Chapter 225 Learning

Part 2

So far no harm has come to me, but even I am learning. Some of them will be blinded by their greed and will probably try to take the mask.

I will be really getting my priority backward if I end up in danger because of the mask even though I try to hide my face with it in order to avoid any danger.

I’m amazed at my own judgment, man.

I was walking through the city while being protected by Luke and the others. I won’t *furafura* wander to a choco-dragon stall anymore even if I see one.

If I listened carefully, I could hear some small gossip.

Everyone seems to be interested in the Supreme Martial Arts Festival and about who is the Strongest, and although the contestants are not supposed to be public yet, there is a lot of excitement about who will win.

As their names are well known in Zebrudia, Anthem and Luke’s names came out among the people they talked about, and as their friends, this made me feel a bit ticklish.

And then my ears caught one name.

“《Infinite Sky Flower (Senten Banka)》...... It seems like he is a celebrity. Looks like I have to cheer for him with all my might.” (Cry)

According to Sytry, his Alias is a self-proclaimed one, but the fact that it was even being gossiped about means that it will soon become his real Alias.

I am really looking forward to what kind of tactics Kryhi Andrichhi has in store for us.

But then, Liz’s lips bent over when she heard me saying that in a good mood.

“Eeeeh, I’ll be rooting for Cry-chaaaan!” (Liz)

“Un, un, that’s right.” (Cry)

I am happy to hear that, but, I am not a contestant, you know.

Scary face and distinctive colored equipment――And with clearly over ten people with them. When you have that many people, you can no longer call it a Party.

A Mercenary corps. Warmongers. They make their living by hunting Monsters and by being bounty Hunters, rather than exploring Treasure Shrines, and they are the most fighter-oriented group in 《First Step (Hajimari no Ashiato)》.

《Torch Knights (Touka Kish-Dan)》.

I had heard from Eva that their “Commander (Dancho)” Touka would be attending the Supreme Martial Arts Festival――But I never expected to see them here.

It had been a long time since I last saw them too. It may have been several years since I last saw them all together (Although I don’t know how many of them there are).

At that moment, a dark-haired woman in the center of the group――The “Commander (Dancho)”, Touka, suddenly turned her gaze toward us.

Her reaction was drastic. Her hand instantly slammed the glass she was holding onto the table and stood up, raising her voice that could be heard loud and clearly.

“All members, stand up!” (Touka)

It was a bizarre scene. Despite her sudden words, all the members who were having a pleasant chat until a moment ago stood up at once.

All of their eyes turn toward us at once. Other customers in the bar looked at us to see what was going on.

“Salute our Master (Client)!” (Touka)

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Here comes a new Party from First Step!

But Liz and Luke go to a random bar but meet a Party from First Step.

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Tchao à plus!
