Chapter 92: Arrival

“Um… Zero niisama… you might want to deactivate the charge, okay?”

“Huh?”

I was about to look out the carriage window and see the sacred Taglion when Sophie said that to me.

“Look.”

“Hmm?”

Then Sophie suddenly used ice magic to create a mirror-like object out of ice and pointed it at me. That’s very clever…

“What? What? !”

When I looked at myself in that mirror, I saw that my hairstyle was very lame. I knew from my senses that my hair was upside down. In my imagination, I thought it was upside down, like when some warrior tribe changed their hair to yellow. But in reality, it was just like when you rubbed an underlay on your head and lifted it up. If I charged it more, it might become what I imagined, but I couldn’t move around the city with that much charge. So, I gently released the charge.

“Oh”

I was expecting my hair to be a little affected by the charge, but it easily returned to normal. In addition, since my magic power was now at its maximum, the lightning absorption wasn’t triggered even if the charge was lifted.

Finally, we entered the Sacred Taglione.

“Wow! It’s white!” (Zeros)

“But this much white looks bad for your eyes.”

In Holy Taglion, all the buildings are white. I knew that, but I was surprised when I actually saw it. It was not pure white, but a white with a slight yellow tinge. By the way, there was no time for sightseeing until the end of the inter-school battle. I want to go sightseeing with Sophie and Shana when the inter-school battle is over.

“Oh!”

I was surprised again. What surprised me was the state of the lodging in this country. Before coming to this country, we were provided with an inn that was a little higher grade than a normal inn because it was to be used by children of nobles. By the way, I didn’t know what the grade of the inn was, but Wallace and the others told me. And at the Sacred Taglion, we were offered the highest grade of lodging that I could see. I guess that’s how they treat all the people from other countries…

And except for the fact that the food tasted a bit bland, we made it to the capital under very good circumstances.

“The opening ceremony is tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Nn.”

I’m currently enjoying some lightly seasoned food in the cafeteria of an inn in the capital. By the way, we had planned our activities with five days to spare, before the opening ceremony. However, during that time, we were able to use the training grounds prepared by the Holy Taglion, so it was fun to be able to move around properly for the first time in a while.

Tomorrow at the opening ceremony, the format of this year’s survival battle will be announced, right?

“Yes.”

And tomorrow, the rules of the survival battle will finally be announced, as well as the circumstances surrounding the battle. The survival battle will start three days from now, that is, two days after the opening ceremony. So, the next day after the opening ceremony, we had to perfect our countermeasures.

“Unless something goes wrong, our strategy won’t change.” (Shana)

“That’s right.”

Shana is right, we already have a plan. All we have to do is make the final adjustments to the plan the day after tomorrow.

“Let’s do our best for the opening ceremony tomorrow.”

“What are you going to do for the opening ceremony?”

“Ah…”

I was kind of in the mood to start, so I was very enthusiastic about tomorrow. Well… there’s only the opening ceremony… But each country’s leader had to do something that signifies a pledge, so I have to do my best.

“Then good night.”

“Good night, see you tomorrow.”

“Good night.”

I decided to go to bed a little earlier than usual to prepare for tomorrow. I was so nervous and excited that I thought I wouldn’t be able to sleep, but I was able to sleep easily. The tumultuous opening ceremony was about to begin.
