Breaking Off the Engagement… Bring it on! 184

Natural outcome

The match venue is completely silent.
Because ‘I’ who’d displayed overwhelming strength a while ago collapsed.

“… Fu… Fu fu, a, ahahahaha! Did it… I did it! As I thought, this I is the number one. Hm, hmph! What could you do with such a thin body?”

In front of me, Yulo is making a face like she’s proud of her victory… I think.
She must believe she’s completely won.

“Now, please declare victory soon. I don’t want to waste time in such a place.”

She’s saying whatever she wants.
… Yup, it’s about time.

 

“This is… The, the winner is, Yummm!”

I vigorously stood up and covered the referee’s mouth.
I’d be troubled if he declared Yulo’s victory.

“Eh?”

Yulo is looking at me with a face as if she’s seen a ghost.
Her face looks a little pale…

“Alright… Ara, excuse me. It was a little, improper, right?”

After all it was the effect of the poison, strength left my body a little… Yup, it came back now.

“Ara, your face has an awful color, Yulo-san? I wonder why are making a face as if you’ve seen something impossible?”

Fufu, me standing up seems to have greatly shocked her.
I guess she was absolutely confident about her attack.
I surveyed the scene keeping Yulo within my field of view.
… Ah, Allen-kun is being restrained by grandfather and Ange-san by grandmother.
Perhaps, they tried to come here as soon as I collapsed.
By the way, when did grandfather go over to Allen-kun?

 

“Wh, wh, wh….”

Hm?
I hear ‘wh’ being repeated in a small voice.
Looking in the voice’s direction, it was Yulo, who was at the edge of my vision, she’s pointing a finger here trembling.

“Why! How could you stand up! And doing it like it was nothing… M, monster, right, surely, that’s right. You are a monster!”

Eh~~, isn’t it cruel to treat a human as a monster?

“Treating a person as a monster, it’s too much. Besides, I collapsed for a bit, only I got up afterwards, to say something like that… It’s weird, isn’t it?”

From the audience’s point of view, it looked like I normally fell over from Yulo’s attack, of course it’s the same for the referee.
But, everyone should find it weird I was called a monster from that alone.
Well, it would really be over if Yulo thoughtlessly admitted to using poison now… But as expected she didn’t say that.
Besides, perhaps using poison in the tournament doesn’t count as a foul play.

 

“Because… it’s a powerful poison that will bury even a big bear without waking it up! As long as it’s not a monster, to live… much less to move like that is impossible!”

Ah, she said it.
The greatly agitated Yulo hasn’t noticed at all, but the audience and the referee are looking at her with disbelief on their faces.
Isn’t that right, in a sense she admitted her wrongdoings herself.
But, in her excitement, Yulo doesn’t pay attention to her surroundings…
I wonder if I should let her know gently.

“So, did Ange lost in the qualifier because of poison? You thought you couldn’t win with your ability so you used underhanded means, was it something like that?”

It’s just the right place to have her clarify Ange-san’s situation.
She will surely talk in her agitation.

“Khh! What I used in the qualifier against that child was a mere child’s play! However, what I used against you has the highest effect… How, why…”

She’s talking about something interesting~~.
Well then, I guess I’ll explain why it didn’t work.
Well, all in all it’s not a complicated story.

“Do you want to know the reason that much? Alright, I will explain. But, it’s a very simple story? In my country I received education of a fiancée candidate of a high-ranking noble. Of course, I’d be taught self-defense during it, right? Raising poison resistance was a part of it.”

My words seem unconvincing for Yulo.
She argued with a dissatisfied face.

“Poison resistance? Even if you have the resistance, everyone should be powerless against the previous poison!”

Hmm? Even if I’m told that…
Well, but thinking carefully about the poison resistance raising part of the queen education, the person in charge said ‘Lillina-sama already has considerable resistance’.
Certainly, there’s memory that the face of the person in charge cramped, maybe…
Well, for the time being it’s alright as it wasn’t effective on me.

“Even if you say that, what’s ineffective is ineffective… By the way Yulo-san, you told me in a loud voice you used poison… Is that alright?”

Moreover, she said it was a poison to bury me.
