Hal and Lunaria, determined to go to the martial arts tournament, were moving towards the militant state of Eguadelle.

Along the way, we decide to stop in a small town.Lots of travelers flock to the town of Rable.

Rabble was the last town on the way to Eguadelle, and there was no village to rest from, so there was a natural gathering of people before the tournament.

The small size of the station town is due to the fact that there are few dwellings for people in the town, and most of it consists of outward shops.

That was where the demand from customers for Eguadelle could be expected.

"Well, I'm glad I managed to get an inn."

“Well, it's busy, so I was worried about what would happen.”

As soon as Hal arrived, judging by the crowds, he stopped by a couple of hotels with no spare rooms, but they were all full.

This is also due to the proximity of the martial arts tournament.

However, the townspeople also knew that there were many travelers during this period, and there were a number of lodgings that opened only during this period.

The two men who were able to find one managed to find a place to stay.

"Even so, I only had rumor-like information, so I didn't understand the sense of scale, but it's quite popular."

"The people of the city talked about it, but this time it seems to be the strongest thing ever, with the participation of the champions of the past, which is held once every four years."That's why I think there are many participants and many customers who want to see it! ”

Hal, sitting on the bed, spoke impressively, looking out of the window.

By the time I arrived at the inn, I was traveling around the town in a carriage, and the town was talking about the tournament.

Lunaria will explain the results of the fragmented gathering of that information.

"I see, that means that even if we participate, they are pretty strong."It might be possible to be the champion of the previous tournament from the beginning.... "

Such an uncompassionate combination was something I didn't want, but Hal's mouth was loose.

"Fufu, Hal-san, looks like you're having a good time."

Lunaria noticed that and smiled softly.

"Ah... yes. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to measure my strength in the formal fight against the powerful."I know the winner will receive a bounty, but what is a rare item? "

The pointed out Hal noticed himself laughing and gently massaged his cheeks to make him feel a little embarrassed and misleading.

And since he only gathered a lot of information, he listened to the surrounding stories and asked questions to Lunaria.

"It's true, the winner, the semi-winner, and the third place winner will receive the prize money."I heard that the winner will be given a victory ring and powerful magic tools. "

With a smile, Lunaria had already gathered enough information to answer the question.

It's a magic tool, I'm looking forward to it!

Hal was only looking forward to fighting, but he was suddenly motivated by the magic tool.

Hal thought it would be quite unusual to win a prize at such a big tournament.

"Fufu, I think you'll have a high level magic tool like Hal predicted."Previously, the winning product was a high ranked demon sword.A mirror capable of transferring two points together, but with a limited distance.I think it's a little different from magic equipment, but there was also a secret medicine for rejuvenation!This time, the contestants are special, and you can expect rewards. ”

Lunaria counted and told me that all of them were highly rarity magic tools that were not normally available.

Even if such a large number of products have been sold in the past, it is likely that there will be more products at large-scale competitions such as this one.

Whatever was prepared as a reward, it was a natural course to inflate expectations even more than usual.

"Oh, that doesn't raise expectations."So, do you have any forecasts for this product? "

"Hmm, that didn't seem to be happening."However, everyone said that they would definitely get something amazing. ”

From the information gathered, Lunaria answered with a bitter smile, but I didn't hear that much.

"I see... well, no matter what happens, I'll see what I can do, and I'll try to win."

Yes!

After a moment of thought, Hal raised his face and laughed militantly at Lunaria.

Lunaria, who was sorry for the lack of information, smiled and nodded as she was caught.

Hal and the others have a lot of opportunities to fight powerful monsters.

Sometimes they fought powerful demons.

That's why if you get enough magic items, it's likely to be a big boost to your power.

If it's something you can't use in battle, maybe you can use it to negotiate something.

Thinking of it that way, I had no choice but to win here.

I hope the two of you can fight in the final!

Lunaria was looking forward to battling Hal in the tournament, as she had told us before coming here.

Lunaria had gained experience since the curse was lifted, and she could feel her strength growing stronger and stronger. However, since Hal had the same growth skills, she could not imagine what kind of battle it would be, and that inflated Lunaria's expectations.

Ah, so let's both monopolize the top products and prizes!

Hal, who was smiling nervously, was also becoming enthusiastic, and the two of them were beginning to have a clear image of themselves on the stage of the final.

Oh!

The energetic shout of Lunaria, who raised her arms, leaked out from the empty window, but there were many people on the road outside and disappeared into the hustle and bustle.

There was still a time before the tournament, and the two of them who stayed in this town for a while in order to cultivate their spirit, were energized by the enthusiasm before the tournament and further motivated...
