I ran to hold Melidia's arm tightly to escape the crowd..
Feeling far enough I looked back to see if anyone was chasing..
But apparently there is no..
It seems like the distraction from Rian was successful..
"It looks like we're safe" I told Melidia.
The sound of my breathing was still irregular from running, but not a hint of sweat came.
Looking towards Melidia where her face was flushed red and a hint of sweat was flowing from her forehead..
Am I forcing myself too much to run at my pace ?
"Anu~ mr. Rei. can you release your arm"
I saw my hand still clutching her hand tightly..
Realizing that, I slowly let go of her hand.
"Sorry it wasn't intentional"
"It's okay"
A few seconds of silence ensued and we both stared at each other awkwardly..
"Ahem~ let's continue our journey" I said with a fake cough to relieve awkwardness.
"Truly, I will take you to the market area.let's follow me"
Melidia took a step ahead quickly to lead the way.
Arriving there I bought various necessities for the trip. Because the food we brought had run out so I had to buy a lot. Especially for the two idiots who ate it always a lot..
Melidia introduced me to various places there to find out the surrounding area. We even visited various food stalls.
"Mr Rei.it looks like you bought it too much" Melidia said with a wry smile looking at the many parcels of food I brought.
"Ah this is for those two people, after all they must whine with me if I enjoy food without them"
"You're quite attentive"
"Don't get me wrong, it's just because I'm too lazy to face them"
Then I looked around and smiled.
"This place is not bad either. The various types of cuisine are so unique.I instead want to ask for the recipe and bring it to the kingdom of Klienstar so that everyone can taste it"
Surely he would also like to remember Yuina likes new things.
"Mr Rei.. You are talking about the kingdom of Klienstar ? do you have any connection with the royal family there, especially the capital part ?"
"I think I have" I said somewhat hesitantly.
After all Liana and Yuina are princesses whom I know much less with their father.so calling them acquaintances should not be blamed ?
Melidia played her arm nervously and looked straight at me..
"Is master really a prince ?"
I heard it couldn't help but laugh.
Because Rian and Iwan had talked about it so Melidia who was too innocent still believed their words.
"You still believe both of them"
"That's not to get blamed considering the identity of the master is still unknown"
"You can stop talking formally.Honestly it's weird for me to hear it"
"Is my formal language not very good ?"
"No. I'm just not used to it"
"Then I'll stop being formal"
I nodded in agreement with what he said.
"Actually T-.. Rei. I want to ask for help in making an alliance, if you can do it for us" Melidia wanted to say, Mr. Rei.
Melidia expresses our word rather than herself which means she wants to say that it is for the kingdom.
I took my eyes off of him and saw the crowded streets of people.
"I can't decide this alone" I told Melidia.
Melidia put on a sad face as I said so. I looked back at him and smiled. "But I can give you a letter to help you make an alliance"
His face returned so quickly.
I smiled at how quickly he changed his face. Even his ears and tail swayed happily.
Melidia happily approached her face right in front of my face. Unknowingly I stepped back.
"Thank you very much"
I'm nodding.
"However, who sent the letter. Is there a post office ?"
"The post office ?"
"The person who sent the letter"
"You can hand it to me to deliver the letter"
I nodded in agreement with that..
"Before that can you stay away a little bit. Your face is too close"
"Ah sorry"
Melidia backed off with a flushed face.

Back to the arena..
A person from a featherless monkey race named Rian was standing in the arena together with a wolf race man who had such a large body.
This monkey.. Excuse me..
This furless monkey stood up with a confident look at the imminent fight.
Rian who saw it did not feel afraid but instead paid close attention to the enemy in front of him.
"Can we use guns ?"
"Bro.. Have you really read the rules ? in the fight prohibits the use of weapons"
"Tch.my weapon can't be used" Rian said in annoyance.
Rian wanted to boast about his sword that was so powerful and was already preparing to reply to his arrogant attitude..
But he couldn't use it. He was disappointed..
"Can we start the fight"
A rabbit-eared man who was the referee asked the two of them..
"I'm always ready, dattebayo~"
Rian replied with a wandering spirit as if he was the main character..
The referee rang a whistle that sounded so loud signaling the fight was about to start.
The monkey started to take a movement towards the wolf.
The wolf with its agility instantly dodged easily by dodging to the side.
The wolf took out its sharp claws and pointed them at the monkey.
The monkey noticed the movements he used to catch his wrist and used the momentum from the enemy force to make him fall.
The wolf's face almost hit the arena floor but with great effort he stopped himself from falling and used both of his hands to roll forward.
The monkey leisurely laughed looking at him.
"Are you okay ?"
This monkey greatly underestimated his opponent.
Since he had techniques in combat so such a thing as strength was not something he relied on.
"He's great, I don't think he can fight" Lily said.
Iwan who was beside him laughed softly.
"Even though his face is less convincing but he's actually great at fighting that relies on technique. let alone that he has trained hard, so I'm pretty sure he's sure he's definitely won"
Lily looked back at Rian with a face that was so flushed when she remembered that she had won.
Does that mean he will be his partner ?.
The sun was shining brightly but slowly the clouds began to cover it and the sunlight began to dim.
The wolf smiled wickedly as the last rays of sunlight began to be covered by the clouds.
"You're making me have to do this!"
The wolf roared ferociously and his clothes began to tear as his body grew bigger.
His face slowly turned even fiercer with his eyes that were so red behind the dark shadows of the clouds.
Wolf fur was popping all over his body.
"Let her bring out her [Beast] skill" Lily said frantically.
"Is that bad ?" Iwan asked confusedly.
"That's bad.wolves will get stronger in the absence of sunlight.His [Beast] skills also change his fighting instinct to be terrible"
Iwan looked back at Rian with worry after hearing Lily's words..
Everyone in the arena cheered happily for what happened.
"Look I'm pretty sure the wolf race will win"
"Yes you're right.it's not in vain that I bet for him"
"Fufu~ money will be mine"
The voice of people became excited because the function of the fighting arena was not just to find a partner. But also a place to make money.
Iwan became even more worried..
"Rian don't lose" Shouted Iwan loudly.
Rian heard the screams of his friend becoming happy and getting excited.
"Let me not lose" he said confidently giving his thumbs up.
"If you lose then the money I bet will be lost" Iwan continued quickly.
Rian heard it to know why his friend encouraged him..
His friend was in the bet..
