The Dirty Plan

"...This match winner is Lady Anathisia Delia."

"What!?"

Referee Chris frowned and declared the end of the match mercilessly.

"Why! Our match with Elysion isn't over yet!"

"That's right! And why is it considered my loss?"

Anathisia, dissatisfied with the decision, confronted Chris and the other referee, Lorenzo. Of course, I did too.

"What are you saying? Elysion hadn't been able to withstand a single one of Lady Delia's attacks, desperately hiding behind his shield."

"If this were to continue, something would likely happen to my brother. It's time to end this."

"That's right. This match is simply for the goodwill between the Kingdom of Silvercrest and the Holy Kingdom of Regalia. It's by no means meant to harm Elysion."

Chris' words were echoed by Lorenzo.

Even though neither Anathisia nor I desired it.

"But...!"

"Sigh... Anathisia, please calm down."
