The Strongest Fairy

Chapter 43 To all of the Audience I'm Sorry

The next day came, and this time I allowed Arena to carry all of our funds to the stadium. Since I and La Veil are participants, we are currently in our waiting rooms. As you can expect, I ended up handing her all of our funds, I can't see myself losing that easily but if I do then all our funds would be wiped out. Well, I don't think that I will lose anytime soon though.

「Even if it's Master, I think you would have still have a hard time facing that hero」

「Is that so? By my judgment, the stats don't even reach up to La Veils standards you know? 」

「Well, you did mention that they have a Holy Sword skill right? It will be quite tough if that's the case. When a hero activates that, their stats would grow by ten times at minimum. Their swords also have enough power to damage dragons and could even damage ancient dragons heavily. Winning against them with their weapons activated will be quite tough」

As expected of a Hero. Having a skill that raises your stats 10x is definitely a cheat. Even if his current stats are in five digits, I wonder if it would be enough to go through this game? He also used an alias when he joined the tournament, but if such skills were used, won't that reveal their true identity to the king?

Ah, I am wondering if that hero was someone who collaborated in destroying the country of beastmen? I did hear news about a hero that came from the nation which summoned them will be performing a demonstration of skills. Just maybe, that might be the person that they invited to join the tournament. If it's a hero, just the name alone would give them great value.

「Well, never mind that. I will win against anyone. If it's for Arena!!」

「Seriously Master, you are just...」

Around that time, Arena was running towards the betting area reception desk of the tournament. That is in order to deliver the contents of the bag she was carrying. The reception window was crowded with ordinary guests, and Arena waited patiently as she queued in line, even if there were times when she was kind of squeezed, she managed to endure it till it was her turn.

「Hello there young lady, who will you be betting on?」

The receptionist smiled at her as she asked, Arena also smiled back and placed the bag she was carrying on the desk without hesitation.

「5000 Gold Coins, bet for Aidle~!!!」

[ED: Give her a discount, for cuteness!!!]

It became noisy.

The surrounding people were dumbstruck but after a while calmed down. On the other hand, the receptionist froze and wasn't able to reply. After some time the receptionist finally snapped back to reality. Countless gossips were going around among those in that place, before the receptionist could precisely count the amount presented.

「Um, cu, customer, are, are you sure about this?」

「Un! I'm serious!! Please hurry with the ticket!!」

The man in the reception who was hesitating grabbed the bag of gold and started counting loudly with the help of other staff member behind him. A few minutes later, they handed a ticket to Arena. It was a ticket imbued with magical effects. It also serves as proof that it was Arena who deposited the money. After receiving the ticket, she got out of that place immediately and disappeared into the crowd.

The receptionists and guests were still dumbstruck for quite some time after that. But because the tournament was about to start, the crowd immediately return to how it was although it was quite noisy with the chit-chat about what happened before.
