Chapter 954 The Last Routine 133
Kobayashi slammed his fist on the table and shouted, ignoring the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, "A city-wide spectacle, a serious contest of sweat and tears! No one will hurt each other... so hurry up and get ready!"
"Oh, oh...!" xN
Although they were still completely confused, they got to work under Xiaolin's urging and started preparing for the sports meet with drums and gongs.
the next day.
The adventurers of Axel Town all gathered at the town gate, where preparations had already begun, with a stadium resembling those from the previous life being set up.
Meanwhile, Luna, a guild employee, stood atop a wooden crate, raising a megaphone and shouting to the adventurers below: "The Axel Grand Games are about to begin! Everyone, are you dressed yet!?"
"Hey, why are you wearing a Halloween costume to exercise?" Aqua tugged at her Halloween costume, pouting and saying, "Don't we usually wear sportswear?"
"I don't know what a sports meet is. I just wanted to tell Roasted Sweet Potato that this sports meet is also part of Halloween." You Gou said this very naturally. At this moment, she was also dressed in a Halloween costume. She explained, "Even if it's not everyone, it's better if we dress up like this, right?"
"Otherwise, it will be seen as lacking depth, and Halloween will be canceled in the future..."
Youyou said this with some concern.
She was actually the one who most wanted Halloween to continue. After all, she had just made plans to play with Kobayashi and the others, but then the Sweet Potato Tyrant came and ruined everything. How could she possibly accept that?
At this time.
Standing atop the wooden crates, the guild leader addressed the assembled adventurers: "This event will be a competition between two teams! The team with the most wins will be the victor!"
Sudden--
"Isn't this interesting? Let's see the fight to the very end!"
The roasted sweet potato, watching from afar, was also shouting loudly with great interest, which made Xiaolin feel a bit of a headache, but also a bit relieved and relaxed.
It seems the roasted sweet potato tyrant has accepted it, so we can rest assured for now.
Seeing that the other party had accepted, Ms. Luna, the guild counter clerk, breathed a sigh of relief and then shouted loudly, "Now, let's move on to the contestant oath-taking ceremony! Mr. Kobayashi, representative of the White Team! Ms. Megumi, representative of the Red Team!"
Kobayashi and Huihui stepped to the front of the crowd, then solemnly picked up their megaphones and shouted, "Let's swear an oath! All of us contestants together!"
"—I swear to win this thrilling battle honorably!!!"
Huihui suddenly interrupted him, even shouting passionately, which startled Xiaolin, leaving him at a loss for what to do.
"Hey, Huihui...!?"
Xiaolin looked anxious and tried to salvage the situation. Normally, the motto is "friendship first, competition second," but her actions completely disrupted the normal flow of the sports meet. However, what no one expected was—
"Oh oh oh!!!"
"Take them down, White Team!"
"Red Team too! Those crazy girls from the Red Demon Clan, let them see your guts!!!"
The audience started shouting.
"Wow, the atmosphere is so lively!" Aqua looked at the enthusiastic audience with some surprise, and then released several flowery and romantic gestures. "In that case, I'll also try to liven things up!"
"Even the tyrant of roasted sweet potatoes would be satisfied with such a lively atmosphere."
Darkness nodded.
After all, their purpose in organizing the event was to please the Sweet Potato Tyrant; otherwise, why would they do such a thing? However, the high spirits of the adventurers participating in the competition are ultimately a good thing.
It can make the festival more lively.
Seeing the murderous adventurers, Youyou trembled with fear and groaned softly, "Waaah, I'm getting nervous... Can I do it...?"
"Hehe, don't worry." Yougou patted her shoulder and comforted her with a smile, "Huihui and I are on the same team as you, and we will support you. Don't worry."
Ok? ? ?
Aqua seemed to have noticed something and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, why isn't Megumin with us in the White Group?"
"Hmph, because I think this is a good opportunity," Huihui said with a hint of pride.
Darkness became even more curious.
"good chance?"
"—In this town, the Crimson Demon Clan is always said to be either a troublemaker or mentally unstable... In short, people always say whatever they want about them! So, I will show the Crimson Demon Clan's activity here and wash away their stigma! Let them be our stage... let them be our stepping stones!"
This guy is incredibly arrogant.
No wonder she dared to boast so confidently about winning the match with such passion; it turns out this little girl had a plan all along. However, she doesn't seem to realize one thing, which is—
"Do you know that the stigma was actually spread by Huihui herself...?"
Youyou gave a helpless twitch of her lips.
"You lot!!!" The Roasted Sweet Potato Tyrant was furious. It shouted, "Stop dawdling! The fight has begun, get started!!! If you keep dawdling, then—"
The roasted sweet potato tyrant kept spewing out hot air. It was hard to understand why this guy was in such a hurry, but his actions did startle the group who were still playing around.
"I-I understand!" Huihui couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, then shouted to the many adventurers, "Then everyone, let's start the first competition!"
Then I saw that it was almost time.
Standing on the wooden crate, Ms. Luna, a guild employee, announced the first competition item.
"Come on, the first activity is three-legged race! Let's work together seamlessly towards the goal! Ready... Go!!!"
The three members of the white team, Darkness, Aqua, and Kobayashi, lined up in order, chanting slogans as they marched toward the finish line.
Darkness said awkwardly, "This...it's much more difficult than I imagined! Tsk, isn't this a complete lack of progress...?"
The other three members of the red team were Yougou, Youyou, and Huihui. They also took advantage of the gap to move towards the finish line, but—
"Waaaaah...! If I don't take advantage of their delay and overtake them quickly...!"
"Huihui! Don't try to go on alone, you need to cooperate!"
Youyou shouted in a panic.
On the other side, the white team, including Xiaolin, didn't pay attention to their footing and fell to the ground one after another.
"Wow, wowaaaaahh ...
"Darkness, are you alright!? Can you stand up!?"
Aqua, who was in the middle, quickly got up and helped Darkness, who had fallen, asking her with concern.
"Ah, I'm fine." Darkness grabbed her hand, struggling to stand up as he awkwardly said, "But, I'm sorry..."
"We'll talk about it after we apologize." Kobayashi also quickly stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "No matter what, we must get to the finish line now."
However, Darkness suddenly cried out, "This will only get in your way! So please! Drag me away!"
I thought she was apologetic, but I didn't expect her to suddenly blush and say that, looking like she was looking forward to being dragged away.
Xiaolin twitched the corner of her mouth.
"...You seem to be very happy, then I won't stand on ceremony."
"Darkness, if you feel any pain, please tell me and I will treat you."
Aqua said that.
She decisively reached the same conclusion as Kobayashi. Since there was one less person, it would be very easy for them to keep pace. So the three of them quickly headed towards the finish line... Of course, Darkness was practically being dragged along.
"Aaaaaahh ...
On the commentary panel.
The guild counter clerk, Ms. Luna, shouted in a similarly panicked manner, "The White Team is dragging the fallen Darkness player along at breakneck speed... at breakneck speed...?"
"Waaaaah...! It's so heavy...!"
Kobayashi and Aqua were having some headaches.
Darkness quickly explained, "It wasn't me, it was the armor! It's all the armor's fault!!!"
The armor she wore was made of Adamantite steel, so it was incredibly heavy. Without Darkness exerting any effort, Kobayashi and Aqua were practically crawling forward while dragging a weight of several hundred kilograms.
"White Team, even in a chaotic battle, you still want to take the lead!?" Luna, the guild counter clerk, was impressed by their determination. She then looked to the other side, "And what about the Red Team? They're still fighting hard near the starting line!"
Although Kobayashi and the others were moving very slowly and with great effort, they were at least making progress. On the other hand, Youyou, Youyou, and Huihui were not making any progress at all.
"You two!" Youyou shouted, "Shout out a slogan to keep the rhythm! Come on, one two one two one two!"
"That's such a corny slogan, we might as well just lose!" Huihui was naturally unwilling to shout it like that, and instead said, "Come on, follow my slogan! Explode! Explode! Explode!"
"Hmm, that's not exactly cool either." He knew exactly how to make it sound like he had something to say. "How about this one? Contract! Abyss! Contract! Abyss!"
"Oh, this is it!!!"
Huihui shouted with shining eyes.
Yu-Yu couldn't stand these two's chuunibyou behavior any longer. With Kobayashi and the others about to reach the finish line, she shouted, "It doesn't matter, let's hurry up and go!"
"Contract! Abyss! Contract! Abyss!" x3
The three of them suddenly moved in unison and quickly chased after Kobayashi and the others.
"Just then," Luna, the guild counter clerk, exclaimed in surprise, "the Red Team caught up with us, shouting some mysterious slogan! But the White Team was already close to the finish line! And then—"
"Waaaaaahh ...
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Kobayashi and Aqua sprinted forward with all their might, while Darkness, being dragged along, groaned with a look of pure bliss. In this bizarre combination of positions, the three finally crossed the finish line.
"The White Team has reached the finish line!!! They have won the initial race!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh————" xN
The audience's cheers were enthusiastic and lively.
"...I see!" The Roasted Sweet Potato Tyrant nodded in satisfaction and said, "What a fierce battle! I love it!"
Even after the three-legged race, the Axel Games continued in full swing, with several events taking place. The white team and the red team were evenly matched, with each side winning and losing, making for an exceptionally fierce competition.
"The next match is a horse battle! The one who removes the opponent's scarf wins!"
"That's what Ms. Luna, the guild counter clerk, shouted."
Then Aqua quickly shouted, "Everyone, attack! Charge at the enemy with all your might!!"
“…I mean,” Kobayashi said, looking at the boisterous Aqua, “this girl has absolutely no brain for thinking about battle plans, does she?”
"Isn't this great? Don't overthink it, just go for it! With my good looks, I'm sure I can find a way!"
Duster, acting as another horse, is somewhat frustrating.
the other side.
Huihui shouted back, "I am the Red Team's top rider and the master of explosive magic! Try my soul-piercing strike!"
"Because you will be disqualified, you are prohibited from using Explosion Magic!"
Youyou shouted immediately.
After the horse battle, it's time for pitching.
"...But the White Team is making absolutely no progress. Why is that?"
Guild employee Luna looked puzzled. Then she saw Darkness standing in front of the pitching stick, struggling to prevent the ball from going into the net.
"Ouch, that hurts! Again, please!!!"
"Hey Darkness, don't get hit by the ball! Why is that guy playing the basket? And what's she doing blocking the way?"
Xiaolin said this with a headache on his face.
Aqua said helplessly, "Kobayashi, Darkness is finished. Let's give up this event and save our energy for the next competition!"
There is no choice but to do this.
the other side.
"It seems like they've already given up." Observing that Kobayashi and the others weren't throwing anymore, Yuugo's eyes flashed with wisdom as he said, "There's only one thing we need to do..."
"We'll widen the gap between us and the opponent here," Youyou added. "It's pathetic, but it's still a competition—"
"wrong."
You suddenly interrupted her, saying, "Isn't it cooler to win a hard-fought victory than to win by a large margin? From now on, I'm going to help Team White and make the game even more intense!"
"Why did it turn out like this?!"
Youyou looked like she was about to cry, unable to accept that her good friend was turning around and helping another group.
But the Roasted Sweet Potato Tyrant was delighted, and it couldn't help but shout, "Great! Great! More! More and more, let's compete!!!"
From this perspective, it seems that choosing the right option wasn't wrong? After all, if the Sweet Potato Tyrant wasn't satisfied, they might be attacked by him.
