Episode 227. The Third Force (13)
Is it because we’ve become friends over time, or does he really think of me as a cockroach?
The conversation between Teron and Yuridia began, with me between them.
“For now, we have to exclude the two of us.”
Yuridia nodded at Teron’s words.
‘There is no greater shame than when a leader steps forward and loses.’
Additionally, it was possible to achieve a mental victory by thinking, ‘Ah~ If I had gone out, I would have won~ Don’t let me see you next time~’
In fact, Teron, Yuridia, and Victoria were not able to participate in the game.
“I guess we should put Dyke last, right? That ‘monster’ will be coming from over there.”
A monster. I was talking about Adonis.
The power of Adonis holding Dyke with one hand. Yuridia also witnessed it clearly.
“… … No, Dyke doesn’t play last. It might be different if he plays first.”
It is strategically natural to place the strongest one last.
But you’re going to let Dyke play first?
Yuridia’s eyes were strangely curved.
“Huh~ You don’t trust Mr. Dyke?”
“Tch, it’s the opposite. I trust you, so I’m letting you go first. Because you’ll bring me… no, us a definite victory.”
“That’s true, but… … it’s a waste to use up the Dyke pattern first.”
“I intend to exploit the loopholes of polytheism.”
Best of 5 matches.
If you get the first three wins, you don’t need to play the next two games.
Teron was picking on that point.
“There is a chance that they will send Adonis first… … but given Victoria’s personality, I don’t think that will happen. Someone with the next level of skill after Adonis will emerge.”
“Not only will you defeat the number 2 of the Victorian faction, but you’ll also secure a solid win… … Is that the strategy?”
“It can also bring momentum. In a multi-game system, the first win has great power. If Dyke is out, I’m worried about what will happen later… … .”
Teron’s gaze turned to Alex in the distance.
He was looking into the distance, then lowered his head slightly and met my gaze.
Is it because her face is so attractive that it catches people’s attention?
‘Really? Too handsome to be treated like a cockroach?’
He looked at Teron with a deep gaze.
It seems like Theron flinched slightly. Am I imagining it?
“… … There’s a secret weapon here too. After that, things will work out somehow.”
“Okay. Then let’s send in Mr. Dyke.”
A moment later, Dyke climbed onto the platform. A child also climbed onto the other side.
In fact, it was a bit of a stretch to call him a child, because he was so huge.
A body size that can fit two dykes with room to spare.
The hammer slung over his shoulder was several times larger than a normal hammer, but it felt small.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Hans. What is your name?”
“… … Dyke.”
“Don’t be ashamed of your defeat. Losing to a strong person like me is not shameful; it’s natural.”
There was no need for further conversation.
As soon as the referee lowered the flag, the two men rushed towards each other.
“Are you going to confront that giant hammer head on?”
“That’s reckless! Evasion should be the priority!”
The moment Hans’s giant hammer swung, Dyke’s sword moved like lightning.
Dyke’s first original bigi.
Scheitelhauw.
Dyke’s sword, which had been raised above his head, was now pointing towards the floor.
The same thing happened with Hans’ hammer. He also succeeded in swinging it at Dyke.
They swung their weapons at each other and both were unharmed.
It was a time when everyone was thinking, ‘Did I fail to maintain my distance because I was too nervous?’
Bam!
Boom! Kookung!
The hammer Hans was holding snapped in half and fell to the floor.
Dyke cut down Hans’ hammer with one blow.
“W, this can’t be happening… …! You’re cutting iron?”
“Hans is losing! That’s ridiculous!”
“At that level… … I wonder if it could be on par with Adonis?”
The Victorian kids were shocked because the defeat was so shocking.
And the same was true for Hans, the person involved.
“I lost? What the… … .”
Hans’ hands tremble as he holds the hammer with only the handle remaining.
Dyke, who had been looking at him like that, opened his mouth.
“Didn’t you tell me earlier not to be ashamed of losing? I wish you would be a little ashamed of losing.”
“Ugh! Are you being sarcastic?”
“No, I’m telling you to figure out your level. Here, I’m… … not at a level that can be called strong.”
“What…! Are you saying that there are people stronger than you?”
“Yes.”
Hmm, you mean Alex?
That’s right. Alex is weaker than Dyke right now, but the main character’s buff can’t be ignored.
I must have felt something from Alex.
I don’t know why the eyes are turned towards me, but… … .
‘I guess it must be a mistake.’
He waved at Dyke.
Then he frowned, as if he had seen a cockroach waving its hand.
Of course, this could also be my mistake.
No matter how much this world is full of negative connotations, it’s still true that people look like cockroaches.
That was nonsense.
As soon as Dyke came down from the training ground, Yuridia whistled.
“Whew~ As expected of you, you’re Dike. When you were my enemy, I was just scared… … But now that you’re my ally, you’re so reassuring!”
“If you are jealous, become my ally too. Then you will be able to feel this kind of strength at any time.”
“Wouldn’t it be the same if Teron came under me? I like it better this way, so let’s proceed this way.”
“… … After eliminating the Victorian faction, I have something to do.”
“Oh, what a coincidence. I was just thinking about something I had to do after that.”
Phagecic-!
Well, these two people get along really well.
Maybe that’s why I suffered defeat in the next two duels.
“… … Didn’t you say that the plan was to exploit the loophole in the multi-determined system and win the three-way match?”
“… … Isn’t it because the child you sent away was defeated?”
“The same goes for Teron’s army, right? Whether it’s Zephyr or Genegi, they lost in an instant!”
In the second match, Alfonso, Yuridia’s right-hand man, appears and loses.
In the third match, Zepha, Teron’s right-hand man, appears and is defeated.
In an instant, we recorded 1 win and 2 losses.
It’s literally a situation where if you lose one more time, it’s all over.
Yuridia started to flap her arms and legs, as if her feet were literally on fire.
‘It’s just like the story.’
Of course, I was extremely comfortable.
Because it was going according to the story I knew.
‘Since Dyke’s victory, the three matches have resulted in one win and two losses.’
Win, lose, lose.
Lose, win, lose.
Lose, lose, win.
The order is random, but it doesn’t deviate from those three.
So it becomes 2 wins and 2 losses, and in the final match, Alex and Adonis face off.
A device and cliché within the game to focus attention on the main character, Alex, and to promote him.
The current two losses were just two losses for that kind of production.
‘That means, whoever goes out this time will win.’
However, Teron and Yuridia, unaware of this fact, were busy exchanging opinions.
“If a child named Adonis appears here… … defeat is certain.”
“You took advantage of a loophole in the premise. Amazing.”
“… … You don’t feel embarrassed even after saying it yourself? What kind of loophole is that! We just took care of it and gave it to you!”
“Ahem! Ahem! Anyway, there’s a high chance that Adonis will show up. So we’ll have to play our strongest card.”
Teron and Yuridia looked around. It was already decided who would leave.
‘Raymon or Luna, or… … .’
me.
Yes, I was thinking of competing in this fourth match.
‘The fifth is fixed to be Alex, so there’s no need to go out, but… … .’
As long as there were possible ‘what if’ cases, we couldn’t let our guard down.
So, I decided to go for the fourth match and eliminate the ‘what if’ scenario.
‘Adonis is the last. He only appears in the fifth match.’
In fact, in all the tens of thousands of times I’ve played the game, I’ve never once seen Adonis appear in a different order.
“Haha, I guess there’s nothing I can do. I have to go out.”
“Yes, Zero! I can trust you.”
“I agree. It would be worth a try even if Adonis appears. I’m worried about the fifth match… … but winning here is important.”
The reaction is as expected. Of course, there is no need to fight Adonis.
As I was heading to the training ground, I saw someone standing on the training ground.
The strange thing is, he was standing on our side.
A girl with pink twin tails.
It was a back view I had seen many times somewhere.
Yes. Standing on the training ground is… … .
“Miss Luna… … ?”
Why are you standing there?
“Hey, sorry, but let me go first. I can’t stand just watching. It’s making my stomach hurt.”
Oh, I see. So you went out without permission? Even though Theron and Eurydia were staring at you with their eyes wide open?
“That crazy cat! Adonis might come out!”
“Really? That would be better. I had something I wanted to repay.”
“I, I, I, I… … !”
Teron grabbed the back of his neck and fell down.
Well, I understand. Even I, who am immune to Luna’s antics, was confused.
For Teron, who already hates Luna, this would be a crazy and outrageous thing.
‘It’s a system where the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th contestants are chosen randomly… … but Luna is included in that probability?’
Something seems strange… …Is it just me?
I needed time to think, but I just couldn’t get my head around it.
Because a cheer erupted from behind.
“You’re going to appear in place of your lover!”
“You’re saying you’ll protect your man!”
“As expected, it’s Miss Luna. She’s a true warrior!”
“Gyaaaah! Luna! Come on!”
Of course, our Luna just picked at her ears with her fingers.
“What is it? Why are they like that? Did they eat something wrong?”
Luna, don’t you think it’s even stranger that you still don’t know the reason?
It wasn’t just Luna who was strange. Yuridia brought both hands together in front of her face and her eyes began to sparkle.
“How… Our Luna is so brave. She really is the best bride-to-be.”
Not the best bride, but the best savage.
He was such a savage and a fighting maniac that it wouldn’t have been strange if he had been shouting “Wooga, Wooga!” right away.
‘Well, I understand that it’s part of an effort to become stronger, but… … .’
The lack of control was a pretty big problem.
“Eurydia, wake up! If Adonis appears on the other side, it’s over!”
“It’s okay! That little brat! He’s meaningless before the power of love!”
“Hey, this fucking bitch!”
Well, it seemed like they had no control over it either.
So Luna stood on the training ground, and someone came up from the other side.
He was a boy with a vicious appearance. He was the complete opposite of Adonis.
“Kekekekekeke!”
The child stuck out his tongue and licked the blade.
… … But is that guy a priest? Isn’t he a punk?
“Lu, Luna!”
“Hey, that kind of scoundrel is Luna’s opponent… … This is too much!”
“Miss Luna, run away! It’s okay to run away!”
“What’s okay? What’s okay… … Ugh!”
Teron, who was about to say something, flew away into the distance.
Because the tightly packed girls came forward.
Did he see that? The evil-looking boy grumbled.
“What is this, a love play between two little kids? It’s making me sick.”
“……what?”
“Isn’t that so? What kind of love can there be between little kids? Do you even know what it is?”
Then Luna started to tremble.
Luna, who had drawn her sword, spoke softly.
“I can stand being called a brat… … .”
but.
“I can’t forgive you for calling me a brat!”
… … Luna.
It’s cooler to say the opposite.
