410 Calculation

Its early in the morning, the day before the tournament.

Niku and I were using the arena for one last touch on our preparation.

Oi, Kehma, your timing just now is

ah, I see its better to make it go slower

By the way, I ask some advice from Sebas, and since then he has seen my fighting style, and it seems hes mellowed down after that, we are friends now.

Thanks to his advice my fighting skill has improved, my movement without Golem Clothes also getting better, in combination with my firepower it seems like I had a minimum ability to participate in the tournament now. At least Sebas has said so.

(Participants usually must go through a qualifier rounds then you can enter main events. But since you are an exchange student from other countries we exempt you from that)

In the case of Niku, she will at least reach 8th place or higher, with that our chance to win [Gods Pajama] is increased. And Im still hiding my trump card (that only I aware of) I think our chance to get the prize is pretty good.

By the way, Dungeon cores will participate in different tournaments separate from this tournament where the second prize is [Gods Pajama]. The first-place winner prize is the rights to challenge the Great Demon Lord (core number 6), its a prize for a battle maniac, for me [Gods Pajama] is a better prize, no doubt about that.

Honetsly, I didnt think that puppy will grow so fast in this short amount of time

Fufu, isnt shes awesome? Niku won against Sebas in today mock battle.

That Niku started running around the arena at neck-breaking speed to build up her strength even more.

Also, she can stop her breathing for a minute now. It looks like shes been training after been told by Aidi that [Breathing is weakness], its kind of funny that she actually can practice that.

Oi Kehma, who that puppy really is? Where do you find her?

Shes my hugging pillow, well, before she was cheap beast slave that I saved from bandits

She is cheap? is it the Empire levels that too high? Or poor judgement from slave trader. I wonder which one is it

She has the growth potential which no normal beastman had; my support may also boosting that growth.

Moreover, her clothes are lined up by Orichalcum grain that I produce every day. Its a new safety procedure. So I just replied to him with a smile.

I wonder if I can [Gods Pajamas] without the need to negotiate with the winner, I was sure my face is making a perverted grin right now.

Aidi, Rokuko and Ichika come to us.

Shes really did it

Yes my Lady, she did take one winning from me

Well Master, are prepared to be punished later?

tsk, for sure my Lady

Sebas is annoyed. Sending that Sebas a sidelong glance, Rokuko come to me and hands me a towel.

Here Kehma, you are sweating a lot you tried really hard this time.

Well yeah, because this time [Gods Pajama] is the prize, I need it for my daily good night sleep

You really spare no effort if its for your sleep

I wiped the sweat from my face with a towel I received from Rokuko. When I returned it to her I said [My back is also sweaty] she then put the towel in [storage] and then cast [Clean] on me. wait, from the beginning isnt [Clean] would suffice?

Afterall tomorrow is the tournament, but I dont have enough confidence to get [Gods Pajama]

eh? What are you talking about? Arent you only need to give up at the final and get second prize

Rokuko said that like thats a matter of fact, of course, if I could just do that, then I wont have this problem in the first place.

Do you really think me or Niku can win all the way to final?

Of course, Im trained with you! Im confident that you will make it to the final

Its not for certain Rokuko, I learned a lot after sparring with Sebas. this [Elemental Shot] can be evaded by people on his caliber, can I really avoid people like Sebas until I reach the final?

Thats the fact, Sebas can avoid this shot. And once I missed, he will immediately jump in for the counter-attack, I had a plan to leave the retreat maneuver to clothes golem, but I just cant aim in roller-coaster-like movement caused by clothes golem. Its easier to aim while I am standing still.

As a result, I can only do once or two decent shots while he approaches me. If only I can use Rokukos [Elemental Flash] idea, the fight will flow in a better direction.

e? What are you talking about? You dont have to ignore those attacks, just shoot at them.

What am I talking about? What are you talking about? I cant just ignore their attack

I thought you going to borrow my blanket?

eh?

blanket? did you mean [Gods Comforter]?

OfCourse it is, why would I lend you normal blanket?

Wait. That is.., if I can use [Gods Comforter] then

Just a minute Rokuko, are you sure you can ignore the attack with [Gods Comforter]?

Yes, [father] has guaranted me that the [Gods Comforter] has an absolute defense

Attack Invalidation? That Comforter is too overpowered.

In other words, I can use the blanket and just barrage my enemy with magic, I will become an invincible magic turret, or better, just wear it like a poncho, and you can be a magic tank.

Therefore if the enemy can be defeated by [Elemental Shoot], then you can undoubtedly win the tournament. Said Rokuko.

Afterall theres no chance that I will run out of ammo. My recovery may fall a little behind the [Elemental Shot] cost, but that is the case without calculating the [Gods Comforter] recovery effect. Hahaha.

Isnt that cheating?

Theres an example case like Aidi, if its counts as cheating when you use magic tools created by my [father] then Magic Sword user should be prohibited? Aidi is Magic Sword type core and she is [father] creation isnt it?

That was pushing it, but valid logic

Also, this tournament accepted the use of golem right? What stopping you from using magic armor?

that actually makes sense

Rokuko theory about Aidi I dont see any problem with that.

yeah, I can get it with brute force.

To think that I was actually preparing to get [Gods Pajama] by negotiating with the winner.

Before I know it I was influenced by this Demon Kingoms way too, Maybe all this Udon has eroded my brain.

Aidi groups seems to go to challenge Great Demon Lord, while we are aiming at the [Gods Pajama], we can just give up first prize to them, right Kehma?

Yeah, you are right

But this makes me feel like Im cheating, though it suits me as cowardly Dungeons Master. Lets aim for second place and get that [Gods Pajama].

Master, what should I do?

Niku stopped running and look at me.

Is she anxious because I can get Gods Pajama without relying on her? Well Niku is mine and Rokuko bodyguard, its never wrong for her to get stronger.

Niku you are you, why dont you aim as high as possible? you can get any prize you want

understood

Niku, just go for it! I know you can win this

Yes, I will do my best

No, I wont say it easy, because theres always a possibility that something will happen, so it may be still difficult to win this tournament.
