"Actually we did consider a lot before making such a decision." said a man with a sheriff outfit as he walked in with a can of drink in his hand.
"Oh! You are Sheriff, the leader of team 'Yeehaw!'. Nice to see you here." Blair greeted the man.
"You said you considered a lot, you must had realized that order arrangement strategy is not a very ideal one, right?" said Chris.
"Yes, I am aware of it. But we have to let Mr.Gentleman be the first one in order to protect his self-esteem. He is a person with extremely high pride, and it seems like he is very concerned about how he is different from our other members, so, if we put him in the last two positions, he will think that it's due to his 'difference' and we looked down at him." said Sheriff, and yes, his name is Sheriff.
"Understandable." said Chris.
"But now, with he lost so miserably to Miss Maria, he thought that the reason we put him in the first position is to make fun of him." said Sheriff.
"Ah... Sounds like a troublesome person." said Chris, a bit perfunctory.
"Ah... That's why I saw him running out the field furiously." said Blair.
"Seriously? Ah... No wonder Maria nervously dragged Sky out just now saying something like he had made Mr. Fancy Moustache angry." said Chris, picking up Blair's words.
"Hahaha... So, the one on the field right now looks really strong, could this by chance the strongest member in your team?" Blair asked.
"Not really, he is the third strongest, but he has the most destructive attack among all the members in the guild. The lady up next is the second strongest, she is an expert in continuous attacks." said Sheriff.
"I see, but are sure it's alright to tell us this information, I mean, the person that will go for the next match is just right here." said Blair as he pointed at Chris.
"It's alright, I have a feeling that we will lose our match anyway." said Sheriff.
"Oh? How so?" Chris asked.
"Well, I believe you are well aware of it, so it's a bit pointless to ask, but still I'm not going to withdraw before the match end." said Sheriff, who doesn't sound very happy...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Maria and Sky are walking around the corridor area near their waiting area since they are not allowed to leave the area before their match end.
"Darling~ Are you sure you saw him ran through this place?" said Maria as he is looking for Mr. Gentleman with Sky.
"Yes, his mustache can't be wrong. But why are you so concerned about him?" Sky asked, rather curious, and maybe a bit... Jealous?
"He looks really upset just now and I feel like I am responsible for that, so at least I need to make sure he is alright." said Maria.
"Hah... Sometimes I can't really understand your kindness." said Sky as he sighed.
"I'm sorry, I'm can't help but felt really uneasy if I didn't do anything about it, after all, it's my exaggerated move that embarrassed him in front of all of the audiences, I should have been more considerate about the whole situation." said Maria, rather upset and at the verge of crying.
"Ah... I am not blaming you for that, just that I am having issues of you been so kind and somewhat attached to a person you just met, it makes me kind of... uneasy." said Sky trying to comfort Maria as he realized he had said some wrong words.
"Eh? Are you saying that you are... Jealous?" said Maria, sounds surprised and happy.
"Ah no... I'm not..." Sky tries to deny that but getting hugged by Maria.
"Aww~ Darling, you are so sweet, I thought you will only be jealous for Chris-chan." said Maria as he happily snuggled Sky.
"Ah... Maria, I believe there are some misunderstandings... Ah... Hey! Look! That's the guy you are looking for." said Sky as he suddenly spotted a man with fancy mustache at the far end of the corridor.
"Ah! Yes! That's Mr. Moustache! Let's go for him!" said Maria as he dragged Sky with him, he looks rather excited.
As Sky and Maria reached where Mr. Gentleman is, they saw him facing the wall while punching the wall with his fist, just that it's a rather soft punch that it's as if he is trying to get some attention but at the same time afraid to hurt himself by doing so.
"Uhm... If you are really frustrated, you should at least punch harder. Just saying." said Sky who is slightly annoyed by his actions.
"Wha... You are from the team 'Kneel Before Me'! What are you doing here? Are you trying to mock me for losing in such an embarrassing way?" said Mr. Gentleman, a bit emotional.
"Darling! Don't be so mean!... I'm sorry for his rudeness, we are a bit concerned about you. I give you my deepest apologies for what I did in the match just now, I don't know it will cause such an embarrassment for you. I'm sorry for my lack of consideration. I should have used a more direct one-hit KO skill instead." said Maria in a rather polite tone despite of the slightly harsh words.
"Eh? Maria?" Sky is a bit surprised at Maria's words.
"Get out of my sight! I don't need your pretentious apology!" said Mr. Gentleman who probably had missed out those harsh words from Maria.
*Yes, his name is Mr. Gentleman, the 'Mr.' is a part of his name.

Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."

Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
