It's fluffy. It is round and thick. The center of the cloth is a dark barley color, and the outline of the cloth is a little whitish. There are five overlapping layers of this fabric. It's like a tower. At the top of the tower, there is an icy confectionery that is slowly melted by the heat of the dough. The dough itself was also drizzled with concentrated amber-colored sap, drawing beautiful patterns.

''Fluffy!''

　Kash's eyes, holding a knife and fork, are like twinkling stars.
　Her ears that flutter around. And Kash looks at me and - Nicola.

'Ho, really, is it okay to eat?

　We nodded at the same time.

'Of course.'

It's why we're here, you know. Please enjoy your meal.

　Nicola looks slightly princely when she talks to Kash.

''So, then........''

　Kash brings the pancakes, cut into slice size pieces, to his little mouth.

　Snap. Munching. Poof.
　He puts it in his mouth, chews it, and smiles. Every gesture is cute.

　Perhaps thinking the same thing, Nicola-san also relaxed her expression.

''Fufu, you eat so happily. It makes me happy to see you.''

Hey, hey, hey!

　Well.

　We are at a cafe recommended by Nicola.
　We were seated on the terrace, enjoying the sweetness of the sun.
　Nicolas had a parfait. I had a cheesecake.

　Passersby stopped to look at Nicolas-san and admire her beauty, and some of them just walked in.
　I'm sure they were interested in the fact that such a beautiful person is eating so well.
　A beautiful person can also attract customers........wow.

'So, Nicola-san.

Ugh, yeah.

　Nicola gently wiped her lips with her finger as she sipped her ice cream.

'Can you listen to me while I eat?'

Hi, nice to meet you.

　Like the combination of the two of them, etc., there are some things we need to check first.
　I heard that we will be playing with it ourselves, but what kind of image will be used to bring Nikola's magical body (avatar) to the demon?
　We also need to think about what Nikola-san and I can and want to do to attract the audience's attention.

Nicola-san has a contract with an earth spirit, right?　I wonder if I'm using the spirit arts to control that white and silver.

Yeah. It's the piece of the earth. This piece of silver is the only piece of silver that I can create, reshape and move at will.

　I was allowed to watch the old footage, and if Nicola is the middle guard now, she was once the vanguard.
　Moreover, it seems that she preferred to fight in a fist fight, at super close range. She would let the white silver clothe her body.

　By concentrating it on her arms, she could make it look like a giant's fist, or she could thrust it out of the ground as an enormous shield when the enemy attacked.
　It was a bold use that is unimaginable from now on.

'I don't want this to be taken as racist, but basically, today's viewers don't like to see girls in 'pain'. I don't care if it's the kind of damage that gets you out of the fight in one blow, the way it was originally done, it tends to be a wild fight, doesn't it?

　Some people can't see how 'painful' it is, regardless of gender, but there are a surprisingly large number of people who are excited about a man's beating, but not about a woman getting hurt.

'Umm, yeah...'

　'Shovel,' says Nicola, her shoulders slumping.

'But there are examples like Mr. Helvall's, though.

　Poof, Nicola's face lights up.

'Yes!　Mr. Leme likes Mr. Helvall!　I decided to be a hero when I saw her.　When I was little, you know, people would say things to me because I was a girl, but when I saw her fight, I thought, 'Oh, gender is such a trivial thing!'

　Helvall. She is the hero of the Demon Sword, and is the female hero who leads the third-ranked party in the world.

　She is the descendant of a brave man who killed some demon king a long time ago, and wields the demon sword Tilving, which is said to bring misfortune to its owner, passed down from generation to generation. No, she rarely wields it.

　She basically fights with her bare hands. You can even cut the heads of Orcs and werewolves to pieces with it.
　That's probably why she's called "Mighty Warriors" or "Mighty Berserkers".

　She's a very beautiful woman, but she's not the kind of beauty that makes people cheer yellow like Nicola's, "I'll follow you for the rest of your life! It's a cool beauty that makes me want to shout, "I'm not going to be able to do that.

'I love that guy's attack, too. It's heightened when you see it. There's this kind of excitement, like you can feel the heat of the blood flowing through you.

　The last time I said hello to him, for some reason, he stared at me from top to bottom, right? Then he said "Hmm...." meaningfully, but what was it?

　When I asked him about it, he told me it was nothing, so it's still a mystery in the end.
　By the way, I said to Fenix, "How about you put your sword away once in a while and hit him with your flaming fist? He advised. Advice.....?　Maybe it's a hobby.

'Mmm-hmm!　Just like that!　I've always wanted to be like that, you know?

　Nicola-san's expression sinks.

　Indeed, I can see that Philip-san has changed direction.
　Nicola-san is dainty.

　You can emphasize her dignity by playing with her magical body (avatar), but it's difficult to make her look wild. I'm not allowed to alter my avatar in such a way that it can't be recognized as my real person, so I can't change the image I get from my face and physique.

　But admiration isn't always something you hold because it's close to you.
　Even if they are far away, even if they are in conflict with each other, you can still be attracted to them. It's possible to want to get close to them.
　If you can't get rid of it, what can you do with the thought?

'The convention, you know, I've read the regulations.

Yeah, yeah. .........Reme, you're a serious person, aren't you? I think that's what I like about you.

"Have you read it, Nicola?

It's all written in... a lot of... writing... all over the place. It's all very general.

No, it's okay. I understand. Probably a lot of people haven't read the whole thing.

　I know what it's like to see something like that and it's depressing.

'I read something interesting in relation to the magical body (avatar).

Is it funny?

That's pretty cool. I don't know how they got permission for this. Magical bodies (avatars) aren't allowed to be altered in such a way that they can't be identified, right?

Yeah.

　The magic body (avatar) itself is used not only for dungeon attacks, but also for working in dangerous places.
　In fact, the connection time is fixed, so it's not possible to stay connected for a long time... but this is okay.

　Anyway, you are only allowed to modify your avatar as long as you can be identified as the person in question.
　But this time, it has been granted, albeit on a limited basis.
　In other words.

'For tournament participation only, we're increasing the number of items allowed to change your magical body (avatar). In other words, even a slender person can become a muscular person - even a full human (normal) can change their body into a completely different demon.
