Isekai Shoukan chapter 29: Cockscomb……I beat you up later

Though Edith guided us to the arena, she walked automatically in front of Tifal and me.

On the way to the arena, Tifal murmured “............I will kill you.” and aimed at Edith´s neck with her large sword that was about to swing down, but I rushed up and restrained Tifal.

......Indeed, it might be useless......

By the way the cockscombed man followed us for some reason. Other than that man there were other spectators, those who were quietly drinking sake in the back guild a little while ago also followed behind us.

Tifal was dissatisfied with me because I restrained her and she said “Hey why did you stop me? Why do you protect that woman? Hey, why? Why?” and while losing light in her eyes she came closer to me......of course she still have her large sword. Furthermore the sword faces to me.

To Tifal who was in the state to run out of control soon, I said an illogical and irrational remark temporarily to sooth her desperately. However, my hardship doesn't pay off and her state turned worse.

I make an excuse desperately while draining sweat slowly and the cockscombed man chuckles behind me.

.........I certainly will beat up that guy afterwards.

It was such a case when I was about to be completely in a helpless state. Fortunately, the place like an arena comes into view and I said. “Th, The arena!! Tifa look the arena!! Let's continue our talk later!!” so Tifal forgets our conversation and has her battle with Edith in her mind. A troublemaker was forced onto me in the future.

The arena is wide and can´t be described in one word. Its size was wider than the room I used when I was summoned by the Ragisis Kingdom and about 1000 people can enter with ease. There is also a place like a auditorium, and it was considerably fashionable.

And the scaffold of the arena is made of soil, therefore it was fixed on a level properly. The wall is concave here and there, because many sword and magic marks remain, but there is no sign that it will collapse. It probably was made with a special technique or something similar.

When Edith enters the arena, he grasped a curved long swords leaned on the entrance with both hands.

The sword she took in her hands is single-edged from the root to about ⅔ and the tip of the swords is double-edged and sharp.

She has such a strange sword with underhand durability and Edith excitedly looked at that sword.

“......Aa......when I hold this sword I can calm down......this feeling is unbearable......hmm? Is it the first time for you to see such a sword? It might be unusual? This sword is called Falcata.”

( TL note: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcata)

Because Edith looked at her sword in a way that Tifal was interested, she taught her the name of her rare sword.

I am not interested in this sword, however I asked the cockscombed man another thing about which I was a little anxious.

“Naa......Cockscomb. Doesn't elves use bows and magic?” Edith looked enchanted by the sword in front of me. Therefore her intention is to fight with this sword.

“Ha? Well, normally you´re right, but Edith-san isn't ordinary. Edith-san is an exception, an exception. Do you understand? My name......ah, I haven’t told you my name. Well, you can call me senpai or elder of the black guild.”

Does the expression of the cockscombed man respect me? He seemed to say it, as to help his kouhai. Therefore I, who felt annoyed of his attitude and wanted to beat him up a while ago stopped this thought and changed my mind to upgrade 5 times.

When time passed a little after we arrived, the curious spectators who came from our back arrived at the arena.

The onlookers are selfishly gambling how many seconds Tifal can endure Edith´s attack ‘5 seconds! 22 seconds!!’ and bet with money.

After the cockscombed man said so, he talked to me as if he forgot something important.

“Hey, newbie. Your companion lets Edith-san´s desire for battle boil up. If your companion can't move anymore, take responsibility neatly and keep Edith-san occupied, okay? Do you understand?”

The man with the cockscomb wrinkles the middle of his forehead and declared it while glancing.

I didn't fear his attitude at all, so shall I fear him so that he can save his face. Thinking about it is troublesome, hey hey, I answered him lightly.

“......Tifa can't lose to an opponent with that level......”

After I answered the cockscombed man lightly, I murmured something lightly so no one can hear it together with a displeased sigh.
