"Surrender."
"Shit."
The axe is currently occupied on blocking the daggers so that it can't attack Takao.
"How?"
"Your axe has a fatal flaw."
"What?"
"I observed that you are vulnerable if it's occupied on blocking things. I once just wanted those daggers to let me escaped a bit. But I saw that maybe I could just use it as diversity. We are not allowed to kill here so nothing will go wrong even if I were to make that gamble. You know that if you stop that from blocking those daggers, you will be dead, right? So I would still win. Either you being pierced by them I deal with you."
"Fine. I surrender. I acknowledged you now."
"Fine."
The last dagger hit and all daggers disappear. Taga then retrieved his axe.
"I will need a potion right now."
"No need. I will heal you."
"Haha. Thanks."
"I will be glad if you were my companion."
"Aren't those two enough?"
"They are good. But not as good as you are."
"Haha. They will grow too."
"I hope so. Let's go."
They left to go to Takao's corner. And the announcer does his thing when they left. Takao is given a pouch by a person that seems to be one of the arena's staff.
"Here sir. Good work for winning."
"This?"
"A portion of the bets. There's almost all of them that bets on you."
"Ha. Those people. Almost all of them bet on you."
"Ah. I will take this. That is fine. Taga. I won after all."
"Yeah. I'm healed I will leave. My team is currently on a quest that I don't want to go to that is why they are not here. Bye."
"Yeah."
"Wha! Master! You earned again!"
"You could make a living fighting Takao."
"No. I won't be accepting anymore fights now."
"That is good."
"Ey! Takao my love! Where is that thug run off to?"
"Don't call me your love. If you wanted one, go and pest this Mello right here. Not me."
"Yeah. I could be your husband right away. Ms. Valentina!"
"Hmph! I don't want you."
"Ah. She left."
"That's fine Mello. Let's go too. By the way. Where's Marcus?"
"He's outside tending to the Basilisk."
"Let's go."
They got outside and saw many people around the Basilisk. Marcus is on top of it.
"Ah... You're done. I heard lots of cheers for Takao."
"Of course. He won after all."
"Let's go to your home."
"But. Aren't you tired?"
"I never get tired."
"Ah... Okay. Let's go."
They headed to a bit of the lower-class part of the city.
They had caught the attention of many people by the sight of them riding the Basilisk. But lots of them are scared and ran away.
Until then. They arrived at a certain house.
"Huh? What is that?"
"What is it Lana?"
"Ah! Mom! Look! There's a giant lizard outside! It has many legs!"
"Huh!? That's a monster! Hurry up and don't go out!"
"But Mama! It stopped at our house!"
"Huh?"
"Mom look please!"
"Y, yes. Mom will."
As she is about to head to the door. It opened.
"Papa! Papa watch out on the lizard!"
"Ahh. Don't worry. The lizard won't harm you. Come here."
They head to their father and looked at the mighty form of the Basilisk.
"What? Are they riding that? Papa?"
"Yes."
The three got down and head to them.
"Ah! Their cute!"
Lana and Lena are the same. By the hairstyle, Looks, body figure, and height. The only way the tell them apart is by their eye colors. Lana has red eyes but Lena had blue. They both had twin-tailed blonde hairs and both wore the same green dress.
'These are my daughters. Lana and Lena."
"They're kind of cute. Right? Mello?"
"You're absolutely right, Martin!"
"I'm not lying. Takao."
"Fine. I believe you now. The money is yours now. I just gained some after all."
"But that is more than ninety gold! Are you serious?"
"Yeah. Go and take it. We're leaving."
"Wait!" Marcus' wife called out. "Please have a rest here first."
She's a very beautiful woman. She has a nice figure and ample breasts. She has brown shoulder-length hair and eyes. She is wearing a green dress too.
"There's no nee–"
"Please! Onii-chan!"
"Yeah! Please stay here first!"
"Umm... Fine."
"Yey!"
"Yey!"
All of them are now inside while drinking tea.
"Ma'am. Thank you for this."
"There's no need. I'm Dalia. Marcus' wife."
"I'm Martin. This is Takao. And that guy over there is Mello."
"Thank you for giving us so much money."
"There's no need. I dealt with your husband for that. I said that if he's not lying. I will give him that."
"Thank you. Mr. Takao."
"..."
While they are having a conversation.
"Ah! Mello nii-chan. Catch me!"
The three are currently outside playing beside the Basilisk.
"Mello is so childish."
"You said it right. Takao."
After a while.
"Thank you. Takao-san. We really are grateful for this."
"That is fine. Mrs. Dalia. We will be on our way."
"Thank you."
"Ah. You could tell us if there's anything wrong. Though I may not like Takao. But I could help."
"Thank you. Martin-san."
"Thank you Takao. I will now be able to make my family have a good life for a while."
"That's fine. We're leaving here after a few days. Go to Silver Crescent Pavilion if you wanted to go with us."
"Where?"
"To our village. We had to come back there to stop the marching soldiers. If they ever happen to break the defensive line."
"Okay. We will think about it."
"Then. We will head out."
After getting out the door.
"Hey! Mello! Make them go inside."
"Ah. Yes! Girls, we will go now."
"Already?"
"Come on daughters. Papa will give you a good present that it is now your birthday."
"Yay!"
"Yay!"
And they left. Riding the monster.
Meanwhile.
"My King!"
"What is it my subject? Speak.
"A person with strange abilities is found on Fuanor. It seems like abilities far greater than the priests!"
The person then told the King the arena fight in perfect detail.
"Hmmm... Bring him to me! He could help us in this war."
"Yes!"
