(POV switch – Stella)

Just like that Stella, carried the two bats and went out to the plaza.

First was trial swinging. In the sky, clouds were scattered, and the sunlight was somewhat weak. Even so, Stella’s motivation was enough.

Even when I once received a holy sword, I wasn’t this excited.

“Hum hum” (Stella)

There were already several adventurers in the plaza. When Stella arrived at the plaza, she held a bat in each hand. In the right hand, the old bat, Durandal. In the left hand, the new bat, Fragarach.

“It is good!” (Stella)

It fit her well. The new bat Fragarach was lighter compared to Durandal and suited the left hand. When swinging with only the left hand quickly, the difference with Durandal was clear. It had flexibility, and wrist control worked. After swinging with both hands for a while, the feeling was grasped to some extent. The problem was whether it was possible to actually hit the ball.

“Should I go back once and bring Wood, or ask someone… oh?” (Stella)

When Stella looked around the plaza curiously, Nana was there lying on the grass in the shade wearing a cockatrice costume. She was lying down and not moving.

I thought she went straight home from Elt’s house earlier, but it seems she was resting in the shade. Or maybe she is taking a nap. But it might be just right. Practice is not effective without a proper pitch. Nana, who is an S-rank adventurer, probably has enough physical ability.

When approaching, a voice came from the costume. Apparently, she was awake.

“Stella… do you need something?” (Nana)

“Um. Are you free now? I want you to do something a little.” (Stella)

“Is it the role of being hit by the bat? I will die, so no.” (Nana)

“That is not it! It is more peaceful!” (Stella)

At Stella’s protest, Nana sat up slowly.

“Just kidding. You want me to throw the ball, right? No problem. I have been watching since you came.” (Nana)

“Hmph, seriously…” (Stella)

However, it would be appreciated if she throws.

“In that case, I will bring the ball. Please wait a moment.” (Stella)

“Hmph. I thought something like this might happen.” (Nana)

When Nana rummaged her belly, a ball came out. Truly, her belly could produce anything.

“…Convenient. Let’s start immediately.” (Stella)

“Yeah, okay.” (Nana)

But Stella noticed a serious matter. For dual-wield practice, two balls had to be thrown. With one ball, there was no meaning in holding both hands ready. However, Stella reconsidered quickly. If it was an S-rank adventurer, she could do it.

“Then, please hold a ball in each hand and throw them to me. I will hit them.” (Stella)

“…Hmm?” (Nana)

“No, so, hold the balls in each hand and throw them simultaneously. Then, it will be practice for the splitting thunderballs.” (Stella)

When Stella said so, Nana’s movement stopped.

“That is impossible. Right? Something like a superhuman thing.” (Nana)

After that, Naru came to my house. It was about the Adventurer Guild’s building.

A serious blueprint was placed on the table.

Well, I imagine it and build it… According to the blueprint, the building is two stories. However, the interior is quite spacious.

“It is two stories, but a splendid building.” (Elt)

Nyaff tribe had short strides. It was better to widen the building horizontally than to add stairs.

“Nya. I also referred to materials from Leia and other trading companies’ buildings, nya.” (Naru)

“Hmm… that is good.” (Elt)

“The undecided parts are the dining hall and souvenir corner, nya.” (Naru)

It was the so-called part for real travelers. However, it had quite high importance. We wanted it to become a topic and a source of income.

“Regarding the dining hall main plan, wait a little. The shape is still vague.” (Elt)

“That is not a problem at all, nya. We also need time to organize and start with room to spare, nya.” (Naru)

“Sorry, I rely on you.” (Elt)

“Nya, I am honored.” (Naru)

“As for timing, it is better after the winter solstice festival.” (Elt)

According to the calendar, it was now mid-November. In this world too, roughly twelve months and thirty days per month made a year. The winter solstice festival was held in late December to celebrate the passing of the winter solstice when the sun was weakest. On modern Earth, it became the origin of Christmas.

Of course, in this world, the winter solstice festival was also held grandly. Each region held characteristic festivals, becoming specialties. As for place around here, the Zanzas cockatrice festival was said to be splendid.

“It is so, nya. I think it would be good to unveil it just in time for the New Year, nya.” (Naru)

“Is there any other concern…?” (Elt)

“There’s been no particular change, nya. Sales also steady, sales routes expanding, nya… production cannot keep up, nya.” (Naru)

“That is good matter.” (Elt)

“Nya. Management is very steady, nya… But one thing, there is a worrying rumor, nya.” (Naru)

Saying so, Naru looked around carefully. However, Wood, Dia, and Marcosias were wrapped in cotton and just taking a nap. There was no worry about secret information leaking.

“Tell me.” (Elt)

“I heard from merchants coming and going in the royal capital, nya. One of Elt-sama’s older brothers, Berzel-sama, is rumored to be appointed as captain of the Black Dragon Knight Order, nya.” (Naru)

“…Berzel-niisan, huh.” (Elt)

I remembered an older brother whom I have not met properly for many years. He was skilled in swordsmanship, laughed often, and had a bossy personality. Among my three older brothers, he was the only one who practiced swordsmanship with me a few times. He deliberately went easy and let me lose, a cooperative older brother.

However, since Berzel seriously entered the knight’s path, I have not had the chance to meet him at the family home. I only vaguely remember his face.

“First, congratulations on promotion, nya.” (Naru)

“Yes… From captain of the Twilight Knight Order to captain of the Black Dragon Knight Order. That’s the perfect example of an elite course.” (Elt)

This country had dozens of knight orders. Their roles were monitoring the borders and areas of massive monster outbreaks. Among them, the seven knights named after colors and the Royal Guard Knight Order were exceptional. The Black Dragon Knight Order, to which Berzel was to be appointed this time, was a prestigious, highly honored elite knight order.

“But, nya…” (Naru)

“…I understand what you want to say.” (Elt)

Naru’s voice clouded naturally.

The Black Dragon Knight Order was founded hundreds of years ago by Tristan, the “Black Dragon Killer Knight”, who defeated a black dragon alone. The problem was after that. Anyone living in this region knew.

After that, Tristan challenged a certain S-rank adventurer who at that time shared the strongest title. That S-rank adventurer ran away, but finally could not escape, and a one-on-one duel happened. However, the result, Tristan was thoroughly beaten and had to flee back to the royal capital. This was the only defeat in the lifetime of Tristan, the “Black Dragon Killer Knight”.

There was even a play named “Tristan’s Complete Defeat”, and it was still a popular performance. And the S-rank adventurer who completely defeated this Tristan was none other than, the hero Stella.

At that time, Stella and Nana were throwing balls together.

“Put more strength into both arms…! Then, rotate your hips.” (Stella)

“Huff huff… li-like this?” (Nana)

“A little more, store the power…” (Stella)

In the end, Nana could not throw the ball with one hand and threw with both hands. But she had physics and was probably second only to Wood in terms of physical ability. However, it still did not reach the speed of the thunderball. So, it was special training, Nana’s pitching.

“Come to think of it, it was natural. If you hit a thunderball, you have to find a person who can throw like a thunderball. If there is none, you must raise one…!” (Stella)

*Burning…!*

Stella’s eyes were burning.

“It should not be like this…” (Nana)

Nana murmured a little at Stella who looked like she would run toward the sunset.

“No, I cannot fool my eyes. Your weight has slightly increased, has it not…!? Exercise is what you want, right?” (Stella)

“Eek.” (Nana)

Yes, that was an undeniable fact. Vampires liked tomatoes. Moreover, they loved rich tomato dishes. After a short period of overeating, Nana’s weight was surely increased. She thought it was no good this way, but she did not expect Stella noticed.

“The footprints of the costume and slight changes in weight movement. I can see it with my eyes. Nana’s weight curve will be like this if she continues her current lifestyle…!” (Stella)

“Aaaah…” (Nana)

Ruthless. Nana looked up to the sky and gathered strength in her arms. Nana’s clear reason agreed. Stella’s words are correct. Continuing like this was very dangerous, in terms of style. There was no choice. The gained weight must be washed away with sweat.

“Fine, I will do it if I have to, I will do it…!” (Nana)

“Yes. Whatever the reason is, we aim for it together…” (Stella)

Then, Stella clenched her fist tightly.

“To Koshien…!” (Stella)

That day, the two S-rank adventurers threw and hit balls until late into the night…
