Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 325

'Huh ...... how did this happen ......'

I muttered to myself and shook my head helplessly as I turned my head down.

Perhaps seeing such a figure, cheers can be heard from the surroundings, "Master Rid, please do your best!" and cheers from the children of the Beast Tribe can be heard.

I reacted and looked up, and although I was disappointed inside, I smiled and waved to the audience with a smile on my face, saying "ahaha ......".

Well, now I'm standing on the martial arts stage at the venue where the Battle of the Bowls was held, wearing a headband on my forehead.

Why did this happen? It goes back to when I introduced Farah to the beastmen children at the Second Order's lodge.

When I introduced her to the Beastmen children, Ovelia of the Rabbit Tribe began to tell me that as my wife, I should 'show her the power she deserves'.

Originally, it would have been fine to ignore this, but when Farah said, "I think you're right too", the conversation became complicated.

I sighed again unbeknownst to myself, 'Ha ......', and began to think back on the events that had just taken place.

It was when Ovelia of the Rabbit People tribe talked to Farah.

She didn't expect Fara to nod, and when she heard the reply, she was stunned for a moment, but immediately grinned.

'Ha-ha, as expected of Master Rid's 'wife'. I didn't think you would give me an immediate answer."

'No, no, I can't allow you to do that⁉ What's up with Farah all of a sudden too?'

I hurriedly speak to Ovelia to stop her, and I look at her with a puzzled look on my face.

But she gazes straight at me with a twinkle in her eye and begins to talk leisurely.

'...... Actually, ever since the marriage was made official, I've been thinking about what I need to do to stand next to Master Rid, the son of the frontier count."

Uh-huh."

I, losing momentum, nodded at her words for the time being.

Then Fara turned her gaze from me to the children of the beastmen and, as if to make a speech, her powerful, dignified voice echoed through the conference room.

'As a result, since the Bardia territory is a territory located on the borders of various countries, the possibility of a crisis occurring at some point cannot be dismissed. At that time, if I have the 'power to fight', I will surely be able to help you. ...... In other words, as the wife of a frontier count, learning martial arts is of great importance. I assume that you are concerned about that too, Ovelia-san."

Ovelia, who had been taken aback by the sudden question, huffed and nodded hurriedly and said, "Oh, oh. That's right ......," she replied.

However, from her appearance, I involuntarily poked at her in my mind, (Ovelia, you definitely don't understand⁉).

Farah nodded at her reply and continued to speak further.

'I had been learning 'martial arts' in my home country before coming to Bardia territory. As Master Rid's wife, I would like to take this opportunity to show you and Master Rid my abilities.'

"Eh, ......?"

As soon as she finishes crisply, I am taken aback and there is a moment of silence in the conference room.

Shortly afterwards, cheers were raised from the huffing and puffing beastmen children.

Mia from the Cat Tribe, Sheryl from the Wolf Tribe and Aria from the Bird Tribe were the first to raise their hands and say, "Please show me your ability, Fara-sama! and voices began to rise from all over the place.

In the midst of this, Ovelia shouted angrily, "Hey, I was the first one to call out to her! she shouted angrily.

However, the raising of the beastmen's hands did not stop.

Or perhaps it is just my imagination that there are so many girls.

I was surprised to find myself raising my voice.

'Everyone, be silent for a moment! Quiet! Or else you'll be ...... going without rice!"

My comment was the word of a crane, and all the beastmen in the meeting room instantly fell silent.

I put my hand on my forehead and looked at Farah.

'Farah, no matter how much you want me to, I'd be in trouble if you suddenly told me something like this. Of course, I'm flattered by the sentiment.'

'I apologise for the sudden remark. But I want to stand alongside Master Rid in both name and reality. Please, will you allow me to do so ......?"

When she said this, she stared at me with slightly moistened eyes.

I almost nodded my head, but she said, "No, yes. I'm glad you feel that way, but ......", I thought back.

At that moment, Asuna, who was standing by Farah's side, also looked at me as if to ask me for a favor.

'Rid-sama, I also ask you to do something for me. I would like to ask you to give me the opportunity to show off the princess's abilities. The princess has always wanted to stand next to Master Rid, and has endured severe training day in and day out. Please, can you take my feelings into consideration?"

When she finishes, she bows her head.

The dark elves present bowed at the same time, except for Farrah.

Then, as if to finish off, Farah looked at me and said, "Master Rid. Please, please", and bowed politely

I mutter in my mind (What should I do? This situation ......) in my mind, I looked at Deanna and Capella, but both of them were quietly shaking their heads.

From their expressions, I could read the words 'please give up'.

I tried to make everyone look up at me for the time being, and hung my head as if I had given up.

Then, slowly, I look up and smile.

'...... okay. Then, let's do the 'bowl battle' that me and everyone else did. Then I think we can see what Farah is capable of.'

'Thank you, Master Rid!'

As soon as she finished, Fara burst into a bright, full smile.

The beastmen children also cheered, but I quickly continue with my next words

'However,...... Farah and everyone in the Second Order can't really have a 'bowl battle'.'

When I said that, the beastmen shouted in surprise, "Eeeeeeee⁉".

And Fara, who looked just as puzzled as they did, asked me a question.

"Then, who am I going to have a bowl battle with?"

"Of course, I, your husband. If Fara, my wife, wants to show her 'power' for me, then I am the only one she wants to fight with."

The words were unexpected from her point of view.

Fara huffed and nodded happily, blushing as her ears moved up and down.

'Well then, Master Rid. Let's have a 'bowl battle' right now!'

'He...... Yes, right now?'

I was taken aback, as I had no intention of having a bowl battle right now, but she continues talking briskly.

'Yes, of course. I told you earlier that it is rare for all the members of the Second Order to get together. Then I think we should do it now."

"Uh-huh. Yes, yes."

In the end, the momentum and power of the Fara was too much for me, and in the blink of an eye, we were on our way to the venue for the Bowl Battle.

Of course, all the members of the Second Order were with us.

And now I'm on the stage waiting for Farah to finish her preparations for the Hachimaki Battle. ......

I stood in the middle of the stage and looked up to see Aria and the other bird people flying happily.

I wonder if Aria noticed my gaze and cheered, "Master Rid, I'm cheering for you!"

Just as I was about to reply to the sky, a bright voice echoed from the front.

'Sorry, sorry for the wait.'

In response to the voice, I returned my gaze from the sky to the ground, and there was Fara, dressed in a 'martial arts outfit' like those used in kendo, smiling prettily at me.

Her long hair is tied back and she wears a Hachimaki on her forehead.

Her appearance gives a more dignified impression than usual.

When she came straight to me, she blushed a little.

"Master Rid. How do you like my appearance?"

'Umm, yes. That appearance is also cute."

When Fara heard my answer, she happily whispered "ehehe" and giggled, and put her hands on her cheeks and moved her ears up and down.

Seeing this expression, I felt that she had many different expressions, and smiled and said, "Huh, she's cute after all".

Shortly afterwards, Capella arrived on the stage as a judge and roared out to the audience as she entered the space between us.

'Now, we will begin the bowl match between 'Fara Bardia-sama' and 'Rid Bardia-sama'. The rules are: either the opponent catches the headband on the forehead, or the opponent falls out of the ring. The referee will decide that the match cannot continue. Are you both ready?

"Yes, we're ready. "

"Yes, good. I'm fine too."

Me and Fara smiled and nodded at each other.

Shortly afterwards, Capella's voice roared through the hall, "Then we will begin the battle of the bowls", and everyone in the Second Order cheered.

I didn't immediately take up my stance, but smiled at her and gently called out to Farah.

'Alright. Then let's begin. Come to me wherever you are, Fara.

'Hmph. Master Rid looks so much bigger than usual when we meet like this. But I'm going to win if I'm trying too!'

When she said that, she did a backflip with all her might and took distance.

What is she going to do?

Towards me, who tilted her head in puzzlement, Farah said in a strong tone.

'Master Rid, ...... I will go all out from the start. Please accept my determination.'

'Uh-huh? I understand."

I felt a bad premonition in her eyes, which were filled with some kind of determination, and I involuntarily braced myself.

Then, I deployed the lightning-attribute magic 'Electric Field' and searched for Fara's presence.

(Nn ......? It's a trembling sensation with great pressure, but what is ...... this?)

At the very moment I felt doubt, her voice roared through the hall.

'Fierce Tiger ...... Wind Blast Wave!'

At the same time as Fara's words, a roar echoed through the area.

It was like an even louder and more intense version of Cookie's yell, the 'Shadow Cougar',...... or perhaps this is already close to the sound of an explosion.

However, I was more astonished than that, "na......⁉".

Because at the same time as the roar rang out, a 'gust of wind' was coming in a straight line towards us.

I sensed the presence of Farah activating her magic due to the 'electric field' and instantly deployed the magic barrier wall.

But something unexpected happens here.

(Oh no...... the magic barrier wall breaks⁉)

At that moment, a sound like glass breaking rang out in the hall.

Yes, my barrier wall was shattered into tiny pieces because it couldn't withstand Farrah's magic.

'Gaaaaaahhh⁉'.

The magic wall cancelled out most of the impact, but even so, it was not enough to erase the impact, and I was blown away from the spot.

I managed to pass out of the way and hold on to the edge of the stage, and then regain my stance.

Then I slowly turned my gaze to Farah.

I had no idea that she had such a big move.

When I and the audience were stunned into silence, Farah smiled prettily.

'Hmm, as expected of Master Rid. But ...... there's still a long way to go.'

'Haha ...... this is a bit, I guess, unexpected.'

Feeling her unfathomable presence, I pull a wry smile on my face.

But Fara is right, the bowl war has only just begun.

What other hidden tricks does she have,......, I was filled with anticipation and anxiety.
