Chapter 1277. Crushing Negatives / Distraction

「 With me? 」

Grace Marinka-san has a dumbfounded look when Kyouko-san told her to have a match.

「 I can understand the people over there, but you? 」

Kyouko-san looked at Miss Cordelia and Eenie.

「 Yes, why don’t we try it out 」

Kyouko-san grinned.

I finally noticed what Kyouko-san’s trying to do.

「 Yes, I’m strong you know. Much stronger than you think 」

Edie and everyone knows that Kyouko-san is strong, but…

Grace Marinka-san doesn’t know that.

No, she might’ve seen Kyouko-san fight Rei-chan on TV several times, but…

Grace Marinka only thinks of Kyouko-san now as the same Kyouko Messer on TV.

「 Come here, here 」

Kyouko-san gives Grace-san some light punches.

「 Hey, you 」

Grace-san looks displeased.

Yes, Kyouko-san…

She’s hiding her strength.

The way she walks, she uses her muscle, the way she behaves.

She’s erased the atmosphere that she’s a strong person.

That’s why Grace-san can only see her as someone weak as it’s their first time meeting.

「 Hm, what? 」

Suddenly, Kyouko-san swings her fist so fast.

Suban!!

「 Ngu!! 」

She throws a heavy fist on Grace-san’s stomach.

「 You won’t call that unfair, would you? It’s your fault for showing me the opportunity 」

Kyouko-san attacks Grace-san with a roundhouse kick, but…

「 Hmph!! 」

Grace-san caught Kyouko-san’s legs like an elementary student in dodgeball.

「 Besides, you seem tough 」

「 Zuwaaaaa!!! 」

Grace-san then tries to twist Kyouko-san’s legs she caught, but…

「 I won’t let you do that!! 」

Kyouko-san spins her body and shook off Grace-san’s hand that was grabbing her leg.

Then, she went behind Grace-san’s back with such great speed…

She grabbed Grace-san’s waist and lifted her tall body…

「 There we go!! 」

And then she bent her body and tossed Grace-san behind.

Oh well…

「 That was the German Suplex Hold!!! 」

Edie shouts.

Kyouko-san’s body arch in a bridge and press both Grace-san’s shoulders against the grass.

「 Nei, count! 」

Kyouko-san said. Nei immediately went;

「 1, 2 」

Grace-san tries to free herself but Kyouko-san’s grip is tight, pushing her to the ground, and so she can’t raise her shoulders.

「 3!!! 」

In professional wrestling, Grace-san loses.

However, Kyouko-san lets go of Grace-san’s body, and then.

「 Okay, another round! 」

She smiles.

「 Oh, just so you know, I’m only doing this German Suplex hold this morning out of my respect for Karl Gotch 」

「 Why? Wha? 」

Kyouko-san got behind Grace-san in no time and then…

She tossed her to the back again.

「 1, 2, 3!! 」

As soon as the count ends, Kyouko-san releases Grace-san again.

「 Let’s go at it again 」

「 Guh!! 」

Grace-san got serious and tried to fight Kyouko-san, but…

「 Too late! 」

Suban!!

She gets behind her again and tosses her to the ground again.

「 1, 2, 3!! 」

「 Okay, we’re back to square one 」

Kyouko-san lets go, grabs her, and tosses her.

Zuban!!!

「 We’re on the lawn so it doesn’t hurt, right? Your body’s going to smell like the earth though 」

「 1, 2, 3!! Kyouko-san’s win! 」

「 Okay, another one! 」

Let go, grab, toss, hold.

Grace-san is busy trying not to get caught, far from fighting Kyouko-san.

But, she gets caught in no time.

「 Okay, too late again! 」

Zuban!!

「 1, 2, 3! Kyouko-san’s win!! 」

「 Guh 」

Grace-san bites her lips out of frustration.

「 What now? Are you going to admit that you lost to me? 」

Kyouko-san told Grace-san laughingly.

「 If you’re going to accept your defeat, then spin three times and bark. Cutely 」

「 I won’t do that! 」

Grace Marinka-san jumped at Kyouko-san.

「 Oh, good. I like girls who have strong spirit 」

But, she’s tossed again.

Then, held to the ground once again.

「 1, 2, 3! Kyouko-san’s win! 」

And she lost again.

Grace-san’s shoulders and hair are completely covered in mud.

「 Are we done? 」

「 Uuuu!!! 」

Then, Grace-san lost to Kyouko-san’s German Suplex Hold ten more times.

「 Haaaa, haaaa, haaa, haaa 」

Grace-san’s lying on the grass, breathing roughly.

「 What? You’re the one getting tossed around and yet, you’re the one who’s tired already? I haven’t even broken a sweat 」

Kyouko-san’s composure remains, just as she mentions.

Her clothes and hair don’t have any dirt on them.

After taking in a German Suplex multiple times, her body’s making a bridge, not touching the ground.

「 Geez, you’re a pro wrestler, and yet you don’t have the stamina 」

Kyouko-san snorts.

「 Papa, are pro wrestlers weak? 」

Agnes asks.

「 I don’t think they are. Pro wrestlers go around the country and play matches for several days in a row. They need to have tough bodies 」

I said.

「 They fight every day, and at most, twice a day. Furthermore, their matches say that it’s a 60-minute fight, but that’s not the case, and if it’s a tag team, half of the match-time is taken off 」

Edie said.

「 They need a tough body to withstand shocks, but they don’t need a lot of stamina. That’s why they can fight every day. That’s the reason why even those in their 50’s are still active 」

Oh, true, pro wrestlers have a long active time.

「 A former sumo wrestler who retired from sumo 15-years-ago, and had been on a losing streak in MMA won his traditional belt in his mid-40s 」

Edie said.

「 Well, pro wrestling is the sport that’s as close to the entertainment you can get. No, it’s more of entertainment than sports. Anyway, it’s a show business 」

Kyouko-san said.

It’s a business where they profit when guests are watching.

「 That’s why they’re boring. They decide who wins or who loses, it’s boring 」

Grace-san said.

「 I see. So, did you lose? 」

Kyouko-san asks.

「 I ignore them. I don’t like losing 」

「 But, if you don’t follow the “book” that the company decided, won’t that be troublesome? 」

Book?

「 “Booking” is where it’s predetermined who will win and in what order. The storyline that takes place outside the ring before and after the match is called the “angle” 」

Edie said.

「 There was a lot of trouble. There were times when it was supposed to be a battle royale, and yet, everyone comes after me. It was 5v1 」

Grace-san said.

「 I see. So, what happened in that match 」

Kyouko-san asks.

「 It was my win. All five of them collapsed. I didn’t lose 」

I see.

「 Anyway, I’m good as long as I’m strong. If it’s just a bit strong, then they’ll take me out, but if I’m too strong, they don’t complain. I was free to do what I want 」

「 That seems like pro wrestling too. Those who are too strong don’t get crushed. Everyone gets afraid 」

「 But they could put something in my food so I don’t eat with everyone else. I never eat lunches that the company provides. I also am careful when sleeping at night so I don’t get attacked 」

Grace-san says. Edie.

「 It was really interesting when we slept in the same room last night. Jun sleeps to bed with a weapon prepared at the bedside, ready to fight anytime. It’s like she’s a Yakuza from the Edo period 」

「 I was on a tour before and a senior wrestler who didn’t like me attacked me in the middle of the night with his minions 」

Grace-san speaks with a nonchalant face.

「 Of course, I turned the tables on them, but I got careful since then. All three of them retired when I counterattacked them that time 」

Pro wrestling world is quite absurd.

「 I just didn’t want to lose. If there was an athlete that was stronger than me, then I’ll accept the loss. But, there wasn’t one 」

Grace-san’s true colors.

Her overwhelming skills meant that the other wrestlers can’t compete with her.

「 That’s why recently they started to hate having a match with me. That’s why I quit wrestling and went to the tournament the other day. The company wouldn’t let me fight so I beat them all up 」

Oh right, the president and everyone got sent to the hospital. All thanks to her.

「 Well, it can’t be helped. After all, it’s a weak wrestling organization, right? There’s no way the management and the players are decent people 」

Kyouko-san smiles wryly.

「 I just want a place where I could fight with all my might 」

Grace-san said.

「 I thought that pro wrestling is that kind of world but it’s different when I went in. It wasn’t fun at all. They’re all weak, and that’s why… 」

「 I get how you feel, but in the end, you’re ignorant of the ways of the world. Your sin is ignorance. All you did was be a nuisance to the wrestling company… 」

Kyouko-san said.

「 I think it’s the right choice to come here. I finally found someone I can fight with all my might 」

Grace-san looked at Kyouko-san and said.

「 I wonder? Sorry, but to me, you’re just a kid, a distraction to me. I mean, you’re too weak that you have so many gaps 」

That’s…

「 It’s not about fighting with all your might. To me, a child like you is no better than a waddling baby. All you’ve been doing is forcing on your own desires and convenience on people around you by force, see? I won’t play along with such a bad girl 」

True, Grace-san only lives on her desire to fight against the strong and not wanting to lose.

She’s lacking from an outsider’s perspective.

「 I think that you need to lose to someone properly. If you continue as you are, then you’ll get old without being able to use your physical prowess without any purpose 」
