The Demon King's Daughter is the World's Strongest but a Shut-In! ~Shut Herself in an Aban

Punigami. Punyobaron. Puniqueen.

These three showed the strength out of one head from the other slime and drew attention that they were the winning candidates.

"I know punyo barons and punyqueens, but you don't know punygami"

"Master girl, you're adorable. I've never seen it before, but I wonder where it came from."

I hear such talk from all over the venue.

Iris is embarrassed, so he hid behind Marion all the time when he didn't have his own game.

Eventually the semifinals.

Nearly sixty participants were narrowed down to four.

Iris and Punigami are normal opponents with nothing to highlight.

Even looking at previous games, I can tell it's a mediocre slime.

And Cindy and Punyobaron's opponents, naturally, are Emily and Puniqueen.

Iris was asked to defeat Puniqueen.

But Cindy decides it's best to make it out of her own hands.

"Emily. Glad to bump into you!

"Yes, I don't feel anything."

"... I guess. There was no slime in this town that could frighten you. Your Puni Queen is still the strongest, even when slime gathers all over the world once a year like this. But me and Pugnobaron have been working hard this past year! I won't let you say I don't feel anything! In this battle, I deliver my thoughts!

Cindy's words were so hot that her chest trembled just listening in the guest seat.

Even so, Emily's expression remains cold.

The ice doesn't melt.

Its temperature difference makes it seem like the air on the ring is distorted.

"Slime sumo, semi-finals! Rayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

The game begins with a heated signal from the referee.

Normally, here the two slimes bump into each other from the front with a gutter.

No matter what happens after that, we all thought it was the opening of the slime sumo.

But Pugnobaron doesn't move.

The reason is simple.

There's no way you can beat Puniqueen by hitting him from the front.

And Puniqueen also doesn't set it up from herself because she knows she's an absolute king.

Give the challenger a head start and pay back.

Puniqueen has fought that way since World War I.

"What's the matter, Cindy? You're gonna tell me something, aren't you? No matter how long you wait, you won't create a gap in my punny queen."

"… right. Yeah, I know. I know how strong Puniqueen is. But!"

At that time.

From the slice of cloud behind Cindy, the sunlight stabbed her.

To the sudden intense rays, Emily narrows her eyes.

No.

Even in the light of the sun, it was too strong.

"No way!"

"It's too late!

The attack had already begun when Emily realized who she was.

There is no doubt that the sun appeared from the slices of clouds.

And Pugnobaron timed it to create a fireball over his head.

Emily and Puniqueen, who mistakenly identify that fireball as the sun's eyelid, will be delayed in their reaction.

Direct hit, explosion flames spread.

The heat spreads across the ring, approaching the guest seat -.

"We decided that the immediate attack would cause damage outside the ring, and let us put up a defensive junction. Please feel free to continue watching the game."

The voice of the referee is elusive.

The boulder is an annual competition.

They were keeping the sorcerer waiting, assuming these things too.

Marion quickly put up a defensive junction, and he was about to stand out.

"... I see. I'm sure that was a surprise. I have to correct you for saying that there are no gaps in the Puni Queen. Although."

The explosion will fit and the ring will also be visible from the guest seat.

There, the same sight was spreading just now.

Punyobaron and Puniqueen stare at each other and Cindy and Emily stand.

Yes. Nothing changes.

Even a direct hit from the fireball was impossible to do damage to the Puniqueen.

"Kuh... I can't believe it's intact..."

"Right. It's intact. Indeed, Pugnobaron is stronger than he was last year. Even the current method of warfare is a big deal. I'll tell you what you've worked so hard for. I received your enthusiasm. But still, Puniqueen is intact. You know what I mean? Me and Puniqueen aren't trying. This is how I still keep slime sumo, because if I keep staying at the champion, it will be advertising my parents' house. Because a guest comes to the dining room and your father and mother are happy. That's all. Thank you, Cindy. You are a dear friend. But my heart doesn't fill. No more wasted effort for me, because I don't have to."

Emily's words were never won.

There is no joy of victory.

There is no disdain for the loser either.

Just empty.

Empty eyes and voice pour on Cindy.

Cindy's thoughts have arrived. I can't bury my heart on it.

That's what they said.

This is harder than being ignored.

"Psst, don't be ridiculous! There is no such thing as a wasted effort in this world! If we don't give up, one day, I'm sure it will bear fruit in some way! Even if that is not the first goal, the effort will not be in vain! Pugnobaron, it's a body hit!

"Pussy!

Pugnobaron recklessly goes straight from the front to the puniqueen.

The defeat is confirmed more than an unintentional fireball could pass.

Without miracles happening around your body, the punyo baron is bounced back, naturally, outside the ring.

"Winner, Puniqueen!

Declaration of Judgment.

The battle between Cindy and Pugnobaron is over.

Yet Cindy's eyes had a flame.

Stared straight in its eyes, Emily shows a slight upset for the first time.

"... what kind of face is that?"

"We lost. But our seriousness would have been conveyed. to you. And also to Mr. Iris and Mr. Punigami. Our thoughts will surely be taken over by the two of us. Our efforts for the year should not be in vain!

"I don't know what that means. No, let me spare you your hard work and say this to you. I look forward to the finals you have entrusted your thoughts with."

Emily leaves the ring with Puniqueen.

That's when she saw Iris only for a moment.

Expected eyes - not.

I'll look forward to it, what can I say. The dust doesn't have that kind of emotion either.

"... Punigami. Did you see his eyes now?

"Puppy!"

"... poor thing. I can't believe you can't believe you've made me friends so far. And I'm pissed. He's insulting me about Punigami! I will definitely win, Punigami!

"Puffy!

Iris and Punigami regained their temper.

Muriel, who was lying there, said, "Since when did you become such a bloodthirsty character?" and makes me wonder.

One day, they will be!

I took over Cindy's thoughts!
