"Sage Grecas! What the hell is this... what do you mean!?

The fairy Metius screamed in his ear. Nevertheless, the interpretation is palm size. The little bird's chirping just got a little bigger, but it's so loud.

Don't scream in my ear.

"Can you not help but scream this!

Peppy and the fairy slap my earlobes.

"Tell me."

"Please answer! While I was sleeping...... what happened?

Place your hands on your hips and swell your cheeks plumply as you rest in the air in front of your eyes with a flurry.

Its face is serious and its eyebrows hang tight, but a fairy with honey-colored hair in her blue eyes is adorable as a doll.

"Well, there's nothing there. Based on what in the first place..."

"If not... what is this hair?

and Meti bissi her sparkling silver hair! and pulled it in front of me like a munchkin with both hands to show it.

"Hair......"

"I found it on Master Grecas' shoulder."

"... what is it? It's manuferno's..."

"No! Manuferno's are slightly softer, slightly more wavy than this. But this... is called straightforward, resilient, lustrous tension, like..."

"Like, what the hell?"

Metius thinks I'm going to confess something, and he's peeking into my eyes.

Sure, it could be Faria's, but there's nothing nasty about it.

"Faria, isn't that your thing?

"Ah...... ah! Yes, I remember! I was practicing with Rudensbuster earlier! Yeah, I guess I got it then."

By the way, "Loudensbuster" is a move used by dragon fighters in combat, a state jump with their opponents shoulder held up, a move that falls and breaks their spine as it is.

On a previous adventure, I had seen Faria hang on an ergonote.

"Mmmm...?

"Ha ha, because we're old best friends (...)! Sometimes that happens."

"... that's kind of suspicious"

Plum and Hemperoza told me the same thing. I go up to my throat, but stop.

The bond between Manuferno, Lentomia, and the fairy Metius, who have my (Grecas) Alliance for Co-Protection (Sharing), is surprisingly deep.

You should pick the sprouts for each extra note.

Metius seems convinced.

"Here comes Iola!

"Here we go. Here we go!

Tamming well, Manuferno called me from the other side.

We were enjoying Rudens' Apologetic Festival sights and came to the venue of the Innoboo Race where Iola competed.

The ranch, which extends to the south side of town, which is both a start and a goal, already attracted a large crowd to wait now or now for the start of the race.

It is a different venue than the Royal Ranch held for the Battle Dragon (Battle) winning streak (Tournament), but it breeds livestock innovations.

It is the weakest category as a demon to vandalize the fields of the village of Finobocchi and be turned into two pieces by Luroni. It is a boar demon like a cow that reaches up to two mertes in size, but it is no different from normal livestock if grown in a land of no concern. The meat seems deliciously grown even in Rudens.

Horseware was tied to a number of innovations on the ranch so that impromptu horseback riding (...) could be done without pigs (...).

Apparently the contestants will get through this and come back around a three-kilometer journey with the rampant Inoboo to say it's a specialty race.

This time too, only a few fine carriages of the royal family are on special stage, and Princess Sanya is wearing ethnic costume-style dresses for a special judge.

Sanya ties her long hair together and the moveable horseback riding costume fits quite well with the impression of "Princess Otenba".

Now by the carriage, I'm having a fun chat with Faria.

For this race, the top three will be awarded products and medals directly by Princess Sanya.

As for Iola, who admires her, she'll want to win the prize at all costs.

Faria and Lentomia, plus Pram and Hemperoza sat in the spectator seats set up nearby.

And it's Larna the Toddler Slime sitting right on Manuferno's lap.

Beside it is also Riola, who sold her own bread and cookies in the city. I guess I ran to support my brother (Iola).

He said he'd been helping Riola in the morning, along with Luroni, the swordsman, and a big spiano in his stomach.

"You're all right. Riola, how was the sale?

"Brother Gu, no! I kind of sold it already, with great momentum!

Riola with a hock-face laughs at him.

The chestnut hair you see in the sun looks bright and glossy.

"I think we had a lot of male customers, but the awkward ones were watching behind us!

Lu says so and tenses his chest, but I see. I would buy bread or cookies if Riola was selling them. But... wouldn't they have held my hand when I handed you the stick?

"If it weren't for the heartless Lutu cat, you'd have sold more, wouldn't you say?

Spiano teases.

"Huh? Is that right?

"No, Suppi, Mr. Lu is cool! There were a lot of women visiting in the second half."

Riola follows properly.

Even in the open air with permission, the presence of Lulu would have been significant, as it would have been difficult for drunk guests and teases to come.

Well, while I was taking care of my ears and tail, maybe I was just skipping.

"I want a cookie to sell cats..."

"Say hello!

"Ha."

Well, the three of us seemed to be getting along. Best of all. By the way, cookies for "quality reviews" shouldn't come in "Riola Cute Corrections" because they are a format where only objects are side-by-side culinary research specialists or Loudens Castle cooks make sure they taste and score.

"Eh! Athletes, get ready -"

and announcements by Voice Expansion Magic (Megaphonia) flowed in the venue, and adjustments began shortly before the race departed.

"Brother Io, no!

"Brother Io, no!

When Pram and Hemperoza looked at the tip of their fingers, there was Iola. He wears skinned armor, knees, shoulders, and partial armor to protect his beard.

"Iolar!"

"... oh! Guys!"

Iola waves back at Larna's voice.

The other contestants are boys and young people about the same age as Iola, but they all have quite a tough face whether they are working out in farm work or a warrior's tear.

There were a total of twelve Inoboos running, and Iola had Zeke on number 10. You mean Inobu seems to have been collecting things of similar stature and is on the flag bearer's arm?

- This looks harsh.

Many will have racing experience, and suddenly it will be tough.

"Io, I wonder if you're okay..."

Riola the boulder also looks at Iola worryingly.

"Ora's standing out, it's a big deal."

"That's right. Some of them are emitting sharp signs…"

"Fighting to manipulate Innoboo is different. Animals atrophy with killing."

Lu and Spiano are eye-sharp and deserving of other contestants as they arm themselves.

"... you're a horrible couple"

"What?

"Ssss?"

I laugh at both of them with a bright smile, and I don't think so. But former Assassin to the famous swordsman (Serveria). The eyes that spot people will be real.

- Good luck, Iola.

I deployed the tactical information display (tactics) in visible mode so that it could be seen by everyone and floated in the air.

Visualize Innoboo reactions detected in the Enemy Junction (Circle). Overlay the map of the city of Archtails, twelve. Mark this red light point.

Number 10 is Iola.

"Come on, Rudens, Apology Festival! What's the most exciting thing? Inoboo! Rejesus!

Whoa! And the applause boils from the audience.

Then, with the announcement to announce the start, the bronze rumble was sounded and the race began.

"Innoboo Rider, it's a start at the same time!

Dodo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

"Piggyyyyy!"

"Wow!?

Iola rounds her eyes to the momentum and is best caught. We were slightly late at the starting point.

"Iolar! Good luck, Dace!

"Io!"

Iola late from the lead group, but ran desperately out.

"Did you see..."

"Zeke number eight, jamming Iola's escape (...)... you missed Keri"

Gogogo, and the killer rises from the two of them, Lu and Spiano sharply glancing and putting their hands on the knife on their hips.

"Oh, calm down because it's bad for the baby!?

But it certainly won't be a glimmer.

- Don't lose, Iola.
