C499: Women’s Battle: First Half

“It looks like it’s starting.”

Father said happily, as if he was looking forward to it.

Leronde, the host, began to explain the event.

“The Miss Beauty Pageant contestants will now appear one by one and promote themselves. After watching them, 10 members of the judging panel will score them on a 10-point scale, and the woman with the highest score will receive the honor of being the first Miss Iron Knights!”

Sounds orthodox to me. I don’t know what promoting themselves means, but I’m kind of looking forward to it anyway.

“Let’s have the first one appear! A beautiful butterfly flying around the battlefield, even the magic machine she manipulates oozes beauty, the miraculous gladiator queen, Alana!

As soon as Alana is introduced light and hop music starts playing. Then, from the gate behind the host Alana appears, dressed in a swimsuit with little material.

Alana raised her right hand in greeting to the crowd and the jury, then walked slowly on stage so that her body could be seen clearly. She stopped from time to time to strike a pose that emphasized her ample breasts, and the crowd went “ooh” and “ahh” as she showed off her body.

“This is so much fun, it’s quite a feast for the eyes.”

“I agree…….”

While father and I were gawking at Aluna’s swimsuit, Nagisa gave us a strong elbow strike.

“Ggh!”

“Where are you looking, you disgusting!”

“I’m just looking at the event seriously. I’m not looking at anything weird!”

“What are you talking about when you look at her like that?”

“What?”

“You had the same eyes as the old man!”

I was shocked that she pointed out that my eyes were the same as my dad’s, the same eyes of a dirty adult, and I couldn’t say anything.

In the meantime, Alana’s appeal time was over. I don’t know what the judging criteria were, but I think she left a good enough impression. Aluna’s score was 92 points, which was a high score right off the bat.

Next up was Emina. Unlike Alana, who was in high spirits, her expression was gloomy. Perhaps someone had forced her to participate. However, I thought she was attractive and beautiful enough with her well-trained and refined body, which was due to her military background.

However, although Emina’s appearance was second to none, her dark expression may have been a negative factor, and her score was a sluggish 82. But perhaps relieved that it was over, she finally smiled afterwards.

The third one was Liza, who was not supposed to be there. This one was probably forced to participate by Alana. It was hard to believe that she had chosen a revealing swimsuit. In all probability, it was Aluna’s choice.

Liza has a boyish body, and to be honest, she is not as feminine as Alana and Emina. However, her shy gestures were cute and appealing. The judges may have appreciated this, as she received a score of 91, an unexpectedly high score.

The fourth runner-up was Kiyone. She may or may not know the meaning of the Miss Beauty Pageant, but for some reason she appeared dressed in a hakama-like outfit. Although it was less appealing to the audience than a bathing suit, she looked beautiful enough in her formal attire, which was crisp and brave.

Kiyone danced on the stage with her feet on the floor, and then she suddenly pulled out the sword at her waist.

She then performed what could be described as a sword dance, swinging the sword in a spectacular manner. The dance was quite beautiful, but the lack of exposure may have affected the judges, who gave her a low score of 90 points.

“Where are you looking? What part of this impeccable, refined, beautiful dance did she score 90 points for? Take another good look at it!!!!”

Father loudly protested to the jury that he was not satisfied with the score, but he was not listened to.
