Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 172

Now then, I wonder which color is next.
I want to fight, but this outfit makes me depressed.
Ange-san should probably feel the same, after wearing these embarra.s.sing costumes our feelings are always in sync… I want to believe that.
Ah, the tournament's announcer is saying something.

'Yes, to keep up the excitement, I believe it's time to proceed to the next qualifier! Next is the turn of everyone holding red strings. Everyone who has a red string, please come here!'

Red is next?
Then, it's Lute-sama's turn.

"Looks like it's red's turn. Then, I'm going."

Lute-sama doesn't seem to have any strange tension and is briskly walking towards the venue.
Ah, for the time being I should cheer on him.
I also cheered for Allen-kun.

"Lute-sama! I'm sure you'd be alright without cheering but… Please do your best!"

Ah, Lute-sama looked over here with an amazing energy.
Then, he quickly turned his head~ and began nodding impressively quickly, many times over.
Somehow, his gait felt light.
Mmhm, after all cheering is important.

Next to us having such exchange, Ange-san and Allen-kun were busy whispering something.

'That Lillinoneesama, she's as unconscious as ever.'

'Haa~~, it increased again.'

Both of you, isn't it a little rude to sigh while looking at me?
Besides them, grandfather and grandmother, even Sasuke-san are looking at me with similar expressions… What in the world happened?

'Now! Well then… Begin the qualifier!!'

Just like that, the red qualifier seems to have begun.
Just like in the blue qualifier earlier, the fallen players were carried out by the people in black clothes.
Well then, where's Lute-sama?
I easily found Lute-sama who's bigger than Allen-kun.
However, even if Lute-sama is big, there are many partic.i.p.ants at least as large.

Lute-sama seems to be against a person who approached him.
It seems his opponent chose people with physique inferior to his, he charged at Lute-sama without interruption.
Well, the result is he was sent back.

The number of partic.i.p.ants seems to have decreased considerably, I realized there's only about twenty left.
Until now, many people fought Lute-sama one on one underestimating him, but it seems his strength was finally noticed, about five people gathered and jumped at him.
Of course Lute-sama didn't flinch at such opponents, he threw those five at once.
Haa~~, as expected of him~.
I think I'm no match for that strength… but, I don't feel I'd lose easily.

Oh, it seems the fight has concluded.
Three people are standing besides Lute-sama.
Some women are also included.
… After all, they're wearing those wonderful costumes.
What's that, I can see various things when they move.

However, these women appear more trained than men.
With those muscular arms, I feel they could fight with demons bare handed.

Lute-sama, who's finished with the qualifier, came here.

"Congratulations! Lute-sama, that was amazing power."

My words made a broad smile bloom on Lute-sama's face,

"Thank you very much. Um… It was thanks to your support, Lillinsama."

and he told me that.
Bear-san changed into a large dog, I'm happy being told so with him looking like that.

'Here we go, the next round of qualifiers is starting! Next up are people with yellow strings. Those with yellow strings, please gather here!'

Oh, it's coming one after another.
Because it's yellow, it's Ange-san.
Honestly, I'm quite worried about Ange-san being thrown into it.
I don't doubt her abilities, just… Ange-san being in such a foul place gives me a sense of discomfort.

"Lillinoneesama, I will do my best."

"Yeah, be careful, okay? I know your ability, Ange-san, but I'm worried."

Before I finished, Ange-san jumped at me.

"Ah! Ange is so happy you're worried! Fufu, Lillinoneesama, I will do my best to spread your virtues!"

Having said so, Ange-san ran for the venue.
… What did she say just now?
Certainly it was about spreading my virtues or something.
No, no way! Is it another strange cheer!?
It seems what I'm worried about changed from a while ago.
W, what should I do if Ange-san is accompanied by large people once the tournament is over.

They'll have to be dispersed promptly!
I took my eyes off Ange-san for a moment.
… I've already lost track of her.
Ah! Where are you, Ange-san!
