Following.

【NoName】Community Residence.

On the long table in the dining room, the children get up early to make breakfast.

Although they tried hard to do better, given the current situation of the Community, these early days seemed too shabby.

But Asuka, Yao, and Sixteen Nights didn't care at all.

While chewing bread, Sixteen Nights looked at the birds, "Miss, ...... this dress?" ”

"Huh? Do you say this? ”

Asuka looked down at the big red evening dress on her body.

In terms of everyday clothing, it is still too flashy.

"This was prepared for me by the Black Rabbit, after all, I was only wearing a formal suit when I was summoned to Hakoiwa. I heard that this is the costume that the White Yaksha prepared for the Black Rabbit yesterday when he was a referee. ”

"Gifts that protect the body are also added." Yao added on the side.

After a pause, Yao said, "And the clothes have been altered, otherwise Asuka's chest will look empty." ”

"That sentence is redundant!"

"Ahaha-"

Sixteen Night laughed, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked in the direction of the restaurant door.

"-Speaking of which, according to the agreement, that guy from Yakumo should be wearing a yukata today, right?"

Asuka and Yao looked up at the same time and saw a glint in each other's eyes.

Da, da, da......

Through the door of the restaurant, the crisp sound of clogs stepping on the ground was heard.

"Whoa!"

After pushing the door open, the first to appear was the energetic black rabbit.

"I'm late to find a yukata that fits Yakumo-sama!"

With his hands behind his back, the black rabbit walked to the side of the door in one by one, and then came in with Asukina holding Esther.

Covering her mouth and smiling softly, Asukina set her eyes behind the door.

"Ink, hurry up!"

“…… Got it, got it! ”

Da, da, da......

Yakumo Mo who appeared at the door. He coiled up some of his hair and let it hang down, and he was wearing a moon-white yukata with a cherry blossom pattern, and the clogs on his feet with white split-toe socks made a "click" sound as he moved.

"That's a ...... A stunning view on earth! ”

"I actually lost to the boy......"

“…… Shh ”

"Yakumo-sama is very talented!"

"This kind of talent makes people not happy at all."

"Ah, I'm so proud to have such a beautiful husband......"

"Tomorrow!"

◇

After using it too early, Yakumo and the others began to walk towards the residential area where the [ForesGaro] community was located.

"Ahh Everybody! I was able to see it...... But- huh? ”

The black rabbit blinked.

In front of me, what should have been a residential area has become a forest.

"No, [ForesGaro] headquarters should be a different living area, and these trees are not—"

Ren carefully placed his hand on the nearest tree, and could feel a strange sensation as if it were a fetal movement.

"--Ghosted!"

Yakumo stepped aside and tore a piece of parchment from the trunk.

"Here, the contract paper."

【Bestow Tournament Name: Invasion】

[List of participants: Yakumo Mo, Yakumo Asuka, Reverse Return Sixteen Nights, Kuyo Asuka, Kasugabe Yao, Ren. Russell, Black Rabbit]

[Winning Condition: Destroy Jard lurking in the host's headquarters. Gaispa]

[How to win: Destroy with a special weapon designated by the organizer.] Except for the specified weapon, no other method can injure Jarde according to the "contract". Gaispa]

[Defeat Condition: Surrender.] or the participant is unable to meet the above victory conditions]

[Designated Weapon: Installed in the Tournament Area]

[Oath! Abide by the above rules, and under the Glory and Banner, NoName participates in the Gift Tournament]

【ForesGaro Seal】

"Tsk...... Couldn't any other means than contract hurt him? ”

Yakumo crumpled the parchment paper in his hand.

"Do you want to use this method to protect your life? Probably underestimating me. ”

"What does that mean?" Sixteen Nights came up and asked.

"It's very simple, if you want to defeat him, you have to use the weapon he gave you, and use the specified method. In other words, all of our abilities have been neutralized in this game! Tsk, is he really a tiger and not a fox? ”

"But we don't know what the designated weapon is?"

Jen frowned, a look of self-reproach on his face.

"It's all my fault. The rules of the competition should have been discussed yesterday, and this kind of competition that puts all the rights to set the rules to the organizers is a ...... for the participants."

"Don't worry."

Yakumo gently placed his hand on Ren's head.

"You've worked hard. I can see that. I'll take care of the rest. ”

"Young Master Ren, don't worry!" The black rabbit walked up with a pair of ears, "Since it says that it is a 'designated weapon', then it means that there must be at least a minimum hint, otherwise this is a foul, and there is a black rabbit who will never allow foul behavior!" ”

Pushed open the door. The contestants walked in.

◇

"Not a single one."

Yao, who was walking in the crowd, said suddenly.

"The smell of no one nearby."

"Huh? Is the dog also Yao your friend? ”

"Yes, about twenty."

Yao's gift is the ability to gain friends from beasts, and the more friends you have, the stronger you become.

"Don't you think it's strange? We are declaring war on the entire community of ForesGaro. But now there is no one on the other side, and according to the rules our enemy is only Jarde. Isn't this a one-man contest between our community and Jurd? ”

“…… Speaking of which, on the way, I had heard that Jarde seemed to have dismissed all the other members of the community. Black Rabbit said suddenly.

"When?"

"Last night."

Yakumo Mo, who was at the front, reverberated with the sound of clogs stepping on the ground.

The dense trees entwined around the entrance as soon as the people entered the gate, sealing off their retreat.

Beneath your feet, the brick-paved streets have been torn apart by the massive roots of trees rising from the ground, and the surroundings don't look like a habitable place to live.

I saw Yakumo walking directly towards the big house in front of him, which had long been entwined with countless vines, like an abandoned haunted house. Ren hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, wait! Why don't you look around first? Why don't you find a clue to the designated weapon? ”

"The clues are clear."

Yakumo turned his head.

"The contract says that the designated weapon is used to defeat Jard, and according to this statement, the only clue related to the designated weapon is the target 'Jard'. In other words, the clue was on him - at least near him. ”

"Pretty smart, huh?"

Sixteen Nights clasped his hands on his chest and laughed.

"Let's talk about it first, I will never make a move, after all, this is something you provoked."

"I don't need you to do it. It's good to watch it with peace of mind. ”

"But where is Jarde?"

Asuka looked around.

"He seems to be a tiger man, right? With such a large forest, it is possible for a tiger to hide anywhere. ”

"No—"

Yakumo Mo, and Yao, who didn't know when he jumped into the tree, looked at the big house in front of him at the same time.

"—he's in there."

"It's in the headquarters, it's just a shadow, but I see it." Yao said this and jumped down from the tree.

Her eyes had turned golden—like those of an eagle.

"Looks like you have an eagle friend too." Asuina smiled at Yao.

"Forget about the Kasuga Division, how did you find out?" Sixteen Nights looked at Yakumo suspiciously.

"Guess?"

“…… Shh ”

◇

Entering the lavish headquarters, Ren, Black Rabbit, Asuka, and Yao widened their eyes.

Sixteen Nights whistled with a "wow" sound.

Asukina took Esther's hand and looked ahead.

On a high platform. A huge tiger lay there and roared at the crowd.

Behind it, a silver crosssword hung on the wall.

"Sure enough, it's ghosted! Even Juld has been gifted by the Oni Clan! ”

Ren's voice was a little solemn.

"Vampires are a rare race on the east side, what the hell is going on......"

"Shh

Yakumo shook his head.

"Still thinking about seeing how this guy will react after defeating him, has he turned into an irrational beast?"

From the tiger's eyes, Yakumo couldn't see the slightest rational existence.

-- has completely degenerated into a beast.

"That cross sword should be the designated weapon."

Yakumo said this, opening the gap.

A silver cross sword that was originally guarded by a tiger. He pulled him out of the gap.

Sixteen Nights squinted and stared at the gap.

"This ability...... No matter how you look at it, it seems to have something to do with 'spatial movement'...... Did that big rock last night also get it this way? ”

Yakumo didn't answer, and the moon-white yukata didn't limit his movements at all.

With the ability from Gandalfr to use any weapon with ease. Armed with a cross sword, he instantly appeared in front of the tiger.

"Poof!"

The blade of the sword pierced through the tiger's forehead.

Before the blood splattered, Yakumo returned to his place.

"Hey...... I always feel that it is not worth the trouble to deal with such a tiger......"

◇

Soon after the end of the game, Hakoniwa issued an order for the disbandment of [ForesGaro].

The infamous ForesGaro, which specializes in kidnapping the elderly, weak, women, and children in other communities, and then coercing them into participating in the Gift Contest and defeating each other by various means to seize the other party's flag and honor, was disbanded.

Renzhong returned the stolen flags to their owners. At the same time, he announced his community's ambition - to defeat the Demon King.

[NoName], or benevolence. Russell's name began to be mentioned occasionally on the outermost layer of the east side.

This is the plan that Sixteen Nights proposed to Jen.

"I don't have much interest in this community, it was the Black Rabbit that attracted me to stay...... Ahem, well, that nasty guy counts as one, and the kindness you guys have for summoning me into this interesting world. ”

"But if you. If you don't keep me entertained, I'll leave. ”

"And aren't you determined to regain your honor and your banner and your lost companions? In that case, let's start with this contest with [ForesGaro] and start your fame, not the fame of your community, but yours as a little adult! ”

Ren remembered the words of Sixteen Nights, and at the same time they were sincerely grateful to Yakumo.

◇

It's night.

"What's wrong, Black Rabbit?"

In the community station, looking at the depressed appearance of the black rabbit who came back, Asujina asked with concern.

"The game has been postponed ......"

"Competitions? What competition? ”

"It's the previous [ThousandEyes] competition, and the prize was a very important companion of ours, but when I went to inquire with Lord Hayasha just now, I got the news that the competition was postponed or even terminated......

The black rabbit's ears wilted, and it looked very regrettable.

"Why haven't you ever mentioned it? What companions? ”

"She's a super beautiful blonde beauty! The skin is silky smooth to the touch, and it glows with stars when you take a bath! ”

"That's a real sight to behold."

"Yes, yes, that's the predecessor of the Black Rabbit, and he takes good care of the Black Rabbit's ......"

"Oh, I'm glad to hear you say that."

Everyone jerked out the window.

A beautiful girl with blonde hair stood there prettyly.

"Rei, Leticia-sama!?" (To be continued.) )
