Eromobuseka Chapter 69 The Match Begins. The Decisive Battle Begins.
「Huh? Are you taking all this request?」
Taking out the ant’s nest was issued by the guild as an urgent request. I arrived with Lina-chan and the girls on the designated spot and there were a lot of boys from the school. I think it’s about 50 people in here?
「Alec-sama, please come here」
「Oh, hi. Did all of these people come to take out the ant nest?」
「Well, the situation’s just strange…」
「What do you mean?」
I was guided by the guild receptionist, who’s an acquaintance of mine, and entered a temporary tent. The lady explained, and it seemed that the boys gathered were here to help Emily-chan. However, Emily-chan wasn’t aware of it, so they’re just unwanted helpers.
「Alec-sama has Lina-sama, Anastasia-sama, and Mira-sama accompanying you most of the time so it’s accepted that you’ll take the request together」
「Isn’t this way too serious to take on someone younger? Those four are with Emily-chan, right?」
「I’m sorry. However, the team had indeed received the request so the guild decided that it was necessary to complete it」
The receptionist bows her head. True, this is certainly a way for the guild to get this request completed quickly. Failing the request will bring the most trouble to the lord governing the area. They probably want to avoid failure by sticking to the match.
「But only the people who requested can go, right? What’s with these people gathering when they’re unrelated?」
「Well, they came to help out with Emily-sama’s request, and they also got permission from the dorm. Even the guild was troubled. After all, having this many people is already troublesome for the location」
「Oh, if they try to go wild the whole nest would collapse. That’s why there’s a careful selection of personnel?」
「Yes. That’s the case」
Hmm, that’s a problem. Emily-chan got too many helpers, and it’s certainly scary to put that many people against the ants.
But you know, groaning won’t help. Let’s call Emily-chan and talk to her.
「Ugh, why did this happen?」
「Alec-senpai, good morning!」
「Good morning」
And so, the guild brought Emily-chan. Luvis-chan and Safira-chan were with her for some reason.
The three of them were accompanied by four Kiryu in the same grade as Emily-chan. Hmmm, these ones are on a different type of beauty. Could it be that Emily-chan and these four are characters of an Otome game?
Emily-chan is the protagonist and the four of them are capture targets where you pick one and get a happy ending? Then there’s the option where you pick the reverse harem end. Then the twins are the protagonists of the sequel.
If so, I’m the obstacle standing in front of Emily-chan, just a stepping stone? Hmm, being a Zatsuryu is so sad.
Putting that self-depreciating joke aside, let’s have a serious conversation.
「Emily-senpai. Could you send those people back?」
「You se…」
「Huh? What’s with this Zatsuryu! Don’t speak to the princess so casually, I’ll kill you」
「Geez. Princess Mimi is too kind that this Zatsuryu’s getting spoiled. Leave this to me and I’ll dispose of him immediately」
「I’ll do it. I’ll punish him and make him regret calling out the princess」
What’s with these guys?
Eeeh? They’re trying to kill me off because I was talking to Emily-chan? I was being polite to her you know?
「Calm down you all! Sorry about that, the third years are just getting nervous. They’re not going to do anything」
Oh, a plain-looking senior stopped them. The guy looks plain at first, but he’s the type who glows. Besides, he’s a Kiryu so he’s naturally beautiful.
I listened to the plain man while thinking that glasses boy and handsome looks are a template.
「As for those kids, we’re here to help Emily-chan and so they’re not listening. They’ve been provoking us since long ago, but there’s a limit to one’s patience too」
「I see. So you’re trying to pull them to a brawl without making the first move」
「Yes, but the numbers are a little concerning」
From how I see it, the seniors have more magic, but the third-years are also strong. If there are this many people, you’ll find some standouts. Unable to fight in this situation, the plain senior sighed.
Hmmm, if we just wait without doing anything, then it’s also a problem.
「Why not just start the brawl? That’s way quicker」
「That’s, well, the worst-case scenario…」
「Yes, that’s why we should do this」
Whisper, whisper.
「I see. If that’s the case」
「Yes, please do」
「Okay, I got this」
■
And so, we’re in a brawl.
It’s a battle between fourth-years and third-years.
「As expected of Emily-oneesama, you’re so popular」
「That’s amazing, Onee-chan, Emily-oneesama’s so popular」
「W-Well. I’m not too happy about it」
The twins were excited to see the boys fight for Emily-chan. Meanwhile, Emily-chan’s showing a cramped smile.
But, it disappeared quickly and she gave off a serious look.
「Sorry, Chi-kun. Also, thanks, everyone! I’ll do my best to win this, wait for me!」
「Don’t worry, princess! I’ll find the Queen ant right away!」
「I’ll burn the ant with my flames!」
「I’ll be the one to bring victory to Princess Mimi! Don’t drag me down」
Standing in front of the entrance are Emily-chan, the twins, and the three of her bodyguards, Fire, Water, and Wind. The twins are here to watch, so they’re not involved. The plain-looking senior from the bodyguards is in the process of reinforcing the ground around the nest with magic to keep it from collapsing.
Furthermore, the remaining fourth-years apart from the bodyguards, and the third-years were running amok. If it wasn’t for the plain senior, the ground would’ve broken long ago.
That aside, we’re able to stall the third-year students, and also drop the plain senior because of his earth Attribute. Fortunately, the plain senior is taken out. He’s highly skilled and it would’ve been troublesome to have him around as an enemy.
「Then, the request begins. Good Luck」
The Guild lady gave the signal and we entered the nest at the same time.
Now, the game is on. Let’s do our best to find the Queen ant!
