Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Mea and I spent about ten days preparing and traveling to the royal capital, Elkuxia .

We couldn’t get used to the urban atmosphere of the royal capital, and on the first day of our arrival in the city, I collapsed of man-sickness and Mea took care of me, so I bought a ticket for the combat tournament and decided to rest at the inn until the day of the tournament .

In the previous life, It would have been normal to ride a crowded train, but perhaps I’d been living in the elegant Marren countryside lifestyle for too long .

On the day of the combat tournament, I dragged my slightly ailing body to the arena with Mea .

At the reception desk of the arena, they were selling gambling tickets .

The tickets for the battle between Brian, Knight of the First Born Prince Alphonse, and Gaston, Knight of the Fourth Born Princess Charlotte, seemed to be the best-selling .

The multiplier was a whopping

” Gaston: 1 . 02x “

” Brian: 32 . 35x “

I didn’t expect Gaston to be so popular .

I was told that Brian was also a fairly famous knight, but he was a bit of a prideful man .

I was caught by the 32 times price tag and forgot the purpose of buying Brian’s ticket for about 50,000 gold .

If I won, it would be 1 . 6 million gold .

I remembered that I had come to help Gaston, and as I was looking at the tickets, scratching my head after cooling down, I was stared at by a Lomarn’s adventurer who was buying a lot of Gaston’s tickets, so I decided to leave as quickly as possible .

So far, so good, but by the time I reached the front row of the auditorium, I was wobbly with the onset of my usual man-sickness .

On either side, sweaty adventurers from the city of Lomarn were watching the opening ceremony with a twinkle in their eyes .

Gaston was the hero of the city of Lomarn .

There were plenty of Lomarn residents besides us who had splashed out a lot of money and come to the royal capital to watch .

At the end of the opening ceremony, there will be a battle between the Elite Guards Captain of the firstborn Prince Alphonse and Gaston, but honestly, I want to leave now .

“A-, are you alright, Abel?”

“I’ll somehow get through this……”

“You-, you’re face is turning blue! Can we go back to the inn now? You don’t have to work so hard for Gaston! Because that was totally deserved! S-So sorry! Step aside! Abel, Abel!”

Mea holds me by the shoulders and props me up and calls out to the people around me .

I grab the railing and somehow resist Mea’s attempts to take me out .

“It’s okay … really, it’s okay . I don’t want to go through a crowded street…… and also don’t shake me too much . I think I’m going to throw up . ”

“That’s not okay! That’s right, the teleportation spell could at least get you out of here for a bit, right? Let’s get out of here using that for now . Abel, Abel, can you hear me? You look really pale, you know!?”

To be honest, my consciousness is a bit on the verge of collapse, but I manage to hold on .

“Gaston! Gaston!”

I heard the Gastoncall begin and finally realized that the opening ceremony was over .

Looking at the center of the arena, I saw a frightened Gaston facing a large man with a thick neck that looked like a ravenous beast .

It was kind of like that kind of execution method altogether .

“Gaston! Gaston!”

Since there were so many adventurers from the city of Lomarn around me, I began to be enveloped by the Gastoncall all at once .

At first, while listening to the loudness of the call, my head was giving me a headache as I listened to the voices, and I was barely able to stand with Mea supporting me .

My vision was dazzling, probably due to the heightened level of man-sickness .

“Abel! Ge-, get a grip!”

But while I was in the midst of the excitement, I was slowly getting hotter and hotter in my chest, somehow influenced by my surroundings .

Strangely enough, it’s not uncomfortable . Rather, it’s pleasant and makes my head feel fuzzy .

“Gaston! Gaston!”

The nausea and headache quickly receded, leaving me with impaired judgment .

“Gaston! Gaston!”

I thought I could hear cheering from the immediate vicinity, and soon after, I realized that the voice was my own .

I was in a daze and in sync with my surroundings, arms raised in the air, cheering for Gaston .

This feels good .

Every time I shouted Gaston’s name, I felt scuffed .

A sensation that blows away the headache and discomfort and instead produces more and more narcotics in my brain .

It’s been creepy why everyone has been flattering Gaston like that, but after screaming it myself, I finally understand .

I had no idea how good it felt to let something so mighty dictate my thoughts, values, and decisions .

Maybe it’s just that, for once, I’m a little easy to be swept away by my surroundings .

“Gaston! Gaston!”

“A-Abel?”

“What’s up? Here, Mea should cheer too, quickly . Gaston-san is about to fight . ”

“Ga-, Gaston-san!? N, no, but……”

Mea begins to cringe nervously .

“Yes, yes, missy! You’re one of Lomarn’s adventurers too! Hurry up and cheer for Gaston-san!”

The adventurer standing beside me interrupted .

“…… Ga-, Gaston . ”

“You’re voice is too low!”

I say, and Mea’s mouth stiffens, as if she’s ready or desperate .

“Gaston!”

“Yes, that’s it! That’s the spirit! Gaston!”

“Gaston! Gaston!”

The game started and Gaston stumbled sluggishly and ran to the big man, Brian .

Watching him, I continued to call Gaston, feeling somewhat uncomfortable .

“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

At that moment, Brian let out a roar so loud it was hard to believe he was human .

Feeling the killing intent, I instinctively stood up and readied my staff .

Some of the adventurers around me had their hands on their sword sheaths, as did I, and some were tipped over .

After looking around at them, I finally calmed down .

“Ah, Gaston……”

Gaston, who had caught Brian’s roar from the front, was unconscious as he stood on his knees .

A trickle of water was dripping from the gap in his armor at his crotch .

He probably leaked from fear .

I knew it was completely too late .

I secretly tucked my wand into my pocket .

“Gaston! Gaston! Gaston…… isn’t that kind of weird?”

The Gastoncall in the surrounding changed into commotion with no unity .

“…… Abel, let’s go home . ”

Mea gently squeezed my hand .

“………… yeah, I guess so . ”

I faced towards Gaston, who stood unconscious imposingly, and gently cut a cross into the air .

“Forgive me, the spirits of our Marren ancestors”

“What’s wrong?”

“…… in my home town, most things are forgiven when you do this . ”

I and Mea quietly left the crowded auditorium, which was filled with groans .

Nothing good would come from staying here any longer . Let’s go home .

I don’t even feel like redeeming the 1 . 6 million gold vouchers I won for Brian’s victory at the receptionist . No, I’ll do it just in case .

I saw the other knight’s lord…… Prince Alphonse standing up from his seat with his arms raised in excitement and joy .

I looked at it and realized once again that the game was over .

I looked at Gaston one last time and noticed that Gaston’s opponent, Brian, was staring at me .

I checked behind me and didn’t find anything in particular .

I paid no further attention and began to walk quietly through the crowd to the arena’s reception area .

Prince Alphonse rejoicing at the sight of Gaston’s incontinence .
