On the day of the demon sword tournament, my mother rushed up to me as I tried to leave the house
“Wait Arnos-chan! Mothers cooing out clothes
“You’re coedo?”
“UnThe school sent me a ticket and anyone with a ticket to the tournarounds”
“I still haven’t decided if I’ed to et his report first
I’ll make my decision based on what he tells ood enough sword?”
“Yeah, pretty much”
If I explain my true reasons my mother wouldn’t really understand so I’ll stick to et your sword soAlso, I want to see the school Arnos-chan goes to”
I’ to see but its fine
“Shall we go then?”
“Unn”
We lock up and as we start walking my mothers links her aro out with Arnos-chanMother’s happy”
It’s a bit hard to ith you sticking to h………
“Nee, Arnos-chan”
My mother looks very happy
“……That’s true”
It’s fine I suppose
Hanging on to oing to pour cold water on her mood
“Have you seen father recently?”
After dashi+ng out he cauess he’s still working hard on obtaining a de out at other blacksmiths since they are short-staffed”
I seeIs that price he paid for knowledge on deh”
My hs happily
“Perhaps, but I don’t mindThat person is a hard worker so it’s okay”
I’ve never seen ine it at all when I think about his usual everyday figure
“Speaking of which Arnos-chan, is the other person chosen fro leisurely I answerat school I lead her to the arena
“If you carry straight on you will get to the audience seats”
“Un, thank you Arnos-chanDo your best”
“AahWe shall see”
“Mother supports you!”
Myto my words
Since alked quite slowly the tournament should be ready to start
The very first match is also my match so I really don’t haveroohI left the arena and headed to the demon tree forest
The forest had coreen again
After walking for a while a nyaa ca up a black cat is perched on a branchWith a light gait, it comes down the treeIt’s Aivis
“What have you found?”
The black cat opens its mouth
“Gaius and Idol, two of the old seven demon emperors are involved in the tournament behind the scenes”
Those two?
Gaius’ memories were erased and his body taken over by a subordinate of Avos DillheaviaI never checked Idol but its very likely its the same with him as well
“What’s their aim?”
“I believe it’s you Arnos-sa to trap you somehow”
“If that’s the case then they are probably trying to beat rees
“They will probably try to reduce your power by using the rules against you Arnos-sama”
FumuThis is probably the most likely scenario
“What’s the location of Gaius and Idol?”
“I don’t know, but I found out that they will be co to watch the finals to though
It see through to the finals
“What about Melheys?”
“He’s a hard one to catch sight of, but froen that he’s intending to defy you Arnos-sama”
Is he innocent?
Oh wellI still can’t confir about it
“What about Ray?”
“Ray Grandori’s ic clinicHer condition isn’t goodShe’s close to death and healing ed to at least stabilise her though”
That’s why he looked so downWhy didn’t he depend on h?
“What’s the disease?”
“The doctor’s notes state its spirit sickness”
FumuI’ve never heard of it
“What kind of disease is it?”
“I don’t knowI’ve never heard of itI had to look it up and apparently, it’s very rare”
So that’s why she’s adic clinic in Deiruheido
“Anything else?”
“That’s all I’ve ed to find”
To understand his mother’s illness I’ll have to examine her directlyIt doesn’t sound like a disease associated with h
“Sorry for the trouble I’ve put you throughI’ll be depending on you again”
“Your will”
Aivis walks off into the forest
