Chapter 264 Winners and Losers ⑤

Part 1

Thus, our Supreme Martial Arts Festival came to an end in a tumultuous way.

We had gained something and we had lost other things. And as usual, I was swept along from start to finish.

With Zebrudia at the lead, the “Fox (Kitsune)” eradication accord had been signed, those actions had been taken by those who had been watching us at the event, and Gark and his group were very excited, so the world is in uproar but that’s none of my business.

If there is only one thing that they and I agree on, it is that――Criminal organizations should die. If evil people disappear from this world, I can live a little more peacefully without any misunderstandings or being called the “God of Lightning (Raijin)” or something.

As we were preparing to leave Cleat, Luke, who had been boredly polishing his wooden sword on his chair, suddenly spoke up.

“But you know, Cry. Isn’t Cry the only one who got all the stuff this time?” (Luke)

“………… Yes?” (Cry)

No, no, I didn’t get anything, okay?? It’s true that I was lazing around, but I can’t say I gained something, and the final moment was a real mess.

It was Luke, not me, who snatched Kryhi’s staff.

However, for someone to be willing to listen to what Luke is saying, the world is really big.

Maybe because he could sense my exasperation, Luke straightened his posture and said.

“Because, seeeee, I was also looking forward to participating in the Supreme Martial Arts Festival and slashing strong guys, you know? Not only you were the only one who got to fight, but you were also able to fight against such a strong “Fox (Kitsune)”, that wasn’t what we talked about. Even I wanted to fight and be struck by lightning――” (Luke)

I don’t understand the second half of the story, let alone the first half. So there are people who want to be struck by lightning, so mysterious.

“Well, that criminal hunt was fun in its own way, you know? But you know, that was just an appetizer. If the main dish that I thought was going to have was taken away, even I, who is aiming to be a cool swordsman who doesn’t talk a lot, would complain. Okay, Cry. I want to slash to the death strong guuuuys!” (Luke)

Said Luke with a serious expression and full of emotions. No, no, no………… Even during the Supreme Martial Arts Festival, you can’t kill people……

“And well, Lucia and Anthem still have it good, right? Because they did something reckless like stopping that huge amount of energy at the end! I don’t know what happened to Sytry, but she was making peace signs! But where are my enemies! Cutting through falling rubble is just boring! Cry, where’s my enemies! My enemies that I can slash on! MY E-NE-MIE-S! No to discrimination!” (Luke)

Luke begins to stamp his feet on the ground and scream like a child.

A cool swordsman… Who doesn’t talk a lot…………?

Apparently, he had built up a lot of frustration……

That’s when Liz comes in with an exasperated look on her face.

“Luke-chan, I heard that you tried to cut down the “Previous War Emperor (Zen Butei)” but he escaped you.” (Liz)

“That guy’s a coward! He said he wouldn’t fight outside of a match because it would destroy buildings. If it were me, I would have gladly fought!” (Luke)

That is why you can’t become the “Sword Saint (Kensei)” even though you are willing to fight and are the best with a sword…… Apparently, the “Sword Saint (Kensei)” requires a certain amount of spiritual training.

“Yeah, yeah, Luke-chan. Cry-chan is troubled, so let’s go over there, ‘k……” (Liz)

She said in a reproachful voice. And Luke raised a strong tone as her hand grabbed him from behind.

“Aaah!? Liz, aren’t you in the same boat as me!?” (Luke)

“Hmmm………… If Luke-chan wasn’t sulking, I would have done it, but it is useless for me to do it side by side with Luke-chan……” (Liz)

Said Liz with an exquisite expression like she couldn’t stomach it. Apparently, there is still some shame inside Liz.

So Liz wanted enemies too…… So this is…… A first-class Hunter! Please ask Zuri to teach you some common sense.

As I watched Liz dragging Luke with such thoughts in my mind, Liz turned around and *bishiri* pointed her finger at me.

“But, Cry-chan! I’m not satisfied either, okay! You’ll make it up, ‘lrigh!” (Liz)

“Eeeeeeeh………….” (Cry)

It seems that I owe her now…… What is going on?

Lucia, who had been silently getting ready until now, stared at me when she heard Liz’s voice.

“I will say it just in case, Luke-san said something like that, but I don’t agree with it either, Leader! Not only was I forced to miss my certification exam, I was also forced to stop that thing!” (Lucia)

“……………… I’ll give you Kryhi’s staff.” (Cry)

“!? I don’t want it!” (Lucia)

But what the hell did I do? …… The one who did all the bad things is the “Fox (Kitsune)”. The criminal organization called “Fox (Kitsune)”. Why am I the one who needs to make it up to them?

“Me too! Me too! You will have to make it up to me! Not only they took Kilkill-chan from me, but I also didn’t get the organization I was supposed to get! Apu!” (Sytry)

“Syt, you were in such an excellent mood that you were making peace signs, didn’t you!” (Lucia)

Sytry, who was starting to take advantage of the situation, was violently blown away by Lucia’s Wind Magic and rolled over. It was a fierce tsukkomi even though it was between two childhood friends.

Sytry…… You gave everyone a peace sign, huh. What did you do and how much did you earn?

When I swallowed various thoughts, I called out to Anthem who was sitting beside me.

“So my only ally is Anthem, huh…… Although, you are not trying to stop Sytry or Liz.” (Cry)

“……………………………… Umu.” (Anthem)

It shouldn’t be Umu, it should be Um………………

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

I wonder how much Sytry got for her to be so happy.

And Lucia doesn’t want Kryhi’s staff because she doesn’t want to hit her dear Nii-chan with lightning XD
