Returned Lord Wants To Rest - Returned Lord Wants To Rest chapter 51

Episode 51.

I asked Ephinia implicitly.

“But you don’t have to go get that necklace right away, do you?”

“Hmm… the sooner the better. I think we still have a lot of time left.”

“Then… may I ask you a favor?”

There was something I wanted to try once when I came to the empire.

“Can I participate in the Colosseum of the Mycenaerian Empire?”

“Can I participate?”

“that is···.”

To become a gladiator in the Imperial Colosseum, there was a condition that you must be an imperial citizen.

“Is it? I guess it was.”

“But somehow, becoming a citizen of the empire just to become a gladiator is a bit…”

The reason I want to become a gladiator in the Colosseum is simple.

It is because the skills of those who are doing gladiators in the Colosseum are excellent.

It will be a good training partner.

“Well, I guess I can do something about it.”

“thank you.”

“By the way, do you know who the champion is now?”

yea, i remember

Probably the Sword Master Champion who took the title around this time and was undefeated until retirement.

“It’s pasta.”

Pastar.

He was a strong man who conquered the Colosseum with one shield and one spear.

In addition, his showmanship was excellent.

“That Pastaar is the one who will help you later.”

“yes···?”

Did Pastar have anything to do with Epinia?

However, Pastard did not receive a title of nobility from the Empire.

“Was Pastar a nobleman of the Empire?”

“Um… not a noble. I was just knighted.”

There is a difference between nobility and knighthood.

From nob le mt l. co m

Noble status is the same, but nobility usually confer land and wealth. A knighthood, on the other hand, is only honor.

“Pastar was knighted by the Mycenaean Empire.”

Then it makes sense. This is because once you have been knighted, you have an obligation to be loyal to the imperial family.

“It’s pasta…”

A warrior who wears a large shield and short spear in a costume that is close to his bare body.

I thought of getting along with him.

“Pasta… is it too bright?”

A covert mission seems completely impossible.

“Don’t worry about that. Even Pastard wears a suit when he needs to go on a clandestine mission.”

I’m glad if so

“Then, I will do some activities as a gladiator in the Colosseum.”

Epinia gave me a certain card.

“what is this?”

“It’s a plaque that guarantees your status in the imperial family. With this, even if you are not an imperial citizen, you will be able to become a gladiator.”

“Oh, thank you!”

I received an identity card from Epinia.

“Then, I’m done…”

I slowly got up.

“for a moment.”

Ephinia stopped me like that.

“why?”

“We need to decide how to contact you in the future.”

What is this?

“Are you in touch? I’ll be back here at night anyway.”

Epinia’s expression hardens.

“I don’t care, but young men come and go in the imperial family and the first princess’ residence? What will other people think?”

Oh, I had no idea.

I just thought there would be a room for sleeping guests here.

When I thought about it again after hearing Ephinia’s words, I was so foolish.

“Ah… that’s right. Then, I will stay at a nearby inn.”

“No, don’t even think about that. I’ll keep the inn separate. How to contact you is the problem.”

It is easy for Ephinia to visit me.

However, it is difficult for me to find Ephinia.

“Um… then… I think you can send a message to the inn where I will be staying when Epinia-senpai contacts you. The problem is when I need to contact you.”

Then Epinia laughed.

I couldn’t understand Epinia’s sudden laughter.

“This isn’t even an academy, what is Epinia-senior?”

“Ah… then, Princess Ephinia…?”

“Ah, I don’t want to hear the princess say even to you.”

If so, which one is good?

“Just call me Ephinia.”

“yes···? Even so, calling a country’s princess so casually is a bit…”

“it’s okay. we are not strangers It’s between money for ruins together.”

Ephinia smiled.

I agreed with a nod.

“By the way, what should I do if I need to be contacted?”

“hmm···.”

Is there any way to contact the princess without being noticed by others?

I couldn’t possibly remember.

Epinia clapped her hands as if she had a good idea.

“Yeah, I like it that way.”

“How?”

“I will send you my servant.”

Epinia said that she would send her attendant, and that the necessary contact would be through the attendant.

I also thought it was a good idea.

“That would be nice.”

“huh. Then, I will send my attendant to the inn later.”

“All right. Then, I will go too.”

“Okay, see you later.”

I left the drawing room. Then, I headed for the inn that Ephinia had told me about.

“oh···.”

It was also the imperial family.

Even the inn was reserved for a place that looked expensive.

“Am I going to stay here for a while?”

The thought of staying in a strange place reminded me of Patrick, Har, and Numberwan.

I got used to being with people, but I became alone again.

Being alone reminded me of the time before the regression.

“It makes me tremble for nothing.”

Shaking off my thoughts, I headed to the Colosseum.

I thought of the Colosseum I had seen before returning and when I briefly came to the Empire as Baron Drake’s escort gun.

It was grand every time I saw it.

“There he is.”

The doors of the Colosseum were open, and there was a commotion.

It seems that the game is in progress.

I heard that watching the game is a good idea rather than applying right away.

“hey.”

approached the receptionist.

“Yes, how can I help you?”

“I want to watch the game.”

“all right.”

I handed over the amount given to me by the receptionist and received the ticket.

After paying the ticket and entering the Colosseum, the inside was filled with the heat of the game.

“It’s getting hot.”

I found an empty seat and sat down and watched the game.

There was a familiar figure.

“Pasta!”

“Pastar, are you going to lose to that monster!”

I realized that the identity of the author was Pastard at the sound of the audience shouting.

I thought it was an event match.

Otherwise, there would be no way a naked human would fight an ogre.

“Awesome.”

Pastard was struggling with the ogre without any equipment.

“Is that really human?”

It was very strange to be a human struggling with an ogre.

“uh···?”

Pastard spilled the ogre and climbed onto the ogre’s back.

And immediately began to strangle the ogre.

is that possible?

The ogre’s neck is compared to that of a giant tree. Pastard was tightening the giant tree.

Soon after, the fainting ogre fell forward.

Pastard, who climbed on top of the fainting ogre, raised his arm.

“Pasta!”

“Pasta!”

All the spectators repeated one name.

It was a chilling sight.

“It has been like that before.”

Even in the Colosseum match we saw before returning, all the spectators shouted Pastar’s name.

The opponent at that time was a troll.

Ogres are stronger than trolls, but trolls are more tricky than ogres for humans to deal with naked.

“I was impressed when I saw it then.”

After seeing that match, I went to the Colosseum every single time I was in the Empire.

“It’s just like now.”

After the match, Pastar left the field.

Only Ouga remains in the arena.

“Kuh… am I going to do something like that?”

Gladiators competed in two main types of competitions.

They usually fight against humans, but a few popular gladiators also fight monsters.

“If it were me…”

If you think about it without telekinesis…

“Do I want to catch an ogre with my bare body?”

It’s not as muscular and huge as Pastard’s, but if you put mana around it, you’ll be able to generate as much power as Pastard’s.

“Just imagining it is thrilling.”

It was thrilling to imagine myself fighting an ogre in front of a huge crowd.

It was necessary to apply to become a gladiator before this excitement went away.

I went straight to the reception desk.

“I want to become a gladiator.”

“There are two conditions to becoming a gladiator.”

two?

“One is imperial, and the other is sword expert intermediate level.”

Sword Expert Intermediate level.

higher than expected Of course, it wasn’t too difficult for me to become a gladiator.

“Here is your identity card.”

I handed over the identity card Epinia gave me.

Then, it was the person at the reception desk who was wide-eyed.

“Imperial family’s proof plaque…!”

“I thought this would be possible even if you’re not a citizen of the Empire.”

“Yes, it is quite possible.”

thank god.

“So, how will the other one go?”

“How do you feel?”

I pondered for a while. Whether to tell the truth honestly or to reveal it slowly while playing the game.

“Sword expert intermediate level or higher is certain.”

It would be nice to show off your skills slowly.

At my words, the receptionist nodded and handed me the documents.

“You can write your name or any pseudonym you might use on this document.”

“yes···?”

It was strange. I just said it, but did it pass?

In this way, there was a possibility that some people cheated on their skills and became gladiators.

“Isn’t there such a thing as a skill test in the first place?”

“I don’t think the person who has the imperial family’s certification plaque would lie.”

The card Ephinia gave me was more impressive than I thought.

I entered my information in the document step by step.

And I thought about whether or not to have a pseudonym.

‘Even though I have a pseudonym…’

I didn’t want to use a common name like Hans.

I thought about what name would be good.

Suddenly, a name came to mind.

“Cassias…”

It was a name I had just come up with, but felt somehow familiar.

“Cassias would be nice.”

I chose Cassias as the pseudonym for the Colosseum. I handed over the documents to the person at the reception.

My real name was written there, Suhar, and I chose Kasyas as my pseudonym.

“If you have any questions in the future, please ask me. My name is Poltane.”

“All right.”

“When the match is decided, I will send a message to the address you wrote.”

“yes.”

After speaking, I left the Colosseum.

The outside of the Colosseum was crowded and crowded.

“Oh oh···.”

Until I entered, there were few street restaurants lined up side by side.

Apparently, they have been standing in a line like this since the end of the game.

“They just look delicious.”

I was in a state of exhaustion. I started buying food with the intention of trying all the street food.

“If there are any left over, you can take them to the inn.”

***

We arrived at the inn with an armful of food.

When I entered my room, there was a strange woman. It was easy to see who sent it.

“Are you the person sent by the first princess?”

“I came to serve Hans while he was here. He is called the Messiah.”

“is that so? For now, I would like you to call me Cassias.”

“all right.”

He might have questioned it, but he accepted it without showing any signs.

“It’s the name I’ll use at the Colosseum.”

“yes.”

Messiah’s personality felt a bit dry.

Well, it’s not me who cares about that.

“Then, I wish you well in the future.”

“I would like to ask you well, Cassias-sama.”

Life in my empire has begun.
