In the front-row center of the subspace spectator seats Fullru is putting on armor with Iferaski and Ranjou helping.
Because the swordsmanship demonstration is the second half they are probably preparing for the magic demonstration after that.
Esty-san had just finished putting on armor. Oh no oh no. If the timing had been a little off her tails would have been seen.
"Fua!"
Raba was there. She should have been at the bus carriage but she apparently came to watch the tournament.
I hope it is not a sad reason like being pushed out of the turn to see the capybara babies because her rank inside the capybara girls is low and having no place so she came here...
Raba is fighting by bumping bellies with Kaka or Pipi. She got excited watching our matches.
Looking at the state inside the spectator seats Jalda and Maria are bewildered.
"Sahar-dono, just what is this..."
"When did such a place. That I who was in the match did not notice..."
"This is evidence we have the Dragon God’s backing. Something like this would be impossible for humans right?"
"C-certainly... Even supreme magician Etranger-sama I cannot think could create such a space..."
Everyone noticed us but Fullru and the horse girls are wary of humans and Esty-san does not want her identity suspected so they do not approach us.
Duran erased her presence and took one step back. It is a position where she considers not interfering with my conversation with Maria and the others while if something happens she can always nullify the two’s skills.
Raba unlike the other children does not care about others’ eyes so while shouting "Fua!" she body-slammed my legs.
Mofu.
"Arutimetto ekushupurojon!"
"What is that aaaaah! Guaaaaah!"
Furthermore Raba tightly hugged my legs with her short arms and legs.
Mofumofu.
"Baaningu sharamandaa!"
"Uwaaaaah! Amazing power. As expected of Knight Raba!"
I crouched, tickled Raba’s armpits and peeled her arms off, then lifted her as is and stood with her on my shoulders.
At that time I saw several fruits placed on a chair.
I see. Raba came to deliver snacks.
"Who are these people deshu?"
"They are an inspection group that came to inspect our kingdom."
"Shishatsudan!"
"Ah. Rudeness toward an inspection group can cause a diplomatic problem so do not be rude."
"Fua?!"
"Usual is fine."
"Got it deshu."
"Maria, Jalda. Let me introduce. This child is Raba. She has fought the Dragon God many times and at present has more losses but she is a great knight who has also won."
"I myself am Knight Raba twelfth in capybara girl rank deshu!"
"Nice to meet you. I am Maria."
Here there are humans, elves, horse girls, and beastmen called mixed breeds. That everyone lives equally should be visible to Maria and Jalda’s eyes as well.
Musha.
Raba who apparently got hungry from knight play gnawed my hair.
In the match venue it seems to be the tenth match with Dragunov in the center.
The opponent’s figure cannot be seen because she is moving at high speed. Lightning runs freely all over the arena. It is probably Rai Tonel who is A-rank second and has the aliases Fastest and Lightning Speed.
Rai’s attacks seem to be hitting and occasionally lightning stabs into Dragunov’s armor. But he does not move even a little.
I wondered how he deals with an unseen opponent and Dragunov swung a greatsword that looks like it could kill a dragon horizontally with a bun. With only that wind pressure sand dust whirled up like a storm.
The lightning trajectory running through the thin sand curtain unnaturally changed course and vanished again. Probably the attack grazed.
The fight between this country’s real-ability number one and number two is tremendous and even though I am in a situation where I must converse with Maria and Jalda I ended up having my eyes drawn.
Musha.
"Well anyway as you can see we get along without being caught by differences of race. They are not here but there are also dog girls and cow girls and rabbit girls and even fairies who rarely show themselves before people."
"But even if you show us this..."
"I understand doubting. If you come to the western forest even tonight I can show further evidence that my words are the truth. On this—"
Swearing on the scarf I received from Charlotte-denka and the sleeve I received from Elsa—
I started to say and stopped.
Musha.
"Swearing on the space Dragon God Lucia made all my words are the truth."
"Dragon God Lucia..."
Maria is only bewildered by that name but Jalda seems to have heard the name and opens his eyes wide.
"Is that not the name of the giant divine beast Capybara Dragon that appeared in Monvan!"
"You know Jalda!"
"Yes... The legendary one that suddenly appeared in Monvan, led beastmen, and vanished to the northern land..."
"That is it!"
Musha!
"Said to have crushed a drug-cultivation organization spreading underground and defeated a succubus that spits venom fluid..."
"That is a misunderstanding. Anyway we will make a country where everyone is equal and gets along. I am unrelated to Oma country so I will forget what I heard from Maria and Jalda today. I have no interest in restoration of Oma country."
Only—
I continue the words on a whim.
"If your true purpose is restoring Oma country I will not be involved at all from now on. But if your wish is a world where humans and beastmen live getting along then cooperate with us."
"Wh-what..."
Musha...
Jalda groaned and was at a loss for words. As if confirming his master’s thoughts Jalda turned his face toward Maria.
Maria also says nothing. However she slowly removed her helmet.
The face I see for the first time is younger than I imagined.
Not a female math teacher but a maid working in a recent-era English mansion. The gap with the onee-sama-like voice is large.
Just come from the countryside and about to cry from the unreasonableness of the city and bullying from senior maids. Around her low nose faint freckles remain and above her wide forehead slightly orange-tinged wavy blonde hair sways.
"Right now I have no means to show respect besides exposing my bare face."
In short she sympathized with my story?
"Knight Raba. You, happy?"
"Happy deshu!"
Mushamusha.
"I see. I am glad."
"Eat deshu?"
Buchibuchibuchi.
"Thank you. But I do not need it."
Fu, Maria let out a gentle smile.
Seeing that expression I became certain Maria wishes for a world where humans and beastmen can live as equals.
At this timing Iria appeared at the left front of the spectator seats.
She is breathing with her shoulders. She probably had a considerably fierce match. Sorry I could not cheer.
"Welcome back, Iria."
"Ah. I am back. Masaharu. That hairstyle also suits you."
Iria took her gaze off me, looked at Maria’s figure, and for an instant opened her eyelids large.
I see. Is it also Iria’s first time seeing Maria’s bare face.
By the way what happened to my hair...
