It's almost late at night, but Ma-chan's work is still going on.We eat dinner at a table without Ma-chan.

For once, we all survived.

May says as she eats the salad.Hagis seems to have finished his dinner separately and has no plates at Hagis's, but he still wants to talk to us and is sitting at the table.

Natori, sitting next to Hagis, drinks the soup.

Well, the winner is this soda.

"Hahaha... if Natori wins, I'm going to break down, I'm in trouble..."

I sigh.

Sodium continues again.

"Today, however, the number of individual fights is 235 to 64."

Quite a bit less.

"Today, Natori fought twice and you fought one at a time.But tomorrow we're going to have six fights to win, and the number of matches per person is going to increase dramatically, and recovery between matches is going to be important. "

Soda overlooks a dragon eating rice on the floor.

"... we must preserve the wizard and prepare ourselves just in case."

Yeah, that's right.

"And then Tesperk."

Natori points at me with a serious face.

"Tomorrow's four rounds will be between Natori and you."

"Eh, eh!?

Four rounds is the second of the six games tomorrow.

"I wonder if I can win."

Speaking with a lack of confidence, Mae next door slaps her shoulders.

"Of course! It's only natural that Alisa wins, not whether she wins or not.If you're normal, you'll win. "

"What?!

Sodium hits the table hard and is intense.

"May, did you say Tesperk will win?Hey, Tesperk!

Sodium becomes. Hagis in the adjacent seat is surprised and moves the chair away from the soda.

"Hit me tomorrow with all your might!Don't hesitate, show me what Tesperk can do!Then Natori wins over you!

Eh, uhh, I see...

I reply with a glance.In fact, if you lose to Natori, you'll break up with me, so I have to do it.

"I don't need halfway magic.Give me your full strength!

This time, the strange May gets in the way of our conversation.

"Hey, Nat, you shouldn't say that, you saw Alisa fight earlier, right?You think you can handle that flame?Don't do anything stupid. "

"Shut up. Sodium is stronger than Tesperk.It's an unshakeable fact. "

"Why are you so concerned about winning or losing?

Radica also raises her hand and speaks.

"Even in the bath, we were told that sodium is okay because sodium can only be used.If you do what Natori says, Natori will die.

"Yes, Natori will definitely die.Don't let Alisa die with the least amount of force. "

Both Radica and May say disturbing things like dying.Um, is my full strength so strong?

"Alisa, you didn't do everything you could to explode that match earlier, did you?

Yeah, that would be about 30% or 50%...

When I returned it with a blurry feeling, the soda just fell and didn't say anything.

May looks at it and tells Natori how it is.

"Stop provoking Alisa when Natori has lost her life.This isn't a threat. "

"Uh-uh..."

Soda puts her hands on her knees and is about to cry.

"Hey, Natori-chan, how do you want to beat me so far?

When I tilt my neck, the soda starts to pound and talk.

"Before you went to Estik Magic School, you had primary education, right?

"Yeah."

In the Kingdom of Wistaria, schools are classified as primary education and higher education.Primary education takes three years to learn reading, writing, computing, etc.This is something that is common to all citizens and that everyone must learn.It's like compulsory education in the previous life.Those who have finished this will choose a school that suits their future dreams and interests, where they will receive higher education.If you want to learn more about magic, choose a magic school like we do.There are also swordsmanship schools and home schools for professional housewives.

Since I first met Natsu from Giff School, did Natsu receive primary education at Giff School?It seems different when I think about it.

"Natori came to Estik from elementary school."

There are several schools in Estik that provide primary education, so they may have been different.

"Natori has always been the best in school.Study and sports were the best.Everyone yearned for Natori and supported him.I promised my elementary school classmates that Natori would be the best in magic school.If you lose here now, Natori won't be able to keep that promise. "

That's right.Until now, Natori has lost many fights against me, but you promised someone in primary education.

"Natori has challenged you many times, but I've been losing to you all about magic.Natori was supposed to be the best in magic school... "

That's it, Natori clogs the words.

"... Natori, you worked really hard on history and literature at magic school.I think I've been working hard. "

"Ah, if you can't win with magic, I've been trying to win in another field.I worked hard to win the trust of the Demon King.But the fact that you can't be the most magical remains unchanged.Tesperk "

Natalie, who was feeling upset, suddenly raised her face here and looked at me.

"If you lose tomorrow's game, Natori will give up being the best in magic."

The words surprise Radica.

"Natori... it's unusual to give up."

"Ah, Natori never wanted to give up on you.I didn't want to give up, so I tried again and again, but I couldn't win.However, now I have the trust of the Demon King in another field.He said he was stronger than you in that field. "

Say that, drink water once, take a breath, and then continue.

"Nat didn't mean to admit losing against Tesperc.But if you lose anyway, I want you to lose by showing me the difference in overwhelming power.I want to lose before I know for a lifetime that I can't beat you.Until now, when you fought Natori, you only showed halfway power.That's why Natori wants to see what you can do. "

That's how hot it is. But my neighbor May's reaction was cold.

"Nat, I don't know what's going on, but if Alisa attacks you with all her might, you're dead.You saw it when you were traveling, right?I've been building about a quarter of the planet's boundaries. "

"It's okay. Sodium is fine.It's the destiny of those who want it most. "

Sodium's face is even serious.

Its eyes are pure and free from stains, fully enlightened.You insist on me.

Does May feel bad? Now she tells me.

"Alisa, don't take Natori seriously.I'm gonna die. "

"Oh, okay, Natori."

I received the feeling of sodium.

That's what happened if you thought you'd compete against me many times before.

I say face to face to see Mae.

"If Natori is satisfied, I'll do my best tomorrow."

"Stop it!

Mae yells without putting her hair in.

"You, take care of your friends a little more!

"It's okay, onee-sama, I'm not that strong when I say I'm doing everything I can."

"I'm saying it because it's too strong!

May diligently brightens her face and shakes my shoulders.

But now that I know how Natori feels, I feel like hypocrisy is mixed in with Mae's expression.

"I'm sorry, onee-sama."Onee-sama doesn't seem more serious than Natori.Because Natori is serious, I want to respond to her feelings. "

"* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Think about it later!

That's how Mae yelled, and the meal went out of the room.

Radhika also had a dissatisfied look on her face, as if she had something to say to me or Natalie, but she kept quiet and proceeded with the meal, wondering what she thought would not change.
