Chapter 259.2. A Decisive Race To Finish Line

“I won’t lose in terms of acceleration! It seems like I’m surpassing the speed too!”

“Tsk, it’s a simple magic, but the acceleration is indeed unbelievable!”

With a look of astonishment on Elizabeth’s face, Mii-chan zoomed past her with super acceleration. She smirked, lifted her hair casually, and spoke with a cynical smile.

The finish line was right ahead. From the stands, the crowd cheered them on. I could see spectators cheering, and an overweight guy who had probably drunk too much beer was sleeping.

“Go for it, Mii-sama!”

“Just a bit more, Em-chan.”

“Elizabeth, give it one last push!”

“Show some spirit, Elizabeth-san!”

The excitement spread as everyone watched Mii-chan and Elizabeth.

Mii-chan opened her mouth wide and let out a roar.

Ahead, there was a rocky area protruding from the water’s surface.

Elegantly maneuvering through it would lead them to the finish line!

“My WIN! Aiyah, ow!”

With elegance, I collided with the rocky hill, bouncing like a pinball, making victorious sounds, and sped forward, spinning around and charging towards the finish line tape.

“Whoaah~…”

Mii-chan spun her eyes around, then spun her body around and crashed into a wall.

Maneuvering during the super acceleration was difficult. I had completely forgotten its weakness: it could only be used in straight lines.

“…………”

The audience gaped in disbelief at Mii-chan’s dramatic finish.

They turned their attention to the rocky area where Mii-chan had just passed.

The carefully constructed rocky area that had been set up for the race was now shattered into pieces by Mii-chan’s forceful impact.

“…………”

They looked back at Mii-chan. The still-spinning beautiful girl was groaning, “auu.”. But her smooth skin was unblemished.

Then, with a stunned expression, Elizabeth crossed the finish line.

“What’s going on with this turn of events?”

The audience is facing each other with puzzled looks.

The crowd fell into silence, creating an awkward atmosphere, until suddenly.

“Ohh~! Hic, is it over? Is the winner Takano Miu? Congratulations, whoooa~!”

Sakuma, the overweight guy, holding a can of beer, loudly and excitedly announced. There seemed to be a stall selling alcohol nearby, which was improper.

His words triggered the audience to erupt into applause and cheers.

“Congratulations, Mii-sama!”

“You did it, Em-chan, yay!”

“Amazing! Congratulations!”

“Yay! Congratulations!”

Mii-chan’s spinning finally stopped, and she waved her hands vigorously, wearing a radiant smile, answering the cheers.

There were various ups and downs, but she had managed to win. Even in game mode, she didn’t know if she could win the next time. Elizabeth was just that strong.

“Truly the legendary Bounce and Charge Technique of Takano Miu. I got to witness a legend.”

“Who would have thought she would smash through the rocky hill like that!” Follow current s on ɴovel(F)ɪre

“I was so moved to see such amazing skills.”

“Yaaay, congratulations!”

The referee gentlemen also praised me.

It seems they were unaware that the Mist Dungeon has transformed into its true form, Ice Dungeon.

Well, it was a deep misty dungeon after all. Even me causing a commotion at the center probably went unnoticed. They were intentionally excluding people.

“Heh~… The final push… It was reckless, but I lost. It’s my defeat.”

Sighing as if she was giving up on something, Elizabeth stepped down from her float board and extended her hand, which I shook firmly.

“It was a good match, Elizabeth-chan.”

“Well, let’s go with that. I thought I couldn’t lose in the Free Class… I was a bit overconfident.”

Running her fingers through her blonde hair, Elizabeth returned the handshake with a tsundere expression.

“From now on, things might get tough, but if you ever need me, I’ll be there to help, Elizabeth-chan.”

“I’ll decline for now. I feel uneasy. I’ll be busy with the inheritance and such after this, so we probably won’t see each other for a while.”

Well, her father had been killed, after all. Even though she appears calm, Elizabeth does possess a strong spirit. Quite impressive.

“Alright then, take care of the rewards for winning.”

“Yes, given the situation, everything should go smoothly. …Well then, let’s meet again sometime, Takano Miu.”

With a confident smile and a small nod, Elizabeth turned around and left with an air of composure and elegance.

Her departing figure exuded the grace and beauty befitting of a noble.

“Elizabeth-chan, make sure your coat doesn’t flip up!”

“Eek! I completely forgot I-I’ll change right away!”

Seemingly remembering that despite her long coat, she was naked underneath, Elizabeth held down her hem and ran off with a bright red face.

Watching Elizabeth leave, Mii-chan exhaled softly.

Today’s events provided a lot to think about. The Golden Thread is particularly intriguing. But I won’t be able to enter that world for a while. What a pity

“I guess I’ll head home too. The hamburgers are waiting.”

As Yamiyo and the others gathered around, Mii-chan waved and smiled brightly. The Golden Thread was delicious, but still, nothing beats mama’s homemade hamburgers.

“Hey, Daddy~, I got Puess 5 from the raffle. They said I’d get a prize if I bought a bunch of tickets. Even though there were no winning tickets, I didn’t quite get why.”

Shaking an empty wallet and cradling a handheld game console, the little girl reported her results to a tipsy middle-aged man with a smile. It’s a typical scene you’d find at a festival.

And there’s no doubt Sakuma won’t be invited as a guest again.
