§ 18. Demon Sword Tournament

The days passed by in the blink of an eye, and the day of the Demon Sword Tournament was upon us. I was just about to leave the house when mom came rushing over.

“Wait, Anos! Let’s go together.” Mom was exceptionally well-dressed—a rare occurrence for her.

“Are you coming to Delsgade?” I asked.

“Yup! Anyone can go see the tournament if they have a ticket, right? The academy sent me one, so I’m going to watch too.”

“I still might not enter, you know?”

The plan was to first meet Ivis at the academy to hear his report. Only then would I make the decision whether to participate.

“Because your sword won’t make it in time?” mom asked.

“Well, something like that.”

Even if I explained the details, mom wouldn’t understand, so it was better to go with that.

“If there’s a chance you might enter, I’m coming along. Besides, I’d like to see the school my baby’s attending!”

I couldn’t see anything to be gained from doing that, but if that was what she wanted, then whatever.

“All right, let’s go.”

“Yup!”

We locked up the shop and left. Mom linked her arm through mine as we stepped out onto the street.

“Tee hee. It’s not often we get a chance to go out together. I’m so excited!”

It was a little hard to walk with her glued to me like this...

“Right, Anos?” mom asked, merrier than usual.

“Uh... Right.”

Well, no harm done. A linked arm wasn’t going to impact my freedom in any way. Mom looked like she was having fun—there was no need to spoil it for her.

“By the way, I haven’t seen dad around recently,” I said.

Dad had returned after rushing out of the house the other day, but he had been constantly coming and going since then. I had assumed he was working on the demon sword, but was that really still the case?

“He’s been helping out at another blacksmith’s lately; they’ve been short on staff.”

Ah, I see. That was one way of getting to know one’s colleagues.

“He had better not cause them any trouble.”

Mom laughed. “Right? But he’s always done good work, so I’m sure he’ll be fine.”

I had never seen dad at work before, so it was hard to imagine based on his usual self.

“Come to think of it, Lay was the other student nominated from your class, right?”

We continued along at a leisurely pace while I answered mom’s questions about the tournament. Once we reached Delsgade, I showed mom to the arena.

“If you head straight, you’ll reach the seating area.”

“All right, thank you! Do your best, Anos dear.”

“Sure. Though I still don’t know if I’m entering.”

“Byeee! I’ll be cheering for you!” mom called.

She then left without hearing a word I’d said.

Because we had taken our time getting here, it was about time for the tournament to start. I was due to appear in the first match, so there wasn’t much time left. Instead of heading to the waiting room, however, I turned and walked the other way.

Eventually, I arrived in the enchanted forest.
