45 - My Cute Snorlax

The fourth of July had finally come, marking the fourth day of the x792 Grand Magic Games. Because of my role as today's guest commentator, Sting, Lector, and I had woken up extra early to stop by the guild for some light breakfast before heading over to the Domus Flau to attend the annual festival.

"Nervous?" Sting asked as he noticed my tenseness.

"Mm... I feel like hyperventilating right now," I tried doing some breathing exercises to calm myself down to no avail. A low chuckle escaped Sting's lips as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder, nuzzling his face against the top of my head for comfort.

"You'll do great. You don't really have to say much anyways; not many of the other guest commentators talk that much when they're here."

"Yeah, I'll try my best."

"I'll walk with you to the arena," His fingers intertwined with mine and he led me over to where the other two commentators were already waiting.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting," I apologized to the two men as we approached them.

"Not at all, Ms. Levina. We just got here ourselves. I'm Chapati Lola, the emcee for this year's Games again. I look forward to working with you today," the man bowed politely.

"Same here," Mr. Yajima added.

"Likewise, I look forward to a successful day today," I returned the bow.

"I'll be going now. I'll see you after the Games," Sting gave me a quick peck on the cheek before returning to the audience with Lector, waving the entire way until he was out of sight.

"It looks like your relationship is still as good as ever," Mr. Chapati noted.

"Yes, it is," I smiled, not really sure how to respond to that statement.

"I still remember what happened during the final day of last year's Games. It almost looked like a scene out of a drama or fairy tale," he chuckled.

"Ah, yes..." Heat began rising to my cheeks at the reminder of what happened last year. Although we were all really emotional and not thinking straight, it's really embarrassing that everything that happened was basically shown live on national broadcast; if I had realized it before, I don't think I would've said or done half of the things I did. Well, too late for that now... I let out a quiet sigh at the thought.

"It's a shame that none of the guilds from last year are joining, but I still look forward to seeing what battles will be shown today," Mr. Yajima said.

"Likewise."

"Well then, shall we head over to the arena? The Games are about to start." The three of us entered the commentators' stand and took our seats, earning ourselves a loud applause.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the fourth day of the x792 Grand Magic Games! Once again, I am your emcee, Chapati Lola, and beside me is our regular commentator, Mr. Yajima. As for today's special commentator, from the all time favorite guild, Sabertooth, please welcome the Fairy Princess herself: Levina Dreyar!" Cheers and whistles erupted from the audience at our introductions. My lips tugged into the most believable forced smile I could possibly make as I gave the audience a little wave, earning myself more claps and cheers. "Ms. Levina, it's a pleasure to have you here with us today."

"Thank you. It is an honor for me to be here today," I smiled.

"Man~ Time really does fly, doesn't it? I still remember your spectacular performances during the Games four years ago, and now you're sitting here with us as a guest commentator."
