Central Kazimierz, Kawalerielki Alliance, 'The Grand Knight Territory' Kawalerielki

At the scene of a certain unsightly car accident

Oh... We still gonna make it to tonight's party?

It'll be your fault if we don't, V.

My fault? Hah! My damned fault?

It's you and that goddamned box of yours, all thirty kilos of it! You think you aren't heavy enough, huh?

These are tools for fixing Marcin's stuff! That's your excuse for crashing into a tree?

Do not question my sense of direction!

I'm saying that your vision ain't as good as it used to be...

Did you forget how I won that darts competition at the bar last week? My eyesight's great as ever! You must be blind.

I'm not blind, which is why I clearly told you earlier 'watch out for that tree.'

Why don't I remember that?

Because the radio was too loud!

Well, who put Monster Siren's new disc in?

...Just shut up and let the lass focus.

Wow... This car is totally wrecked...

It's all V's fault.

I... You... Maria, don't listen to his bullshit. This is absolutely not my fault!

Alright, alright! Just let me work, sheesh——!

Hear that? You're disturbing the young lass, just keep quiet.

You!

Circuit's OK, but the engine is unresponsive. Hmm, this design is something from two generations ago? Do you start it like this...?

Still no response from the engine. What if I use some Arts to start it...?

...Like so?

Mhmm, seeing the young lass use Arts like this always reminds me of her grandfather.

That's right! Just look at Maria! Why don't you know even a lick of Originium Arts?

Who says I don't know how to repair Originium devices?!

I'm talking about——

Maria! Move aside! I'm going to make this old geezer eat his words!

Ahaha...please don't argue, you two...

Oh! There's a reaction!

Like this... and that...

Oho! The engine's alive? This blessed sound of a rumbling engine!

Little Maria's really getting better day by day. I suppose it's just about time for a certain old fogey to retire too, eh?

Hehe, it's nothing like that. It's all thanks to Master Kowal's teachings.

Hear that? Hear that? Did——you——hear——that?!

Tch. Stop blathering and get in the car.

Lass, where are you headed to? Want us to give you a ride?

Me?

I... I have other business.

Alright then. Hold on tight, Kowal. I must have the first pick of the wine tonight!

Of course——Wait, doesn't the engine sound weird——

Off we go!

Why are you driving so fast?!

I'd've gone even faster in my youth, you know! Also, I haven't hit the accelerator yet!

Huh? Wait, we're at 70mph now, slow——slow down! Hey, it's 80mph now! We're over the speed limit! We're over it!

Can't slow down! Told you, I'm not accelerating!

Then——! Slam the damned brakes!

Ah... Ahaha... Looks like the Originium engine got overloaded...

I messed up again, ehe.

Welcome, one and all!——Here in Kazimierz, you can enjoy unique dishes and enchanting sceneries, giving you a taste of the distinctive local culture——

But who cares about all that! Here and now, the only thing anyone cares about is the Kazimierz Major!

I am Mob, Greatmouth Mob! And I'm honored to be commentating on today's match!

Within this Roar Arena in the Kawalerielki Central Division, the knights' glory will be put upon display once more!

Today's match is fully sponsored by the Roar Guards Company, as usual. The top ten competitors in the daily points rankings will each receive one limited edition weapon 'Rioter' provided by the Roar Guards!

That fancy toy will be impossible to sell... *sigh*, I'll be damned if I can find a buyer.

Nevermind, it's from my paymaster after all... hmm?

Competition knights hailing from Kazimierz——no, from all over Terra! The corporations from the Kazimierz General Chamber of Commerce will all be paying close attention to today's independent knight competitions!

Will you take the lead in the sprint races, or hit the bullseye in the shooting competition? No matter what you compete in, you will all have a chance to gain the favor of the directors!

Of course! There's also the highly anticipated one on one mixed sports! The one with the highest points, the greatest exposure! Any match in this category could get the attention of a Knightclub and catapult you to success!

Want to join the Kazimierz Major? Want to stand atop the glorious knights? Right now, the tickets are in the hands of the participating knights!

Defeat your opponents, earn endless glory and rejoice!

Phew...

Deep breaths, deep breaths...

Without further ado, let's begin the first match of the day——

Wait... wait! This participant... She's not just any old farmgirl!

That's right! I'm saying that the first match today will be the hottest news on the Kazimierz sports pages for weeks to come!

The reason? This competitor joining us for the first time has a very special 'name'! She may look like a cute girl, but she comes from a very famous family!

If you know your competition knights——No, just about any loyal customer of Kazimierz would know this name!

Can you get to the point! Show us the new girl already!

That's right!

Hey, let me see the match card for the day.

Yes, Sir Szewczyk.

These are all familiar faces, hmm... Wait, this last one at the bottom?

Yes... The preliminaries have been going on for half a month, but it's unusual to see independent knights who've just begun accumulating points, so we...

This surname——It's the Radiant Knight's——?

Without further ado, let us welcome the first participant of today's matches——

——Maria Nearl!
