1. What does that girl think she's doing?

2. It appears that Princess Rose has fled to the north of the Royal Capital.

3. I suspect she has not yet left the city.

4. Apparently the Oriana Kingdom wants to handle it internally as a purely domestic matter.

5. They have sent word to the Midgar Kingdom asking them not to interfere.

6. I smell a rat.

7. Yes.

8. Rose is not a foreign diplomat, she is an exchange student.

9. As such, it would be more appropriate to judge her by Midgar law.

10. But if that were to happen,

11. it could have an adverse affect on relations between the two kingdoms.

12. Well, Father is sure to take a wait-and-see attitude.

13. His picture could be in the dictionary next to "ostrich policy."

14. Princess Rose's fiance is the second son of one of the Oriana Kingdom's dukes,

15. a Mr. Perv Asshat.

16. If she is arrested on charges of harming him,

17. she will naturally be given a harsh sentence.

18. She's royalty, so they won't give her the death penalty, but...

19. Kono subete ima kakete

34. Highest, highest, I'll carry on

35. Ze ga hi demo saa, nozomu nara kokou ni tsuranuke

36. Anyway,

37. We'll want to find Rose before Oriana does,

38. and hear her side of the story.

39. Don't be hasty.

40. Princess Rose hasn't told us anything at all about this matter.

41. Your point?

42. I imagine she wanted to avoid

43. the possibility of our involvement leading to trouble between the kingdoms.

44. It may be wise to refrain from acting rashly.

45. You mean we should abandon her?

46. No, I didn't say that.

47. I meant we should consider our next move carefully.

48. What does that mean?

49. Are you saying that I'm a thoughtless idiot?

50. If you have something to say to me, say it.

51. No, I would never-

52. Don't play all sweet and innocent with me!

53. Pl-please don't kill me!

54. Your acting is so obvious!

55. I will murder you.

56. I know that Rose didn't want to drag us into her problem.

57. I get it.

58. That's what's pissing me off.

59. Right.

60. But we're sworn allies.

61. Sure, we don't know what's going on deep in each other's hearts,

62. but we decided to work as a team.

63. Didn't we?

64. Yes...

65. In that case, I can't abandon her.

66. Of course, I wouldn't abandon you, either.

67. Understand?

68. Then I will gather some information on Princess Rose.

69. I've heard some unsavory rumors about her fiance,

70. so I'll look into those, as well.

71. You changed your tune fast.

72. I'll start by seeing if my sister can give me any advice.

73. You be careful out there, I guess.

74. You, too, Princess Alexia.

75. Nothing fazes you, does it?

76. Well, I'll just have to do what I can.

77. You may feed her a little more information on Perv Asshat and the Oriana royal family.

78. Are you sure, My Lady?

79. If she has more information to process,

80. she should slow down and take some time to think.

81. We don't want the princess running headlong into trouble.

82. Now, where is Rose Oriana?

83. She appears to have made it through the sewers and into the underground ruins.

84. They are a complex series of tunnels, and should be a perfect place to go into hiding.

85. Continue to keep tabs on her location,

86. even if it's just a general area.

87. Yes, My Lady.

88. "As she fled,

89. there were several instances of her pressing her hand to her chest."

90. The winner is Flukas Bullhead!

91. "Fiance-stabbing fugitive Princess Rose suspected of eloping."

92. "Is this an illicit love affair?"

93. I didn't know she had a boyfriend.

94. Still, stabbing your fiance and hitting the road?

95. That's so rock'n'roll, I'll never get over it.

96. Although as a mooching background character, it does hurt me to lose a patron.

97. It's okay, it's okay.

98. If I win the next one, it will cancel out every one of these losses.

99. I'll have to do the usual background character thing, That last fight was... yeah!

100. and wander around town in search of a new patron. If I had to say, yeah, it was fine-tuning!

101. I was testing my battle power counter,

102. No, bad idea. I was testing my battle power counter,

103. If I did that, I'd turn into a street pickup artist. checking the margin of error to see how closely it matches the level of this tournament!

104. The so-called "prior investment!"

105. Wait a minute. Yes! Justification accomplished!

106. My real focus right now That's right.

107. should not be background character behavior. The thing to remember is I get my next allowance in a week.

108. As long as there are important event scenes going on, If I use the rest of what I have, my savings for the main fight,

109. I can do this! I can win!

110. A secret war unfolding behind the scenes of a magnificent tournament...

111. Yes, I see it. This is gonna be good.

112. Right?

113. My battle scouter is perfect!

114. So, Cid, for the cherry on top of this perfect victory,

115. I'd like some funds to...

116. What?

117. Still...

118. having to be there for the advancement of the main story

119. is one of the hard parts of being the Eminence in Shadow.

120. I smell elf.

121. Do you know any elves?

122. I have a few elf friends, yeah.

123. I'm looking for an elf.

124. Okay, sure.

125. She was a pretty girl.

126. Cool.

127. Sound like anyone you know?

128. I mean...

129. She should look a lot like me.

130. She's my late sister's daughter.

131. Okay.

132. Do you know of any elves that look like me?

133. You do?

134. Well...

135. I can't really see your face under your hood.

136. Oh, of course.

137. No, it's not ringing any bells.

138. Are you sure?

139. Uh-huh.

140. I see.

141. I know.

142. She's gonna stop right in time.

143. So I'll be a good background character and...

144. I was mistaken.

145. I'm sorry.

146. I thought you were stronger.

147. What is your name?

148. It's Cid Kagenou.

149. I'm Beatrix.

150. Um...

151. This is a good hand.

152. You will grow stronger.

153. Sorry to have startled you.

154. I guess she's pretty strong.

155. The winner is Imatry Nottaloos!

156. You're not here to watch this depressing fight, are you?

157. You want the next one.

158. You were...

159. Quinton.

160. You were watching the third round yesterday, weren't you, little lady?

161. Yes, I was.

162. I assume you were, too?

163. I wasn't planning on it, but it happened to be where I was looking.

164. Mundane Mann...

165. What do you make of him?

166. Supposedly his opponent tripped and fell, but it didn't look like luck to me.

167. Agreed, that punk did something.

168. I couldn't tell you what that something was.

169. But I bet you could tell me, couldn't you,

170. Miss Annerose Nichtsehen of Velgata's Seven Blades?

171. I've given up that name.

172. Now it's just Annerose.

173. Didn't mean to offend.

174. Belated congratulations on passing the Goddess's Trial, by the way.

175. Thanks.

176. So?

177. Don't tell me that not even you managed to figure out what the hell he did.

178. I couldn't make it all out.

179. I never expected anyone to be fast enough

180. that my eyes couldn't follow their every move.

181. The one thing I know for sure is...

182. it looked like Mundane's right hand moved.

183. Huh? His right hand, eh?

184. Yes, his right hand.

185. I couldn't make out what it did,

186. but I'm certain of the fact that it moved.

187. And if there's anything else I could say,

188. it's that it was unbelievably fast.

189. So you're saying my guess was wrong.

190. Here I thought he was breaking the rules by using a damned artifact.

191. I wouldn't rule out the possibility.

192. Either way, his match today should tell us.

193. His opponent will be Goldy Gilded the Unbeaten Legend.

194. He has never lost a single fight.

195. I've never heard of him, but it sounds like he's famous.

196. Is he tough?

197. Oh, he's famous alright, for whatever that's worth.

198. I've been matched with him three times in past tournaments myself.

199. But Goldy has never lost a fight.

200. Does that mean he beat you, too?

201. Don't be ridiculous.

202. I never got to fight him.

203. What's that mean?

204. He never fights against anyone who could possibly beat him.

205. If he's matched with one, he forfeits.

206. That's how he earned the nickname Unbeaten Legend.

207. But of course, he hates that name and calls himself the Ever-Victorious Golden Dragon.

208. "Ever-Victorious" and "Unbeaten."

209. They sound the same, but mean completely different things.

210. Do they really?

211. He fights only the opponents he knows he can beat,

212. and worms his way up through the ranks.

213. In small-scale competitions,

214. he's even made his way to champion.

215. Wow, so he's not a total weakling.

216. Goldy's greatest asset is that he can see exactly how good his opponent is.

217. And yet he chose not to run away from Mundane.

218. I see what you're saying.

219. Not even the Unbeaten Legend could see Mundane's true strength.

220. Or Mundane is a rotten coward who lets an artifact do all the work.

221. Not only that,

222. but the Unbeaten Legend has only ever faced off against fighters he knew he could beat.

223. In other words, he's never shown any of us how powerful he really is.

224. That does make this sound interesting.

225. Indeed.

226. Round four, match six!

227. Goldy Gilded versus Mundane Mann!

228. Ready, fight!

229. Uh-oh!

230. You think you can mess with me?

231. Did you see it?

232. Just barely.

233. I'm impressed.

234. I didn't see a thing.

235. I was sure the Unbeaten Legend's sword was about to take off Mundane's head.

236. You're right.

237. No normal person could have gotten out of the way in time.

238. But just before the sword got to him, Mundane cracked his neck.

239. Cracked his neck?

240. Like this, "crack, crack."

241. Whoa, wait a minute.

242. Now I'm even more confused.

243. I don't understand it, either.

244. But as soon as he tilted his head,

245. I heard a crack, and he had dodged Goldy's sword.

246. Come on, there's no way.

247. You're saying he wanted to crack his neck

248. and happened to do it at just the right time to dodge the sword?

249. That kind of a coincidence doesn't happen.

250. And if it's not a coincidence?

251. What?

252. This man cracked his neck so quickly

253. that even I would have missed it if I hadn't been watching for it.

254. Do you think a normal human being could do such a thing?

255. Good point.

256. But that sword was coming really fast!

257. There's no way anybody could dodge it by cracking their neck at just the right time!

258. I only half believe it myself.

259. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

260. But what if it wasn't just a coincidence?

261. I don't like you.

262. You just let a one-in-a-million chance get away from you.

263. So how can you stand there like you don't care?

264. You will only have one opportunity in your entire life to potentially beat me,

265. and you just lost yours.

266. Show some disappointment!

267. Show some remorse!

268. Get on the ground and writhe like the miserable worm you are!

269. Anything else would be blasphemy against me!

270. What, is it possible you don't even realize that you gave up your golden opportunity?

271. A puny weakling of Power Level 17 thinks he can humiliate me?

272. I will bury you!

273. Behold my power!

274. Here's something you can think about in the afterlife:

275. My power level is 4,330.

276. Demon God Fatal Strike!

277. Golden Dragon Blade!

278. Th-the winner is Mundane Mann!

279. Goldy Gilded...

280. He was no pushover.

281. He was better than I thought, if he could make such a clear visual manifestation of his magical power.

282. If he had aimed higher and sought out battles with stronger opponents,

283. he could have become an outstanding Dark Knight.

284. So? What did Mundane do at the end there?

285. If I saw what I think I saw, he sneezed.

286. What?

287. Maybe the golden dragon was too bright for him.

288. Mundane sneezed, and at the same time, his sword swung down.

289. Goldy charged right into it.

290. It was an accidental crash.

291. No, no, that's insane!

292. The dragon clashed with a sneeze, and the sneeze won?

293. That is what happened.

294. Goldy said Mundane lost a one-in-a-million opportunity.

295. But Mundane never had any need to wait for Goldy to give him an opening.

296. It's almost like, to Mundane, every fraction of every second was an opening.

297. That's ridiculous.

298. I was wasting my time trying to get a serious answer.

299. If that punk keeps winning,

300. then he'll be up against me in the preliminary finals.

301. I'll show everyone what he's really made of.

302. Would I be able to move the way he does?

303. And that is the security plan for the main Bushin Festival tournament next week, Lord Asshat.

304. Please, call me Perv, Princess Iris.

305. Very well, Lord Perv.

306. I know I have asked you this before,

307. but are you certain you feel no need for increased security?

308. Of course, it's not as if anything happened that would create an unusual stir.

309. Your condition appears to be much different than what I was told in the reports.

310. Yes, the story seems to have been somewhat exaggerated.

311. You Midgardians are all so prone to worrying.

312. Perhaps we can blame that on Princess Alexia's kidnapping.

313. I understand you personally went to the rescue of your dear, delicate younger sister.

314. Truly admirable.

315. Our kingdom intends to follow your example.

316. We will solve family problems within the family.

317. Do as Perv Asshat says.

318. You see His Majesty concurs.

319. Please leave the rest to me, Your Highness.

320. Negotiations within the Court and reconstruction of the knightly order,

321. as well as participation in the Bushin Festival...

322. I can understand your anxiety, Your Highness.

323. But please, put your mind at ease.

324. Our kingdom will do nothing to trouble your pretty little head, Princess Iris.

325. Isn't that right, Your Majesty?

326. Do as Perv Asshat says.

327. Th-the winner is Mundane Mann!

328. What in the heck is going on?

329. Yesterday, he beat the Unbeaten Legend Goldy, and now he's won again?

330. Now he's going to the main tournament.

331. There's nothing spectacular about Quinton,

332. but he's consistently strong, and the odds were in his favor.

333. To think he'd come up against this guy and not even get to make a move.

334. If he's made it this far, it can't be a fluke.

335. But I can't for the life of me figure out how he's winning.

336. I don't know if it's safe to bet on him or not.

337. For dark horse betting, this is interesting.

338. If everything goes normally, Princess Iris will win again this year.

339. If anyone's gonna change that, it's gonna have to be a Dark Knight that nobody knows anything about.

340. Like Mundane Mann.

341. But for round one in the main tournament, he's up against Annerose.

342. I'd say his odds are most likely nine to one.

343. Come on, that's just way too...

344. "My dearest friend and bosom buddy, Po Tato."

345. "How are you, please give me funds?"

346. "As for me, I am currently working on improving myself for the future, please give me funds."

347. "And as such, please hand over some funds now please."

348. Not a chance!

349. The guy I fought today sure was awfully enthusiastic.

350. I think his name was...

351. Qui... something or other.

352. He reminds me of someone I've met, I think.

353. But who?

354. Can I help you?

355. I never would have guessed that you would make it to the main tournament.

356. I'm impressed.

357. It was the natural outcome.

358. I admit, I misjudged you. I didn't realize your true strength.

359. That's all.

360. But I would like to give you a warning.

361. Warning?

362. I have seen your every move.

363. You'd best not assume you can win in the same ways you have been.

364. What's so funny?

365. Yes, here it is!

366. Allow me to give you a warning.

367. Wh-what?

368. These weights are chains that hold me back.

369. Playtime is over.

370. Wait, don't go!

371. I said stop!

372. Don't think this means you've won.

373. I'll show you something!

374. You're not the only one who can do this!

375. Okay...

376. What exactly was she trying to do?

377. I made sure not to hit your vitals.

378. Hurry and get that looked at.

379. Hey! Are you all right?

380. She went that way! Hurry!

381. You won't get away!

382. You will pay for what you've done!
