It was getting dark, and the neon lights of Ravilton were becoming more and more visible.

　Under the full moon shining brightly in the sky, we headed down the main street to the central square.

　When we arrived at the central square, it seemed that the venue had already been set up.
　The audience was gradually gathering.

　In terms of time, I was not too late.
　I was about to head backstage with the kids, but...

"There he is!

　At that moment, I heard the familiar voice of a woman coming from somewhere.

　I looked around and saw a small figure running towards us.
　Behind her, several black-clad bodyguards followed.

　It's Liselle, the owner of Liselle's Armor Shop, an elven designer and craftsman.

　However, there is a hint of dark circles around her eyes.

　She looked a little pale when I met her in the morning to pick up the Shroud of Light, but it seems like she's getting worse.
　Don't tell me it's a pattern of not sleeping since last night. ......?

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

What's wrong, Miss Liesel? I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the shading necklace works just fine.

Well, ......, that's good. And while you're at it, why don't you take this as well?

　Liselle instructed one of the black-clad men.

　The black dresser took out a costume from a bag in his hand.
　He then walked over to Ur and handed it to her.

"What's ...... this, ......?

　When Uru received the costume, she was stunned, and Liselle said, "This is your stage costume for today.

It's your stage outfit for today. It's also a great way to get the most out of your time and money.

What is ......?　I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　Uru shouts in surprise.

　I was surprised, too.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　Liesel, on the other hand, says without hesitation.

That's right. I've been up all night making them, and I made you make them, so you can wear them on stage today and dance. Mr. Gardon told me. This is your big day, isn't it?　Then you should be dressed to the nines. What's more, if you only rent a costume, it will be inferior to the three costumes I made for you.

　With that, Liselle looked at Rio, Iris, and Maifa.

　The armor she made and gave to the three of them is also their costume for today's stage.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it. Everything is just like a dream. ....... Thank you very much. I can't thank you enough.

"No, don't worry about it. I'm doing this because I want to. In return, I want you to give me a good performance today. ...... I'm looking forward to it. ......

"Oops.

　I'm not sure if it's because she's accomplished her mission, but she almost fell over, and I helped her up.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

　Liselle only lost consciousness for a moment and staggered to her feet, supported by the black clothes.

　The black coats said, "You're being too reckless, Miss Liselle! "Please take care of yourself! But Liselle said, "...... Shut up. Are you my mother or something?　I'm not sure what to do with it.

　...... It's like a hobbyist who forgets to eat and sleep because he is so absorbed in his hobby.
　Liesel is also a very strange person.
　It's hard on the people around her.

　Then Liesel wandered over to a special audience area in front of the stage, and sat down on one of the seats as if she were collapsing.
　She collapsed onto the seat and began to breathe heavily, as if she had run out of energy.

　On the seat next to Liselle, there was another familiar, stocky figure sitting on the seat.

　The dwarf craftsman Gardon sniffs at Liselle, who has fallen asleep in the seat next to him.
　I wondered if he too had come to see today's performance.

I'm going to go say hello to Mr. Gardon, too!

　And with that, Uru runs off at a trot.

　And as Uru bowed her head again and again in front of Galdon, Galdon patted the girl's head affectionately.

　And then there was...

"Oh, brother. Isn't that the old man from the bakery where Uru works?

　Rio pointed to a large, macho bakery owner and his wife.

　I wonder if those two came to see Uru's performance.
　Unlike the shouting match at the bakery, the couple seemed to be on good terms today.

　When Ulu finds them, he goes to greet them as well.
　Ulu was also patted on the head by the bakery couple.

The bakery couple also patted him on the head. "Sir ......, I like that kind of thing. Ur-chan, you've got a lot of people supporting you.

　Iris leaned in close to me and I put my hand on her head.

"Yeah, I guess so. And by the way, I'll give you a hundred cheers for Iris and the others, so don't worry.

"Heh heh. Please do, doctor.



　Iris's cheeks flush a little and she smiles up at me.
　It's just another day, and you're so cute, yeah.

"Hey, bro, ......!　I'm going to do my best too!　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this subject in the future.

I'd like to be popped on the head like Iris. ...... Brother, I'd like to be popped on the head like Iris too. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

　In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.

　In the meantime, Uru came back.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that our greetings are over,......, and that the three of you and Brett are still as goofy as ever,.......

　Uru's face seemed a little drawn as she said this.

　Anyway, that's it.
　With all the preparations in place, it was time to head to the stage.

　I shouted to my four students, including Uru.

"Well then, you four, show us what you've been practicing. And, since you're here, have fun.

「「「「 Yes! 」」」」

　Then the four of them ran backstage.

　It seemed that there were about ten other groups standing by backstage.

　It was quite thrilling to think that our kids would be competing with that many kids for the best performance on stage.

　Meanwhile, I looked for a good place to watch the stage and moved to it.

　Then another person walks up to me.

　It was a woman in a patrol uniform.
　She didn't seem to be accompanied by two hoodlums today, just one.

"Good evening, teacher of the Academy of the Brave. Thank you very much for yesterday. Thanks to you, one of the big problems this town was having has been solved. That's why we can hold an event like this without worry.

　The policewoman standing next to me bowed to me.
　I responded with a slight smile.

"Good evening, patrol chief. I don't know what you're talking about, but as a visitor to this city, I'm glad to hear it. My students have been looking forward to this event.

"Well, that's good to hear. I'm glad to hear that, but I'm wondering if some well-meaning tourists don't want anyone to know what they've done. If you reveal who did the work, there's a chance you'll get a commendation and a special reward.

"But what the traveler actually did, even though it was outside the city, was to bash into the residences of local residents who had not yet been charged with a crime. Isn't that a difficult thing to do?　It's a good thing they found the bad stuff inside the house by accident. Socially, we can't justify using any means to achieve an end.

"Well, actually, I do... ....... I'm so sorry!　And thank you!　If we ever meet again, I'll make it up to you in some way.

"I don't think you need to worry about it. I'm sure the traveler was just doing it for his own reasons.

Yeah, okay. It won't do you any good, but I'll always remember that there was a hero who saved innocent civilians from those villains. Thank you so much!

　The policewoman looked at me and said "See you later" and left.
　She seemed to be a light-hearted person, but she was surprisingly polite, wasn't she?

　And so the time passed.

　Eventually, the time for the stage arrived.
