666 Episode 0666



"Quiet!"

 Voices echo in the stadium.
 The overwhelmingly powerful voice echoed throughout the stadium, even though it wasn't using magic items as it was in real life.
 The general public and the guests in the VIP seats gradually calmed down.
 Dusker, who was also watching it in the state of honor, let out a sigh of admiration.

"You are the emperor of the Westian Empire, and your presence is extraordinary."

 True to his words, the voice was uttered by Trajist Gnose Bestia, the Emperor of the Empire, who was watching the final match in the royal guest room.
 His voice, waving the hair of a lion, calms down people who have been confused in the arena with overwhelming force.

"Don't let the people of the Vestian Empire get embarrassed by all this fuss! The sound of the explosion came from afar. There's no danger to those here! If there's any danger, there's a real noise, a Rank S adventurer who won the competition."

 The words completely calm those who were temporarily calm.
 Rank S adventurers have that much presence, and perhaps they were able to confirm their abilities with their own eyes not too long ago.
 ...however, few could accurately see the speed of movement carried out by the armour of the hegemony.
 Still, the actual fight before us was more than convincing enough to convince the audience.
 In addition...

"And there are some crimson rays that are broken by the immovable noise, but are even matched! Many people in the Westian Empire will know about this crimson ray. So you needn't worry!"

 When Dusker hears the words echoing through the stadium, he feels beaten.
 That's because what I said now was a mixture of truth and reality. Among them, Ray is here, and there is a great nuance that can be understood as cooperating with us.
 Now that you've said this in front of this crowd, you won't be able to refuse it.
 If I refused, in many ways I was sure I would be in trouble at a later date.

"Equally, you know? Do you know or don't you? -- no, I'm sure you're saying it after you know it."

 It was Elk who muttered so.
 The response was that Ray fought even with the noise.
 Surely the noise was somewhat more powerful than the games played so far. However, that was not true but not serious, and even being even with Ray was an impossible expression.

(As expected, the emperor is strong.) Do you use the available military power without hesitation?

 The story of Trajist continues, aside from the whispering Dusker.

"It's dangerous to go out carelessly now! Let's have everyone stay here for a while until the trouble settles down." Of course they will remain here, so there is nothing for them to worry about. Fortunately, the awards ceremony hasn't started yet. That being the case, I don't think we can stop the awards ceremony here."

 The grand declaration makes the audience buzz again.
 No, it's not just the auditorium. It was the same for even the stately seats.
 The only people who are not surprised are those who know the character of the emperor. Those invited from neighboring countries are simply looking at the trajist, who appears dumbfounded and dignified.

"Is this the emperor of the Vestian Empire?" I never thought I'd take the initiative to stay here."

 At the muttering Elk, Dusker opened his mouth, shrugging his shoulders.

"In fact, there will be chaos in this situation. It would be much safer to stay here than to go back to the castle through the city. It's quite natural to think about it."
"However, unlike a fortified castle, this is definitely a stadium. I don't think it's sufficient for safety?"
"I understand Min's point for sure. But instead of having a defense system here, there's noise. Moreover, some Rei were unable to act rashly because of the Emperor's words. If you think about it, it would be safer here than Ningro Castle."

 Dusker muttered, paused for a moment, and confirmed that all the people in the room were noisy and not paying attention to him, he spoke again.

"And what do you think? This is..."
"Yes. Probably... no, this is definitely the action of the third prince. However, they should also like to rescue the third prince, who is under house arrest as secretly as possible. If so, perhaps."

 It was discovered and fought. Dasker nods to Min's words, which he stopped saying.

"Then I'll be busy from now on. We'd better get ready to leave the inn at once. -- of Ray, perhaps, and after that he will cooperate with the Theorames."
"Hmmm, is this as expected from Mr. Dusker's point of view?"

 It's bitter for Dasker to smile at that ridiculous remark about Min.

"No way! If I could reach that far, there would be many more conveniences." This incident is completely irrelevant to me. But the question is, how long should I stay in this arena?"
"Perhaps we'll need some more time," Besides, as long as Ray, who participated in the competition, attends the awards ceremony, I don't think Mr. Dusker or we, who are closely related to Ray, will be able to excuse ourselves."

 Above all, there is still a Trajist, the emperor of this Bestian Empire. In the midst of this, it is impossible for us, who are guests, to return to our own way.

"It can't be helped, can't it?" Let's wait and see for a moment."

 Then, as if waiting for the words to be spun out of Dusker's mouth, bubbles are produced in the player's mouth.
 It's a fantastic sight that I've seen several times in this competition, and yet it's always fascinating.
 The sun shines like the midsummer sun with sparkling bubbles in countless colors, creating an even more fantastic atmosphere.
 It's two people who come along in such bubbles.
 One is the winner of the competition and the hero of the Empire, Rank S adventurer, Immovable Noise.
 The equipment he wears is the same as he did in the final, and there are no scratches on it as if he had won the battle against Ray almost intact.

"'Wow, aah!'

 The moment noise appears, loud cheers echo through the stadium.
 There was a longing for noise itself, but it was also certain that the explosion and the accompanying words of the emperor were working.
 And when Ray appeared following the noise...

'Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!'

 It's smaller than the noise, but more than enough cheers still echo through the stadium.

(This is... an unexpected effect.)

 As he watched the audience, Dusker muttered inwardly.
 By winning this far, Ray had certainly received a fair amount of cheers from the crowd. But it shouldn't have been this far.
 But this cheer was definitely directed at Ray.
 Noise and Ray go up to the stage armed with each other.
 Normally, it is unlikely to participate in the awards ceremony with weapons, but this time it is a kind of festival called a competition.
 Moreover, the emperor was not allowed to participate in the awards ceremony directly on the stage, but was allowed to carry weapons because he was from a distinguished guest seat.
 But the emperor doesn't think that his friend, Noise, is harming him, and it's clear that if Ray tries to attack him, Noise will destroy him easily.Furthermore, if some mistake had prevented Ray from attacking, it was obvious that a nearby bodyguard would prevent him from attacking, and that even if it was impossible, he would shield himself.
 Therefore, as emperor, it's just the right thing to do to show that you trust the winner and runner-up of a competition.

"""Rank S Adventurer Immovable Noise, Winner of Fight Tournament, Forward"""

 a voice different from the one I mentioned in the actual situation The noise on the stage sleeve, standing side by side with Ray, follows the voice of the aristocrats who may have changed to proceed with the ceremony.
 Head straight to the center of the stage. It's a place where the management committee is assembled with so‐called executives.
 The noise that comes before them stands silently.
 the spectators buzzing at the sight
 Normally it was the flow of ceremonies to bow and kneel down to the emperor in the guest room, but the noise stood still to the emperor... to look at his friend Trajist.

"Noise, it's in the presence of the emperor. Get down on your knees."

 The steering committee in the middle of the stage says so, but the noise is just staring at the truist.

『……』

 The audience, who were initially buzzing about the noise attitude, gradually fell silent as if to wait and see what happens.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

 Such silence lasted for about a minute. Breaking it was the delightful laughter of the emperor, Trajist himself.

'Your Majesty!'

 The voices of the aristocrats who were entrusted with the ceremony echo, but the trajist laughs without seeming to care.
 Then, perhaps satisfied with a good laugh, he turned his eyes to the noise and opened his mouth.

There are only three Rank S adventurers in this world. You're a stranger, so to speak. That being the case, there is no need to bow to the Emperor."

 The words were true and false.
 It's true that noise is an outsider, but it must have been uninteresting for Trajist to make his friends bow.
 At any rate, nobleman can blame noise for his behavior, as long as the phrase "allow" comes from the trujist's mouth.
 The aristocrat, who thinks he will only make his lord angry if he says any more, opens his mouth to the noise.

Noise, the winner of the competition. What do you want as a prize for winning the championship?'

 silence
 Those in the arena couldn't imagine what Noise would want as a prize for the competition.
 Honor? When you reach Rank S, you already have the greatest honor.
 Gold? You earn a lot of money in the process of becoming a Rank S, and you can earn as much money as you want.
 Sergeant? I didn't think anyone who reached the rank S level would bother to serve himself.
 Woman? It was obvious to everyone that noise was not the case, although you might want it to be normal.
 Magic items? People around me expected this to be the most likely.
 Noise certainly has magic items such as magic swords that can wear many attributes on the blade and armor that he still wears. But I think you'll still be looking for more powerful magic items.
 ...if this was Ray, who had a hobby of collecting magic items that could be used in action, that idea might have been right.
 But the noise turns to the emperor's trajist in the VIP seat without saying a word.
 The gaze is filled with the intention that you know what you're looking for.
 And in fact, Trajist knew what his friend wanted. Stimulation. That's another stimulus worth risking your life.
 Now noise is hungry for excitement because it has reached the level of Rank S.
 In that sense, it's fair to say it was a payoff to play against Ray in the final.
 Eventually, the aristocrats and the audience began to make noise when they realized that they were talking through each other's eyes... the silent exchange of eyes might have ended the mutual agreement, but the noise began to speak.

"I'd like permission to explore the Mystery,"

 Words that come out of the mouth of noise make people buzz.
 The Devil Mountain. It is one of the most remote mountains in the Vestian Empire. It is said that there are even Rank B, Rank A, and even Rank S dragons.
 It's a place similar to the magical forest Ray awoke in this world.
 In fact, Ray also anticipated it as he listened to the story on the stage sleeve.
 There is no point in someone who is already half‐hearted in seeking stimulation. That's what Ray has to do.
 I can't believe there are so many of them, and I can't fight against other Rank S adventurers.
 But... if it's a pile of demons, there are monsters who are strong enough to take their own lives.
 Trajist eventually nods back to the noise he was told.
