Despite being targeted by all the other contestants, Goritia seemed rather happy.
“Oh my~, it looks like I’m very popular♡.”
He winked at them with an flirty smile on his face, and “Ueee” sounds were heard all over the hall venue. The cheeks of the contestants surrounding him also twitched and some even involuntarily tried to look away.
“You there!”
“!?”
Goritia, suddenly shouts at a swordsman man.
“You should never look away in the middle of a fight, you know? If that was what I wanted, you’d be dead right now!”
“-Uh….…”
The swordsman couldn’t say anything in response to his valid criticism. After a moment, he just kept his eyes on Goritia’s movements.
“That’s it! Look at me closely! Everyone too! Just look at me, got it!?”
Then, under everyone’s serious gaze, Goritia—
—started dancing.
“Tatatatatatatana~n, tatana~n, tatatatatatana~n♪”
While humming a mysterious melody, Goritia performs a superfluous graceful dance with his huge body. He seems to be conscious of the tips of his limbs, his toes are always stretched out, and the fingers of his hands, which are supposed to be muscular, move so delicately.
“Tatatatatatatana~n, tatana~n, tatatatatatana~n♪”
Perhaps because of the previous shout, no one took their eyes off him. The mysterious actions of the S-rank adventurer made the venue quiet, and only the melody of Goritia’s thick voice resounded.
As just like that, time passed. Goritia has continued to dance for about a minute.
「「「「「No, what are we being shown!?」」」」」
The other contestants in the ring all spoke up at once.
“Y-you bastard, what on earth is that dance about!?”
“I got so much attention that I just had to dance♡”
Apparently, he just wanted to dance.
“No, stop it right now! Watching it further will make me crazy!”
“This isn’t a playhouse for you, you bastard!”
“It was so scary, I might have nightmares about it!”
The contestants raised their voices.
“Oh my~, that’s a very rude thing to say, you know. How can you not understand the beauty of my dancing……?”
“What beauty!? I can’t take it anymore! Hey, let’s get this done over with! Don’t let this crazy guy do whatever he wants!”
「「「「「Ooooooh!」」」」」
Enraged, the other contestants attacked Goritia with a roar. Earlier, Fana was subjected to a barrage of attacks from her group in the same way, but she was constantly moving around the ring and successfully dodged their attacks.
—But Goritia didn’t move a single step from his spot. Swords, spears, fists, and magic hit his huge body one after another. Even though he is covered in steel-like muscles, his opponents are also skilled, they all qualified to participate in the martial arts tournament after all. It seemed that even the S-rank adventurer would not stand a chance, but—
“Ahhhhnn~ Oh, that felt so goood! Please attack me more and more……!”
“Huh!? I-impossible…. It did not work at all!?”
He did not sustain any damage. On the contrary, he seemed rather pleased.
When the others involuntarily stopped their attacks,
“No, no, don’t stop! This degree won’t please me!”
“No one is trying to please you!”
“What the hell is this guy!?”
“He’s a real monster!”
The contestants are shocked.
“Eh? Is it over already? What a pity…… I still haven’t had my fill….…”
Goritia sighs in sadness.
He fixed his stance, took a deep breath, and then he slammed his fist into the ring as hard as he could.
Zudooong!
「「「「「~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!?」」」」」
The impact was so great that the entire arena shook. A terrible crack ran through the ring, and the bodies of the contestants around him even momentarily lifted into the air.
「「「「「A, a, aaah….」」」」」
None of the contestants in the ring seemed to have any intention of continuing to fight anymore.
“You see, I don’t like bullying the weak. Then, should you give up, hmm~?”
At Goritia’s suggestion, they all nodded their heads in unison.
