Diablo’s group withdrew to the guest house pretending that it was for medical treatment.
In his private room, he was alone together with Rose. Taking off the top half of her tattered clothing, he checked on her right shoulder.
He was unfamiliar with machines, but the metal tea bowl-like joint part was crushed open, and it seemed that the sphere on the arm’s side was out of place. In other words, it was definitely broken beyond a doubt.
「You’ve been done in quite flashily.」
「I am terribly sorry, Master. I had been defeated.」
「So both potions and priest’s miracles are unusable.」
「It is because this Rose is a Magimatic.」
「Is there anyone that can repair you?」
To begin with, was there a setting as to where she was made and by who?
「Something like a manufacturer is not in my database, but if we go to Master’s base, there is a maintenance bed.」
「The 《Demon King’s Labyrinth》 huh.」
「I cannot perfectly attend to Master with only one arm.」
「That’s true.」
Diablo breathed a sigh.
While being considerate and trying to not look at her chest as much as possible, he put her clothes back to how they were.
「Specifically, pai●ri and three point attacks have become impossible.」
「I haven’t had you do that before, right!?」
He reflexively shouted.
Going *Ahem……*, Diablo cleared his throat and corrected himself.
「Those sorts of acts are unnecessary, but I cannot leave being the vanguard to you as you are now. It would be best to fix you up quickly.」
「Yes.」
Diablo’s base, the 《Demon King’s Labyrinth》, was on the outskirts of Zircon Tower City in the Demon King territory.
However, Zircon Tower City was abandoned due to the Demon King army’s aggression, and was now not a base for the Races.
「Since the land routes are not possible, I guess I’ll use Transfer again.」
He had a countless number of Transfer-type items that he had stocked up on. However, since Rose was treated as a tool, she was unable to use Transfer on her own. It seemed that she could move about freely within the base though.
To go to the base, Diablo would need to take her there.
She hung her head.
「To think I would become a bother to Master……This Rose is a failure of a maid.」
「Rose……」
Diablo embraced her head as she was feeling depressed. In order to demonstrate that he cherished her.
「M, Master……!?」
In a rare event, she became flustered.
However, she did not refuse him. It was an act that he thought would be alright, but he was actually glad that she didn’t hate it.
「It really helps me that you are always the first one to jump into danger. You getting injured is also due to my response being late. I should have sensed them much faster, and restrained them before they got close.」
Honestly, going against those two Demonic Beings at the same time while protecting the people around him would have been difficult though.
「Master is always perfect!」
「……So that I can be like that, I will become even stronger.」
He spoke out what he had been thinking since a little while ago.
「In this other world, even if other Classes are leveled up, it seems that the abilities of one’s original Class are not lost.」
「Yes.」
「I am thinking of expanding to the Warrior-type.」
「Master is going to be a Warrior!?」
「Does it not suit me?」
The Great Demon King Modinalaam’s type was unknown, but if it were a Warrior-type, it would surely be faster than the Cyclops Demonic Being. Even the china dress Demonic Being might be overwhelmingly faster than Diablo.
To protect his allies from them, only evading like he had done up until now was no good.
That being said, this was not limited to cutting through with firepower.
“Receiving” was needed.
──I never thought that I would aim to become a 《Punching Magician》 though.
「I had heard an interesting story from a certain Warrior, you see. Once this country reaches a point where we can pause, I intend on trying to visit the northern mountains.」
「If it is Master’s idea, there is no mistake that is the correct action. By all means, do as you wish. While Rose is repairing this unsightly wound on the bed, she will be dreaming of the day she can serve you once again and will continue waiting for it. No matter how long.」
「I do not feel that it will be that slow and take so much time though.」
In this other world, leveling up is difficult. If done normally, it would surely take up one’s whole life to master sword techniques.
However, if he could do Warrior-type training while having his abilities as a Magician in reserve, he should be able to take a shortcut that was prohibited even in the game. It was another experiment.
