Labyrinth Restaurant

"Ooh, the cosmos is really shrinking!

"Ha ha, if I don't see you for three days, I'll scratch you. That's exactly what I'm saying."

A year-to-year correspondingly small Simon was now stroking as if to confirm the head of a more mini-sized cosmos (small) than he did. Though I heard about it, this is the first time I've seen you look like a child in this way, so I seem to have a fresh impression.

It's not strange to suspect someone else's deception if they're normal, because they're too different in stature, but just talking two or three words seemed to convince me that they were Cosmos himself from that rare and extreme behavior.

"Both of you, almost"

Lyme, who was walking ahead, looked back at the two stopping and hurried. I have a few errands ahead of me, but if I'm late for my appointment, I won't be able to participate.

And two more in addition to them.

"... one chestnut-haired boy and two girls, one elf. Uh, is that the kid you guys were talking about, Alice?

"Nice to meet you, guys. I'm Eric. This is Angelica."

That's what I said and spoke to the three of you, this one with two kids. It was Angelica and Eric the vampire.

Thus gathered the five who seemed face-to-face and were not surprised. Everyone solidifies their gear with coats and gloves and mufflers that look warm.

When I said why are there so many children moving into and out of the Demon King's Restaurant, there was a reason for that not to be very profound.

"Yum, yum."

That's right. Lime's hand holds a single handwritten flyer.

The paper had a large letter called 'First Labyrinth City Snowball Games/Children's Department' and detailed rules underneath it. I discount the detail, but it contains the phrases "one team, five people" and "only children under thirteen can participate".

"Hehe, let me definitely lead you to victory. Yes, using any cowardly hand......!

"Cosmos, what are you going to fight?

There's a saying cosmos (what an evil field expert some were) about the mismanipulation of this hand tournament battle, and the rest of us are burning a passion we don't quite understand and eating Simon's scratch, but this time it's just a game, and I'm sure you're going to joke. Maybe it should. Be prepared for once.

By the way, the organisation of this event is not by the public authorities, but by a coalition of shopkeepers in the city.

It was a pastoral one where people from snowy regions were at the centre to entertain their children with snow play. It's just a children's section, though.

It must be because I learned that the prizes of the tournament are surprisingly good items for this event: free vouchers that can be used in sponsored stores (they can also be used in liquor stores and taverns. although there are limits). They started planning and advertising in the short term since the snow began to fall, but it has grown considerably larger.

The adult section, which is scheduled to be held after the evening after the children's section, has beefy teams made up of only people from the snowland, as well as adventurers and professional military teams confident in their health, who are looking to win. This guy is always a bad adult for free booze, so the air doesn't tighten.

Well, kids who don't know what's going on with such greedy adults,

"Well, good luck everyone!

Age and personality aptitude led Nature and Angelica to the park where they became team leaders and venues.

Snowball is often thought of as just a snowball game, but that's something deep inside.

If it is also a confrontation between the bastards, is that a hard competition that requires a high degree of intellectual strength, such as undisturbed teamwork like a precision machine or the reward of a psychological battle to hold a sweat in your hand?

Nevertheless, that is only in the case of a bastard.

If it is a confrontation between novices to snowball, let alone children, it would be normal to repeat the assault without any loco maneuvers. And if it's not a big difference in tactics or technology, as is the case in most athletic competitions, it's something that those who beat their age and physique will rightly win. If normal.

"Bravo one, come in. Charlie 3 succeeded in his positive move, with a hole in the right wing of the enemy formation. Take control in twenty seconds."

"Who's that about... well, I'll go"

I'll cover you, too.

Unfortunately for the kids on the other team, they weren't normal.

Regardless of the mysterious code name that your teammate hasn't even grasped, Cosmos' instructions are extremely precise and, as she says, creepy enough one-sided to overwhelm someone with free hands at that time just to move. It was as if I was even playing chess with the answers I knew.

Angelica and Eric only have the same degree of physical ability as normal humans because it's only daytime now, but their physical fitness at the maximum age of participation only works in favor of the majority of participants,

"This Kabe, Grandpa"

"The snow wall is broken!? Everybody run!

Lime will tear down thick snow walls one fist after the other to hide himself, pre-installed on the field. It is also unacceptable to hide in the wall and aim for the time lapse because of it. Where the hell is she going?

"I know, I know, you guys...... that is scary, very scary. Well, there's no forgiveness for the battle."

"Oh, they did it!?"

And a snowball with sympathy by Simon captures exactly where he rushed out of hiding. It was impossible to respond in a situation where you lost your posture and you were not prepared to fight back.

Nor could a normal child be able to counter them for showing such a brilliant combination. We quickly proceeded to the finals without any difference in age or physique.
