The next day, when I woke up and went outside, everyone was already starting to work. There's a lot to do to prepare for the tournament, including adjusting the equipment, checking contestants, tournaments, and refereeing. Even I should have woken up earlier than usual, but I can't believe it's moving faster than that. Yesterday, I was drinking so much and fussing, adults are amazing.

"Someone who went straight to work without sleeping, almost, maybe."

I was so impressed with Ronnie's words. Adults in the Devil's Continent are amazing. You don't have to sleep for a few days, do you? Honestly, I'm not sure I can stay awake as an adult.

Still, you had fun last night. Sister Chio's stewed hamburger was the best, and the skewer that I got in the street was really delicious. I also had cakes, pudding and jelly for dessert, and I stuck with them too much.

Of course, it's not just food. I was surprised that Mr. Wyatt sang while playing the guitar. That's great, too! Everyone was smiling all the time dancing to that music and singing with it, and I thought that made me kind of so happy. I danced too, but I will never forgive your father for telling me what that bonsai is.

I chatted a lot with everyone, laughed, and had so much fun. Are you okay with all this fuss? I thought so, but there's Ortus. Soundproofing magic props were installed. I can't pull it out......!

Me and Aska went back to the simple tent early to sleep because we were kids. I still wanted to participate, because we rowed the boat together. The body is honest.

Apparently, the two of us had one calculation to prepare, and I was with Mr. Gill. I've been getting them to accompany me all these days, so don't tell me that's going to continue and I'm relieved.

Yes, because! I'm so relieved! I just slept alone yesterday, though. I wanted Mr. Gill to enjoy the banquet. I was never lonely.... I didn't.

"Meg, something to eat?

"Hmm, I ate a lot yesterday, so maybe I'm not really hungry"

Answer Ronnie's question with a belly rub. Really, I ate enough that I couldn't. Still, if you let Asuka tell you, it seems to be "less than one meal for me". Asuka is the one who eats...!

"Just fruit, you want some?

"Yeah! I will! And Ronnie?"

"Yeah. I'll eat with you."

Apparently, you've been expecting me. Ronnie's still sweet. My face looked more like an adult, and I felt more like a brother than a brother, but the contents had been the same for a long time. They were calm and cozy together. The two of us laughed at each other and headed to a simple table that we had installed outside.

"Ah, Meg! Oh, no!

"Asuka!... we don't eat in the morning"

There was a client at the table. A large bowl of soup and salad are lined up and even eaten in such a way as to monopolize a cage with a pile of bread. Wow. Mr. Kay is gracefully drinking tea next door. I remember the illusion that space is so different...... too picturesque!

"Especially if you don't eat it in the morning. You don't have it. Shrier says it's a growing season. What about Meg? Aren't you hungry?

Damn, Aska innocently chooses my heart......! I mean, it's just like you're saying that your growing season isn't, or you're still small! It's okay, I'm going to be... I'm going to be taller and I'm going to get out and I'm going to be a nice buddy... Gu.

"I was eating a lot yesterday, and you know what? I'm not that hungry, either."

"Because people have their own amount to eat. Luascatius should be well fed, and Meg should be lighter. It's important to know the right amount of yourself."

Ronnie is just a follow up. And Kay's words are convincing. We both love it......! I also sit next to Ronnie in my seat with a bitter smile, putting some fruit out of my storage bracelet on the table. Appy and Navaba, plus an assortment of orans.

"Hey, if you eat, you're both going to training, right?

I said is that enough. While I tilted my neck like that, I was just a little ho at Aska for changing the subject. Members who compete in the game are told not to help prepare, but to train. Our escorts, Mr Gill, Mr Shrier and Mr Kay, are supposed to be taking turns watching us. You're Mr. Kay today, aren't you? Of course, I shook my head vertically.

"Me, I'm so strong! You could win in the underage division!

"Oh, you're so confident! That's all I'm saying, I guess I'm really getting stronger."

"Even Meg, right?

"Yeah! I tried so hard!

I like these positive things about Aska. Let's see how strong we've gotten with each other in training, laughs.

"Ronnie train with you, too? Oh, but I don't think it's enough..."

Then I turn to Ronnie and ask. I think the training was a lot tougher than ours because we're going into the adult sector. I miss those days when we worked hard together on the human continent. Since then, under Kay's guidance, I've been training indispensably every day. Ronnie got really strong.

"Probably on a different menu, I think it will. But two trainings, after a little look, I'll do it."

When Ronnie gave Kay just a glance confirmation, Kay smiled and nodded at me.

"Really!? Yay!

If we could have done it together, I would have noticed a caged eye of anticipation. Seeing that I was happy, Mr. Kay and Ronnie laughed softly. Wagamama, did I say that? Even Ronnie is going to the game, and I might have been sorry to take the time to train.

"Ronnie's just grown up and fights adults, right? Don't you get nervous with all the strong enemies around you? Uh, are you sure you want me to go out with you?

I was worried and I asked her that, and Ronnie replied with a fluttering laugh.

"I'm sure you won't win, I think. But I have a challenge, and I do. And I'm not willing to lose easily."

Then he gently stroked my head and told me he was fine because watching the two train was one of the trainings.

"Oh well. All right. Well, let's all do our best!

Aska, who was watching us like that, tells him so cheerfully as he cleans up the empty dishes. To go with that, me and Ronnie, too. Oh, and I lifted my fist and laughed.... And Aska, when did you finish eating?

We all head to the training place for a slow walk with a post-meal break. Anything, they even have a dedicated training area for the tournament. Of course, Ortus is in charge.

"Wow, I thought it was amazing, but it's still amazing"

"Hey, that feeling? This is crazy!

I couldn't help but feel honest when I stepped into the training ground. Aska laughed at me... but no, 'cause I really do.

The building itself is just a cabin, but there's no way Ortus can end it. Naturally, fixed different space magic is being planted, and when the door is opened, there is plenty of room for light exercise. Or, too! The room is divided for each guild so it doesn't get screwed up! Because it's training, some people are unfamiliar with the idea that they will come more relaxed than they do.

Of course, it's possible to invite someone from another guild we met here to train. We also have a room for these people. Isn't that amazing, Ortus! It's not like I thought about it, and I'm not ready for it, but it makes my nose high. Hmm.

So, of course, we came to a room dedicated to Ortus. Or it's a training ground. Behind at, Brother Juma and the other two competing were moving their bodies. Wow, you have to stare at it. It's too fast to capture what you're doing. I knew it was amazing.

"Ha! Can Ronnie move like that too...?

You're going into the adult division, otherwise you won't be able to get fat. That Ronnie was getting that strong too, before I knew it!?

"I don't know if I can move like that... maybe?

"Wow, wow! Ronnie, you've been working so hard on your training!

When I complimented him, Ronnie shyly scratched his cheek with her index finger. It's itchy.

"All right, let's do our best too!

"Ooh! Let's start with the prep movement!

Our motivation switches on because we know how everyone is doing and about Ronnie. Aska and I started off on the stretch quickly. Untie your body thoroughly, perform prep exercises, and run gently. It's a little narrow to run, but for that matter, you just have to go around!

It's a little embarrassing for the Juma brothers to smile at Nico every time we go by... but I'm also glad to see you're getting support. By the way, Ronnie's been hanging out with me so far. Looks like you're keeping up with our pace. Really, sweet.

"Why don't you both try a mock fight? The referee is Ronald. Judgment will be a good study."

"Mm-hmm. Okay."

At the end of a street-up, Kay has made such a suggestion. A mock fight... maybe this is the first time I've done it with Asuka. We were training together, though!

"Wow! Don't cry if I win, okay? Meg!"

"Mm, Aska, that's our line!

I also say back that I lost to Asuka, who so happily declared. We are smiling at each other. I'm not saying it in a mean way, but each is a serious line. Because Aska is my rival!

"The rules, already, remember?

"Mochiron!

"Yeah, I remember!

Respond well with Aska to Ronnie's confirmation. The rules of the game in this tournament. This was decided after consultation between the guilds. Both the adult and minor sectors are the same.

One, the use of weapons is prohibited. Instead, I don't care what sorcery you use. One, the condition of victory is to take the opponent out of the venue, if the opponent loses consciousness, or admits to losing. One, no attacks that are life-threatening. One, the game time limit is until the sand falls on the hourglass to be used only in the tournament. Father said, let's take about forty minutes. Hey, isn't it long? You don't even pinch a break, do you? When I heard about it, they gave me back my subhuman strength. It's shorter than that, I think.

But if it's any longer, the tournament won't be over, so that's how reasonable it is. Is that true? Some games end in an instant, and some games seem to take a lot of time. I'm scared either way.

And then this is it. It looks like a butterfly, not yet. Me? I just feel butterfly! Wow! But don't cry, 'cause you work hard! By the way, in the case of the draw, it's up to the judges, the representatives of each guild, to discuss it. Violations of the rules are guaranteed if the top of the guild is on the lookout, and safety measures are perfect because of the installation of magic props! That magic prop is also a huge thing. I love you...... there are too many amazing things.

"Well, shall we try? Both of you, get ready, get ready?

I just checked the rules in my head, Ronnie's signal. All right, even though it's a mock fight, I'll do my best -! Nice to meet you, Spirits!
