chapter 21
21 – New Gladiator-7
“I’m here, sister!”
Returning from her vacation, the gladiator smiled and greeted the gladiator she knew.
“It’s been a while! Heh, it’s a pity you. Missed a good sight.”
“What are you missing? You went outside to see your mother, and you did everything you had to do?”
“There’s something like that, you bastard.”
Her newly returned gladiator protested against her, but her gladiator who remained in her colosseum smiled strangely at her and took pity on her.
“What happened while I was gone?”
“With your bare mouth? Hey, if you’re on vacation, bring me at least one present. I’m bored with my mouth.”
“They’ll serve you well here, but what’s with your mouth being boring…”
The gladiator brought out some sweets from her hometown.
“This, my mom made it herself? I’ll give you just one, so should I eat sparingly?”
“Well, this is enough. So, what’s going on…”
One of the veteran gladiators who was watching the scene intervened.
“Hey. I know you guys are close, but don’t tear open the cookies with useless things.”
“Ah, this is fine!”
The gladiator who remained in the Colosseum protested, but the senior gladiator ignored her and spoke to the gladiator next to her.
“Did you just come back from vacation? You might not know… Did you see the banner in front of the Colosseum?”
“Oh, I’ve seen it, but it hasn’t been opened yet…”
“I guess so. To explain, the… Man came in.”
“Man? Did Mr. Daisy sell this Colosseum?”
Returning from vacation, the gladiator looked at the veteran gladiator with her complexion pale.
The person who brought this Colosseum back to this point was, after all, Daisy. I don’t know what happened, but I couldn’t be happy with a sudden change.
You could ask for a fight that was ‘not uncomfortable for a man to see’, and you might not be interested in the welfare or life of gladiators.
“No, I came in as a gladiator.”
“Yes? No, what is that…”
Returning from her vacation, the gladiator let out a silly laugh, as if finally realizing that she was playing her joke.
“No, what if even her sister made a joke!”
“I’m serious.”
“Oh, I’m not fooled. Who did you bet with?”
Unbelievable. For a man to become a gladiator, it was unrealistic.
“That’s why I’m putting up a banner right now. It’s promoting it.”
“Don’t joke.”
“If you don’t believe me, go to the training room now. I’m sure you’re just training.”
“…Seriously, if you’re kidding, I’ll get mad.”
Her gladiator, who first greeted her, addressed her cautiously to her gladiator returning from her rest.
“By the way, those cookies look delicious. Can’t you just give me one?”
“Eat it! We brought it to eat together anyway.”
The gladiator who threw a cookie from the bag approached the training room with a lot of suspicion.
“…Ah?”
The atmosphere is different. It’s strangely passionate, and it doesn’t look like it’s tired.
Everyone was working hard. And, I was watching someone’s eyes.
Following that line of sight, a man was lifting a weight with both hands.
The strong man’s arm muscles swell tautly. In a stimulating situation he had never seen before, the gladiator involuntarily shut his mouth.
“Whoa…”
As if it wasn’t easy, the man let out a rough moan. All the gladiators who heard that sound flinched, ‘Did you hear it too?’ Share the eyes of
It is a weight that even young and strong gladiators find it difficult to lift. I thought it was nonsense for a man to lift it, but at least right now, what she sees is the reality.
“Wow…”
Muscular men were no different from the s*xual fantasies of many women.
Unlike modern men who are strict in judging the value of people and who can barely meet upper-class women by bowing down as if praying, there was a perception that a man like ‘ancient man’ would be able to easily meet even an ordinary woman.
It was an unrealistic delusion, but in the first place a man with a body like an ancient man was not only unrealistic, but a man with such a mindset did not exist.
Originally, delusions are attached to delusions. No one will sympathize with the delusion of ‘rabbit breathes fire!’ I will think and say.
However, right now, in front of her, a fire-breathing red dragon was training her physical strength. Right away, using the same equipment and in the same posture she used before going on her vacation.
His face is also handsome. Maybe she felt that way because she had no one to compare her to, but at least in her eyes, he was – obviously – better than any man she had ever seen.
Besides, it was sincere. With the weight that a child would have done, they clattered and said, ‘This is easy enough!’ I didn’t grab the exercise equipment to mock them.
I can’t say it’s perfect, but it was a pretty good posture. The sweat dripping from his forehead showed that he was sincere.
“Sir, could it be that it was real?”
Surprised, the gladiator unwittingly let her thoughts out of her mouth. However, it seemed that no one was listening to her words.
Soon, the gladiator became one of them. He pretends to exercise cautiously, becoming one of those who stare at the man’s figure.

“No, what the hell is that outside?”
On the banner spread wide at the entrance of the Colosseum, a silhouette of me dressed in armor was drawn.
There is talk that something great is coming, but there has been little proper information. It was just full of stories that something great was coming.
“It’s an advertisement. I had the idea that I should try something like this someday… But it’s the first time I’m actually trying it.”
Daisy gave a bright smile as if nothing was wrong.
“I don’t think I’ll be worth it…”
Actually, I did know to some extent. Because when Daisy took the risk and accepted me, I was thinking that he was looking for the buzz and money that a man would bring me.
“Actually, even this is not enough. Not another person, but Evan-sama? Actually, even this is not enough.”
“It was true. The fact that I was a man was also very vague…”
Actually, what I was most curious about was that.
Since I called a man, I naturally thought that I would take that as a selling point, but it wasn’t revealed so blatantly.
“There are still a few medications on Ethics… Actually, it’s more effective to become a hot topic.”
“What’s the topic?”
“Outside, I’m fighting over this ad. Actually, it’s not once or twice that I… Spread information that people could ‘misunderstand’.”
“Ah…”
“However, I can use that distrust now. Controversy is interest, and interest, if used well, brings in a lot of money.”
However, it was not easy to understand. As I looked at her with her bewildered face, Daisy smiled at her.
“Now people are trying to figure out the truth. ‘Could a man participate in a sword fight?’ By saying the same thing, you are inciting a fight.”
“Eh.”
“Where do they get their information from? We gladiators. We’ve already given them different instructions.”
“You mean the instructions?”
“Some would say, ‘It’s true that men compete.’ Someone said, ‘No, it’s just a new gladiator who pretends to be a man to the point of close.'”
This man was a businessman. I forgot for a while.
“That, public opinion…”
“You’re smart. Ugh, if it were a woman, I would have accepted you as an employee right away. Anyway, that’s right. You’re spreading wrong but random information that ‘one gladiator might think so’, intensifying the controversy.”
“You’re amazing.”
“Really, information about male gladiators appearing will only be distributed three days before the start of the gladiator fight. Before the shock wears off, we have to show the real thing.”
“I have to work hard. I must win somehow.”
It seemed that I would not be able to raise my face in front of the audience if I had been so excited and even lost.
“It may make you feel a bit uncomfortable when I say this, but… Actually, there’s no need to do that. Although it’s a story telling you not to be pressured.”
“Yes?”
“As I said before, it’s a story that has nothing to do with winning or losing. Just because a man comes out to the arena and swings a sword, countless women will come to see you.”
But, it was just cheerleading. I wanted to be a gladiator, not an actor.
“Sadly, there won’t be many people who expect more than that. Well, other gladiators have seen Evan’s body to some extent, so it seems that the story has changed.”
Certainly, I felt that the way people looked at me changed a little after the ‘measurement of fitness’.
In the eyes that worried that I might get hurt, I thought, ‘So how strong will he be when he comes out of the ring?’ With eyes full of doubt.
Well, besides that, something sticky and dirty looks were mixed with it, no, it seemed to occupy most of it, but it wasn’t to the extent that it interfered with training.
However, after hearing Daisy’s story, it seemed that that was not enough.
“Then, of course, I’ll have to work harder.”
Because I will have to prove to everyone that I entered this Colosseum as a gladiator.
