qnyzbStarting today, I officially declare that the sloth and Wonmo have become fans of Chames United.0si4BnO
E9ZOㄴThe sloth looks like it hates it lolUNZtJ73
K6oCㄴWonmo just looks confused lol so cute lolJrCBh
1EHㄴWhy do they look so good in it? loll3WWHdZ
vMAXfㄴDid DemonPrincess also give kids’ uniforms?yNQWtq0
Hm61BRㄴWildGrills) Yes, since I couldn’t use them, I put them on them. If they don’t like it, I’ll take them off.6upLUsN
s8NK97VㄴAh… everyone is Chayu…OWzwAbW
twYrㄴStarLightPrincess) Should I raise an owlbear too? It’s way too adorable…!r54dkTL
1l3AMhfㄴWildGrills) You just have to feed it well. And yes, it’s very cute.v0qO
iorkCVㄴStarLightPrincess) I want to raise one and call it Helrin.O3hDm
0oqㄴWildGrills) What?wGll
6wHNp7“Hehehe.”66W4sgv
7Df3ZIThe princess of Mephisto, Keirin, let out a satisfied laugh as she looked at Grills’ post.01W7
SyRFmSNormally, she maintained an authoritative attitude, but that was only in her daily life.huEjvb
fN4In the gallery, where she could show all her emotions, she was not very different from anyone else.UNY
enFajzX“They really are adorable look at that chubby body.”GeJIL
mjO8EeUEven she couldn’t resist something cute.rJoDAN
Ky7oEIn fact, almost no one insulted Wonmo.MqluDIU
JRxkInsult Wonmo?gAE
oF0a2oThen get ready to receive every insult possible.fpbw
aGVTo the point that there are users who demand that photos of Wonmo be uploaded instead of Grills.fpXj
LLUHhs3‘With this, he won’t have to worry about clothes for a while.’17af
a6jG1IThe reason she gave the uniforms to Grills was simple.mihheym
ki1LShe had so many uniforms that she practically stepped on them, and besides, she found Grills interesting.sNHO
t6mAs a princess, she had heard all kinds of fake compliments.FYtzOT
Ako7tMShe could perfectly tell whether someone was speaking sincerely or not.9EDUqI
YGQX0‘It’s been a while since I saw someone who conveys sincerity even through words.’sIn8gT
CapThere were several reasons why Keirin felt sympathy for Grills.WXP7n8
YTM3JUeFirst, that he sincerely supported Chayu, the team she supported.zEOQWRk
7wwZaEAnd also, his attitude of wanting to repay favors at all costs was impressive.NPW
diuLEspecially when she told him there was no need to repay her, he would get restless like a puppy that needs to go to the bathroom.1quS
qpq42PEach of those gestures left her with a good impression.Ud1WPv
1ZREjCEven in the gallery, where anonymity is guaranteed, Grills was polite and respectful.EvRXG
JGgo‘Is it because if he doesn’t make a good impression, his life is at risk?’Jq1
IBJZMaybe.2lzxKo
8uoTIf he manages to get out of the Forest of Four Seasons, he could completely change and start ignoring everyone.fpjNKw
ddqBut it doesn’t matter.QZE
RCnP2zAt least while he’s in that forest, he’s still a good person.kiTdfN
4F1suGO‘But something doesn’t add up does he really come from another world?’gxLYJ
BIXXEEven so, she couldn’t help but be interested in him.HoH
rfhlUU1Grills had once said that he came from another world.mewTx
p38wVCdAt the time, she took it as some kind of joke or concept.IdAGH
X3AhAnd Keirin believed that as well.IyDuEjX
FhEJlrBesides, Grills had knowledge about sports.Pztzl0
t7rd4That reinforced the idea that he was just playing a character.QDyFy
VL4sPhcBut the proposal he made was truly surprising.2X4Y
sf76ksz‘A tournament based on place of origin, not club and every 4 years?’hWKfL
qmcapTXThe tournament Grills mentioned, the World Cup, intrigued her.5nziz
XWeHGLHe explained it as if it had really existed.UjXknE
bqs5uIt was impossible not to be interested.hIhLgyf
p5p7RvO‘The pride of representing your territory. The glory of defeating other representatives. And the fact that it is held every 4 years makes it even more special. Just thinking about it, it’s a very attractive idea.’cttYo
EWBb0In the past, she had proposed something similar in Mephisto.itCc
cg7A world tournament between races.noJv
5ccIt received quite a lot of support, but ended up being canceled for various reasons.NuyNx
LYdThe differences between races were large, and the pressure was too intense.LyY
LHBYnNot only was the competition fierce, but it inevitably mixed with politics.rCedmvD
Y0CkLIt was, literally, a poisoned cup.pz4ekE
txZ7PThat’s why it ended up disappearing.MTb
ep6‘It could also be very well received among humans.’BiV
MgoeHumans have a low base level, but their maximum potential is extremely high.HlX
1YJAnd that also applies to sports.LGAu
PyorbcCurrently, many humans participate as players.YWruC
CrIEven in Mephisto, transferred humans tend to stand out.EZU4
ihe1But their lifespan is short, and their prime is short as well.CLFIB
hcAzfVThat is inevitable.BW2k
inemAsEven so, in that short period, they sweep all the awards,7tzcRof
AU6mwhich has been damaging the pride of demons and elves. Even recently, clubs from different countries lost against humans.lLDEvs9
S5KWhile demons and elves progress slowly and steadily, humans do it quickly and explosively.0qAc
HT63X‘Does he really come from another world?’gy3
SLGPMAt first she dismissed it as nonsense, but there were too many suspicious things.Jvc9
6Zx1nxThe fact that he can use the gallery in the Forest of Four Seasons, and all the knowledge he has.6zhse5
u6n5‘Even so, he’s still a Chayu fan.’cTRigwS
1PlKThe doubts kept piling up, but Keirin stopped thinking about it.hrG
OdoEDWShe wanted to talk more deeply with Grills, but it was more important that he survive.oplF
u8cJZEeIf a Chayu fan died meaninglessly, it would bother her.f84pV
spwC5i‘I wish the Medes family could also meet Grills.’wraVp
0fAIf the Medes family supported Grills fully, how good that would be.H7nw92
AhiXUIf that happened, Grills’ survival rate would increase greatly, and they would also gain a huge publicity effect.vPvfPX
GPLmA5dBut the Medes family only cares about making money, and they won’t pay attention to someone like Grills.TO0KM6
rqtvE‘I’d like to pressure them, but damn politics.’SiwBFuV
C4sKeirin shook her head.stzb
QVSYSports, including football, are something light for those who enjoy them.YXySA
vzUBut the deeper you get into them, the more complex and dirty they become.OZuFMi
VJVThat’s why Keirin preferred to enjoy them rather than get too involved.rPSZIq
mKWEven with that mindset, every time she watched a Chayu match, her anger would rise.PNSY
QwrwaLBut that’s universal.GuZUcy
cBf8GSeeing the team you support play like shit and make you angry is something common in all countries and races.rrWvU
OXzv7Z0‘Please, don’t lose so pathetically. At least score one goal.’CnHjMP
DFpKeirin recalled the match that would be held soon.9gE
jxI4The opponent was the insufferable Leor.52vfrs
MJp30The gap in level between the reinforced Leor and the declining Chayu was enormous.2mtAZM
PZnbxvBut football always has surprises, so she kept a small hope.IJkzTZ
w8PDcq‘I’ll have to say I’ll go into “mental training” in two days.’KE9Fkt
jRwEsiThere is one advantage when you become obsessed with sports.tzl8l
97lvFjYou don’t need separate mental training.CYNMAyh
TPFWatching sports is already mental training.KlBEq
5SOyqJThinking that, Keirin kept walking.tkQ
dtMFE“Hm?”ZPZnPYE
tR2WlO5“Ah.”k65
aSXnncAs I walked down the hallway, I ran into someone.1Ej84y
JG5EtBlue skin characteristic of demons, inverted eyes, horns on the head.13l0t
ThxAnd finally, a face worthy of being called handsome.SBl8Tq
YOXnp“I present my respects, father.”pMQ3z
9yciKeirin greeted him politely.hAe
CBpbThe being known to the world as the Demon King, Asmode.D58yl
UV8vixHer biological father and king of Mephisto.9qBHH7v
h6VSaH“Good, Keirin. Is everything in order?”kwq6
RgA“What problem could I have? All my days are the same.”97p
MpAX“I see. Where are you heading?”IJiWvFx
cpAy9“I was preparing for mental training in two days.”9jgq
RD9KxZ(I’m going to watch the Chayu match.)L0Nqk
3K0Zv6aThat’s what Keirin thought internally.jwrxck
BdqHmfAsmode nodded and spoke in a serious tone.hk1sLN
Igu“Lately, it seems like you have many days of mental training. Is something bothering you?”WTiewd
bb2wB“Compared to you, who bears the decisions of Mephisto every day, my concerns are insignificant.”RQ9cQP
WD1E(Chayu plays like shit. It’s going to kill me.)ScJA
ZaY1pCAsmode nodded again and reassured her.GwpP
0ZdHYn“Don’t push yourself too hard. Before being a princess, you are my daughter. If you need help, tell me.”N7QM
mB8hKB“Thank you for your words. But…”LeK
FF64X10Keirin observed him carefully.vesy8c
kmASLately, he seemed more relaxed.AWgT
CRlBefore, he always had a rigid expression.IH4
CqLgzAnd, like her now, he also spent his days in mental training.JSXw
6QWM“Have you reached some kind of enlightenment? It seems like you train less.”m57TXO
fC6THi1“That’s right. Everything is going well in Mephisto, so my mind is at ease.”vpxjcT
cM6mG“I see.”EtYN
Feqdk1SHow enviable.3LO
tErRL0cSome burn themselves out day by day, while others reach enlightenment.Sk7SB
UhkgbtBut she didn’t consider it unfair.1j0Wn6
M8vIt was her fault.qCNWsh
gyRNTR‘Being a Chayu fan is my sin.’S6Vq
wV3She had no intention of venting unfairly.dtw0pV
44qNCI“Then, I hope you achieve great progress.”GsHd
Pf5“Thank you. And what will you do?”RXC
CH8P“I also have training in two days. It may be the most important.”hw0
BK15iR“I’m sure you’ll get good results.”RpsC
x49l“Thank you. I’ll take my leave.”gdY
ECteihGAsmode patted her shoulder and left.QyEZckt
H9cnKeirin watched his back as she thought.sxh6t
YJHKo‘If they lose again…’SdFl
GxHoOJust imagining it was terrible.TvluKX
MvquThe gallery would be filled with mockery.QTBi
HSB9jiBut what worried her most was Grills.YYli5
zZ74pWhat if he became disappointed after seeing how badly Chayu plays?pfNt
88a81uTAnd then someone like ReyLeor could take advantage.5Qjs6
gefㄴReyLeor) Why don’t you support Leor instead of that team? I’ll even give you a uniform9CU72z
rsuYp3BㄴWildGrills) Thanks. Actually, I’ve always been a Leor fanjhdgFv
jdYxgㄴReyLeor) Say it with me. Chayu is?FsiFah
VQKㄴWildGrills) A mid-table team?DKBg
yVhvㄴReyLeor) Very good!ektI
9Uiq‘That can’t happen!’IxKX9
kcythKeirin thought about how to keep Grills as a Chayu fan.2UVKZ
bQaEiBAlthough outwardly she remained serious, inside she was worried.CF9
XprGTUvIn the end, she was just another fan.atG
UDSR‘I’ll observe whether he changes his mind.’M6o
1PATnWithout Grills knowing, Keirin imposed a test on him.Xz3q2
z5tAxn***zBY
jppm‘What was that? Something feels off.’yjRr
BLqKgH3I looked around. There were only trees.T7jg
EWyLI thought some animal was watching me, but I didn’t find anything.BbODG
Mr7EmJIThe sloth didn’t react either, so it must have been my imagination.Db87Zj
IJ6‘Let’s see how it turned out?’wihpw
STUNY0What mattered now was the tripod I made following StarlightPrincess’s instructions.HQRYHq
EUxCcIt was time to check if the meat had smoked properly.1cYw2jQ
ww135It could take between 1–2 hours, or up to 10.QvgST
YXpReSince time was important, I raised the temperature a bit.B3ac
TLmzeR“Wow… that looks good.”cQdk31
uIWVThe color was perfect.gELzfB
67DwIGsAnd the aroma, incredible.fqq
hwGrI split it in half it was well cooked inside.Ak9
M7IBut the important thing was the taste.BnO
LEDaEven though it wasn’t dinner time yet, one bite wouldn’t hurt.71m
zlSU“Nom.”CfSu
YiBZGI took a bite.uHBs
D6htlX9Predator meat is supposed to smell strong, but with the smoking, it wasn’t noticeable at all.2HUOy
nvjJVOr maybe I just eat anything.UQ23
JhhtvhThe taste was good.QQHevv
UDqmwbhJuicy, with good texture.JRmPE
o4X882“Nngh…! Puah! Pu!”kibHA
0qULOpdThat said, it was salty as hell.kg0WtTX
sdEYMakes sense, I had cured it with salt.U3Q
04FN‘Wonmo won’t be able to eat this.’0q6tti
iwRHFor him, raw meat is better.Nhh
i8fbI hung the smoked meat inside the cave.UvE9tKw
R7IIt was cooler than outside.qEsc
XC7Dx‘Time to cook the rest.’idun
hz1cQzwThere was still a lot of meat left.wirTD
HqaI worked nonstop, and before I knew it, night fell.Fm54b
mpJHM0XDinner was smoked meat.bDBD
PXZquOne piece was enough.eSkw
8mAdZRD“Wonmo, time to eat.”KL8t
Jgz6Neo“Kyuu!”sOFC
xulJ7Wonmo came running, eyes shining.omyCT
24og6Wearing the child-sized uniform, he was absurdly adorable.Zw9E
TdsLJIt made you want to hug him.Tyf
f886Now I understand why people dress up their pets.mkg4
kvh‘The sloth… well…’oYdFU
Phrs6bSince he didn’t like it, I took it off.foZ6WQ
2UsOtherwise, he would’ve torn it apart with his claws.ilQsxo
aBhE4kAnyway, it had been a productive day.kGDL
HAAScZGTomorrow I had to hunt crabs for DwarfPassingBy and explore more.PxKmnL
qw3‘Little by little, I’ll find a way out.’AoLuG8
eCSA1With that small hope, I fell asleep.01qgS1
nkdKmqxWithout imagining what would happen the next day.n50WEQl
