Chapter 215: Takeo, the Crown Prince
The following day, after training with the students at the practice area of the Ryuken Arena, Melina and I decided to walk around the city for a bit.
There were still three days for the tournament to start since we had to wait for the other participants to get to Kyotora, but that was on us after we arrived faster than we should have.
The students were still training at the practice area with the battle-maids and Vespera, and while Yoru was with us inside my shadow, it felt more like a date with just Melina and I walking around the city.
Seeing that we were somewhat standing out from the crowd with our outfits, we went to a clothing shop and got ourselves a kimono set to match the people around us.
Still, it didn’t matter how many times I had seen Melina. She always just looked beautiful in anything she wore.
We ate snacks from a bunch of different food stalls and took a peek at some of the weapons and trinkets in the shops until we came across an area called the "Red Street."
’Ah, this must be the place for those who do the "world’s oldest profession"...’ I thought.
Honestly, for a street that was centered on prostitution, it looked pretty clean and organized. However, as we were walking across, a woman was suddenly thrown out of one of the establishments right in front of us.
Noticing that the lady had her garments a bit shredded, Melina quickly approached the woman and placed her poncho around her to cover her.
