The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

38 – 038. The retreat is blocked

Through radio wave magic, I even asked Rin to register me.

Thinking that they might have to fight me, Rin stopped me, but I couldn’t give up.

After explaining in detail that there was a magic sword in the Colosseum and that it had to be retrieved, Rin finally convinced.

Not only that, but he also set out to find out for himself.

I came to the weapon store leaving the information about the magic sword to reliable Rin.

[Contractor, why did you come to such a quaint place?]

‘If you came to the weapon shop, you came to see the weapons, of course.’

[Oh, why! All you need is this body… !]

‘Can’t use you in the arena? The moment it is discovered that it is a magic sword, not only is it forfeited, but it also causes problems socially. If you don’t like it, you can just give up collecting the magic sword.’

[Hmm… !]

Frach began to think seriously.

Is the retrieval of the magic sword the priority, or is your pride the priority?

The demonic sword, which was conflicting between them, finally came to a conclusion.

[i get it. I will close my eyes to the contractor’s flirtation for once. Instead, at least the sword I used before meeting this body… !]

‘Unfortunately, I will save my sword until the end. In the beginning, I plan to lower my rating by using a weapon I don’t usually use.’

[Why do you want to do that?]

‘Yeah, of course… … It’s for the money!’

The biggest reason Lebron is designated as a city of pleasure is the long tradition of the Colosseum, gladiatorial gambling.

You wager money on gladiators and have them fight, and the winner takes the money.

I was thinking of making a fortune using gladiatorial gambling.

[…] … grubber.]

It’s a technique often used by main characters who come to another world, but I can’t help but use it.

As it is a development of national rules, I plan to take care of it sweetly.

I was thinking of lowering my expectations as much as possible by deliberately making a fight.

My dividend rate will naturally increase, and in the meantime, I intend to hand over the capital and plans to Lewen in advance so that he can go all-in with me.

Then I will drive a golden carriage when I come out of this town.

A situation that makes you laugh.

It was when I picked up a shabby-looking spear to put my plan into action.

“Sir! I finished all registrations and returned!”

Rin, who finished registering for participation, burst open the door of the weapon store and entered.

“I went through the teacher’s procedures perfectly!”

“great job.”

“We even planted anticipation for the teacher in the audience! He said that this time, the Colosseum’s champion seat might be taken by the teacher!”

“… … what?”

“Everyone didn’t believe it at first, but after my passionate speech, everyone seemed to believe it to some extent! Now, the cheers of the audience will be entirely up to you!”

I returned the spear I was holding to its original position. Then, he quietly left the store.

My billionaire dream ended just like that.

As I was lowering my head in dejection, someone suddenly put a hand on my shoulder.

Are you the one who wants to comfort me?

Looking back, the owner of a weapon store was there. He has been selling the spear, saying that since he touched it, he must buy it unconditionally.

f*ck… … .

***

The Colosseum, located in the center of Lebron, was similar in form to Roman architecture.

However, the Colosseum in Lebron was clean from the outside and the scale was larger than that in Rome.

I heard that it was renovated and built larger to accommodate more spectators.

As a result, even King Holden often saw gladiator fights, and Lebron became much more prosperous than before.

“It is more impressive to see it from the inside than from the outside. Just look at the number of spectators huddled together right now.”

“I heard that it can accommodate up to 130,000 people.”

Twice the number of spectators that the Seoul World Cup Stadium can accommodate was a size that could attract more inside.

How would the gladiators feel about the bloody battle in this magnificent space?

Even though it was still a long way until the opening, I was already starting to get nervous.

Sensing my slight tremors, Rin smiled and held my hand tightly.

“You don’t have to be nervous. When the match starts, all you see is the enemy.”

“okay?”

“yes. It’s only before and after the match that you become conscious of the crowd. So you don’t have to worry about it already.”

“Then it’s fortunate… … .”

Verne’s body was sensitive to the gaze of others, as much as it had good senses.

During the game, when hundreds of thousands of spectators here all looked at me in unison, I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to act normally.

The disadvantages of this body were not the only ones.

When the battle started, he was only looking at the opponent’s neck, so he had to fight with his gaze half-fixed.

Verne’s f*cking neck fetish also added to her share of insecurities.

“Your teacher is also nervous about this.”

“Because I am also a human being. It can’t always be perfect.”

[The contractors I’ve seen were far from the word perfect… … .]

‘Sharab.’

[Wow!]

I flicked my fingers and tapped the handle of the Frach dozens of times.

After a moaning passed, it was only then that my mind became clear.

Prach is a mask because he has many useless warriors.

“By the way, where are Renee and Rewen? I haven’t seen it since before.”

“Lwen said she was sleepy and said that she would go to the inn first with Rene-sama’s help.”

“Is it still broad daylight?”

“Don’t they say that children who are growing up tend to sleep a lot? Naps are natural.”

The problem is that the soul inside the body is not a child.

However, Lewen told me not to reveal his return to anyone, so I quietly nodded my head.

I hope he isn’t up to something weird.

“It seems to be starting sooner than that.”

A lightly dressed man walked out of the center of the arena.

Just by looking at his appearance, you could tell he wasn’t a fighter, but he was the host of the arena.

Amidst the roar of the crowd, the man shouted loudly as he raised his staff with amplification magic.

“ladies and gentlemen! Long wait! From now on, the 6974th Revlon Gladiator Fighting Tournament begins!”

“I was waiting for you! sh*t!”

“Let’s go!”

“Today, too, I’m all-in for reverse doubles!”

In line with the host’s shouts, the audience’s reaction became even more intense.

He was screaming so much that he wanted to see the gladiator fight soon enough to make his eardrums choke.

“Today, the support of the audience is hot! All right, then let’s start the game right away after introducing today’s VIP!”

“Whenever a gladiatorial tournament in Lebron is held according to the king’s order, at least one nobleman is required to attend. So, the organizers take time to introduce the distinguished guests who filled the seats at the opening ceremony.”

“It’s a strange tradition.”

“That’s how the royal family and nobles express their interest in the entertainment of the people.”

“I see.”

In modern times, would it be like a president or a member of the National Assembly going to the market to shop?

Since it was called play, we might have to see it as going to an internet cafe or karaoke rather than a market.

Thinking like that made me laugh a little.

“The VIP who will brighten up this event today is… ! This is Charlotte, the princess knight of the Holden Kingdom!”

“……ok?”

iron-! iron-!

The dull sound of combat boots drew all the spectators’ attention to the center.

A knight walking straight to the place where the moderator is.

He took off the helmet that was covering his face as the host handed him a staff.

A blonde beauty emerged from under the helmet.

“Since the people gathered here are looking forward to the game, let’s finish it informally. I, the gladiator who shined the most in this tournament today, will be the groom candidate for Holden Charlotte!”

“““WOW!!”””

The condition that the princess put out loud was gaining tremendous support from the audience.

It was said that even commoners who were not nobles would be given a chance to rise in status at once.

Not only the spectators but also the gladiators in the waiting room began to cheer wildly.

On the other hand, I fell into the trouble of a lifetime.

‘Prah.’

[What on earth is it that you are shaking so much?]

‘To retrieve the magic sword, I have to aim for the championship, but if I win, I might die in the princess’ bedroom.’

[I’m not sure why the situation is so extreme, but it’s a very difficult alternative.]

‘So, I wonder if it would be better to abstain cleanly and pray for Rin to win the championship… … .’

[If the contractor wants to do that, I won’t stop it, but unfortunately it seems to be a step too late.]

jump!

Before I could ask Prach why, someone opened the door to the waiting room and came in.

A white-haired old knight with a scar over one eye. As soon as I saw his appearance, there was a person who immediately came to mind.

It was Julius Randol, the leader of the Garden Knights led by Princess Charlotte.

“I inform the gladiators here! As you have heard, today’s fighting contest was made brighter by the dignified Charlotte, promising a grand reward! So I hope you all do your best!”

“““WOOOOOOO!!”””

“By the way, if there is such a dishonorable person who abstains unseemly or spoils the match, I will behead you on the spot, so be prepared!”

“Ah, could there be a guy like that?”

“cancer! A man is still good even if he dies!”

“Real man special! Never give up!”

Sadly, the remaining retreat of abstention was blocked.

Why is the princess coming out here… … !
