"What's Lion?" Harty who stepped in front of me turned around to ask such a thing.
"No, I just felt that someone had just patted me on the shoulder."
"There's nobody behind you, maybe it's just your feelings. hurry up, the others have signed up."
"Wait a minute, I don't want to go along with something like this."
"You have to come."
In front of a store there is a super spicy noodle eating race that is followed by several people including people I know, namely Aira, Harty, Valentine and also Mass.
There's someone else I know she's Winny, the holy girl who leads this country. If counting with other participants we all have 10 people.
It is a pity that I am involved in this, not that I dislike the exuberance of those who cheer this spirit but rather that I am simply not strong enough to eat something spicy in large quantities.
The committee gave me a little advice.
"The key to eating spicy food is at its speed, as long as you don't stop immediately then you can eat as much as you like."
This guy must be asking us to die.
Especially when registering we are given a form stating that we will not demand anything to the organizers.
I greeted Winny who was sitting next to me with a trembling body.
"Hey, you're okay."
"Ah Lion, since when have you been next to me?"
This fellow.
"From the beginning."
"I'm sorry, I didn't see... I don't really like to participate in things like this but the royal side says that I occasionally have to participate in this kind of thing to enliven things."
"so."
To be a leader that his people like I guess. The higher-ups must have intentionally done so without telling the reason.
I'm sure it is.
"Fight on Miss Winny."
"We've always supported you."
The pressure is pretty strong too.
For my other members they seem more focused on the food that has been placed in front of their table, namely noodles with meat and super spicy sauce.
Although it looks tempting still it is terrible as if this food says eat us and feel hell.
The organizer started to raise his hand and said 'start' which was our cue.
Five times I and Winny were knocked down at the same time.
"My stomach hurts, my head is dizzy and my legs are shaking."
She had the same symptoms I had now, even so everyone still supported Winny with passion.
"Stop, don't support me anymore."
I felt sorry for him, Winny finally decided to go home to the palace, he had invited me too but I only came for this meal and decided to visit next time.
"Ah yes."
After the two of us, the other participants began to fall back leaving only my members.
Aira and Harty lead while Valentine and Misa lose after spending half.
They are really strong, by the way the medicinal herbs provided by the store owner are quite potent at relieving the symptoms of spiciness.
Some time passed by both of them had finished their food, indeed they had strong stomachs.
"Unbelievably, there are two people who managed to finish their food, according to the rules there should be no two winners because that's why let's re-compete for both" said the committee excited.
I can guess who will win.
Harty's stomach is very big because that's if the endurance fight how much he can eat he's the winner.
Aira could only enter the last few feeds while Harty was still chewing.
"Aira, don't you want to spend yours?"
"Take it, my stomach is full."
"Thank you."
He's a real monster after all I wonder how they can be spicily immune, it can't be answered.
Harty laughed with the prize money he got.
"Let's get my husband back" said Valentine.
"Yes." Yeah."
After buying some souvenirs, we finally decided to go back.
What I bought was noodles with ordinary taste without spicy taste.
The next morning outside the palace grounds I sat alone with Rion sitting while drinking his tea.
"It's peaceful here, Lion."
"Um... Is your stomach okay?"
"Lately the weight has increased, maybe I eat mostly hehe."
"Pregnant mothers are good for eating a lot of food."
"It's true."
I continued after sipping my tea.
"We've always been on adventures together but I still don't know about Rion's past and also about the deadly sin, may I hear the whole story. It makes me curious."
"Fufu back then even though I was sentenced to descend into this world I was still strong, I even defeated the five major demon lords made by Solomon, I don't think this is a boring story."
"Please tell me everything even if it takes all day" I said.
"Well, how about we start when the village where I live freezes completely after Nightmare's departure."
I nodded in agreement and when I realized not only I wanted to listen but all my wives including the waiter and Harty joined in as well.
