Chapter 124: Selection Event

Chapter 124: Selection Event

After I sent out gliders about the MF Tournament between the four towns, the reply was immediate.

In fact, all the lords jumped on their horses and came to Luganda the next day.

The four lords unexpectedly gathered in one place and were able to hold a discussion.

Looking at the enthusiasm of the lords, it’s not difficult to imagine that the meeting went very quickly.

As a result, the following was decided.

From now on, the tournament will be held once a year, in the order of Luganda, Betzel, Ballast, and Toskea.

Teams will be made up of 5 representatives from each town, and league matches will be held.

The first tournament will be held in Luganda.

The tournament was to be held in one month, and the lords of each city started preparations immediately.

I’m going to be busy too.

First of all, I have to select my representatives.

I’ll make a flyer for a representative selection event right away.

Even though the season is autumn, a freezer has appeared in the store along with a level up.

Ice cream and anzu-bou are kept in the freezer, and they are selling very well for the season.

There seemed to be areas in the dungeon that were extremely hot, and adventurers who go to these areas buy them.

[Don’t they melt on the way there?]

I asked Merle, who had bought three ice cream bars.

[No problem, Mira can use her Frost Magic to freeze the Ice Cream. Home Run Granny is the best to eat in hot places.]

Even if one can’t use Offensive Magic, it seems like it’s still possible to keep ice cream cold with a little bit of knowledge.

Product name: Home Run Granny

Description: Milk ice cream. When eaten, it makes it easier to get a satisfactory blow. The effect lasts for half a day.

Price: 50 rims

It’s an ice cream with wrapping designed with an old lady wearing a helmet and carrying a baseball bat.

[Now then, let’s go and make a lively earning today...... Ahh!]

Merle let out a small cry.

[What’s the matter, did you forget something?]

[That’s not it, look at that.]

Merle pointed to a hand-written flyer on the wall.

The Four-Town Mobile Force Tournament was to be held!

A league competition will be held with a team consisting of five members. A selection event will be held in Luganda to determine our representative players. If you think you got what it takes, come and participate. For details, contact the shopkeeper.

[Yuusuke-san, that is......]

However, I’m glad she’s doing her best.

[Mira is going to be at the tournament?]

[That’s right, Mani-san. Come cheer for me and my Dom, okay?]

Meanwhile, Mani-san and Mira are having a leisurely conversation by the side.

There was no tension of conflict between them.

It was like a conversation between a grandfather and his grandchild sitting on the porch.

Mani-san is especially fond of Mira, and his affection for her oozes out.

[I see, I see, Mira is doing his best huh. Alright, in that case, I will be rooting for you. For now, let’s apply a magnetic coat on your Dom’s fuselage......]

[Stop right there!]

I heard a line I couldn’t ignore.

[What is it, Yahagi? I’m just modding Mira’s Dom.]

[That’s cheating. We can’t allow modded machines in tournaments.]

[In that case, I will just give her a Giant Bazooka. That way, it won’t be a modded machine......]

[That’s not allowed either. Attaching firearms to the machines is prohibited.]

[At least allow attaching a Diffused Particle Cannon in the chest......]

[That’s not allowed either.]

When I banned him from doing this and that, Mani-san sulked.

[What’s with you, I’m not even giving her Psychic Frames or Funnels......]

Sometimes, when he comes to his senses, he says the most outrageous things.

[Yuusuke-san, is eating dagashis allowed? I kinda feel like drinking ramune before a match.]

Merle asked me a question. If one drinks ramune, their mana circulation will be regulated, which will make it easier for them to control their machine.

[I will allow that. However, allowing you would also mean I would also allow the others to eat snacks.]

My goal is to increase sales in the first place.

There’s no way I could do that without selling my dagashis.

It wouldn’t be unfair if everyone ate dagashis that improve their abilities.

[Then, I’ll give a Mobile Force Variation......]

[Like I said, you can’t do that!]

[You youngsters are quick to abuse the old.]

[No, no, there’s no abusing here......]

It was rough calming down Mani-san when he seriously fell depressed over this.
