"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few days, you actually adopted a daughter."

"Daughter? Well, you can say that. Anyway, Tanya is indeed an important family member of mine now. I hope you can get along well with each other."

Rubbing Tanya's fluffy and soft blonde hair.

Lu Ren smiled gently.

At the same time, he also felt inexplicably intimidated by the blue vertical pupils of the Demon King beside him, which seemed to be staring at him silently and emitting a strange glow.

So, I kept smiling and stretched out my other hand to pat her on the head.

This successfully made Milim show a comfortable expression =V=, and finally loosened her clenched pink little fist.

"No problem, since you said so..."

Looking at the man in front of me who is touching the heads of two lolis at the same time.

Rimuru blinked his eyes, and for some reason, he puffed up his lips cutely subconsciously, as if he was upset.

Then, as if she felt that she was being too childish, she quickly rubbed her soft cheeks with her little hands and casually brought up a topic.

“Oh, by the way, Lu Ren, actually Milim and I were just doing combat training, and it’s over for now. But this is a rare opportunity, do you want to spar with me?”

Rimuru raised his head and said this.

He immediately showed great interest in the topic he raised.

After all, she had never seen the man in front of her fight, so she was inevitably curious about him and wanted to know how strong he was.

However, Lu Ren hesitated about this.

"Well, this..."

He closed his eyes, revealing a somewhat distressed and conflicted expression.

To be honest, he didn't want to reject the girl's proposal, but deep down, he seemed to not want to fight with her, even if it was just a competition.

So, after thinking for a while.

Lu Ren finally chose to shake his head to express his refusal.

"Forget it, Rimuru. You know I don't like fighting."

"It's not a fight, it's called sparring or training!"

Rimuru, who was rejected, puffed up his face like a hamster, looking cute as if he needed someone to coax him.

But just then.

The little blonde girl, who was originally enjoying the head pat, suddenly took a step forward.

"Then why don't I give it a try."

Looking at Rimuru who was slightly stunned.

Tanya adjusted the military cap on her head and smiled politely with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

“I am an aviation mage and a former second lieutenant of the Empire. I should be able to serve as a sparring partner for Rimuru-sama, right?”

“Well, that’s fine, but forget about calling me sir. Just call me Rimuru.”

“Yes, Rimuru.”

Looking at the beautiful smile of the blonde girl that is both cute and handsome.

Do not know why.

Rimuru suddenly got goosebumps for no apparent reason, as if he was being stared at by some very dangerous guy...

This child doesn't seem to be simple.

Although he is ten centimeters shorter than her and looks as young as less than ten years old, he can still give people an inexplicable sense of intimidation.

And, most importantly, there is a faint smell of blood on his body.

It's impossible to ignore.

"...Tanya-chan, I'll give this to you. After all, I can't let a little kid like you fight me empty-handed."

Looking at the little blonde girl who was wearing a military uniform but was unarmed.

After thinking about it, Rimuru decided to use the "magic steel" stored in his "stomach" to instantly make a command knife for officers and threw it to the other party.

Although this can only be considered a mass-produced product, the quality is copied from the craftsmanship of the dwarf blacksmith Kaijin.

Therefore, it can be considered a rare product that even an ordinary human blacksmith would never be able to forge in his lifetime.

Tanya subconsciously took the magic steel command knife, and her eyes lit up the moment she got it in her hand.

Because she felt that the magic power flow efficiency of this cold weapon was extremely high, enough to replace the magic rifle and staff and serve as the medium for her to release spells.

It’s worth a lot of money.

So, Tanya, who had originally planned to refuse, coughed lightly and finally chose to accept the other party's gift.

After all, she didn’t know if she could buy a good thing of this level with her one year’s salary when she was in the empire.

However, even if she is lenient, you can't expect her to let you win in any way in the next competition.

after all......

She was ready to give it her all.

There will be no leniency.

Tanya, who had changed back into her military uniform before leaving the house, looked at Rimuru, who was standing at a distance, ready for the competition. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth with a hint of uncontrollable madness.

A dangerous atmosphere that could not be ignored began to spread.

The atmosphere in the air is solidifying.

Obviously, unlike the soft and cute little girl image she usually shows in front of others, Tanya at this moment——

Sharp and sharp.

In fact, he is just like the Rhine demon in the original novel, extremely dangerous.

"Please enlighten me."

Tanya tilted her head and chuckled cutely.

At the same time, he held the hilt with his tiny hands, casually raised the magic steel command knife forward, aimed at the target, and then snapped it with his tiny mouth slightly opened.

"Sniper Technique".

So, the next moment——

The dazzling and terrifying energy beam instantly penetrated all the trees and vegetation in a straight line within a hundred meters ahead.

It also left a trail of dark burn marks on the lush lawn.

Its speed is so fast, just like an anti-material sniper bullet, which is faster than even the blink of an eye and can easily take a person's life.

only.

Still missed.

Rimuru, who successfully dodged in an instant, stood a few meters away from the shooting track. He glanced at the destroyed trees with some surprise and couldn't help but smacking his lips.

"...Wow, you're quite good at this."

She raised an eyebrow.

That unexpected attack just now was quite dangerous. It was so fast that she almost couldn't dodge it.

However, the attack trajectory is too monotonous. After seeing it once, it becomes much easier to dodge it. It is not a problem...

"Bang, bang, bang!"

One attack missed, and several attacks followed.

As soon as a thought of slight contempt appeared in Rimuru's mind, the extremely fast beams of light that occupied her field of vision immediately told her that this competition was not simple.

At least, after the two afterimages were blown away, she was successfully touched a little by the third sniper technique.

"Wow, that's great. You actually predicted my dodge route."

Rimuru glanced over his left shoulder in surprise.

At the same time, under the effect of magic element reorganization, her daily casual clothes quickly turned into the blue gown she usually wore in battle.

This means that she is going to get serious.

As for Tanya, who successfully hit the target, her brows were slightly frowned.

Because through the attack just now, she discovered that there seemed to be a layer of... no, it should be some kind of barrier with multiple layers stacked on top of each other, and its defensive performance was quite good.

At least, her sniping skills would not be able to break through those invisible barriers unless they hit the target head-on.

"In that case, we'll win by numbers."

Tanya muttered to herself.

The deep red gem given by Shima Yosuke and worn on the chest began to emit dangerous light driven by huge magic power.

So, next.

Dozens of extremely fast light beams, guided by the command knife, rushed towards the area ahead with great momentum, crushing all the way and forming a covering saturation bombing.

This is a turret formed by just one person!

Ordinary aviation mages simply cannot achieve this level of output.

However, no matter how dense the sniping techniques were, once Rimuru started to take it seriously, it would not be so easy for him to be hit again.

After all, with the help of her unique ability to calculate, she has been evading and sprinting along the most reasonable route.

Therefore, in the unsightly smoke and dust rising in the sky, the afterimages were blasted away by the light beam, but it never hit the real target, but was instead being rapidly closed by it.

"Very flexible, but this evasive route is too logical, it doesn't seem like it was thought out by a human."

Tanya frowned as she stood there, planning to take the initiative and then create some distance.

But at this moment, her pupils suddenly contracted and she was shocked to find that some imperceptible steel wires had been entangled around her body without her knowing when.

Moreover, this thing was not only very tough, but also sticky like spider silk, binding her tightly in place and making it impossible for her to escape in a short period of time.

"Oh no, these wires are in the way, I have to..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Just as Tanya drew her sword, the blue figure, which should have been some distance away from her, had successfully broken through the bombing area and appeared in front of her in an instant.

That was Rimuru seizing the opportunity and using [Space Movement] to close the last distance between the two sides.

Moreover, he clenched his right fist, which instantly attached a layer of exoskeleton-like armored arm armor, and punched out without hesitation.

"Bang!!!"

this moment.

Despite its petite body, it bursts out with terrifying brute force that is at the disaster level.

Even the gust of air created by the small fist was enough to instantly sweep away the smoke and dust in the surrounding air.

However, the little blonde girl successfully took the blow.

Even Rimuru was surprised.

Because she saw clearly that in the last lightning-fast moment, the opponent first used a layer of magic barrier to offset most of the force of her fist, then used the scabbard to block the attack, and relied on the active backward leap to relieve the force, and even took the opportunity to successfully counterattack her with the sword.

As for the steel wire wrapped around his body, it was also cut off by the sharp energy blade emitted by the magic power.

The speed of their response is truly astonishing.

"Well, impressive. He has a lot of combat experience and is also quite good at close combat... Oh, no way, this kid can actually fly?!"

Looking at the little blonde girl who had successfully created distance, she actually flew high into the sky in the first possible moment.

Rimuru couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.

After all, even she can only fly by mimicking a pair of bat wings.

But this kid managed to fly in the air as if it was a matter of course, and he looked quite skilled at it, obviously having considerable combat experience in the field of air combat...

It has to be said that this was the first time she had seen a young girl who was so strong.

He is much more capable than adults.
