God’s Guide for Teasing Heroes

Chapter 111: Goddess’ Reward and Let’s Duel



 

  

Narrator POV 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

Kazue has completed the task given to her by the God of Judgement. 

The task... 

It was to protect the Oracle of the Goddess of Life and Death. 

As a reward, it seemed that the goddess of Life had gifted Kazue a new companion. 

At the moment, Kazue is playing with her new companion. 

  

  

-kaw- -kaw- 

"You like the name right? Kurow~" <Kazue> 

The crow on Kazue's arm cawed as if happy being called by its new name. 

With a grin, she looked at Calm as if teasing her. 

-sigh- 

Calm knew that the crow was happy to be called by its name. 

Still, she cannot accept that the name was a simple lame pun. 

Calm shakes her head in defeat and lets the name go as is. 

  

  

Rio, who was with them, asked about Kazue's new companion. 

"And so? What is up with that crow?"  <Rio> 

"Oh... it's my new familiar... apparently." <Kazue> 

"New familiar? When? How?" <Rio> 

"Oh, it's a reward from the goddess to Kazue for protecting me." <Kazue> 

"Hooo~~ a reward from a goddess..." <Rio> 

-kaw- 

  

  

"But I wonder why would the goddess gift me with this creature?" <Kazue> 

To answer Kazue, Calm explained the reason why the goddess gifted Kazue a new familiar. 

"She said she wanted to give you something to help you in your adventures. And so she gave you Kurow-chan." <Calm> 

"Hee..." <Kazue> 

Curious about what Kurow could do, Kazue opened her status window using the guild ring. 

Using the feature of the guild ring to show her familiar stats by swiping through the window, she looked at Kurow's status window. 

This also confirmed that Kurow became one of her familiars as her status window appeared there, as Isamu, Kaori, and Hayate did.

Kazue studied Kurows ability. 

[No matter how you look at it, Kurow is a perfect familiar for support.] <Kazue> 

Kazue thought Kurow's ability perfectly synergized with Kazue and the other familiars. 

Kurow seemed to have no significant skills to attack by herself, but her support skills would make up for everything she lacked. 

Kurow has abilities perfect for support. 

  

  

"Oh, so the crow can support? What kind of support?" <Rio> 

"Hmnn... Kurow can heal and cast buff. I guess she can be used for scouting, too." <Kazue> 

"Hmnn~ that's nice. I hope I can have familiars too." <Rio> 

"I hope you can, having familiars is very nice. I would love to see you have one later." <Kazue> 

  

  

While Kazue and Rio were chatting. 

The guards announced the arrival of the lady of the house. 

A beautiful blonde lady wearing her infamous drill roll hairstyle. 

The lady also wears her battle armor, a full metal armor with visible blue outline designs. 

She landed on the ground right before the gate entrance of the mansion's vicinity. 

As the mansion was quite large, she still had to walk for some time to reach it. 

  

  

"Welcome back, our lady." <Guard> 

The guards in the front gate bowed at their lady as she entered the gate. 

She is a prideful lady with a cute face that does not suit her demeanor. 

If one is to describe the lady by just looking at how she looked. 

She has an adorable and innocent face. 

Her hairstyle, as well as her attitude, is the complete opposite of how she looked. 

People will think how unfortunate it is that the lady is a prideful noble, not an innocent, warm-hearted noble lady. 

  

  

The lady walked toward the mansion and saw three girls and some monsters playing on the lawn. 

"Ara~ Kazue, you're up already? I thought you would sleep the entire day." <Alicia> 

"Ahaha... No, I've already slept long enough. Thank you, Miss Alicia." <Kazue> 

"Ohohohoho~" <Alicia> 

Her signature high-pitched ojou-sama laughter reverberated in the room. 

"You don't have to thank me. You are my guest, and as a guest of the Azurearozi, I will ensure you have no trouble while staying here in my mansion." <Alicia> 

Kazue bowed at her to show her thanks and respect. 

  

  

"Welcome back, Alicia-sama." <Calm> 

Calm also greets Alicia while bowing her head, just like Kazue. 

Rio, who was also there, bowed without saying a word. 

  

  

"humu~ How are you feeling, miss Calm?" <Alicia> 

"I'm feeling great, Alicia-sama, all thanks to you and the people working in the mansion. I don't feel any discomfort whatsoever." <Calm> 

"Humu. I am glad to hear that." <Alicia> 

"What about you, Miss Alicia? Did something happen in the city?" <Calm> 

"Nothing really~" <Alicia> 

  

  

Alicia had been working with the adventurer guild to deal with the remaining problems in the city. 

As Alicia herself is an A-rank adventurer, she has many responsibilities in the guild. 

As one of the highest-ranking adventurers in the city, she had been asked to deal with many problems. 

Alicia is also one of the significant people who contributed to the defeat of Ecclesia and their forces during the invasion. 

Thus, she had been swamped these days and barely returned home. 

She only returned to rest or to instruct the people in the mansion. 

  

  

"Thank you for the hard work." <Kazue and Calm> 

Both Kazue and Calm said to Alicia. 

They both wanted to thank Alicia for doing her work. 

They understood that even now, Alicia was indirectly working to keep them safe. 

Kazue and her friends barely had to do anything despite being at the center of this invasion. 

All work was taken care of by Alicia. 

She Deals with the remaining intruders in the city. 

She worked on the clean-up after the invasion. 

She toiled on the reports and paperwork. 

  

  

Kazue and her friends had nothing to do but sit still and wait until everything was finished. 

As proof of that, the Otaku boys are loitering around the city to look for exciting things to do. 

Yuma and Coco visited Koccur to settle some personal errands. 

Nikko and Matsuo are shopping in the Scale atelier for their future adventures. 

Aside from Aaron and Argent. 

Everyone had nothing else to do. 

Aaron is leading the investigation of the members of the church. 

He looked into them to ensure that no one in the church had a relationship with Ecclesia. 

Argent is also working with Alicia as he is an A-rank adventurer. 

They are tasked to deal with the remaining intruders in the city. 

  

  

"Ohohoho~ anyway. My help is no longer needed, so I'm back." <Alicia> 

"Oh! That's good to hear." <Kazue> 

"The city is relatively safe now. You guys can walk around the city if you want. Just remember to bring some guards with you as you go." <Alicia> 

"Really! That's great!" <Calm> 

Calm excitedly exclaimed hearing this. 

"Well then, I shall excuse myself." <Alicia> 

Alicia turned around and left while crying out her annoying high-pitched laughter as she waved goodbye. 

"Ohohoho~" <Alicia> 

  

  

Alicia entered the mansion. 

Kazue bowed her head again at the lady to express her heartful thanks. 

If it was not for her, she could have never protected Calm. 

She was thinking of how to return the favor to her in the future. 

"Fufufu~ Miss Alicia is truly an interesting person, isn't she?" <Calm> 

"Ha ha ha... that may be true." <Kazue> 

"I-i, I believe she's not a bad p-p-person." <Rio> 

Kazue and Calm nod to Rio's words. 

  

  

After playing for a little bit more with the familiars, the three returned to the mansion. 

Although they were excited to explore the city, as the lady said, they thought that they might as well do it once everyone was back. 

  

  

Two more days passed. 

It was nothing but peaceful. 

The threat in the city had been dealt with. 

The city's residents decided to launch a big festival to celebrate their victory. 

As the king was confident that the whole thing was over, he initiated this and pushed through the plan. 

Right away, a festival opened in the city. 

The lost smiles of the citizens came back, and the city was lively once again. 

The capital city of Riles, The "City of boundless Love," Vestir is regaining its former liveliness. 

  

  

In the city, the atmosphere was no longer heavy. 

It was as if the people were waiting for this celebration. 

They wanted to see the city back to its former glory. 

No longer under the threat of war, Vestir had become filled with life again. 

  

  

The city has a festive feel. 

Stands, stalls, and many performances can be seen within the city. 

The streets are filled with happy people. 

Soldiers, adventurers, nobles, merchants, and commoners are enjoying the festivities. 

  

  

Night time. 

It was a perfect time for Kazue and the others to enjoy their time. 

They all went out together with guards protecting Calm. 

They all wore casual clothes. 

With how Calm was dressed now, no one would know that the girl wearing a casual dress was the saint. 

Despite showing her face to many people the night before, no one will be able to recognize her if she is dressed like this. 

Still, Calm will attract a lot of attention because of her natural beauty. 

  

  

Standing next to Calm is her loyal knight, Aaron Van Zelle. 

He was also wearing casual clothes matching Calm's attire. 

At a glance, one can tell that they came to the festival together with matching colored clothes. 

It's like the two came to the festival wearing matching clothes. 

Meanwhile, the other guards were walking nearby wearing casual clothes as well. 

Unlike Aaron and Calm, they did not look like they came in groups. 

Rather they looked like they were some commoners enjoying the festivities while in fact, they were guarding the saint as they followed both Calm and Aaron as they walked around the city. 

  

  

Kazue wanted to walk in separate ways from Calm and the guards. 

It was a good opportunity for Calm and Aaron to spend time together by themselves. 

Kazue did not want to be the third wheel between the pair. 

Still, It was unfortunate that she left her familiars back in the mansion. 

After all her familiars will attract too much attention, and in addition, her family is not comfortable around people. 

Since this festival had more people than usual, her familiars would be uncomfortable if they ever came. 

Plus, Kazue wanted to enjoy this festival for herself. 

She couldn't do it well if she had to look over her familiars. 

Thus, Kazue thought it was best for them to stay at home. 

  

  

Kazue and the others went in separate ways to enjoy the festival. 

They look forward to enjoying an "Otherworld" festival for the first time. 

Still, they brought their weapons just in case. 

Since they were adventurers and it was normal for people to carry a weapon, they did not look suspicious in any way. 

After all, this festival is to show that the city is "safe". 

No one other than people with ill intentions would cause trouble during the festival. 

If that happens, the guards will deal with them. 

Plus, the city is filled with adventurers and soldiers having a good time. 

If someone wanted to cause trouble, they would be surrounded in no time and might not have any opportunity to make trouble even if they tried. 

  

  

When the group was about to go on separate ways, Kazue decided to tease the pair one last time. 

"Aaron-san! Hold on to Calm's hands and never let go!" <Kazue> 

"K-k-k-k-kazue-chan?!" <Calm> 

Kazue held Aaron and Calm's hands together and forcibly made the two hold each other's hands. 

  

  

"What's the problem, Calm?" <Kazue> 

Kazue asked Calm, who had a bright red face, holding into Aaron's hands. 

Aaron was the same. 

He was blushing as he was trying his best to hide his face. 

Kazue has a mischievous smile. 

[That's right, you two. It's the perfect opportunity for you to have a quality "bonding" time.] 

  

  

Kazue, knowing both Calm and Aaron had some complicated relationship, is making a scenario for the two to enjoy the city's festive atmosphere. 

She even purposely chose matching clothes for the two. 

She even asked the guards to be considerate of the two so that they could have a good time. 

The guards, who are mostly people who knew the saint and Aaron well knew what Kazue wanted to do. 

They agreed to help create a good atmosphere for the two to enjoy the festival. 

[It's a perfect time for these two to have a "date."] 

She thought. 

  

  

We are making it a reason for "guarding" the saint. 

Kazue asked Aaron never to let go of Calm's hands during this walk. 

Aaron was in his casual clothes, and so was Calm. 

Kazue made sure to make the atmosphere between the two close to a romantic date as much as possible. 

Knowing Kazue's plan, the others willingly helped make this a reality. 

  

  

The group started to enjoy the festival. 

Kazue secretly watches Calm, and Aaron enjoys the place from afar. 

They visited food stalls and game stalls and watched performances as they ate the food. 

Calm and Aaron were showing genuine smiles. 

It was as if the two came back to their kid self. 

The two were very close, even back then. 

Aaron and Calm also felt as if they came back to the time when they were still kids. 

They would laugh and do pranks to keep each other company. 

  

  

  

Kazue clasped her hands and rubbed them together as she watched the sweet atmosphere between Calm and Aaron. 

She savored the moments between the two. 

Seeing the two blush from time to time was the appetizers. 

Seeing the two acting shy as they get comfortable with each other's company was the side dish. 

Seeing the two in a cute couple-like situation was the main dish. 

Seeing the smiles and moments shared was the appetizer. 

This is while Calm and Aaron do not realize that their hands never let go of each other. 

As if they were a perfect fit in a puzzle. 

Neither of them let go of each other's hands during the festival. 

Everyone around them watched them with warm eyes. 

"Thanks for the food." <Kazue> 

  

  

As Kazue was finished watching the two, she decided to leave them to each other alone. 

After all, Aaron is capable of protecting Calm all by himself. 

Everyone knows that he is one of the strongest individuals out here. 

Alicia was around, and so was Argent. 

Other strong guards are around Calm. 

There was no need for Kazue to guard Calm. 

[At last, I can enjoy myself. I will have a good time for myself.] 

Kazue thought as she left Calm in Aaron's care. 

  

  

In the streets were all kinds of stalls. 

All kinds of "Food" stalls. 

All kinds of "Entertainment" stalls. 

All kinds of "Daily Goods" stalls. 

As such, some potion stalls sold all kinds of stuff. 

Kazue looked around for interesting things to buy. 

After all, she will not stay in Vestir forever. 

She will leave eventually and do adventuring again. 

Thus, she looked for helpful stuff for the future. 

  

  

Potion. 

Tools. 

Equipments. 

Everything was being sold at the festival. 

They were also cheaper than usual, having all kinds of bargains. 

The Scale atelier even had a surprise "sale" event to celebrate the festivities. 

Seeing all of this, Kazue was very enthusiastic to look around. 

She was excited to discover a "nice find" tonight. 

  

  

"Let's go!" <Kazue> 

She was determined to spend a lot of her money tonight. 

  

  

Kazue enjoyed the festival by looking for things to buy. 

She bought all kinds of goods and all kinds of foods as she walked around. 

At that point, she separated from the group to enjoy the festival to herself. 

It was her, rewarding herself for doing a good job for all the things that happened as she stayed here in Vestir. 

  

  

In the same way, the group seemed to have separated leaving only the guards with Aaron and Calm. 

In a way, it is how they indirectly express their cooperation to further Calm and Aaron's relationship. 

Thus they all decided to watch the pair from afar. 

  

  

Yuma and Coco went on without the others as the two went on their own. 

They wanted to enjoy the festival with the two of them. 

This is especially true when Yuma is recognized by Coco's father as his daughter's mate. 

Naturally, they wanted to deepen their bond as a couple using this occasion. 

Just as they left Aaron and Calm, no one wanted to get in between them as well. 

The atmosphere in the city even encourages everyone to be in this mood. 

The festival is nothing less romantic for those who want to enjoy it as romantic partners. 

Yuma and Coco are one of the best examples of such a pair. 

This city is built to have such an atmosphere. 

Beautiful scenery, wonderful spots, memorable and exciting stalls that can be enjoyed by couples, and a romantic atmosphere as couples are scattered all over the place. 

After all, this is the city of "Boundless Love".  

  

  

Nikko, Daisetsu, Naonobu, and Yoshiaga went together as a group. 

The boys seemed to have bonded a lot during this happening. 

Although Nikko might not be as interested in the same thing as the Otaku boys are interested in, his sword, Matsuo Masahi is the same kind of person as the Otaku boys. 

It can be said that the otaku boys created a bond with Nikko's sword who was an otaku in his past life before he got reincarnated into a sword. 

Naturally, Nikko also formed a bond of friendship with the otaku boys thanks to his sword's interest in the Anime culture. 

  

  

The group was talking about how demi-humans are Moe. 

They talked about their preferences when it comes to demi-human. 

Topic as such, which demi-human is the best partner to have as a mate. 

They talk about interesting stuff such as the possible application of "game-like" mechanics in this reality. 

They talked about monsters and how to deal with them while comparing them to their world's "In-game" counterparts. 

They also cursed at the "Normies" who were enjoying the festival with their respective "partners". 

In a place famous for romantic meetings, the city of "Boundless Love", those who still have yet to find their partners will have to watch in envy. 

  

  

It was unfortunate for this group as this city is called the "City of Boundless Love", many people find their beloved in this place. 

They were unfortunate to watch people actually forming such bonds in the festival. 

The boys wanted such an encounter in this place, unfortunately at the end of this festival none of them will be able to be blessed with such an encounter. 

As such they also cursed at the normies in the group Yuma and Coco. 

As well they envied Aaron who was getting along with the saint. 

  

  

Rio, just like Kazue wanted to enjoy the festival by herself. 

People like her and Kazue enjoy such festivities alone. 

They are introverts, who prefer the lack of human interaction. 

They have a world of their own able to enjoy such festivities even without a companion. 

Of course, if Rio would have to be with someone while looking around the streets it would be Kazue. 

Unfortunately, Kazue herself is like Rio who prefers to enjoy things alone. 

Maybe, they could meet up later and talk about the things they saw as they loiter around on their own. 

In the end, Rio experienced the festival in her own way. 

  

  

While loitering around, Rio even saw a familiar face. 

A former classmate, someone who was not with them during the invasion. 

A brown-haired girl wearing clothes worn by someone who has the "Thief" job class. 

It was Uesaka Shino. 

She was loitering in the city with several people. 

These people were the ones who worked with her to deal with the intruders and monsters in the city during the invasion. 

It seemed that they went out to see the festival to have a good time. 

  

  

Some time passed. 

At the center of the city where the plaza was located. 

The center of the city where the adventurers guild, the scale atelier building, and the church building of the "Church of Life" religion were located. 

There, A large encirclement of people was standing in a circle to see some spectacle. 

They gathered around encircling the large open plaza where they all gathered to evacuate during the invasion. 

It was a pretty large open area, now left empty. 

The area was reserved for adventurers and soldiers. 

  

  

Curious, Rio looked at why people would gather around the plaza. 

There she saw that the place was reserved for individual wanting to test their ability against their peers. 

At the center of the plaza, people were watching people fight. 

In there, adventurers and soldiers are having friendly duels while people watch them.  

  

  

1 versus 1. 

Duo versus duo 

Group versus group. 

Soldier versus soldiers. 

Adventurer versus adventurers. 

Soldiers versus adventurers. 

People watch adventurers and soldiers fight as a form of entertainment. 

All fights that were presented in the plaza were exhibition matches. 

A friendly match among fighters who wanted to test their skills against their peers. 

Killing is prohibited and no one went overboard. 

Still, people enjoyed watching them fight. 

Well, safety is assured as high-ranking adventurers are overlooking the fights nearby. 

As proof of this, the barrier was cast so that people outside the battlefield would not be affected by stray attacks from the people fighting there. 

People can spectate battles without worries. 

  

  

Nearby, Kazue was also watching the matches while eating as different kinds of skewers were being held in her hands. 

Her bag was full of items that she bought from many stalls. 

A mask was hanging on her head resembling the one that Argent wore. 

Anyone who sees Kazue right now will think that she is really enjoying the festival in her own way. 

She was like a kid who was given a lot of allowance to spend during a festival and ended up buying everything that interested her without any limits. 

As Rio saw Kazue she had a thought... 

  

  

A little more time after that, Kazue finished all the food she carried. 

She too was enjoying the fights happening inside the barrier surrounding the plaza. 

The fight was interesting as strong adventurers and soldiers were participating. 

Some of the participants were even weaker than Kazue. 

Only a few battles featured fighters stronger than Kazue herself. 

Kazue watches while thinking. 

[Oh, I think I can beat that guy if we fight.] 

[That one is strong, I want to fight him too.] 

[Uwah, that one is too strong, I will get my ass kicked if I tried to fight them myself. Still, I want to try fighting them too.] 

While eating and enjoying the foods she bought in random stalls. 

  

  

Kazue suddenly has an urge to fight too. 

Since the fights were only friendly matches, Kazue wanted to fight someone herself. 

Finally. 

-poke- -poke- 

  

  

Kazue felt someone poking her from behind. 

She looked back and saw Rio, she was the one poking Kazue at her back. 

"Oh Rio, how is the festival going." <Kazue> 

"I-i-i-it's fine. I saw a lot of interesting stuff..." <Rio> 

"Me too, I saw a lot of interesting things." <Kazue> 

"Un..." <Rio> 

Rio nods as she affirms Kazue. 

Kazue looked at Rio. 

She suddenly had an Idea. 

Rio read Kazue's mind and saw that she too had the same Idea she had in mind. 

  

  

"Hey, Rio..." <Kazue> 

"..." <Rio> 

"Wanna have some PvP?" <Kazue> 

"Sure... I was about to ask you the same thing..." <Rio> 

Kazue's eyes rounded as she was surprised that Rio was about to ask the same thing. 

To add to that, her attitude shifted from her normal timid attitude, and now Rio is in her serious mode. 

A state where Rio shifts from a timid silent girl into a battle-ready assassin. 

  

  

Rio and Kazue went to see the organizer of the battles and asked to do a duel in front of many people. 

Easily enough, the organizer scheduled them to fight later on. 

The organizer asked Kazue and Rio to go to opposite sides where the fighters were waiting before they fought. 

They both prepared for a duel. 

Kazue and Rio went to their respective corners. 

  

  

Rio, an Assassin. 

She excels in utilizing her mobility and overall speed to her advantage in battle. 

In a duel, her other specialty, "stealth" cannot be used. 

Still, in an open area like this, she can freely use her speed to her advantage later. 

  

  

Kazue, a Swordsman. 

She excels in head-on combat and her background as a former member of the kendo club in their world made it so that she is used to fighting a sparring match. 

She is an agile fighter and has decent stats, most are higher than Rio aside from the AGI stats. 

Kazue is agile but not as agile as Rio. 

  

  

Kazue has the advantage over Rio when it comes to overall stats. 

Still, it would be foolish for Kazue to think that this would be an easy win for her. 

Rio knew this, Kazue knew this. 

They both saw each other fight when they defeated that crazy Inquisitor during the Invasion. 

This is not a one-sided match, that is why Rio agreed to duel Kazue. 

Rio's advantage is that Kazue still has no ideas about her trump card. 

Kazue has no idea that Rio can read minds and is capable of taking advantage using this secret ability. 

Rio was unable to maximize the effect of this skill during the fight with Edmon as the difference in their stats was just too great. 

As such Rio avoided up-front battle at all costs, thus not utilizing the full extent of the ability. 

She was eager to show this to Kazue. 

She wanted to show her how much she improved. 

In simple terms, she wanted to flex to Kazue the things she could do. 

At the same time, Kazue wanted to let out some steam through fighting. 

After seeing Rio in battle, Kazue knew that Rio was a worthy opponent. 

  

  

The two patiently wait for their turn to fight. 

  

  

One battle ended. 

  

  

Then another. 

  

  

Then another. 

  

  

Finally... it was their turn. 

  

  

"Up next is a battle between two female adventurers. On the red corner, D-rank adventurer, Mizusawa Kazuuuuuuueee!" <Announcer> 

An announcer announced their names as they walked into the fighting area. 

Hearing the announcer screaming her name made her feel a bit shy. 

She wished to stop him from doing so, but at the same time, there was a part of her who wanted this. 

"On the blue corner, E-rank adventurer, Ota Riiiiiiiiiioooo!" <Announcer> 

Applause can be heard from the crowd. 

  

  

"Oh~ this is two female adventurers. That's the first today?"  

"This will be a sight to see." 

"Will we see a catfight here?" 

People saw interest in seeing two female adventurers in a duel. 

Normally, female adventurers are usually healers, archers, or mages. 

Kazue who is a Swordsman and Rio who is an Assassin was quite rare sight. 

Due to this, people saw interest in their duel. 

It was unusual to see female adventurers with a job class that mainly fight in melee distance. 

  

  

Rio and Kazue stood in the middle of the fighting ground. 

The two pulled out their weapons. 

Kazue pulled out her Katana. 

Rio swung her right arm, and there appeared an Arm blade, on her left hand was a dagger. 

"Are the both of you ready?" <Announcer> 

Asked the announcer at both Kazue and Rio. 

  

  

"Hoo~ a katana user and arm blade plus dagger user. They both use unusual weapons of choice..." 

"I bet my money to the girl with the Katana." 

"I bet on the Assassin girl!" 

People started betting, and Kazue seemed to have an edge in the odds 10:8. 

It seemed that the people were basing their decision on Kazue being a D-rank adventurer while Rio is an E-rank. 

They bet on Rio because she is an "Assassin" and the "Assassin" job class was rare even amongst male adventurers. 

A rare and powerful Job class that focuses on stealth and speed. 

A job class that is generally considered to be better than the "Swordsman" job class that Kazue possesses. 

Normally, people would think that Assassins have the advantage in a fight against a swordsman. 

  

  

Assassin vs Swordsman 

E-rank vs D-rank 

No one knew who would win. 

Rio and Kazue have an idea of how strong each other is. 

Rio knew that she had an advantage in speed. 

Kazue knows that she has the advantage in almost every status aside from speed. 

Kazue is better at fighting head-on while Rio was a bit inexperience compared to Kazue in that department. 

Rio still has the advantage as Kazue still has not discovered her skill to read minds. 

The two have plans on their heads on how to approach this friendly match. 

  

  

Hearing the names of familiar people in the magically amplified voice of the announcer caught the attention of the people who knew the participants of the next match. 

As the announcer who is also the acting referee was explaining the rules to both girls, the people who knew them went to the plaza to see what was up. 

Calm and Aaron. 

Yuma and Coco. 

Nikko and the otaku boys. 

Argent and Alicia. 

They all went to watch the match between Rio and Kazue. 

  

  

"Give each other some space before we start the match." <Announcer> 

Both girls walked away from each other until they were a distance apart. 

As the referee saw that the distance between the two girls was good enough he started his count. 

"Are both sides ready?" <Announcer> 

Rio and Kazue were ready and nodded at the announcer and referee of the match. 

"In the count of 10. 10,9,8,7,6... " <Announcer> 

Both posed into their preferred stance. 

  

  

 

 

"3,2,1. FIGHT!" <Announcer>
