System vs Rebirth

"Here you go." Noel bought a bag of fruit and asked Rica to take some. They were going around the town after Rick's suggestion. He was thankful to them to wait for him just so that they could give the armor personally.

So, he didn't mind to spend the rest of the day to show them around. Though, Rick didn't join them.

"Thank you." She received an apple while asking, "Do you have any recommendation when visiting this fort?"

Noel thought for a moment. He had been running around the town and helping the people, so his connection was quite wide among the citizens. Hence, he had a few suggestions.

However, there was one spot that held a special place in his heart.

"There is one." Noel smiled, recalling the memory of that place.

"Oh! Do you mind if we go there?"

Noel nodded as he didn't hesitate to bring Rica to the plaza where he first met the kids. Since that day, he never appeared before them anymore, but it didn't change the fact that he still watched them from afar, feeling happy with their achievement.

Like usual, the kids had been performing in the plaza with many people waiting for them. After months of dancing, the kids had truly gotten better.

"Oh my!" Rica raised her eyebrows in amusement. The kids were actually moving in unison. Although their moves were a bit sluggish compared to a professional dancer, they had their own specialty that no one could replicate.

They were actually dancing with swords. Every swing was quite big in soldier's perspective, but they truly gave a different charm, making them look beautiful.
