the other side.

Huihui shouted back, "I am the Red Team's top rider and the master of explosive magic! Try my soul-piercing strike!"

"Because you will be disqualified, you are prohibited from using Explosion Magic!"

Youyou shouted immediately.

After the horse battle, it's time for pitching.

"...But the White Team is making absolutely no progress. Why is that?"

Guild employee Luna looked puzzled. Then she saw Darkness standing in front of the pitching stick, struggling to prevent the ball from going into the net.

"Ouch, that hurts! Again, please!!!"

"Hey Darkness, don't get hit by the ball! Why is that guy playing the basket? And what's she doing blocking the way?"

Xiaolin said this with a headache on his face.

Aqua said helplessly, "Kobayashi, Darkness is finished. Let's give up this event and save our energy for the next competition!"

There is no choice but to do this.

the other side.

"It seems like they've already given up." Observing that Kobayashi and the others weren't throwing anymore, Yuugo's eyes flashed with wisdom as he said, "There's only one thing we need to do..."

"We'll widen the gap between us and the opponent here," Youyou added. "It's pathetic, but it's still a competition—"

"wrong."

You suddenly interrupted her, saying, "Isn't it cooler to win a hard-fought victory than to win by a large margin? From now on, I'm going to help Team White and make the game even more intense!"

"Why did it turn out like this?!"

Youyou looked like she was about to cry, unable to accept that her good friend was turning around and helping another group.

But the Roasted Sweet Potato Tyrant was delighted, and it couldn't help but shout, "Great! Great! More! More and more, let's compete!!!"

From this perspective, it seems that choosing the right option wasn't wrong? After all, if the Sweet Potato Tyrant wasn't satisfied, they might be attacked by him.

"Alright! The Axel Grand Games are drawing to a close! The White Team leader is now facing off against—the street dance race, set against the backdrop of the city!" Standing atop a wooden crate, Guild employee Miss Luna shouted, "Red Team, White Team, representatives of all teams, please proceed!!!"

In the queue below.

Darkness said very seriously, "Kobayashi, I'm counting on you! Win here and widen the gap!"

"If you had put in the effort during your pitching just now, the gap wouldn't need to widen anymore." Kobayashi rolled her eyes at the freakish female knight, annoyed. If it weren't for her, although the match wouldn't have ended there, there certainly wouldn't have been this much pressure.

And the other side.

"Go, Yoyo!" Huihui clenched her fists to cheer on her best friend, shouting, "Even if it's just a little bit, we can't let the gap widen! The hope of the whole village... the chance for the Crimson Demon Clan to improve its reputation is all in your hands!!!"

"Don't put pressure on me...! Also, it was clearly you, Megumin, who ruined the reputation of the Crimson Demon Clan, so why should I be the one to improve it? That's so strange!"

"Well, since you're the next leader of the Crimson Demon Clan, you'd better do your best!"

"It's not fair!"

Youyou was on the verge of tears, but under Huihui's pressure, she could only pull herself together and prepare for the upcoming competition.

At this moment, Ms. Luna, the guild employee standing on the wooden crate, explained the rules of the race, shouting, "After receiving the signal, please draw a slip of paper from the box containing the question. Then, find the item written on it and bring it to the finish line. The first contestant to reach the finish line and be recognized will win the race! ...Alright, on your marks...Ready, go!"

As soon as the referee gave the order, Kobayashi was the first to move out, covering the short distance of one hundred meters in the blink of an eye, and then put his hand into the box to look for the note.

"What... Oh, it's a bonus question! How lucky!"

Seeing the items he needed to borrow on the note, Kobayashi smiled confidently. Then, he called out to the silly goddess cheering him on, "Aqua, come with me! I need your power!"

"Me!?" Aqua was slightly surprised, then nodded and said, "I see, I know what the question is!"

She looked like a famous detective solving a case.

Although he didn't know why she was so confident, it was a good thing that she was willing to come, so Kobayashi grabbed her wrist and ran quickly toward the finish line.

On the other side, Youyou quickly arrived at the box and pulled out a slip of paper as well. However, when she saw what it was—

"My topic is... what!?"

She gasped in surprise, completely at a loss for what to do.

Youyou's unusual reaction naturally aroused the commentator's suspicion, who exclaimed, "Oh dear, this... Youyou, this is very perplexing! What kind of question is she asking!?"

Youyou stood there looking conflicted, and her reaction excited Huihui, who shouted, "What are you doing?! Don't worry, get moving!"

"Even if you say that...!"

Youyou's expression became even more conflicted, and she couldn't help but whisper, "What should I do... The topic I drew is 'friends'... If it's Huihui, can we hold hands and cross the finish line together? Would she be more likely to help me? But...! Can I just say they're friends? What should I do!?"

She was slightly frantic, pulling her hair and spinning around in circles. Her distressed appearance made the viewers feel heartbroken.

Huihui said with equal doubt, "It seems even stranger than ever before. Is Youyou alright?"

"Hmm, could this be..."

They seemed to have discovered something.

The commentator, equally worried, shouted, "Youyou, you're just standing there! The red team seems to be in a desperate situation!!!"

"W-what...what do I do?!"

Upon hearing this, Youyou became even more conflicted.

"Alright! The competition for borrowing items has unexpectedly turned into a one-sided affair! Red Team, is everything over now!?"

Woohoo...

If this continues, I'll lose the game, but I'm presumptuously treating them as friends—

"Don't look down, Youyou!"

Just as she was at a loss, Huihui's voice came, and she shouted, "I will not forgive you for giving up like this!"

"Megumi!?"

"I don't know what you're worried about, but you can definitely do it! If you keep going like this, you'll be betraying the reputation of the Crimson Demon Clan's greatest mage!"

"—Huihui is right! Take courage, Youyou!"

You Gou also cheered her on from the sidelines.

"You two..." Youyou was deeply moved, then nodded seriously and said, "I understand! Please, come with me!"

"Ah, it's no big deal!"

"Start catching up from here, Red Team, keep it up!!!"

"Oh!!!"

Yu-Yu finally made up her mind, but instead of searching for any one of them, she took Yu-Gou and Hui-Hui with her. The three of them quickly chased after the departing Kobayashi and Aqua duo.

"The white team has reached the finish line!!!"

Unfortunately, they still lost the game.

"The Red Team rallied in the second half, but they were still just one step behind!" Miss Luna said with a sense of helplessness and regret. "If the Red Team had been more determined from the start, they would definitely have won."

"What------!?"

"how so…………"

Huihui and Youyou screamed. They had finally made up their minds and fought hard, but in the end they lost the game. How could they accept this?

"Don't give up, you two!" Yougou suddenly said, "Don't forget that in the borrowing contest, it's still necessary to confirm whether the borrowed item is correct. We can't jump to conclusions before that's confirmed. In other words, we still have a chance!"

"Have enough skills..."

"That's right!"

Although the chances seemed slim, they had come this far, and how could they willingly give up now? Even though their only hope for victory lay in the possibility that the other side had borrowed something illegal, there was still hope, wasn't there?

So the three of them continued running toward the finish line.

the other side.

Ms. Luna, the guild counter clerk who acted as starter, commentator, and referee, also shouted loudly, "But the borrowing race isn't over yet! Finally, please allow me to check—whether the questions were answered correctly!!!"

Kobayashi and Aqua approached her and handed her the note.

"First, let's hear from the White Team! What kind of question is it???"

"Of course, goddesses or something like that?"

Aqua puffed out her chest triumphantly and gave the answer she had long expected. However—

"No, it's not."

Kobayashi answered without any hesitation.

Luna, the guild counter clerk, took the slip of paper, unfolded it, read it carefully, and said, "Mr. Kobayashi's topic is... 'Useless Guy'! Hmm, that... no problem!"

"Haaaaaah—?!!!!"

Seeing the referee accept the ruling, Aqua was immediately displeased. She shouted, "Wait a minute, what's going on?! I object! I can't accept this decision, I protest! I protest!!!"

She loves being called the Goddess of Uselessness, the Goddess of Idiots, or the Goddess of Uselessness, so she absolutely cannot accept being called a useless person.

Darkness calmed the agitated Aqua, explaining gently, "Aqua, calm down. We won. There's no point in protesting, is there?"

"But……!!!"

Aqua wanted to say something more, but victory was far more useful than protest at the moment, so she could only grimace and reluctantly accept the title of this useless guy.

"Next up, it's the Red Team's turn to answer!"

As they confirmed their answers, Youyou, Huihui, and Yougou finally arrived at the finish line.

"Miss Youyou, this way please!"

"Ok."

Youyou came to her side.

At this moment, Huihui asked with some curiosity, "So, what exactly was Youyou's topic? After agonizing over it for so long, she finally chose us..."

"Um..." Youyou said excitedly, "This is a secret for the two of you! Miss Luna, the note with the question."

"Let me double-check... Oh, I see! Hehe, no problem!"

Ms. Luna, the guild counter clerk, smiled slightly and gave the same answer.

"That's great...!"

Youyou breathed a sigh of relief.

If the referee hadn't acknowledged it, she might not have been able to become friends with Huihui and Yougou. But since someone acknowledged it, doesn't that mean they are friends?

"Hmm, I feel a little itchy inside..." Huihui scratched her head and looked at them, then asked in a low voice, "You're so good, do you know what the question is?"

"Ah, I know a little bit, I guess." Yougou smiled, but said, "For Youyou's sake, I have to keep it a secret."

"What kind of answer is this?"

Huihui pouted, looking quite dissatisfied.

Then--

"That's fantastic...!" The Roasted Sweet Potato Tyrant exclaimed happily, "This is the true meaning of struggle...!"

This seems to acknowledge the friendship between the three of them.

Meanwhile, Luna, the guild counter clerk, smiled and called out, "Both of you ran beautifully! Everyone, let's give you a round of applause!"

A wave of applause erupted at the scene.

"After the break, it's finally time for the final relay race! Don't miss it!"

"Okay, let me see it to the end. And in the end, give it your all!"

The "Roasted Sweet Potato Tyrant" said this with a hint of threat.

"I-I know!" Huihui pouted a little fearfully and said, "How could I possibly slack off!?"

Although she had just expressed her reluctance to participate in the relay race.

“Of course!” shouted the Roasted Sweet Potato Tyrant, “If we let our guard down even slightly, this city will vanish—”

"Yes, we will do our best to do it! So, let's get ready!"

Then Kobayashi ran into the crowd.

"Everyone, assemble." Kobayashi said seriously, "Let's have a tactical meeting before the relay race."

"How's the roasting of sweet potatoes going?"

Huihui asked in a low voice, a little worried.

"Although I was in a good mood, I was threatened that I had to work hard until the very end..."

Xiaolin said this with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Ah!" Darkness exclaimed enthusiastically, "We must persevere to the very end!"

"Everything is for a peaceful Halloween! Everyone, make sure you finish the run!"

"Oh oh oh!" xN

Then everyone prepared for the competition with great enthusiasm.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that, thanks to the groundwork laid in previous competitions, their fighting spirit has been fully ignited. They might have fought with all their might even without the threats from the "Sweet Potato Tyrant." And the "Sweet Potato Tyrant's" threats might just be a trigger.

So, Kobayashi and Yu-Yu were the first batters, Darkness and Megumin were the second batters, and Aqua and Yu-Gou were the last batters.

The relay race has begun.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Aqua shouted as she charged forward with all her might.

"—Aqua, the last runner, has now pulled away from the 'Negotiator' and crossed the finish line! Team White has won the relay race!"

Ms. Luna, the guild counter clerk, shouted enthusiastically.

Then, cheers erupted from the crowd.
