The referee declared the end of the match and Beelze raised her hand high.
Azusa:Â âShe was beaten even before fighting!?â
I was very perplexed. If she disappears before having a direct confrontation with me, it will be difficult to make another contact with herâŠ.
Beelzebub:Â âHa! Ha! Haa! If I apply more power, thereâs nothing that would scare me, even if itâs a wandering martial artist!â
Oi! Why are you triumphantly declaring your victory!? Arenât you forgetting our purpose!?
Beelzebub:Â âNow then, everyone, praise me! Call me the King of Flies!â
Moreover, donât say something that could reveal your identity!
âI see, itâs got to be Beelzebub if itâs the king of flies, right?â âShe also has Beelze as her name.â âWhat a villainous name indeed.â
Thank God. Seems like she has slipped away for the time being. It would be strange if the tournament still continues when thereâs a demon general here, right?
Busura-san got up and returned to the waiting room unsteadily.
Not good. If she leaves, we wonât have any chance to talk at all.
Beelzebub:Â âThat Busura woman wasnât a big deal.â
Before that, Beelzebub got off the stage and talked.
Azusa: âWeâre not doing this just to show off your power, you knowâŠâ
Beelzebub: âThereâs nothing to be worried about. I still know that I have a duty to return Farufa back. Iâll keep Busura with me, so meet me at the final.â
Azusa:Â âHonestly, I already donât care about the final, though.â
Our purpose is neither money nor honor as it would be a nuisance if thereâs an event similar to a visitation from another martial arts school coming to the house of plateau, you see.
Beelzebub:Â âI will fight against you in the final so donât you run away now. It âs because we need to settle this since a long time ago.â
I immediately realized that Beelzebub was serious. It felt like she was about to show her hidden wings.
Speaking of which, we never had a decent fight before.
The last showdown with Beelzebub ended when she hit my border barrier directly and got injured.
To be clear, the match was extremely indigestible.
Since then, Beelzebub asked for rematch every time, but because of that, we have gotten close with each other, so weâre not blessed with good opportunities.
Azusa: âSigh⊠I understand, but donât forget about Farufaâs case, okay?â
Beelzebub:Â âDonât worry. My block is the same with Busura, so our waiting room are close. I will properly ask her to cooperate with us.â
Belzebub ran towards the waiting room. I could only trust Beelzebub here, huh?
There was a short break before the semi-final, so I waited for a good report from Beelzebub. But the good news wonât come that quickly.
I donât know what to do if Farufa doesnât return and we start from the beginning again⊠I donât have a good idea anymore, you seeâŠ
It became the semi-final in an instant while I was feeling extremely disarrayed. Though, I fought with anxiety shown on my face, threw some punches, and won.
My opponent seemed to think that he could win because I was being timid, but in reality, I won against him when it comes to status. Iâm not that weak just because a mere anxiety filling up my mind.
And Beelzebub has also won and proceed to the final.
I didnât expect that I and Beelzebub would do a rematch in such a crowd-watching environment.
The support from the crowd also became tremendous as we proceed to the finals.
A match between fellow women. Moreover, it attracted a lot of attention as the winner candidates are not from the favorites nor the soldiers.
âThe Witch of the Plateau!â âThe rumor is true! Sheâs the strongest!â âBeelze the King of Flies!â âIâm betting hundred thousand gold on you!â
Like I said, donât make us an object for betting!
I slowly went up the stage.
Following that, Beelzebub also went up the stage. She deliberately did it to lightly driving up the venue.
Beelzebub:Â âWhatâs this? Even though this is a rare big moment for you, youâre still looking in a bad mood.â
Azusa:Â âThatâs obvious. Farufaâs case hasnât been resolved yet. My fight against you is just a secondary thing.â
Iâm not a battle machine that canât think nothing but a victory. Iâm just an ordinary mother who cares about her children.
Thereâs a fictional story about a baseball player who hits a home run for a his fan who is a child and fighting for his illness, but frankly speaking, it doesnât matter whether I win or lose, you see.
Farufa is also watching while in her slime form, so I would want to win anyway, but that still wonât help curing Farufa.
I have to pay less attention to the family seats. Iâm feeling hazy because of it, you see.
Beelzebub: âSighâŠ. Whatâs wrong with you? Donât say something that disappointing. I just want you to read the air a bit more and at least say something like ăI will beat you at your own gameă or something..â
It seems that Belzebub doesnât like that I donât show any interest. I understand that feeling, but I canât change my personality and trick myself so that I could enjoy the match.
Azusa:Â âMy bad, but itâs impossible to get serious right now. Though, I could go without hesitation if the brightly smiling Farufa is here with me.â
If itâs like that, I could fight using all my strength and skill.
Then, Beelzebub smiled. She really looks like a villainess wrestler.
Beelzebub:Â âI have heard your word clearly.â
Azusa:Â âDid I say something that could be taken as a promise?â
Beelzebub:Â âLet me show you a nice surprise before the match.â
Beelzebub turned to the back and looked at the stairs coming up on the stage.
