The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 132: Visiting Wind City
"Hmm? Well, I'm not saying I don't like it."
Despite the many objections he felt, Kaizo reluctantly admitted it. To be honest, he actually thought it was quite funny.
Moreover, that this arrogant noble daughter would willingly humiliate themselves to console him, regardless of their methods being correct or not, their positive intentions are enough to make people want to thank them.
"All of you, thank you."
"I-I didn't do it for you, Kaizo. I just want Nyx back, that's all."
As Victoria turned her head, the cat ears on her head moved as well. Eve and Aura also timidly shook their tails.
"N-well, how about we take a walk outside?" Victoria, who was cleared her throat, pulled up Kaizo's pajamas by asking.
"Outside?"
"Today is our last rest day before the start of the main competition, of course we have to go out and have some fun. Staying locked in a distressed room all day is not the solution, is it?"
"That's right."
All Kaizo can do now is trust Nyx and wait for her to return.
If Kaizo as his contractor does not come out of his depression, «Gate» will be impossible to open. Going outside to lift his spirits is probably a good idea.
"And on this floating island, there is even Babellion managed by «Divine Ritual Obsession»." Aura added.
"Babellion?"
“It is said that a lot of antique level information is archived within the Holy Babylonion of Wind Palace, information that cannot be found even in our academy's seal library."
"If Nyx really is a sealed spirit sealed within the ancient holy sword, we might be able to find clues in those documents."
"If so, it looks like it's worth seeing."
Anecdotes from the Demon King Killing Holy Sword can be found all over the continent, and although truth and fiction are mixed in them, considering Nyx is an extremely powerful spirit, the, it wouldn't be surprising to find any mention of him on any of the records.
"It's decided, now hurry up and get ready!"
"Mhmm, we can't cheerfully be cooped up indoors all the time."
"And in a place very close to the harbor, there were many shops set up here as well."
The three girls huddled together, all of them trying to grab Kaizo's arm.
"Wait, let me change my uniform first, too, you guys don't want to go out in clothes like this, do you?"
"Well! Of course not!"
The girls blushed and quickly released Kaizo.

So, Kaizo and his friends put on their uniforms and take the train to the port. The Holy Babylon of Wind Palace seemed to be located not too far away from their dormitory.
Plain and simple wooden structures were erected side by side in the harbor area, creating a lively atmosphere like a shopping street holding a celebration.
In addition, various countries on the continent have also joined forces to raise funds for various food and entertainment facilities to welcome the spectators of the Sword Style Festival.
Since this was the original spirit world, where humans were forbidden to live, this fantasy path would only appear for a few days. It was a sight only seen during the Sword Style Festival held.
"Wow, the sky is clear today."
"Mm, because we're above the clouds, of course."
Hanging deep in the sky was a floating island, Wind Palace. It should have no chance against the strong winds, but since this holy land had the additional protection of the Wind Elemental Lord, there was no danger of being flown.
The small island craft flew one by one between the gaps in the clouds and arrived at the port. As the main event of the Sword Style Festival was about to begin, nobles from countries all over the continent had already begun to gather here.
"It's really spectacular."
"Only on a floating island can you see such a sight."
Eve and Aura revealed their astonishment in a mutter of exclamation.
"It would be great if Tiana could come with us," muttering, Kaizo raised her head to the bright and vast blue sky.
Right now, Tiana seemed to be looking for a way to destroy the «Bind of Darkness» imprinted on Kaizo. He tirelessly visits old acquaintances from his time at «Divine Ritual Obsession».
"Later, let's buy some presents to take back for Tiana, okay?"
"Mm, yeah."
The slate road is lined with a variety of shops. Since they were only temporary stalls, the manufacturing materials were not very impressive. However, the craftsmen or chefs working in them are the best talents that have been recruited from many countries.
The Sword Style Festival was an excellent opportunity to show the prestige of the nation, so countries tended to spend a lot of money on this.
The group made their way to the heart of the shopping street and passed by a group of tourists who had just stepped off the plane to see the Sword Style Festival.
"I don't want to say this, but this place is really very crowded."
"Males everywhere, I'm getting dizzy."
Eve and Aura looked around uneasily. It seemed that the women who grew up in such a sheltered environment were unfamiliar with such crowded places.
Furthermore, the city here was different from a college town. Men accounted for a greater proportion of the people here. Although they were among the best elementalists, here they immediately turned back into pure innocent girls.
Every time a passing man quickly touched their shoulders, they would let out a small scream and press themselves firmly onto Kaizo.
Victoria is no exception. From the start, he repeatedly clung to Kaizo and immediately withdrew. Whenever he leaned on Kaizo, he would stay away with a flushed face. When he meets passers-by, he'll return to Kaizo.
(This stupid girl, what is she doing?)
As Victoria leaned against him again, Kaizo quickly grabbed her hand.
"Aaaah! W-what are you doing?!" The fiery cat girl cried furiously, her face red.
"Who taught you to walk so shaky? That's very dangerous."
"Well, o-okay, I'll let you hold my hand, but just here."
As the two of them held hands, Victoria turned her gaze to the side timidly.
"You're too cunning." Aura puffed her cheeks sadly then grabbed another empty hand of Kaizo.
"aura?"
"I-I'm afraid you're lost, so hold me tight."
