The Strongest Fairy

Chapter 53 Quarter Finals ② Fairy Disappearance

「Hi there, young lady.」

「Who?」

Arena who was eagerly supporting La Veil from the audience seat was approached by an unknown man who started a conversation. It was a young man, with black hair and black eyes that resembled someone. However, because he greeted her with a smile, Arena decided to respond.

「Hai?」

「You see, I would like to confirm something, do you belong to the party 『Fairy's Banquet』?」

「Un, that's right!」

「Actually, I was asked to call out to you by Aidle. If it doesn't bother you, I would be really saved if we moved to that waiting area right now.」

Then Arena slapped the approaching hand and said a single word after looking as if she was thinking for a bit.

「Yadda!!」[TL:Nope!!]

「Eh?」

What Arena did was confirming things with Aidle through 『Synchronization』. Arena was instructed to escape from that place immediately, but Arena stubbornly refused to leave.

「I see, I won't let you escape, so for now just sleep for a bit.」

Hino drove a punch towards Arena which she tried to parry, but with the effect of his Holy Sword, Arena got knocked out. Then by using concealment skills, he faded from the audience without being noticed. Hino walked away from that place without any problems.[ED: An effect good for a professional kidnapper? What a great hero.]

That is without realising that someone else already noticed his existence.

◇――――――――――――――――

『Arena!! Arena!!!!』

She refused when I told her to escape. I was monitoring the man that was in Arena's vision as we were 『Synchronized』, but the connection got cut off, probably when Arena fainted.

The fact that the synchronization got cut off means that she probably lost consciousness or was brought to a distant or hidden location. However, because the synchronization area for the two of us can cover even the entire country, the latter idea would be out so the former one is to be considered.

『La Veil!! Can you synchronize with Arena!?』

『What is it, why ask all of a sudden, I can of course... but, eh? Why is Arena moving away while unconscious?』

Alright, the link between Arena and La Veil is much stronger because of the contract. With this we can easily track her.

『Can you tell the current place where Arena is?』

『Let's see... this is... outside the stadium... Ehhh, no way, could it be...』

『...Yeah, they've done it...』

The opponent was probably concealed in some way that makes others not notice him while carrying the fainted Arena. That was probably another Hero judging from the color of his hair and eyes. I did not expect that they would move in such a way though.

『What we need right now is information, Arena is still alive right?』

I asked La Veil to check, then she confirmed it while groaning.

『That's how it is huh... I wonder what their aim is since they decided to leave this place. Maybe they are trying to hide something. Where they that scared...』

『La Veil. I have confirmed that the opponent this time is a Hero, but which of us should go and rescue Arena? As we are both participating in this tournament, we can't move flashily... You understand that right?』
