Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 271: Duel tournament single match

The next morning, after having breakfast, I logged in and found Mel and the others. When I heard about the results of the event, it seemed that Mel and Risa had been selected for the finals as a tag team. It seems that Mirai didn't make it.

So I'll be watching it with Mirai tomorrow.

As for the rest of the team, Yoichi-san and Mangetsu-san will be playing together. Tristan-san was paired up with someone unrelated to us and decided to compete. Arleigh and Rekka, Keigo and Yuko, Tyrol and Reppuu-san were chosen to participate.

The other summoners were Takuma and Aroma from Sand Ant and Maya. Cosette, Lara and Felt who I became friends with at the summoners exchange meeting were decided.

"Dont get acquainted quite a bit...hmm? Was Rook useless?"

"Yes...it seems that there was an accident...Freetia team's level has risen a lot since the last event. And the strength of the summoners is outstanding. He's played against a lot of summoners and it was tough"

"We won all of our matches against summoners, though!"

Well, if Risa challenged a summoner in a fight while Mel was attracting the summoner, she would win.

"Are you taking Lily and the others with you today?"

"Yes, but I'm not taking them with me tomorrow. I got a warning from Arleigh"

"That's right...yeah. I think that's a good idea"

So I'll go to the Beastmasters Guild and summon them first. My target is the imp I failed to summon last time. This time I'll summon it! I set the medium magic stone.

"List summon!"

The magic circle shines in black. And the Imp appears. Imp is a little girl like Fairy. The only difference is that the fairy is white, while the imp is brown. She also has bat wings, a devilish tail and two horns. Her eyes were red and she was dressed like a gal.

Somehow I think this girl is not my type. Then Imp came up to me, pointed at herself and crossed her arms.

I feel like she's telling me to name her. They've all been good kids, despite their quirks, but this one seems to be quite difficult.

Before I could even think about what to name her, I looked at her and thought of something.

"Your name is Cinth. What do you think?"

I felt like the imp who heard my name was telling me that it was not so bad. Well, I'm glad she likes it.

The name comes from hyacinth. The language of flowers is jealousy. Jealousy is controlled by the demon Leviathan. I don't think she'll ever be Leviathan, but I think I'm right about the demon connection.

Let's check the status.

Name Cinth Imp Lv1

Vitality 20

Magic Power 30

Strength 20

Defense 20

Agility 30

Dexterity 22

Skills

Flight Lv1

Bloodsucking Lv1

Night Vision Lv1

Sign Isolation Lv1

Hiding Lv1

Dark Magic Lv1

Curse Lv1

Umm. Her status is similar to fairy, but fairy is more magical and imp seem to be more about biting.

After that, I headed to the Reich Empire at the event venue with Mel and Lily, Ion, Setia, Koihi and Bran who had been waiting.

The Reich Empire was a city of concrete houses and factories. Setia muttered a complaint.

"...I hate this place"

It seems that elves hate factories. It was only natural that they hated it here.

"You don't have to do this, okay?"

"I'm fine. I want to watch and learn from the battles"

"If you can't do it, just tell me, okay?"

"Yes. You worry too much, Takuto-sama"

That's because you're not feeling well. Good grief...while we were talking about this, we arrived at our destination. There was a magnificent Colosseum there.

Apparently, it was free to watch the game and we quickly secured our seats.

Finally, the event began.

First, the moderator explained the rules of the tournament.

Then the tournament table was announced. As Kaito said, there are a lot of people who have a dark job. But there are still more than usual, which may be due to the fact that there are only a few of them to begin with. Oh, there are the names of Hokage and others. After all, ninjas are strong in single combat, right?

Then the event began.

After the first round, we took a lunch break and ate at an Imperial restaurant. After watching the first round, I thought that the strengthening of the dark jobs was noticeable and that the normal players were overwhelming the dark jobs.

Mel speaks.

"A gun is a foul..."

"It's a firearm, so it's supposed to be a one-shot deal, but that was totally on target. You must have practiced enough to make that possible"

"Nii-chan, is there anyone you're interested in?"

"The samurai, the martial artist in Chinese clothes, the chainsaw woodworker, the dark-fallen fugitive ninja, the dark-fallen knight and the avenger cloaked man were all very strong"

They were strong to the point where I'm not sure I can beat them.

"What about the mage who flew?"

"Not very strong, but I can't wait to learn some magic"

It was the first time that flight magic was unveiled. Well, after escaping into the sky, he used his magic to win the game, but he wouldn't be able to win that one. As long as the size of the field is set, flying in the sky is a target for long range attacks such as bows and arrows.

He was just lucky that his opponent was a slow heavy warrior with no long range attack. His next opponent would be the dark ninja and unless he had something to hide, he would probably lose.

Then Lily, who had been quiet, opened her mouth.

"Takuto...the food here"

"It's a dish from another country, you know? Eat it"

"Ugh..."

Lily's eyes are tearing up, but everyone else's eyes are tearing up too.

"But Takuto-sama, all these medicinal vegetables..."

"Isn't vegetables still good...look at the fish"

The cuisine of the empire seems to be dominated by food additives and chemical-based cuisine. It's not just that it's bad. Rather, it is also used in reality. The problem is the amount of additives that are wasted, to the point where you would think they would make you sick.

It seems to me that they are denying all natural ingredients. I tried to evaluate the dishes that were served.

Yellow Fried Chicken: Rarity 2 Cooking Quality F-

Deep-fried food with yellow coloring. No harm to the body.

Agrichemical Salad: Rarity 2 Cooking Quality F-

A salad made from vegetables with pesticides. No harm to the body.

Canned Amur Minnow: Rarity 2 Cooking Quality F-

Canned Amur minnow and stored for a long time. No harm to the body.

Now, let's get down to the tsukkomi. First of all, don't write in the description that it's harmless! It makes you worry!

Yellow fried chicken...why yellow? I don't get it! In case you're wondering, the yellow fried chicken is a mixture of sludgy oil and yellow coloring, making it a dish that should be recommended for Mosaic.

Agrichemical salad...looks the most normal. It looks normal. On the other hand, it's scary. Pesticides are used in almost all vegetables. Pesticides are mainly insecticides, fungicides to prevent diseases and herbicides to reduce the need for mowing. Naturally, some pesticides are poisonous and can kill people if eaten in excess. That's why I can't help but feel uneasy about them.

Canned amur minnow...before I appraised it, I thought it was coming. I thought it was going to be a big deal. Because it's not in its original form, it's covered in gooey oil and for some reason the oil is shining in rainbow colors. For some reason, it reminded me of factory wastewater. I like to think it was my imagination.

I'm going to overlook the fact that they opened and served the canned food on the spot in a proper restaurant and that they had a bad attitude towards Lily and the others.

"It kind of reminds me of Mocchi-san's restaurant"

"Eh?"

Ion looked at me strangely. That was the first time it came out. Only Lily will know.

"Ah! The first dish I had with Takuto was something like this!"

''Is that so? Eh? Did Mocchi-san serve something like this?"

"It was a different kind of disgusting food"

"It was the reason Takuto started cooking, right!"

Nostalgic. There was boar meat and I cooked it to try it out, and it freed up my cooking skill, right? When I talked about it, Ion and the others listened intently.

"So what are we going to do with this food?"

Mel brought me back to reality. If you tell us what to do, we have to eat it.

We vowed that we would bring our own food next time.

The event then resumed after the lunch break. After all, the genuinely strong people were winning. And as the event progressed, the skills became clearer. And as the event progressed, we learned more about their skills and even more hidden gems were revealed.

Ion asks me.

"That avenger...he was defeated so easily, wasn't he?"

"He's always had to deal with dark job players. The chokehold with a wire was excellent, but if the opponent wasn't the samurai, I think he would have gone higher, but the order of the tournament was bad"

"The martial artist girl Nii-chan was pushing also lost"

I feel like Rika is blaming me for this.

"Yeah, she was trying to do some pinning technique, but she couldn't do it"

"Eh? Why not?"

"Rika-chan...I don't think you can do that to a man in front of everyone in that outfit"

It doesn't look like a system, but it's still not psychologically possible for a young girl. Thanks to that, the dark knight hasn't taken her life.

"Hokage-san...it was regrettable"

"Hokage-san likes ninja. It seems that he really wanted to win against the dark ninja, but after all there was a difference in compatibility with normal ninja"

It seems that the dark-fallen fugitive ninja can be equipped with dark weapons, unlike the normal ninja. An assassination weapon is an assassination weapon. It is a weapon whose blade is hidden in ordinary objects or hidden in clothes.

As soon as the dark-fallen fugitive ninja started, he shot the poison needles he had planted in his arm. Hokage-san avoids it with body-replacement technique, but it is a one-time technique. As long as there was no second time, the dark-fallen fugitive ninja was able to throw poisonous needles and he was on the other side of the battle against attacks manipulated by throwing maneuver.

"Sa, Sasuke~..."

"I am a Kouga"

That was the last conversation they had.

At the end of the afternoon session, the top four were assembled.

The top four were the samurai, the chainsaw woodworker, the ninja and the dark knight. The matchups were samurai vs dark-fallen fugitive ninja and chainsaw vs dark knight. It's a combination I'm genuinely looking forward to.
