225 Episode 225 "I thought about the purpose of the" martial arts tournament "and the cancellation of the" contract "".txt (2/2)

But if it's for the organizer's convenience that they gave you the armor and sword, there's no need to make a 'contract'. All you have to do is give them a normal ”Please use this to fight” and that's it.

And on top of that, if he loses before the semi-finals, he'll be ruined for breach of contract. It's not worth it by any stretch of the imagination.

Could it be that Tanaka-Coga ...... is being cheated?

...... You know what, Tanaka-Koga.

What the f*ck?

'I think you're making a 'deal' that you don't need. Why don't you give me my sword and armor back right now and run away ......?

My words caused Tanaka-Coga to ponder for a while.

Then, a good few minutes later──.

...... I think you might be right.

Tanaka-Coga nodded.

''That's great, man. That's what I'm talking about - he's from the same - as me. I promise to do just that. It's not just a matter of time before we get to the end of the year.

Add two more conditions.

I said, holding up two fingers.

Tanaka-Coga tried to attack Rita and Leticia as a group. I think the two of them would have won even if they fought - but it's too dangerous to just let them go, like before.

''First of all, 'You're not going to tell anyone about us.'

Okay, okay. I'll do that.

One more thing. ”Quit being a brave man and have nothing to do with the royal family or the nobility...

...because...

Tanaka-Koga's face paled.

This guy was being used by the nobles because of his too strong desire to be brave. All along.

If the 'contract' set up by the 'God of Contracts' was to limit people's desires, then Tanaka-Koga should stop here.

''............ All right. I'm going to quit being a brave man ...... and stop getting involved with the nobles, too.

After a while, Thanaka-Koga said so and took out the 'Medallion of Contract'.

After that, Tanaka-Koga and I made a 'contract'.

Originally, Tanaka was going to take the weapon and armor and throw it out. However, that would mean that he would continue to be used by the nobles and would continue to run amok.

You can always stop him as long as you have a ”contract” with him. I thought that was a good idea.

Another thing - while I was trying to convince him, I had a skill that had been awakened in me. Now, I'm more interested in that, too.

''Contract cancellation level 1.

Skill in ”teaching” how to ”terminate” a ”contract

This skill was awakened while I was teaching Tanaka-Koga how to terminate the contract.

I can kind of understand why it was awakened.

Until now, I was using 'Contract' with the premise that it was cancelled.

When I cancelled Rafilia's Misfortune Skill, I was actually planning to free her from slavery as soon as possible, and when Laetitia was invaded by the Skill Contamination Skill, I made a temporary contract with her to remove the Contamination Skill.

And this time, I pointed out the deficiencies in Tanaka-Coga's contract and taught her how to terminate it.

Apparently this skill was awakened as a result of all those things.

''But ...... this skill is ...... bad.

The Contract is related to the roots of that world.

A skill that teaches you how to unlock it - and if you make it a cheat skill...

Maybe we can compete with the people who are creating the blackness of this world.

But that will have to wait.

We're going to free Tanaka-Koga, move to another place, and then...

Nagi...!　I've finally met you.

Rita, as if she couldn't hold back anymore, hugged me.

”Hee hee hee. I'm sure you'll be able to find it. It's been a long time.

What, Rita?

...... nudge.

Rita's beast ears are twitching.

'Master's loyal slave, Rita-Melpheus, is lacking in the 'stroking component'.

......?

I flicked my fingers over Rita's animal ears.

I hadn't felt that in a long time. It's soft and feels so good to the touch.

I feel like I can stay like this forever.

I'm not going to be able to go to ....... Happiness ......

...... I didn't see anything.

...... I didn't see anything, either.

...... Aine has a reference.

Letitia and Cutlass turn around and Aine is staring at us gunning for us. 'Okay.

'So, so Nagi-san. Since you've joined us, do you guys want to go back to Ilgafa?

'That's the thing: ...... Actually, the Lord of Ilgafa asked me to do something for you.

To be precise, it was a proposal that Iris and I discussed with the lord, and to be precise, it was a suggestion we made to him as an accompaniment to this luxurious tour.

In fact, we were asked by the lord to create a 'Commercial City Metekal Martial Arts Tournament Report'.

”Report?

Even over there, we've had some 'gunball heroes' who drank potions and stuff like that show up. They asked me to see what's going on, as far as I could tell.

However, I was told not to take it too far.

The part of the report that can't be shown on the surface will be used as Ilgafa's data, and the bland part will be sold as the 'Martial Arts Tournament Experience'. If it sells, we will also receive some profit.

''Rita and Leticia also had a hard time getting information. We can't let it go to waste.

I said, and Rita and Letitia smiled wryly.

''Sounds interesting. Let's investigate the whole situation and behind-the-scenes of this 'martial arts tournament' event,'

Information is a weapon. With our research and Nagi's wisdom, we can dismantle this suspicious event.

Both of them are determined to continue the investigation.

If everyone gets serious, the report will become a ”secret document” that can't be released to the public. If the report is accidentally leaked to the whole town, it would be enough to blow up the martial arts tournament itself.

Of course, I intend to manage the information properly.

I'm going to look into it for both pleasure and profit. There will probably never be a second time in your life that you'll be here. I'm going to find out what's going on in this neighborhood, in this city.

「「「「 ryokai!!!! 」」」」

That's why the ”Martial Arts Tournament Investigation Team” was formed...

But first, ...... Aine, please.

Yes, sir. Activate!　'Sister's Treasure Chest'!

As I signaled, Aine took out a sword and shield from the storage skill 'Sister's Treasure Chest'.

''I've been entrusted with the sword and shield from the saintly lady for Leticia. ''Yes.''

”For me?

Perhaps Letitia is the saint's favorite?

”...... Saint Delilira, a saint, is giving me

Letitia is surprised, sword and shield in hand.

Then she looks up with a snap.

'Then we must live up to our saint's expectations. Nagi-san, I need to ask you to do something for me.

...... yeah?

'I would like to examine the effects of this sword and shield. Will you accompany me?

All right, but we have to go back to the inn and rest. But we'll come back to the inn and rest.

Yes, sir.

Then we went back to the inn where Iris was waiting for us and slept for a while.

The next day, we decided to investigate the effects of the holy woman's items.
