by fnovelpia[I won’t do anything… .]
He said he would consider retirement.
By spying on Caesar through Atrot’s vision, he discovered many things.
First of all, Caesar was extremely careful about Ronica. I don’t know what made me judge him that way, but it was clear that there was no immediate hostility.
In other words, he is not the enemy.
For now.
and… The information from Medis came next.
This one was pretty interesting.
The title of Him.
Who is it really referring to?
If you think about it, Medis said that he would carry on the will of the first warrior.
Could it be that he is related to the first hero?
Or it’s you… .
Moreover, Atrot was told not to be eaten. The clues are coming together. It is clear that he has been mentally tormented by someone.
Whatever it is, Medis doesn’t have an easy life.
It’s like I’m just being swayed here and there.
If you think about it, even the past life skill didn’t work. At the time, I thought Artrot was making a mark, but looking at it now, I don’t think so.
The classification of cases is now familiar. In my view, the status of Atrot was not given to Medis. But I’m not sure if it feels different because it’s so well hidden… .
The past life string didn’t work.
In other words, a different status resides in Medis.
Maybe it has something to do with Caesar… .
He is a tougher guy than you think. I don’t know what he’s planning, but I know very well that this guy hides a power as dangerous as godhood.
However, we also hide our power.
That’s probably why Caesar is trying to avoid clashing with us.
boy.
It’s good to see you. If they had been hostile towards us, this castle would have been blown away right away.
Still, you don’t know what the future holds.
He was a very unpleasant guy.
You might need to keep a close eye on it.
Of course, there is nothing to worry about.
Because later we will become stronger. So much so that it rivals Godhead.
[If you’ve seen everything, I’ll stop.]
[okay. I don’t want to sit around leisurely watching government affairs.]
Sigh~
I disconnected from Artrot and opened my eyes.
The disciple is still in the middle of the banquet on the second day. I looked around blankly from above my shoulder. The disciple was exchanging greetings with several people.
[Are you here?]
Soon after, the little Atrot who had been watching over Caesar returned.
For some reason, he made eye contact with me.
A sign that you have something to say.
[Caesar. He was an unpleasant guy, but no matter how you looked at him, he had a lot of things hidden. How about secretly assassinating him instead? Isn’t there a law that might become a troublesome enemy in the future?]
[Then you can deal with it then. Because then I will be much stronger than I am now.]
[Tsk. Increase your confidence. I knew that would happen, so I just warned you.]
[warning? To Caesar?]
[There is no need to worry.]
[…] What warning did you give?]
[Hehe. Don’t fuss with the beast sitting on the shoulder of an aspiring warrior. If you are not confident in climbing to the 98th floor alone. How do you feel? Wouldn’t this guy be scared at this level? It’s become a lot of fun!!]
[…] … … This is crazy!!!]
*
[An animal cub sitting on the shoulder of a humble aspiring warrior… Don’t fool around with that guy. If you are not confident in climbing to the 98th floor alone.]
“… … … !!!”
Jump up.
Caesar stood up.
Raise your mana and be on alert.
If you just eat it right now, you can fire multiple attack and defense spells.
But nothing was seen.
“Huh?… .”
Sreuk~
Something just disappeared along with the voice.
“… … … .”
dump.
I sat down on the chair again.
I continued my thoughts calmly.
A huge force that I just felt.
It was clearly deity.
Such a person warned himself.
It was different from the being I met in my lost memories. It had a clearly different energy and voice, and the size of the class was also different.
But the problem is that it is the same type of warning.
Probably water refund.
Don’t attack him.
“… That’s what I was thinking… … ha… .”
I sighed heavily.
It’s not just Ronika.
Water withdrawal was also a major risk factor.
No, everything related to them is dangerous.
It was said to be on the 98th floor.
There is a god on the other side, hiding such great power.
Did they say the world is wide?
I can’t bring myself to fight it.
Fortunately, if there are no hostile intentions, the other side doesn’t seem to make much of an effort.
You must absolutely keep this in mind.
Do not touch or stimulate it.
and.
“Strength is needed.”
I am still weak.
If he fought, he would die.
… You must become strong at all costs.
Until then.
“I guess I’ll have to live as if the rat is dead… .”
He muttered bitterly.
*
The banquet is over.
Ronica and Fiona returned to their lodgings.
“Whoa~ It’s finally over!!~”
“Strange men. He keeps talking to me.”
“Fiona is quite popular with her peers? Well, it’s so cute and pretty!”
“… Heh.”
For your information, although I didn’t mention it, quite a few children from noble families also attended. It must have been to match her with an outstanding noble warrior.
Among them, there were a few who attacked Ronica. It seemed like it was probably done by Ronika’s parents who recognized her talent.
Of course, they all caught a cold and disappeared shivering.
For reference, this is Artrot’s work.
[How was it? I chased away all those who clung to your disciple!]
That doesn’t mean the sin goes away, but… .
It really bothers me that I arbitrarily revealed my information to Caesar.
So, I threatened to cut off Ronica’s allowance for the time being and not supply her with mana to go out to the city, but she has been acting like a benevolent person since a while ago.
[…] Phew… … .]
[ah! I really only have that much. If you have to fight Caesar, shouldn’t this body help you? What are you worried about?]
Upright.
That’s not bad… .
no no.
You must not pass by.
If a more dangerous enemy other than Caesar appears, I will be in trouble if I recklessly reveal my information.
At this point, we need to provide proper education. No matter how powerful Artrot is, I am in a contractually superior position right now.
I can’t not use it.
I will make sure you never do something like this again.
First, I ignored it and focused on Ronika.
“Black aang~ Put on white mode.”
“… hot! Black transformation transformation!!”
Tiring~
◎︎ Use the White Bone Reaper.
◎︎ The race is temporarily changed to undead.
“Kya~ Cool black and white dog!!”
“Ears, tail!! White ears and tail!!!”
I hung out with the two guys for a while.
For your information, Fiona lived in the same training camp dorm as Ronica and saw me in my undead form several times. Every time, it ran towards me with its eyes sparkling.
Dealing with this guy is easy.
Softly~
If you wag your tail like this.
“Kwaaa!!!”
It becomes a beast and chases its tail.
Tododog!!
It’s also quite fun to avoid it.
“Hehe. Me too!!”
The disciple also follows along.
An unexpected game of tag began in a small room.
*
The end of a very unpleasant banquet.
The cadets returned to the training center by carriage.
Meanwhile, Chalosi’s complexion had cleared up as if she had been treated well, and Lapis began writing a diary about meeting the prince.
And Astradik, who followed his brother out alone, has a serious expression on his face.
It feels like something is boiling hot.
The eyes are different.
Even as I took my time, my goal of becoming stronger became clearer.
That guy will get stronger from here.
Lastly, Medis.
On the morning of the second banquet, he disappeared without anyone noticing. Given the circumstances, it seems like he was acting separately from the king… As expected, he has a rotten expression.
It is certainly.
He is the king’s irresistible puppet.
Medis is also someone I don’t like, but I don’t like it when I think that Caesar was the one who created Medis.
After all, it would be good to be wary of Caesar as a potential enemy.
I have gained new strength, so I am not afraid.
but… .
Isabelle prophesied to me on the first day.
My trust level is less than 30, but because of me, several kingdoms may fall and a new fantastic country may appear and change.
Perhaps Caesar was also greatly involved.
I need to get stronger faster.
So much so that I am not afraid of being deified.
“… … Cologne~”
With that in mind, I decided to sleep in the carriage.
Return to training camp routine.
*
Arrival at training camp.
“I already heard the news. The director is very happy that everyone returned safely.”
The training center director happily welcomed the cadets. This is because as rumors spread that the cadet standards are very high, the position of the training center director is growing in real time.
It was the time when I was riding the carriage.
In a separate communication, I received a promise of more support from the royal family.
The best educational institution in the kingdom in name and reality.
Now it has become a fitting name.
“Hysterion grandpa!”
[haha. It’s Ronica. I heard the news.]
The disciple returned to the dormitory and immediately attempted to communicate with Hysterion.
I was the one doing the talking.
“Hysterion. I met Caesar. He is someone whose true intentions are unknown.”
[haha. Didn’t I tell you? I met you once. I also couldn’t figure it out at all. I am a merchant who can see through everything.]
“There was no hostility, but it would be better to be cautious. He had spied on Ronika once. It seemed like they suspected him of being the culprit in the duke incident. He was on guard throughout the banquet.”
[her? However, I heard that he directly praised Ronica.]
“On the outside, it seems so.”
[hmm… I know what you mean. But there’s nothing to worry about. After the Duke incident, I secretly prepared to step out at any time. Now it’s okay to start a war at any time. Hehehe.]
“That’s good to hear.”
Afterwards, Ronica intervened.
“Grandpa! Please investigate the King’s whereabouts. He was a very strong man and easily changed his appearance and identity. We need to investigate whether that person has a different identity than the one he is trying to disguise.“
[Ho… indeed. After all, wasn’t he an ordinary person? Change your appearance easily… That information would be worth investigating. It’s good. I will investigate separately to see if there are any hidden activities of the king.]
“Yes! Thank you always.”
[Hehehe. what. I’m just happy that my insight has become deeper.]
“It’s all thanks to Grandpa!”
A heartwarming conversation.
The disciple must have decided to be wary of Caesar because of this incident, so he also asked Rowen to investigate Caesar separately.
He disguises his identity and appearance.
Investigate his hidden whereabouts.
He is also my disciple.
I can’t believe I’m thinking of investigating the king, picking out things I hadn’t even thought of. If I’m going to have a battle of brains, I’ll have to leave it to my student.
It is definitely not the intelligence of a child.
If you play something like chess, wouldn’t you be a matchless player?
and… .
He’s my disciple!
Scrunch~
“Hehe. I’ve been petting him often these days.”
“That’s because it’s special.”
“Then… You can hug me. I’m now very familiar with human blacks!”
“Ho? then… .”
Sr-
“Wait!!… Well, I’m embarrassed too.”
“… … … ?”
The disciple’s cheeks blush.
Do you withdraw as soon as you say something?
Actually, I was planning to put my arms around each other in a healthy way… .
I guess I haven’t been able to shake off the burden yet.
There is nothing we can do.
[What are you doing! Be careful!!]
[hmm?]
[Hurry up and hug me!!]
Artrot’s frustrated eyes.
For some reason, my body moved first.
Come on~
“Huh!!”
what… It is a warm body temperature.
The warmth I want to protect.
We’ll stay like this for a while… … .
“Me too!!”
Tup!
Suddenly, Fiona opened her arms and hugged us all at once.
“Hehe… It’s just good~”
Ronica soon hugged Fiona and me together.
So the three of us were together.
It’s not that bad… .
*
Chalosi glances at me during every training session.
Hailo continues to be surprised and guides his students.
The training director sometimes looks at Ronika and laughs.
Medis sighs every time she passes by us.
Aleph swings his sword every day without any presence.
Astradik spars with Ronica all day.
Lapis… Myorin keeps sending me.
Without any choice, I board Myorini and rest.
A few days have passed like that.
lodging.
[Venus and Pasanchae returned from the tower.]
“Really?”
Rowen has communicated.
Venus and Pasanchae, who were literally climbing the tower, ended their expedition.
Venus climbs the 10th floor.
Afterwards, he gathered items and public values on the 5th floor and stocked up on several items in cooperation with Goliath.
Although it is still in its infancy, more items will be airlifted in the next expedition, and there are people who have acquired stealth and telepathy skills, so they plan to use them as special informants.
However, two people died while climbing. Therefore, those who remained had to become stronger in order to survive, and they gritted their teeth and trained in the face of their comrade’s death.
Death was sufficient motivation.
The expeditionary force’s strength increased further.
Ronika expressed regret at this.
“I see… If there are any survivors, please provide generous compensation.”
[I will definitely do that. Oh, and the bankruptcy bonds-]
The situation is no different with bankruptcy bonds.
17 people killed.
Since he was a bandit, he seems to have fought many people. Instead, it is said that he earned a lot of public value… Erica will be able to use it well.
Because he’s a guy with big ambitions.
Is it because of that?
He ordered additional subordinates to learn smelting and armor making skills at the tower.
Originally, decent weapons were being sent to Venus through the warlock, but it was very slow and I made it almost alone, so it was not very effective.
However, during this expedition, we have learned a lot of techniques from people with good dexterity and are making weapons.
Venus is the resource.
The magic enchantment is done by a warlock.
They even created enchantment items for mass production.
Since there will be a surplus of labor, it will be the best blacksmith shop, at least when it comes to mass production.
It’s growing on its own.
“Everyone is working hard… Then I can’t lose either!!”
“Do you want to practice?”
“Yes! I’m going to breathe mana all night today. I’m starting to feel my breathing while I’m sleeping.”
“… Let me help you. I will tell you the feeling.”
The disciple burns his will.
Please, let it continue like this.
So, back to daily life.
Repeated training began.
