Realm Wall, stage area. Grand Ceremony Operations Headquarters, Main Hall.
" NoName " and the other participants gathered inside the palace. With injured people everywhere, the black rabbit and Ren found Sixteen Nights and jumped in front of him worriedly.
[Mr. Sixteen Nights, are you alright?!]」
"I'm fine. What about the other members?」
"Unfortunately, apart from Mr. Sixteen Nights and Black Rabbit, everyone else is covered in wounds. Miss Asuka's whereabouts are still unknown…I'm really sorry, if only I could pull myself together…!」
Ren lowered his head regretfully. Although he was not in the wrong, he still felt that he should take responsibility. On the other hand, Yao and Laeticia were both exhausted from fighting with the enemy, and they were not in a state where they could immediately fight with the enemy again. After confirming the situation, the black rabbit said in a bitter tone,"
"After receiving the message from Lord White Yaksha, they immediately launched a deliberation and resolution... but it seems that they were still a step too late.」
"Speaking of which, what is a deliberation resolution?」
"It is one of the privileges granted to the judgment controller who has the 'trial right'. It can be used to confirm whether the rules created based on the' organizer's right'.」
[The rules are incomplete?]
「YES。According to Young Master Ren's message, it was said that 'there may not be a certain winning condition in this game.' Regardless of whether it was true or not, since the designated leader of the game, Lord White Yaksha, had raised an objection, then the 'organizer' and the 'contestant' had to study whether the rules were imperfect. Moreover, because it could forcefully interrupt the game that had already started, there was another meaning to it. It was to resist the authority of the Demon King who often launched surprise attacks.」
[Oh…?] Simply put, was it like calling for a pause? If he could restart the game unconditionally, that would be a very powerful authority.」
Sixteen Nights could not help but say in admiration.
However, the black rabbit shook its head with a complicated expression.
[No, that's not necessarily the case. Since a deliberation resolution had been initiated to revise the rules, this was a game where the 'organizer' and the 'contestant' were equal... Well, to put it more clearly, it meant that they had made an inviolable contract that they would not hold any grudges against this game of gifts.」
Black Rabbit's explanation made Sixteen Nights raise an eyebrow.
"In other words, if we lose, can't the other members of 'Thousand Eyes' or 'Salamandra' use revenge as an excuse to start a game of gifts against the demon king?」
「YES。Therefore, if you lose, no one will come to your rescue. Please be mentally prepared.」
[Ha! He had thought that he would lose from the start, so how did he win?」
Sixteen Nights couldn't help but laugh. At this moment, the door to the hall opened, and Sandora and Mandela entered. Sandora maintained her nervous expression and announced to the participants,"
" We're going to participate in the discussion with the Demon King next. There were four people with him. The first one was Black Rabbit, the Sandbox Nobleman, and Mandela was sent by Salamanda. If anyone else is familiar with the details of "The Piper of Hamel", please come forward to help negotiate. Is there anyone willing?"
There was a commotion among the participants. The black rabbit had also said before that everyone knew that the scope of fairy tales was extremely limited. Even if some people had heard about Fu Cheng's general story, there were still not many people who knew the details.
Without anyone stepping forward, Sixteen Nights grabbed Ren by the collar.
[Ren Russell is more familiar with 'The Piper of Hamel' than anyone else!」
[... Ah? Eh? Wait…wait a minute…Mr. Sixteen Nights!」
Ren was shocked when he heard Sixteen Nights 'sudden words.
Sixteenth Night continued to speak half-jokingly,"
[It's really familiar! Super familiar! Very useful! Regarding this incident, there was no one else who could contribute to 'Salamandra', other than the leader of' No Name 'Rachel Russell!」
[Benevolence?]
Sandora looked over in surprise. Although she had a childish reaction for a moment, she immediately shook her head and regained her determined expression.
[If no one else is willing, then I'll have to ask Ren Lasalle from 'NoNam', is that okay?」
Sandora's decision caused the commotion to grow.
[Nameless…?] [Which community?] [Can you believe it?] [Is it the community that is participating in the finals?」[This is too exaggerated.] "Hey, is there anyone else who can-"
Although there were suggestions for others to go with them, there were no signs of anyone willing to go.
However, if " Nameless " were to be a representative to participate in the game negotiation meeting that would determine their fate, everyone would naturally feel uneasy. Ren did not recommend himself because he sensed the atmosphere. However, Sixteen Nights revealed a sinister expression and whispered to him,"
[Are you a fool? Why does that kid study with you every night in the library? Of course, he had to make use of this opportunity to perform well.」
[But…but…]
Ren's eyes wandered. The reason why he visited the library every day was not just to introduce Sixteenth Nights to Sandcourt. It was precisely because they lacked talent that they worked hard, hoping to contribute to the future of the community. Coincidentally, this was a game where this knowledge could be put to use.
" If you're concerned about the opinions of the people around you, yes, it's a good thing. If not wanting to cause trouble for anyone is your way of survival, then I have nothing to complain about. However, you are our representative, so in the future, you will definitely encounter situations that cannot be resolved unless you show your self-determination. Did I say anything wrong?"
[... Woo...]
After listening to Sixteen Nights 'speech, Ren gritted his teeth and raised his head. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Uneasiness and dissatisfaction. Amidst the turbid negative gazes, only the black rabbit and Sandora looked at him with anticipation.
[You don't want to be called a parasite anymore, do you? Didn't you say you wanted to change? Then why don't you show off your cool performance to everyone around you and take the initiative to step forward, our 'leader'?」
