#615 The Otherworldly Pro Wrestling a Fan Saw

This is a story shortly before Momoko and co.’s wrestling show started...

* * *

I am a humble citizen of the Demon Kingdom.

I transport packages with my carriage all day long, and after work, I look forward to a drink at the pub. 

It’s a monotonous cycle of the same old routine.

Life would be more colorful if I at least had a girlfriend, but I can’t help it if I don’t have one.

But one day, as I stifled my yawn, wondering if something exciting would come my way...

“A fighting event?”

As my routine goes, I’m here at the usual pub after work. 

Same old faces. The only thing slightly out of the ordinary is the content of our conversation.

“They’re trying out something new, I hear. They were distributing flyers about it during the day.”

One drunken chap shows me a flyer.

...Huh? What is this?

A picture drawn with really vivid colors? It shows two women grappling each other, dressed in almost nothing but underwear, belly and thighs exposed...! 

“...”

“Don’t just pocket the flyer with a poker face on! Anyway, I heard this event will be held in Qiukeichi City.”

Qiukeichi City.

That’s the city by the borders of the Human Kingdom. I’ve been there many times due to the nature of my work.

“Oh? So you want me to watch this with you? Well, my carrier has had to transport people, but I charge a fare even if we’re drinking buddies.”

“I’m still thinking about it. Read this flyer carefully.”

Hm?

I’ve had my eyes glued to the boobs and thighs in the picture that I didn’t bother reading the words...

What’s it say?

Courtesy of the Adventurer’s Guild?

“The Adventurer’s Guild, as in...?!”

“Yep, an organization of the human race. Naturally, most contestants are human, and their main occupation seems to be adventurers. In other words, this is their publicity stunt!”

“Wait, really...?”

What does that mean, then?

“Adventurers are freelance professionals who kill monsters and explore dungeons. The Demon Kingdom doesn’t have that.”

“Yeah, monster extermination and dungeon exploration are the Demon King’s Army’s jobs, after all.”

“Seems that’s beginning to change lately. With the war gone, the army has to reduce its personnel. They’re even working so that some of their duties can be entrusted to the public sect.” 

“Including dungeon management?!”

“That’s right. The Adventurer’s Guild was chosen as the prime candidate for that. Which makes sense; they’re already experts in that field. They’re the perfect recipient.”

My first thought upon hearing this was: bullshit.

Dungeons and monsters are a serious threat to us, but they are also important resources.

We fear the monsters that spawn from the dungeons, but the skins and meat we get from hunting them sustain life in the Demon Kingdom.

How can people from another nation control such an important thing?

“It’s probably a show to divert our distrust toward them. This will showcase themselves and gain the favor of the masses to create a ground for acceptance. That’s their ulterior motive.”

Wow, man! You’ve really done your research!

“Don’t underestimate a pure demon! We won’t let humans take a single step on our land!”

“Yeah! We are the ones who sustain our lives! Why should we let a nation that lost the war ravage our land?”

“We must crush this nasty plot of the vile human race!”

So if you’re asking us whether we’ll go to this show about to be held in Qiukeichi City...!

“WE WILL! WE MUST GO THERE!!!”

...You know, it’s that—the thing they call reconnaissance. 

In order to defeat the enemy, you have to know them well, right? That’s what this research is for.

It’s definitely not because we’re enticed by the almost-naked women on the flyer!!!

* * *

And so, we went to see the wrestling show organized by the adventurers. 

I made extra money by transporting people to the event. Even after deducting the cost of my ticket to the show, I still made a decent profit.

That’s how many people wanted to watch the pop-up event, even if they had to ride my carriage, which wasn’t initially designed for humans.

It was really popular with the masses.

For the time being, I returned to the village and went into my usual pub with a few drinking buddies.

We sat down around a table.

“So...what do you guys think?”

I ask at the table.

“I think...Momoko was the best! She’s a legit wrestler—her power, speed, everything is above standard, and her moves are sharp! It’s no wonder she got to the finals!”

“Hold on. Momoko made it to the finals with Selena’s help, right? That was a tag-team match! You have to have a good partner to win, and in that sense, Selena’s assistance was the best. She’s absolute wife material!”

“Above all, Momoko is a cutie...! Her skin is glossy, and her rack is huge...!”

“Her supple skin and fair complexion make her stand out even more when she’s next to Selena! She looked as if she were glowing! What was the word for that again? Contrast?”

“Who would’ve thought a human and a demoness hottie would be so picturesque together...! That’s what I call a god-tier composition!!!”

Everyone was smitten with the tag team Lovely Pair of Momoko and Selena, one of the pairs of players in the tournament.

They were the most resilient of the girls!

Their moves were spectacular and attracted a lot of attention.

Let’s not forget, they were strong! It’s a fighting event, so you must be strong to survive!

“You dumbasses! Don’t be fooled!”

An angry voice erupts in the middle of our conversation about Momoko and Selena.

It’s one of the older men among the fellow drunks at the table.

“Have you forgotten what we went there for, you idiots? Weren’t we there to scout out the movements of the Adventurer’s Guild to prevent them from invading the Demon Kingdom?!”

Oh yeah...

Momoko and Selena’s charm made me forget all about that. 

But this elderly had not forgotten his original intention and was devoted to reconnaissance. He was prudent.

“...If you were to ask me, I’d say the most noteworthy person in today’s game was Pink Tonton!!!”

I take back what I said.

He’s just a maniac with outdated taste in women.

“S-Sure, Pink Tonton was also a fierce competitor who made it to the finals, but...”

“But appearance-wise, she’s, you know...”

Plump all over.

“Idiots! That’s exactly the good thing about her!!!”

Elderly people sure are in a different dimension from us...

“Thick is power! Even if she’s a woman, she can bounce off anything and crush anything with her huge body! It’s not surprising that she’s strong!”

“But charm-wise... um...!”

“Thick is attractive! She exudes strong carnal desire, and above all, she’s motherly!”

The old man is smitten by Pink Tonton’s pudginess. 

“Okay, okay. Let’s leave our comments on Pink Tonton’s beauty aside. Isn’t she a former mercenary?” 

“She was a sworn enemy of the Demon King’s Army during the war, so no matter how attractive you find her...”

It’s true that, unlike other adventurers, Pink Tonton’s history makes her a target of direct resentment.

It’s hard to support her as a fan with a background like that.

“Listen up, you idiots...!”

Nevertheless, the die-hard Pink Tonton fan insists.

“Indeed, she was a mercenary and was known as Bill Brunson then. I’ve encountered her on the battlefield. After all, I used to serve in the military.”

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?”

“The injuries I suffered from her tackles forced me to retire. But I can’t hold a grudge! If only you knew the pain and comfort from getting hit by her entire body!!!”

This old man just has personal adoration for Pink Tonton!

Keep that memory close to your heart, and cheer on the veteran players with a fiery passion!

“I can’t deny that Momoko and Pink Tonton were both great wrestlers, but...”

“The number one champion just has to be...”

“MISS BEAN CRUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

A unanimous statement.

“Miss Bean Crush! Now she’s the queen of the ring!”

“Her performance of smashing that boulder was astonishing, but the aura of nobility radiating from her was charming like no other!” 

“I bet she has a face like a princess under that mask! The mysteriousness with which she dares to hide it is also attractive!”

“Did you know? Miss Bean Crush once provided supplies for a food shortage in a remote area!”

“What noble behavior! Is Bean Crush capable of being not only the queen of the ring but also the queen of the world?!”

After watching the match, we were captivated by the beautiful women who had graced the event, and there was no end to the talk about them.

We also talked about the Demon King’s Army tag-team Batemy and Belena, the natto-propagating angel pair, and the finale where they all ganged up on Pandora. But if we include all that, there’ll be no end to this chapter.  

If there’s one thing I can say for certain, though, it’s that...

...I’ll be back to see the next show!!!
