"Wait...... Wait a minute! It's comfortable though...... But could you please take your hands off the black rabbit's head?! The black rabbit, whose face was slightly red when he was touched by Li Na, said.

"......" Li Na withdrew his hand a little unsatisfied.

"Rabbit in heat." The three of them said in unison.

"Not really! The black rabbit is very pure! Black Rabbit retorted loudly.

After a long time, the black rabbit coughed lightly, opened his arms and said, "Then is it okay?" Four digits. I'm going to talk about conventions, huh? Are you going to say it? Okay, then I've got it! Welcome to the "Hakoniwa World"! We've sent the four of you to participate in the Tournament of Gifts, which only those with extraordinary gifts are allowed to participate in, and we have summoned you! ”

"Gift Match?" The three of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, but Li Na was still expressionless.

"Yes! I think the four of you should have noticed, you are not ordinary people! That special ability is a gift from various Shura gods, demons, elves, or stars. And the Gift Contest is a competition held to compete with this Gift. It is a stage created for those who live in this world of Hakoiwa and have the power of great gifts to live a happy and twisted life! The black rabbit stretched out his arms and said to everyone.

Asuka raised his hand and asked, "Can I ask a preliminary question first?" By "we", do you mean a group of people that include you? ”

“YES！ In order for the blessed owner summoned from another world to live in the box garden, must join a large number of [guilds]?"

"I don't want to ......"

"Must join! The rules of the Gift Contest are simple, and the winner will receive a prize provided by the tournament [Organizer]. ”

"...... who is the [organizer]?"

"That's a lot! There are competitions held by the gods and demons of Shura in the name of testing human beings, and there are also groups that hold competitions alone to show the power of guilds. The former is often free to participate, but because the [organizer] is a Shura god and demon, it is often dangerous and difficult, and it may be life-threatening. But the returns are also relatively greater. Although it depends on the "host", it is not a dream to receive a high-level gift. ”

"The latter must prepare a bet to participate. In the event of a contestant's defeat, according to the rules, the bet will be counted as a donation to the guild where the [Organizer] is located. ”

"The latter is really vulgar...... What is the stake? ”

"It's also diverse. Money, land, rights, reputation, people...... Even gambling on bounty is fine. As long as you can take away the gifts of others, it is not impossible to challenge the stronger gifts competition. It's just that, if you fail – of course, you lose your own gift of betting. A shadow appeared on the black rabbit's touching smile.

In response to this provocative smile, Asuka also said in a provocative voice, "Really...... So can I ask one last question? ”

"Please speak?"

"How does the game itself start?"

"Except for inter-guild competitions, just register within the respective registration period! The shopping street will also have its own small-scale competition, so if you don't mind, please go and participate~"

When Asuka heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help but jump.

“……… So, I can think that the Gift Contest is the law of the world itself? ”

'Oh? The black rabbit couldn't help but be surprised.

"Uh-huh~ so sharp. But that's only 80 percent right, and 20 percent isn't. Robbery and theft are prohibited in our world, and there is also bartering with gold. Don't even think about using your gifts to sin! That kind of unscrupulousness

All of them will be punished—but! The essence of the Gift Contest is the complete opposite! Only the winner gets everything. Even if you put the goods on the storefront, you can get them for free if you win the contest held by the store. ”

"Yes. It's really barbaric~"

"Not really. It's just that the [organizers] are fully responsible for the competitions they organize. That is, if you don't want to do that, just don't participate in the competition in the first place. The black rabbit finished explaining and took out an envelope.

"Alright. The Black Rabbit, who has been entrusted with the summoning of you, has an obligation to answer all your questions about the world. However, it took time to explain it all, and Black Rabbit did not admit that the new alternate comrade would stay in the field for a long time. So for the rest of the questions, I'll think about our guild...... May I? ”

"Wait. I haven't asked any questions yet! Sixteen Nights, who had been listening quietly, screamed horribly and stood up.

The black rabbit, who noticed the disappearance of the light smile that had been hanging on his face, asked defensively, "......... What is the problem? What about the rules? Or is it about the competition? ”

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all, Black Rabbit. Now I ask you what the rules can change. Changing the rules of the world is the job of revolutionaries, not players. There's only one thing I want to ask...... It's what is written in the letter. ”

Sixteen Nights' gaze left the Black Rabbit and swept over the other three to the city, which looked like it was covered in a huge tent.

Sixteen Nights asked with a look of contempt for all things, "This world ...... Interesting? ”

“……”

The other two also waited wordlessly for Black Rabbit's answer.

Because in addition to Li Na, the letter summoned the three of them reads: "Abandon relatives, friends, property, everything in the world, and come to our 'box garden'"

So whether this price can be compared here is the most important thing for the three of them.

“——YES！ [Gift Match] is a game of gods and demons that only superhumans can do. My black rabbit can pat his chest to ensure that the world of Hakowa is definitely much more interesting than the outside world?"

On the other side, Perribed Boulevard, in front of Fountain Square.

A few children were playing in front of the steps that connected the outer wall of the box garden to the inner side.

"Ren~! Benevolence~! Benevolence! Sister Black Rabbit hasn't come back yet~" (The translation of the original novel seems to be called Jin En, but it's better to call Ren)

"I've been waiting here for almost two hours, I'm so tired~"

Jen gave a wry smile to his complaining friends.

“……… Yes, too. Let's go back first. I'm waiting here for new companions. Jen Russell, a boy with a fat robe and short green hair upturned, gave instructions to the children around him to go back.

"Then go back first~ It's hard to be the leader of Rendang, but you have to work hard~"

"I'm so hungry. Can I eat first? ”

"Hmm. But even if I go back late, I can't sleep too late~"

Separated from the young man and girl who were frolicking on the way home, Ren sat on the stone steps alone.

He was the only one left idle, staring blankly at the people passing by the outer door.

"I've heard that the country that has been created outside the box court has been active recently, but the Perribed Avenue is facing the "end of the world", so it's still very idle......

The "country" in the world of Hakoniwa is the common name for the super-giant guild. Although there is a clear "end of the world" in Hakoniwa World, it is said that its surface area is large enough to rival that of a star.

Therefore, people naturally do not leave huge resources and fertile land undeveloped.

Talented people gathered to build a country, and many of the untalented people began to leave the urban life of Hakoiwa shrouded in the sky.

The dragon clan, the ghost clan, the phantom clan, the elf clan and other countries have also built large-scale cities outside the box garden. Those who have lost their gifts are also serving in countries not far from Hakowa, and are preparing to participate in Hakoiwa's [Gift Competition] again.

'In case it is useless people from the outside world...... I'm afraid we'll have to give up Hakoniwa and move outside...... 'Ren thought silently with the expectation of his new companion.

Guilds that don't have the strength can't be the organizers to hold tournaments, or even participate in tournaments and win.

Recession to the point where it is impossible to sustain the group, which means......

The disappearance of the guild.
