Living in Another World by Commissioning 〜Healing Mage’s Relaxing and Fluffy Manpower Agency〜 - CH 54.3

The wind blowing down from the high autumn sky scrapes the reddish-brown ground making clouds of dirt drift from the ground and staining my jacket.

We are currently at the place where the theater is to be built. This place is scheduled to be paved with cobblestones but there’s no sign of that yet.

After all, we are still paying for the land. In addition, it will still take some time before we can start the construction of the upper part of the building.

I guess this kind of planning was allowed because it’s my personal hobby but if I were a member of an organization, I would be fired immediately.

Well, there’s no problem for now so let’s do it patiently.

The Magical Schenker Grou’s training ground is located on the site where the theater is to be built.

And today, there is a crowd of people here.

『East! Mince’s Red Team!』

「Woooooooo!!」

「Leader!」

「Let’s do it!」

『West! Roast’s White Team!』

「Aneesannn!」

「Vice Leader!」

「Anegooo!」

Mince, a scalekin, is wearing a red headband while Roast, a fishkin, is wearing a white headband. They are standing against each other and behind them are their lined-up teammates.

Each of them is wearing easy to move clothes and had headbands wrapped around their heads.

The teams were not only made up of adventurers and security team but also clerks and salespeople. Since almost everyone from MSG was assembled, there’s an enormous number of people.

Can we handle this?

Chicken, the slave’s boss, is in the red team and Jiren, a managerial position candidate, is in the white team, but I’m a little worried.

Spectators are sitting on the seats on the sides of the training ground, which is crowded by slaves, and they are cheering and whistling at them.

These spectators were people from the city who had been invited by the players.

I thought it would be more motivating to have someone they can show off to the audience so I decided to do it this way….

It took a lot of work to store the shiitake mushroom logs in the basement just in case the spectators wandered around our land without permission.

「Ale, ale〜, snacks〜」

「Ah, two ales here please!」

「Maid!」

The audience was entertained by the vendors with ale and snacks.

Of course, they need to pay for them.

『Oath! All of us players! Pledge to beat our opponents fair and square even if we lose! We pledge to not hold a grudge!』

After the subtle and noisy oath of the players, the first event of the day, the sprint race, began.

The first event was a 50-meter race, followed by a 100-meter race, and then, a 400-meter race around the track.

The eight players lined up at the starting line, pushing and shoving each other. Their spirits are rising as the countdown before the start signal starts.

In the background, a brave tune played by the band of musicians was playing, creating a good sense of tension.

『On your marks! Three, two, one….』

Beeeepppp! A gold fluff ball jumps out among the eight players who started running as if they were pushed by the whistle.

I thought she was running on four legs as she kicked the round in a forward stance. She crossed the finish line nearly three seconds ahead of the other sprinters.

『Whooooaaaa! She has taken over everyone else! That’s Kakra from the postal team!』

She’s a catkin with loose wavy, rich blonde hair. She’s waving at the audience, smiling as she is cheered on.

-0-

In the end, Kakra snatched not only the trophy of the 50-meter race but also the 100-meter and 400-meter races with her overwhelming speed.

『Fast! She’s too fast! What kind of legs does she have!』

「She’s an idaten.」

『Idaten? What’s that?』

The announcer, the goatkin Yashimo, who is sitting next to me, has eaten my monologue.

This girl is similar to a bean sprout and you can clearly see it on her body. It’s actually quite worrying.

Still, she’s probably not fat because of her own constitution. There’s no way she’s not getting fed.

「It means she’s a very fast runner.」

『Hee…..then everyone! Let’s have a big round of applause for the red team’s idaten, Kakra!』

「Oohhhhh!」

「That’ girl’s too fast!」

『Now, the red team is one step ahead. Let’s see if the white team can pull it back in the next competition!』

「Damn it!」

「Bring it on!」

「Kakra! You’ve done well!」

「Yeah! You’re the star of the postal team!」

The white team yelled at them and the red team cheered.

As for the audience, they seem to be enjoying themselves.
