How do I put it?
The next matches after that were purely out of enjoyment.
Only low-ranked and middle-ranked ones volunteered themselves to fight.
The youkai that joined the match were also just the small fry who couldnât even use Fear. Some of them won against the low-ranked devil or one winged angel and a fallen angel, but most of them lost to them due to playing too much.
I wasnât needed to oversee the match as Tobio had arrived. He became the referee again, and I am now in the commentator seats, sitting with the other leaders.
Right now, a fight between a middle-ranked devil against a two-winged angel was in progress. The devils managed to corner the angel, but he was not given up yet.
âThis is getting boring,â I muttered to myself, and Azazel heard it.
âWell, it canât be helped. The strong fighters are still judging each other.â
âThatâs right.â Added Sirzechs. âBy the way, where is the big guy with a lot of arms, Riku? I didnât see him in youkaiâs seat.â
âOh, Tsuchigumo? Heâs in Kyoto with Crom Cruach right now. They became a pal after fighting each other.â
âCrom Cruach? As in, Crom Cruach, the evil dragon?â Asked Michael.
âWell, yeah.â I grinned. âThey became a good pal, right, Azazel?â
âTsk! You can say that. Words couldnât explain the bond of battle-maniacs.â
âThatâs unexpected.â Chimed Sirzechs. âI thought that guy would come here. So he chose to stay at Kyoto.â
âAbout thatâ¦â I crossed my legs as I turned to Sirzechs. âI forgot to bring him.â
ââ¦â
The three leaders looked at me in disbelief. They couldnât believe that I forgot to bring one of youkaiâs strongest fighters, Tsuchigumo.
âOi oi, are you serious? Wouldnât he be mad when he knew that?â Asked Azazel.
âMaybe. But I think heâs already on his way here, with Crom Cruach.â
There was no way Tsuchigumo would skip something exciting like this tournament. I had told him about the location of the tournament, so I bet he was now flying on Crom Cruachâs back to come here.
âI will not be surprised if he suddenly falls from the sky⦠right about now.â
I looked at the sky beyond the barrier. The barrier was inside a separate dimension, so no one would be able to enter without the permission of the barrier creator, or at least that was how it was supposed to be.
âSirzechs, I will open a part of the barrier a little; you can fix it later.â I stood up and called Nenekirimaru to my hand as I said that.
His body jolted a little as he looked at me. âWhat are you trying to do?â
âNothing.â I grinned at him. âJust making a way to enter the barrier for one of youkaiâs fighters.â I jumped off and swung my blade as I reached the top barrier.
The barrier was cut without creating any sound. It created a hole of around 3 meters. At the same time, two people entered the barrier before it was closed off by Sirzechs from the commentator seat. I glanced at him while falling to the ground slowly and caught sight of him extending his hand toward this place while frowning.
The crowd was clamoring. They were confused by what had happened. The fight was also stopped as both fighters looked our way. Fortunately, Azazel was quick to catch on.
âJust ignore what happened earlier! Two people were late, so the leader of the youkai clan opened the barrier for them!â
The fighters nodded their heads and continued their fight.
I shrugged my shoulders as I landed softly at the edge of the colosseum beside two new presences that had just entered the barrier. They were Tsuchigumo and Crom Cruach in their human form.
âYo!â I greeted them, and Tsuchigumo scoffed.
âHow dare you leave me out. Thankfully this guy could use teleport.â He pointed at Crom Cruach.
âHahahaha. I am also interested in the fight! Can I join too?â
I snapped my fingers and grinned. âOf course. As long as you are part of a force. How is it? Want to join my Hyakki Yakkou in order to participate in the fight? You may fight anyone of your choice if you participate, you know?â
This was a chance to get an Evil Dragon that was called to be equal to Ddraig and Albion.
Crom Cruach stroked his chin and grinned. âVery well. I will join you.â
âNice! Then, how about you participate in the next fight?â
âThat will be ideal.â Answered Crom Cruach.
âOi, I will fight next. You will fight after me.â Tsuchigumo chimed in, certainly pissed because he was ignored.
Crom Cruach looked at him and asked, âOh? But, who is your opponent? Do you know his or her name?â
âHah! I know his name. He pissed me off with his cocky attitude when in that world.â Answered Tsuchigumo.
Oho?
I felt like something interesting would happen. Crom Cruach seemed to have a same mind as me as he said, âVery well, I will let you fight next.â
âRight. I have been itching to fight this guy because I feel like heâs looking down on me too much.â Grumbled Tsuchigumo as he eyed the devil's spectators seat.
So the one who pissed Tsuchigumo was a devil?
I tried to follow his gaze and found someone familiar to me. He was still ignorant that he was targeted by Tsuchigumo.
âHeâs too unlucky.â
I could only hope for him to survive. But, with Ajukaâs barrier working perfectly, I didnât need to worry about him at all.
âIf you want to fight later, just jump in the middle of the arena when the referee asked if someone wanted to fight. You will be asked to choose your opponent at that time.â
âSure. Thatâs easy. I guess we need to wait at that side first, right?â He pointed at the youkai spectatorâs seat.â
I nodded my head. âYeah. I will leave you now.â
As I had nothing to do here, I jumped back to the commentator area while being greeted by Sirzechs displeased gaze.
âMy bad. Itâs an emergency.â
âWhat are you talking about?â He asked, clearly still angry by what I did.
âIf I leave him alone, he would destroy the barrier. That would be troublesome, no?â I sat on my previous seat while crossing my leg.
Sirzechs blinked his eyes and touched his chin. âThat might be true.â
âSee?â
As I said that, a cheer erupted from the devilâs side. It seems that the winner is the devil.
Tobio quickly announced the winner and asked for the next fighter.
Tsuchigumo immediately responded by jumping to the arena. Tobio, as a referee, asked his name and Tsuchigumo answered.
âI am Tsuchigumo! I will choose Ddraig, who resides inside Hyoudou Issei as my enemy.â
As expected, this would be interesting. Did he hear about Ddraig from Crom Cruach?
And soâ¦
âThis turned out interesting instantly,â I muttered to myself.
