Get a Hold of Yourself

“Well then, I will announce the results of the deliberation. The number division winner remains unchanged, with Leon-san’s party taking first place at eighty-eight bodies. As for the quality division, we have officially recognized the orcs hunted by Leon-san’s party as Emperor Orcs, and judged them to be superior to the King Orc hunted by Lancelot-san’s party. Therefore, Leon-san’s party will be the winner. With this, the overall championship also goes to Leon-san’s party.” (Official)

“““Ooooooh!””” (Adventurers)

The adventurers erupted in excitement.

“No way. It really was an Emperor Orc?” (Adventurer A)

“To win overall at that age… and even defeat Lancelot, an S-rank adventurer…” (Adventurer B)

“I mean, that kid is alone, not even a party…” (Adventurer C)

“On top of that, taking care of kids while hunting…” (Adventurer D)

Leon received those awed gazes.

(…How did it come to this? And aren’t King Orcs and Emperor Orcs basically the same? It should just be about whose body is bigger.) (Leon)

While the twins happily high-fived, shouting “We won!”, Leon sighed.

“Hey, after doing something that amazing, you’re not happy at all.” (Adventurer)

“It’s like that’s just breakfast for you?” Adventurer)

“He’s a big deal…” (Adventurer)

The adventurers misunderstood Leon’s muted reaction.

“So, S-rank isn’t such a big deal after all.” (Adventurer E)

“To lose to a kid and all.” (Adventurer F)

“Well, we lost too…” (Adventurer G)

More such whispers spread here and there. Hearing this, Lancelot raised his voice and shouted.

“I won’t accept this! I’m an S-rank adventurer! It’s impossible for me to lose to a child!” (Lancelot)

While everyone gasped, he stepped right in front of Leon. Then, while pointing his finger, he said…

“Fight me here and now. If you truly defeated an Emperor Orc, I want to see that power.” (Lancelot)

Ugh, what a pain… Leon thought inwardly.

“I, as an S-rank adventurer, will determine your true strength.” (Lancelot)

(Huh? This guy is an S-rank adventurer?) (Leon)

Leon was surprised. He had never heard clearly before since multiple voices overlapped whenever the topic came up among the adventurers. This was a troubling situation, and Leon scratched his head. If he fought and won, he would become far too famous. But if he lost, he might be accused of cheating.

““We’ll do it!”” (Arc/Iris)

Unaware of their master’s distress, the twins readied themselves aggressively, as if intending to fight.

‘Wanna kill him?’ (Sura)

(No, no.) (Leon)

To make matters worse, three beautiful women who were party members stood with stern faces beside Lancelot. They were surely dissatisfied with their own defeat and intended to accuse Leon. As Leon grew weary,

“““Enough already, you idiot!””” (Three Women)

“Ugh!?” (Lancelot)

They all struck Lancelot at once.

“““…Huh?””” (Leon/Staff/Adventurers)

Everyone, including Leon, the staff, and adventurers, was stunned by this unexpected turn, having assumed they would side with Lancelot. Ignoring the reactions around them, the women surrounded Lancelot and scolded him together.

“What are you so worked up about? It’s childish.” (Woman 1)

“Just admit defeat already.” (Woman 2)

“You’ve been trying to look cool since yesterday, but honestly, it just makes you creepy.” (Woman 3)

“Gah!” (Lancelot)

He looked shocked and held his head with teary eyes. Then, the women turned toward Leon and apologized.

“Sorry about our idiot making a fuss.” (Woman 1)

“He’s still a kid inside. You’re probably much more mature.” (Woman 2)

“Without a doubt, you’re the winner here.” (Woman 3)

“Y-Yeah…” (Leon)

Leon gave a vague nod. The adventurers murmured among themselves.

“So, the rumor that all three of them were Lancelot’s women was false…” (Adventurer A)

“It seems that way…” (Adventurer B)

“Actually, it looks more like he’s totally under their thumbs? T-That might actually be kind of enviable… haha…” (Adventurer C)

Perhaps having heard the surrounding reactions, the trio of women spoke with harsh words.

“Sure, he looks good and has ability, but his insides are like this.” (Woman 1)

“He’s annoyingly pretentious about everything.” (Woman 2)

“If he weren’t an S-rank adventurer, we’d have disbanded the party already.” (Woman 3)

Lancelot clenched his fists and stood up.

“Guh… but I haven’t given up! One day, I will win over your hearts and build a harem!” (Lancelot)

The trio simultaneously kicked Lancelot.

“Gyauh!?” (Lancelot)

“That’s why you’re gross. Maybe you should just die once?” (Woman 1)

“If you want a harem, go make it outside this party.” (Woman 2)

“You might be able to manage it if the girls don’t know what you’re really like.” (Woman 3)

Lancelot had already been beaten and kicked several times and he was now completely worn out.

“I’m still kind of jealous… haha…” (Adventurer)

There were a few adventurers with unusual tastes who looked at the scene with envy, but the majority, now aware of the truth behind the S-rank adventurer, wore expressions that said, “Well, no one gets everything handed to them unconditionally”.

After the commotion, the outcome remained unchanged. Leon had won in quality, quantity, and overall. Silue approached him and spoke.

“As expected of you, Leon-kun.” (Silue)

“…Yeah.” (Leon)

“What’s wrong? You don’t seem happy at all.” (Silue)

“That’s not true…” (Leon)

“Oh, right. It’s not official yet, but with what happened today, I think you’ll probably be promoted to B-rank. If everything goes well, there’s even a chance you’ll jump straight to A-rank.” (Silue)

“I see.” (Leon)

“?” (Silue)

Leon nodded as if he had given up, and Silue tilted her head in puzzlement.
