"In order to compete, it's a prerequisite to win."
"Yes!"
Deena showed joy in the words of Ethereum, who had shown her motivation, and nodded loudly.
"To do that, first…"
"First?"
"You have to register."
"Right!
Ethereum was smiling naturally at Deena, who responded greatly to each and every word of Ethereum.
"In the meantime, shall we go back to the inn to determine our gear and prepare our masks"
"Yes!"
Dina's tension remained high long after she left the castle, how happy she was that Aeta was to be in the martial arts tournament the way she wanted.
Inn, Ethereal Room
Aotearoa and Deena sat next to each other in bed,
"Well, gear, but as an exclusion of what I usually use... what would you like"
Aotea accesses the sub-empty vault and looks at the list with her arms together. The tablet, which displays the list so that it also looks like Deena, embodied it.
"This will be the list of weapons, which do you think would be better?
Aotea thought any of them were fine, so she left the decision to Deena.
"Hmm, right...... I knew it would look good, and then it would be user-friendly, and I knew it would be strong"
Deena could not judge by her name alone, so she conveyed only a slender image to Aotearoa.
"Well, how about this or something?
Aotea picked one out of the list. It dwelt in the magic of the water, and his body seemed slightly wavering. The pattern head is designed with the image of the Spirit of Water in mind.
"Wow, that's so beautiful"
Deena was in love with that sword Aotearoa took out.
"This is what happens when you pass magic"
When Aotearoa exercises her magic, she wraps herself around something like a string made of water. And, at the next moment, the string gathers at the tip of the sword and becomes a ball of water.
"This is how we can use the power of water, even if we can't use magic itself, just by passing magic through it."
"Awesome! You had a weapon like this, what's your name sword?
Aotearoa closed her mouth to Deena's question and thought about it.
"Uh, is that an unusual name?
"Uh, no, I didn't decide on a name. I thought so. This is the first weapon I've ever built on my own, because I had a stronger weapon, and I hardly ever used it in action."
Deena was surprised when she opened her eyes to Aotearoa's words.
"Did Mr. Sorta make this? Awesome!!"
"If it is, Deena can name me after you. He'll be my partner during the tournament, this weapon."
Deena put her finger on her mouth and worried for a while.
"Andine, what about that?
"Andain..."
Aotea turned to the sword, and crushing its name turned the sword into a sub-empty vault.
"Deena, look at this."
When I showed Deena the list of sub-empty depots, the weapons earlier had names on them.
"What? Are you saying I've got a name now?
"That's right. But I didn't just get a name. That sword accepted that name."
Deena felt her breasts get hot when the name she gave her was accepted by the sword.
"Something is so delightful!
Deena was representing joy as she rocked her body.
"I didn't know you'd be so happy, I hope Deena uses this sword after the tournament"
"Really!
When Deena got out of bed, she was jumping around pimped and expressing joy all over her body.
"Now, is the protective gear appropriate... the cape should be equipped with something inside at once, and then the shoes should be this, or it would seem better to have a hand"
From the list, he chose a cloak of highly concealed dreams, a black stained misrill plate on the chest, a pair of shoes with wind attributes so that he could move quickly, and a magic iron handler who could also expect defense.
"And then there's the mask."
That was a gray mask. When I wore the mask and mouth, I decided to name it Gray, albeit quietly, because I remembered this the most.
I wore the gear I took out and even more just in case I wore a disguised bracelet.
"Wow, you don't know who Sota is."
Satisfied with the answer, Ethereum removed the equipment and stored it in the gear folder for disguise.
"We need to get dressed somewhere unpopular before we go to reception. For now, if we're together, it could be me, so let's move on from here."
When Aotearoa rises, so does Deena.
"Okay, so I'm gathering information and shopping for participants."
"Oh, let's meet at the inn before sundown"
The two who left the inn split up in a different direction.
Aotearoa went into an unpopular alley, made sure there were no signs, and changed to earlier equipment, and headed straight to the arena reception.
Sometimes there were glances as if to see something suspicious by wearing a mask, but most of them were judged to be festival costumes or adventurer gear and didn't even care.
"I want you to register to participate in a personal battle"
"Yes, the militant king division, isn't it? Please include it in this document."
I didn't touch anything about that against Ethereum with the mask on, and the receptionist said just to write the paperwork. Even when it came to documents, the fields filled in were to a lesser extent the name and occupation fields.
"Is this it?
"... Master Gray, you're a swordsman in your profession. And then there will be one silver coin."
Aeta, who had not heard about the cost of participating, ate the side for a moment but took the silver coin out of his pocket.
"Yes, this completes your registration. And don't lose it because this will be your certificate of participation."
The receptionist handed Ethereum a single bill.
"I'll post a plate of names on that bulletin board over there later. The qualification will be in a week's time, there will be an opening ceremony starting at 9: 00 a.m., so please come to the modest room by then. I'll show you the modem room if you come here."
"Okay, nice to meet you"
Aotearoa, Gray lowered her head gently and left the spot behind.
The receptionist was deeply suspicious about Gray, who did not take the mask off until the end, and reporting it to her boss but being told to stop prying about him further increased her distrust of Gray.
