Chapter 9
"..."
Wow, are they all experiencing downtime? K- k- even if so, how is that possible?
Strange, maybe yes, ouch... I'm confused about how to summarize events in the area. Suwer, I'm really confused, believe me.
While waking up my body so that I could stand straight as before, through both eyes, I saw lots of people who were cosplaying as lifeless statues.
B- Not only people, objects, clouds in the sky, even the sunlight seems to be doing nothing but standing still.
Y-guys, tell me that time-stopping ability never existed. Say it, please say it in both ears. Seriously, the hairs on the back of my neck are almost standing up.
"Haaah... that's all there is to it."
Oy-oy, amidst the feelings of fear in your mind, you have time to say such a ridiculous sentence? Hadeh, none of this would have happened if it weren't for you, you kid who doesn't know manners.
E... I don't mean to criticize or slander, I'm just trying to think about the reasons why my surroundings are like this. Who else if not that kid? Damn it indeed.
While the conditions outside the arena looked as quiet as a city without residents, I, who had been standing all this time, could only remain silent, gawking at the words coming from the boy's mouth. Actually, if I were the father, I would have hit you first, you little bastard. It's really annoying, really.
"At times like this you can relax like this, huh?"
Be honest with me, Sha, since childhood, have you ever been taught manners? Or etiquette towards fellow humans, like that?
Stepping one foot forward, I tried to say a word to him. Do I need to tell you his name? I don't think it's necessary, right?
"Yes, of course you know. After all, soon something interesting will appear in both eyes."
"Gleekkk-"
What a minute? You're trying to launch my torture plot scheme again? Yes? Just admit it, you little brat!
Hearing Sasha's response at once, without realizing it, the saliva on her tongue suddenly fell freely into her stomach.
Phew, fortunately you only swallowed saliva, imagine if you swallowed food weighing 0.5 kg? That's it.
"You're really sick." While putting on a cynical face, I gave a response to Sasha's answer just now.
Once in a while, we have to speak frankly. Especially with someone like him, behh….
Very emotional, viewers.
"Fumu, to be honest, I was hurt by what you said earlier. So that's why..."
"Prickly roots, snare him!"
What the hell*? You're still not satisfied? To the point of having to cast a spell to attack me? Stress indeed.
Before her words were finished, Sasha reflexively shouted a very loud spell, making anyone's ears ring for a while.
Etdah, it's nothing, let's just play beat it. Wait, what? Give your opponent a chance to understand the situation, in vain*
Brrrrhhh
"Emmhhh- emhhhhhh."
Kampret, the roots are really hard, wow. I swear, there's nothing to the rope, it's genuine.
There was no pause after I said the narrative above, a long, giant root appeared, entangling the whole body apart from the head, looking like a warm meal when morning arrived.
Kisanak, I'm not snake food. Please untie your roots!
"You're such a bastard, Sasha-!"
"Two swords, appear!"
Tsssssiiiing
Do you think you alone have the power? No, no, I'm the same as you.
Annoyed by Sasha's relatively sudden actions, my mouth spontaneously said, replacing both arms into swords, trying to close my eyes as a prelude to the end of an attack.
Slassshh
Without thinking for long, I moved my hands, cutting the roots around my body, positioning my body to rotate so that all the roots could be completely freed.
Brukkkk
After all the words I said, you still don't want to forgive me, huh? OK, if that's the case, go ahead and solve this problem using fair methods. Get ready, okay!
After being lifted and twisted so hard, in the end I managed to freefall and land on the ground.
It's true, kid, my patience is like ocean waves when a storm hits.
"Hoooooooohhhhhh!"
What? Do you want to wait for him to launch an attack like that? Euuu, really lazy, suwer dah.
As soon as both heels had hit the surface, without thinking, I immediately stepped forward, positioning my arms slightly raised to be slightly lower than my neck, trying to target an annoying human being in the form of a small woman.
Haaah….
Seriously, is it a sin if I kill that kid? I was really annoyed by his behavior, it's genuine, there's no debate.
"Hoooohhhhhh…."
Keep going, faster and faster, soon I will almost arrive.
Remaining in a position with both arms raised, I kept moving my legs even though my life could be taken away in the blink of an eye.
Come on, run and don't just stay silent!
"Want to give life, huh?"
"Noisy!"
Taaaanggg
Argghhhhh… damn it! Sometimes he calls things like that. Grrrhhh, just watch out, Sasha, your body will be gone soon.
While responding to Sasha's words, I, who was quite close, spontaneously turned around, raised my right hand above my head, lowered the long sword so that it could stick into the head of the boy in front of me.
Yes, I think that my plan is perfect. Sasha tried to dodge, but a typical medieval weapon suddenly stuck in her head. However, it is very unfortunate, expectations are too high.
Moments before the iron tip touched Sasha's unique hair, a light sword suddenly appeared out of nowhere, gripped tightly in one of the opponent's arms, moving to ward off my sword's slash before splashes of blood flew everywhere.
Etdah, even though I was so confident that I would win. It turns out, oh it turns out, expectations are always not in line with reality.
Haaaaah... I'm tired, I swear.
"Oh, participant number 100."
What? Want to say insulting words again, huh? Seriously, you have no intention of changing, do you? I'm dizzy, no, I'm sick of everything you say!
"Grrrhhh!!"
"What?!!"
What the f*! Hey kid, you're still underage. Next time your words are filtered, not like this, just play around with it. Great indeed!
While trying to push as hard as I could, I moved a sword that was stuck so that it continued to position Sasha's sword so that it could burn her own body.
Hehehe, my idea is clever, it's just that this kid has unusual stamina. Naturally, the descendant of an Elemental Wizard with a power type of 5 earth elements, it is not surprising that he has stamina above the average normal human.
Haaah... I hope I can hurt him, even though that idea is just wishful thinking.
