In the midst of intense preparations, Estelle suddenly came to the side of Valudo and Vaji's group.

Because it is a divided faction competition, everyone sits in separate groups until the arena is set up. Although Varudo was very unhappy to see Waji, he also had to admit that no one in the Sword Serpent Gang was stronger than Waji except himself. Rather than turning into the Sword Serpent Gang and the Holy Book Society and being defeated, it is better to endure for the time being and let the Old Town team become the champion.

Of course! If conditions allow, Varudo will also defeat Vaji by the way. After knocking over the other groups, the enemy is Vaji. This is the legendary Wei Wei to save Zhao!

Varudo was proudly satisfied with his wisdom, not understanding that Wei Wei's rescue of Zhao did not mean that at all. (Note: The correct way to say this would be "Brotherly wall, outside against humiliation", but Varudo couldn't tell the difference.) ）

Among the people, only the support department is still struggling with who to let go. The Guerrillas, the Old Town, and the Karumun Consortium had all decided on their candidates, so they each rested in a corner.

At this time, Estelle's arrival always feels weird.

"Yo, Estelle-kun, are you here to find out our strategy?"

Vaji greeted Estelle with a smirk, and Joshua glared at him, who shrugged his shoulders and gave him a nonchalant look.

The provocative statement of using the probing strategy should be Waji's malicious intentions. The practice of deliberately speaking to Valudo to provoke his anger. Joshua was sober about this.

"Huh? That's guts. ”

Valudo deliberately lowered his head and rolled his eyes to glare at Estelle as he made a loud noise from the knife-loving crusher in his hand.

"No, I mean, I'm sorry. Hey, hey, I was a little excited. ”

Estelle smiled at them a little innocently.

Then the Old Town group fell silent.

"Haha, Miss, you're really interesting, isn't it pointless for you to apologize at this time?!"

Although Vaji was smiling, there was only a chill in his eyes.

Do you want to break the fighting spirit on our side in this way? I thought she was a naïve person, but I thought a lot.

Waji pondered in his heart, and his expression became sharper and sharper.

"How so? When I feel that the 'game' is used to decide the winner, I feel that it doesn't matter if I have grievances. If only I could show my strength and enjoy the game to the fullest! ”

Estelle said vaguely, as if she didn't understand what she was talking about. It can only end with a somewhat embarrassed and embarrassed smile. Joshua beside him also sighed weakly: "I said you, Astelle......"

Growing up with Estelle, Joshua grew accustomed to her rough nerves. I still remember a girl who called Estelle "a big-breasted woman", although it has a derogatory connotation, but in many cases there is really no way to refute this statement.

When Estelle said this, even Valudo felt a little deflated, but for the sake of face, he snorted heavily, muttered about the strange woman, and did not reply.

When it was Waji, the chill in his eyes dissipated a lot.

Seeing that Istelle was really just more natural, Waji felt that it was too ungraceful to be careless about other people's unintentional behavior.

On the other hand, the Support Section is holding an emergency meeting to decide on the candidates.

In the support section, Ellie, Theo, and Hoo are all types that are not good at physical activity, so they are excluded first, but even if these three people are excluded, there are four people from Lloyd, Randy, Yu, and Noelle. It is necessary to make a good decision on who will appear.

Randy's stamina is very good, while Noelle has good physical fitness, his armed guided machine gun has both a long range and a wide range, and the speed and endurance of swimming are no longer excellent to explain, it is simply a cheating-level physical fitness.

To be honest, Lloyd had given up on himself and was starting to think about how to select the contestants from among the three.

"Now, Lloyd. You're not trying to exclude yourself, are you? ”

You suddenly broke the silence of the support section's camp.

"Ah...... Ahhhh......h

Lloyd, whose mind was broken, could only admit it in a hurry.

Ellie, who was beside her, said a little weakly, "You're the captain of the support department, of course you have to play, right?" ”

She now somewhat understood Joshua's feelings, and thoroughly understood why You always liked to compare Lloyd to Istelle.

"yes, yes, don't care, be bold. We won't blame you for who you choose~" Randy said, seemingly affectionately hooking his arm around Lloyd's shoulder, then pulling him to his chest, and whispering in a voice that only two people could hear, "If you don't choose me...... You know. ”

"That's already a threat, isn't it? ……”

Lloyd smiled wryly and pulled Randy's arms away. Of course, this is just a joke, Lloyd doesn't pick Randy, and Randy doesn't do anything to him. It's just a joke made by Randy, and I hope Lloyd can make it easier.

"That'...... You, can you come with me? ”

Lloyd asked.

In every way, Yuki Tatsumi is far more than others.

Choosing him as a partner is the right choice. No one objected. Moreover, with the character of You, I should be able to reliably agree. Of course, it could also be a handsome sentence like "I don't have a reason to help you, but there is no reason not to help you" or something like that.

"No, let me refuse."

Unexpectedly, Yuki Tatsumi refused.

"Lloyd, I'm not suitable. You get the idea. ”

Lloyd smiled helplessly.

Yes, Lloyd understood.

If you team up with you, then you basically confirm your victory. There is no suspense. This guy's chain can definitely be far ahead to the end, and with his insight, no matter what traps are set by the people behind him, he can easily see through them. That's already cheating.

Yu's room for growth, in his own words, has come to an end. No matter how much he trains, no matter how much he trains, he can only maintain the status quo, not be stronger. Therefore, this kind of competition should make it better for people who have room to grow.

Lloyd understood this.

But...... That man's time is running out!

In any case, I don't want him to be a passer-by in my life like this.

I want to make more memories with him, I want to be recognized by him as a partner, I want to win with him......

Lloyd couldn't let go of his heart no matter what.

Rationality is one thing, sensibility is another.

People who are absolutely rational or absolutely sensual are happy, because they don't care about emotional and rational thinking, and they don't waver. However, Lloyd was just an ordinary person. Rational and emotional, this choice was too painful for him.

"Randy, can I ask you?"

In the end, Lloyd compromised.

The intention of this competition, Lloyd guessed a little, and the reason why it was so complicated was because he wanted to practice his response to unexpected situations. In other words, even though it's called a competition, it's actually a type of training.

So, it makes sense to go with someone who is familiar with the training. This way, you should have more experience to gain.

"Ah, I see. I'm sorry boy, but I'm sorry for your position. ”

Randy patted You's shoulder heavily, the force nearly dislocating his shoulder.

Randy's eyes radiated with compassion and determination. He was somewhat aware of it, swimming in his deteriorating body. And, better than Lloyd knew. Lloyd only knew that You told him that he would live to be 30 years old, but Randy clearly knew that his body, let alone 30, was a question of whether he could survive until the end of the year.

The personnel who will play are decided, and the arena is almost arranged.

The Rose Slave Fighters took great pleasure in dismantling the makeshift ring to make room for them, and the four teams drew lots together to decide the order.

The Old Town Group is the first, the Guerrilla Group is the second, the Support Section is the third, and the Karumen Foundation is the fourth.

In this game, the order is not the decisive factor, everyone is at the same level, so it is difficult to leave the opponent far behind, and even if you throw away the distance, you have to go back to the starting point.

So while the first will have an advantage, it won't be too big. None of the people offered to do it all over again.

"So, it's okay for me to be the starter, right?"

Ellie volunteered to get the starting pistol.

"Wait a minute! Give it to me, wait a minute! ”

There was a hurried voice in the distance, and I saw a woman in a beige coat rushing over, and behind her, a purple-haired man in a white shirt who looked like a newcomer in the workplace followed her with a camera. Both were sweating profusely.

"Hey, hey, hey! The main character arrives! ”

The man in the beige coat was journalist Grace. She didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from her forehead before she made a declaration.

"The main character?"

Valudo was a little confused.

"Miss Grace?"

Lloyd was also very strange.

"I say! BOYSandGIRLS, what do you want to do fun? Let me do the same! ”

Grace said, smiling a little mischievously, regardless of the purple-haired newcomer who was still bending over and panting, pulling his tie and dragging him to his side, making a cool double pose.

"Fan announcer & fan photographer, see you!"

“…… Spare me, Grace Senpai............"
