Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 88

The second event ended in a draw, which meant both matches were now tied.

The third event, shot put, began, but just like in the first event, both of them threw the shot put so far that it was impossible to judge, resulting in another draw.

The next event, weightlifting, was too easy with barbells, so they decided to use a large platform to lift as many beastmen as possible, but once they reached the limit of how many could be lifted, it ended in a draw.

With that, the only remaining event was sumo, and a lunch break was called.

“That’s amazing, Kingil! To think you’ve tied with Leia like this!”

“Indeed, I asked for it, but I never expected it to go this far!”

“Hahaha…”

(You didn’t think I could win, huh?!)

I kept my retort to Nyadal in my mind and ate the lunch that Minya had made for me.

“So, the last event is sumo, huh?”

“Hmm, by the way, Kingil, is sumo a sport passed down among the ogre tribe or something?”

Nyadal’s question made me wonder how to explain, but I left out the part about reincarnation and explained it.

“It’s not something passed down in the ogre tribe, but it was a common sport where I came from.”

(Well, it’s not a lie…)

“So, does that mean you have some sort of secret strategy?”

“I’m not sure if it’s a secret strategy, but I have various techniques that might come in handy.”

When I said that, Minya and Nyadal’s eyes lit up.

“Oh! So that means we’re at an advantage!”

“Looks like we can win this! Grandpa!”

“No… it’s not that easy…”

When I tried to correct them, the two of them started chatting loudly, not listening to what I had to say.

“Well, whatever…”

I decided to just eat my lunch for now.

“Leia! It’s been nothing but draws so far, are you okay with this?!”

Nekichi rushed to Leia, who was eating her lunch.

“Huh? Who cares!”

In response, Leia answered bluntly, which caused Nekichi to become enraged.

“What’s with that attitude?! What are you going to do if you lose?!”

Leia sighed deeply, clearly bored, then stood up and moved toward Nekichi instead.

“You… did you misunderstand something? I just made a contract to join the tournament, but I don’t remember becoming one of your subordinates!”

“Ggh…”

Nekichi tried to say something, but he was overwhelmed by Leia’s intimidating presence and couldn’t get a word out.

“If you understand, then shut up and watch!”

Leia readjusted herself in the chair and started eating her lunch again. Seeing this, Nekichi snorted and left the room.

Lunch break ended, and Leia and I returned to the plaza, where a sumo ring had been set up, one that hadn’t been there before.

“Now, for the fifth event! Sumo!”

As the referee announced it, a loud cheer went up from the crowd, marking the beginning of the final fight between Leia and me.
