Yomigaeri no Maou

"Then come in."

That's what Lulu said and opened the door and invited him inside the house.

Of course, it is a two-story rental where Lulu's home, Yumis, is the landlord.

Though it is in the Wang capital, it is quite on the edge, and there are few houses built around it, and it is a strange location to be stuck on the open land.

Ask Lulu,

"... oh, so is this house... but the land around seems to belong to Yumis too. He said he's letting you play because he doesn't want to do anything landlord. I don't feel like taxes or fooling around if you let it go, but they're doing great around there."

Ortes opened his eyes to the word and looked again at the land around him.

Pretty wide.

The distance from the house where Lulu lives to his neighbor is a few hundred meters, even if not so much as the arena.

Even the earnings of the extraordinary adventurers seem horrible to imagine that such a fine land can be secured within the King's City by the edge.

"If you become advanced, I wonder if you can make about half the extra money..."

It is an Ortez whose life has so far been completely stained with poverty, but it is not that he has no appetite.

Now that I'm likely to get a life of relaxation with my family, they want a lot of things, and they seem hungry for what precedes them.

Lulu answered the word if he laughed.

"Then you raise your arms... well, I'm not the junior adventurer."

Ortes thinks a little about such a Lulu dialogue, then flaunts his shoulders and responds.

"... so you were still a beginner... a fraud"

"The only track record is winning a contest. I barely work for the Adventurers Union (Alliance). I just did a few small requests, not yet."

The ranking of the Adventurers' Union (Alliance) is basically judged by the number and quality of requests.

If you haven't done a lot of asking, no matter how strong you are, you won't increase your rank per se.

It's natural in a way.

So,

"Well... then isn't that strange? Then it's time to interrupt..."

That's what Ortes said, leaving the shopping bag up and going inside the house.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The interior of Lulu's house is small and beautiful, well cleaned up, well maintained and likeable.

By the way, it seemed like a common house with objects of no use placed, or something that looked like magic implements without creation, but basically remained unchanged.

"Oh, put your stuff around there. I'll pack it in my bag later, so it's appropriate and good."

Ortez was told to unload his bags where he was instructed.

Lulu did the same, and then,

"Well, from now on, it's Ortes' choice of weapons. Over here..."

That's what I say and lead the way in the house.

Once he climbed upstairs, Ortes followed it up the stairs.

Shit, I guess that room that sounded open is Lulu's room.

But it doesn't seem like it's called a bedroom.

That said, the room did not have any bedding necessary to sleep, it was cramped and shelved, and a number of materials and workmanlike items were laid down.

There is a large table in the middle and a small mixing table at the end, which presents a look like some kind of workshop.

"... when I was shown here, it would be convincing to be told that Lulu was a magician... As a fighter competitor, I had a stronger impression of being a warrior or a magician, so I wasn't sure where..."

That's what Ortes said and nodded.

Lulu to such Ortes,

"Well, magicians are usually older, because it's normal for a guy like me to be an apprentice. But I guarantee you the technology. I'm going to make you something that Ortez would love..."

That's what I said and strained my chest.

Not that I've actually had a magic fixture made, but it's memorable that Yuri, my former opponent, had it.

I could also see that the performance was good to the extent that I didn't see it inside when I went to a martial arts store selling common magic equipment.

To the extent that I can be sure that I can leave enough to whoever made that one.

So Ortes is not worried about Lulu's arm.

The only problem is the price, but he also told me that I would be consulted, and even told me that at one point I could pay in instalments.

As one thing, it doesn't seem like Ortez has any loss.

Unless what Lulu said, the terms, was so terrible.

"You can count on me to say that. But... what are the conditions after all? I don't think there's much I can do to help you."

In fact, neither the arm of the sword nor the arm of sorcery is far to Lulu, Ortes.

The only thing I can think of that I can fight is numpa and the technology of price cutting on the market, but I don't think a 14-year-old martial arts tournament winner can help with that stuff.

That's why it was a question, and Lulu nodded at it and talked about it as he wandered around the room.

"Oh... that's it, what? It's not that hard to talk about. I want Ortez to be my magic experiment bench."

The story jumped into Ortez's ear, sounding rather noisy.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

……

After shopping, Iris leaned his neck toward the sight he had seen on his way to his home with Kyou and Krall.

I noticed that, Kyou asks Ilis.

"Is there something -?

Iris shook his head slowly at the words,

"No... it seems that your brother-in-law and Mr. Ortes are doing something in the garden of the house, so I was wondering what happened..."

"Is my brother here?

Ortez's name came up and Crail said so as it caught my interest too.

Iris nodded,

"Yeah. Well, shall we head home anyway? It doesn't look good from here."

That's what I said, but the truth is, it was clearly visible to Illis.

I'm repeating the task of Lulu offering something magical and Ortes using it.

In fact, if we approached it, the sight was playing out there as Iris observed and speculated.

Lulu and Ortes noticed the Iris,

"Oh, are you home? How was your shopping?

and Lulu asked,

"...... lulu. Something about this makes my arm numb."

and Ortes complains of a physical disorder with a cramped look.

"Ah... was the pattern part bad? Maybe the part that generates a little electric shock was too powerful...... I'll mess with it a little bit so lend it to me"

That's what I say. I get the one-handed sword he's holding from Ortes.

Lulu breaks down the pattern of the sword with Kachacha and considers the engraved and assembled parts that are intricately carved inside.

For a moment, I flaunted the Iris, but soon realized,

"Oh, bad. Put your stuff inside. The key's open."

I said, so for now, the Iris went into the house to put their luggage away.

When the two returning earlier put what the Iris had also bought where they had left their luggage, the three concerned about the Lulu earlier leave the house again.

Then, Ilis asked on behalf of him.

"What are you both doing?

I was going to ask Lulu, but now Lulu doesn't sound obsessed with the modification of the sword.

Ortes, staring at it and clapping his shoulders, answered instead.

"They're experimenting with magic tools. It's good to try to make a lot of things that come to mind, but the principle and fine structure are the best now, so I actually want to use them and improve them."

Iris is satisfied with what Lulu is doing with it.

Lulu's magic fixtures are basically based on past magic guidance theories and techniques, and many of the structures are pulling from them, but I guess there are not many ambiguous techniques and theories because the boulder Lulu was not a technician in the past either.

And as ambiguous as that is, it is good to try to make it once and for all, but there are few things that go wrong, and I am trying to fix them.

Does it feel like Ortez is being asked to become an experiment for this, so that even modern warriors can use it?

But I don't see why Ortes took on a rather dangerous experimental subject.

Was it a favor to have Claire saved?

With that in mind, Ortes explained himself.

"I say that if Lulu hangs out with this regularly, he'll respite me from paying for the magic equipment Lulu made, so I'm hanging out with him. But I may have failed... I can't believe my arm tingled earlier, it's freezing and burning..."

I'm an Ortez who talks about that in a disappointing way, but the look on his face doesn't feel like he hates it at all.

Probably funny, even if that's all there is to it.

In fact, there are few things that Lulu makes that have similar effects in modern times, but there are also a few rarities that are only here that are somewhat exciting.

Besides, there are some very handy products, like the one Kyou received before, and many now have no big deal, or even if they have some kind of flaw, they make you feel futuristic.

It's not a bad experience to say that it involves the development of such things, and it's also possible that if you stay with them here later, you can buy them directly from Lulu.

Ortez was also an intermediate adventurer, and he would know the value of what he said being available ahead of time around, and he thought it would make sense to participate, even if it was somewhat painful or strange to his eyes.

Claire, my sister, says to Ortes like that.

"Good luck, brother! I'm here for you!

That was nothing dialogue, but apparently not for Ortes.

"Oh, I'll do my best. 'Cause I want some good weapons."

I said that gladly.

After all, she is a sister who has suffered from the disease for a long time.

He's quite drowning.

I gently stroked my head, and then again I got the weapon Lulu offered me after the retrofit.

At that time, with a frigid face,

"... no more tingling?

When asked, Lulu said,

"Oh, I'm all right now!

And he answered with his chest outstretched, and Ortes safely poured his magic into that sword.

Then a small black cloud begins to erupt over Ortes' head, and he starts to thunderbolt.

Seeing it, Ortez, who seemed anxious, shifted his body from the floating place of the black cloud, but the black cloud moved the place to chase Ortez.

Ortez, who made his face snap again at the look of it.

Ask Lulu as he leans his neck.

"... I thought you weren't going to tingle?

To such Ortes' words Lulu said majestically after putting his hands together.

"Bad. They've made some weird modifications. It doesn't matter."

"Lulu......!

That's what Ortez said and came to Lulu, but it was quick, or the black cloud blew off the thunder.

In that direction across the street, Ortes stands, and he ends up taking that direct hit without being able to react.

"... Ababa, Ababa!!

Ortez suffers from electric shock screaming like that.

When Lulu sees it, he plays his sword by magic from Ortes' hand.

Then the black clouds gradually lost color and melted in the air.

Then Lulu picks up the sword,

"... I wonder what went wrong... Oh well, it wasn't a good idea to connect that part..."

and say bumps, breaking up the sword again.

To the fallen Ortes, when he passed by, he was doing healing magic, so he would be resurrected as soon as he woke up from his fainting.

The treatment of Ortes was too terrible.

I was watching Kyou like that.

"... Mr. Lulu can be a pretty terrible person?

and asked, so that Iris,

"It's been a long time since I've been obsessed with something and I can't see the situation around me..."

Answer.

Krall is calling Ortez's name next to Ortez.

"Brother! Brother! Wake up!

It's a carelessly crumbling dialogue with my brother.

"Mr. Lulu says he's going to experiment next! We need to get up fast!!

It wasn't.

"Mr. Krall treats your brother for what he did, it's tough..."

Kyou is so grumbling and pointing his subtle gaze at Ortes and Krall.

"I'm sure you trust me about your brother. He said he wasn't the one who would fall to this extent..."

"That's tough in another way... Mr. Ortes, you're carrying a disaster..."

That's what I said with a distant eye, Kyou.

Illis looks up at the sky as well.

The orange sky, where the sun was about to set today, was beautiful and marked the end of the day.
