俺は、開始早々、キザムに、捌けるであろう強さで自分の力を調節し、仕込みナイフを投げる。
思った通り、剣で、はじこうとしてくれる。
キザムの双剣と俺のナイフが触れ合った瞬間に...!
ドカーンと巨大な爆発音をを立て、ナイフが花火のように色とりどりに爆発する。中の麻痺薬も相手はモロに吸い込んだはずだ。
あまりに突然の爆発で、会場がシーーンとなってしまったみたい。
煙が晴れると、そこには気絶したように麻痺して、動かなくなっているキザムが。
そこで審判が来てジャッジをした。彼は、俺の方に掌を向ける。
そして気づいたように、司会のカイムさんが、やっと口を開く。
〔き...き...決まったぁぁぁっ! およそ一瞬の出来事! 前大会優勝者、秒速で倒れてしまうぅっ! 速い、強いぃぃっ! 勝者、アリィィィィムッナーーリウェェェェイッッ!!〕
「「「ワァーーーーーーーーーーッ!!!」」」
拍手! 喝采! 大歓声! アリム(ちゃん)コールが鳴り止まない。
俺は清々しい気分で、手を振って、お辞儀して、天使の笑顔を見せてから、退場した。
〔今のはどうやってキザム選手をたおしたのでしょうか? ギルマーズさん?〕
〔あれは仕込みナイフだな。しかも、火薬の量が、大きな怪我をさせず、なおかつ気絶させるほどのダメージを与えるように、絶妙な調節がしてあり、さらに綺麗に見えるように色もつけてやがる。あれこそ、アリムナリウェイ選手の強さっていったところか〕
〔と...すると、あのナイフはアリム選手自身で作ったと?〕
〔ん...まぁ、そうなるわな、武器コレクターの俺が言うんだから間違いねぇよ〕
〔それは凄い選............_________________〕
はぁ、緊張したぁ...。
この後暇だなぁ...いいや、試合まで、控え室でしばらく寝ちゃえっ!

ほっぺたプニプニされてるよーな気がする...。
誰だよ...俺のアリムちゃんのほっぺたプニプニしてるの......。
そのプニプニしてる者は何か語りかけてくる。
「おい起きろ、アリム」
「ふぇ...? 誰でしゅかぁ......!? オリェのほっぺたプニってしてるのはぁ...?」
「俺だ、ガバイナだ」
「ほぇ...? ガバイナさん...? え、ガバイナさん!?」
「そうだ」
なんでガバイナさんがここに居るの? しかも毛布とかかけてあるよ。優しいね。
「なんでガバイナさんがここに?」
「あぁ、次のアリムの試合だからな。起こしたんだよ」
「あ...ありがとうございます! それで...ボクの対戦相手は誰でしょうか?」
「俺だ」
「へ? ガバイナさんがですか?」
ガバイナさんここまで勝ち上がってきたんだね。やっぱりそこそこ強かったのか。
「悪いが...俺も全力を出させてもらうぞ」
「勿論ですよ! ボクもその全力に応えますっ。ところで......」
「なんでボクのほっぺたプニプニしてたんですか? 起こすのなら肩を揺するなり...」
「ガバイナさん? あ、まさかっ!」
俺は、意地悪い顔でニィっと口角を吊り上げてこう言ってみた。
「ボクのほっぺた触ってみたかったんですかぁ?
「ち......違うっ...」
「じゃあ、なんで?」
むっ...認めないのか......ならば...。
「正直に言ってくれたら、勝手にプニプニしたことは許してあげますがぁ...?」
「どうしますぅ? 認めますぅ?」
「ふふーん、いいですよ! 許してあげましょー!」
おぉ、認めたぞ。やっぱり俺の柔肌は触り心地がいいんだな。
だって毎日お風呂で、自分でもムニムニしてるもん。...あれ、ガバイナさんがなんか考え事してるみたいだ。
「(本当は、また、うなされていたからな...笑わせてやろうと思っただけなのだが...。いや、確かに笑ったが...まさかあんな悪戯な顔をされるとはな............。触りたかったわけじゃないぞ? 本当だぞ。......しっかりしろ...俺...)」
「? ガバイナさん? どうかしました?」
「いや...別に。俺の控えはあっちだからな...もう行く。じゃ、また後でな、アリム。一応、呼ばれるのは俺が先だからな」
「はい、わかりましたー! では、また後で」
.........どうやら、前の試合が終わったようだ。
この第4回戦で勝った人5人と戦うんだ。
でも、まずはガバイナさんを倒さないと。
スタッフに準備をするように言われる。いよいよをもって入場だ。
まずはガバイナさんから。
〔第三回戦では華麗な槍さばきで相手を気絶させた彼っ! 第四回戦も巧みな槍の技で相手を翻弄するかっ!? 第440回、第442回、第443回武闘大会Bランクの部優勝、第447回、第448回武闘大会Aランクの部優勝...と、多数の優勝記録を残した実力者! ≪鬼槍士≫こと、ガバイナ・ドラングニアぁぁぁぁっ!〕
へぇ、ガバイナさん何回も優勝してるのか。俺でも気を抜いたらやられるかもしれない。今回一番の強敵かもね。
さてと...俺の出番ですか。
〔第三回戦では前大会優勝者を、いとも簡単にやぶった、この少女! 第4回戦もあの高速劇を見せてくれるのかっ! アリム・ナリウェイィィィィ!〕
俺は先程とは仕草を変えて入場する。可愛いとかたくさん聞こえてくるよ。
ふふーん、どうだ? 可愛いだろ~。最近俺、あざとくなってきた気がする。
さてと、試合がはじまるぞ。
〔それじゃあ、始めようかっ! 第四回戦...勝負開始っ!〕
As soon as the match started, I adjusted my power appropriately and threw my knife at Kizam.
As expected, he tried to parry it with his swords.
In the instant when Kizam's pair of swords made contact with my knife...!
Dokaan! And a huge explosion was made, the knife exploded colorfully like fireworks. He should have inhaled the numbing agent now.
Due to the abrupt and sudden explosion, the venue has become quite a scene.
When the smoke cleared, Kizam was down, paralyzed and cannot move.
Then the referee came to give his judgment. He then turned his palm to me.
Finally noticing what happened, Kyme, the comentator opened his mouth.
[It... It's has been decided!! It was just in an instant!! The winner of the previous tournament fell down in less than two seconds!! Fast! So strong! The winner is Alim Nariwei~!!] 
[[[Uoooo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~oh!!!] ] ] 
Applause! Ovations! Cheering! The call of Alim-chan rang out continuously.
I felt good, waved my hand, bowed, showed an angelic smile and then left the stage.
[How did that hit Kizam just now? Gilmars-san?] 
[That was a training knife. The amount of gunpowder is exquisitely adjusted so that it doesn't cause serious injury, and it was set to mainly cause stun damage. Alim Nariwei's strength can clearly be seen.] 
[Then... did Alim make that knife herself? ] 
[Hm, yeah, as a weapons collector myself, there is no other way for such a knife to exist] 
[What an amazing choice......___________] 
Haaa... I was nervous...
I'm free until the next match... hmm, until my next game. I'll sleep in the waiting room for a while!

It feels like someone is poking (punipuni) my cheek...
Who could it be... that's going punipuni on this Alim-chan's cheek...?
Then the person who was going punipuni on my cheek finally said something.
[Hey, wakeup, Alim] 
[Fue...? Who is it...? Who is it that's going punipuni on my cheek...? ] 
[It's me, Gabaina] (Note previously I had it as Gabiinsan)
[Hoe...? Gabainsan..? eeeeeh Gabainsan!?] 
[Yup] 
Why is Gabainsan here? Furthermore, he placed a blanket over me. How kind.
[Why is Gabainsan here?] 
[Ahh... it's because Alim's match is next.] 
[Oh... thank you very much! So... who is my opponent?] 
[Me] 
[Eh? Gabainsan is it? ] 
Gabainsan has won his matches so far. As I thought, he is pretty strong isn't he.
[Sorry... but I won't hold back] 
[Of course! Likewise, I will also be putting forth my full power. By the way...] 
[Why where you going punipuni on my cheek? Rather than say, shaking my shoulder to wake me...] 
[Gabainsan? A... it can't be!?] 
I put on a teasing expression on my face and lifted the corners of my mouth in a knowing smile and said:
[Did you just want to touch my cheek? Hey, hey, Gabainsan, did you want to touch it? right? ] 
[Th... that's wrong] 
[Then, why?] 
Muu... he won't admit it... in that case...
[Honestly, if you admit to it, I'll forgive you for going punipuni on my cheek without permission...] 
[What will you do? Will you admit it? ] 
[fufufuun, that's good! Then I'll forgive you! ] 
Oo, he admitted it. As I thought, my fair skin is very nice to the touch.
After all, I bathe every day, and message (munimuni) my own skin.
[(In reality she was having a another nightmare... I just wanted to try make her smile... no, well, she certainly smiled... but it was such a mischievous face... I didn't just want to touch... certainly... I must tightly hold onto my innocence...)] 
[? Gabainsan? Is there something the matter? ] 
[No... nothing in particular. I have to wait over there, so I gotta go already.  Well then, later Alim. We'll meet in a bit.] 
[Hai, got it! Then, see ya later] 
............seems like the previous match is now over.
There will be a fight with 5 people who have wont the 4th round.
But, first I have to defeat Gabainsan.
The staff told me to prepare. It is about time to enter.
First, Gabainsan
[He stunned his opponent in the 3rd round with his magnificent spear technique! In the 4th round how will he display his majestic spear technique!? The 440th, 442nd, and 443rd B-ranked tournament champion and the 447th and 448th ranked tournament champion... with a record of many victories! Mister Super Spear, Gabaina Drangnia~~!] 
Hee, how many victories does Gabainsan have? I might be able to do something like that if I got used to it. This might be my most powerful opponent yet.
Well then... it looks like my turn to enter.
[The girl who beat the previous tournament winner in the third round! Will she show a high speed performance in the 4th round? Alim Nariwei~!] 
I enter with a different gesture from last time. I hear a lot of mentioned of my cuteness.
Fufuun, how is it? Cute aren't I? Lately I feel as though I have become somewhat sly.
Well then, the match is about to start.
[Alright, everything is ready! Let the 4th round begin! ]
