I Was Reincarnated But I Don't Know Why Chapter 21

TL: Yuki

________________________________________________

Now then, although mom took me shopping, I don't really know what to look for.

Honestly, in my opinion, I think someone like him would be easily defeated in just a single punch if I put extra strength on it.

「Ara, Toto is there something wrong, it's for you to show a dissatisfied face like?」

「Nn~… preparing really big deal?」

「Of course, it is always important to be prepared for everything. Especially because Ornicsan will definitely try to use specialized tools, and I don't really want Tote to lose. You don't want to, right, Tote? 」

「right」

It certainly isn't good to lose at this point, but well it sure is true that my opponent this time overwhelmed his disadvantages against Virgilio-san san by using specialized tools, I need to at least take some precaution measures.

「Okay then, first we will go to a clothing store」

「clothing?」

What are we going to buy in a clothing store, seeing the clothes of both Benihansan and Etoile-san I understood that they have been something that they have worn for a while, it also wouldn't be a problem if I wore the clothes mom would buy, but well I don't really need to wear new clothes though.

As soon as we entered the clothing store, mom went to find Hankies, bandanas and other such types of clothes, not it's not clothes… I see it's for that purpose.

「If only normal size, will it be useful?」

「I'm thinking he might use it gain, so it's just a countermeasure in that case. It could also help not only for dust but some for some other tools too that have airborne effects」

I did only think about its main function, but I definitely should try various situations where I could use it.

「About gems, anything to counter?」

「Hmm, I can't think of anything, there is no precise counter to be exact since those gems may have different effects enchanted in them.  Toto, you did say that most physical attacks won't affect you, right? 」

「Nn, won't」

「How about magic?」

「Haven't tested yet」

「Hmm, then maybe a bandana would do, one that would probably help resisting it」

Mom then finds a nice looking bandana and handed it to me, but she then started thinking about something again.

「But maybe, the other party have also probably have taken a lot of measures…… now then, what to do」

「counters, troublesome?」

「Yes, of course, and our information is also in a blank state so we could only a.s.sume, I can't really think as to what set we will be needing 」

We then proceed to a pharmacy store, grabbed a small bottle of purple liquid, we then bought pills with the size of a candy.

「If you felt like something is wrong with your body, this medicine with purple liquid would delay effects of the changes and let be in a stable state for a while. The pills are medicine that would heal the state but I don't know what state it will be, so taking the purple medicine is much better and using the drug would be for when the state starts collapsing」

「Nn」

There isn't something like a drug that could immediately cure negative effects, only those that could recover for a bit. Well if there are such medicines, they would definitely cost higher than normal ones.

Reading what I was thinking of, mom answered what was troubling me.

「The purple medicine might only make the effects slow down only but it is applicable to a wide variety of effects, and also even the effects that couldn't be cured by the magic Panacea would be delayed」

「I see」

If I did use this, I won't feel any negative effects on my body, and I won't really need to single out was effect was applied to me, and even if I continue with the match until the end, I will have enough time before the negative effect could properly activate.

After confirming the vial of medicine and pills properly kept on my pocket, Mom held my hand again.

「It's just about time we get back, you still want to prepare things right, but if we don't return now then we won't have enough time」

「Nn」

When I returned to the arena, I split up with mom to go to the waiting room and mom went back to the entrance of the audience area.

「Well then ,good luck」

「Nn, will do my best」

She then went up the stairs after I show her a guts pose, it seems like mom isn't that worried anymore so I waved at her until she can't be seen from the stairs.

Now then, I wonder if this fight will end in seconds.

Well, I was also wondering what it will be like I got a little serious against people.

Above everything else, even if I got a little rough, the recovery magic used to recover might be able to save him.

If possible, I have really liked if it was Virgilio-san, and A Rank adventurer who fought against me, but such luxuries couldn't really be expected, because Ornicsan also won this match properly even if not the cleanest of ways.

「Are you done with your preparations?」

Being asked by that knight, I wrapped the bandana under my eyes. My looks don't really matter because I also admired how those western bandits looked on western movies.

When I got out of the waiting room and climb on stage, my presence seems to have excited the audience and I could hear a lot of voices cheering for me.

On the other side, Ornicsan also received a lot of praise for defeating someone on the level of Virgilio-san who was evaluated to be much superior than himself, there were also a lot of cheers for support.

When I stand face to face with Ornicsan, his look sharpened and the grip from his sword was much stronger than before. I wonder what countermeasures he has prepared against me.

Everything begins with light introductions as always, and then the referee raised his hands.

「Let the match begin!!」

Immediately after dropping his hand and the sound of the gong was heard, I jump stepped dashing straight to Ornicsan. There was a part of me who wants to do things a little seriously from this point on.

「Probability of rushing forward as the match starts, 95%」

He says that after forecasting what I would do first, then immediately throws something towards me as I approach which exploded in the air the moment I came close to it.

With a slightly delayed response from the object being thrown in front of me, a mysterious liquid spread but before contact I was able cover my face with my hands. It was good that I was able to close my eyes at the last moment.

This sure has a really irritating smell. It's not really impossible to open my eyes but it's a little scary, there are no damages but I don't know what I should do next.

Once I got rid of this annoying liquid, I think of the many ways Ornicsan would try to attack in order to beat me.

First conclusion is a penetrating attack. But if he did have such an attack, he wouldn't really need to use all those tactics when fighting against Virgilio-san in the first place, so that is out.

Second is poison or paralysis. Ornicsan seems to be handling them well so the possibility is high, but will actually have an effect on me? If I open my eyes now and felt nothing, then the probably of that affecting me is close to zero. I don't open it because I'm kind of scared.

There is also the possibility of making me consume it. But well, I am currently covering my mouth so that won't easily happen.

When I was thinking about it, I confirmed that he's stepping away from hi location because of me hearing his footsteps. Then at that moment, I thought of another possibility.

Third, it will be throwing me out of the ring!!

I decided that it was safe to retaliate now and moved to attack in a flash aiming at where Ornicsan's last footsteps were heard. But when I reached that place I heard a snapping noise at the place where I was at before.

「Tsk!」

I was thinking on my own that it was ok to ago on a.s.sault, so I didn't really thought about other things, but when I got to that point, I felt like something pa.s.sed by me for a moment so I also stopped.

After stopping, I immediately grabbed my bandana and pulled out medicine from my pocket and drank it.

The purple medicine tasted like mint, well it's with its color like that, it was very unimaginable that it would taste as such.

I was thinking that the poison used to attack me to block my sight was a type of delayed poison so I immediately used that medicine, and then I opened my eyes but my vision was slightly distorted and tears flowed out a bit. It is quite a weird sensation but I'm thankful that there was no sense of pain.

When I got a glimpse of Ornicsan who was still blurry in my vision, it seems like he was carefully moving around while checking on my reaction, so I quickly pulled out and swallowed one of the pills I have.

「Don't think that you've already won after just succeeding on one attack…」

I cannot suppress the tears that kept on flowing out because of the effect of that liquid as I screamed towards him while pointing my finger.

「I don't feel any pain from that you know!!」

「No, are you sure you are not just enduring it!?」

Looking at my condition, Ornicsan immediately retorted back. This person has a Tsukkomi attribute, and was now acting the same way when he fought Virgilio-san. Well, I doesn't really matter though.

By the way, Ornicsan might be thinking that I'm in a bad situation, but I don't really think that I'm in a pinch.

The bandana still has some of that irritating liquid absorbed in it so I've thrown it away. That liquid also caused some abnormal status and I was thinking that it would only worsen my situation if left behind.

I understand the general location of Ornicsan but because of the tears and constant blinking, the view became blurry and was hard to properly grasp his position, and if he used something else from this point on it would be rendered useless.

However, it's absolutely no good if I just wait for the tears to calm down.

So there's no other choice but to attack.

When I charged once more towards him to attack, he pulled something out with his right hand, then I felt like I was pounded by a stick… was that his sword?

The moment that sword-like something was out of his hand, powder was poured on my face.

「Ku, kuschu~!」[TL: Sneezing]

I have received a smash and powder shower, but there's not much change in my physical condition. It was thanks to the delaying medicine and pills.

「……you, that was delaying medicine after all!!」

He tried to escape why I was still sneezing, but that escape was meaningless. I did approach with the intention to crush him after all, and before he was able to escape I was able to land a successful blow, it was a firm hit like hitting someone's torso.

「Guhah!!」

My vision was still blurry, but I was able to catch a glimpse of him flying from the punch and rolled somewhere far.

I don't know where I exactly hit him but it definitely not in the head, and well it didn't seem that his torso got blasted off so it was fine.

Still suffering from the non-stopping tears, I looked around to confirm the situation. It didn't take me time to even wait for the tears to subside to confirm that the recovery magic activated.

「Winner, Toto」

It was confirmed that by the referee raising his hand and declaring that Ornicsan got blown away out of the ring and was fainted.

Raising my hand towards the audience, I declared my victory then slowly left the stage and returned to my waiting room.

The last thing to do tomorrow is to fight the knight commander-sama, and I will definitely get the final prize.
