Chapter 47: An Expert Visits

As the festival entered its third day, the famous Milk Can Carrying Race was also held.

This is apparently Grantham’s 8th District Competition, and carrying a large can that holds 12 liters on one’s shoulders, the competitors are to run a relay race in the city.

The most difficult part of the race was the section where they had to run down from the top of a hill in the suburbs.

If they fell and spilled their milk, they had to start all over again from the top of the hill.

Thinking of this, I reflected on the fate of the cloth I had used to wipe up the milk I spilled during recess back when I was in grade school.

I wonder what everyone’s clothes will smell like tomorrow......

Kanpu Plaza was crowded with people at the finish line of the race.

The winner had already been decided, and now, the awards ceremony was taking place.

The stall was empty as everyone was watching it.

While I was taking a breath of relief a large shadow covered my body.

It was a clear, cloudless day today, but is there going to be an evening shower tonight?

When I looked up at the sky, wondering that, what I saw wasn’t a cloud, but a man with a huge stature of nearly 2 meters.

Moreover, he was accompanied by 2 beautiful women. Updated chapters at novelhall.com

Not only that, the one on his left had long ears.

Could she be an Elf!?

This is the first time I’ve seen an Elf here in the other world.

The chest window in her clothes is wide open and the slit of her skirt is deep.

This is troubling, I don’t know where to look at.

[Welcome.]

The big man staring at me broke into a smile.

He looked big and scary, but when he smiled, he had this strange charm.

[Shopowner, I heard you sell something called Mobile Force over here. Could you tell me where those things are?]

[Yes, yes, Mobile Force are over here. I only have three boxes left.]

We sold a lot today, so we only have three in stock: a Gufufu, a Jam, and a Z-Zeong.

[Hohou. May I hold them?]

[Feel free. There are instructions on the side of the box.]

The big guy picked up the Gufufu’s box and read it carefully.

After trying various weapons, the man chose the unpopular longsword.

It’s a large sword, slightly curved like a seiryuto.

The entire blade is glossy black, with decorative carvings colored red.

[I like this, I’ll take this one.]

[What about protective gear? This shield is very popular.]

[I won’t need a shield. I would have it hold the sword with both hands.]

I see, that would probably make a sword attack more powerful......

The price was paid by the serious-looking one named Lana.

However, the guy’s still really staring at my face. Is there anything that bothers him about?

[By the way, Shopowner, I heard that if one buys a Mobile Force here, the Champion from the Capital will teach you how to use it. I’d like to have a bout with them, but would be alright?]

Hearing his words, I looked at Michelle, who was sitting while leaning against the wall of the stall, already having stood up and stretching her arms.

Perhaps she knew this was coming.

[Minerva, is it alright?]

[Yeah, no problem.]

Michelle equipped her Gyan with a sword and shield.

Somehow, she also looked eager to fight.

[Well then, this way please.]

The man nodded and placed the Gufufu into the arena.

In its hand was the longsword he had just purchased.

Even though this was supposed to be a Mobile Force battle, the tension rising between them felt like that of a duel between knights

Before I knew it, the awards ceremony had been ignored, as the gallery was full of spectators paying attention to this match.

[It’s not an official match, so introductions aren’t needed.]

The man was taking the fight very casually.

[Come anytime.]

Michelle was also brimming with fighting spirit.

She’s the type that gets passionate in battles.

Without a signal to begin, the two Mobile Force, as if it’s arranged beforehand, charged forward.
