Episode Title:
Laika Entered a Martial Arts Tournament
Episode Description:
As Laika does laundry, she recalls her first meeting with Azusa. Fightie arrives and practices combat training with Laika to prepare for a martial arts tournament. However, Fightie injures her back and turns back into her slime form. As a result, she cannot enter the tournament by herself in this state, so Laika decides to accompany her as a slime-mancer. They easily win the first round, with Azusa being impressed that Fightie can still fight even while in slime form. After winning more rounds, they face off against a knight named Domremy. Fightie manages to defeat him by attacking him from the inside of his armor. Having won the prize money, Fightie leaves to fulfill her dream of being a martial artist. Having been staring at the nearby mountains for some time, Flatorte reveals that her homeland is close to their location and takes Azusa there for a visit, though she worries how her kind will react to her return since blue dragons mostly care for power; Laika also accompanies them. Arriving, they find the place is in a snowy area. They also meet Flatorte's parents along with the other blue dragons, who are all interested in challenging Azusa; Flatorte warns her that they may come to her house to challenge her if she declines. The dragons are one by one easily defeated, but Laika also wants to fight Azusa to show off her training. She too loses the fight. Afterwards, while heading home, Azusa is glad that the blue dragons accepted her. Later, Laika and Flatorte challenge each other to a game of ping-pong.
