The day before the mock battle, after finishing the last training, I couldnât even walk anymore. It was a hassle to sweat in the bath, so I asked Efil to wipe my body lightly and collapsed like last night. I didnât feel like returning to my room, so the place was the sofa in the living room.
âI wonder if you can think of a better way. Iâm afraid Iâll die if this continues every day?â
âThis is the most efficient way. If anyone is at risk of losing his life, he will grow beyond their limits.â
âAre you really an angel?â
Todayâs training was harder than yesterday. I avoided Melfinaâs onslaught while casting Death wind Sickle, and accurately counteracting Melfinaâs magic that was unleashed with the scythe. If I didnât pay attention to my feet, the restraint of ice cast by blue magic will creep up, and Efilâs arrow fired from a distance. Whatâs more, a serious arrow, the âPyro hydraâ of eight heads would be released without any adjustment, I didnât think I was able to put it out. However, when I cared only about Efil, Melfina set up a hand. Parallel thinking was also busy.
[If you shoot, shoot seriously. A slight injury can be cured with Melâs or my magic.]
I want to hit myself half a day ago when I said such a stupid thing. Thanks to that, my whole body is full of burns and frostbite. This is what it means to earn my own money! Well, I cured myself!
âSo, I think we use carrots and sticks properly in this way. Hmm⌠Yes, next is the left ear.â
âIâm convinced, I shouldnâtâŚâ
If the training of hell is a whip, this situation now is probably candy. Iâm now having my ears picked on Melfinaâs lap. Her ear-picking technic is not as good as Efilâs, but it is strangely vexing that I calmed down.
âHave you been healed a little?â
âWell, yeah.â
âExcellent.â
Maybe Iâm afraid Iâll forgive this.\n
âEven so, I was surprised by Sara.â
âHmm? Oh, itâs about the evolution. I didnât think it would be that strong.â
âNo, itâs about the monster she defeated in the dungeon.â
Monster? Is the white wolf that was served at lunch today? Certainly, when it was taken out of Clothoâs storage, I was surprised at that big size. And it was delicious, so much that my cheeks fell.
âThat was one of the pillars that my predecessor, God, created all over the world, but I never thought she would defeat itâŚâ
âIsnât it bad that if you defeat that type of guy?â
The direction is different from what I thought.
âDid it taste good? I enjoyed it.â
âIs the character different, or is it a problem to eat?â
âItâs okay. It seems that my predecessor was dismissed because he wasnât good at the god pillar, and the god pillar itself has almost lost its function on my time. So, it would be more beneficial to feed your experience. This time, Sara probably touched the god pillars. The role of the god pillars on the surface is to exterminate demons and demon kings in an emergency. â
âThatâs why the pillar reacted. So, what did your predecessor try to do? Did he try to destroy the world?â
âWell, why? Hmm ⌠Yes, I finish it.â
She evaded the question. I raised my head from Melfinaâs lap and sit back on the couch.
âDoes it have something to do with your last story? You see, you said that.â
It was a conversation before starting training with Melfina yesterday. At that time, it was a rare but serious atmosphere.\n[The man you fought the other day, Clive, did he really call himself a reincarnator?]
âI told you that Clive did say that at that time. You were surprised the moment you heard my words.â
âThat kind of thing isââ
âI have been with you for months. I rarely see Melâs surprised expression, so I knew right away.â
âYouâre really sensitive to this, even though youâre missing something.â
Melfina laughed bitterly.
âI didnât want to tell you about the circumstances of the gods as much as possible.â
âI want to hear if possible.â
You canât sleep like this.
âOh, it canât be helped. I explained the difference between summoning a different world person and summoning a reincarnated person before.â
âOh, I heard it before reincarnating and summoning Rion. What happened?â
âIn addition to the regular summoning using divine protection like Collet, there are rare cases where a other-worlder gets lost in this world. If you compare it to your world style, you can express it as spirited away. Is it okay? There are various causes, such as accidents or coincidence. Most of the foreigners living in this world are lost due to the latter. â
Certainly, the number of shrine maidens that can summon is too small for the recognition of different worlds. Will Tsubaki-samaâs ancestors of Trage be like that?
âBut there are no exceptions to the reincarnation summoning, which are always done through the reincarnation god, because in fact I was working through my subordinates during Rionâs summoning.â
âIsnât Mel involved in the reincarnation of Clive?â\n\nâThatâs right. Itâs faster for Melfina to ask Colette. Why donât you ask tomorrow?â
âI forgot to say, but tomorrow I will be within your magical power.â
âOh, yeah. Itâs awkward to have Mel, the reincarnation god, in a place where are people involved in Delamis.â
If you are a shrine maiden who reports directly to Melfina, you may be able to find out just by looking at her.
âThere is that too ⌠but sheâs a little sick.â
ââŚ?â
What does she mean? When I was wondering, the living roomâs door opened vigorously. Hey everyone, letâs open the door quietly. It will break someday.
âKelvin! Iâm coming to drink as a pre-celebration for tomorrow!â
âMy Liege! Let us have a drink tonight!â
âWow!â
âIâm sorry Iâm in Kel-nii, I couldnât stop it âŚâ
A tipsy Gerard with Luca on his shoulders, and a tension max Sara with Rion clinging to her hips as if dragged by, got into the room. And modestly behind were Efil and Clotho.
âOh, we have to do it moderately, right?â
âIâm so sleepy right nowâŚâ [TN I guess itâs Kelvin saying these two sentences.]
I knew it would be useless if I say something, so I put forth the little strength I had and cast âRefreshing Breeze in myself.
