Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 87

“Next up is the second event: the high jump!”

So, the next event is the high jump, and in front of the two, there are two poles with a bar across them. The current height is set to 120cm.

“First up, we have Leia!”

Called up, Leia quickly walked over, stopped right in front of the bar, and lightly jumped over it with one leg. After clearing the bar, she turned to face me and made a teasing gesture with her hand.

(Okay, it’s my turn now!)

“Next, Kingil!”

I did the same as Leia: I walked up to the bar, stopped, and leapt over it with one leg. From there, despite the high jump, neither of us used a running start and jumped without any momentum.

The bar height was already set to three meters, easily surpassing the world record from my past life. Although the back jump was the standard in high jumping, both of us cleared it without that style rather just jumping over it.

We both cleared three meters easily, and from there, the bar height increased to four meters, then five meters.

“If we keep dragging this out, the sun will set. Just raise the bar to the highest you can get it.”

Leia turns to the referee and says.

“You’re fine with that too, right, Kingil?”

“Yeah, I’m fine with it.”

“That’s settled, do it.”

After that, with the help of the referees and a few others, they somehow managed to raise the bar to a height of 100 meters.

“W-well then, Leia, it’s your turn!”

Leia walked up to the starting point, then bent her legs and gathered her strength before leaping. With a strong burst of energy, she easily cleared the 100-meter bar.

“Now, it’s Kingil’s turn!”

I bent my legs and gathered my strength, then leapt with all my might. But perhaps I didn’t put enough power into it, as I felt my toes graze the bar.

“Crap!”

As soon as I landed, I looked up at the bar. It was swaying back and forth.

I stared at the bar, praying silently as it continued to sway.

(Don’t fall! Please don’t fall!)

All the spectators, except those of the rat tribe, were praying with their hands together. The bar’s swaying slowed and eventually came to a halt on the pole.

“Phew, that was close!”

As the bar stopped, the cheers of the audience echoed across the plaza.

“The second event is a tie!”

After the referee announced the result, Leia walked over to me.

“That was close, huh!”

“That was nerve-wracking…”

“You…”

Leia seemed like she was about to say something, but then fell silent.

“What is it?”

“No… it’s nothing.”

“…?”

After saying that, Leia walked away.
