Before I knew it, Paula and I were back in the garage. We’d landed headfirst on a mattress.

“Holy smoked mackerel! The Brunhild exploded, folks! I-Is the driver safe? He’s safe, people! He was warped out! But what a scary track!”

“Come on, wasn’t that a little extreme?!”

A landmine?! Is that legal?! Is that even legal?! I know we’re trying to test out the limits of our Ether Vehicles but I didn’t realize I was supposed to make an armored truck!

I looked at the monitor in my garage and saw my Brunhild laying on the tracks. It had been damaged pretty badly. Repairs would definitely be possible, but it’d take longer than the race to fix it up. It was regrettable, but I had no choice but to withdraw from the race. I was pretty mad about it.

I contacted the race HQ and told them I was out.

“Oh, the Brunhild is out of the race! What a shame!”

Tsk... I didn’t think I’d be the first one to get kicked out. But I guess the Steel Ax is out of commission too, so there are only six racers left.

I told the mini-bots to recover the Brunhild wreck, then went through a [Gate] that led me and Paula to the audience seating area on the beach.

“Oh, Touya. Sorry you lost.”

“Dang it, lad! I had a bet on you!”

The emperor of Regulus and the beastking glanced over and offered me their comments. I couldn’t believe they had a betting pool going.

“Gimme a break, man...”

I sighed slightly as I looked up at the monitor. The other racers were still stuck in the maze.

Looking at it from this angle made me keenly aware of how well-constructed it was. It was definitely going to take them a while yet.

I started to worry a bit when I saw the timer ticking down in the corner of the screen, but I reassured myself when I remembered how close the goal was to the maze exit.

“Touya, are you okay?”

I looked over and saw Yumina and the other girls seated at a table. Paula hurriedly toddled over to Leen. I followed after and sat down in an empty chair.

“I knew you were fine, I did. But I must admit that when your vehicle exploded I felt a pang of fear, I did.”

“It was scary...”

Yae and Sakura voiced their concerns. I was certainly frightened in the moment as well. I didn’t think a trap like that would be there so soon, so it was a result of my own careless nature.

“You should’ve paid more attention. That trap was totally obvious! It had a skull on it!”

“I was accelerating at the time, and I couldn’t see it properly since I’d just made a turn...”

...Bah, it just sounds like I’m making excuses for myself now. I guess I did let first place go to my head, though.

“We placed it there expecting something like that. We believed the first vehicle through would be the one to trigger it... But I must admit, I’m surprised we got you, Touya.
