Chapter 331: We Who Broke Through Prelims Decided to Return to the Bus Carriage

The reason is unknown but probably from the battle-suit auxiliary function I can tell Duran is following from behind.

’Now then Masaharu-san. I will control the battle-suit functions so please fight without holding back.’

’Eh? What do you mean control functions? Is the opponent outrageously strong?’

’No, the opposite. Battle-suit functions will be used to suppress Masaharu-san’s combat ability.’

’Eh?’

Suppress my ability?

Not a mishearing right.

For now when I made contact the opponent got scared and swung a sword so I put a backfist into its side and destroyed the weapon.

I circled behind, lightly kicked the back of the knee, from knee-kakun I grabbed the shoulder and pulled and made the opponent fall.

With this this guy’s back touched the ground so disqualification.

I resumed movement aiming for the next enemy.

’Because the opponents are all men if you enter their body-odor sphere Masaharu-san cannot get erect so you cannot use masturbation-type abilities but even considering that if you fight ordinarily in the worst case the opponent will vanish together with armor without even meat pieces remaining.’

’Eh? You said it lightly but when I approach men within a certain distance I cannot use masturbation-type abilities?’

’I ask conversely but did you think you could use them?’

’I-I see. In a place that smells of steamed male body odor inside armor I cannot get erect. In other words all masturbation-type abilities cannot be used.’

The second enemy released a weapon like a chain weight so I received it with my left arm. The chain wrapped. It became a tug-of-war, equilibrated only an instant, but when I put force and pulled at once the opponent staggered forward and released the weapon.

The enemy who released the chain weight drew a broadsword from the waist.

’Masaharu-san underestimates his own combat ability too much. All right? Even normal-time Masaharu-san if he does a full-power punch a human-level vanishes.’

’That cannot be... Ah, no, come to think of it before when I was traveling with Esty-san and Shepa three people I kicked a slime and it vanished...’

’Masaharu-san is convinced his own strength is around not losing to B-rank knights but perhaps struggling against A-rank knights and is limiting his own ability.’

’Actually is my strength around that?’

’No. Stronger than A-rank knights. When fighting with only physical ability without using skills or magic the only one whose flesh remains on the ground even taking Masaharu-san’s full-power punch is Dragunov who is said to be the strongest.’

The instant the enemy raised the broadsword I strongly kicked the ground, approached in front of the opponent, and grabbed the elbow. The enemy who became unable to swing down the broadsword tried to step back so I released the elbow, grabbed the helmet, and advanced as if running past the opponent’s side. The opponent fell, combat-incapable judgment.

The third thrusting a sword from behind Duran deflected.

’If you displayed original ability you should not have struggled against yesterday’s Maria. If the opponent is a woman Masaharu-san limits his own strength so as not to injure. That is fine. But when facing a man if by some chance you put out full power—’

’The opponent vanishes together with armor... Come to think of it when I full-power attacked orcs also vanished...’

’Yes. Therefore the battle suit will become a limiter that suppresses ability so even if Masaharu-san does a full-power punch the opponent does not vanish.’

’I understand. Thank you.’

’No. Thanks are unnecessary. Recently Mirai became able to crawl. She is growing healthily. All thanks to Masaharu-san. Please do not forget. I have the debt of connecting one civilization to the future.’

’I am also being taken care of so you do not need to be thanked that much. Mutual. Also it is essentially thanks to Lucia so please keep making games with capybara as subject.’

’Of course.’

The third whose weapon was knocked from his hand leaped to pin Duran but Duran lightly handled it and the opponent fell as if he slipped his feet.

In this way I together with Duran also swept the remaining enemies.

I am in a state with a debuff that all abilities drop from knight body odor but even so if I do a full-power punch it becomes power that even an A-rank knight would get about a fracture so I need to fight with moderate force.

Prelims we passed without problem.

The main battle is from afternoon so a little time opened and I released the golden armor then together with everyone moved to the subspace spectator seats.

Shepa and Petit Letree noticed first and turned their faces toward us.

If they leap I will stroke their ass.

However—

"Fua! Arutimetto Ekusupurojon!"

"Nani?!"

Raba was waiting on the step one above.

Because the spectator-seat front-row left is the entrance-exit she hid on the second step that becomes my blind spot!

Mofu.

She hugged my thigh.

"Baaningyu Sharamandaa!"

"Guaaaaaaah! Completely unexpected attack from a blind spot! That this me is defeated again aa!"

I crouched groaning.

As is I grabbed Raba’s torso and put her on my shoulders.

"Come to think of it thanks to Raba I was saved yesterday. Thank you. Ultimate Explosion being an explosion-like technique name but actually a movement technique is good."

"Douimatashute."

"You are welcome."

"Doitamasute."

"Alright. Well that is fine. Everyone. Time opened until afternoon so shall we return to the bus carriage? Or watch prelims?"

When I proposed there was no particular objection and we decided to return and take lunch together with companions.

Now then that aside.

"Elsa. Did Ana already appear?"

"Yes. She appeared third. Of course prelim pass. It was very wonderful."

"I see. Good you could see Onee-san fighting after a long time."

"Yes. But I am troubled. If Onee-san and Masaharu-san fight I will cheer for Onee-san. I am sorry to Masaharu-san."

"No that cannot be helped and you need not hold back."

"Being told that I feel easier."

"Alright. Then let us return to the bus carriage. Elf-san. I leave the wind horse to you."

We left the arena, rode the wind horse, and headed west.
