836 Twenty-ninth Day of the Purple Moon (2) - Watch the Game
The two moments from then to Jomtien were indeed a pleasant time to rest.
Newly arrived people from the streets also rush into the arena with no eyes on the stalls. Today, half the time from the opening and all the time from Jomtien was the battle for us.
"Well, then, that means about half of your normal business hours, right? Is that how you sell out the same amount of food as you usually do?
"I don't know. Honestly, this is the first tournament in Genos, so it's pretty hands-on."
However, even though it was a regular season at the Martial Arts Club, they were able to sell food equivalent to Easter. Since then, the number of stalls has increased and the total number of dishes seems to be about 1,75 times higher, but what results will it settle for?
From the arena, which swallowed large numbers of humans, there is a clear cheer. Though this is Totos' first attempt at early running competitions in Genos, it seems to be showing a lot of excitement. Watching the game after business was also something I was increasingly looking forward to.
"Come on, it's going to be Jomtien soon. Your legs will be more intense than they were earlier, so let's keep our heads together."
When I proclaimed it that way, there was a group approaching from across the arena bypassing the stone walls.
It is a large box-shaped Totos car and only ten soldiers who guard it. Listed on the side of the Totos car was the crest of the Marquis de Genos.
"Excuse me. Can I buy you a dish?
It was the person who was getting out of the car and calling out as such who was seeing the 'Giva's Round Grill' job on that holiday.
"Of course it is. How many people?
This is how Guiba dishes were bought up for the chiefs and nobles in the VIP table. Since a bigger crowd is expected this time than before, I guess I decided to secure it in advance before the break.
"We also brought utensils for juice dishes. If you don't mind, I'd like to have all the dishes for 20 people at a time."
"Huh? Twenty minutes at a time? This one covers seven stalls, so it's going to be quite a few..."
"Yes, Dear Melfried, I accept that. Many of you are looking for this Giva dish."
That was an honorable story.
Either way, it's quite a number of twenty. Especially since I and others were in charge of "Sauce Grilled Noodles," I had to finish it in a big hurry.
"Um, are some of the Odifias from the Marquis of Genos here today?
From a few away workbenches, I could hear Tul-din asking so loudly.
I couldn't hear what they answered, but the sound of Thur-din's "Really?" made it known that Odifia was in attendance. For both sides, it would be a fortunate story.
"If you like, how about the food over here? Even during the martial arts club, they bought our food."
When Yumi called cheerfully, the apostle's man smiled, "Is it Master Left?"
"Now let me buy it. Are you being greeted by the forest people, too?
"Absolutely! It's one of those inns where you're supposed to be able to buy Giva meat first!
So Yumi's okonomiyaki was also to be bought safely.
By the way, instead of Yumi, when did Joo-Run sit tight? He arrived just now with the prospect of only seeing the main election in the afternoon.
Whatever it is, it stores all the dishes in the Totos car, and a bunch of them turn back constantly.
Almost at the same time that the figure hid behind the arena, the entrance door opened wide.
The people jumping out of there will kill us and go to the stall first. Thankfully, the human vortex first came to the western edge.
The rest is already busy beyond the mornings. Since the break was only for a moment, it seemed desperate to keep everyone from eating up.
(I wonder if this means that we all want to see the real selection from this afternoon right from the start as well)
A large crowd gathered in the morning, perhaps backed by Easter enthusiasm, but if it had been a boring spectacle, it seemed that he would not have rushed so much for a meal.
(If this event is a success, it's above all. I'm sure Vermes at the top would be relieved too)
With that in mind, I'm going to finish Sauce Baked Noodles one after the other.
"This guy is such a mess! The familiar voice echoed after four and a half minutes had passed. A group of architects finally arrived.
"Welcome. Are you following me now?
"Oh. You didn't want to go out of your way to get up early. Still, we're all here."
Aldas answered me like that with a smile on his face.
From the outset, they were less interested in early running competitions. Still, I thought about taking a trip because I heard that the people from the woods were going to compete.
"So, did you guys by the woods win out?
"We haven't heard the results of the qualifying yet, either, have we? Unless you're sorry for wasting your time."
"Fine, fine. I don't think it's going to be easy to get a chance to see this arena. Most importantly, if you can eat Asta's food, you won't be wasting your legs."
I gave him a smile back, "Thank you," as I poured Wuster sauce on the iron plate.
"How are things in Inn Town? After all, are you cancerous?
"Well, compared to the last few days. But the food stalls were busy as usual."
Above all, then. Fortunately, Levi and Lars were not wasted.
Eventually, when the baked noodles were finished, Aldas walked away, as usual, piling the dishes on a large plate. I don't have a dining room, so it's hard to eat, but I didn't want to take the trouble to carry it individually.
The next to emerged were three: Kamua-Josh and Leyt, and Zashma. They were visiting early in the morning, but they said they were picking up seats early in the arena.
"It's a little crackly to face Late outside Kimmus's Tail Pavilion."
When I called him that way, Late smiled quietly, "Yes."
"That's what Camus says when he sees the skilled rider's reins judgment will be training him to ride Totos, and he's only been given a day off from work at the inn"
"I see. Again, is the technology to ride Totos also important for the Guardian?
To my question, Camua-Josh shrugged his shoulder, "That's right," he said.
"Sometimes you're going to kick some outlaws and wild beasts while you're on Totos. I think it's as important a technology as the arm of a sword. .. or that ordinary inhabitants won't have a chance to span Totos, so I guess swordsmen and travelers are the focus of winning today's tournament"
"Hmm. But you two didn't show up."
Then this time, Zashma laughs cheerfully.
"If it was normal, you could have tried your arm. You want to relax during Easter? It doesn't seem as easy as a martial arts club, but I'll be there for you folks by the forest."
I just wanted to hear the results of the qualifying round, but I couldn't even exchange words any more because I was able to give the three baked noodles right away.
It will be about half an hour, but it will not change the momentum of the customer. Well, otherwise it would be difficult to sell out the food. This much momentum is needed to sell out the usual half the time.
After a while, the faces of the Pot of Silver came to me.
Three, including Radajid, the number of orders is six. When I told him that it was for four people that I could serve right away, I left that carriage to the other two and Radajid stayed in front of the stall.
"The people of the woods, three, have won. One, defeated."
"Really? Who has defeated us?
"Name, I couldn't hear you. Three winners, Schmiral-Lillin, Rudd-Lou, and a hunter without Mr."
A hunter who does not have a Mr. is Dodd, a representative of the Zaza bloodline.
That meant the defeat of Vera's young parents, representatives of Sauti's blood clan.
"Qualifying, four, running, to second place, we're out of a win. Lost man, just once more, opportunity, given. Unknown, hunter by the woods, both times, noble, defeated."
"I see. How far will the Schmiral-Lillins win?"
"Unknown. But good results, I can stay, I think"
That was a comforting word.
I'm not going to stick to winning or losing either, but thanks to the story that the top winners can attend the feast, I'm going to stick to expectations.
"Hunters by the woods, let's win, let's pray. Now if you'll excuse me."
Leaving those words behind, Radajid also walked away.
Then comes the sightseers by the woods. Your reaction was subtle.
"It's quite pleasant to compare the power of Totos. It's all the more so because it's joined by fellow Moribe."
"Would it? Totos just runs around and I'm getting tired of it."
Then, as an escort, Rad-Lid, who was stuck on the back of the workbench, shouted.
"Even after the business is over, we have to leave some hunters on the lookout! If a man I'm tired of seeing plays that role, I'd appreciate it!
"Absolutely. I want parents to see if it's a pleasure."
When those men disappeared that way, Rad-Lid snorted "Hmm".
"Nevertheless, I can't imagine what would be fun for me either. Ai-Fa said it would be fun to run Totos yourself, but would it be fun to see the rest of you running Tototos and fulfill it?
"I don't know. But when Luu's blood tribe was running Totos, it seemed to me that the families who were watching seemed to have fun"
"Right. Well, there's nothing I can say about not confirming it with my own eyes!
Listening to the interaction between the Ey-fa's, I smashed the last noodles and ingredients onto the iron plate.
Apparently, there's no need to worry about the rest of this dish. It should have been time for the break to come to an end, but there was no significant change in the bustle in front of the stall.
"Sorry! This dish is over!
And I could hear Mim's energetic voice coming from a distant workbench on the arrow tip I thought that way. Mime's special stewed dish seems to have sold out first.
The next thing I know, I was told that Tour-Din's confectionery was sold out, and then the baked noodles were also to be sold out.
The free man helps collect dishes and wash them, and the number of them just increases. "Miso Tailored Moto Hot Pot" and "Giva Curry" are also out of sale, and there are two more stalls to go - and at times like that, I could hear the tone of the drums coming from the arena.
The people who were relaxing in the square head to the arena in a relaxing foothold. More enthusiastic people would have returned to the arena as soon as they finished their meals. And the people lined up in the stalls didn't even seem to panic at all.
"Well, it's time. You're a little too relaxed."
"Well, that's good. Let's get hungry before we go back. It's funnier to pour a copper coin into an end-of-life battle than to bet right away."
After all, not everyone seemed to be as enthusiastic about watching the game because it was a competition as unfamiliar as the Martial Arts Association, or because of the releasing air of Easter.
Thanks to you, this one was able to sell out all the dishes. The dishes from the seven stalls are rarely sold out.
"Ho, ho, you've really sold it all out. From start to finish, it was incredible."
"Yeah. This is a fine achievement. Good luck, everyone."
Everyone had a full face, led by Malfila-Naham, the first member to work on a street job in this place.
"Well, that's a sight for a run comparison! They're going to take the watch!
That's what I'm saying. Instead of Rad-Lid, about five male and female compatriots refrained. I have watched the tournament in the morning and am satisfied with the people of my nearby family.
"We apologize for the inconvenience, thank you. Today's earnings have been collected in this middle luggage car."
"I understand. See how far your fellow forest brethren can win."
We thanked the rest of the group and decided to head to the arena.
Yumi and Luia are also among them. Joo-Run asked his family to keep an eye on their luggage, too. The parents of Birdu-Fow and Lan also accepted the offer, so Yumi and the others looked frightened but happy.
The total number of members who had encouraged the work of the stalls was quite high, as they all wanted to watch the game for now. Well, in a family that is not a period of rest, they become valuable spectators. Tour-Din, who was reluctant during the martial arts club, was also following along with the Lid women this time.
The black cat, by the way, leaves it in his luggage. It's not a decision I've figured out if animals are allowed in, and a noisy place like that would be stressful for black cats. When I got off my hands on the carrier and could say, "I'm being quiet," the black cat was something that was rounded with unexpected honesty.
"Admission? Let me change under my coat."
The entrance to the perfectly closed arena was guarded by many guards.
When Rad-Lid tilts his thick neck, Ey-Fa, who knows the circumstances, explains.
"You are allowed to bring in a knife, but you are forbidden to bring in a bow. If you use a bow, it can hurt people in distant places."
"I see! The Lord of Genos was also shot with an arrow in" Jomtien Day "! You mean be careful!
Of course the escort didn't need a bow, so everyone was allowed to knock at the door without any problems.
Beyond the door is a dim and elongated passage. And people's cheers have pushed me under more pressure than ever.
Stepping through the passageway, which is only 10 meters, reveals space for each baseball field. On the other side, partitioned by a wooden fence, four tototosses were rushing wildly.
"This is a passage, so we're going up here."
Since the only hunters who knew the structure of the arena were Ai-Fa and Chim-Sudra, both of those names were to escort their compatriots.
The arena is shaped like a bowl. The outfit surrounds the huge space in which the competition takes place with staircase seats. Everything is made of stone except the ground where the soil is peeled off, so it looks like the ancient Colosseum, but the one in my hometown called the Arena is probably also based on these things.
The seats nearby were filled, so we were supposed to climb up to the top of the stairs built as aisles.
Since the top stage is a stand-up seat, it will be sidelined on the spot for the first time.
Just at the end of the race, the two winning names were being called by touchmen.
"That's amazing! I've never seen the sight of so many humans gathered in one place!
Instead of me, I'm raising the voice that Ray-Matua played.
Then Lara-Lew, who was gazing at the guest seat, also said, "Ah!" He shouted out loud.
"Look, there! There's the Giza brothers sitting over there!
"Yeah? Where is it?... Oh, I get it! That seat over there, protected by the guards!
Even today, the dignitaries by the woods seemed to be protected by the guards close to the nobles.
My eyesight doesn't confirm anyone, but there are six guests today. It is a rash of faces: Giza-Lou, Raina-Lou, Vina Luu-Lilin, Dari-Sauti, Mil Fei-Sauti, and Georg-Zaza. Georg-Zaza did not take one of the offerings either because he nominated Tour-Din as his evening feast partner.
The painting is divided between the left and right spaces and walls, yet strictly protected by the guards. Of course, it is not the people by the woods who are protected, but the nobles who are watching the game in the same space. Only one painting had a rug laid on a stone seat and a leather roof over its head.
The general seats are mostly filled and are just awesome enthusiasm. Plus from all over, you can hear the casino torso sticking up its voice. Everything seemed to be as busy as it was at the Martial Arts Club.
"Good day, Asta"
And, I can speak from side to side on the pretend. Looking back, Radajid and the other member of the team were about to approach us.
"I looked, I saw you, so I greeted you, and I went out. If you like, watch the game, along with?
"Of course it is. How about three people by the woods?
"Everyone, we're winning out. But second place, sweetness, a lot."
Even in the main race, running for four seemed to be the rule of winning out until second place.
However, in the main race, they say it is an irreversible one-shot battle. The story is that nearly 80 players who have won the qualifying round will fall off two at a time, and that is how they will determine the last winner.
"If you do that... you have to win six or so main runs alone. Right. The endurance of Totos is also likely to be important."
"Yes. In that regard, after all, the aristocratic Tototos, excellence. Beautiful appearance, to keep, you must be working out from time to time, tough."
That's what Radajid said as he glanced at the arena.
"Except, Genos, for running early, not thriving, or aristocratic athletes, few. We're winning, three."
"Hmm. By the way, how much of the game is going on right now?
"Soon, two fights, it's over. There are 20 of us left."
Because the race was going fast, the numbers had already been narrowed down to that point, and while there were a hundred people in it, even if they were just winning this far, the Schmiral-Lillins would be a big deal.
After a while, it seems that the second round ended, and the combination of the human name and the third round, which has been won so far, was announced.
So we were asked many names that we remember.
"Were the three noble players Raylis, Leeheim and Devious..."
When I was alone, Radajid looked at me strangely.
"Asta, are you cordial, are you aristocratic?
"Yeah, well, one day... Raylis is the knight of the Knights of Saturas, Leeheim is the first son of the Earl of Saturas, and Devious is the captain of the militia."
Two, with the exception of Leeheim, by the way, are named swordsmen who have also joined the former martial arts club. As Camua-Josh said, will Totos' riding skills also become important for swordsmen?
(Well, I wonder if it's like equestrianism for warlords and cavalry)
"Really?" Radajid breathed as I thought.
"Nobility, everyone, strong power, showing, but strongest, Leeheim"
"Oh, really? The person named Leeheim has the impression that his body didn't even seem so sturdy..."
"The power of Totos, he excels. Also, it deserves it, I think, the curtain judgment,"
I see, I have the impression that equestrianism, even in my hometown, had the side of a noble hobby of the wealthy. Leeheim was also brushing Totos rider's arms, I guess.
In the meantime, Ai-Fa was doing his hand on his mandible with "Hmm".
"The name Dawn the mercenary sounds familiar. However, he must have been a man who had shown a certain strength in the martial arts."
"Mercenary Dawn? Was that what they called you?... um, it sure doesn't sound familiar..."
Either way, there were 23 of them entering the third round, and they said five games would be played.
The first game is a sudden direct showdown between Schmiral-Lilyn and Leeheim. The remaining two were strange names.
"Begin!"
As the starter waved the flag down, the four sets of riders and Totos made the start simultaneously.
Leeheim is second, and Schmiral-Lilyn is at the rear.
Winning or losing is decided around an elliptical course built heavily into the arena. The inside of the course is loaded with red bricks, and if they touch it or step inside, they say it's unconditional and disqualified.
Around what was bad for the first corner, Leeheim had already jumped ahead.
Somehow, it is handsome without question.
Also very powerful as well as handsome. Even though the size of Totos was not excellent, it looked different from the engine.
Just past the half circumference of the course, Schmiral-Lilyn at the rear will be third.
And right in front of the goal, Shmiral-Lilyn was second and was able to win hard.
Leeheim is number one with an overwhelming difference.
"Again, it's a formidable enemy. Schmiral-Lilyn, already twice, Leeheim, defeated."
"Oh, did you?
"Yes. Qualifying, and, the first round of the main race, I won. Schmiral-Lilyn, the method of warfare, I've been exploring this, but winning, it seems difficult."
The story was that Schmiral-Lilyn's riding tototos had only a very ordinary power.
However, if you win up to the top 8, you can attend the celebration feast. Now that we've made it through Game 3, we should have been able to reach that side award with another win.
(All this time, you seem to have a share of nobility. But even if we're just winning this far, it should be amazing)
In the VIP seat, does Vina Luu-Lilin also tremble her breasts at the activity of her partner?
At least, for me, the joy of winning the third round was less than the shame of Schmiral-Lilyn's defeat to Leeheim.
In the meantime, there will be a second game.
The group incorporated Dodd and Devious.
The result is that Devious is first and Dodd is second. Devious's victory felt more cheering than it did when Leeheim.
"Hmm. He said there would be no holidays until after Easter, etc., but he was adding to this kind of power comparison."
On the top of the Buddha, Ai-Fa discards. I don't always hate Devious, I just feel a little bad about him. But anyway, it was supposed to be a congratulatory story for the person you knew to win.
In the third game, Dawn the Mercenary and a stranger give him a victory.
At that time, a great deal of cheer was raised, apparently because the latter were residents of the boarding town. It must be a feat that a man who is neither a swordsman nor a traveler wins this far.
And in Game 4, both were won by strangers, but at that time, no less cheering arose than earlier.
The Ray-Matuas and others are even under their ears with a surprising face. The reason why the audience boils down to this point was just explained to me by Radajid.
"It seems to be the first place, the person who became, the people of the South. Brothers, you must be blessing."
"Heh, were the people of the south competing as well? Then the people of the south will be delighted."
However, the number of the people of the south who are staying in Genos, etc. should be known. Perhaps you're squeezing ten cheers on your own. Imagining if the old ladies and the Ardus were included there made me happy until me.
That concludes Game 5 with no connection, and the next is the final game of Game 3.
Since the number of people was half, only this group is performed by three people. Among them were Rudd-Lou and Leiris.
Rud-Ruh is the starting dash for each bullet, as he was showing in the Ruh family qualifying round.
Raelis had a rear-end start, but he caught a close chase up to second, and also captured Rudd-Lou just in front of the goal. If you're done, nobility is number one again.
But Rudd-Lew, Schmiral-Lilyn and Dodd could have won this far.
The remaining players are twelve. To determine the top eight, they also have a loser revival here.
Winning one more time will ensure your invitation to the feast. As far as I'm concerned, I just let go of my high expectations.
