Chapter 400 It Strangely Fits Just Right (1/2)

Tension heavily dominates the place. Wiping away the sweat on my shoulder with my arm, I turned my gaze back to the being I’m facing.

It was a close battle, and one could say that I was being pushed into a corner. However, I’m not the only one cornered in this fight…… One more strike…… If my one single strike connects, it will be my win.

However, I don’t have much time left. If I miss here, it will be my loss…… It’s indeed a paper-thin battle.

[……Master…… Do your best.]

Wishing for my victory behind me, Anima cheered me on. As if she could feel the same tension I’m feeling now, I could feel her voice tremble.

However, the words I received did indeed bring courage to my heart, and surrendering my body to the heat of the moment, I prepared my stance.

Feeling as if time is accelerating, I felt as if the scenery around me seemed unusually clear, and with a step forward, I unleashed my final strike.

[Eat thhiiiiiisssss!]

As if responding to my thoughts, the white trajectory that was released from my hand sharply burst forth and successfully caught its target.

……Well, even with all the bullsh*t I said, I’m actually just playing target practice……

[Congratulations! You have scored five points and will receive a stamp.]

[You did it, Master! Amazing!]

As the attendant told me I’ve met the requirements with a smile, she places a stamp on my stamp card. As I was returned to her side with a smile, Anima looked so happy as if it were her who had won.

This was one of the attractions that Anima and I stopped by on our way to the third arena. You throw a ball at a target with nine boards, and if you score five or more points, you get a stamp.

Well, to put it bluntly, it’s just like those target practice games using a baseball back in my world.

Incidentally, Anima has also tried it out, but she wasn’t able to clear it. Anima can throw a very powerful fastball, but her control isn’t so good.

The speed of my ball throws may not be that great, but my control is pretty good, so I somehow managed to clear it.

Well, after such a violent start to the day, playing something normal like this feels fun.

It seems like Megiddo-san’s words that he had prepared a variety of attractions were true, as I have seen quizzes and card games before we joined this booth.

It would have been great if the battle against the War King’s Five Generals were something like this…… I seriously don’t know what Megiddo-san is planning.

With these thoughts in mind, I left the booth and walked down the street with Anima.

As we leisurely made our way to the next arena, moving our gaze around the considerable number of stalls, Anima suddenly turned her attention to one stall.

[……Unnn? Salt-grilled fish huh…… Should we have some?]

[Ah, n- no!? I’m alright! I- It just happened to be in my line of sight……]

[I see. But seeing it now, I’m tempted to try it out, so let’s eat together.]

[Uuuuu…… Yes.]

Anima eats meat too, but she prefers fish…… She may think that she’s hiding it, but it’s easy to tell because her eyes sparkle when she looks at fish dishes.

Well, with Anima’s personality, she’s probably thinking that she can’t stop me just because of her own desire…… It’s better to invite her a little forcefully like this.

I bought two pieces of salt-grilled fish and gave one to Anima. As usual, Anima insisted on paying for the fish herself, but I used my position as her master to make her shut up.

When I tasted the salt-grilled fish, I found the texture of the crispy skin and the soft white meat. And this right amount of saltiness…… Unnn, this is tasty.

[How is it, Anima?]

[I- It’s delicious!]

[I see, want some more?]

[N- No! I’m already fu———-]

[Excuse me, can I have another one?]
