Episode 87. Lamberstar Cage (6)
An unreal subspace created by the power of God.
Silica, the head of the Mist family, was sitting alone in a large plaza with no one around, continuing her mental training.
A restrained emotion that was oblivious to anything was visible in the closed eyes.
A handful of black fog slowly approached her.
(You asked Sian to do something fun?)
Her closed eyes opened in an instant.
“What do you mean?”
(The one written in the order. Isn’t he the target of the purification work you decided?)
Silica couldn’t bear to answer right away.
“… … “I won’t deny it.”
(I have no intention of blaming you in particular. I was just asking because I was surprised that you sent that child to your personal business.)
She stood up and answered resolutely.
“Sian was a child who had everything perfect from the moment I met him. To the point where I wonder why a child like that exists in this world. “Aer probably knows the reason.”
(…….)
Aer smiled an invisible smile.
“I have no intention of inquiring about it now or in the future. But Xi’an needs to realize that.”
(What do you mean?)
“What you can and cannot do with your own power. It is true that this mission contains my personal feelings. However, through that mission, Xian will have to learn something. Only then will you be able to use your power without regret in the future.”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if a bud was blooming.

As I mentioned once before, my face has now been tricked into not being recognized by others using the secret power of mist.
Meanwhile, this guy I had never seen before recognized me by looking at my face?
This was definitely not something to just overlook.
For now, I asked without showing it.
“Do you know me?”
“Then you know! Actually, your face was a bit pale, but I knew right away when I saw your punch! “Is it the same as the agile movement you showed me earlier?”
Looking at the nuance, I think he was the guy who watched my game during the day.
But you recognized me just by looking at my movements?
My head may have been a little empty, but I felt like I needed to understand one feeling first.
“Gu, Gunter?”
All of a sudden, the people who were lying around were startled when they saw him.
Of course, the name Gunther was also something I had never heard of.
“Let me introduce you. My name is Gunther Rictus. “He’s one of the city’s managers who manages the western dump.”
The city manager?
Is this because he has courage?
Aside from the guy, the faces of the fallen guys were quite a sight to see.
Even though they had broken limbs from me, they were filled with an overwhelming fear of a man named Gunther, not me.
“I am. So, for now, let me just say that I am your fan. I was impressed by your brilliant skills! “It’s like seeing my old self!”
“You’re out of your mind.”
It was truly laughable.
“Don’t misunderstand! I said this purely out of positive interest! So, as soon as the match ended, I ran straight to Cage’s boss. “I want you to join me!”
For a moment, my eyebrows furrowed.
“Big deal?”
I heard something I couldn’t just ignore.
“Oh, you don’t know? Because she is a strange woman who adheres to mysticism. Don’t worry too much. You don’t have to know… … .”
I calmly walked towards him without any response.
It seems like things will work out surprisingly easily.
“Whoa? The atmosphere has become strange? “It seems like something caught my eye?”
Exactly 2 steps away.
If you extend your fist or swing your foot, the distance you can reach in less than a second.
In that distance, I asked with a calm face.
“Owner of Lamberstar Cage… … “Do you know?”
The guy said with a grin.
“Then you know! I’m one of the few people in this city who knows her face? That Lindsay Nihalov… … ”
-Hwiik
The moment I mentioned the name I was looking for, my body started moving without delay.
-puck!
His right foot swung in a semicircle and headed toward his head.
There was a dull hitting sound, but there was no pushback.
The guy raised his arm and blocked it.
“under! “What do you want to do now?”
The search is over and what I have to do is decided.
I’m making that guy open his mouth right here and now.
That thing about Lindsay Nihalov.
As if reacting to my aggression, he grabbed his other fist and struck it with all his might.
-bang!
I turned my body and dodged it without difficulty.

A force so great that it splits the ground.
This caused the ground to tremble for a moment.
“You’re hotter than you look, huh? “Did you want to fight me too?”
I didn’t need to reply.
“Yeah, you don’t have to wait until game day! If you want, and if I want, there’s no problem if we stick together right now! Kyahaha!”
First of all, I think we need to shut that loud mouth.
The moment after correcting my posture, I gathered my strength into my fist and lunged once again.
“Stop, Gunther!”
My eyes automatically turned to a familiar voice coming from somewhere.
-wedge
The sword energy leaking from the short dagger separated the two.
Flowing brown hair and neatly dressed uniform.
He was Cage’s mysterious employee.
Behind them, a bunch of rugged guards were waiting.
“Are you okay? customer?”
“hmm?”
I was a little taken aback by the unexpected question.
“Gunther what are you doing! How dare you touch our guests outside? “Do you want to rot in that ugly face?”
I couldn’t help but laugh at the rather high-level remark.
As expected, this employee doesn’t seem to be normal either.
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about? “That guy attacked me first?”
“I don’t listen to you! What are you doing? “Go ahead and stop protecting the guests!”
At her word, the guards began to move quickly.
Before long, a round defensive formation was formed to protect me.
what? What about this overprotection?
“I don’t think anyone would be a VIP guest, so they treat him like a king. Let’s relax some boundaries, right? “Who do you think is a bully who doesn’t care about what’s going on?”
I don’t know, but looking at that employee’s face, it seemed like he was thinking that.
“Say it, Gunther! “Why did you attack our guests at such a late hour?”
“It’s really driving me crazy. You mean he attacked me first, not me? And I think I’m mistaken, but this is definitely my area, right? “What do you care if I fight in my territory?”
It’s a district.
Now that I think about it, when that man named Gunther introduced himself, he said that he was one of the managers of this city.
Are they just playing a game of pranks among themselves?
Now that you think about it, how did this employee come to see me?
I was unintentionally left out, creating a subtle tension between the two.
They both kept a fierce look in their eyes, as if a predator had met another predator.
“That’s it! That’s it! “Is there anything I can gain from fighting with you?”
Surprisingly, it was Yangachi who backed down first.
“If you really don’t want to see me making a fuss, arrange a game with that friend. “You know what I mean?”
He took a cigarette out of his pocket and suddenly looked at me and said,
“Then I’ll be looking forward to meeting you, Shion!”
After a final, resounding greeting, Gunther immediately disappeared into the alley.
-plop
“Are you okay, sir?”
For a moment, I had no idea what to answer.
“Why did you come here?”
“Well, that’s not that gangster. I came after Gunther and happened to find a customer… … . Anyway, I’m so glad! “Because I can protect our guests from his threats.”
“I attacked first?”
“yes?”
For a moment, there was a strange silence around.
“ah! That’s it! Gunther was the first to pick a fight with a customer… … .”
“Not at all. “I just attacked first.”
He seemed at a loss for words due to his impassioned response.
“W-what is it? Then why on earth are you a customer?!”
“what… … “Maybe it’s because of that little friend?”
I pointed to the boy sitting on the floor.
The child was startled and looked quite cute as if he was trying to hide in the empty basket.
Actually, there is a real reason, but it probably doesn’t need to be said.
“Hmm… … .”
She must have thought she was in trouble for something troublesome, so she grabbed her head violently.
“Now that I think about it, I heard something strange from that guy named Gunther?”
“W-what do you mean?”
“He wanted to fight me, so he went to see the boss of this facility.”
“ah… … “It looks like you said it right away.”
She lowered her head as if she had achieved liberation.
“I won’t deny it. It’s true. “A little while ago, this guy came to us and asked us to set up a game with a customer.”
“For what?”
“That’s because he wants to fight with the customer. He was originally from this cage too. He was a pretty good player, but he got banned for killing someone during a game a few years ago. But now that you’re asking me to set up a game with a customer, I’m in trouble too.”
I wonder if he was from here too?
But looking at the atmosphere, it felt like there was something to do with this employee.
Well, it doesn’t matter to me, so I don’t have anything to question.
There was one thing that needed to be clearly pointed out.
“So you’re saying that you decided to play the match against my will. “I wouldn’t be in a position to belong to you, would I?”
She swallowed and said, as if she knew what was coming.
“Ah, it hasn’t been confirmed yet, but not only Gunter but also our manager wants that match. So, I was about to ask the customer about his intention as well.”
“The manager?”
I couldn’t help but react to those words.
“Why, why are you doing that?”
“When you say the manager, do you mean the owner of Lamberstar Cage?”
“yes that’s right. This is our owner, Lindsay Nihalov… … .”
I already knew that Cage’s owner was Lindsay Nihalov, so it wasn’t that important.
The problem is this woman.
Just like what she said earlier, she was speaking as if she had received instructions directly from her owner.
For now, I spoke calmly, hiding my true feelings.
“yes?”
She tilted her head, probably thinking she didn’t hear clearly.
“Schedule the game. It doesn’t matter if it’s tomorrow. “The faster the better.”
“uh… … “Are you serious?”
She was taken aback by the unexpectedly quick acceptance.
“There is a condition instead.”
“Speak up! “I’ll listen to anything!”
Your eyes turned to the kid with the cigarette arm wandering around, not knowing what to do in this situation.
“Please let him work at your facility.”

It’s only been a week since rumors spread that a comet-like rookie had appeared in the cage.
The cage was so full of people that it was said to be the largest number of people in a short period of time in history.
“I said it was a long time ago, but is it really true? The ruins of the waste dump are coming back. “What kind of wind was blowing?”
“I heard that Gunther asked me to personally arrange the match? “It looks like he really wanted to fight with that bold kid.”
“Giggle! It will take a long time to see the real Cage. “I can’t believe I’ll see a day when such an unsophisticated little boy reigns over the cage.”
one week.
This is the time it took for a boy named Shion to appear and conquer Cage.
Purely considering the game time, it was less than 5 minutes, and it never exceeded more than two total.
Although it was certainly surprising enough to leave one’s mouth agape, it wasn’t actually a very good thing when viewed from the game itself.
After all, people pursue stimulating tastes.
For the first time in a long time, someone who can satisfy the tastes of such audiences has appeared in the cage.
“To the audiences who love Lamberstar Cage, you’ve waited a long time! Today’s match, which we have been waiting for so long, starts now!”
A man wearing sunglasses who appeared to be the host appeared in the center and shouted the start.
In response to this, the surroundings shook for a moment.
Without any delay, players appeared from both sides.
Gunther and Zion.
Unlike Gunter, who was somewhat smiley, Shion maintained his calm demeanor.
“Now, it wouldn’t be polite to just enjoy a hot game like today. “As of now, special rules will be added to this game!”
At this, the audience began to murmur.
“Special rules? “You’re not trying to give that boy a handicap, are you?”
“Maybe so. Even if you’re a kid who only plays a bit, your opponent is a tough opponent, right? Isn’t there probably a clause that says we shouldn’t kill each other? Giggling!”
“I wish there weren’t any weird restrictions… … .”
In fact, most of the audience expected Gunther to win.
Although Zion’s performance was great, the more vicious aspects that Gunther had shown remained in the audience’s minds.
As if anticipating the audience’s emotions, the host smiled leisurely and said,
“No rules match! “Today’s match will be a no-rules match!”
There was silence in the audience for a moment.
“A game with literally no rules! Not only fists, but also weapons, magic, and even tricks are fine! All you have to do is subdue your opponent by any means necessary!”
It only took a moment for the silence to turn into cheers.
