“This is an order from the match administration. Surrenders are not allowed. The match has to resume until a conclusion is reached.”
5 matches in the current heroes vs the previous heroes.
Just as the third match, was about to finish due to a verbal agreement –no, can it be explained as simple verbal agreement?
“Oh my, what unreasonable people~. They telling us to fight until one of us dies?” (Yoneko)
Yoneko-san, the person that surrendered, was amazed by this.
“Well, I understand what they wanna say-sa ne. The first and second match be also the wins of Sasae and the others after all.” (Oba-san)
The Earth Founder Oba-san, that had stopped her tears, says this boldly.
The first and second match were won by the current heroes team; with the victory of Sasae-chan in the third match, the victory of the whole team would be decided.
By the way, I have no intentions of throwing a bomb.
“Well now, this be quite the bad joke~. Sorry but, I can’t tag along with this. I been missing mah husband and my older child, so I wanna return right now~.” (Yoneko)
But the broadcast increased even more in volume and shouted.
It is a voice I have heard of before.
“Shut up! Fight! Today’s match is programmed to have us win!! A result other than that is unacceptable!! The third, fourth, and fifth match will end with the previous heroes turning the tables with three straight wins! That’s obviously how it is! Don’t go ruining the outline I have drawn, Earth Church’s country bumpkin!!”
That voice, so it really was the General of the Aurora Knights, Dobbe huh.
“Lad, hey Lad.” (Oba-san)
The Earth Founder says with a tiresome voice.
“Just finish it already. I wanna return to mah room and drink tea.” (Oba-san)
She is totally right.
I announce in a loud voice so that everyone in the venue can hear me.
“Third match, current earth hero Gonbee Sasae’s victory!! With this, the current heroes team that has obtained three wins first is the winner!!” (Haine)
““Ooooooo~~h!!!””
Applauses and cheers exploded in the venue.
The audience here are people that came from the five major powers: the Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Light nations.
This means that the strength and legitimacy of Karen-san and the current heroes has been witnessed by the people of the whole world and was acknowledged.
“Don’t go deciding that yourself~~~!!!” (Dobbe)
It looks like the Knight General Dobbe finally felt that a broadcast wouldn’t be enough, he came running to the battle stage.
He forcefully pushed away the tumult of people that he encountered on the way, and even when he pushed away children and women, he didn’t care.
With bloodshot eyes, he approaches me.
“The match just now is not valid! No, this is the lost of the current heroes due to foul play! Bringing such a crazy big statue like that, there’s not a single trace of dignity in such an action!!” (Dobbe)
“Ya saying that the statue of mah mom is stupid-dasu to?” (Sasae)
Those words made Sasae-chan burn in blunt bloodthirst.
“The match before too! And the match before that one too! It is the defeat of the current heroes due to foul play!! In the first place, what is with you! Aren’t you a person in the side of the Founder Yorishiro?! Someone like that doing the job of a referee, there’s no doubt that you made verdicts that were advantageous for the current heroes! That’s why all the matches until now are invalid!” (Dobbe)
“Then, want to clean up the matches of today completely? Counting the team match not long ago, the entrance gate allocations, and even the referee girl that utilized a bomb.” (Haine)
“Guh?!”
My words made Dobbe stop his breathing.
What an idiot.
Why is it that he can complain about others when he himself has mud at his back.
“T-There’s no need to investigate that! There was no foul play there! The suspicious ones are you guys!” (Dobbe)
“Do you seriously think such childish logic is going to work?” (Haine)
“Are you making fun of me?! I am the Aurora Knight’s General! The most proficient military power of the Light Church! It is different from the other trash churches!!” (Dobbe)
Just like that, Dobbe changed his talking target to the crowd.
“Everyone, listen! The current heroes and Founders are trying to destroy the world!! Breaking the current established order, they are trying to bring corruption and chaos. In the first place, the prospering Light Church mixing with the other third-rate trash is a blasphemy to beauty!! Everyone thinks so as well, right?!” (Dobbe)
There were many others here aside from the people of the Light Church. Just what is this idiot saying in a place like this?
“It is wrong to decide such an important thing with a clash of brute strength! Let’s take the opinion of everyone! The majority rule! Everyone should know who is in the right here! If it is with this, there’s no chance we will lose!!” (Dobbe)
But the reaction that came back was not even necessary to guess –it was the appropriate reaction to it.
The venue that was burning in excitement by the victory of the current heroes team, the venue that raised cheers like a tsunami…
Was completely silent.
It fell into silence in an instant.
“Waa?!!”
The pressure of that silence makes Dobbe stagger.
The cold stares of thousands in the venue were mixed with scorn.
There’s no way they wouldn’t think of today’s events as strange. Everyone has left it to themselves for now and continued watching, but if it had ended with the victory of the previous heroes just like that, who knows what kind of chaos would occur later.
An idiot wouldn’t understand that though.
Who knows how much trust he has lost with that ‘safe’ method he speaks of.
Just as the Water Founder says: ‘trust is the most important asset’.
You guys, who readily broke the rules, have lost the trust of the people; in contrast, Karen-san and the others, who were standing straight even when attacked by that unreasonableness, had moved the people and have obtained huge amounts of trust.
That is the result of this.
