I didn't know how to talk to her at first, so I answered as soon as I could and pretended to open my pouch.
Then another awkward silence passed by. Oh gosh.
Certainly, there was a huge difference between knowing the content in your head and actually saying it.
If I didn't know the end of this game, I would probably run out of the audience early in the middle of the first half or get confused like a supporting role commonly described in each such scene.
I didn't know that in the common games of my previous life, the things that used to be described were such scary creatures.
"......Especially when the troll came out, I was so nervous that it was going to go wrong."
I didn't know what was more surprising after spending a few days with monsters in the frost forest and meeting the dragon, the one at the top, but the monsters jumping around the stadium today were different from what I'd encountered so far.
Even though it was ferocious, it felt so different from those who were reminiscent of wild animals in many ways.
Maybe that was why I was glad.
"I understand, but you don't have to worry too much. The year Izek won in the past was much scarier."
"Oh..."
"It's not an exaggeration to say that it's getting easier."
I see. So this was what getting easier meant.
It was doubtful whether half of the candidates who played today were alive.
I was starting to get confused whether the humans here were weird or just me.
Anyway, the situation still looked awkward, but I was grateful for the calmness.
I could feel her glancing at me through the mirror while smiling and pretending to apply the rough alongside.
She seemed to be hesitating.
Was she doubting that I threw up again? I didn't know if she paid attention now, but...
"Is there anything else going on?"
Sure enough.
"Ah... nothing that big of a deal..."
"......Oh, so it's nothing."
Taking back her sudden question, Ellenia shook her head as if she were regretting right away, and no longer said anything or looked at me.
So I, too, kept quiet until she left first with her pouch.

Dinner was hosted by Omerta Castle after the match.
It was nothing new because this was just as I had remembered, but Cesare staying at the duke's quarters made me so annoyed.
I didn't know why, but I felt like I was being invaded.
Would it have been a little different if Izek was here with me?
Suddenly, I wanted him to be here, but the candidates, who had made it till the second half, would have been resting as if they were dead at Angvan by now.
It was ironic that Cesare was here and Izek was in the palace.
"Oh, Ruby."
While returning to the dinner table with a smile, I almost paused while sitting down.
Oh my god. What kind of funny combination is this?
Let's say that the fact that Cesare is giving me a loving smile is absolutely abominable. I've been sitting next to him for a while.
