“Ah, what are you trying to do?”
“Guaaaaaaa!!!”
The moment I approached him and tried to say something, Illion (Brother-in-law) from the side squeezed Ric’s collar!
He didn’t care that there was a large audience.
“I told you in the initial meeting not to approach me without permission, right?”
After a few moments of creaking, he released his grip…
Ric, panting for breath, was handed water by the fifth slave.
“Young lady!”
“Ah, thank you, Stella.”
“Slaves aren’t allowed to help other slaves on their own.”
“Hiiittt!”
Ah well, even the former Head Maid…
I gave her a Teleport Scroll and let her escape to the Movermas Continent. It can’t be helped as punishment, but considering my age, I can’t really watch this.
“P-please loosen it!”
“That’s not something Ric can say.”
“Um, Brother-in-law, let’s proceed with the event.”
I couldn’t help but help her.
“Deles, it’s still me that you…”
“No, it’s not Ric (Older Sister) but…”
“Don’t talk to my Deles without permission!!”
“Gyaaaaaaa!!!”
This time it’s Nina! Her neck is cracking.
Even if she can be revived…
“Um, I don’t really care about the slave Ric.
If we don’t start the competition, Haitou, the MC, will be troubled, you know.”
“No, it’s not that much for me…”
“Ah, is that so? Well, anyway.”
When Ric’s collar was loosened again, the slave Frau (Older Sister) hurried to cast Healing Magic, but she hesitated, unsure if she could do it on her own. Illion (Brother-in-law) nodded and gave her permission.
(Frau’s healing magic is so slow…)
No, it’s just that we’re too fast.
“Um, quickly return the pot to the starting point.
Also, if you have anything you want to say to me, please go through Brother-in-law or his wife.
Ah, and these five slaves here are the property of the Avakane family, so don’t meddle with them just because they are slaves.”
I announced this to everyone, especially the locals and the adventurers who always come to Branusiava.
Well, it’s a resort town, so people come and go, but rumors tend to linger.
(I need to get the Adventurer Guild to know too, after all, she’s a character, even if she is a slave.)
But if I were to say it myself…
“If you touch me, the Avakane family won’t stand by.”
That would be incredibly annoying in its own way.
As I was thinking this, Illion (Brother-in-law), Nina, and the others urged me on, and we quickly rolled and carried the pot. Ah, Stella is even helping, so there are five of us.
“Um, Brother-in-law, please find out later what Ric (Older Sister) was trying to say to me.”
“Are you sure? If it gets to Deles’ ears…”
“I’m curious. Ah, if it’s something that might make me uncomfortable, then it’s fine.”
“Understood. I apologize that your training isn’t as complete as I thought.”
“No, rather, let’s restart the competition quickly.”
Secretly, I’m also looking forward to the pot-rolling race.
“Thank you for waiting, this is your commentator Haitou.
Let’s take a deep breath and finally begin.
First, in the Human Department, the first to appear are numbers 1 and 2, from the local….”
Watching Ric (Older Sister) and the others being bossed around by the staff, I felt a slight sense of “Payback / Take That” as the competition progressed. Yes, this is interesting.
Thanks to Haitou’s commentary, the gallery is also very lively. This can be used for sightseeing!
(Holding it only once a year seems like a waste.)
It could also be held not only on the Milishitan Continent but also on the Movermas Continent, like in Zazam…
And if they held it on the Shamanias Continent too, they would need an extra-large pot there.
(Still, Harvey works hard, doesn’t he? He’s moving briskly.)
He’s even covering for Mijuki, who sometimes zones out.
How many people is he working as, without a Taming Monster?
In that case… I’ll decide after watching his performance until the end. It’s my decision.
“Now, here come the strong contenders.
Bib number 41, from the Adventurer Party ‘Cutie Island’ on the Movermas Continent, is their Leader, Bunbe! Look at this Huge Body! He’s not a Beastman, and he could be considered one of the favorites to win!”
He’s striking a pose to show off.
His wife, Karna, is cheering him on.
In practice, he threw it and it fell in a strange direction, and he was scolded for not rolling it properly.
“Next, bib number 42, a small sexy monster, the leader of the A-class Adventurer Party ‘Little Lyric’ from the Movermas Continent, Mimi! By the way, she has a small amount of Beastman blood, but she’s participating in the Human category!!”
What’s with “sexy monster”?
Just hearing that title makes you expect something amazing.
No, unless it’s Lustful Berserker level… but I guess there’s no point worrying about that.
(She’s fired up too, hopping around…)
The other two members of the same party are cheering her on.
Really, if I had joined that party, I wonder what would have happened.
As much as they look like it, they’re all quite old, so I feel like I would have been thoroughly dominated.
(No, purely as an Adventurer Party!)
It’s not like they invited me with any ulterior motives.
“Deles.”
“Ah, yes, Nina. I wasn’t having strange fantasies!”
“That’s good, but Deles, you’re number 50, you should start preparing soon.”
“Y-yes, right. Then…”
“Take Nastasia with you.”
At the warming-up area behind the Guild, I’m loosening up my body.
Nearby, there’s a newly built ‘certain’ building, but that’s for later.
While rolling a practice pot, I was waiting for my turn when a figure wearing a collar appeared!
(Ah, Nastasia went!)
And there…!!
