Following the qualifiers, the first day of the finals ended safely.
Gabil did his best. With indomitable spirit, he stood up over and over again, seeming like a wall that couldn’t be passed.
His figure left a deep impression, captivating the spectators.
Oh well, Souka secretly ignored Gabil’s attempts to give up no matter how many times he tried.
「Ooootto, what did you say? What? “I can still do it...... Don’t underestimate me?”
Contestant Gabil, what motivation! Such an unyielding man! He still hasn’t given up~!!」(Souka)
No matter how you look at it he already gave up, but his luck run out when Souka became the announcer.
After all, for a full hour, Ranga toyed with him[1].
Since the spectators didn’t know the circumstances, it seems that Gabil was remembered as an unyielding man.
I can’t decide whether that’s a good or bad thing.
However, I want to say that “I’m glad it’s not me!”
When the match ended, everyone returned to their respective inn.
I got up from my seat and started to walk away to invite Masayuki for a meal.
̀「Please wait a bit. I have something I want to ask.」 (Unknown)
There was a person who called me to halt.
It was the half elf girl from before.
With pale light blue silver hair and her jade eyes, she was a super bishoujo[2].
「Ah, so you are here! Ah!*surprised*, Rimuru-dono, it’s been a long time.」(Elalude)
Before I could reply to the girl, a person came and greeted me while panting. Did he come running? It was Duke Elalude.
「Ah! Duke, it’s been a long time. Are you well? And, is she your acquaintance?」(Rimuru)
She was a person the Duke was hurriedly looking for.......
Although I expected it, more or less let’s listen to his word*
「Ah! Allow me to introduce you.
This is Her Majesty, the Empress of the Sorcery Dynasty of Sarion, Elmeshia Elure Sarion.
Her Majesty, this is the person I told you about before, Demon Lord Rimuru-dono.」 (Elalude)
Pretty much, she was the ruler of the country who supported me. After he introduced the empress to me, he introduces me to her.
「Umu. I know. This one[3] is the Empress of the Sorcery Dynasty of Sarion, Elumeshia Elure Sarion.
I hope we will get along well.」(Elumeshia)
Although she a bishoujo, she emits a solemn aura.
I think she might have suppressed it before, but the person before me is without a doubt someone worthy of being called an Empress.
「Hello, I’m Rimuru, the King of Tempest. Please take care of me as well!
Since I’m ignorant with the etiquette of King, please pardon my rudeness.[4]」(Rimuru)
I introduce myself as well.
Oh dear, I sounded like an upstart Outlaw.[5]
I wish you would excuse me from such stiff formalities. How should I put it, since the empress came dressed as an adventurer, I want to think something like that should be fine.
