Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 86

Leia and I stood facing each other in the plaza, with Nekichi, the representative of the Rat Tribe and the current Beast Kingdom king, beside her, and Nyadal, the representative of the other races, standing next to me.

“I’m looking forward to it!”

Leia and I shook hands, while Nekichi and Nyadal just stared each other down.

(How childish… these people…)

With that, the tournament to determine the king of the Beast Kingdom began. There were five events, and the first to win three would be the victor.

The first event was a “race,” with a distance of one thousand meters.

“Don’t worry! Kingil-san, with your legs, you’ll definitely win!”

While I was doing some warm-up exercises before the competition, and Minya called out to me from beside me.

“Yes! I’ll give it my all!”

After finishing my warm-up, I walked to the starting line, where Leia was already waiting.

She was also stretching forward for her warm-up, and with her thong on, her anus was fully exposed, causing me to turn my face away.

(Stay calm! Stay calm! Stay calm!)

I stood at the starting line, repeating those words in my mind.

“Let’s see how good you are.”

When Leia looked at me, she gave me a challenging smile.

“I won’t lose!”

“Take your marks!”

As the Rat Tribe official gave the start signal, both Leia and I took our positions. The crowd, which had been so noisy, became quiet, and the plaza was wrapped in silence.

“On your mark… Get set… Go!”

＊＊＊＊＊

Minya heard the starting signal and watched anxiously, holding her breath.

“Please! Kingil-san, you have to win!”

It wasn’t just Minya—everyone around, the Beastmen included, were watching Kingil as if praying.

“On your mark… Get set… Go!”

As soon as the Rat Tribe official gave the start signal, the two of them vanished in an instant, and by the time she noticed, they were already standing at the finish line.

“Grandpa, did you see it?”

“I didn’t see a thing…”

The entire venue began to buzz.

“Hey, did you see that just now?”

“That was too fast…”

“Who won?”

“I don’t know!”

People around us were exchanging their opinions, while the judges gathered and discussed something.

“We will announce the results!”

After the discussion seemed to end, the Rat Tribe official shouted.

The result was…

＊＊＊＊＊

At the signal, I put all my strength into my legs and rushed forward—no, I flew—and I crossed the finish line at a speed so fast I couldn’t even tell if it took a second.

(I must have won, right?)

I looked behind me, but Leia was nowhere to be seen.

“What are you looking at?”

A voice came from beside me, and when I looked, Leia was standing next to me.

“Did you think you’d win easily? Don’t underestimate me. But still, I’m impressed. You’re the first person who can run at my speed. Looks like my judgment wasn’t wrong after all.”

Leia was laughing joyfully.

(I had underestimated her… I thought I could win based on pure physical ability.)

This body was given to me by the Goddess, and until now, I had never lost in terms of physical ability.

(I didn’t expect the power of the Superhuman gift to be this overwhelming…)

As I was thinking about everything, the referee who had been discussing things shouted.

“We will now announce the results!”

I gulped nervously.

“The result is… a tie!”

“A… tie?”

“Well, that makes sense. I can’t imagine our speed is something a normal person could see.”

Since there is no photo finish in this world, as Leia said, there was no way to judge who crossed the finish line first.

“Therefore, both participants earn a point! Now, we’ll move on to the second event!”

“Well, keep it up like this and entertain me, Kingil.”

Leia waved her hand as she briskly walked away, and seeing that, I tightened my resolve.
