“Hey, hey, don’t bully my subordinates too much.”
A man speaks to me from behind in a light tone.
The person I’ve seen the most in the forty days since being thrown into the Colosseum, besides Caz—it was Obrul.
Seriously, even though he’s just a staff member, he’s acting like he’s the most important person here.
“…Well, if the Colosseum gets completely wrecked, it’ll be a pain in the ass. As you’re probably thinking, I’m Marcus Cornelius Obrul, the one who manages and operates this Colosseum.”
Obrul scratches his mohawk and introduces himself sheepishly.
If I remember correctly, in the Romania Empire, when a slave is freed, they take their former name as their surname.
So, Obrul is probably a freed slave.
Well, that doesn’t really matter.
“I see. Then tell me about the woman who claimed to be a comrade who put me in here.”
“Technically, handing over personal information about someone I made a deal with is a matter of trust, you know?”
“It’s too late for that. I could just stay silent, but in that case, I can’t promise I’ll be able to stop them.”
I glance at Sandra and Monica, who look like they’re about to jump out, and say it with a bit of a playful tone.
The moment Obrul shakes his head, the Colosseum will probably turn into rubble…
“Alright, alright. I’ll tell you.”
Obrul, putting on a gesture of surrender, tells me about the woman in detail, looking somewhat amused.
Forty days ago, late at night, that woman came to the Colosseum wearing a hood and leading a huge man carrying me.
According to the woman, she said, “He defiled my Precious Thing. That’s why I’m abandoning him and want him to see hell here.”
Obrul asked the woman about her identity, including mine, but she refused to answer. Sensing something suspicious, Obrul tried to refuse the deal.
But… Obrul had no choice but to accept me.
Because.
“That woman threatened me. She said, ‘If you don’t accept him, I’ll tell Ariana Nomades that Despina Nomades is here.'”
“Ariana… Nomades?”
“Yeah. Despina’s younger sister, who’s over there.”
“…………………”
Hearing Obrul’s words, I turn my gaze to Despina, who bites her lip and looks down.
It seems like there are various circumstances.
It’s probably related to what Obrul told me the other day, about the Nomades Kingdom being destroyed, Despina becoming a slave, and her sister living a contrasting life as a symbol of the Nomades people.
“Judging from that look on your face, you probably have some idea, but to explain it explicitly, Despina being a slave is her sister’s doing.”
“I see…”
Whether it’s to protect the Nomades Kingdom or because she wanted to save her own life, I don’t know the reason, but her sister Ariana must have offered her up.
“So, why are you hiding her, Obrul? Normally, she’d be like a plague god to you, right?”
“…Well, even former slaves have a sense of duty.”
Obrul looks up at the sky and answers somewhat sadly. I don’t know the circumstances, but there must be something that makes this man want to save Despina.
Even if he’s doing it in his Hyahha form, it ruins the atmosphere.
“There’s still something I don’t understand. What was your purpose in making her fight a Demon Beast in the match two days ago, when you’re hiding Despina? No offense, but one wrong step and she could have been seriously injured.”
“That Demon Beast is a follower of the woman who brought you here. She left it here to monitor whether you… no, whether I was doing anything unnecessary.”
Obrul grimaces and spits out the words.
It seems like it was a nuisance to this man too.
“So, yeah. That Demon Beast faithfully followed the woman’s orders, but it’s just a Demon Beast after all. Once it realized it could eat humans, it readily agreed to the duel.”
“Still, making her fight Despina is…”
“What are you talking about? There’s no way Despina would lose to a Demon Beast like that.”
Obrul says confidently, but from my point of view, there wasn’t that much of a difference in skill.
I don’t know, I think he’s underestimating her a bit.
“Well, whatever. So, even though it was in a duel, you got rid of the follower of the woman who kidnapped me. I’m sure that woman will tell Ariana about Despina.”
“That’s what I’m worried about… Also, I never thought you were the real Prince of Dehauvalz. I feel like I’m going to be in deep trouble from that side too…”
As he says that, Obrul sends me a fleeting, ingratiating look.
There’s absolutely no demand for a Hyahha’s gaze, and I’d rather refuse it.
Well, but.
“For me, coming here has been fruitful. I don’t intend to do anything to Obrul or the Colosseum. And.”
“…?”
“Despina can’t stay here either. So, it would be better to move her to another place. A place where that Ariana can’t interfere.”
“!?”
In other words, that’s what it means.
Even though she’s an event boss, I can’t just stand by and watch a character from “EnHaza” suffer an unfortunate fate. I’m a heavy user, you know.
“A-Are you sure…?”
“Of course. Besides, events… cough cough. This isn’t the first time I’ve done something like this.”
Caz, who is also an event boss, is my partner, and Themis, the administrator of this world, is here too.
Despina seems calm and has common sense, as befitting a former princess, so there’s no problem at all.
“That’s why, Despina, I look forward to working with you.”
“Y-Yes…”
Despina strongly grips the right hand I offer and looks down.
Well, she looks about the same age as us, so it might not be bad to have her spend time as a student at the Royal Academy… wait.
“Fufu… Ufufufufu…!”
Uh, um… why are Sandra’s eyes shining red?
“Prince Harold, please be careful. Young Lady’s jealousy is breaking through the heavens.”
“Eeeh…”
It seems my wife won’t even allow me to shake hands with a girl.
It’s tough having a jealous wife… but I don’t think so. I rather want it.
“Well then, shall we go home?”
“Fufufufufu… I’ll have to lock Lord Hal away as soon as we get back so that no one can touch him.”
“Let’s stop doing that.”
I desperately try to appease Sandra, who is grinning.
It’s nice that her love is heavy, but it’s reaching a level where it’s causing actual harm.
