“Nya? I — ”

“Please. We will help you with the little ability we have.”

” … Alright nya. But the fight to determine the King is a 5 versus 5 round robin match nya. Malina doesn’t seem that strong and we still lack people in the first place.”

“Could we ask Jofre and the other to cooperate?”

“Mikke has already registered them so that’s impossible.”

Stella shook her head.

Then they would have to settle on somebody from the village as fighters. People capable of fighting.

“What about the Nyanto Six Stars?”

Haurvatat asked once again.

“The six of them registered as one team nya. One of them is a reserve fighter. The remaining soldiers who are able to fight have to work as security for the main event and they probably owe Maru-oniichan favors so they won’t fight for us nya.”

” … If that’s the case, let’s go look for fighters then.”

“The deadline for registering is the day after tomorrow so you won’t make it if you go to Ferruit nya. The town of Korat would be nearer from here nya. Haru-san should easily be able to cross over the valley at the border nya.”

“Stella-san, could you show me the way? Also, Malina please remain in the village. As long as we don’t have a carriage, I would have to run with Stella-san on my back.”

“Don’t be reckless. Ichino would be sad if anything happens to Haru.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll just push myself a little.”

Haurvatat said as she carried Stella and ran out of the village.

The width of the valley that marks the border was about 9 meters but even with Stella on her back, Haru was able to leisurely leap that distance.

Then, the two of them arrived at a town in Korat.

As Korat was an agricultural country, even though it was a town, it had a slightly strange feature where 90% of the area was used for fields.

In addition, as cows and horses were treated as important family members who help out with field work, they mostly don’t eat beef or horse meat. The meats they consume only consist of the birds that eat the produce from their fields. Although that was all according to what I heard from Carol.

“Where is the Adventurers Guild located?”

“ …. This town doesn’t have such a building nya. If there was, I wouldn’t have made the trip all the way to Ferruit to look for Adventurers nya.”

“That’s true now that you’ve mentioned it.”

If that’s the case, where would they find strong individuals?

It happened when she was thinking that.

She discovered a nostalgic scent.

“No way ──”

Haurvatat wondered if her nose was not working properly.

That was because the two scents shouldn’t be present there and moreover, those two scents shouldn’t be together.

Nevertheless, Haurvatat prayed for that miracle and ran towards it.

That scent led her to the food hall in the town.

“They’re really here …”

Two girls who she knew.

The two of them were also surprised to see Haurvatat.

“Eh? Why is Haru-san here?”

“Long time no see. Although I say that, it has only been three weeks?”

They spoke while still showing their surprise at seeing Haru.

And then, they were … relieved to see Haru.

“It’s been a long time ─ ─”

Standing there was the girl from the vigilante squad in Florence she once met.

“Norn-san.”

And the actual master of Marina.

“Kanon-san.”

It was those two.

Haurvatat didn’t know why Norn, who was supposed to be in Florence, and Kanon, who said she would be traveling north, were there but she said to the two.

“Please lend me your strength.”
