Chapter 121: Announcement Of The Results Part 3: Item・Throwable



Not quite the 1st of January yet but I’ll be dropping 2 chapters again early.

Now I’ll return to slacking and probably won’t attempt to translate anything for a couple days at least.

Happy new year, have a nice day and enjoy the chapters.

『Well then, next one. It’s time for the category Item・Throwable.』(Queen)

「Throwable…if I remember correctly, there was an article made by Tobi-senpai and Hind-senpai here right?」(Cineraria)

「That’s right. Though I only made the design for it, it was mostly made by Hind-dono.」(Tobi)

Tobi was the one that replied to Cineraria-chan’s question.

A few days ago, the members of Baby Bird came to watch our work while we were working together on it.

Selene-san, who noticed our conversation, looked at us apologetically.

「Could it be that you used the town’s blacksmith workshop? Sorry, it must have been because I was using the home one all the time…」(Selene)

「Don’t worry about it. The one in town was more than good enough for the work.」(Hind)

「In return, I’m expecting great results from you, Selene-dono. Fufufu.」(Tobi)

「Well, that’s how it is. I haven’t heard what it was, so I’m looking forward to it.」(Hind)

While I did mix some jokes in there, most of it were my honest thoughts.

Selene-san probably understood it so she returned a smile.

「Uwah, you sure are putting some pressure on me…but well, leave it to me. I’m quite confident in what I submitted after all.」(Selene)

「Oohh, Secchan sure is confident right now!」(Yumir)

「Though given the order, equipment should be last…that being said, regardless of the result, our opinion of Secchan’s skills won’t change so be reassured…what is it? Why is everyone looking at me.」(Riizu)

Since the hurdle kept being raised, taking into consideration Selene-san’s feelings, Riizu said some considerate words to her.

It’s because of things like this, that few people that have known Riizu for long come to hate her despite her usual remarks being filled with sarcasm.

Though, the members of Baby Bird were looking at my sister as if they were watching something unusual since they haven’t known her for long.

「Thank you, Riizu-chan.」(Selene)

「I didn’t do anything…」(Riizu)

Riizu looked down bashfully because of Selene-san’s honest words of gratitude.

Immediately after the atmosphere in the lounge turned warm, the Queen’s words cut in.

『I take you already know how this is going to go? First off, the items that have made it into the top 100. Bang!』(Queen)

「She’s suddenly introducing as she pleases…」(Hind)

「She probably hates being all formal…」(Tobi)

「Quite the selfish Queen!」(Yumir)

「That part, hasn’t changed at all from the first time we’ve seen her…」(Riizu)

Next to her, the old mage called Arbol was also shaking his head because of the Queen’s attitude.

The same way as last time, as if being called by the Queen’s words, a mountain of items appeared.

Exhibited in this category, was a set of 『Special Kunais』 made by Tobi and me.

Within the set there were: Poison Kunai, Paralysis Kunai and Sleep Kunai. For the auction, we plan to sell fifty sets.

When it comes down to consumable items like this one, you are able to designate the quantity.

Since the number of items doesn’t really influence the review, if a player doesn’t have any interest in having the item in the auction, they would probably only submit a single one.

「I-I found it! It’s our Kunai Set!」(Tobi)

「Yeah. Since the case for it is huge, it was pretty easy to find.」(Hind)

「That sure raises our expectations. I wonder how it’ll go…」(Selene)

In order to protect people from the chemical laced blade, we used leather covers for the kunais and on top of that, we put them inside a wooden japanese style box.

Since there were three of them, it was quite easy to find them within the mountain of items.

With this, top 100 is a given. The problem is if they had gotten into the top 10 or not.

『In 10th place…』(Queen)

The announcement of the items went by more smoothly than the first category, the only one left was 1st place.

As for the item in 1st place, the Queen said that she would use a copy of the item right there.

「…The screen is completely white and you can’t see anything…」(Hind)

「However, wouldn’t this be how it Aniki would have felt when he was hit by Hind-dono’s Shining during the tournament?」(Tobi)

「Surprisingly, the person might have gotten the idea from watching senpai fight? It had quite the impact after all.」(Siesta)

「Is that so? Though unlike Shining, it would be great if it affected all the monsters.」(Hind)

1st place was a throwable weapon called Flash Sphere, since the Queen had used it there, the screen had turned completely white.

Unfortunately, the Kunai Set wasn’t mentioned, it seems like it’s harder to get into the top 10 than I thought.

『Ahahahaha! Amusing, so amusing! With this, the announcement for the item・throwable category is now over. We’ll proceed to the next one once Arbol and Miles’ eyesight recovers. It’s fine for you, the visitors to go and wait for a little while!』(Queen)

『Your majesty, you are going too far with your games! Muh? Her presence…Miles! Miles! After her!』(Arbol)

『I-I’m very sorry, Arbol-dono! Such negligence from my part…your majesty! Your Majesty! Where are you!? Damn it, I can’t see anything!』(Miles)

Both retainers seem to have taken a direct hit from the light so they were left confused and the image from the screen was interrupted.

By chance, it has been proved that this item can be useful as an anti personnel weapon.

It’s just that, I believe the reason this item got 1st place is most likely because of the comment the Queen left 「Because it was flashy」.

Then the results up to the 100th place appeared on the screen.

「Kunai…Kunai…there they are. They are in 52nd place, such a shame. Though they are weapons with a beautiful shape that can’t be found in our country, they are quite plain…or so she says. She is complimenting them, but it seems like they didn’t match her tastes.」(Hind)

「Could we had aimed higher if we had gone with the bo-hiya?」(Tobi)

「Looking at the results, it might have been better than the kunais. Well, let’s just hope they sell for a high price later in the auction.」(Hind)

「Muh, such a shame…even though the kunais that Hind-senpai and Tobi-senpai made are so cool.」(Lycoris)

Due to the conversation I was having with Tobi, everyone tried to comfort us by saying things like 「It was unfortunate」.

Since Lycoris-chan was feeling genuinely frustrated as if she had made them with us, we didn’t feel that down about it. She’s really such a nice girl.

Unexpectedly, Siesta-chan also tried to comfort us.

「I believe that even just placing within the top 100 twice in a row is more than impressive enough.」(Siesta)

「Well, I did team up with Yumir, Tobi and Selene-san from the first day. I was with Riizu from the third day onwards, so I guess we were in a more advantageous position that other players.」(Hind)

「But even us, if we Hind-senpai wasn’t there-」(Cineraria)

「Cineraria-dono, you shouldn’t say more.」(Tobi)

「Ah, yes. You are right…」(Cineraria)

Cineraria-chan abstained herself from saying more, she then stood up from her seat, came next to me and started caressing my back.

Ah, yes, thank you…it’s true that it might have been a bit too hard on me this time.

However, this should be something like what you do when you go around following up after those two right?

Seeing my gaze, Cineraria-chan gave me a nod and then looked at Lycoris-chan and Siesta-chan.

…That might be true, but I think the fun I have with those two beats the hardships I have to go through.

That goes for me too…there, we were having such a back and forth without muttering a single word…

We exchanged handshakes and patted each other’s backs.

I had this feeling of sympathy that was pretty close to what I felt towards Samael, a close aide of Maou=chan.

「S-Sai-chan, what happened just now?」(Lycoris)

「It’s something like the sort of feelings you have towards Yumir-senpai.」(Cineraria)

「…I see!」(Lycoris)

Lycoris-chan hit her hand in understanding, I think it’s impressive how she understood that.
