Running Boy and Girl (走る少年少女) is a special short story given to those who purchased volume 7 of Sword Oratoria in Animate.
Summary[]
After the Hestia Familia's victory in the War Game with the Apollo Familia, Orario was filled with praise for Bell, who had prevailed in a one-on-one duel between enemy generals, with men and women of all races talking about him.
As she walked through the city, Lefiya didn't know how to feel about people's comments. She was unable to determine if she was jealous, upset, anxious, or if she had been fascinated by the boy's bravery. As if competing with people's praise, she began to list his bad qualities in her mind.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a vendor calling out Bell. After replying that he was going to the dungeon and thanking the merchant for the apple he had received, the boy ran towards Babel. Seeing Bell advance towards his goal with simple honesty and only his goal in mind made the doubts in Lefiya's heart disappear, as did her list of the boy's flaws.
The scene instead ignited the flame of a strong will. Unwilling to lose to him and with her determination renewed, Lefiya also began to run towards the dungeon.
