“So, did it help you at least a little?”
Obrul, who had come unnoticed, spoke to me as I watched Despina raising her hand and responding to the cheers.
That’s right. I came to watch her match in preparation for my match the day after tomorrow.
“Yeah, it was enough.”
“That’s good. This should make you last a little longer.”
He says whatever he wants.
If it were the “Jet-Black Shield Caspary,” it might be able to withstand Despina’s Lightning Attribute attacks, but if I were to block it with just a normal shield, I would undoubtedly end up charred like that Demon Beast.
In other words, in order for me to withstand Despina’s attacks until the very end, I have to do something about that [Pentagram Lightning].
To do that.
“…Instead of blocking it with a shield, I have to dodge every single shot.”
“Hal…?”
“Hm? Haha, it’s nothing.”
“Waa! Ehehe…”
When I stroked Caz’s head as she looked at me curiously, she narrowed her eyes as if feeling good.
That’s right. In order not to worry my partner, and in order to have her recognize me more as her partner, I can’t afford to lose in the match against Despina.
Looking at the smiling Despina, I clenched my fist with determination.
◇
“Munya… Monica, I’m full Nya…”
Sleeping comfortably on my stomach is my partner, Caz.
I’m glad she seems to be having a good dream.
The night has passed, and after one more night, it’s finally the match against Despina.
In today’s match, I was thoroughly shown her strength, but I don’t intend to just be defeated.
The defensive techniques I continued to hone with Sandra, and the other (….) power (..) I obtained after being thrown into the Colosseum.
When I completely master this power (.), I believe that even things that seem absolutely impossible can be done.
Staring at the ceiling of the Dungeon, I simulated the match against Despina in my head.
–Tap, tap.
“!!?”
The sound of footsteps approaching from beyond the iron Door.
Since I’m the only one in this Dungeon, the owner of the footsteps must have business with me.
“…Caz, wake up.”
“Nmyu… Halu, what’s wrong…?”
“It’s okay. Just hide in here quickly.”
Forcibly pushing Caz into my chest, I crouched down and waited.
It would be nice if it was Obrul who was coming, but if it was someone with malicious intent… in other words, the woman who threw me in here, or one of her companions, there’s a high possibility that I’ll be in danger before the match against Despina.
But.
“…Are you my opponent for the day after tomorrow?”
“Ah…”
It seems that my worries were unfounded, as it turned out to be Despina herself who had come.
But why would she come to see me…?
“Don’t be so wary. I was just curious about the Gladiator who is rumored to only (….) defend (….) in the Colosseum.”
Seeing me on guard, she seemed to have understood various things.
Despina shrugged her shoulders and gave a wry smile.
“But well, you don’t seem very strong.”
“You’re being blunt. Are you saying that compared to that Demon Beast from this afternoon?”
“Oh? So, you were watching that match?”
“Yeah.”
Then Despina put her hand to her mouth and made a thoughtful gesture.
Does watching that match have something to do with her coming here?
“Then let’s get straight to the point. In the match the day after tomorrow, admit defeat immediately.”
“………………….”
“If you do, I won’t have to hurt you unnecessarily, and I’ll intercede with the higher-ups so that you don’t suffer.”
Ah, I see.
So, she came to urge me to lose the match.
Certainly, after watching that match, most people would think that they can’t beat Despina.
In reality, in order to defeat her, even the slightest mistake is not allowed. Rather, the probability of losing is higher.
But.
“Sorry, but I refuse. I have no choice but to defeat you.”
In the first place, I was thrown into this Colosseum with malicious intent. Probably, the moment I’m defeated, they’ll try to kill me.
Besides, Despina says she’ll negotiate with the higher-ups, but I highly doubt that those higher-ups will listen to her.
I understood from today’s match, where they pitted her against such a Demon Beast, that they intend to use Despina up or eliminate her.
Otherwise, no matter how much they knew about her abilities, there’s no way they would make her fight a Demon Beast of an event boss level.
“…Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
“I don’t intend to regret it, and I don’t intend to lose to you.”
“You’ve got guts. It seems this was unnecessary meddling.”
Despina chuckled, waved her hand, and left the Door, leaving this Dungeon.
“Hal…”
“Yeah, I won’t lose. I can’t afford to lose.”
To Caz, who was looking at me worriedly, I nodded strongly.
That’s right, I can’t afford to lose and die in a place like this.
For the sake of my favorite fiancée, who is waiting for my return.
