Inside a restaurant, I brought the twins to have a chat. I'm treating them for a lunch at a restaurant they wanted. I don't mind how expensive the price is since I'm rich.
"Whoa, the foods here are delicious!" The big one said.
"Seriously! Can we ask for more?" The small one asked.
"You're smaller than me, but you eat way more." The big one said.
"It's fine. Eat to your heart content. I have money and I'm the one who's going to ask you two for a favor. Eat first, then we can talk later." I said.
Around our table, I casted Air Barrier so that no one can listen to our conversation. Though it's not like it's a top-secret matter. But being careful is always good.
The small one eats more than the big one. But the biggest eater here is me who already grabbed my fifth plate.
"Damn! You can really eat!" The big one said.
"I've never met anyone who can eat more than me before. You're amazing." The small one said.
"It's just eating. Don't get amazed by everything." I said.
While eating, I also take a look at the Arena. It was close to the restaurant we're at, and I can see that the first match is finally over. The next match will be held later.
After finishing our meals, we finally had a talk.
"So, why are we here?" the small one asked.
"To eat, obviously! We can have a talk anywhere, but we're here to eat. Though the talk should come now." The big one said.
I wonder if they can be a good pair to be commentators.
"Well, first, my name is Roy. I'm a… hunter, a doctor, and professor in Cassau university." I said.
I don't know which one would be good enough to introduce myself to them, so I picked those three. I could add that I'm a clown as well, but I doubt they will believe me.
Oh, wait! Maybe they were there during the first time I perform as Clarence? Back then it was in Melk, so there's a chance that they know Clarence.
Nah, let's not do that. Although what I will ask them will be related more closely to the clown since it's about entertainment, I can't tell them I'm a clown. After all, people always relate clowns to idiots. I can't let them think that I'm an idiot. At least for now…
"Wow! That mean you're a smart hunter. Cassau university… they participate in the tournament, right?" the small one asked.
"That's right. Although what I'm about to ask you two is not about them. It's about the tournament as a whole." I said.
"What is it about?" The big one asked.
"Idiot! Introduce yourself first! How could he asked something from someone who won't give him their names? I'm Steven. We are twins, and I'm the older one." The small one, said.
"Oh, right. I'm Dwight. The younger one. We're both hunters. Though we can only kill weak monsters. That's why our ranks never increased from C-rank." the big one said.
So… it's Seven and Eight? At least they are easy to remember.
"Actually, I want to offer you two a nice job. Do you know that some people found the match to be boring? I'm one of them. I want you two to comment during the match so everyone can feel that the match is more interesting." I said.
"You mean like… commentors?" Dwight asked.
"It's commenters, idiot!" Steven said.
"Actually, it will be called commentators. I want to ask you two to be the commentators for the duration of the tournament. Until the final." I said.
"Why us?" Steven asked.
"Because you two are interesting. It was back then after the stampede, where everyone heard from the princess about the governor. I heard how you two are capable of riling people up. And you two were quite funny." I said.
"That time? You were there? And you still remember?" Dwight asked.
"Yeah. That was an important event for the whole kingdom after all. while everyone was there listening seriously or getting angry, you two were just making up jokes one after another. That's why I still remember." I said.
"So… you want us to comment on the match, right? Does that mean we will attend every match from now on?" Steven asked.
"That's only if I get the permission of another person. If you want to try it, you'll meet him later. How about I bring you to the next match, and see how you do it? the other person will be there as well, so we can listen to your comment. Though we will ask you to not make fun of the participants too much. I'm fine if you do it, but since some of them are nobles, they might get angry and will target you. Though I will protect you guys if that ever happen. As for the payment, I'll tell you that it will be a lot." I said.
"Wait a moment, please. We need to discuss it together. Just a few minutes." Steven said.
I nodded and let them have a discussion. Though I heard that it's going to be a positive answer from start to finish.
"We'll do it." Dwight said.
"Okay. I'll prepare something in the Arena. I'll get you two there later." I said.
Now, it's time to call Albert.
Albert agreed to my plan, and will come here. Since he's in a carriage going here with Marie and Alan, I can use portal to get them here. Albert said that everyone in the escort team are those who know me, so I don't have to hide my portal.
I also made a suggestion from to install a screen at the square right away, and he agree. Though we will do it at night so no one will be bothered. There are too many people there.
I asked for a room in the Arena. Since there are only thirty teams while there are thirty-two private rooms, I can easily get one. It's nice to see that many people know me.
I return to the restaurant, and grabbed the twin into the private room before the second match. Albert is already there, while Marie and Alan are disguising themselves and sit with Sophie and the others.
"This is the important guy who will decide if you can be hired or not." I introduced Albert as important guy. They won't believe that he's the king since the king was supposed to be on his way.
"Nice to meet you, important person. I'm Steven and this is my brother, Dwight. You will witness how good we are at talking." Steven said confidently.
"I'm looking forward to it. Just like Roy, I got bored easily with normal match. Do your best to not make me bored." Albert said.
What they will do is commenting on the second match. But this is just a tryout and won't be broadcasted for everyone to hear. Just them, Albert and I.
…I'm someone from the future, but I learn many new words from Victoria like broadcast and other words.
The match start, and the two begins with introduction of the first fighters.
"Oh! The guy casted water ball to protect himself! That's new. Who would have thought that water ball can be used like that?" Steven commented.
"Actually, there are many ways to use magic. He just knows one thing more than you in water magic. But that won't be enough to stop his opponent from casting fire magic. Water can stop fire? That's true. Unless the fire is much bigger and stronger than the water." Dwight commented.
I guess they are still experienced hunters after all. they know a lot about many different magic.
"Oh! This time, he dodged instead of blocking the attack! That's just like how you dodged mum's question when she asked you who stole her money." Dwight said.
"Hey! That was supposed to be a secret! Just like how you were unable to hold your pee during a hunt. You were already an adult at the time, you silly!" Steven said.
"That… is why I keep wearing diaper at all time. Even now." Dwight replied shamelessly.
While listening to the two commenting on the fight, Albert and I just smiled.
"How is it?" I asked Albert.
"They are embarrassed at first, but they doing well after getting used to it. And telling some jokes from time to time is a good idea to entertain the audiences. You did well to find these two." Albert said.
"They seem to be having fun being the commentators. And they keep making jokes about each other. Their experience as hunters also helped them in recognizing the magic. This way, even those who are not familiar with elements other than their own will be able to understand more. And they can also learn their own element better. Maybe we need another person as an analyst. Someone who is well-versed in knowledge of all type of magic. Though such person will be difficult to find." I said.
"We can't find such person in hurry. But we should be able to prepare someone for the tournament between countries." Albert said.
We are still listening to how the twins commenting the match. The second fight, third fight, until the match is over, they are getting better and better. I guess they're hired.
"By the way, since we have TVs and broadcasting tool, does that mean you won't ask for Sonia's help anymore?"
If TVs and cameras are getting popular, Albert won't need Sonia anymore as a way of communication.
"No. For the more important matter, we will ask Sonia. And even more important matter, we will ask you to gather everyone together." Albert said.
I guess Sonia will still be busy after other ways of distant communication are invented.
