I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 418 - That's my Black History, You Know!?

Moving away from Kuro and arriving at the goal where Megiddo-san was waiting for me, I was greeted with loud cheers.

A storm of voices shook the air, many of them in praise of me. It feels kind of strange, itchy, and yet, heartwarming.

[……It’s my loss, Kaito. It was a good fight. I give you my thanks.]

[No, it’s me who should be thanking you instead. Thank you.]

Shaking hands with Megiddo-san, who is in his humanoid form, we praised each other for the good fight. Somehow, I kinda like this kind of thing…… After giving it your all, shaking hands with the person you fought against.

I didn’t belong to an athletic club in junior high and high school, so this was just my imagination, but maybe this is what they call youth…… I’m already 21 though……

[Speaking of which, Megiddo-san. I heard from Bacchus-san, but “what is it that you want to teach me”?]

[Ah~~ that’s right. I’ll tell you all about it…… a little later at the party.The party starts at 8 p.m. ……Until then, enjoy the festival again.] ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by No(v)elFire.net

[H- Huhh…… I understand.]

In the end, it seems that I will know Megiddo-san’s intentions at the evening party…… I mean, that party, is it already decided that I will be attending? I guess it’s already decided huh. Yes, yes, I know already.

Well, I was first in line thanks to the perks of being a Black-rank, but there might be others that will challenge Megiddo-san, so I guess it’s sort of reasonable that he would say it later.

As I was thinking about this, the race course that had been prepared for the arena disappeared and the arena returned back to normal.

{ It was quite the heated three-game match. Congratulations for the splendid victory, Challenger Kaito-san! Well~~ That was a wonderful fight, wasn’t it, Fate-san? }

{ Kai-chan was so hot and cool at the end there~~ Kai-chaaaan~~! It’s me! Take care of me!!! }

{ A- Ahaha…… Errr, well then, let’s give a big round of applause to our challenger, Miyama Kaito-san! }

……Fate-san, you just don’t change at all. Even so, could you stop saying that line with Loudspeaker Magic!? It’s super embarrassing!

{ Now then, a battle had just ended but…… there’s still a big battle ahead. }

{ ……It’s about to begin huh. }

……Unnn? Arehh? What’s with this tense atmosphere?

{ Now then, the battle that is about to occur…… I suggest that all weak-willed people evacuate. You might really die if you remain in the premises when it occurs. }

{ ……This is bad, the rising killing intent is different from the battle just now. }

With the sound of rumbling earth, explosive magic power blasted out from everywhere, shaking the arena. As if an earthquake was happening, cracks began to appear all over the arena.

Eh? Wait a moment? The heck is this…… What the heck is about to happen!?

{ ……Well then…… The “rock-paper-scissors tournament with Kaito-san’s Clay Sculpture as the prize” starts!!! }

At that moment, a number of shadows flew out into the arena.

Kuro, with black smoke-like magic power leaking out of her body, Isis-san, with her bluish-white magic power of death spreading around, and Lillywood-san with a tired expression on her face.

There’s also Shiro-san, quietly making her entrance, but her body was clad in her shimmering magic power, Chronois-san, who had the same expression as Lillywood-san, and Life-san, who has a serious expression on her face.

In the midst of this arena, looking like a cage filled with fierce beasts, Chris-san and Laguna-san fearlessly entered too. Eden-san also descended from out of nowhere.

……No, wait a moment there! Isn’t everyone being too serious!? Oh no, this is really going to destroy the world……

{ Everyone is quite motivated. The tournament is also open for the general public but…… it’s seriously dangerous, so please participate with caution. }

{ Hey? No-chan. I’d like to join too…… }

{ We will be participating here, Fate-san. I will also participate in the tournament while giving my Live commentary. }

{ I see, got it! }

No, no, seriously, wait a moment there! Everyone’s so motivated…… The prize is just that “sad creature”, you know!?

Or rather, please give me a break…… Why the heck are all of you fighting for my black history? Wouldn’t it end up being hellish for me no matter who won……

{ Ah, yes, yes. What about you, Kaito-san? Are you going to participate? }

[…..I’m participating.]

In this case, I don’t have any choice but to win at all costs and recover my black history myself……

{ ……Is that alright? You need to be able to “change your hand at least a thousand times per second” at the very least to be able to compete with the others…… }

[……The heck is that, that’s scary.]

Was rock-paper-scissors really such a monster competition? Or perhaps, it’s just that the participants are abnormal?

As I was stunned by Alice’s words, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kuro and Isis playing rock-paper-scissors, as if they were practicing.

……It feels kinda strange though? Why does “the tip of their elbow disappear” when they’re about to swing their hands down? Why the heck does playing rock-paper-scissors “make a crater in the ground”?

[Ohh…… That sounds like a great game! Alright, I will also jo……]

[Megiddo?]

[……Ah, no. On second thought, I’m actually not going to join.]

Megiddo-san, who was a battle fanatic, tried to join in the match but…… after Kuro glared at him, he immediately sat up in a seiza.

It seems like Megiddo-san is very obedient only to Kuro.

No, putting him aside……

{ Well then, I’d like to get the tournament started but…… I’d like to warn everyone that “anyone that makes a move that wipes the arena” will be disqualified, so please take note of that. }

I’ve never heard anyone making such a warning in rock-paper-scissors before though!? No, I guess what’s abnormal is that there are so many people here who can do exactly that!

And thus, the battle with Megiddo-san ended…… and the rock-paper-scissors tournament of monsters began.

Dear Mom, Dad————- A problem came right after one ended…… It may not exactly be fitting, but I didn’t expect that an outrageous situation like this would happen. Moreover, the thing they’re fighting over ————- That’s my black history, you know!?
