Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 83

The day before the tournament had finally arrived. Today would be the day for the representatives to meet and the competition events to be announced.

“I’m kind of nervous…”

I had been fidgeting since this morning.

“Shall we head out soon?”

When Nyadal spoke, I stood up and followed him. It was only me and Nyadal heading out.

“Good luck!”

Minya and Raul waved at us, so I waved back. After walking for a while, we entered the plaza where the tournament was being held.

There were already two people standing there: a white-haired man with rat ears and buck teeth, and a sharp-eyed woman with orange hair, wearing a tube top and shorts.

“That’s… Leia, the one with the Superhuman gift…”

I couldn’t take my eyes off Leia. Even from a distance, I could feel her intimidating presence, and even if I hadn’t heard the stories, I could tell she was no ordinary person.

“Nyadal, it’s been a while. It’s good to see you’re doing well.”

The chief of the Rat Tribe, who was also the current king of the Beast Kingdom, greeted Nyadal with an unpleasant smile.

“It’s good to see you’re as lively as ever, Nekichi-dono.”

Nyadal forced a smile, his forehead twitching with veins, and responded. Nekichi, seeing me, snickered.

“Is it an ogre this time? Well, no matter who comes, I don’t think Leia will lose.”

“No, no… this time, we’ll be the ones to win.”

As the two of them engaged in a verbal sparring match, Leia interrupted.

“Hey, hey! Stop bickering like old men and let’s get this started!”

At Leia’s words, the two of them glared at each other as they distanced themselves, and then Leia approached me.

“So, you’re my next opponent? I’m Leia, nice to meet you.”

“My name’s Kingil, nice to meet you.”

Leia extended her hand, and I reached out to shake it.

“…!”

When I grabbed Leia’s hand, she applied tremendous pressure, and I responded by gripping her hand just as firmly.

“Well, well…”

Leia looked at me and grinned mischievously.

“You’re pretty good.”

When she let go, my hand was left tingling with a numb feeling.

“Looks like it’s going to be fun this time!”

Leia looked at me with her sharp eyes, shining brightly.

“Now that the greetings are over, let’s move on to the announcement of the events.”

When Nyadal said that, Leia raised her hand.

“Ah… about that, you can choose the events.”

“Excuse me?”

Nyadal looked at Nekichi, who then smirked with a sly grin.

“Well, it’s just a handicap.”

“Grr.”

Nyadal gritted his teeth in frustration.

“How about we go with these five events?”

“Lord Kingil.”

I leaned in and whispered to Nyadal.

(I think it’s better if there are fewer events, we’ll lose the ball games anyway.)

(Hmm… that’s true…)

“If it’s okay with you, how about we compete in these five events?”

I showed Leia the list of events written on the paper, and she glanced at it.

“What’s this sumo thing?”

“Ah, sumo is…”

I explained the rules of sumo to Leia.

“I see, so if you touch the ground with anything other than your feet, or if you step out of the ring, you lose… Fine, no problem.”

When Leia said that, I felt a sense of relief.

“Well, no matter what the event, we won’t lose.”

Nyadal trembled with anger, his teeth grinding, at Nekichi’s sarcastic remarks.

“Well then, we’ll take our leave.”

Saying that, Nekichi and Leia left.

“Hmph, that Nekichi, just wait and see! Lord Kingil, we’ll definitely win!”

“Yes!”

Honestly, I was also pissed off by Nekichi’s attitude, so I nodded strongly at Nyadal’s words.
