"Umm... I don't care which but can any of those magical beasts fight with my magical beast? I want to see the power of those magical beasts!"

"Huh? Umm..."

While I was relaxing with everyone, suddenly someone called for me. I turned my head around to see a man in his mid twenties with glasses and green hair saying something like that to me out of nowhere.

Err... Who is he...?

"Aaah, sorry. I was watching your summoning and I'm a contractor of several magical beasts myself so... I'm certain your magical beasts are very strong so I really want to try fighting against your magical beast!"

"..... I will have to refuse. I had just summoned them, you know? Also, I can't agree to such a request out of the blue like that."

Aah... He was one of the spectators. I didn't know him because I had entrusted the guild to take care of the spectator list for me. But still, what was wrong with him? Saying something like that out of nowhere...

I planned on trying various things so I could see how Altair and the others could work well together during combat so when he suddenly said he wanted to try fighting with them...

I was annoyed with how haughty he was so I refused his request without any second thought.

".... Huuuh? You must be scared of losing, huh? The acclaimed leader of Luce out of all people is running away because he's scared of losing? I wonder what do you think other people will think of when they hear that?"

Maybe he didn't expect I'd refuse him flat out. The haughty smile he had on became stiff. Without even hiding his irritation, he started to provoke me again.

"Haah... For the sake of Ren-kun's honor, when you're telling other people about what happened today, please also add that even after Ren-kun refused, you are still trying to force him to have a match with you even though Ren-kun had just summoned his magical beasts, alright?"

"Ugh...."

I didn't know anything about being 'acclaimed' but Fer-san gave him a warning while sighing deeply. If a strange rumour was to circulate, it would be bad not only for me but for Luce's reputation as well. That was why...Of course we needed to argue back, right?

"Well with all of these witnesses, of course he can't lie about it"

"That's right~ All of the people coming to watch is definitely going to talk about today's summoning too~ You can't tell a lie when there's so many other witness like this~"

Sig-san and Chris-san said that. They were looking at him as if he was a fool for even thinking of spreading a lie about today's occurrence.

Ah... Things are going to get troublesome if I let him be...

"We can't have a match because you just summoned them, right? Then when can we do it?"

"Huh? Why are you talking as if Ren is going to have a match with you in the first place?"

Undeterred, he asked me again but Sig-san was quick to reply to him curtly. The vibe immediately turned sour. He and Sig-san quickly engaged in a battle of words. Both of them were proven to be quite strong-willed with their opinion.

『Hey, hey, Master? Why are we getting angry over such a guy like him? I can beat the crap out of him in one single blow if you let me, you know?』

『I'm down for it too.』
