Old Bai stroked his beard and gave another chuckle, his half-closed eyes slightly opened a little, looking at the man with dark circles in front of him, he didn't know what he was laughing at.

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from afar.

"Master Rimuru, where are you, Master Rimuru? I have delicious snacks here."

Old Bai touched his bearded hand and froze slightly.

The expression on Jiafan's face at this time is not only distressed.

"Eh? Old Bai, and Gavan is here too. Have you seen Lord Rimuru?"

Holding a large plate in his hand, there were quite a few things on it, uh, things that looked like tentacles wrapped in dough, Shion smiled and waved in this direction.

"Speaking of which, are you hungry now? Would you like to try the takoyaki balls I just made..."

"Yo, good morning, Ziyuan!"

Gavan put on a warm smile on his face and waved his hand to say hello. At the same time, he kept walking towards the training ground.

"I just had breakfast, I'm not hungry at all, and now I'm about to practice swordsmanship with Bai Lao, I'm very busy, so I won't chat with you for now."

"Hey, yes, yes, it is not suitable to eat too much before strenuous exercise."

Bai Lao kept nodding his head in agreement, and the smile on the old face was a bit forced.

He is very old, and his stomach can't bear such "irritating" food.

"Hey—that's it, then I won't bother you guys. I'm going to continue looking for Rimuru-sama. Keep training hard."

Ziyuan waved goodbye, turned to leave, and at the same time held the strangely painted object in her hand, still muttering in her mouth.

"Really, where did Master Rimuru go? The documents in the office haven't been processed yet. As a secretary, I can't turn a blind eye to this."

Looking at Ziyuan's back that was fading away, Gafan, who was standing there, also breathed a sigh of relief, and gently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand.

He really didn't have the courage to try the other party's cooking, but luckily Zi Yuan was easy to fool.

At this time, Gavan felt his shoulder was lightly patted again.

"Brother Jiafan, I remember that you kept your promises and kept what you said."

Bai Lao looked at the stunned opponent, and smiled lightly like an old urchin, and said, "How about it, are you interested in trying swordsmanship now?"

"...All right, but just for a while."

"Hoho, of course."

Then, time goes back to the present.

Just stood up, but was hit by the wooden sword again on the knee joint, and then uncontrollably lay back Gafan, at this moment, he only felt that it was good to be a salted fish and stare at the sky in a daze.

"Have you been lying on the ground long enough? Time to get up."

"...Bai Lao, I would like to ask, how long will I practice here?"

"Soon, it's only a morning. Whether you want to come again later depends on your own wishes."

"..."

Uh, I always feel that our concept of "for a while" is a bit different.

Sighing, Jiafan, who was covered with a lot of dust, felt that the world was not worth it, but after all, he still didn't know how many times he stood up from the ground.

At this time, according to the agreement before starting the training, his convenient "magic" can only be used to strengthen himself, and then fight with the wooden sword in his hand, so as to achieve a better training effect.

However, Jiafan now only feels that there is not much difference between whether he uses the Word Spirit to buff himself or not.

"Increased nerve reflex speed, enhanced dynamic vision, sharpened five senses, instinctive warning, and accelerated thinking speed."

"Chong-"

Gavan lying on the ground again: "..."

Ah, the sky is so blue, just like the color of slime, that's great.

At this time, there were whispers from others.

"Oh my god, when that old man Bai was training people, he actually, unexpectedly... actually let water like this?"

release water?

In just 10 minutes, Gafan, who had fallen to the ground dozens of times, just felt that he had something to say now.

He looked sideways with a dead fish-eyed look, and found that standing not far away and discussing himself with someone was Youmu who had met yesterday.

The other party's current image is also very embarrassed because of the same dust on his body, but he feels energetic and energetic, but it is much better than the silent appearance yesterday.

Youmu, who noticed Gavan's gaze, waved his hand lightly as a good morning greeting.

"What are you talking about? Is the training too easy? And Youmu, continue to practice swords. You are not worthy of the 'hero' image in the story who defeated the pig-headed emperor!"

Old Bai looked over with cold eyes, and frightened the crowd instantly.

"Okay, okay, yes!"

"I'm practicing, I'm practicing!"

He snorted softly at the group of guys he taught, and Bai Lao turned his gaze back to Jiafan.

"Okay, no one is bothering you, it's time to get up and continue practicing swords."

"...Got it."

Gavan stood up from the ground feebly... Well, it's more convenient to float up.

Under Bai Lao's somewhat surprised eyes, Jiafan moved inexplicably with a little chicness and got up from the ground again, then held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and aimed at himself again.

"Hey, Bai Lao."

"What's the matter?"

"Is there any point in practicing this?" Gavan asked with some doubts.

After all, if you don't count Yanling, he is just an ordinary person. Even if you practice swords for a few days with 3 minutes of enthusiasm, it is impossible to practice anything famous.

At that time, it is estimated that the power of a sword cut is not as good as a casual sentence of hydraulic cutting.

"Everything makes sense."

Bai Lao still kept a faint smile on his old face, which was quite rare for him who was in the process of teaching swordsmanship.

Usually, when he is helping Lord Rimuru instruct swordsmanship, he will keep an encouraging smile throughout the whole process, and other people's words...

Hit it harder to show you care.

As long as you sweat more in training, you will bleed less in battle.

"Brother Jiafan, you may also encounter a time when you can't use your special ability. It is always good to have more means of self-defense and defense at that time."

Looking at the man in front of him who was speaking despondent words, but was able to get up from the ground to continue every time he was knocked down, Bai Laoxi patted his beard habitually, and said.

"Furthermore, swordsmanship is not only for training skills, but also for training one's will and 'heart'."

Bai Lao pointed to his chest, and then looked directly into Jiafan's eyes.

"Brother Jiafan, I can't feel the desire to become stronger in your heart, no, to be more precise... it should be because you have no obsession in your heart."

After waving the simple and neat sword flower casually, Bai Lao looked at those guys who were concentrating on training himself.

"Do you know? In every fighter's heart, there is more or less obsession, whether it is to protect someone, or just simply want to become stronger, or longing for a certain goal, etc. , but you don’t have it in your heart, on the contrary, you seem to be a little bit confused about the future.”

Bai Lao thought for a while, looked at Jiafan who was silent and thoughtful, and showed a plain smile that only an elderly person would have.

"This kind of thing can't be said to be a bad thing. After all, everyone has his own ambitions, and there are many people who don't like fighting. But if you have something you want to do, it's always good to be stronger."

"...Bai Lao, why are you telling me this?"

"Hey, just treat yourself as an elderly person who always loves to chatter, and I can't help but talk more to those who are about to leave for a long journey."

Looking at the surprised Jiafan, Bai Lao smiled and pointed to his eyes that have seen the vicissitudes of the world, and said softly.

"Brother Jiafan, I have lived for a long time. I have seen many people who are about to go far away to say goodbye. I can see it."

Regarding this, Gavan silently looked at the old ghost in front of him.

He could feel that the other party seemed to want to teach and guide him as a comer and elder.

That's not just about swordsmanship, but other more important things.

Are you obsessed... well, I don't understand it.

Gavan sighed helplessly, but.

"......thanks."

"Hey, let's end the chat here, Brother Jiafan, try to feel the sword in your hand, and treat it as an extension of your body."

"Uh, okay, I'll try."

"Chong-"

After three seconds.

Lying on the ground, Gavan stared at the sky in a daze again: "..."

He is thinking about life.

Chapter 71: The Coming Disaster I

"So tired—"

The sun was at noon, and Jiafan, who had fallen on the training ground all morning, was wandering around the streets like a lonely ghost with a tired face.

He didn't know if he had learned swordsmanship, but how to adjust his posture when he fell to reduce pain and injury has been thoroughly studied by him.

New knowledge has been added.

That's great, Gavan thought with a blank expression on his face.

"Oh, my shoulders are so sore. I've been swinging my sword all morning. Is this considered exercise before meals?"

The mud on the blue and white robes on his body that was stuck when he fell had already disappeared completely. Jiafan did stretching exercises and chest expansion exercises with his feet off the ground, and then looked at the strange eyes of passers-by Next, find out...

"Muscle soreness is relieved, and physical recovery speed is accelerated...well, it's better to be better like this."

After slightly moving his shoulders again, Gavan nodded affirmatively, showing a satisfied smile.

"Okay, it's time to go eat. By the way, Milim didn't tell me where they eat at noon?"

After thinking about it, Jiafan glanced at the position of the red dot representing Kobayashi on the virtual panel.

"Uh, it's probably in this direction, um, let me measure the distance first... Forced teleportation in space."

The next moment, Gavan's figure disappeared in place.

......

at the same time.

"Zi Yuan probably didn't come in this direction, did she?"

At the entrance of a certain alley, Limuru in slime state cautiously poked out part of her translucent body, and looked around.

After confirming that Shion, who was looking for him with "Takoyaki Maruko", was indeed not nearby, Rimuru also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, I'm sorry Ziyuan, I want to have a normal lunch every once in a while..."

"Limuru, what are you doing here?"

"Wow ah ah ah!"

The sudden sound made Limuru startled, and the body of the jelly-like dumpling trembled violently.

Then, he found himself being picked up directly from the ground.

"Yo, Rimuru, do you want to eat delicious food with me?"

Holding the slime in her arms, Milim smiled happily as if she had found a treasure on the side of the road.

"So it's Milim? Don't scare me."

After seeing clearly who the other party was, Limuru also said helplessly.

At first, he thought he was discovered by Ziyuan, but when he was picked up, he thought it was Jiafan.

In the end, they all guessed wrong, it seems that he is really slow enough.
