Chapter 234
We left the arena and walked through a city filled with excitement . While the air was filled with the smell of food, I found a stall that was clearly something else . When curiosity led me to take a closer look, I saw that several people were throwing objects and appeared to be trying to hit a target . You got points depending on which part of the target you hit . The better the points, the better the prize .

“Daniela . Lemon . I challenge you both . ”
“Hehe . You will soon regret that decision . ”
“You won’t beat me!”
The two elves said with enthusiasm . And so I called to the owner .
“Hello . The three of us would like to play . ”
“Oh, are you competing? All right . Take these eight skewers and throw them at the target! Maybe you’ll win something!”
“Hehe . ”
I passed the skewers to Daniela and Lemon . We were supposed to throw these things? It seemed quite difficult . They were made of metal… There was probably some trick to doing it . But…
“I’m quite good at this stuff . ”
“Asagi, you trickster . ”
“Haha…”
I could learn to do it in an instant with Jack of all Trades, Master of None! My wonderful unique skill .
Lemon looked puzzled at our little exchange . But then she turned to the target with a look of determination .
“All right, let’s say the one with the lowest points has to obey one order from the person with the highest points . ”
“Uh, but that…”
“Now, start . ”
I ignored her protest and threw the metal skewer after simulating the motion in my brain . It flew straight into the center of the target . The people around us gasped .
“Haha . ”
“Damn it…”
Daniela glared at me . But then she glanced briskly above the stall and then threw the skewer .
It went surprisingly straight .

“What…how…”
“Hahaha . ”
Had she had such a skill? Then I suddenly felt the wind caress my skin . Oh, did she…
“Daniela…”
“What? I just threw it?”
She said smugly . It was obvious now . She had used the spirits of the wind . Damn it! Cheater!
As I looked at her reproachfully, there was another thud . And when I looked, there was another skewer resting in the center . Daniela and I looked at each other before turning to the person who had thrown it . She was folding her arms and looking very pleased .
“Hehe . I happen to have a throwing skill . ”
“Cheater!”
“Cheater!”
It was a mess after that . We all used our skills in this most serious battle . We kept hitting the target, and in the end, we destroyed all three of them . The owner cried bitterly and the game was over . We felt too bad to claim any prizes, and so we left empty-handed .
“We’ll call it a tie . ”
“I would have won had the targets not broken . ”
“Really? I was sure I had it in the bag . ”
We argued as we continued to walk through the capital . Wherever you went, it was lively and festive . There had been festivals when I was in Japan, but it just meant I had more drunks and crazy youngsters do deal with . Those weren’t good memories . It was kind of ironic that it took me coming to another world to actually enjoy a festival…
After that, we enjoyed a few other games and ate some light food . It was evening before we knew it . Daniela was quick to announce that it was time for dinner, but both Lemon and I were full . She was quite disappointed as I dragged her along so we could drop Lemon off at her inn . We promised to meet again the next day before parting .
“See you tomorrow then . ”
“Yes! Good night!”

Good night, Lemon . ”
We waved at her and then continued on our way .
“Hahh…”
“You’re still depressed…? You’ve been sighing nonstop . ”
“You may say that Asagi, but I cannot fathom going to bed without a meal…it is not right…”
“Uhhhh…”
She would be repeating this until morning if I didn’t do something . And that something was to give in… But I really was full .
“Well, let’s find a place then . ”
“I love you . ”
“…”
She was holding my arm fondly, but I was not fooled . Her actions were currently dictated by her hunger . She would have gone with anyone who would take her out to eat .
“Now, let us hurry . I am starving . ”
“Yeah, yeah . ”
Daniela was the one pulling me through the streets now . Everyone was drunk, everyone was celebrating . It was as if things were only starting to warm up now that it was getting dark .
I gazed at the different sights while being pulled along . That’s when I noticed a large crowd . Was it some kind of event?
“As I said, I have not broken any rules!”
“That may be, but you’ve gone too far!”
“Hmph . That is rich, coming from an angry and violent mob . ”
“You…!”
It looked like a fight . Rules and mobs?
“They are in our way…how annoying . ”
Daniela muttered as she marched towards them .
“Hmm? Daniela, let’s go around . ”
“But the restaurant is on the other side . ”
“Wait-wait-wait-wait . ”
She was only looking at the sign on the other side . The one that read, ‘Meat, Meat, Meat, Meat . ’
Damn it . We ate there yesterday!
Besides…
“Wh-what?!”
“Woah!”
“Ouch!”
“Sorry-sorry…”
Daniela pushed her way through without a word . Of course, people fell into each other as the path opened . Daniela, what are you doing…
“You are in my way . ”
“Ahh!”
She continued to open a path towards the food . And then we finally arrived at the center of the noise .
“And who are you…”
“What is this?”
The two who had been fighting were an Adventurer and…the noblewoman who had won in Group B . I see . That explained the argument .
“You are in my way . Move . ”
“What? And why should I do that?”
“Because there is a dining hall behind you . ”
“That’s too bad . Go someplace else . ”
The man and woman seemed to have put their differences aside in order to block Daniela . I wouldn’t have done that if I were them…
“Do not bother me . ”
Daniela glared at them as a violent wind erupted . Not only the two in front of her, but the rest of the crowd were also pushed down from it . Even I felt myself rise into the air for a second . I would have fallen over had I not been grabbing onto Daniela .
While there were screams of terror echoing around us, Daniela just snorted grumpily . While no one had been injured, it was still a fearsome display of her mood when she was hungry .
“Who-who are you…”
“What are you!”
The two who were arguing asked as they looked up at us .
“Just an Adventurer . ”
She said before walking over them . She looked cool, to be sure . Like a protagonist . But she was still heading towards a barbecue house . Of course, I followed after her but was a little more careful to not step on anyone .
“Sorry, you two . But she’s really hungry . ”
“There is no need to volunteer such information, Asagi . ”
“Ahh!”
She pulled my arm so that I was next to her . Be gentle…
Well, we finally arrived . I wasn’t sure about eating meat two nights in a row, but I wasn’t going to object at this point in time . Besides, it would make her very grumpy the next day .
“Did she say…Asagi…”
“Asagi… Could it be… Silvergreen?”
I heard the voices behind us . The whole incident had made me oddly hungry, and so I pretended not to hear them . Damn it, Daniela . She exposed me alone… Oh . I had a bad feeling about this…
