Chapter 105: The 2nd Fall Festival Tournament (Part 0)? by Harem-Fan
Just as we made it back from the Tipsy Gentlewoman.
Zoe buckled up my pants after she had her fill of dessert.
She then stood and said with a blush.
"My Master, your stress has been released, haha. We are now home. lets go..."
I stood to exit the carriage that parked in front of my parents home.
No matter how hard my other lovers try, none can outdo Zoe's blowjobs, and she knows it.
-
Entering the small manor, I saw the living-room filled with family still up at this late time of 10 pm.
"Husband, I missed you!"
A black haired beauty in a Military uniform, ran into my arms. As I caught Mari in an embrace, her plump chest squeezed tight into mine, as she pulled my head to hers and kissed me. Mari's blue eyes were moist with happy tears, as she held me tight.
It had been over a month since I saw her, due to being in her boot-camp training.
Mari did not let me go, but pulled me into the area with four couches facing one another in a square shape.
I admired the differences between the Army outfit vs the Rosecrans uniform...
-
Unlike the shorter skirt that goes above the boot, the bottom of the dress has high slits going to the upper thigh, where the Rosecrans dress stopped, and the bottom of the dress front and back went down to just below the knee.
This is actually more mature looking than the youthful Rosecrans look.
The other difference is that instead of a shoulderless military top of the dress, it is actually long-sleeved, exposing the hands without gloves.
The colors are still the same, with black thigh-high boots and belt.
The addition to the outfit would be the military medals on the left chest, to denote rank and achievements.
All Army Mages have a special medal with their Element type proudly displayed, and Mari's is a sapphire gem surrounded by gold to designate she is a Royal Officer with gold, and the sapphire is for water.
The cloak is still royal blue but there is a clasp around the neck with the officer-designation for the Mage to show civilians they work for the Kingdom.

As I sat between Rebeca and Mari, I noticed that Karl and Rick are in bed, and Kelly is missing.
Dial, Kim, Kayo, Zoe, Mom, Dad, and Freya are the only other ones here.
Kim, seeing me look around, said to assure me.
"Kelly had put Karl to bed earlier, and now she is feeding a bottle to and watching Richard, Dear."
As I nodded, my Father, who was drinking a beer, said while holding Mom in his arms.

"Son, I and your Mother had already visited the Royal Castle, and we had a talk with the King... Both your Mother and I have been promoted to the Count and Countess Rank due to you. I will be transferred South to lead a border County under our Roland name."
While holding both women in my arms, I asked him.
"Dad, what exactly did the King tell you? And I thought your rank was not going to be given early?"
"Son, our chat with the King was made confidential, and we are forbidden to even tell you until after the Tournament. Sorry, but it is not a bad thing actually, hehe."
While my Dad looks like he sold me out, which he actually did by letting me get adopted, but my gut tells me he did something I will regret.
My Mother however, only smiled at me, like when I told her Rebeca was pregnant, and she said.
"Son, do not worry, even if you get adopted, you will still be our Son. The King just likes you too much, but we agree with his views on you. And do not worry about your last name changing, because Rick and Karl will carry the Rolland name for our family, haha."
Rebeca on my left, patted my chest and said.
"Stop worrying about it, just focus on the Tournament and win... Oh, And how did the meeting at the restaurant go?"
So under the dual pressure of Mari and Rebeca's large assets, I told the story of the dinner, without mentioning the sexual-advances of the Mother and Daughter... I will never admit to that!
-
The weekend went by in a blur. I spent time with the family, and made love to my wives, and went out on some dates.
The City was bustling with many out of town visitors, and the stadium tickets were even more sold out than last year.
With my participation, many foreign guests of merchant houses have come, with good and bad intentions. The Ambassadors were all busy with delegates, including a couple Generals of the West Kingdom, who kindly delivered mail from Daniella and Dream to me.
Mari, whose Olson Family owned the arena, reserved 2 internal VIP rooms with arena-projectors, like when I first met her, under the arena. My family will use one all week, as it has guest-rooms for them to stay, and will not have to travel all week.
I was given the second room as my exclusive VIP room.
-
Monday morning, Grand City Arena...
The large arena, which seats 10,000 viewers, was a nostalgic sight for me. The last time I had been here, I stood on the stage, and proclaimed that Vera Lucas was free to love and marry who she wanted.
All my family was inside the VIP room, and I was alone in the student seating area, remembering last year's event.
Soon, a person walked to my side, and the sun was blocked... Although the morning sun was not warm, the loss of it due to the person affected my thoughts.
When I looked up to see who had come, I was stunned. The person I had been thinking of came.
Vera stood without her summons, and looked down at me.
"Hello Princess..."
Hearing my respectful call, Vera felt complicated, and said.
"I do not hate you. I am just mad at the situation, Sam..."
I can tell this is the closest to a 'sorry' Vera can give, and I said.
"Vera... I am sorry things turned out this way... I have just loved more than I should, and naturally, you are mad at me... But I do not regret my love..."
Vera, clutching a letter in her cloak, asked me.
"Sam... Have you ever fallen in love with me before?"
I looked to my right, with Vera sitting two spaces away, not looking at me, but at the place I looked before, and I said honestly.
"Yeah... That is why I could not tell it during that [Reveal] game we played."
Vera never looked at me, and said nothing for almost two minutes... Then she said to me,
"Sam Roland, I will really defeat you this time, because Zoe cannot fight, and Freya is no match for Plume, my Archangel. I will not let you become my younger Brother. Understand?"
At that moment, I did not understand... Her words had a "meaning" in them that I was unaware of at this time, and I ignorantly said.
"Sorry, Vera, but your Father has put his hopes in me, and for the Kingdom, I will beat you, even without Zoe."
Vera with her proud figure, that has matured more in the last year, stood.
"You are ignorant Sam, for I have already won... You have exposed your weakness now, and you will find that I am a Devious Woman, and will suppress you. Enjoy your freedom now, for I will win in the end..."
She then had a predatory look, turned and left me messy in the wind...
I could tell her confidence was back, and she has chosen her path. But just like last year, I will not hold back and win.
-
An hour later, with the stadium fully crowded, the event everyone was anticipating began...
Floating high in the air, as a match-up board, powered with magic, and as noon approaches, match-ups are being generated...
I clutched the red participant token in my hand... [Red 2-74]
Kim sat next to me, looked at her number, and said to me,
"Husband, it has been 20 years since the last time I participated. I am a bit nervous... I do not want to let you or Karl down."
I held her hand, and told her how I felt.
"Even if you forfeit on the first match, I will love you no matter what. This Tournament matters not in my heart... Just do your best, and be safe. Karl doesn't care if you win or lose, just smile and do not be afraid. I love you Kim."
Just then, the matches for the first turn came, and Nevin tapped my shoulder.
"Sam, you're up first, go kick some ass."
[Ring 2: Red 2-43 vs Red 2-74]
Then the announcer read out the rules for the crowd and participants...
-
[Over on the center platform is the overseeing 8th Circle Time Healer who is responsible for preventing deaths from participants and Summons. So contestants, do not hold back your power, and fight to the end. The arena barriers can even block normal 9th Circle attacks, so any area effects without fear of harming the guests.]
[Teleportation in or out of the barriers is an automatic loss, but within the arena is fine, so do not leave unless you give up.]
[Only Defensive magic-items and 1 weapon are allowed.]
[Participants may stop the fight and forfeit at any time. There is a 10 minute time limit, and a draw is a double loss, but the judges will determine a winner via a vote. Unconsciousness is a loss, not including Summoned Monsters.]
-
Freya stayed in the VIP room, and will only show up if I have to fight a real challenge, because my increased strength is equal to the best 3rd year students.
Yeah, I just recently had a breakthrough to the 6th Circle of Summoner, but I am still stuck as a 5th Circle Knight. So other than a new spell to use as a trump card, I am just fighting as a Mage Knight.
As I held Windstorm in my left hand sheathed, I climbed the steps to the 2nd Stage. And when I saw my opponent, we both had resigned smiles...
When both participants came on stage, and the barriers went up, one of the 8 arena's sounds can be magnified for the whole stadium, and naturally they picked ours again.
My opponent and I didn't talk, for we did not need to.
As everyone was ready, the announcer said...
[All Rings start in 3-2-1-Go~!]
