Konbini Ossan Volume 8 Chapter 31 — The Final Checkpoint
Leaving behind Mimori’s “Nnhooo~!” as she begged to smell me at parting, we finally make our way to the final gate.
If this gate is breached, we lose. Otogi Trading Company would suffer damage severe enough to call it devastation.
Conversely, if we win here, I can proceed as originally planned.
I had anticipated as much, but it seems the final checkpoint will indeed decide everything.
When we open the door to the final gate, a single woman is waiting inside.
“I’ve been waiting, Yūichi.”
Yes. One of my beloved wives. Arisa.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Arisa.”
“Nope. I was watching everything on the monitors. The calculator’s all set, too.”
“Thank you.”
I say that and kiss Arisa on the cheek.
Turning back toward the members of the Demon King’s Army, who are watching us with exasperated expressions, I address them.
“Well then, everyone. This is the final checkpoint.”
“The one over there is the opponent for this battle?”
“No. She is Arisa, my wife. Here, she is merely the witness overseeing the match.”
At my words, Arisa nods.
“That’s right. I’m just the witness. Your opponent is someone else.”
“And who would that be?”
“He’s standing right in front of you. My husband. Otogi Yuuichi.”
At Arisa’s introduction, I bow once toward the Demon King’s Army.
“As introduced, I am Otogi Yuuichi, the one in charge of the final checkpoint.”
“Hm, as I thought. You are the final opponent.”
Vladgaria nods in understanding.
“The magic power you displayed at the beginning did not surpass mine, yet it seemed comparable to those Heroes earlier. With that level of strength, it is understandable you would stand as a gatekeeper.”
She pauses there and fixes me with a sharp gaze.
“However, that is all it amounts to. If you possess only power on par with the Heroes, can you truly stand against me?”
Her point is fair. In truth, my status is as follows:
━━━━━━━━━━
【Name】Otogi Yūichi
【Level】2385
【Strength】SSSS
【Magic Power】SSSS
【Stamina】SSSS
【Speed】SSSS
【Attribute】None
【Skill】ERROR
━━━━━━━━━━
On paper, I appear equal to Kanehama. But if he is mid-tier within SSSS, then I am lower-tier. My numbers only barely reach SSSS.
“Don’t underestimate him, shorty.”
(E/N: Arisa-chan with the roasts, damn! 🤣)
It is Arisa who responds to Vladgaria’s doubtful remark. Having been called “shorty”, Vladgaria frowns in displeasure as Arisa continues.
“If anything, you should brace yourself. From my assessment, Yūichi will almost certainly beat you. He’ll beat you down so thoroughly you won’t even have an excuse.”
“Oh? That is an amusing joke.”
Vladgaria smiles fearlessly as she retorts to Arisa’s provocation.
For some reason, despite me being the one who will fight, it is Vladgaria and Arisa who seem most fired up.
“In any case, let us begin. Everything will be clear once we fight.”
At my words, both Vladgaria and Arisa nod simultaneously.
“Indeed. Results are everything.”
“Yūichi. Go all out. You can use ‘that’ too.”
“Understood.”
I nod in response to Arisa’s words.
Soon, Vladgaria takes her stance as well. Once both of us are ready, Arisa declares:
“Alright then, final round, begin!”
Thus begins the battle between the current Demon King and a summoned individual burdened with leftover skills.
