I am looking forward to seeing you again. I will always be waiting for your visit. ......

　I nodded my head so that she would not notice it, and said, "Oh, yes, of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I nodded and said, "Yes, yes, of course. I hope you are well, Mr. Mayor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, of course. Kaya and I wish you a safe trip.

Thank you very much. Well then--thank you very much for your help!

　"Gogo!　I turned into a firebird and soared into the night sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the same with the Dragon Slayer, but I had indeed become too famous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought it was time to move on and decided to leave today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, the residents think of me as Hinokami-sama, so I had to set out in such a public place, but it is nice to be at the sea at night because it is quiet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I even had the illusion that I was the only one in the world, perhaps because there was no one around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, since the firebird-ness is so noticeable even during the daytime, I will have to think of some other way to fly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I'm not good at it, I'll be treated like a rare animal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have to be careful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Anyway, this is my next destination, and I hope to establish my own fighting style soon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Up until now, I had only used a dagger for chores, so I wanted to find a fighting style with a sword, spear, bow, or whatever weapon suited me best.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But with a sword, would I be covered by Elma?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, there are a lot of people who use swords, so I don't think it's anything to worry about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, about my destination, it was the martial arts city of Las Colarltas, east of Magrido - "Leolinia".

　　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇

　According to the mayor, the martial arts city of Leolinia has an arena where adventurers compete with each other's skills, and many fierce fighters gather from all over the world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, a wide variety of fighting techniques can be seen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And there are many stores in town for participants, so I am sure I will be able to find a weapon to my liking," he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So, here I am, in the rumored Leolinia. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--The crowd was so loud.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are so many people here. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I froze with my mouth open as I watched the waves of people filling the street, as if there was some kind of festival going on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Come to think of it, I heard that you get money if you win in the arena, so many people are probably there for that reason.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And perhaps that big stone structure in the center of the arena was the arena in question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What should I do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am most interested in the arena, but before that, let's see what kind of weapons they have.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heard that there are a lot of stores.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I went into a nearby armory store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there was a sign hanging in front of the store that said, "Under Preparation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was supposed to be past noon, but that's unusual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if that's the case, there was nothing I could do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll look for another restaurant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　　　　　　No, I don't know why there are so many places to eat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, why are they all "in preparation"?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was so surprised to see the 10th shop "in preparation" that I couldn't help but poke my head in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if the armory stores in this town open at night.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, but everyone seems to be heading to the arena at night, and I don't think so. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Haha ....... I wish I could have seen the weapons. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so, as I slumped my shoulders in despondency.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, um!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Someone suddenly called out to me and I looked in the direction of the voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a girl about 12 years old.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was wearing something like an apron and looked cute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if she had something to do with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I asked her at eye level so as not to scare her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is your brother looking for a weapon?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?　I'm looking for a weapon. Yes, but all the stores are closed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said with a wry smile, the girl clasped her hands in front of her chest, "So, if you are looking for a weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, why don't you come to your mother's store?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Your mother's store?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," she said. Fio's mother runs a weapons store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, this girl's name is Fio.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I mean, isn't your mom's shop getting ready too?　I mean, isn't your mother's store in preparation ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, my mother's store is open for business.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm glad to hear that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But "mother's" store?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think that my mother is a blacksmith, and perhaps her husband, who was the owner, has passed away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And even this small child was voluntarily looking for customers in order to earn a living by selling the remaining weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was all in my own imagination, but I had a feeling that something like that was going on, and it would be nice if I could help out, even if only a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that in mind, I decided to ask Fio to show me around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But....

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm Fio's mother and my name is Leia. Well, take as much time as you want.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The woman waiting for me there was an older woman carrying a big hammer, and she was muscular to no end.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if I imagined it, but I now understood how people feel when they get ripped off at a bar.
