Chapter 66: Strange Ones (3)
nNZUSomeone once said it.Epc0XAI
TO59Sports are unscripted drama.Hxv8
Ll6Especially in those where there is a clear winner and loser, that characteristic becomes even more obvious.VQap3I
pgIIt looked like they were going to lose, but they made a comeback. It looked like they were going to win, but they got turned around. That kind of drama.uZJS6
owPd0Even when there is a clear difference in level, fans scream until they lose their voices precisely because of that.cSFiTF
qbLGEwwBecause they can defeat a strong team, and even if they lose, they can still hope for the future.rAy7mN
RJVo[Even if the probability is 0.1%, we will not give up.]Ht1eiGv
79ybT[The match ends the moment you give up.]wW1
BjufQP6[Why do we love sports? Because we don’t know who will win.]Nzs0p
GHG8pfAs those phrases say, sports are something whose result can never be taken for granted.p6l58
tjKLTThis world already lacked entertainment to begin with, so it was natural for people to immerse themselves in sports.oIf8i
PKXIEven if they were pureblood nobles, it didn’t matter.IEkHkQ
SWG[Will it go in? Will it?! Shooooot! Goooooal! Chames United! A comeback goal in the final minutes!]KHbT
bZlco[T-this has been an incredible play! The Leor players lower their heads!]dOKwkg2

5LmAt the center, a crystal sphere transmitted broadcast magic.58z5
cuiiZcDEternal rivals, Chames United and Leor.F4m78V
CADnA deadly rivalry.8Nh4DMl
Dv5l1Normally, Chames United, or Chayu, was at a disadvantage.KsEe0
XVH0nSBut they achieved the comeback.SWHd1
nPGEven the commentators were so excited that they stuttered.bhzq6F
IFDOK3“……”1v8YJsY
EGQAnd there was someone watching the entire scene.YcEcL
kzvZxNRThe princess of Mephisto, Keirin, known in the gallery as DemonPrincess.yvY
48CtZShe held back her trembling lips and uploaded a post.iTKXu
ECQXeFinally, after posting it, she released all the emotions she had been holding back.AuM
pMtaTR9“KYAAAAAAAGH!!!”nyJUGGH
28T8DzKeirin ran all over the field like a madwoman, screaming.w2CYLte
TM4IIt was not a scream of joy it was more like the roar of a beast.FoLU2
IlIki6All the elegance, dignity, and etiquette of a princess disappeared.7BvZ
9blIt was a completely instinctive reaction.g2J
EBGFrom excitement, she released mana and damaged several parts of the field.lD8C
6MKQ7hLIf someone saw her, they’d think no drug in the world could make someone look like that.m1R
zs1B“Is this real? Is this real!? Seriously?!”eaeh8R7
eji3Keirin returned to her place after running around like crazy.FvLB
Vz9y8She was breathing heavily, and her blue skin had turned reddish.v0B7X
ccDb1KI[That was an excellent offensive play. Even the defenders participated.]rrIBG
dsVW[That’s right. Partially abandoning the defense was…]zkBy6
HJEupmThe transmission sphere enhanced with orichalcum.bTi
BrKTfsImage quality, sound, and connection, everything optimized.z8Nam
cddK2MAnd on that hologram was what Keirin had wanted so badly.1blhf
YwpCqO7[Leor players! There’s little time lef… huh?]ZOa1
IRF7V[Interception by Marta! Immediate counterattack!]0jcp
ExLNn3[Passes to Kone on the left. Kone advances!]zj5rE
ts4FDe[Cross to the center…! Ah! The defender clears it.]NLy2
z8QrT“Aaah!”xnYXFuY
KOs9Keirin lamented. It was the perfect chance to crush Leor.xIZG
d8hBut there was still a chance.NIc
BcRjShe held her breath while watching the match.lMwkp
mCFT7Z[End of the match! Spectacular comeback!]NQt2xv
Vz5U[The Chayu players collapse in joy.]mDrur
JFIQClap clap clap!hRgOt
YW6jsyMKeirin applauded sincerely.aeNXHz
RP6lZUThe fans also responded with an ovation.bNZZT
WbCiGo“Ah… seriously… how the hell did they win?”qYgUY9
HcnShe collapsed from exhaustion.4Y1
wjHShe rubbed her face and looked at the broadcast.VJu5m
fYOOi6The players’ faces were full of emotion.QQZ
hExn“Yeah… this is better. They always lost and looked so sad.”zxU7M5
V8S0GVThe previous defeat against a weak team?58bPc6Y
zkgS7Forgotten.mzNLH
3tCThey had defeated their hated rival.wdCXSqQ
GS7kIt felt as if a ten-year burden had been lifted off her shoulders.cosSz
FYsWThat emptiness was replaced by dopamine.Os4gjg
IZALIt’s not for nothing that people say sports are more dangerous than drugs.Mp6tn
lXs5BDW‘Just like Grills said…’GWwwG
fJmUKeirin entered the gallery.AaV
P2hJust as he had said, even though they conceded 3 goals, they scored 4.J7RzME
T2H8Everyone was in shock.YvDuy2
a9ywhRwEspecially this.o9Zt
B6XxIㄴWildGrills) If our defense concedes 3 goals, our offense scores 4qZniic
TlU54gㄴsounds stupid but it makes sense…XcBl
r9WPaㄴlegendary response lmao2oqRc
IMm1ㄴsounds like someone who reached enlightenment lmaotinIvYm
QwBQㄴI came on a pilgrimage. May Chayu win the championshipyO5BQVB
lAqㄴI came on a pilgrimage. May my love life go wellw5sjjv
EEAGkㄴmay my stocks rise!4IM
iOudㄴmay I pass the exam!6RL8Bq
4Z6The “pilgrimage” had begun.4N9G
VQWA type of popular faith where people make wishes to “prophetic” comments.kaZD
HLRmfXBut Grills’s case was different.Mtr
EstGNobody believed he was right.4JGF
BKenWsHAnd yet it happened.crcfn
u2c‘I need to give him more uniforms.’kKluO
X9VII5Thanks to the orichalcum, she was able to watch the comeback perfectly.tS7
FsAKNormally the signal cuts out around the 80th minute.EqAZ
Tek7uBut this time it was perfect.ocpH
UHlXKeirin, happy, kept watching.3ch
8zFBXbThe match ended, but the interview remained.tQE3n1R
Rlo[How do you feel after defeating Leor?]xmjFAYx
h2xECW6[Very good. It’s more valuable because the players didn’t give up.]5XI
qeHPBChayu’s coach was bald.ZZ4hey
DPGXVery typical.eZA
vOETKY4Baldness is a universal pain.cLqwc
YH0mIn the gallery, of course, they mocked him mercilessly.Lf6kT
dchu1[What was the key to victory?]Af3ACf
96H[The determination of the players… and…]bVR
irCJThen came the MVP interview.UfLY
RgsUjThe MVP was, obviously, the player who scored 3 goals.3eBYQU
KbLKA hat-trick.HzZTj
VjOIn football, that is extremely difficult.qo7
4bKicAnd achieving it makes him the undisputed best player.IJ0W
0epqq[Today you looked especially light on your feet. The comeback doesn’t even need explaining. Did something happen in the locker room?]DflA
iJY[The coach told us that if they scored 2 goals on us, we should score 3, and if they scored 3 on us, we should score 4.]cP9Hb
DWo“Huh?”ZNFbUN
WogUmxKeirin opened her eyes upon hearing the interview.EEtDCLl
8mzIbzThat phrase sounded far too familiar.4NjaWP
977fShe silently recorded the moment.nmY6Ka
Q46fG6[At first I thought it was crazy. But when we tied the game, I started to feel it.]tSFgul
pMGF1Id[What exactly did you feel?]HPaT7c
m5R[That if they score 3 goals on us, we just have to score 4. That that is the answer.]IVzW
sj1‘…Could it be that the coach also uses the gallery?’BQEzi
QUmThe coincidence was too perfect not to suspect it.LkZw
OVS2YWbStill, it wasn’t a bad thing.V1LezeS
rzOFrom now on, they would play more offensively.4eY
TGa87zUntil now, Chayu focused only on defending and ended up losing even winnable matches.L89LFn
GoCKONIt was like wearing clothes that didn’t fit.JvKYkLm
7Eolv“Hmm~”jZA21PH
isszuKeirin, happier than she had felt in a long time, hummed while tidying up.iUSfArW
fIz5OYThe excitement of the comeback was still running through her entire body.tnJ2
Ihpt8p‘They say in baseball everything starts in the ninth inning it must be something similar.’RvuBE
353KThinking about it that way, she understood why people watched baseball.PFV
p8hrxUntil the final out, nobody knows who will win.4GGI
pnCHWith that new understanding, she left the training field.3uCc
7iSWteJBefore leaving, she didn’t forget to change out of her Chayu uniform and into a dress.Pev
CF6xzG“Good work, Princess.”OdAFrvA
QNmOutside, an elderly butler was waiting for her.FPa8OX
sMGC0WKeirin nodded with a slight smile.Ac3
SizThe butler, noticing something, spoke carefully.7oHDaB
H5Oao“It seems you have made progress in your training.”V0r
rFCOn8“Yes. Today I made great progress.”MhEGq
NMLjipWhile speaking, she thought of her father, Asmodeus.YOkEn
aL2l8WThey had entered training at almost the same time.V8hNA
kPTV“And Father?”6x42xVq
bo0e“Well, that is…”sVkMZY
EEVHThe butler hesitated.VwzoW
ed3jHe seemed uncomfortable.PFOIy
j8JKeirin raised an eyebrow.HvAcVPY
FQa57“The emperor… did not make much progress. Rather… it seems he lost control.”Ctoen7
Ya0nf“Hm?”7jeCNGl
fOkKeirin opened her eyes wide.FzDo2Hj
s9tRVRIAsmodeus losing control.HW674O
TDJWJHDemons release mana when their emotions intensify.XxbQ98d
7XrgGShe herself had done so out of excitement.LjWAf
k3QmQ0LBut if it were anger, the damage would be enormous.aRK
iwiIEFrom the way the butler spoke, it was obvious.fhKd1
BsOq“I thought he had been calm these last 10 years. Did something happen?”fcDYw
aULK“I do not know. But it is definitely not something good.”r99NEtG
LDkO“I understand. I will be careful.”ixVPJTC
ZibEzCKeirin nodded and left.0ASCP
LI22IIThe butler bowed and withdrew.eTImyL1
tvzAs she walked, she thought about her father.gLQ9
sM3QY9‘I thought he had calmed down…’E2J7
08w2NAsmodeus was a terrifying figure.6FxA
ZgLqnOverwhelming power and charisma impossible to hide.2EIbxy
qbAknOnly his family saw his human side.pUuS2UJ
x0KP‘Well, he has his moments.’jNyuqG
lHvMShe didn’t think too much of it.qZPx3e
6CvFoLHe had never harmed her.nJZ8M
MXJDMHThen she entered her room and threw herself onto the bed.iC3cb1
qEgp9“Hehe…”ohd3ZO
nbEEfShe smiled like an idiot.9v42
p75FNothing like her cold and elegant image.nQcJz
jNAqM‘When was the last time I felt like this?’N1iZ28j
8rRz2That intense emotion, almost forgotten.yQR39
t7oXmDONot even drugs satisfy demons.y4Mu8
X8O8But this was different.ACEd
sp7s‘This isn’t the time to think. To the gallery.’JKVR
7SJAUShe would spend the rest of her time there.cIIqCZ3
ewXThe gallery was full of revived Chayu fans.h2T
iVQDo[From now on, this is the Chames United gallery.]bsujzR6
70sThat post was pinned with an enormous number of likes.Hv8
