One minute passed, and <> ended.

Thirteen automata painted a portrait of their respective <>.

<>

The thing that automata love the most. It was each master.

I did some scoring, and the audience gave them all 100 points.

Since everyone has the same feelings for his/her master, the third subject was also a no-brainer. In fact, all of them came in first place.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

>! >>

<

There will be a 15-minute pause for preparation.

Each of you will be working on your automata and preparing props.

The audience can use the restroom during this time. The audience can go to the restroom while they do so. ......, but since not much time has passed since the lunch break, few people get up from their seats.

Fifteen minutes passed.

<>!　First, number 1, Natalia's Nave! >>

The venue has been cleared in the last 15 minutes, and is now a flat, empty field. The rough, light clothing is still in place.

Nave was standing in the middle of the field.

>

With a graceful gesture, Nave bows to the audience and to the host.

Next, he stands erect and still ......, then suddenly begins to move.

>

Theon exclaims.

The word "kenpo" did not exist in the Ars world originally, but such a concept seems to have been imported since the establishment of diplomatic relations with Mitsuho.

Before that time, it was simply called <<> or something similar.

Of course, Zion knows this because he has known Jin for a long time.

Shokken-tsuki, hand-to-hand, back-fist, front kick, back kick, and spinning kick...... are performed one after another in a flowing motion.

"Oh,...... you are very good!"

I'd like to know where he learned these moves.

"Father, perhaps from the golem guarding the island of Onogoro.

Reiko guessed. Jin had just had a final meeting with Reiko.

"Maybe."

Nave's performance was over.

There was a thunderous applause.

Merry comes out to the performance hall, not in her navy blue samurai costume, but in a pair of half pants and a T-shirt that she can move around in easily.

<<>

As soon as the event started, Merry started humming a tune. The melody is familiar to Jin.

(Is this ...... by any chance?).

Then Merry started to do exercises to the tune of the humming.

(I knew it was ...... radio calisthenics!)

Merry began to do .

, isn't it?

> a long time ago. It's a warm-up exercise.

Merry hummed a melody as she performed the exercises.

It takes about 3 minutes or so.

Then, with less than two minutes left, she performed her original exercises.

<>

The audience gave a big round of applause, and the show seemed to be well received.

>

Melanie of Eugene! This one also changed her clothes, perhaps to make a different impression.

From a teacher-like navy blue suit, she is now dressed in a chic one-piece dress. The hem is so long that it drags.

>

"~~ Petals scattered by the wind are a flower raft that colors the surface of the water......"

Melanie sang out. It seems to be an original song.

At the same time, she started to dance gently. She is a pop idol.

(Oh, not bad.)

(Oh, not bad at all.) From Jin's point of view, who has grown up watching various idols in modern Japan, she is quite determined.

The song ends after about two and a half minutes.

Melanie quickly takes off her costume.

>

The long dress-like outfit changes into a mini-skirt.

Then Melanie started to sing another song.

"~~ blue seas, white clouds, gentle winds carry my dreams ......".

The song was up-tempo. The choreography became rhythmical accordingly.

>

After singing for exactly 5 minutes, Melanie bowed deeply to the audience.

The audience cheered and applauded loudly.

>

>.

Char comes out to the competition hall wearing a long bright red dress.

<<>

As soon as she started, an up-tempo melody flowed from her mouth and she started dancing to it.

(Sounds like flamenco. ......)

(Flamenco sounds like flamenco. ) Flamenco is a Spanish dance.

That's all Jin knows about flamenco.

In fact, it is an art form from Andalusia, in the southern part of Spain. Not only dancing, but singing is also important .......

Anyway, to Jin, the song and the dance seemed to be flamenco,

>

>, said Zion.

<<><<><>, and Zion recognized the trend.

(Does this mean that they have inherited the culture of the squire tribe or the ...... indigenous people?)

(Is it possible that Vivian and Goose have discovered such a culture?

Char was also given a big round of applause.

The last event was a great success.
