Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?

- 10, 9, 8, 7, 6!

The arena of the Tokyo Dome. At the starting point of the race, the man who took the stage counts down.

The ten large screens behind him showed even more split footage of the race participants.

While most participants are stuck on the ground as if they had given up, the group of adventurers who are here are focused on the third labyrinth.

The lord of the special labyrinth at the last gate has already been defeated by the Operations staff with the rewards of the mission.

Therefore, if you reach the goal, you will be the goal.

The countdown proceeds relentlessly while using the gate of the Kiyodo Shrine as the current gate.

And-.

3, 2-1! Time Up! Race End ~!

All participants' card gear sounds an alarm at the same time.

A group of adventurers falling from their knees.

Thus, the first Catfight Battle Royale race ended.

"--Yeah, I did confirm the transfer."

Then, the contract at the time of the race will expire.

After exchanging the prize with the stars, I was meeting Tanaka-san at a coffee shop near Tokyo Dome, about the man with an eagle's nose.

The aim, of course, is to pay for the stars during the race.

"Thank you, thank you very much." Now we can compensate the other members who have the cards. "

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"But if you think about it carefully, it's amazing."After all, high school students are going to pay 100 million yen with their p * ssy. "

I scratched my cheek with "ahhhh..." at Tanaka-san who said something like that.

"Well, I don't really feel it."I'll use it for cards and magic tools from the earned end, so I'll say from right to left... "

"I see... it's true that adventurers have money to enter and big money to come out from."

"That's right." Even if I said a lot of money, I didn't have to come all the way from the area that exceeded 10 million..... "

"Ah ~ I was like that in the beginning."Well, since I learned how to use the money, I can feel it... but in your case, I'm still a high school student. "

How do you spend your money?

Tanaka scratched her head shyly as I asked.

"Yeah, well, it's like having a big night out at the store, or sending a girl an expensive gift... that's what I'm saying."

"Ahh..."

It's not a very good way to spend money, "he bitterly smiles.

"Well, I guess I can't do that for a while... but I've also lost the Harmeln whistle."

"Harmeln's whistle, is that it..."

"Oh, it was a monkey I once got when I met an irregular encounterer."It was a magical tool that could be used all you wanted.The power of that magic tool was even greater when I became a three-star.It's like the team members were gathered for the Hameln whistle.... "

So Tanaka sipped her iced coffee all at once and put it on the table somewhat roughly.

"But I met that irregular encountered again in this race."Hermeln's whistle was also confiscated.I guess it was judged to be different..... "

Is it confiscation?

"Ah... I was in a card state during the battle, but I lost my strength when I tried to use it after saving my life."Now it's just a whistle.... "

... the Harmeln whistling man's glasses didn't suit him, so even if he survived, the drop item would lose its effect.

I had never heard of a non-consumable magic tool suddenly losing its effectiveness.Irregular Encounters are still somewhat different than the drop items.

Maybe it's better not to rely too much on the flute of Hermeln... but the power of this flute is already sitting at the heart of my strategy.

I can't let go of this flute now.

I knew it was dangerous, but I couldn't let go of it... it was a magic tool.

"I lost the cards I received from my team members, I lost the flute of Harmeln, and my team was disbanded..."All that's left is a spare D-rank card.The rank remains three stars, but it's like falling to two stars. "

"It's a tragic story..."

I can't take sympathy for him because he was a normal unlucky story rather than a bad one.

Well, I encountered an irregular encountered in the D-rank labyrinth, and I could say that I was only alive.

If you still have D-rank cards, you'll have eyes to revive, and you'll earn enough money to live normally.

... if you're willing to continue your adventurer, I'll tell you about it.

Well, I'll be going now.

Yes, one day again.

Yeah.

When I saw off Mr. Tanaka while sitting in my seat, I immediately took out my smartphone and called the next person.

Yes, it's far field.

"Oh, it's Kitagawa. We're done here."

Roger that. I'll be on my way.I think I'll be there in about fifteen minutes. "

Yes, I'll be waiting for you.

"Fifteen minutes..." "Can I get you a cup of tea?" said the waitress.

"Excuse me, can I get you a cup of tea?"

"Yes, I understand." Would you like to order anything else? ”

Yeah.

When I said that.

Oyster Tart!

and Lotus's voice suddenly echoed in her mind.

What, all of a sudden?

Ask me for a tart of mackerel, it's for a limited time only!

No, even if you ask me, you won't be able to eat it.

”That's just a pretend you're eating it, isn't it?Hmm? Please... for the rest of my life.I've wanted to eat it ever since I entered this shop, but I've been patient with that eel nose for so long! ”

How many times in your life?

I am saying that.

"Oh, I'm sorry. One of the tarts of the oyster."

I was very vulnerable to Lotus' begging.

Then, when I pretended to eat tart and fed Lotus with "ahn", Tono-san appeared at the entrance in about 15 minutes.

When I waved my hand and informed him of my existence, Mr. Tono came to me with a smile on his face.

"Nah, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."Thank you for making time today. ”

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry

I bowed my head to Tono-san, who had a more polite attitude than usual.

"Well, first of all, Kitagawa-san." Congratulations on winning the race. ”

”Ahh, ahaha... thank you”

"Oh no, that was awesome. I can't believe you're scoring a goal in a day..."

“I was just lucky.Maybe we can't do it again. "

"Have another good day of humility. By the way, for the prize, do you still want the kimaris?"

Yeah, well, it was just the eye-catcher.

"Oh, thank goodness.... Actually, I called you today about this Kimaris."

Oops, you're on to business now.

With a clear expression and a serious atmosphere, Tono-san corrected his attitude.

In fact, some people said they really wanted Kitagawa-san's Kimaris.

"Are you looking for Kimaris..."

I took a pose to think with my arms crossed.

After all, that's what I wanted to do.

I was expecting to see you as soon as the tournament was over...

But Kimaris... Honestly, I don't want to let go.

Did you read my heart? Tono-san takes the binder out of his bag and says.

"For now, I have prepared a card that Kitagawa-san would want."I don't know, seeing this list and then deciding..... "

"... I will take a look at it."

"I don't feel like it, but it's rude to say no without even looking at it..."I've been taking care of Tono-san a lot.

When I saw the list, I opened my eyes in surprise.

These...... are all cards with a market price that exceeds the Kimaris.

There are more than three billion things and more rare cards than rarely available on the market...

Having brought in the trade from the other side, I was expecting a slightly more valuable card than Kimaris itself... but this was more than I expected.

What do you say? I think we've got something you'll be happy with in exchange for Kimaris.

"That's for sure... this is it."But isn't this a deficit? "

The average market price of kimaris is around 1.5 billion yen.Rarely more than 1.8 billion.Whichever one of these lists you pick, it's definitely a deficit.

"No, no, this is the (...) Kimaris value."

I tilted my neck to the way Tono-san said it, feeling like I was holding something.

And say that?

"In other words... Kitagawa-san has also become an adventurer with a premier card."

Oh, I see... that's what I'm saying. Premier, I guess.

Cards used by popular gladiators in actual matches are often worth significantly more than the market price.

The added value depends heavily on the athlete's popularity and usage, but if it is a card representing the athlete or the winning prize of some competition, it may sometimes even be worth ten times the market price.

"Although Kitagawa-san is an amateur class, he is an up-and-coming adventurer who is sure to enter the professional world.We have already made great achievements such as the discovery of spiritual recursion and the arrest of heinous criminals, and we have also proved our strength and growth in this race.Even in Moncoro, the number of matches is small, but they have won all the matches.In addition, it is also a philosophy of naming cards, so it is difficult for the card to go to the market... and the premier elements of the card are enough. "

Tono-san praises me for that, but in fact, this Kimaris is the real prize of the first Moncolo race, rather than my own premiere.

Anna's donation of the full amount of the houndstooth prize may have had some effect, but it shouldn't be too much of a favorite for me in the amateur class.

Well, I was hoping that I would become a professional and make some kind of investment in the future.

"So, what do you say?" Do you have any cards you like? ”

"Yes, that's right... for now, these two seem to bother you."

That said, I pointed to two cards: a goddess wearing an ancient Greek-style dress with a bow, and a female warrior wearing a wolf's fur on her head.

A wonderful old woman with long, glossy, golden hair and a mature, full body, riding on a silver carriage.

A beautiful girl with a sharp expression whose facial beauty can be seen by her healthy and forged body and the fur on her face hiding the upper half of her face.

Serene, goddess of the Greek Moon, and Berserk, warrior of Nordic mythology.
