Kamisama no Kago wo Kyohishitara?! Chapter 558

558 This Is Impossible

 

I quietly wait on my seat. The crowd is still jamming the exits even now but the flow of people is gradually receding.
Dunno how long this will go on, but it's not like I'm in a hurry.
That's probably why. Someone called out to me.
Who?

"Hey, can I have a bit of your time? I need to talk. Mind if I take the next seat over?"

The person asking is fully hooded and mantled, I can't see his face.
But his voice sounds familiar.

"...Yes. Go ahead. What is this about? Please tell it to me straight, no dilly dallying."

"Fumu, 'tell straight' huh. I believe that's a phrase from Hinomoto. Very well. I'd like to fight you. What do you say?"

I knew this was coming when I heard the voice. And I was bracing for it. But.

"I'd have to refuse. I cannot imagine why you would ask, but don't you think this is too much as a joke? It's not something you ask from a kid that has just come of age."

Yep, this person is one the fighters that was on the ring just now.

"That's a shame. And I went out of my way to don this Concealment Spell-enchanted mantle to speak with you too. This has made me all the more motivated however. After all, no ordinary people can see through this mantle. Keyword being ordinary people. And no, the power does not weaken because I initiated the conversation. Only mages with an outstanding amount of mana can achieve the feat."

He had cast the hook from the very first approach.

(What's up with this champion, seriously... He just ignored my circumstances...)

I got caught in his trap hook, line and sinker, not because I'm an easy target.
This trap is normally something that cannot be perceived right away. At least to those with ordinary senses.

"You have shown your capability by seeing through this mantle. I assume you must be a powerful mage. My impression was right on the mark. I cannot recall the last time I found someone I proactively want to fight. What do you say? I'll pay you to fight me. Let's see, for 30 gold coins. Won't you reconsider?"

He started negotiating on his own. But I can't readily refuse him this time.
Why? Because I told him I'm just an ordinary kid. Yet his magical mantle is impenetrable to ordinary people.
I've outed myself as non-ordinary by doing the extraordinary.
At least the fact that I have some kind of power. There's no way to brush it over now.

I mean the guide next to me isn't even looking here.
Meaning I'm within the spell range. The guide doesn't seem to hear our conversation either, indicating I won't be able to get out of this.

(I didn't hide my face. He'd likely seek me out on his own later if I kept refusing here.)

He definitely won't give up. The smile he flashed this way after his victory convinced me that.

Besides, his magic mantle has always looked like an ordinary brown mantle to me.
I think it's because I don't have mana. The mechanism behind it is probably something magical that interferes with another magical thing.
As such, someone without any shred of mana like me is unaffected by it.
There's still a chance that a similar magic out there can still affect me though.

How did he even come up with this trap? I can confidently declare that there's no way to avoid it.

"Okay, I get it. But I have one more condition."

There may be no avoiding this event, but that won't stop me from minimizing the damage on me.
