your own eyes."

Caught between two big shots, Kazuma spoke up somewhat weakly: "Um... speaking of which, our Mayonnaise Faction is at a super disadvantage."

Natsuki Subaru expressed deep understanding: "I know, because we are here. I super get it!"

At the same time, in order to balance the numbers, Rerugen-Sensei also pulled in Naofumi and his group, who were passing by the door, to participate in the competition. ]

〜Gintama World〜

At the Shinsengumi headquarters, Toushirou Hijikata became anxious as soon as he saw the faction composition:

"No... Instructor, there seems to be a problem with your distribution of numbers!"

He felt the world’s deep malice towards the Mayonnaise Faction... The two weakest reincarnators, plus a mentally retarded goddess, how could they possibly win?

Sougo observed for a moment and then realized:

"There is indeed a bit of a problem. How could the Mayonnaise Faction have so many people..."

"That’s not what I’m talking about!"

Toushirou Hijikata skillfully held a cigarette in his left hand and took a deep, melancholy drag.

The high-end combat power all ran off to the damn Salt and Pepper Faction and the Ketchup Faction. The Mayonnaise Faction lacks high-end combat power to hold the fort!

However... after Sougo mentioned it, Hijikata suddenly discovered that there seemed to be quite a few mayonnaise lovers in other worlds, too. He finally found his organization.

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

"The combination of Kazuma plus Subaru... Just surrender. It’s not too late to change your taste now."

Tohsaka Rin was speechless, looking at the scene before her. There was absolutely no visible hope of victory.

Those two were indeed quite strong when it came to dying and coming back to life; after all, they were used to dying.

However, if discussing individual combat power, they couldn’t compare to the two next to them at all, although she didn’t want the Mayonnaise Faction to win either...

Illya slowly shook her head:

"Don’t say that, Rin. They still have the weapon of mass destruction, Goddess Aqua!"

Aqua counters Ainz, but Aqua was scared to tears by Tanya, and Ainz’s strength should be no problem in dealing with Tanya. A perfect closed loop has been formed.

Cu Chulainn immediately sneered:

"Indeed a weapon of mass destruction, but it’s the same for her teammates..."

Aqua’s pitfalls are obvious to all; it’s best not to have too high expectations of her.

.....

[ Soon, everyone arrived at the playground. Viktoriya was in charge of hosting the whole event, and for this reason, she specially invited the owner of the barbecue restaurant to be the commentator on site.

And the owner of the barbecue restaurant was still that middle-aged uncle with a mohawk wearing pink suspenders.

For this, Viktoriya specially asked for this uncle’s opinion: "Boss, what do you think of this match?"

The uncle crossed his arms over his chest and once again spoke extremely profound words: "I can feel a throb of life that I have never experienced before." ]

[ .....]

〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

In the Axel Adventurer’s Guild, Dust, Kazuma’s good buddy, also found the tailor uncle who was drinking with a deep expression on his face.

"This drink is on me!"

Subsequently, Dust sat down next to him with great familiarity and put his hand on the other’s shoulder:

"Brother from Hell, how do you achieve such a strong presence! Teach me."

Clearly, his profession is a tailor, yet every time he’s seen, he gives off the aura of an expert. His words are unfathomable, making even Dust sometimes suspect if he is a hidden big shot.

The tailor uncle crossed his hands under his chin, his eyes somewhat dark:

"Oh? Little brother, do you know that after walking in the darkness for a long time, one will yearn for that faint glimmer of light..."

"Wh... what do you mean?"

Dust looked confused. Big brother, I’m just here to learn; don’t speak such profound words, I can’t understand!

After the receptionist’s big sister, Luna, put down the wine, she rolled her eyes speechlessly:

"He means that it’s enough to just come out and brush up your presence when you have nothing to do."

This uncle is just an ordinary regular customer who likes to pretend to be an old hand. He usually likes to advise newcomers who want to become adventurers, saying things like... ahead is hell.

.....

[ Soon the game began. Shalltear served first. The dodgeball infused with magic power instantly hit Darkness, and the latter was directly eliminated.

Ram, Rem, and Cocytus even dedicated a classic scene paying tribute to Captain Tsubasa, but it was copied and blocked by Mare and Aura.

The combination skill was cool, but it was a foul for a dodgeball game, so they were all given a red card by Rerugen-Sensei: "You guys, no using your feet!"

Then, when it was Neumann’s turn, he lost possession of the ball directly due to a Steal from Kazuma.

"Well done, give me the ball!" After praising him, Aqua snatched the ball from Kazuma’s hand without a second thought.

"Listen to me, originally the Axis Church forgives everything, but right now, what I want to add to my fried chicken is mayonnaise!"

As she spoke, Aqua threw the ball high, her right fist began to emit light, and then she swung it fiercely: "Take this, God Blow!"

The dodgeball infused with holy attributes rushed towards Ainz as expected, but was blocked by Albedo.

Just like that, when it passed to Emilia, she also infused it with ice attribute magic power and smashed it towards Naofumi in front: "I’m sorry..."

Looking at the menacing dodgeball, Naofumi saw the situation and directly used the Shield of Wrath, using his ultimate move to activate Berserk Mode: "OH OH OH—!!"

Seeing Naofumi use the strongest shield so far, Raphtalia was stunned: "Why are you so serious?!" ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"Aqua really never changes; she’s clearly aiming for Ainz, even using God Blow."

Everyone rolled their eyes speechlessly at Aqua’s act of pursuing personal grudges. Although everyone knew that ’God Blow’ couldn’t even hurt a frog, and the Axis Church was a cult for brain-dead people.

But it was super effective against the undead! Injury upon grazing, death upon touching.

.....

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

Tohsaka Rin revealed a look as if she had seen a ghost:

"This ball has withstood so many powerful attacks, yet it hasn’t broken?"

Each one threw the ball as if they were throwing a cannonball. As a vessel, the ball withstood so many skills and yet remained sturdy; it was truly admirable.

"As for why he’s so serious..."

Emiya Shirou’s mouth twitched upon hearing this:

"Because if he isn’t serious, he might die right there!"

Didn’t she see what kind of monsters were playing ball? Kazuma and Natsuki Subaru at least had the mentally retarded goddess for protection, but Naofumi really could only rely on himself.

Cu Chulainn immediately felt sour upon hearing this:

"It’s just a game; if you’re serious, you lose, but if you’re not serious, you die!"

The rotating thrust of the blue lancer, ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, large-scale car accident scenes... In short, you can’t be unserious in any competition; you will really die!
