♪Cha-cha, chachachacha~~
Along with cheerful music, the musical notes surrounded by circles crawl across the floor.
It’s difficult to keep moving forward rhythmically by stepping on them!
(I’m being forced to dance.)
The parts where the musical notes come in rapid succession are especially challenging.
“Instead of hopping on one foot there, try using both feet.”
“Ah, like this, MAINA-san?”
“Deles-chi, you can do it on your tiptoes.”
…That’s a fresh way of being called.
However, at eighteen, she should be younger than me.
Furthermore, she’s supposed to be a summon belonging to Ange-chan.
(She’s a dance instructor right now, so it can’t be helped.)
“This part is still just the beginner level.”
“Eh? What will it be like in the intermediate and advanced levels?”
“There’s a move called sliding, where you drag your feet to the side.”
That’s really tough.

“See, adding a step there makes it easier to change direction.”
“You, on the other hand, should go out of order…”
“Ugh, my legs… are cramping up…!”
No matter how fast I do it, this twist is something I’ve never experienced.
♪Charararachcha… Chacha!!
(Phew, I’m done.)
The two-minute music ends,
And I collapse onto the floor, along with…
“The evaluation results will now be displayed!”
In the Underground Training Area of the Adventurer Guild,
Training results are projected on the wall!
“Hmm, you stepped on 65 out of 99. Not bad for a beginner.”
“MAINA-san, y-you’re praising me… *puff*”
“But this song, the highest difficulty has 634 musical notes.”
Eek… That’s just too much.
“Well then, shall I show you an example?”
MAINA stands ready with full motivation.
What is it, that casual-looking outfit? It’s tight, showing off her body line.
It’s not underwear, but rather clothes that cover her body. And, well, she really doesn’t have much of a chest.
“Now, here come the musical notes!”
…I stand up and watch with Nina-san, talking in a low voice.
“It’s impossible to even get closer and attack with this.”
“Gadot probably couldn’t land a single blow.”
“That’s why he got angry, causing this mess… It seems to still be raining outside, musical notes.”
Occasionally, there’s an impact from a large one hitting.
(Still, MAINA-san’s agility is amazing.)
She steps on the musical notes with precision,
As if she knew the pattern even before they appeared.
In no time, she’s at the front line, beating up the Badolin doll.
“Speaking of which, MAINA-san, you fight bare-handed, don’t you?”
“No, look closely. She’s holding spiked rings.”
“Ah, you’re right.” “Those are weapons called ‘knuckles’.”
Iwamoto-san, who had come to my other side without me noticing.
“By the way, Iwamoto-san, are you also good at this kind of dancing?”
“I’m good at it, but it strains my back. Please use Healing Magic.”
“You can do it…?” “I can do it even while singing.”
As we were talking, two minutes passed and it ended.
“Ah-cha-cha, 3 misses~”
“Even so, you’re dealing enough damage to the enemy.”
“Next, I’ll try!” “Ange-chan?!”
I couldn’t help but exclaim.
Is she going to be okay? The difficulty should be beginner-level at first.
“Um, you have to step on them, you know that, right?”
“Like you did with Sufma?”
“You don’t need to think about unnecessary things!!”
As the music begins, Ange-chan… unleashes a barrage of Instantaneous movement!
“Ah, Ange-sama, the Summoner, that’s cheating!”
“Is it?”
“At worst, you might get banned by the administration.”
Banned?
Administration??
“Ugh, so laaaame.”
“Summoner-cchi, it seems like floating is okay, so…”
“Then, it’ll be like this, right?”
She slides through the air, touching the musical notes with her feet, *ton, ton*.
Yes, it’s more about touching them than stepping on them. This saves time.
(I don’t need to brace myself, it feels like effortlessly swimming through the air.)
And so, she approaches the Badolin doll in front of her…
“Ei, ei, ei.”
She’s hitting it with her Illusionist’s staff.
It’s just training, after all. A long staff would take too much time,
And a sickle might cut through it quickly, possibly breaking it.
“This is going well~!”
“Maybe you can raise the difficulty a bit.”
As expected of a Summoner, she clears it safely while being praised by her summons…
“Yay, only 1 miss!”
“Master, I’ll go next. I’m confident in my speed.”
“Okay, Nastasia-san, you’re the type to improve by doing it many times, so do your best.”
And so the training, or rather, special training, continued…
“Niina-sama, we want to participate too…”
“In the special training, no, in the subjugation.”
The Princess Sisters have arrived.
“Hmm, it’s true that it’s a suitable Demon Lord Battle for ‘Dancers’, but…”
“We want to be of use!” “We’re sure we can help with this.”
“…I understand what you’re thinking. Your sister probably wants to be freed from slavery too, but don’t be so hasty.”
Right, Older Sister was freed, and now it’s her turn to free her sister.
(That’s why she’s been wanting to come along.)
She naturally stuck to me even after lunch.
She helped quite a bit with guiding the evacuees, so I didn’t chase her away, but… when it comes to the Badolin battle… considering her experience against the Seven Great Demon Lords, I suppose it’s okay to allow it.
“It’s okay if you judge after watching us.” “Please.”
Niina-san, who looks like the leader, with a serious expression,
Crosses her arms and looks down at the two of them.
“…This is not a game, but alright, for now, show me what you can do.”
“Yes, I’ll go first.” “I’ve pretty much memorized it!”
“Then, Iwamoto and MAINA, please be the judges.” “Understood.” “I’ll check it out.”
Meanwhile, at that time,
In a corner of the training area, those who get injured occasionally…
Clarice-san, Helen-san, and Gotchan (Goddess Succubus) were healing them.
(I wanted to try it on the Succubi too though.)
Especially Silhouette-neechan (Silver Succubus), who specializes in speed.
♪Cha-cha, chachachacha~
♪Cha-cha, chachachacha~~
♪Charararan~, chanchachanchachan~~…
And so, the special training continued until late afternoon…
(※ The music is original, by the way!)
