The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

... that's it.

In front of the café, there was a duel all night. "No, it could have been a duel or a bet on how many seconds Lao Cres would twist the challenger..."

Finally, Lao Cres, who seemed to be fed up with the boulders, said, "Let's all come together", and even then he won, so the challengers went home incredibly...

The next day, I got in touch with Laocles.

Specifically, "Sign up for a duel with Croatia."

It seems that Laocles was summoned all over the place, fighting there, stretching his opponent in a few seconds, and then being summoned to another place and fighting a duel...

"Oh, my God."

"Who do you think it is?"

"I think it's your fault." Fufufufu..... "

Laocles, who was tired, heard Crore's reply, and said, "That's right, too," and he fell down with a tired look on his face.

"At least, I wish the duel was once a week or once a month." Every day, every day, and irregularly, then Laocres' body won't hold on to it. "

"Well, then, Laocles." In the meantime, perhaps we should make a reservation for you to apply for the duel? What do you say? "

Faye and her teacher enjoy thinking that they are completely other personnel. Well, the Lao Cres duel is now a bit of a boom, like one of Soleila's entertainment. Faye and her teacher also watched the game with a drink and a pinch.

Well, Lao Cres is even more disappointed to see Faye and her teacher messing around like that.

"Well, I'm a little helpful, but some people apply to me for a duel about what went wrong." That's a bit of a problem. I don't really want to make it public that I can fight... but I can't help it, so I'm handling it with magic that's fascinating in the shadows. Besides, you've already signed up for a duel with Togo-kun. "

What the hell?

However, the moment Crore said that, Laocres raised his face.

"Ah, yeah. I'm here. Apparently, when I found out that I gave Crore a ring... well, I got an application for a duel."

But, when it comes to dueling...

"Yeah. It's okay. I win every time."

Laocles seemed worried, so I answered with my chest open.

”While the opponent holds the sword and stares at me, I'm stretching the root of the tree a little, and the moment I step out, I'm stretching it.”

"What the hell..."

I said, "I'm doing fine," but for some reason Lao Cres has started to wander off.

"What if the opponent doesn't get along?" Or, if you don't lose a lot of weight,

"At that time, the second and third roots come out."

This forest is mine, so I can't stretch my roots to protect myself. [M] It's okay. If you have to, you can stretch out your arms from a nearby tree to stop them, or you can stretch the grass at your feet to stop them.

Besides, if you were fighting like that, the people in the town would say, "Rock, Spirit of the Forest... my favorite Togo-san! This is why Sola is safe! 'It's a reputation.

In fact, I've been stretching my roots and leaves to protect Soleila's people several times (lately, I've been grabbing my hips with big luggage, supporting my bakery uncle's hips, and supporting a little girl who fell down with a treat.) I think it is not bad to be able to notify security in this way. Well, I mean, intimidating shooting.

... but...

"That's not good..."

Laocles was starting to sweat with a serious face.

"If anything happens to the cane because of me, I can't face all the creatures in Soleila...!"

"You don't have to worry too much." The Phoenix will heal your injuries, and if I fight, Lao Cres will have less work to do, right? ”

“That's not the problem!”

Laocles, you think it's harder for me to fight than it is for me to get tired of the duel. Oh, my God.

... so Laocles was troubled, worried... and came to a conclusion.

«Croat»

What is it?

"I'll give you the ring." Put it on. We can't do any harm to the cane. "

"Huh, yeah? Sure, but..."

... I wonder if Lao Cres is tired. I wonder if you're tired and misjudging a lot of things. I wonder if it's okay.

"And then... yes, that's what Unuki was saying... this is it, okay..."

In addition, Lao Cres wrote the next sentence in his characteristic martial arts script.

If you want to apply to Croatia for a marriage and socialize, you must follow the proper procedures at the Knights of the Forest and make a reservation for a duel with Knights Commander Laocles.

... yes.

Is that okay?

"Ah, now there will be no more ungrateful cowards to apply to Tuogo for a duel." And I don't have to be summoned one by one. "

... no, I guess so. No, it wasn't. It's not that... it's okay? Is this okay...? "

... that's it.

"Awesome. Really awesome. Since then, not a single one of you has come, suitor!"

A week later, Mr. Crore brought us a tea set while he was hanging out.

Today's fairy cafe has the usual ratio of men and women. In other words, the ratio of men to women is about 5: 5. Young and old enjoy sweets and tea.... just a little bit, I think there are some people looking for Crores, but, well, they're just looking at Crores, and they're not doing anything in particular. Excellent.

"... well, that's right." Don't touch the woman of Laocles, the Commander of the Knights of the Forest. "That's a reputation."

"Don't say it...!"

Lila said with a giggle, and Laocres hugged her head beside her.

"Fufufufufu. That only seems to mean" Don't touch my woman ", Lao Cresu?"

As Lila went on, Laocres had a headache on his face.

"... I didn't expect this to happen."

"You're too shallow for a boulder, aren't you?" Well, that's why I'm so tired. I'm sorry. "

When Ms. Crore handed her a cup of tea, Laocres suddenly began to drink the tea with a sinister face.

"...... I can't help it. It's better to make a strange mistake than to apply for a duel with a cane......"

"I-I wonder if you can't rely on me that much..."

"It's just that I won't allow it." I'm your knight. "

... Lao Cres prioritizes protecting me over Crore. I see. It's kind of happy, sad, embarrassing...

"Fufufu. You're loved, don't you, Mr. Togo?"

And Crore too.

But even Laocres didn't have to do this.

I also care about Croa-san, so I think this is what happened, so... yeah.

For the time being, I laugh face to face with Lila, who is hanging around just like me. Somehow. Just, uh, somehow!

With that, Lao Cres was relieved, and everyone else was in the situation. Finally, Lao Cres, exhaling a deep sigh, raised his face and looked at Ms. Crore.

«Croat»

What?

Laocles looked at Ms. Crore's fingers and looked a little reluctant.

"At a later date, I will choose a few more and give you a ring."

... right now, Crore-san's fingers are covered with a dull ring.

It was a meteor ring. A very simple circle, just a circle. Since the ground metal itself is a beautiful metal with a strange pattern, you can see various colors from platinum to black depending on the place, but well, that's all.

Meteorite itself is an excellent metal... but it's more practical than beautiful. Laocles' sword was also meteorite, but meteorite was a kind of sturdy metal that went well with magic.

... erm, Lao Cres, I went to buy the ring immediately after that day and gave it to Crore, but the way I bought it at that time was "Sell me the most expensive ring of this size", so I ignored the design... It seems that Lao Cres still has some regrets.

After all, it seems that there were almost no rings left in the jewelry store. That's true. The jewelry store rings around here have been bought by the suitors to Crore, and both the gorgeous designs and the expensive ones have been sold more and more.

... that's why the most expensive of the remaining rings, with a practical emphasis on "strengthening resistance to magic", is almost like a protective ring.

When Crores wears a ring like that, it stands out, well... in that sense, Laocres might want Crores to change the ring.

"In the first place, didn't you have to go out of your way to buy it?" When I asked for another ring from the cane, I got a ring that I should do something about.... "

So, Lao Cres seems to be a little bit regretful, having gone straight ahead thinking only about keeping me safe and solving every problem.

... but...

"Oh, I just like this." It's not more intrusive than the extraordinary jewels, and it's not a bad match for magic. "

Ms. Crore smiled and stroked the black metal ring with her fingertips.

"Well, I'll take it off when it almost cools down." Is that all right? "

"... if you like, that's fine."

"Fufu. Then I'll do it."

Laocles was still in the mood to say something, but Ms. Crore was in a good mood, so she stopped saying anything else.

With a deep sigh, Laocres had another headache.

"Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to it."

And while Lao Cres seemed a little cute, I was a little hungry.

The day after tomorrow, I can finally paint a picture of Lao Cres battling frantically!

"... you really are that bad, don't you?"

Yeah. That's it.

The duel was already decided once a month. That would reduce the burden on Lao Cres.

So... I'm looking forward to the day after the first duel. Because Lao Cres is so handsome when it comes to fighting. I want to draw, I want to draw.

”If you're a peacock, it's like a festival.”

"After all, the name is [Spirit Match]." It's like a festival to me. "

Since Lao Cres has been posting paper to the Fairy Cafe, there has been a burgeoning application for a duel at the Knights of the Forest. So, this is the result of Lao Cres returning to me thinking of Faye and Sensei. "This is not a private duel, but a public event for Soleila." It seems that it would be easier to cool down with Croa-san.

Therefore, the duel of the day after tomorrow is dedicated to me. In other words, it's a festival for me.

... besides, Lila looks stunned, but I know it. When the duel starts, Lila will want to draw Lao Cres.

"... a festival. Well, that's right. That's the corner, think about having fun....."

And even as Laocres, I still like to fight. I'm just trying to explore my relationship with Crore, but the duel itself seems rather welcome.

"However, tomorrow's participants must be all of Croatia's amateurs..."

... but Lao Cres said that again and started to get worried.

I'd like to deal with a strong man anyway.

Well, that's right. Not everyone who comes after Crore is a strong man, of course.

Hmm... oh, that's right.

Well, then, let's call Mr. Talk.

I made a suggestion, because Lao Cres is too busy. [M]

"Talc...?"

"Yeah, I had a good game before."

Laocles reacted to what I said. There is a little light coming back into his eyes. After all, this is the kind of thing that cheers up Laocres!

"Then, let's call out to the other strong people." Well, I wonder if Mr. Rugulos can fight. Well, for now, Mr. Lugyrus, right? the rest.... "

How can we boost the Spirit Game for Laocles? I'm sure Lao Cres will have a lot of fun fighting the stronger ones.

"Ah! Turtle! Then I want to leave too!" I know the sword's skill! Well, I could be an accompaniment! I'll bring my brother with me! Aniki is a potential winner! "

... when I was thinking about it, Faye grabbed my mouth. Cheng Cheng. Faye and Mr. Rose. Sounds like fun.

"Mr. Safir... I guess he's busy. Well then, if you want to speak out later, I'd say Marsen-san, Interlia-san, or something like that."...... And then there's the fluffy, fluffy, dragon, and bird..... "

"...... at least I can't join without humans." If the dragon comes out, the people will be troubled by the stones. "

Ah, yes. That's right. That's right.

"Well then, I'll call out to Mr. Talk soon!" Lao Cres is inviting the Knights of the Forest! Faye needs you, Mr. Roses! And finally, Mr. Rugulos! "

So I slapped Laocles on the shoulder as he got better, and then I left the fairy cafe. There was a bird that seemed to have detected her turn, so she jumped on the bird and headed straight for the forest. Let's go from the altar to the land of the night.

... it's a festival of corners. I hope it's fun. For Laocres, for me!
