A New Shishou?
On the day that we defeated the bandits, we decided to sojourn in the village the bandits had stayed. It’s great that we rescued the women, but everybody’s exhaustion was worse than I’d thought so I couldn’t be making them walk until the nearby town.
Well, as one would expect, I burned down the houses that the women were confined in though. After all, some women burst into tears just looking at those houses, and it’s also unsanitary. Everybody agreed with me as well.
Amongst the rescued women, some cry and scream just looking at us, men, so it’s necessary to look after those people as well. I think it’ll be fine since Alexia looks at them one by one to see if they have any abnormalities, and Helen interviews each one of them.
The other girls, the rescued women, and additionally, even Hilde-san, are nursing the girls who are physically weakened and the girls who are emotionally weakened. Hilde-san, as to be expected from the Light Dragon Ruler, her Light Magic is impressive. Just by using her Light Magic on the girls who are in a state of confusion, she’s able to calm them down.
If I were to say what us guys are doing, in the time that the girls are nursing them and so forth in such manners,
“Is that all you guys can doo! Especially Lei! If that’s all you’ve got, I can’t leave Eclat to you! or rather, diee!”
we’re having Levine-san train us. It initially started for the sake of seeing the capabilities of me, whom Eclat wants to follow, but Levine-san began to say,「the other fellows as well, bring it on!」, and Dargris and the others also participated. I’m the only one who’s currently standing though. In addition to that
“Hey, what’s the matter, Lei! Do you want to die! You want to die, yeah! In that case, dieee!”
Levine-san, who says, moves in front of me, and punches at me with his lightning-clad left hand. This person, all his punches against me are filled with killing intent!
“Chaos Vortex Body Endowment, Weapon Endowment! Offensive Spear Of Black Lightning(Kuroikazuchi)!”
I clash my Rolgar, that I clad in black lightning, with Levine-san’s left hand. My lightning and Levine-san’s lightning are colliding and scattering sparks buzzingly but,
“Ain’t good enough!”
he says, and I carry on to be blown away. Shit! I got out-pushed!
“Tsk! Why aren’t you coming at me seriously. You looking down on me? Aah!?”
“Er, using it where everybody is looking is a little”
I don’t want to implicate them after all. I’ve been doing it where everybody isn’t around even when I train with Shishou after all.
“You think, I, will implicate the surroundings. Ora, bring it on!”
“If you’re gonna go that far, let’s go Hikarin, Lightning Heavenly Garment!”
In the next instant, bluish-purple lightning surges through my body. Dargris, Cait, Birdon, who are witnessing this figure of mine for the first time, made surprised expressions, even Alexia and the others who were nursing the women, they came out from the mansion because my magic power suddenly swelled up.
“Ou, that’s good. Bring it!”
“Here I go!”
I let the lightning gush out and thrust at Levine-san. I’m up against an Attribute Ruler. I want to test how much it’ll work!
◇◇◇
“Haa, haa”
“I may have been in human form, but be that as it may, you’ve done pretty decently to have wounded this body. Well, it’s about a passing mark”
“Wh, why, thanks”
Shit, there’s too much difference in strength. He may even be stronger than Shishou. No matter how much I try attacking, he defends with his lightning-clad arm. I repelled both his arms and finally managed to injure his body and yet he’s as lively as ever. As I’m looking at such Levine-san
“But, at this rate, you can’t win against the Seven Demon Generals that completely regained their power”
“Wha!”
I was surprised by Levine-san’s sudden words.
“Why, do you know about the Seven Demon Generals!?”
“Huh? How many hundred years do you think I’ve lived. I’d known all about those fellows as well as the events 300 years ago”
Levine-san who says and looks in the distance.
“Did Levine-san participate in that battle as well?”
“Aah, since there’s the Dark Dragon Ruler amongst them Seven Demon Generals. Us, Attribute Rulers, had also participated for the sake of stopping that fellow”
To think that, there’s actually an Attribute Ruler amongst the Seven Demon Generals.
“All of them can use Level 9 Magic. Even amongst them, the Demon Lord and Dark Dragon Ruler can use up to Level 10. As you are right now, you’ll undoubtedly die”
Levine-san who says and returns to the mansion. He’s saying that I’m lacking as I am now huh. Level 10 Magic in order to oppose them. But, it’s easier said than
“It’s alright to not think that hard about it”
a gentle voice speaks to me from behind as I’m looking at my right hand. I turn around and, Hilde-san, who’s carrying Eclat in her bosom, was standing there.
“I heard from everybody else, it seems Sylphid is your Shishou, that child should also know. Besides, it looks like that person has taken a liking to you as well”
Hilde-san who says, looks at Levine-san’s back view, and smiles. Eclat, who’s being carried in her bosom, then takes flight from there and lands on my head. And then, she’s patting my head lightly like she’s cheering me up.
“Thanks, Eclat”
When I stroke Eclat’s head, Eclat chirrups, ‘Kyuru Kyuru’, happily as well. Un, it’s calming. When I’m relaxing in such a manner
“Lei, the majority of the treatments are completed”
and Alexia comes over.
“In that case”
“Eeh, as planned, Helen and I will head to the closest territory, meet with Baron Mangus, and borrow carriages”
It was decided when everybody gathered here; we, who thought that, at this rate, we won’t be able to bring the women along, decided to let Alexia and Helen go first to the closest territory, Baron Mangus Territory, and borrow carriages from the Feudal Lord, Baron Mangus.
If this country’s Princess, Alexia, and Prime Minister’s daughter, Helen, go, they probably won’t be turned away at the gate, so it ended up with these two going.
We’ll be on standby in this village in the meantime. One of the reasons is also because Alexia and Helen are using one of the two carriages, so we have no means of transport, but as expected, it’s because we can’t leave the women behind and go off by ourselves.
After all, monsters come to this village sometimes, and by any chance, other bandits might come too. It ended up with us having to stay behind for the sake of protecting them from that.
It seems they’ve decided to depart tomorrow, and it appears that they’ll take it easy here for today. It looks like they’ll use today to recuperate because they’ve used their magic power for the treatments. Their magic power is going to run dry if they treat nearly 50 people huh.
“Thanks for your hard work, Alexia”
I say and stroke Alexia’s head. I do that and Alexia smiles while blushing. Thereupon
“Kyurukyuu!”
Eclat, who’s on top of my head, is saying something. She’s extending her arm towards Alexia, so maybe there’s something wrong with Alexia? I move my head closer towards Alexia’s direction……woah, her face is close.
Alexia, whose eyes met with mine, blushes once again. It’s embarrassing for me as well if you make such a face to me.
“Kyuukyururun!”
Paying no attention to such things, Eclat pats Alexia’s head lightly. It’s as though she’s imitating me. I guess Eclat is also thanking Alexia for her effort. Alexia also understands that so
“Fufu, thanks Eclat”
Alexia who says and strokes Eclat’s head. Eclat also delightedly chirrups, ‘Kyuru’. It’s back on the move again from tomorrow onwards. I want the tranquillity to last at least for today.
