I Became a Gladiator in the World of Gender Reversal

59 – After Effects-5

“That’s not good…”

“Why do you think Florence will lose?”

“That’s not it.”

Although he lost to me, objectively, Florence was a swordsman several levels above me.

I forgot, but she was also a rookie gladiator. Of course, she never had to fight against a high-level foe.

Besides, I was fighting an ‘enemy I shouldn’t normally fight’ because of the penalty for my armor.

A person stronger than me is fighting against a person weaker than me.

There was no way there would be an unnerved sword fight, but at least there was no reason to doubt her victory.

“The crowd…”

His expression was not good. If it was natural, it was natural.

Protesters did not think they would disappear easily.

Daisy was doing her best, but she also did her best to keep the protesters from interfering with people entering and leaving the Colosseum.

They were people who came after hearing that they were accomplices in a violent culture and that they were fighting like slaves because there were buyers like you. There was no way I could smile happily.

“It’s a little disappointing.”

Dana naturally took my hand.

“Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”

Her gaze was warm. However, she couldn’t believe her words and wait like this.

It was not that the number of spectators itself decreased. Because Florence was a rare gladiator who had a certain character even if it wasn’t me.

Her skills were guaranteed, and her fighting style was hot. The time she went into the sword fight itself wasn’t very long, but from the audience’s point of view, every moment felt like a highlight.

“That’s because it’s not that easy…”

However, Jerry was a bit different.

Other gladiators were reevaluated after unexpectedly easily collapsing in front of me, but Jerry is basically an ordinary gladiator.

“Because it’s about Florence, this audience is maintained. People like me and gladiators inferior to me deserve to die.”

Just because the number of audiences decreased did not mean that they suffered damage that day. However, gladiators are also people who are thirsty for attention after all.

If the Colosseum is not filled with spectators, it is inevitable to feel anxiety and fear.

Seeing the attitude of the audience, who was slightly intimidated, secretly got angry.

Everything was going well. My swordsmanship grew by leaps and bounds from a certain moment, and my love affair with Danawa was going well.

In this world, it was a bit slow for a man to have a crush on a woman.

The reason I continued this mysterious relationship was because I wanted to make the proposal a bit dramatic.

A woman of this era would never have received a well-prepared proposal. If it was her real proposal, she would do it right before her sword fight, too.

Still, I was a little angry. To the nobles who prevented me from becoming a gladiator because of their jealousy of them.

Although it was a little slow, Jerry and Florence were showing their feelings for me little by little, and I was enjoying and receiving that attention.

Since I’m not the kind of person who walks around like that, if you’re really interested in me, just push me properly like Florence.

It is not to interfere with my life as a gladiator and to incite others for it.

“Whoa…”

How can I reduce jealousy? To be honest, I didn’t understand. It was difficult for me to understand with my common sense that people I didn’t even know were cheering and being jealous of me.

Wait. Let’s think in reverse. If there are people who are jealous of me for such absurd reasons, then I have to cover these women to only make them more jealous.

In that case, it would be better to increase it. It was worth a try for anyone who could speak the language.

“…Tomorrow. Is anyone available?”

“Me, me! Me too, but… Everyone here will be fine. What about Marie?”

Jerry raised her hand, then she looked at her slightly and called out to someone else.

I don’t know if it’s scary to leave somewhere alone with me, or if it’s really for Marina Dana.

“Anytime is a place where I can go with my daughter.”

“Maybe… I think it will. Dana?”

“I don’t care any time. There’s no sword fight tomorrow… In the first place, Daisy will tell me to follow you, even if it means adjusting the schedule.”

“Then the only one left is Florence…”

Now that she’s the one who jumped into the gladiator arena, it’s clear that tomorrow is her day off.

If she gets hurt to some extent, it will take her time to recover, but I trusted her.

From noble mtl dot com

She’s not the kind of person who would get hurt by a fight like this, by an opponent like this.

In the first place, it is a plan that would be difficult to achieve without Florence. Praying that she won without her hurt, I watched her game with sweat on her hands.

Numerous aristocratic women gathered in the garden, which smelled of sweet flowers and tea.

“Does this place make you feel uncomfortable?”

The fragrant smell of tea hovered around them. At the light attack, the aristocrat who heard the words flinched.

In general, there weren’t many women who genuinely liked this gentle hobby.

It was an old-fashioned hobby. Most women wanted it not because she wanted a tea party, but because a man wanted that kind of hobby.

Because it was a hobby that could show off a woman’s status and leisure, spending generously on expensive tea leaves and expensive sweets.

“It’s inconvenient. Compared to what I enjoy at home, it’s a bit… Lack of facilities.”

The attacked woman evaded the words of her opponent, claiming her family name.

Because the easiest and quickest way to refute the statement, ‘Isn’t this kind of an old-fashioned place not suitable for you?’ Was to assert your lineage.

“Don’t set me up too much. There’s nothing good for us fighting among ourselves, right?”

However, there was nothing to gain from each other if the people gathered here were ranked.

Because this gathering was a gathering of women who were not chosen by men.

The face of the people was gorgeous. Most of them were women from aristocratic families, and a few commoners were also accomplished soldiers or famous merchants.

However, in the end, they were losers. There was not a single one of them who met a man and escaped from this gathering, but that was right away.

“And, it’s not the time when we’re fighting among ourselves. The momentum of the protesters is dying.”

“Ugh…”

“Unless we unite and mobilize other citizens, we will not be able to save the poor man after all.”

The faces of the nobles darkened.

“So, it was the wrong choice to mobilize commoners from the beginning! Well, it’s obvious. These b*tches have never met a man in the first place, so there can be no such thing as honor or sympathy…”

“No. That’s… Evan came out and stopped them himself.”

“What?”

It was unexpected. Next to women with men they dated, they were people who knew men well.

They believed and did not doubt the fact that a man could not call himself a gladiator with his sober mind.

“…Let’s check if the man has any debts. Let’s contact the guards as well.”

“In the first place, Selam’s response is slowing down! Isn’t it a place run by men’s money? Even if he was exiled once, a man is being treated like that, but it’s just a warning!”

“You shouldn’t trust a woman, as any man in Selam would know. If only they would give us a little more chance…”

There weren’t many people in here who were objective enough to blame themselves.

Even if there were some people like that, it was difficult for them to open their mouths easily.

The moment she opens her mouth saying that Selam’s woman is not at fault and that she is at fault, she is blaming not only her but also the countless people beside her.

“How about the guards? Are you talking well?”

“For now, they say thank you… I don’t think they care about the victim at all.”

“That’s right. Anyway, shouldn’t we get Evan away from the Colosseum and start the investigation?”

The aristocrats complained about not being able to compete.

“Let’s wait a little longer. At today’s meeting, you said Miss Florence was visiting?”

And Florence was one of them. A woman from an aristocratic family, who is full of intentions to meet men, but has never actually met a man.

Because he was a person who had enough qualifications to join this gathering.

“Traitor. Miss Florence, isn’t she a depraved woman now? She doesn’t even think of putting in any proper effort, and she’s vulgarly thinking of becoming a gladiator…”

“Anyway, I’m an insider. Right now, rather than arguing about Miss Florence’s faults, it’s time to think about how to get Evan out of here.”

One of her ladies, who was friendly with her Florence, hurriedly defended her.

“That’s right, let’s go! If it’s Miss Florence, she might have a plan to rescue Evan-sama by now!”

“No matter how much they say they’re friends, it’s an overestimate. Well, wait a bit and you’ll find out.”

They drank tea nervously, waiting for visitors to enter the garden.

“I’m sincerely sorry for being late! I’ve brought a special guest, so please welcome me!”

However, that was not the direction they wanted.

In the imagination of the original nobles, this time should have been a hearing.

Time to crush Florence, her traitor, and find a way to escape her Evan through her.

However, Florence far exceeded their expectations.

Behind her, a man was following her.
