Episode 191.1
In the arena, there were many other duels besides mine.
When I heard that my match with the Hunter wasnt the main event, I couldnt help but be surprised.
So whats the main event?
I asked Elga, who was sipping her ice-cold cocktail in the shaded VIP seats. She looked out at the empty arena with narrow eyes.
I dont know. They said theres some big thing at the end. Thats why no ones leaving.
It was a scorching afternoon.
Yet everyone remained in the arena, making do by fanning themselves with their hands. Everyone patiently waited in their seats because there was still the main event.
No one seemed to know what it was.
Perhaps Aira would know?
So, I scanned the lavish VIP tent, but Aira was nowhere to be seen.
Where did Aira-nim go?
I thought youd know? Hey Mirna, do you know where Aira went?
Am I Queen Taranteras handmaiden? Why are you asking me that?
Why are you being so harsh, cant you just say you dont know? Dont you realize that trying to sound strong actually makes you look weak?
Elga rejoiced as if she had scored a point. It was quite a sight to see her proudly puff out her already bountiful chest.
But Mirna, with her fan, was not to be underestimated.
Sound strong, look weak. Such a perfect phrase for you, Lady Lioness~.
Then she chuckled softly, leaving Elga looking startled that her attack had bounced back at herself.
Sensing that things might get noisy again, I spoke up.
Do you two have to argue like this?
Mirna, shes asking for it!
Like I said. It felt like it would be quicker for me to unify the continent as the great Fairy King, than to have these two reconcile.
Someday, they might have to live together as part of the same harem. But with a bad relationship like this, I had to wonder what that would be like.
What finally silenced them was someones sudden appearance in the empty arena, which was accompanied by a loud bang.
Puuuung-. Puuung-.
White, red, blue, yellow A burst of colorful smoke exploded as if it had been set up in the arena beforehand. This sudden development naturally left everyone puzzled.
Someone then appeared at the center of the arena, confidently standing under the dazzling lights of the glowstones that was visible even in broad daylight.
It was a woman wearing a dark blue hood and a white apron. She had a petite frame with slender arms and legs. But what stood out the most was the tail extending from her hips.
Salrangsalrang.
A diamond-shaped tail.
Wasnt that Marmar?
Why was Marmar here all of a sudden?
As I wondered, Marmar looked around and trembled.
Uh, why am I here?
It seemed like even she didnt know why she ended up there amidst the crowd.
I was sweeping the yard?
Marmar was holding a broom and dustpan. With the dusty apron and the debris in the dustpan, I could tell that she had just been cleaning.
What, something just appeared!
A nymph?
No, thats an imp. It has a tail. Theyre a bit more mischievous than nymphs.
After all this anticipation, only an imp with a broomstick showed up!?
The murmuring of the crowd grew louder, which also intensified the unease settling in my heart.
I couldnt help but worry about what might happen to Marmar facing the angry crowd
In a world where imp-hate prevailed, seeing Marmar thrown into the spotlight like some display to the world made my heart pound.
Beside me, Elga frowned.
Isnt that her? Was it Marumaru?
Well, its Marmar.
Whatever Seriously, imp names are difficult! So, why did she suddenly appear? Isnt she your friend?
I dont know either. What is this.
As I started getting impatient, wondering what was going on, Marmar looked around.
Are you asking me to clean here?
And so, Marmar started sweeping away the trash scattered around the arena.
Seukseuk, seukseuk.
The sudden cleaning seemed to leave everyone momentarily stunned, with a brief silence lingering in the air.
Shes surprisingly good?
She really knows how to clean, huh?
As Marmar continued cleaning, nodding heads and expressions of admiration started to spread among the onlookers, followed soon by loud applause and cheers.
It feels comforting to see the arena getting cleaned up
Yeah, we were just seeing bloodshed earlier. This is a nice change!
.
I couldnt wrap my head around what was happening. Still, I felt relieved that Marmar wasnt being criticized.
Seukseukseuk.
After finishing the simple cleaning, Marmar waved at the people.
Mixing bleach and detergent when cleaning with water is very fatal to respiratory health-.
But Marmar disappeared before she could finish her sentence.
What, where did she go?
Bring back the imp!
So, what happens when you mix bleach and detergent? Is it really fatal to health?
People began murmuring in confusion at Marmars sudden disappearance.
Then, there was another bang.
Seureuk.
When a shadow emerged amidst the colorful billowing clouds, the crowd erupted into cheers, thinking Marmar had reappeared.
Wooow-!
But this time, the one who came out was a woman dressed in white.
There seems to have been an error in the summoning spell that you all seem to like. But now, feel free to rejoice in my presence. You may bow your heads and worship-!
With her silky black hair fluttering in the wind, she extended her arms toward the crowd like a graceful actress.
Applaud-!
It was someone I knew very well. It was none other than Aira Von Tarantera.
