Labyrinth Restaurant

Arena under construction.

I told you that place, which is being built on a rapid pitch in the outer periphery of a labyrinth city, would look like a Roman Colosseum if Lisa saw it with knowledge of the planet. It is a truly stunning building, albeit unfinished.

A circular arena is placed at the centre, with stair-style audience seats in such a way as to overlook it. The walls in the building, the ceilings, are delicately sculpted by artisans, and it seems as if the facility is a sophisticated cultural and artistic venue, often with a bloody and barbaric impression.

We are also fully equipped for safety measures, and the effects of the magic formations painted by Cosmos on the construction site before starting the work in earnest allow us to benefit from the effects of physical protection, pain relief and recovery just by being around here. Looking at its effects, do you think it has become popular these days as a walking course for the elderly in the city? Even with regard to the magic power that serves as the source of magic, the effect is expected to continue without having to do anything for the next decade or more because the Demon King has a charging magic that is not charging beforehand.

In addition to the effects of that magic formation, there will be no dead unless there is a mess, as recovery technicians and pharmacists will be stationed in the infirmary during the production of the event.

And this martial arts tournament is also subject to gambling.

With regard to the other two competitions, cooking and performing arts, they were removed from the subject of gambling as the evaluation criteria depended heavily on the judges' personal tastes. For that matter, on an economic scale, this place is expected to be the centre of the entire festival.

The audience has a mechanism that allows them to place bets, check odds, and order snacks and drinks without bothering to take their seats. This is a rumor, but do you have the ability to convert the customer's belongings into cash instantly or to sign up for debt on the spot so that you can continue betting even when you get cold and poor on a good occasion?

The same device will be installed in every part of the city during the tournament, and will allow you to watch the game in real time by means of a monitor that can show footage from remote locations.

Well, that's such a big arena, but today, just five minutes after the qualifying ceremony for the tournament began.

That was already beautifully refreshed and majestically smashed to the fullest of pleasures.

◆ ◆ ◆

About an hour before the arena was destroyed.

The athletes' room in the venue was full of players participating in today's qualifying round.

There were also a few heavy-duty warriors who seemed confident in their arms to see, fist artists with their entire bodies covered in scratches, and ordinary people who simply thought they had participated in the commemoration with memorabilia. Intimidated by a strong man who is seriously coming to win, the faces who compete in a light-hearted manner seem to be somewhere awkward.

One bump and a suspicious spell Macho monks, a full-body tattoo Macho with no extra muscle tresses over this period, a quietly meditating Macho old man, etc. "How do these people live their social lives?" There was a prominent figure in the modest room that turned into a nest of odd freaks who seemed to want to say, "but whose personalized faces as described earlier were sumptuous.

"Hey, the ceiling's low, well, why don't we sit down and wait"

Without the numerous gazes that can be directed at me, and without pre-game tension, I am relaxed by a big giant with a back length exceeding three meters and his whole body covered in rocky, not metaphorical, really rocky muscles. Yes, there was one Demon Army Four Heavenly Kings, the Gargalion of the 'Land'. I take the rice balls wrapped in my luggage and a water bottle with tea, etc. and relax at home as well.

The tournament had been informed in advance that the Demons would also participate, and few had experience dealing with the Demons who actually ran business in the morning city and elsewhere, but the apparent aura of the strong emitted by the Gargalion had overwhelmed the other participants just sitting quietly.

The participants, who are not confident in their arms, so much so that they decided to abstain simultaneously the moment they saw him at first sight. That, I would say, was a very wise decision given this aftermath.

So the killer who blew up the arena was Gargalion?

Half is correct.

The killer who broke the other half, it's a delicate line whether we can call him the killer, but there was another, no, another head involved in this case.

◆ ◆ ◆

'We will now begin the qualifying session. Participants are invited to enter through the entrance when their names are called. "

You will receive an announcement by the attendant Homunculus throughout the gallery and venue. Tension in the modest room also increased with no response.

The format of the qualifying round is Battle Royal.

There are so many participants that about twenty will fight each other at a time and the last three remaining will have the right to compete in the main battle. I planned to do that about five times a day, over five days.

Two days free after the last qualifying round, the main battle in the form of a one-on-one tournament will take place with the start of the festival just a week later. The audience enters and the betting begins at this time, only about the contestants and operational officials at qualifying time, and then the craftsmen who are finishing the interior.

"Preliminary Game I, of the contestants......"

From the athlete whose name was called in the announcement, you will step out of the depot in turn and head to the entrance. He behaves in a variety of ways, cheeks as if inspiring himself, skipping cancer to other athletes, being frightened by being skipped cancer.

"… Koza, Zacco, Gargarion…"

"Oh, from the first game"

Gargarion, whose name was called to the nineteenth, rushed into the remaining rice balls with tea, and set up its giant, but when it normally stood, it hit the ceiling, so he bent some body and left the armoury.

When he was gone, the intimidation that filled the modem room faded all at once, and the remaining contestants exhaled a ho and a relief. Nineteen out of twenty athletes had already been called by name, for the reassurance that they wouldn't have to fight that giant demon clan if they weren't so unlucky. In the subtly loose air, the name of the last player has been announced.

"The last of the first game...... is this the name? Is that your ring name? Well, come in through the Black Dragon King entrance."

◆ ◆ ◆

"Is there a Black Dragon King player? If you don't enter, you'll be undefeated."

'Um, do I have to go through the entrance? I'm too small to fit in.'

The voice of Homunculus, who makes announcements beside the stage, replied to the voice of a boy who, if he did it without darkness, was filled with majesty and intimidation, but somewhere seemed weak. The female homunculus hippopotamus, who works live, commentary, referee, and on-the-scenes announcement alone beside the stage, answered the question with discipline as she leaned her neck strangely toward the mysterious voice that arrived from nowhere.

"No, if you can come to the stage, you don't have to go through the entrance."

'Really, good. Then you're going down now.'

Along with that voice, the clouds above broke, from which came a single giant, specifically black dragon about fifty metres long. Yes, the Black Dragon King who makes me a friend of the Demon King and is the boss of an odd institution that makes dungeons in labyrinth cities (?). It's that Nori good dragon that Alice bummed me into before I went in to test the dungeon.

"No, no one remembers me just once..."

"For more information, please refer to volume II of the monograph, or 61 stories in the WEB edition."

A metaphorical commentary was entered by Hippopotamus, but unfortunately few were listening to the words.

"Oh, gentlemen, are you abstaining?

The majority of the players who were on stage fled with all their footsteps. It's in complete panic. The figure of a giant dragon swirling slowly over a spacious stage seemed to have excellent impact.

"Hmm, are the only players left with Gargalion and Black Dragon King? The policy already states that you both have earned the right to compete in the main battle, what do you want to do?

'Uh, what do we do?

"I came all the way out here, and I'm bored to go home like this."

two and one head left in a gallant arena often thought,

"Well, it's not too tight to drop the game from the first game, and you two are going to have an exhibition match, an exemplary match."

In the end, the proposal put out by the sunflower was adopted. I was.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Whoa, here's Black Dragon King's dragon brace. Oh, my God, the stone fighting table melted in a drool. The area directly hit seems to be evaporating at very high temperatures. '

In a strangely pale tone, but with an awesome battle telling the reality of the sunflower, the players in the modem nail the monitor.

"Here Gargalion, I put my hands on the stage and threw a rock mass over the sky wondering what a few dozen tons would be. But the Black Dragon King over there dodges this with brilliant manoeuvre '

He's the Black Dragon King who was previously bogged down by Alice, but that's because Alice fought with a bee without being able to read the air. In fact, he's pretty strong, too. He also has a good battle with the Gargalion of the Four Heavens.

"Oh, the Black Dragon King rose above once... using the momentum of his fall to storm the Gargalion players on the ground. The stage and half of the passenger seats are crushed, with craters in the center...... but the Gargalion players seem to be safe. Barely seems to have dodged the direct hit. '

Around here Hippopotamus moved away from the stage and began to guide the evacuation of artisans and modem players who were working in the arena. On the other hand, it also shows the mysterious professional guts of continuing the announcement while looking at a small monitor for your phone.

'Is this an illusion of the eye? Gargalion players look enormous.'

It wasn't an illusion. Gargalion can take in stones, metals, etc., and make it almost unlimited as long as it has time and materials. Usually it's about three metres back of the lower limit, but if you're serious about fighting, it's his style of combat to take advantage of mountain-like giants rather than metaphors. The power increases proportionally to the gigantisation and does not slow down. Only when his body was no less sized than that of the Black Dragon King. Moreover, its size is increasing even further.

'Whoa, here's both players, disappointed from the front combined into four. Would a slight gargalion player prevail in power? But the Black Dragon King player hasn't lost either. Every single piece of that scale changes into a small black dragon if you think the black scales all over your body have come off. Those countless black dragons bit all over their bodies and let go of the gargalionists. "

At this point the evacuation of personnel in the arena was complete and the sunflower and a large number of other people watched the trend of battle from the field off site. The supposed existential match that began with mere contemplation has presented the appearance of a mythical battle as if it were to shape the survival of the world.

"Oh, what's that?

Here's where the sunflower noticed the arena melting with drool. The Black Dragon King's dragon brace heat and being absorbed by the Gargalion have no longer fastened the prototype.

"You don't have to be over the screen to see this, it helps."

My paced hippopotamus to this issue, but Homunculus is not a wacko she is quietly freaking out before too many things because almost everyone has similar or nearby personalities. Let's not think about the possibility that all Homunculus are originally insane.

She continues her announcement with a disciplined microphone shaped demon prop.

'I'm building up both my powers. Apparently, we're going to the last fight.'

Both athletes usually have a personality that I can't feel either way talking, violent, etc., but it seems that the blood has been noisy for a long time in a serious battle and they have forgotten me.

The Black Dragon King surrounds the Gargalion with an even larger number of small black dragons to create a stash that simultaneously releases braces from all surroundings, while the opposing Gargalion also absorbs only a few remaining battlefield wreckages, besides taking them to the off-site ground while taking in a full blow.

"A moment of tension. Either way, you won't be safe. '

Aside from the two fighting, the impact of the clash has concentrated energy on both that could blow up the labyrinth city itself. Until earlier, the onslaught was filled with lies of serenity, and people watching the battle fainted or vomited because of tension, praying to God.

At this point, four minutes and fifty seconds have elapsed since the start of the match.

And the moment they both tried to unleash the strongest move they could have.

"What are you doing, you guys!!"

Perfect five minutes from the start of the game. Seriously (seriously) out of touch Alice froze them both in an instant and this match turned out to be a battle nashi

◆ ◆ ◆

One and one, trapped in a supermassive iceberg by Alice's genuine magic, will then be abandoned as the world's rarest giant and giant dragon ice statue monument for the duration of the tournament as punishment, naturally unable to compete in the main game, so they all fall preliminarily. The sunflower, which was at one end of the line with the cause, became a salary cut.

In addition, a sentence was added to the rules of the Games to the effect that "whoever wilfully damages a venue, whether intentional or not, shall be disqualified".

The arena was completely broken, so we were to rapidly prepare a new venue, but unfortunately it wasn't long enough for the boulder, which means it became something of an easier build to grade down than it was before it broke.

Oh, no congratulations, no congratulations.

It was a story about who wouldn't gain as one.
