The Referees and Spectators Are All on My Side / "Heartwarming" Daily Life
But even under these circumstances, Suika was able to sit in the VIP section.
"Ahem, it's just a VIP ticket I got by chance."
"And it was luck that you didn't make it. Yesterday... something happened in the VIP section. Although you couldn't see it from the outside, we were locked up inside all day and weren't released until the very end of the match."
Suika nodded to Tony and his wife as they entered before speaking.
Didn't you guys go to watch the game today?
"No, we watched the morning game and just came out for a stroll in the afternoon."
After all, sitting for a long time not only makes your butt hurt, but watching such a long game will also make you tired.
Kawaleriel isn't just about Knight's Tournament; its business is thriving.
Aside from Trintelmere, this is the first time I've seen such a prosperous city; even Siesta's music festival at its peak pales in comparison.
Tony exclaimed.
This is quite normal, after all, the Knight's Tournament in Kazimierz is promoted nationwide and spread throughout Terra, and the organization and preparations are equivalent to the efforts of the entire nation.
Even the largest music festival in Siesta is still just the energy of the city of Siesta. The fact that it only falls short of the Knight's Tournament by two points already shows that Siesta's events are quite successful.
"Suika, you didn't go to watch the game either!" Tony looked at Suika.
"I was tired of watching, so I came out for a stroll."
Just like you said, Kawaleriel isn't just about Knight's Tournament...
After saying that, Suika and Tony laughed at the same time.
Since she figured she was just wandering around anyway, and might as well go with someone she knew and chat along the way, Suika joined their shopping group instead of wandering aimlessly alone.
"Slow down, there are a lot of people here!"
In the lively environment, Winnie was much more energetic than before. She ran ahead by herself, acting as the trailblazer for the group.
Suddenly, a figure came running towards her, and Winnie was about to collide with it before she could dodge.
Faced with a figure as tall as her father, Winnie's eyes flashed with panic.
"Thump!" Winnie, who had closed her eyes and was waiting for the impact, did not feel the pain of being thrown back, but instead heard a dull thud from ahead.
She opened her eyes with a mixture of confusion and caution, only to see that Suika had somehow appeared in front of her, and the person who had almost bumped into her was lying on the ground not far away, glaring angrily at Suika.
"You little beast, don't you have eyes? You little beast, how dare you bump into me!" As soon as the man spoke, the people around him frowned.
After all, it's rare to see someone spewing such filth.
The key point is that many people saw it; he was the one who hit the little girl, but she was blocked by another, slightly older child.
Otherwise, given his size, if he bumped into that child, he would have suffered a concussion at least.
The man remained unfazed by the accusing stares of those around him.
"What are you looking at? Believe me or not, I'll gouge your eyes out!"
After cursing the people pointing and whispering at him from a distance, he looked at Suika and her group. Seeing that they were all dressed in expensive clothes, his eyes lit up.
"You lot, you've hit me, you have to pay for everything: medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress damages, and the clothes that got scratched on the ground, plus compensation for the damaged clothes. It's five thousand Mark in total, not a penny less!"
Hearing the other party's words, Suika snorted coldly. This guy actually dared to extort her; did he really not know how painful it was to be punched in the face by a fist the size of a sandbag?
Before the man could react, he felt a tremendous force in his chest, and then he was sent flying backward, sliding several meters on the ground before coming to a stop.
"Money, you can have it... but you must have wounds that match its value!"
Suika deeply despises extortion, had no intention of giving him a hard time and directly kicked the man until he was stunned.
People around noticed something amusing and turned to look.
Seeing the man lying on the ground clutching his chest, Tony and his family quickly pulled Suika away.
"Ms. Suika, let me handle this matter. After all, we are all tourists. At this sensitive time, it would be bad for the reputation to get out if we openly attacked and injured someone in the city."
The man looked at Suika with a face full of fear.
He hadn't expected the other party to be such an unreasonable person. This was during such a big event as the Kawaleriel Knight's Tournament, and she dared to injure someone in the street without any scruples.
Moreover, he couldn't see a trace of remorse in the other person's eyes, only ferocity and murderous intent.
As someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong, he truly chickened out at this moment.
"What's going on? What are you all doing gathered around here?" Just then, a voice came from outside the crowd.
Chapter 252 The Referees and Audience Are All My People
"Oh my god, help! Help! Murder!"
One second the man looked like he was about to run away from something bad, but the next second he lay down on the ground and shouted with great energy.
Hearing his shout, everyone couldn't help but frown.
Several police officers walked in from outside. When they saw the man lying on the ground, they turned to look in the other direction and their hearts tightened.
"What's going on?" He looked at the man again, his tone clearly reprimanding.
However, the man, perhaps overjoyed at the arrival of the police, completely failed to notice the unusual tone in their voice. Instead, he pointed at Suika and urged her on.
"Officer, it's her, the Elafia woman with long horns."
I was an innocent passerby walking down the street when she suddenly attacked me, knocking me to the ground.
They wouldn't stop there and attacked me again.
If her companion hadn't held her back, I would have been beaten to death by her...
Officer, you must get justice for me...
Faced with the accusation, Suika looked at Winnie beside her.
Have you ever seen a circus?
Winnie looked at Suika with a puzzled expression, but still answered.
"Yes, I've seen it. Circuses often pass by our area, and my father would hire one to perform at the estate every year during festivals..."
Suika pointed at the person on the ground and said with a mocking expression.
"Look at him, doesn't he look like a clown from a circus?"
Winnie didn't react at first, but the people around her burst into laughter when they heard Suika's words and looked at the man. His arrogant and obsequious behavior, his bullying and bullying, and his charlatan-like demeanor were indeed very much like a clown.
"You, you, you... Officer, look, that criminal dares to challenge your authority... Arrest them, arrest them all!"
The man screamed in exasperation.
"Shut up!" the policeman snapped at him before approaching.
After scanning the group, he looked at the "prime suspect," Suika, and bent down slightly.
"Madam, could you please recount what exactly happened?"
Upon hearing the police officer's words, the man was instantly dumbfounded.
He never expected that the policeman, who had just been so rude to him, would speak to the girl in such a humble tone. For a moment, he had a bad feeling.
Suika ignored him and looked at the approaching police officer.
The reason she was so confident was that she recognized the policeman who had been following Poirot yesterday, and the way he looked at her when he saw her clearly indicated that he recognized her as well.
That's why she was so calm.
"Aren't you from the Major Crimes Unit? What are you doing here today..." Suika looked around, her meaning clear: why was someone from the Major Crimes Unit acting as a neighborhood police officer today?
Upon hearing Suika's words, a bitter smile appeared on the man's face.
"Thank you for your concern, madam. Yesterday's events greatly displeased the higher-ups, and we were punished by serving as local police officers in Kawaleriel during the Knight's Tournament period."
Being assigned to the lowest-ranking beat cop in the Major Crimes Unit, the most elite team in the police department, naturally put him in a bad mood.
Even though he was in a bad mood, his eyesight was still sharp. Even without listening to Suika's explanation, he could tell from the attitudes of the people around him that the man lying on the ground was no good.
After all, the public's sense of right and wrong is generally simple, and ordinary onlookers would not be so biased towards one side as they are now.
If this happens, it means that, at least in the facts seen by most people, the side that is being favored has made far fewer mistakes.
That's why he was so rude when the man was causing trouble.
At this moment, seeing his "savior" and "support" chatting enthusiastically with his enemy, the man knew what it meant to sense that things were going badly.
He subtly shifted his body, preparing to find an opportunity to escape, but he didn't expect that Suika was watching him the whole time.
"Hey buddy on the ground, if you keep rubbing yourself on the ground, I won't be responsible for the damage to your clothes."
As Suika spoke in a flippant tone, the police officer turned to look at the man who was about to move to the edge of the crowd.
Upon hearing that he had been discovered, the man jumped up and turned to try and escape into the crowd.
But unexpectedly, he felt another heavy force behind him, and then he fell to the ground upside down.
"Sir, I am now arresting you on two charges: disturbing the peace and endangering public safety. You have the right to defend yourself, but everything you say can and will be used against you in court."
Suika looked at the policeman. It was obvious that he had practiced or had the help of props. Otherwise, even a normal person in Terra would have a hard time crossing the five or six meters in an instant to successfully subdue a criminal.
After handcuffing the man and handing him to another police officer, he walked up to Suika.
"Dear Madam, I need to obtain a copy of your statement. I hope you don't mind."
Suika gently patted Winnie's head.
"No problem!"
Then he recounted the cause and course of events.
Finally, when he gave his address, the policeman looked surprised.
I felt somewhat relieved.
As a native of Kawaleriel, he naturally knew that those who could stay there were either VIPs or members of the most prestigious families.
Ordinary people would back down when they hear the price.
Given that she was able to stay in a VIP room all by herself yesterday, he figured that Suika was probably some kind of princess from a small country invited by the Commercial Union.
So, after reflecting on whether he had offended this girl named Ibuki Suika, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I never expected you to stay at that hotel..."
When we arrived, the Commercial Union members said that the hotel was the best and the most expensive.
Unless you book in advance, it's very difficult to find a seat.
Tony looked at Suika with some emotion. He wasn't worried at all about whether Suika had the money to stay, since he had given her a large sum of money.
"Haha, maybe it was just luck. Maybe someone was checking out when I went, and I got a bargain!"
Suika answered with a smile.
"I never expected to encounter such a rogue. I thought you would pay money to avoid trouble."
After all, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake; these kinds of petty thugs who look like they have nothing better to do are the most troublesome."
Tony sighed as he watched the man being carried away.
"It's different. I can buy a loaf of bread for 500,000 Mark, but I'm not willing to give this piece of trash 5,000 Mark to let him get away with it."
Suika shook her head, indicating that she was the type of person who would only respond to gentle persuasion, and that she was already being quite tactful by not beating such a conman half to death.
"Haha, that's an interesting analogy. Five hundred thousand Mark for a loaf of bread... If prices really went that way, things would probably be in chaos by now..." Tony chuckled, teasing Suika's analogy.
Chapter 253 "Warm" Daily Life
The incident didn't dampen their spirits for shopping, but considering the large crowd, it wasn't safe for Winnie to be out alone, so she was asked to stay with her brother Anthony.
Although she was very unhappy with the request, Winnie knew that if it weren't for her fault, that wouldn't have happened, so she obediently held her brother's hand.
"Sister Suika, if I become as strong as you, will I be able to knock anyone who tries to scare me away?" Winnie suddenly asked Suika.
"Winnie, there's something you need to know."
Power may be mighty, but we cannot use that power arbitrarily.
Like me, in my original intention, my fists were used to make those who didn't want to listen to me sit down and listen.
Of course, not everyone in this world deserves to listen to me speak properly.
"Anyone like that would be better off just swatting them away."
