Hyahhaa, He is the Most Important Person Here

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

“Hey, hey, don’t bully my subordinates too much.” (Obul)

A man spoke lightly from behind.

Besides Cas, he was the person I had seen the most during the 40 days since being thrown into the Colosseum… Obul. Or rather, even though he was just a staff member, his tone was as if he was the most important person here.

“…Well, I can’t stand it if the Colosseum gets completely messed up. Just as you are thinking now, I am Markus Cornelius Obul, the manager of this Colosseum’s operations.” (Obul)

Obul scratched his mohawk and introduced himself shyly.

If I remember correctly, in the Romania Empire, when a slave is freed, they take their former name as their surname. That means Obul is likely a freed slave. Well, that doesn’t really matter though.

“I see. Then, tell me about the woman who claims to be an ally and put me here.” (Harold)

“Since we made a deal, it’s a matter of trust not to give out personal information.” (Obul)

“That’s too late now. You can stay silent if you want, but if you do, I won’t be able to stop what I’m about to do.” (Harold)

I glanced at Xandra and Monica, who looked like they were about to jump out any moment and said this with a little jest.

If Obul shook his head, the Colosseum would probably become rubble.

“All right, I give up. I’ll tell you.” (Obul)

Obul threw up his hands in defeat and, somewhat amused, explained the details about the woman. About 40 days ago at midnight, that woman came to the Colosseum wearing a hood and accompanied by a giant man carrying me. According to the woman, “He has defiled my ‘precious thing’. Therefore, I abandoned him and want to show him hell here”. she declared.

Obul asked the woman for my identity and background, but she refused to answer. Feeling suspicious, Obul tried to refuse the deal. But… Obul had no choice but to accept me. The reason was…

“That woman threatened me. She said, ‘If you don’t accept, I will tell Ariana Nomades that Despina Nomades is here’.” (Obul)

“Ariana… Nomades?” (Harold)

“Yeah. She’s Despina’s younger sister who is here.” (Obul)

“…” (Harold)

When I heard Obul’s words and looked over, Despina bit her lip and looked down.

Apparently, there were various circumstances. Most likely it was connected to what Obul told me recently about the Nomades Kingdom that was destroyed, Despina became a slave, and her sister lives a contrasting life as a symbol of the Nomades people.

“If you look at her face, you can guess to some extent, but to explain anyway, Despina is a slave because of her sister.” (Obul)

“I see…” (Harold)

Whether it was to protect the Nomades Kingdom or just to save her own life, for some reason Ariana must have handed over her sister.

“So, Obul, why are you sheltering her? Normally, she should be like a curse to you.” (Harold)

“…Well, even freed slaves have a sense of loyalty.” (Obul)

Obul looked up at the sky and answered somewhat sadly.

I don’t know the details, but for this man, there must have been a reason to want to save Despina.

Even if he looked like Hyahhaa at sunset, the atmosphere was ruined. (TLN: Not sure what is the reference)

“There is still something I don’t understand. Why did you have her fight a magical beast in the match two days ago? To say it plainly, she could have been seriously injured.” (Harold)

“That magical beast is the woman’s servant. She left it here to watch you… or rather, me, to make sure I don’t do anything unnecessary.” (Obul)

Obul frowned and said this bitterly. That beast was also a nuisance to him.

“And, well, that magical beast obeyed the woman’s orders faithfully, but after all, it’s a magical beast. When it realized it could eat a human, it willingly entered the arena.” (Obul)

“Still, having Despina fight it…” (Harold)

“What are you talking about? Despina wouldn’t lose to a mere magical beast.” (Obul)

Obul said confidently, but from my perspective, their skills weren’t that far apart. I wonder if he was underestimating it a little.

“Well, whatever. Anyway, you defeated the woman’s servant who kidnapped me in the duel. That woman will probably tell Ariana about Despina.” (Harold)

“That’s right… Actually, I never thought you were the real prince of the Dehaubalz Kingdom. I might get into serious trouble from that side too…” (Obul)

When he said that, Obul glanced at me with a flattering look.

There is absolutely no need for his Hyahhaa gaze, and I would rather refuse it. But still…

“For me, coming here was not without gains. I don’t intend to do anything against Obul or the Colosseum. Also…” (Harold)

“…?” (Obul)

“Despina can’t stay here either. It’s better to move her somewhere else, somewhere Ariana can’t interfere.” (Harold)

“!?” (Obul)

In other words, that’s what it means. Even though she’s an event boss, I’m not the kind of heavy user who can watch an Enhaz character suffer misfortune silently.

“Is that really okay…?” (Obul)

“Of course. Besides, this isn’t the first time for this kind of event… ahem.” (Harold)

Cas, who is also an event boss, is my partner, and Themis, who manages this world, is around as well. Despina seems calm and sensible for a former princess, so there’s no problem at all.

“That’s why, Despina, I’m counting on you from now on.” (Harold)

“Y-yes…” (Despina)

Despina strongly grasped the right hand I offered and looked down.

Well, judging by appearances, she’s about our age, so it might not be bad for her to spend time as a student at the Royal Academy… or rather.

“Fufu… ufufufufu…” (Alexandra)

Um, why are Xandra’s eyes shining red?

“Your Highness Harold, be careful. Milady’s jealousy is going through the roof.” (Monica)

“Ehh…” (Harold)

Apparently, my wife won’t even allow me to shake hands with other girls. Having a jealous wife is tough… but actually, I don’t mind at all. I welcome it.

“Well then, shall we go home?” (Harold)

“Fufufufu… Once we get home, I will lock up Haru-sama so no one else can touch him.” (Alexandra)

“Let’s not do that.” (Harold)

I desperately tried to calm Xandra, who was grinning devilishly.

Having a heavy love is fine, but it’s starting to cause real harm now.
