Is the Strongest in Another World a Hero? A Demon Lord? No! it’s a Fairy ~desu!

veryone would just hesitate to attack and the tournament would only turn into a tournament-like event」

「That’s right, explain it to them baldy!! It seems like they would break if you just touched them! If they would want to be prostitutes they will probably earn a lot.
Just stop it, trying to enter that battle!! If a beautiful face like yours becomes scarred you won’t even be worth a copper coin you know~~? 」

The surrounding people roared out in laughter.
Hmmm, everyone probably knew each other.
They are probably adventurers working in the kingdom, right? Because they have all been drinking since some time ago, most of them are already drunk.

「You people.
You don’t look like people that belong to the kingdom’s adventurer’s guild and I haven’t seen you there today.
What have you been doing since you arrived? 」

「……Sightseeing?」

I just answered honestly, and everyone roared in laughter once more.
The man called Baldy was also chugging his drink while laughing wildly.

「You, you’re killing me.
Gahahahahaha.
A visitor sightseeing will be joining the battle tournament! Are you sick, or maybe just out of your mind… you… … you do realize that it’s going to be a fierce place right!? Why not just forget about it and bet on a man that you think is strong!! Betting on a girl like you would just be a losing bet… You will be thoroughly crushed… It will be awful!!」

Baldy suddenly shows a serious look with sharpened eyes.
He then picked up the huge battle axe from his back and crushes the table we sat at with it.
The flying fragments that were headed towards Arena was warded off by La Veil’s coat covered in thin flames, while the dishes that she was finishing was held in her other hand.
Quite capable.

「Even if a man such as myself enters, I would always fail to reach the qualifiers every year.
Thinking a little girl like you participating makes me feel irritated!! This is a warning, be sure to prepare yourselves as the tournament begins!!」

After saying all that, he then groggily left the inn.

(I, I’m glad… that he immediately left)

If he continued any more than that, La Veil would have tried silencing him a few moments later.
I somehow managed to stop her by using 『Synchronize』.
I realized that he was already stepping on a ridiculously strong landmine at that time.

「Master, is it fine if I slaughter that man if I ever encounter him in the tournament?」

「It’s not that I’m stopping you, but you see.
Do you want something like that be shown to Arena? 」

「………Umu」

Arena was just silently watching all of that, you have endured it well right? I was even expecting that she would at least attempt to launch a fairy magic or two but it didn’t happen.

「I don’t want Aidle to be troubled you know… but, how frustrating…」

「Don’t worry about it, We will definitely show them one of these days.」

I left alone the men who were still laughing from all that and called Nee-san.
Nee-san who was watching from far away looked sorry, but when she came close to us with an amazed look on her face.
I guess I have to pay for the table.

「Regarding what that person said to you a while ago… You don’t really have to be bothered by it.
He would always find people to target and bother them.
He also did that to me last year」

「Nee-san also goes out?」

「Every now and then.
I’m also a registered adventurer of the kingdom while managing an Inn.
And the Axeboa that I serve is something I procure myself」

So she was still an active Adventurer, I thought she was retired.

「I’m also entering every year for the qualifier but fail to pass.
I will also be joining.
There will be a lot participants entering this time, but I didn’t expect that you would be targeted by that person… Sorry」

「There’s no need for you to apologize.
Here’s payment for the table」

「… Sorry about that.
I will collect the collateral from Baldy later.
Come on now people!! Don’t just laugh at woman endlessly!! Do you people want me to entertain you!!??」

All the men that were cheerfully laughing turned silent in the blink of an eye.
Nee-san looked back at me and forcibly shook my hand.

「My Name’s Aguera.
The fighting tournament, do your best!!」

「…Thank you Aguera-san.
I’m Aidle.
I will definitely not lose so won’t you bet on me? 」

「That’s really a scary declaration so please stop it」

Are you in debt………

After a while, the guests also started to dwindle down and things started to calm down.
Even after all that, La Veil continued eating.
Right now she has finally calmed down and was just drinking Sake.
Arena became sleepy so she went back to our room.

I was drinking with Aguera-san who finished all her work for the day.
I’m just drinking fruit juice though.
For the two adults looking over me, I’m just a child after all.

「Is it really fine to keep your rank in silence like that, I’m wondering why you didn’t show it…」

「It’s because nobody would probably believe it even if I show them my rank.
If I was inside the guild, then it would be easy to confirm it since it’s not easy to just fake it, and you be rejected by the guild if you got caught doing it. 」

「Right.
It’s really troublesome… Don’t worry, I’ll beat him up the next time he comes」

「At that time nobody would probably stop you.
On different topic Aguera-san, I would like to ask something.」

「What is it?」

「About the rewards that will be given in the tournament, what will they be?」

I asked Aguera-san as she was pouring liquor on La Veil’s cup.

「Hmm.
First of all is when reaching the final selection.
It will be 10 gold coins.
Then it will increase by 10 more every time you win from that point.
The difference would change once you reached the final three I think.
The rewards from that point differs every year but there are certain things given beside the prize money.
Additionally, the winner gets a special qualification」

「And that is?」

「You can directly ask the king for a reward.
Any wish will be granted as long as it is possible to do so」

I and La Veil looked at each other.
Then we started laughing because we weren’t expecting that what we were aiming for would actually end up as the first prize itself.
It seems like I will be able to meet the king much earlier than expected.

「What happened, why the sudden laugh?」

「Ah, well you see, we are just thinking about what we would ask the king if we won.
What request would you ask for, Aguera-san?」

She was seriously thinking about it for quite some time.
Then, after hearing her answer, we thought it was just very Aguera-san like.

「…Is it probably something like asking for a larger Inn, I guess?」

「I think I will wish for a princess as my bride」

「That will probably be impossible」

That’s just pointless…?

「「…」」

That day the Shogi challenge continued into the night.
