Yomigaeri no Maou

"That's why we've established that panacea is available. And then one of us, me and Illis, will win the fight."

After finishing the conversation with Estelle and leaving the Games secretariat, Lulu and Illis suggested that with their feet they head to the Najoire family, or the houses of Ortes and Claire, for a meal together.

The place is Chiffon's chopped "Explorer of the Age (Elam Kupidr)" tavern.

I thought about the Najoire family's luxury for the meal, but when I bothered to call them and tell them why I had dinner with them, Ortez would pay me no financial worries.

I don't mean to thank you for this, but it's a good day, so let me take care of it.

Ortes rarely distorted his neat face and wept, thanking Lulu and Illis as he hugged his sister Claire and mother Onet.

"Thank you so much... it's not a joke or anything, my sister was saved thanks to you guys... I don't know what to say but I can't thank you enough more than once... thanks"

To thank Ortes for letting go like that, Lulu looked indescribably embarrassed.

"I wouldn't say that much because I'd rather feel a lot of things until I said I don't have to... Well, that's good. Now don't let the Najoire family's economic situation change."

And I said jokingly.

The person who most responded to the word was Krall, who says with his shiny blonde hair shaken to pieces.

"Yes, you're right! How much you have strained your family for my disease so far...... that makes me most happy and happy to think about it. Now if it's worth the price in the market, your savings will keep accumulating......!

"... you're not willing to stop the price cut"

Boosh, and Ilis groaned so, Krall said.

"It's obvious! It's like there's no price for the goods on the market! Make it as easy as you can with more and more price! This is one of the basics of smart shopping!

Lulu laughs bitterly because the sickness should not have healed yet, but the sword curtain has the momentum to make him want to ask if he is really sick.

Since Onet, Claire's mother, has a similar look, I guess this look of Claire is a daily tea affair.

Ortes is also smiling with a look close to Lulu and Onet, understandably saying that he must be a close family member.

Both Lulu and Illis were smiling at the appearance of those three.

Maybe that's because you two are seeing something there that you once lost.

Lulu will never see his companions again, his parents.

So the sight of the Najoire family felt somewhat flattering to them and inspired by the deep and soft parts of their hearts.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Then while eating thoughtfully at the liquor store for a while, Ortes approached Illis and asked him a question.

Lulu is talking to Chiffon at the counter and is out of his seat.

"Iris. I heard it's a game between you and Lulu tomorrow... do you have a chance?

Ortes was still in the request today, so I guess I heard that information after I finished the request and came back to the city.

Right now, Wang Du is exclusively wrapped up in the subject of fighting competitions, and just a short walk through the city is enough to know the state of the game that day.

Besides, the only most important game that will take place tomorrow is the final.

It would be weirder to be in this city and not be deaf.

To Ortez's question, Iris looks a little at Lulu, who is far away, and then speaks out.

The appearance seemed to tell the story of a lover who was far away, and also of a good enemy who risked his life, and it looked well to Ortez, a powerful swordsman, that the indescribable fighting spirit was rising from the body of England.

"... To be honest, I'm not so sure. Your brother-in-law is, to my knowledge, the strongest warrior. I've never seen a decent fight and lose..."

When Illis said that, heh, I felt like I had some kind of sinking look on my face for a second, but Ortes didn't know why.

But that's natural, too.

At that time, Illis remembered the defeat of the Demon King, which he could not see.

Illis continues.

"But I also know that you are never invincible. I was once taught, painfully, that there is no way to win… So this fight, I am not going to lose. Deal with them with all your might, and, win. Believe it or not, it's a challenge."

Ortes opens his eyes in surprise at the words of such Illis.

Because from his senses, it seemed to me that Illis was a more serene, calm, and absolutely obedient girl to Lulu.

No, the feeling itself wouldn't be wrong.

It's just that I was surprised to find myself in the mood to fight and, in that way, make an absolute worship opponent, and undoubtedly try to be serious.

Normally, it's hard to sift a weapon seriously to someone you trust that much.

If Ortez and I were told to wave a weapon at Krall, he would probably not be able to do so.

That's nothing strange, it's a natural emotion because you don't want to lose it.

But Iris is trying to be sincere, even though he doesn't want to lose Lulu.

There Ortes lost his word for a moment, feeling that he felt the profound thoughts of Illis about Lulu.

Perhaps this girl really trusts Lulu.

I guess that's what you think you can't possibly take down to the point where you mean it.

And I guess that's why I have the same admiration as a warrior that I really want to challenge.

How can I be such a proud warrior in so many years, Ortes wondered once again about the existence of Illis, but given that Lulu is even stranger.

Ortez has hardly seen where he is fighting decently, but if you listen to him coming into your ear just walking around the city, you'll quickly see that it's strong, then it doesn't fit in, and it's as powerful as it can be called irrational.

He has the power to defeat the top magicians in the King's capital with witchcraft, and to completely seal off those who are capable of fingerfolding, whether they are challenged by swordsmanship or superior.

If you ask about the year, it's only to the extent that it's still over fourteen, and yet, what the hell is it like to be wearing such an irrational strength?

I have no idea.

As an adventurer, he has come across a variety of strange phenomena, but Ortes thinks that if asked what the strangest and most difficult event of them is, it would mean being Lulu.

So much so that Lulu was a strange being.

But even if you ask yourself the reason for that strength, you're either vaguely smiling or you're well off the record, and you're unlikely to hear it properly.

That is why it is terrifying to pry in a strange way, and above all a benefactor to the Najoire family.

The reality is that I haven't heard any more and have given up that I probably shouldn't pry.

Sometimes I'm tempered to wait even though you'll talk to me one day.

Still, Iris says there's a chance he can beat Lulu like that.

He wants to know in what way the hell he's trying to win, Ortes asks.

"... specifically, can I ask you how you're going to beat Lulu?

That's the way I heard it because in some cases there would be maneuvers that would be invalidated just because I told someone.

You don't have to answer me. That was a question I didn't think I had a choice, but Illis answers me.

"I have a lot to think about… First of all, your brother-in-law (who is here) thinks that you have a better chance than me, because you do not have the strength, so there is a chance around it."

Ortes tilts his neck at the word.

Illis is luxurious to see, not very but doesn't look powerful.

Strengthened by physical enhancement magic and the like, it may be able to crush about a rock, but isn't it still difficult to challenge Lulu, who seems to have a huge amount of magic power to fight and win against Shui and Uvezd opponents?

Physical strengthening is essentially enhanced by calculating the muscle strength of the person based on the criteria.

It doesn't make so much sense for adult men to have some muscle power differences with each other, an area where magic power says things, but when it comes to men and women, the story is different.

If at the very least the amount of magic is winning, then the story is different, but here too, Illis shouldn't be in the lurch, and then it would be tough if compared to the power.

When she tells Ilis, she smiles like she's in trouble.

"Actually, I'm... stupid."

I don't know what to say, Ortes tried to laugh off that dialogue.

But Iris nodded when he realized Ortez was turning such a gaze, and then he turned around and hit the shoulder of a man wearing a giant man's full body armor sitting at another table,

"I'm sorry, can I borrow your body for just a little while?

asked.

To the words, the armored man of the giant man looked surprised and then looked at the face of Illis and made his face look a little sloppy and said:

"Ooh... I don't care...?

It was obvious to say that he probably took it in a different way, but Iris thanked me without worrying.

"Oh, thank you! Now if you'll excuse me..."

Kneeling so, grabbing the armored man's leg with one hand, he lifted it unconstructively, hiccup, and threw it in a light motion even closer to the liquor store ceiling, then caught it and showed it.

Looking at Iris and the armored man as the guests throughout the liquor store who apparently got that look in their eyes were surprised, the armored man has been caught by Iris with his eyes black-and-white and still lifted to a slightly floating position off the ground.

Speaking of Illis,

"I'm sorry. I disturbed you...... the armorer. Thank you."

That's what I said, slowly placing the armored man's foot on the ground, bowing down and even returning to the chair in front of Ortes.

Look, the armored man still hasn't figured out what happened, he's rigid.

To such an armored man, a customer began to explain around him, and at the end of the day he looked at Iris with a creepy looking eye, and began to drink so that he could move to a table a little further away and hide.

Ortes said, looking at the whole thing, in a voice that was frightened by the returning Illis.

"... I see you had your eyes full of lulu, but, Iris, you were pretty good too..."

I beat the superior humis, so naturally I couldn't be weak, I thought it was very strong, but I didn't think it was this much.

In one such incident, I said why the people in the liquor store were surprised, because I didn't feel any magic work there.

The vast majority of those who come to this store are adventurers, and all else are like living on their arms.

Naturally, I know a lot about physical enhancement magic because it's a commercial tool, and it can't be unless it's a rush to say that I can't relate to its activation.

But even with them like that, I didn't feel any physical enhancement magic activation in the present Illis.

That means she lifted that giant armored man, threw him up to the ceiling, and caught him, only with the power of vegetables, and there will probably be no one in this tavern who can do that.

Gran might be able to do it.

If you're an advanced adventurer proud of your power, it might be possible.

But it's certainly not easy either.

Yet Illis did it.

Ortes wasn't so bad at guessing that he didn't understand what it meant.

Iris laughed at Ortes like that,

"If it was an arm wrestling battle, I would definitely win for my brother-in-law (who is there). Wouldn't you have just switched to tomorrow's game method, arm wrestling......?

And that's what I said in the joke mix, so Ortes blew it out and laughed heavily from the bottom of his belly with a jock with booze in front of him.
