Chapter 92: 92.I-It... It's You?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Tisdale had gone back home and Mia was deep in her slumber, the most anticipated Bishoujo Grooming National Championship of the year had finally started. There were a total of twenty over contestants--- I really don't understand why suddenly there are so many people joining in? I thought it was supposed to be a game to settle the dispute among the three of them only? The rest of you are just joining in for the sake of having fun, aren't you? Only the Fairy who was just too occupied at the moment instructing her army of archers to fight with the tanks of the barbarian tribe, did not participate.
After a night of intensive grooming and training, when it was nearing dawn, it was finally the time for the Walkers to present the product of their hard labour. All of the contestants would one by one present their bishoujo to be graded by the rest of the contestants and those with high scores would be able to proceed to the next round.
The first person who presented his work was none other than the representative of the Technical Leaque--- the Blacksmith. As an iconic technical person, he had had many classical works that had been circulating among the people until present so what kind of girl would he be presenting with his unique craftsmanship? A lot of them were looking forward to it.
The moment his bishoujo stepped up onto the stage, everyone was so taken aback that no sound was made until Baiyi opened his mouth to break the deafening silence, E-Er... W-Wait a minute. Is this even a girl? Is it me or am I staring at a war tank right now?
"This is the M1 Sherman tank 1
, the ultimate hero among all of the tanks! What's the problem anyway? This tank is personally built by the bishoujo that I nurtured y'know! Oh, yeah, she's sitting inside the tank right now as we're speaking, getting ready to annihilate the enemy!" The Blacksmith announced proudly.
Well, anyone can guess what his score was. Needless to say, the Blacksmith was the first to be eliminated from the championship. Although it really did make one wonder why he would create a tank in a bishoujo grooming game... Er, could it be that I've set the degree of freedom a little too high?
After the presentation by the Blacksmith, it was the Lich's turn to come up to the stage, "Hello everybody, allow me to present my artwork today--- the Bean Sidhe! This is the beta upgraded version of my normal banshee who can cast Spiritism, Aura of Fear 2 , Soul Torturing and many more spells. Oh and when the the destruction mode is turned on... Eh? EHHHHH? What are you guys doing? I'm not done yet! Don't kick me out of the championship! Wait! At least let me finish my presentation first! AAAAHHHHHHH!!!"
Okay seriously, what is wrong with that guy? Did he think that this is a necromancy seminar or something?
"Hahahahaha! Look at those two idiots! A stupid dwarf and a foolish pile of bones! Why don't you guys have a look at my girl instead? Ta-da! This is the succubus-bishoujo that I've groomed with my own demonic hands!" The Devil introduced while showing off his girl at the same time.
The bishoujo was a very lovely succubus with a delicate young face, and along with the unique charm of her voluptuous body, she exuded a one-of-a-kind demonic charm. Coupled with the wings and tails behind her back, it somewhat added to her exotic appeal, making her appeared to be even more enticing. In between her legs was a huge piece of mosaiced stick-like item that seemed to be sticking out of her... W-Wait a minute! Why is there even a mosaiced item in between h-her... her...
"Don't you think this looks better?" The Devil smirked as he asked a simple question that seemed to devour the human soul.
Baiyi was the first one who requested for him to be kicked out of the competition, but somehow, the Walkers' opinions were not unanimous at all. Some of them even gave super high scores to that ridiculous display. Unfortunately or perhaps, fortunately , the majority were on Baiyi's side. In the end, the succubus-bishoujo was narrowly voted out.
Next, the person who walked up to the stage was the great and mighty Sage Emperor of the Magi, the Archmage! The bishoujo that he groomed was a standard cute magical girl who was dressed in a standard Rohserlian sorceress' robe. Appearance wise, there was nothing odd that stood out so let us relax and sit back while we listen to the Archmage's presentation.
"I've gotten my inspiration from some of the works from Earth and finally decided to groom her into a sorcerer that specializes in shooting and bombardment spells 3 . I've also designed a few extra powerful spells for her as well. For example, like this spell that is influenced by the MID-CHILDA System, which I upgraded to become ' QED: Ripples of 495 Years 4 '. It is an extraordinary spell that nobody else can come up with! If you use Rohserlese to chant it out loud, it will sound like this, Rleirlei plucahre... " The Archmage explained.
Oh, goodness! What the hell is with all these inspirations and references? My dear teacher, do you realize that you have offended many otakus with that girl of yours?
Not giving a care in the word, the Archmage continued calmly, "In short, I believe that this bishoujo that I've trained will be crowned the champion in this competition! If miracle has a color, then without a doubt, it must be Rohserl-color!"
JESUS! This guy is hopeless! Okay, fine! At least the girl still looks normal to me. I guess, we will allow her to enter the next round for now... Baiyi thought to himself. Many of the Walkers had the same thoughts as he did too. Who could blame them anyway? The three contestants earlier were too 'unique'!
The contestant who showed up next was a representative of the Church--- the PALADIN! The bishoujo that he brought up to the stage was a very beautiful and decent female paladin. Although she exuded a holy and pure aura, her big and beautiful eyes, however, looked kind of vacant. Not only that, she seemed to also be giving off a faint feeling of grieve and sorrowful and would you look at that expressionless face, why did she seem so lifeless? But in any case, she was still a standard female paladin, right?
Oh, this pervert finally decided to become serious now? Ah, could it be that your heart still yearns for sanctity and divinity even though you've fallen to become a hentai? Ah, how tragic that you could only now repose your spiritual faith into a game and groom such an outstanding bishoujo... Baiyi secretly thought to himself. His impression towards the Paladin had somehow improved as he gestured for him to continue with his presentation.
"Good morning everybody, this is my bishoujo that I've trained with all my heart. I've trained her to become a true paladin with traits like loyalty, perseverance, iron-willed, kind and all other good qualities that you can think of! After that, I put her through all sorts of adventures with other comrades where she was praised and she earned the friendships from the people around her. Nonetheless, one time, she accidentally fell into a goblin's trap so.. . Sigh! And finally when she escaped, she crossed the orc's lair by accident and so she was captured again. Once again, she managed to escape but when she returned... URGHHH! " Before Paladin could finish his sentence, Baiyi had already cast a Silence Spell on him. Not only that, as the administrator of the game, Baiyi disqualified his 'work of art' immediately without a second thought.
Tsk! No wonder she has that expression on her face! She must have been violated by the goblins right? I'm sure this guy must have repeatedly let his bishoujo walked near to the goblins' dens all night! Same thing goes with the orc's lair, right? Urghh, how disgusting! Would you look at that poor girl? Her soul's practically dead!
After the Paladin and his bishoujo were kicked out from the game, the Soul Armature Practitioner was the next one to go on stage. The girl that he groomed was an orc girl who had a pair of cat ears, claws and even a long bushy tail. From his introduction, it could be seen that the girl was able to do a lot of moves, like body slam or tailwhip and she could even evolve?
W-Wait a minute! Why does it sound so weird yet familiar?
After a long thought, Baiyi decided to shake his head signalling that he did not make it into the next round.
Disappointed, the Soul Armatured Practitioner sighed and said in a regretful tone, "Sigh, alright. I'll come again next year. Come back, Purcatty~" With that, he took out a red ball that absorbed the girl into it before leaving the stage dejectedly.
Something is a little off here…
The next person presenting was the Astrologer. The moment Baiyi laid his eyes on the bishoujo, he immediately disqualified and cast a Silence Spell on the Astrologer before he could even step on to the stage. PLEASE! Astrologer! Next time, could you at least take that two tentacles out of her mouth first before you come on stage? And please clean up those weird disgusting white slime on her body too!
As for the rest of the contestants, there was no need to introduce them one by one anymore as the rests of the bishoujos were relatively normal. Like the girl that was groomed by the Caveman--- she was an ordinary cavegirl with an average look. Although she failed to enter the finals with her average appearance, the caveman accepted the result calmly and even thanked Baiyi for giving him the opportunity. It turned out that the girl was in fact made out from the image of his daughter and through the game, he managed to relive the warm and happy days of his past life.
Perhaps, that was the main reason he participated in the game in the first place...
After a few more rounds and the Engineer's bishoujo was eliminated, the rests of the contestants--- the Archmage, the Scholar and the Sorcerer--- managed to make into the next round along with the Thane, the Warrior and the Assassin.
Some of the contestants did not even have the chance the present the results of their labor. For example, halfway through the game, Alchemist's bishoujo accidentally blasted herself into pieces in an experiment that went horribly wrong. Oh, and the Bard's bishoujo was poisoned by a love rival for being too flirty with every guy that she laid eyes on and as for the Explorer's, well, she fell into a trap and got killed in the midst of robbing a grave.
"Can you please add a 'Save' and 'Read' function next time?" Those three people asked Baiyi in unison.
Oh, should I add 'In-app purchase' function for you as well?
After the Top 6 players were short-listed, in accordance to the rules previously set by the Walkers, the six girls began to engage in a battle.
Out of the six of them, the Thane's girl was the first one to be eliminated. In the game, he had stayed true to his usual Thane-style and developed a commander-type girl who could lead her troop to a war and even configure an armor that was of the highest level but unfortunately, her real strength was not actually that powerful and because it was a one-on-one battle, she was not allowed to bring her troops into the battle. Under such circumstances, she was easily defeated by the Scholar's bishoujo.
The Sorcerer was the next person to be kicked out from the game. Based on his own experience, he cultivated a Moro-Battlemage but sadly, his opponent was the Warrior so after just one fierce round of battle, his girl was completely knocked out by her bishoujo.
The next round was between the Assassin and the Archmage. The Assassin had trained her girl to become an outstanding and qualified assassin to the point that she even obtained the title 'The Ripper' in the game. Regrettably, she came face to face with the Archmage who was exceptionally skilled in dealing with assassins so in just a short while, her bishoujo had fallen deep into the few simple traps that was set up by the Archmage's girl. With no other option, she chose to lift her hands up in surrender.
Finally, it was the time for the big finale! The champion would be decided by having all three finalist in the ring together, where they would fight each other battle royal-style and the last man, or more aptly girl, standing would be the winner. Out of the three final contestants--- the Scholar, the Warrior and the Archmage--- two of them were actually female. Looked like females in fact do have a natural advantage when it comes to nurturing, right?
After a long while, the champion had finally been decided! Could anyone guess who the champion was? Drum rolls please! That's right! It was no other than the... THE WARRIOR! The bishoujo that she had nurtured was slightly different from her usual style but in the end, she turned out to be equally as strong as the Warrior was in real life. Finally, with her vigilance and attentiveness especially on small details, she defeated her two rivals and won the championship that lasted all night!
Somehow, it looked like the Warrior could be a great mother too, huh?
