Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Tournament - Final [2]

The first match was a landslide victory for Benimaru

Gozurl needs to discipline himself and fix his anger. Anyway it was decided for him to be exiled alone within the Dungeon.

Weighted bracelets and anklets will be worn on him, it will make him have a disadvantage when fighting against challengers.

Even with that flaw, he was still too strong.

Looking at the appearance of the audience, even though they did not understand the situation, it seemed like they vaguely understood Benimaru's strength.

It seems like the excitement will continue, let's do another great battle.

Alright, due to the irresponsible announcement and comments from Souka, it is impossible to understand the current match.

Souka, even though I said that you are allowed to give an explanation, but your specialty is a fraud to some extent, there is no need to provide an explanation for this match.

Oh well, even though there are no plans to uncover their true abilities.

Suddenly I felt someone was looking towards Me, it was a girl with rather long ears who was staring (?) In my direction.

I remember, he participated in the second match yesterday and was immediately thrown off the field.

Is she a Half Elf [1]? I think so because his ears are a little small.

Hm. He doesn't have to watch me.

Oh well, that must be my imagination.

Near the girl's seat, there was a person I knew.

They are Tengus.

What's up!? The girl who was the granddaughter of the elder, her face flushed red.

Although the guards nearby seemed to be calling out to him, but he did not move in the slightest.

Is he sick? All right, if there's something they'll say.

So I pondered, then I left My seat.

Yakisoba, if I don't go quickly it will sell. Though there's no need to eat, I have to buy it before it runs out.

After all, it was a good meal so how else. [2]

After the lunch break was over, it was time for the start of the next match.

Second match ... Souei vs Dagura.

There was no need to watch it, it was Souei's victory.

Although, it seems that Souei also intends to last for 30 minutes.

Without forgetting to serve the audience, he did not neglect to bring it to life.

A reliable man is different.

But there seems to be a problem. And that's ……,

「Alright ~ then, finally started! This is our Souei-sama match !!

Dagura contestants who have no redeeming features other than having little muscle strength. In that case, how will he fight !?

Against Souei-sama, I thought he was a worthless little boy, but at most I wish for your cooperation to liven up the match! 」

What a favoritism announcement.

It was already on the level to feel sorry for Dagura.

I immediately stopped the match, and announced the change of broadcaster.

As expected, he was exaggerating. I will stop using Souka for Souei matches.

And because of that, Shuna came in to replace Souka as a Broadcaster.

Different from Souka, the beauty and neatness of Shuna captured the hearts of the audience in the blink of an eye.

It was as if he was using a Skill, but it was only his natural charm.

“Start!”

This time the match must have started.

Dagura first, then,

「UoOOOO! Please look at this, Shion-dono!

The greatness of my growth !! 」

So he shouted, while wrapping his entire body with touki [3], and tackling [4] himself towards Souei with a powerful force.

It was, like a huge energy ball, it had the power to blow away any opponent it came into contact with.

However,

「It's just a shadow.」

Ja.

It wasn't an imitation, but it was a real shadow.

Small remaining magic power particles left behind by 『Transfer Spatial』.

Because it has mass and existence, the rest of the body image can even be referred to as a clone.

When you use the clone technique to the maximum extent, at that time it will also start to produce a fake body.

This is a very difficult technique, even if you acquire such a skill, you may not be able to use it. To master it, you must continue to practice, only after that you can use your abilities well.

He appeared behind Dagura and from his blind spot, an energy ball hit the nape of Dagura.

The energy ball was as big as a fist, but it did not have the penetrating power as strong as Benimaru. However, the effect must have been incredible since it was a punch that led to a vital point.

By the way, when Benimaru defeated Gozurl with one punch, he used the energy he had possessed for 30 minutes.

Youki [5] was denser than what was normally emitted, it was smoothed out with the addition of the penetration attribute.

Since he had the disposition to break through the magic barrier, maintaining a pure aura was impossible.

Against an enemy superior to ours who mastered the use of many barriers, this was one of the effective special techniques.

Souei's energy ball this time, did not have a strong penetrating force, it was just a condensed energy ball.

However, Dagura knelt down on one knee after being hit by the attack precisely at the nape of the neck.

「You are fine .... Although I rate you only as an insect following Shion-dono, you are quite strong.

Just because you're a little popular. Don't get carried away with the mood!

Even your murderous attack, it will not be able to injure this great me! 」

…… .Eh?

Dagura, what are you saying?

If you say that, what about the phone punch you made while kneeling?

Portion ……. Isn't it obvious that the goal isn't that !?

Surprise I had nothing to do, Dagura raised her touki.

The leaking Youki filled the inside of the barrier, the air near Dagura's surroundings clearly made a strange fluctuation and started to drift.

The density is so high that a normal audience can see it.

Sure. Only the energy of this person was a Demon King class.

However, he still did not understand at all how to use it. That was the reason why he was sent and came to this country to study.

Also, it will soon reach the 30-minute mark. It will end with the next attack.

“Take this! My best attack !! Blasting the Forest of Rage of Mother Earth [6] !! 」

It was a haphazard attack technique.

With all his strength, he thought nothing of defense at all. If explained in one word, he was an idiot.

He focused all the youki covering his body on one point, and then he released it towards Souei.

It was spread out yet concentrated only at one point. There was no way to escape, a full offensive technique.

But, it is only if the opponent cannot use the transfer… ..

「Fuhahahaa! Even if you move and run away, I will chase you anywhere!

To chase after an opponent who teleported, would you really be able to do that?

Since it was inside the barrier, he would soon find it. Anyway, I found a problem with that technique.

The biggest problem was, it did not leave a single Youki to endure.

If the attack he received back then was a deadly blow then he would be defeated, that was the basis for valuing defense rather than attack.

And then, 30 minutes passed.

Souei just unattractively transfers from one place to another, just when the time becomes 30 minutes,

「Dead SentencesHazy Life Reaping Slash? Weak version 」[7]

One step murder.

Two katanas inside one blade, a sword that could even attack souls.

Physical and spiritual. A sword with a different purpose.

This time, a blow with a katana that kills the soul. If he used a skill, he would inflict fatal damage.

If Souei had not been lenient to his opponent, he would have been dead by now.

「It only strikes with the back of the sword!」 So Shuna explained, the audience clapped and cheered, but it was a frightening technique.

Initially, it could cut up to the soul, but Souei stopped it right before cutting off the soul.

This guy, not only fought using threads, his sword skill was also excellent. Really, I don't know which is better between Souei and Benimaru.

Hearing the Wisdom of King Raphael tried to tell Me, but I passed. I want to hold back the anticipation.

With this, the second match was ended.

Third match .... Gobuta vs Hero Masayuki.

In that case, the highlight of this match was, whether or not Hero Masayuki was genuine.

Although Hero Masayuki's legs seemed to be trembling slightly, was this person trembling with excitement?

Really true? Is he really the same as Hinata?

I noticed the reason.

?????????????????????????

(POV Masayuki)

Nice to meet you, my name is Honjou Masayuki.

What am I doing now? That's what I want to know!

In front of me, stood a rather cold [8] soldier. It was Hobgoblin according to what announcer Onee-san said.

The scourge? He must be lying! How could he say a cool warrior evolved from a goblin

Or rather, something like that doesn't matter.

The problem is, for what reason am I in a place like the Colosseum, and being Hobgoblin's opponent? That's what I want to ask.

This, no matter how you look at it is a duel now,

Not likely……. Really, I will fight !?

One year has not passed since Masayuki came to this world.

The place he arrived at was called the Kingdom of Ingrasia, he did not understand the reason why he was somehow in that place, then he was helped by a boy who introduced himself as the leader of the Freedom Association.

Although Masayuki thought that the boy was in the same generation as him, but the boy said that it had been more than 10 years since he came here.

The boy is Kagurazaka Yuuki, he is taking care of Masayuki who does not understand anything.

Just remember now, Masayuki realized that he has Unique Skills 『The Chosen One [9]』, he thought back then he consulted about it to Yuuki.

It was a story of a time when 3 months had not passed since he came here.

Unique Expertise 『The Chosen One』, the effect of the skill is amazing.

There would be an excellent explanation for him for every action the opponent took, whatever he did would result in heroic actions and would be praised, it was an unfair ability.

Moreover, since Masayuki himself attracted super fortune, the result of his normal attacks would be a Critical Hit [10].

Well, even though Masayuki's kendo skill level was only at the hobby level so it wasn't a big deal, but he was unmatched by bandits or low-class monsters.

Masayuki entered the Freedom Association on Yuuki's recommendation, and started as an adventurer.

At that moment, he thought that his extremely high offensive ability was unnatural when compared to the others, this was when Masayuki first realized his ability.

However, the real frightening thing about this ability was something else.

The effect was also applied to Masayuki's companions.

And also, even though it was an act done by his friend, everything would be a feat of Masayuki.

In other words, all of his comrades' attacks would also be Critical Hits, the moment they received his blessing. And, any admiration for his best friend will belong to Masayuki.

If he remembered, since Masayuki had the desire to become a hero [11] it gave rise to this ability.

When Masayuki consulted about this ability to Yuuki, a smile appeared on Yuuki's face.

After that, his head started to turn hazy, day after day he started to feel like he was becoming someone else.

Masayuki and his friends, growing at an incredible speed, after about half a year had passed, he was referred to as “Hero [12]”.

He also participated in Ingrasia’s Tournament but he easily became a champion.

After all, just by drawing his sword, the opponent declared 「I give up」 and lose. The audience, who saw it, seemed to have misunderstood it as an instant attack, but actually nothing happened at all.

It was one of the effects of Unique Skill 『The Chosen One』, they just hit “Hero’s Haki [13]”.

To counter this ability, if it was not a Unique Skill holder with the same strength, then the opponent would not be able to withstand it. However, it was never said that it was an omnipotent ability.

After all, Masayuki who arrived yesterday had no doubts.

We're Unbeatable. We can win against any type of opponent. Even if it was unfounded, he still believed it.

(WHY! I believe in such a stupid delusion ……. Or rather, I want to escape. I really want to escape!)

While in confusion, Masayuki tried to understand the situation desperately.

If things like this, it is better if his head remains in the fog …… ..

So. First of all, why is the fog gone? That was the question Masayuki had.

He remembered! Last night.

He goes and says things like 「Prepare yourself, the one who will beat you is this me!」 To the silver-haired boy (?) Who is the Demon King.

Then, 「Oh really? Do your best! 」Taken saying that, he patted her on the shoulder.

And then, when he sleeps at night, his head feels refreshed, he wakes up right.

Eh? Why am I in this place? That was his assessment of his current situation.

No, his memory was still intact, but he did not understand why it could become like this.

To be honest, just by remembering what he said, he was shocked by the excessive emotions.

Confidence in the appearance of the friend he brought, he felt shaken by the excessive emotions from him.

「So ~, the third match has finally started!

What kind of bewitching fight will happen between the greatest young warrior Tempest and Hero Masayuki !?

Now, the two of them stared at each other in the middle! 」

(Damn. There really is no time.)

Masayuki's mind became confused.

Usually he has an inexhaustible curiosity about how the one-san's tail of the announcer connects to his butt, yet he doesn't have it now.

He turned his eyes to the opponent. Then, is that a coincidence? Their eyes met each other perfectly.

If he were to pay close attention, his opponent was also nervous, it seemed like the opponent could not calm down.

It resembled the appearance of an opponent in Ingrasia’s Tournament.

So Masayuki thought. Although the fog had been cleared, it did not mean that his ability disappeared.

Then, isn't the effect of turning each of his actions into something considered a heroic act still there?

If that was true...even if he ran away from here, the audience might interpret it that way, right?

All right, let's go! Masayuki.

After all, if the match started, he would be beaten. Even if his ability could affect his current opponent, he was unsure if it could be used on the next opponent.

Because, even though he only glanced at the big black wolf and the dragon knight, he didn't seem to be an opponent he could win over.

Even with the weapons made from Mithril [14], he did not think it possible to pierce through the steel feathers and scales.

Here, let's run. That wasn't a mistake.

What reason would he make? He suddenly thought of such a thing, but he chose to leave without saying anything.

She was shy, she thought various good reasons… .. Aye! There's spectators.

So he thought, 'cause,

“Wait. This match, I'm backing out. 」

He frantically tried to cover up his trembling voice, and only said things to that extent.

And then without any additional comment, he immediately turned around and left.

Having to concentrate this much to move his legs, it was the first experience of his life.

Therefore, Masayuki made an incredible escape from the greatest emergency of his life.

(PoV Masayuki ends)

?????????????????????????

Staring at each other in the middle of the stage were Gobuta and Masayuki.

However, Masayuki suddenly declared his resignation, and then he immediately left the place.

As expected, was he just a bully brat? Or is there another intention?

Gobuta takes a guts pose but,

「Oooooto !? An unexpected event. It was the unexpected resignation of Hero contestant Masayuki!

However, given the current situation, we will be able to see the true abilities of the Gobuta Contestant in the next match ~

Was the opponent a Gabil contestant? Or the Ranga contestant !? Please look forward to it! 」

Likewise with the announcement from Souka who came back on this match, he seemed to have remembered the next opponent.

Soon Gobuta's face turned pale.

If it's like this, it's better if I'm defeated now-ssu! So did the voice that sounded from the heart of Gobuta.

Although the audience started to fuss,

“That's him! Is it because he is in front of the Demon King that he cannot be serious!? 」

「Now after you mention it! Since the Demon King did not participate in this tournament, he retreated! 」

「Well, isn't it because he won't be able to fight the demon lord that he has no reason to survive?, after all the strongest will be made clear to be black and white.」

「So he has no hobby to beat up subordinates, except the Demon King himself? As expected of Hero Masayuki! 」

And so, they began to agree with an astonishing explanation.

Later,

『Ma ~ Saayuki, Ma ~~ Saayuki !!』

It has become a great choir.

To this cheering, Masayuki replied by raising one hand.

Although the action is a bit awkward.

Whatisthis? Is this religion !?

I'm a little surprised by it.

Why was it that just by rejecting the match, he received such a high evaluation? I don't understand what people think.

But, why did he suddenly stop the match?

“Lavatan. Last night, due to contact with the master, the brainwashing by Yuuki came to a halt. It was the result of his assessment.》

Uh! So there he is.

Or rather, I can lift it with my youki? His last night's condition must have been due to the effects of Brainwashing \= Mind Manipulation [15].

However, if the brainwashing disappeared all of a sudden, he would definitely feel nervous. Then leads to .......... he withdraws, did he decide on the action after he thought about it desperately?

If that's the case, it's amazing.

I need to praise him later. He is a good example of Japanese. I want to hear the story too.

I'll ask Hakurou later to make Sushi, but I have to ask him to come.

Anyway, although unexpectedly, the third match also ended.

Fourth match ... Gabil vs Ranga.

Well then, it was the last game of the day.

This match, frankly I already know the result.

It was very sad, no matter how hard he worked, there was no chance for Gabil to win.

As I thought, Gabil started attacking Ranga with his spear as soon as the initial signal was given, but it was repelled by Ranga's feather so the attack did not reach.

Compatibility is also the worst.

Whirlpools were generated, trying to seize Ranga, but the momentum of the vortex was killed by the Tempest Ranga's ability.

He attacked from the sky as well, but since Ranga had gained the ability to run in the sky, it could not be an advantage for Gabil.

Clearly, the breath attack was also useless against Ranga.

This is a very unlucky place.

He meets an opponent he cannot win.

Is that a side effect of 『Tuner』? There were times when he was lucky, but there were also times when he was lucky.

Although it's easy for him to get lucky in critical moments but I think in other occasions his misfortune will come out.

Last time, like when he was fighting against a Holy Knight, it was probably the result because he was lucky.

Thanks to that, this time the situation became like this.

Well now, the attack from Gabil ended, and it all ended in vain.

The rest is fun playtime for Ranga.

That's also rude. Since Gobuta won the last match by default, the remaining time of the match is added to this match.

For an entire hour, Ranga would play as much as possible.

Oh yes, this became a training for Gabil, also a good attraction for the audience.

Gabil, do your best!

I support Gabil in my mind.

And I join hands to pray.
