Chapter 478: First Sanctuary Bowling Tournament

The day of the First Sanctuary Bowling Tournament has finally arrived.

There were plenty of participants so preliminaries were being held, until the participants can be filtered down to a specific number of people.

Even so, there were many participants, so I ended up needing to expand the bowling alley and add more lanes because Akane and, for some reason, Gnome said so.

The lanes already doubled to 20, but Gnome still complained that those werent enough. Just how addicted is he?

In the preliminary rounds which started early in the morning, the participating Sanctuary residents were throwing balls towards the pins using perfect form right in front of me.

Hey, Sophia. Everyone seems way too good somehow?

Everyone comes to the bowling alley when they have time, after all.

S-so it was like that

Right before me, Doganbo-san was throwing the ball with a beautiful form.

He was a short-limbed beer barrel-bodied dwarf, yet it was amazing how he could achieve a very beautiful form without discomfort. Moreover, he had power so the momentum of the pins falling was impressive. That didnt mean it was all brute force, I could tell that he emphasized on control with a hook ball.

Hey, could it be that Doganbo-sans ball is his own ball?

The Dwarves have all made their own bowling balls. They demanded the materials from Laeva.

It would seem the Dwarves bowling balls were their own works. Laeva was being coerced by several other people, and it was apparently difficult to make a large quantity of balls.

It was difficult because of how detailed the requests were for their balance and weight.

T-that sounds like a lot of work.

It might be better to have various selections. I dont mind everyone going nuts over bowling, but it would also be ideal to have some diversity, not just in sports.

The people of this world dont have the time or luxury to spare on basic pleasures. Inevitable because they were desperate just to stay alive everyday.

However, this Sanctuary slightly different. First of all, there is no concern over daily necessities. They could choose their job, and theres no threat from monsters, so they can afford to live better.

The lives of the citizens of Valkyra Kingdom, Lomaria Kingdom, and even Yggurle Kingdom were starting to improve, so beginning with bowling, but maybe I can take all sorts of suggestions, starting with bowling.

Twenty people, one for each lane, were selected in the preliminaries.

Among them, I could see Akane and Lulu-chan who were practicing whenever they have free time were a given, Sophia, Marnie, and Kaede.

Perhaps because they didnt have much time to practice, Maria and Laeva fell through during the qualifiers.

Me? Of course I didnt qualify either.

The others were the Great Spirit who got into bowling, Gnome and Undine. From the Dwarves, Doganbo-san and Golan-san passed.

And surprisingly, the Cat Sith sisters Miri and Lala also got through. Unlike other people, theyre small so they cant throw normal balls. It takes them all their might to hold the ball with both hands and make it roll around

Heave ho, heave ho, EY!

Goro goro goro kote, pata, patapata pata.

Yay! Another strike nya!

Oneechan, youre amazing!

The people throwing balls to the left and right of that lane were dumbfounded at the sight of the feebly rolling ball toppling all ten pins.

I understand how that feels. I, who failed to qualify, am far below Miri and Lala.

The main event was a competition of the sum of scores in two games.

I know that everyone scored over 200 in the preliminary round, so everyone who moved onto the main event were staggeringly skillful.

You did it!

Kuh! How!? Why cant I win!?

Gnome crumbled beside a cheery Undine.

The result of the main event, the overall victor was Undine.

Second place was Sophia. She really has amazing athletic abilities.

And, who would have thought, third place was the Cat Sith Miri.

Fourth placer Gnome, who lost to the slow-rolling ball, was being consoled by the sixth placer Doganbo-san and eighth placer Golan-san.

Akane who finished in fifth place and Kaede who finished in seventh place happy accepted medals corresponding to their places, perhaps because they were satisfied with their scores.

And the champion Undines wish was

Could I make more springs in the meadow zone in the east?

Eh? Youre satisfied with that?

Yes, my familial (Water) Spirits have told me before. That they want more watering holes.

Well, if thats what you want then I dont mind, but dont get too close to the roads.

Yeah, dont worry, Ill make them out of the way.

Undines wish was unexpected, so I tried asking Sophia, who was in second place, if she had a wish.

u-umm, h how about we have a date, Takumi-sama?

A d-date, I-I dont mind, but youre okay with that?

Yes! Thank you very much!

Sophia always accompanied me as my guard, so I thought its kind of like were always dating, but I probably shouldnt say that.

Then Miri, is there anything you want?

U-um, Miri and the others want clothes nya.

Clothes, huh right, youre a girl, so you would like to be fashionable. Okay, how about we go buy clothes at the royal capital?

Our clothes were made from Kaedes threads, and the designs were left to Kaede and Maria, but the Sanctuary residents make their own clothes using the cloths procured by the Papeck Company. The children wore the clothes made by adults, but they were basically built for function, not form.

Takumi, leave it to Maria and I. Well shop with all our might in the Royal Capital.

Yes! Its not just Miri and Lala, lets take this opportunity to also buy some for Sara, Colette, Shirona, Melanie, and Malorie.

Akane and Maria said to leave it to them, so I, unfamiliar with fashion, decided to leave it all to them.

Akane and Maria will take the children to the Royal Capital. Well, Ill be dropping them off and picking them back up though.

The members were Akane, Maria, Marnie, Lulu-chan, Miri and Lalas mother Poporo-san, the Elves Melanie and Malories mother Melty-san, as well as the children.

Theres a lot of you so you guys need an escort.

Takumi, Golan-aniki and I will be their escorts. Thats why you should invest some of the harvested rice for alcohol.

Just when I thought they needed an escort because of the large number of people, Doganbo-san raised his hand up, and in return he wanted me to be a bit more lax on rice.

At present, were the ones who want to eat rice the most, so it should be fine as long as its just a bit.

Understood. Then well send some your way this autumn harvest.

Ohh! thats a big help.

Master, Kaede is also coming so itll be fine

Kaede, make sure you arent seen..

Kaaaaay!

If Kaedes coming too, then danger was very unlikely.

And so, the first ever Sanctuary Bowling Tournament quietly came to a close.

That had become a very exciting event.

Still, I didnt think I would be tormented in various ways because of how exciting this bowling tournament.
