I was banished from bed with my lover by a brave man, but my 'XP Savings' skill broke and

We're going through a room like a reception room, and we're going to sit back on the couch.

The windows showed a good stream of rivers.

"You look like a hero in that outfit, crusaded by the Demon King"

"For once, I'm supposed to be a brave man. I don't have a job."

"A brave man without a job? Human beings do pretty funny things too."

Mugen, who makes tea in a vessel called a hot drink, laughed whether he was happy with my story.

This person has no gaps at all.

If I fought, I'd lose 90% of the time.

Cultivated combat techniques sometimes, they say, can overtake, not just fill the level difference.

The level or skill is not always absolute.

It is only a basic ability, and it is up to the owner to make the most of it.

I'm still in a state of power.

On the other hand, he is a mighty man of war who took forever to forge.

It's obvious you don't have a chance to win.

However, is it your will as a warrior that you still want to fight for?

"So, if you were talking about wanting to use the magic formations of metastasis that are in our country, or if you're going to defeat that blinding demon king, you can't even hope. But I don't agree that unconditional."

"Grandpa!?

Pione speaks up, but I took control of her with my hands.

Neither do I believe this one will allow me to use the magic formations unconditionally.

Because this is going to be a clear hostility to the Demon King.

If we fail, a war will break out between this country and the Demon King.

"The demon king who says that Lisa and so on only sees us demons as tools. A messenger arrived the other day and told me to act as a shield against invasion by both human beings. I was surprised you didn't know I had a choice."

He goes on to talk about how dissatisfied he was.

"We sent many supplies and money to celebrate the inauguration of the Demon King. That woman slaughtered and abandoned the messenger on the spot as' less'. Besides, they threaten to attack me if I don't get under my umbrella unconditionally. Extremely disrespectful at once, not us helping such demon kings!

I slammed the water on the table.

I guess my anger flared up while we were talking.

All I can say is I feel sorry for you.

But I know exactly why I would betray the Demon King.

"Even more! That woman, more importantly, drew our enemy, the brave one! Historical Demon King fought with dignity and showed us his majesty! What's that weakness! If you're the Demon King, fight from the front! Fuguuuuu, your blood pressure is going up!!

"Grandpa, calm down. Let's calm down."

"Sorry Pione. I got so excited."

Mugen who can stroke his head.

Makes a very sloppy face.

Ha ha, he sat back and corrected his collar.

"Anyway, there are terms. You will cross a dangerous bridge, and you will never be allowed to fail."

"What are the conditions?

"Fight me and win."

I knew it would happen.

You don't even ask a guy who doesn't know his strength.

That sucks, you might not win.

Yet I was smiling naturally.

"Fuck, you laugh at me. Funny guy."

"This is still a warrior's end. It's normal for you to want to fight him."

"Now, Lord, you're an idiot. But that's what I like to say."

Grandpa, too.

I know because I'm an idiot. You must be quite an idiot, too.

"Tomorrow there will be a battle in front of the palace. You should ask Pione where it is."

"How far can I use it, by the way?

"Scrolling and other items are prohibited. Without the help of the people there. One-on-one battle. It is also forbidden to use holy weapons. Use this weapon."

"Okay."

I'm a little anxious about weapons, but I guess it's time to be able to handle them without the Holy Sword.

Let me give you a good opportunity to remember control of your powers.

"By the way, what's your relationship with Pione?"

"Hmm? Normally a friend?

"Then fine. Don't get any closer. Pione won't do it to anyone."

"Grandpa!?

How much I love my grandchildren.

Well, Pione is adorable, for sure, but I haven't seen it with my eyes that say so, and they won't even see it.

Don't worry, Grandpa.

"Mr. Pione, your husband is blunt."

"Yeah!?

"Good luck anyway. I'm not backing you up."

"Ugh!?

For some reason Pione looks at me with a stunned look.

Why are you about to cry??

◇

After our conversation with Mugen, we decided to have dinner outside, not at the inn.

A dining room with seats on the river side.

The area is completely dimmed and the wall across the street shines orange with the building lights.

Between the walls and the walls, the lights hanging with strings hang, and cool winds blow through the valley.

The fantastic sight of a distant place even makes me think I've come to a different world.

"This is our specialty here."

"You're a big prawn"

On the plate placed was a larger shrimp with long hands.

Did you just boil it up or the white hot air rises from the red crust?

If I cracked the head and torso part, my white body was exposed and my head was full of miso.

"I thought it was delicious, but delicate and delicious"

"Yes, shrimp here is very famous in other countries. A lot of people come to this city looking for this."

"Ah, but if you look closely, there are all kinds of races here."

"Yeah, well"

If you look at the road on the other side, you can see the Beasts and Lizardmans from time to time.

Apparently, the Demons aren't the only ones living in the dark realm.

Maybe this way the Demon side isn't so different from the Human side either.

"I'm sorry, Thor. I can't believe you're going to fight Grandpa."

"Nothing good. If we don't beat Mugen, we won't beat Lisa."

"If your grandfather feels like he's going to kill you, you're going to admit to losing early, right? Grandpa's gonna try to kill somebody real quick."

"Oh, oh... be careful"

I don't think I can help you to talk.

I could die if I didn't do it for real.

But I really appreciate this opportunity.

It's hard now to see someone you're seriously going to bump into.

Let's give Mugen his opponent a full shot at how far he can go.

"Master, that sounds like fun"

"Oh, I'm excited about how far it'll work for that grandpa"

Kaede, next door, has scraped his tail, looking delightfully at it.

When I stroke your head, I narrow my eyes to make you feel good.

Tomorrow, as the two lords, we'll have to fight shamelessly.

"... All right"

Back at the inn, I open the door and make sure there's no one in the hallway.

I'm going to take a bath.

It's near midnight for male guests to get in.

They only have one bath in the inn, so men's and women's water are set in time.

Soot, quickly advance down the aisle and hide yourself at a bend.

"I hear there's a man staying with us today."

"You're an idiot who saw a woman anyway. Sometimes I'm here, the guy who comes to stay with weird dreams."

"I'm just disillusioned with reality."

A woman in underwear walks by as she talks.

Besides, my upper body is just hanging a towel around my neck.

I don't care what you look like.

But you won't be disillusioned.

I'd rather appreciate it.

Thank you for the temporary dream.

I ran down the aisle again and managed to get into the bathroom.

"Phew."

I didn't have to go out of my way to hide, but I was somewhat reluctant to make a grand difference.

You know, I don't know where to look in front of you without them either.

Plus, if they find out you're looking at your chest, they might scream.

You shouldn't be in sight to spend the night in peace.

Take off your clothes and go into the cage.

Hang the towel on your shoulder and head straight to the bathroom.

I remember exactly what I learned in Greyfield.

Wash your body first, then dip it in the hot tub.

Proceed through a bathroom full of hot air and sit in the appropriate chair.

Oh, what is this place equipped with soap?

Wash your head with Shishaka soap, then carefully wash your body as well.

Zabu, if you wear hot water from your head, it's done.

Let's go to the hot tub.

"Phew, that's extremely easy."

"Is anyone there?

Bullshit, there's a water noise and a shadow is approaching.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Why are there other guys here?

It was a naked pione who showed up.

"Hino, Tor!?

"Wait, calm down!

Hold Pione close and hold her mouth.

If they scream, no questions asked, I'll be the sinner.

When that happens, it tastes all kinds of bad.

"Mr. Pione, your husband needs to leave now..."

"" Ah. "

"Ho, ho, ho, ho."

Caede and I glanced into the bathroom, and at about the same time Pione sank into the water.
