Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 171

Allen-kun's partic.i.p.ation in the blue qualifier has begun.
Thanks to grandfather's action, we can cheer for Allen-kun.
There's hundred people, and many have big physiques, so it's difficult to spot Allen-kun.

Hmm, I wonder where he is?
So far, the qualifier seems to be made up from numerous one-on-one fights.
Well, it was written in the rules that ganging up on weak partic.i.p.ants is a foul play, I feel it would be a lot of trouble with so many people.

Watching the fight, people who fainted or are otherwise unable to fight, are promptly removed from the area.
The ones who are doing that are people covered with pitch-black clothes.
… Um, I think they'd be unnoticeable in the dark.
But right now it's midday, their presence is impressive.

The pitch-black people respond immediately once somebody collapses.
It seems they work in pairs, carrying people by their arms and legs.
Afterwards… Yup, they're left alone.
Well, as the people who need to be carried increase one by one, they won't make it if they don't do that.

Other people are taking care of the injured.
But because these aren't significant injuries, they simply have water poured on them from a bucket.
They have it rough in various ways.

Now then, it seems in the meantime the number of people fighting has significantly decreased.
There are about thirty people left now?

Ah!
Found Allen-kun.
Allen-kun is squaring off against a person with considerably better physique than his.
I can't understand their conversation from here, but somehow, I understand their expression.
His opponent is completely looking down on Allen-kun.
Somehow, he seems to be making fun of Allen-kun, he's making gestures like 'come hit me'.

… Ah, Allen-kun punched him to meet his expectations.
His opponent was blown off splendidly.
Watching him for a while, he didn't stand up.
He was carried away by the pitch-black unit promptly.

Perhaps, others took notice of their exchange just now, as they approached Allen-kun.
Three people seem to be after Allen-kun.
Well, Allen-kun isn't weak, so ever if three people surround him, it won't be a rules violation.

"Hmm, are those three accusing Allen of cheating? It seems they're pressing for an answer."

Grandfather said such a thing.
That's to say, grandfather can comprehend their exchange from here clearly?
As expected.

"Allen wouldn't do such a thing. He's saying he doesn't mind and wants the three of them to come simultaneously."

At the same grandfather said that, all three simultaneously closed in and attack him.
Allen-kun nimbly stepped backwards to avoid, in one breath he closed the distance, and floored one, two, three people.
Well, if you don't observe Allen-kun's ability properly, that's it.
Only ten people remain this far.
It's almost the time to settle it.

Just like the three idiots before, once again three people challenged Allen-kun.
The three seemed to speak something to him… and from what I could see, Allen-kun charged during their speech.
Then those three were splendidly blown away and withdrew.

'End of the match!!'

It appears the four people have been decided.
Of course, Allen-kun was among them.
Allen-kun came to our place at once.

"Allen, congratulations! As expected, you're strong."

"Allen, you did well! You truly are my younger brother."

I and Ange-san congratulated Allen-kun with a smile.

"Thank you. But, I've still got a long way to go. The opponents I fought were nothing but small fries. Remaining four are obviously stronger than others."

It's like Allen-kun is saying he's strong.
I don't mind as I was watching him.
Then, grandmother

"There certainly is a person from Vijia house. I wonder if it's the child with bright red hair?"

said that.
When I checked the place where Allen-kun was a while ago, certainly there was a person with bright red hair.
With a quite large build, and bright red hair he's like a lion.

"Yeah, I see. That one with red hair. Although he's quite large, during the fight he was knocking his opponents with the bare minimum of movements. I felt the partic.i.p.ants avoided that person."

I see, perhaps he's a big favorite of this tournament?

"Because Vijia house has been producing representatives for generations, they're also favorites this time. There were various things regarding this tournament, partic.i.p.ation categories aren't divided for once. It looks like our generation and the king decided that because you're partic.i.p.ating. Fufu, there are expectations placed on you, Lillina and the rest of you. That's why, fight to your heart's content."

Just now, didn't you smoothly say something strange? Grandmother.
Eh, because we are partic.i.p.ating the categories aren't divided?
Hm? Because we couldn't fight if the representative selection was separated from general entry… How much do they love fighting?

"Apparently, they want their children and grandchildren to experience the same shock they felt?"

No, I am not an attraction.
