……

After signing the "contract document", five people and one cat were instantly swallowed by the light.

Dimensional Warp then teleports the five to the palace gates, guiding them to the entrance to the Gift Tournament.

Sixteen Nights and the others, who were standing in front of the door, turned around inadvertently. The area around the White Palace has been detached from the box garden and floated in an unknown airspace. Here, it has become a place that is both in and out of the box.

"Is it disqualified to be seen? So, to assassinate Perseus? ”

Sixteen Nights looking up at the palace said excitedly. Jen replied

"In that case, Lucius should sleep like the legend. I don't think it's going to be that simple. ”

“YES。 Lucius should have waited in the deepest part of the palace. So the first thing to do is to raid this palace. We are not like the legendary Perseus, who does not have the Helm of Hades. So we have to plan carefully without the unseen gifts. ”

The black rabbit raised his index finger and explained. This contest is partly modeled after the legend of Perseus in Greek mythology.

If you can't reach the deepest part of the palace without the "organizer" seeing it, you will be disqualified without even having to fight.

Asuka confirmed the rules on the "contract document" and repeated it in embarrassment

"Whoever is seen will be disqualified from challenging the manager. And our coach - Renjun can't reach the deepest part and loses the qualification, that is, the participant fails. Then at least there are three ways to divide the troops. ”

Yao nodded. Originally, a boon game of this scale would require 100 people, or at least 10 people, to challenge, and at most only 10% would reach the enemy's manager.

But now, they have to challenge with just four people and a lazy cat who doesn't know if he'll make a move. The division of labor must be done well in advance.

"Hmm. First of all, it is to defeat the boss with In-jun. After that, there is the search for enemies, which can perceive and repel hidden enemies. Finally, it is to understand that you will inevitably lose your qualifications and use it as bait to attract attention. ”

"Kasugabe has a good nose. The eyes are also good. Leave the invisible enemy to her. ”

The Black Rabbit then proposed

"The black rabbit can only participate in the game as a referee, and Bai Chen's lazy battle ...... So the task of defeating the boss is left to Sixteen Nights. ”

"Ah, then I can only use it as bait to attract enemies?"

Asuka said with some displeasure.

However, she herself knew that her gifts were not enough to defeat Lucius. And more importantly, Asuka's bounty can be used to exert great power against an unspecified number of opponents. But if you understand it, you will still be dissatisfied. Sixteen Nights said to the somewhat awkward Asuka Bird

"I'm sorry, Miss. I really want you too, but there's no point in not winning the game. Whatever that bastard thinks, I should deal with it. ”

“…… Hum. Never mind. This time you're fine. But if you lose, I won't be able to spare you. ”

Sixteen Nights shrugged casually. And the black rabbit said with some uneasiness

"Unfortunately, it is not possible to win. If I'm not careful, I think the race will turn out to be very tough. ”

The eyes of the four of them focused on the black rabbit at once. Asuka asked nervously,

“…… That villain, is it that strong? ”

"No, Lucius isn't strong on his own. The question is the gift he has. If the Black Rabbit is not wrong, then the boon should be ......"

"His Majesty the Original Demon King, who belongs to him."

"Yes, the original Demon King...... Belch? ”

Hearing the addition of Sixteen Nights, the Black Rabbit was speechless for a moment.

But Sixteen Nights ignored her and continued

"If it were like the myth of Perseus, Gorgon's head could not have been in this world. After all, it has been dedicated to the god of war. Contrary to mythology, however, they can use the bounty of petrification. - Perseus, who was summoned to the box garden as a constellation. If so, it should be Alger's demon hanging around his neck, right? ”

“…… The demon of Arger? ”

Asuka and the others looked at each other puzzled.

The black rabbit froze in astonishment.

She was the only one who noticed the anomaly that summed up the answer.

"Sixteen Nights...... Aren't you, ...... know the secret of the Hakowa stars? ”

"Pretty much. At first, it was just speculation when he looked at the stars, and it was almost certain when he saw Lucius himself. Observing Alger's Star when it's okay later, locked in the answer. Hawkers, the equipment was taken from Bai Chen, and it wasn't difficult to investigate. ”

He hummed and smiled proudly. The embarrassed and stingy Black Rabbit stared at Sixteen Nights

"Could it be that Sixteen Nights unexpectedly belongs to the intellectual faction?"

"What are you talking about to this day. I was intellectually intellectual. It's the door of the black rabbit, which can be opened without a handle. ”

“…… No, no, there is no handle on it. It's just a door. ”

Black Rabbit calmly complained. Sixteen Nights, who recalled this, added

"Ah, yes. But with a handle, I can open the door without a handle. ”

“…… For reference, can you tell us how? ”

The Black Rabbit's gaze became slightly cold, staring at him.

At this time, Bai Chen, who was dozing off, suddenly shouted

"Meow, meow~"

The four of them stopped talking and looked at Yao at the same time.

Yao, who understood everyone's meaning, said, "Bai Chen said that everyone should wait a while. ”

Then Bai Chen first patted Yao's forehead with his paws under the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, and then jumped on the head of Sixteen Nights and patted it as well, and then everyone else was also patted on the head by Bai Chen with his paws.

In the end, Bai Chen, who had done this, jumped back on top of Yao's head, yawned first, and then shouted

"Meow Meow~"

"You don't have to worry about being seen, and so do the invisible enemies."

“?” ×5

"Meow~"

"It's just a little trick."

“……”

Seeing that Bai Chen didn't want to explain, he didn't have to worry about being found anyway, so he answered the question before the black rabbit, and stood in front of the palace gate with a smile.

"The way—of course it opens up!"

With a roar, he kicked the door of the white palace open.

……

This white palace has five floors. The deepest part is located on the top floor of the palace, and you have to go up a staircase to reach it. Although it is not clear how the "organizers" will be staffed, at least one staircase per floor will be ensured to move forward.

The Perseus knights, who heard the sound of the door shattering and knew the game had begun, began to act together.

"Seal off the stairs on the east and west sides!"

"Hurry up and monitor the location of the stairs in front of you!"

"There are four enemies, and there is a limit to the number of outcasts! As long as you deal with it calmly, you will be fine! ”

"This is a battle for our flag! You can't afford to lose! ”

With the order, the knights of [Perseus] began to act without confusion.

The competition with the headquarters as the stage is anything but simple, and they have an overwhelming position.

Not to mention that the victory conditions are very simple. You don't even have to fight, you just see the enemy.

Lucius, sitting on the deepest throne, had already felt that he had won. What was in his heart was not the game in front of him, but his anger at the subordinates who had given them the opportunity to challenge.

(hum...... That bunch of garbage. Allowing [NoName] to come to the challenge. )

No matter how obedient you are, you don't need such an incompetent waste in your community.

He said to himself in a terrible way, wait until the game is over and get them all out.

- But Lucius didn't know. I don't know that the enemy of myself is not inferior to those well-known heroes, and the most ferocious group in the world.

……

The hall in front of the staircase in front of the front has been caught in a big scuffle under the fighting of the birds. Originally, he was a knight who came to capture Sixteen Nights and the others who challenged him head-on, but he was blocked by the Mizuki, a gift possessed by Asuka.

Because now Asuka can only manipulate the water tree at best, and she who can only manipulate the water tree cannot play a role in the battle with the opposing commander-in-chief.

She stroked the trunk of the water tree. And the veins of the tree pulsed as if echoing her.

Obviously realized how to use his talents, but Asuka was full of dissatisfaction on his face.

Her biggest dissatisfaction is that she was born with the ability to manipulate the water tree at the limit now, and she can only exert the immature power of a chick that has just broken out of her shell. Instead of carrying the gifts from the treasure vault, she brings the lifeline of the community, also because only the water tree obeys her orders.

For Asuka with high self-esteem, the inability to control is also a source of dissatisfaction.

(But that's fine for now.) The rightful domination is only in the past. Without this frustration, it wouldn't be fun at all. In the future, you must allow yourself to have more miracles at your disposal)

Asuka exhaled softly. And the water tree attacked the knight as if in response. Her duty is to secure the road with bait. In that case, let's make a big fuss. Asuka flipped over her bright red dress and raised her right arm high on the obedient water tree.

Although the gifts used may hurt their companions, the game will not be exciting without it. So Asuka, in order to make it impossible for the knights to ignore themselves, decided to destroy the palace.

"Damn, why can't you see the enemy!"

"Leave that alone, the other party is obviously here to delay us. Those with the Invisible Gift will first go to find the other invaders, and if the other invaders can't see it, they will directly guard the entrance to the Commander-in-Chief and set up a barrier! ”

"It's coming from both sides! Knock them out together! ”

In Asuka's eyes, all those invisible enemies were clearly seen. Glanced around. Although the knights stepped on the boots of the sky, they did not touch the birds that freely manipulated the water trees to spew huge streams of water.

With the ensuing order, the water immediately struck the knight.

"Damn, why can the enemy see us with invisible gifts!"

"How so! Are we all going to be stopped here? ”

"Don't give up! There will definitely be a way! ”
