Cold sweat trickled down his cheeks and down his chin to the ground.


    ''Tina, Tina you, what''s your mission?''


    It''s almost done. All that''s left to do is get out of there without being detected. So, Eric, who is that woman?


    I managed to digress once, but to no avail.


    It helps that your mission seems to be over and you''re very good at it, but you finished early, so you came to check on me.


    I think it''s a good idea to be too good at that.


    But wait a minute, I don''t know that woman very well either.


    I''m the victim of a sudden entanglement in the waiting room and brought here, so I''m the victim.


    I told Tina behind me in a shaky voice.


    I''m still a little scared to look back.


    ''So that woman is a distraction, right?


    ''Interrupted... no, that''s not an exaggeration...''


    ''Eric, are you perhaps attracted to that woman''s condition that she is allowed to have her body at her disposal?''


    No, how do you know the terms?


    How long have you been watching him bothering me?


    I mean, if you''d seen it, you''d have seen me say no.


    ''No, if you knew that, you would have seen me turn it down.


    Well, I''ll give you the benefit of the doubt.


    Hearing those words, I finally turned around.


    There was Tina, who was deeply covered by the hood of her cloak and extremely unaware of the magical effect.


    ''''So, who is that woman?''''


    I don''t know. But he''s strong.


    It''s ... yeah, I kind of get it.


    I don''t know where she was watching the events in the waiting room from, but Tina would be able to get a general idea of strength just by looking at Helu.


    ''But you''re weaker than Eric.


    That''s a pretty good idea.


    Helu himself said I was stronger than he was, because he said I was stronger than him.


    I won''t deny it.


    ''''But I''m glad that the woman is in this important battle.


    Hmm?　Why?


    What''s the big fight you''re talking about?


    ''I overheard earlier that they''re going to bet on that woman.


    ''That''s good to hear. Helu wouldn''t lose ... maybe.


    The opponents are inferior in every way.


    However, Helu fights with his bare hands and hands, whereas the opponent is wearing armor.


    You have to be creative to get your attacks through, but what happens.......


    Looking towards the arena, the fight was about to begin at any moment.


    Helu is facing the one who is fully armored.


    But when I turned that way, Helu noticed my gaze and turned to me, smiled and waved his hand at me.


    ........That was kind of cute....


    --Ha!


    "...Eric, what was that?　Why did that woman wave to Eric?　Why is Eric waving back too?


    Unconsciously I seem to have waved my hand back.


    Tina, who was watching it behind me, asks me again while giving off a black aura.


    ''''No, that was that ... that ... that, like a parent watching over their child, with that kind of emotion.''''


    Do you have those feelings for a woman you''ve never met?


    I''m sorry.


    No matter what I said, he didn''t seem to agree with me, so I apologized gracefully.


    In the meantime, Helu''s fight began.


    Her opponent was holding an axe in his right hand and a shield in his left.


    If he also wore armor and even had a shield, he would have a solid way of attacking while defending himself.


    But I don''t think there was anyone in the waiting room with a shield.


    If you are going to fight in this arena, most of the guys are wearing armor, so most of the time it''s a brute force move with a two-handed axe or large sword.


    Perhaps they saw that Helu fights with his hands and changed it to be completely defensive.


    I think it''s a good strategy, but that doesn''t necessarily mean it''s going to work out for the better.


    I don''t think it''s obvious to the untrained eye, but it''s still a little awkward, as if he''s not used to using his shield.


    I wonder if Helu understands, but he was ducking while looking at his opponent with boring eyes.


    The heat is very high, as if the audience is excited about the first female fighter to appear in the room.


    But on the contrary, Helu seemed to be cold.


    Even from a distance, you can see her sighing, and she avoids her opponent''s attack, which is getting bigger and bigger, and goes into the pocket.


    Then - with his right palm on the opponent''s pigeon tail, he shot.


    Instantly, the opponent stopped moving, blood flowed down from the gap in his iron mask, and he fell forward to the ground.


    The hall was quiet for a moment, and it was all at once when it was realized that it was the woman, Heru, who had won.


    ''''Eric, that was.....


    ''Yeah, it''s amazing technology. They''re only taking out the inside.


    There is not a single scratch on the armor.


    It is transferring power well so as to damage the internal organs of the person wearing it.


    It would feel like the one who was hit was hit directly in the internal organs.


    The whole hall is excited, but Heeru comes over to us boringly.


    ''That was too weak and boring.


    Good night.


    Yeah, what''s going on, is there anyone in there?


    No, there''s no one there.


    Yeah?　Well, okay.


    Before she could come, Tina disappeared again with a sign, but Helu seemed to notice a bit.


    ''Will you fight with us on this?''


    I wish I had the time.


    I don''t want to tell you that I''ve been wanting to fight a little bit.


    After all, I seem to find it a little fun to fight a strong guy, too.
