Yomigaeri no Maou

"... what the hell kind of promise is Dad making..."

I overheard Rusty talking to the knight. Lulu accidentally said so and held his head.

Iris smiles at Lulu like that and says:

"Didn't I say something about suffering? Your father-in-law, he's usually a serene person, so oh, wasn't it hard to say no when he was stuffed by the enthusiastic one I said?

Rusty's opponent's knight, heavily armed but not wearing an iron mask, had a good look on his face.

For the sake of strict language, I'm not that old.

He is a young knight of about twenty or more, and there is still an atmosphere to come.

So I guess, those eyes do have heat, the atmosphere is full of temper, and it seems like someone who has the opposite nature to Patrick.

If Patrick gets stuffed from him like that......

Imagine that, Lulu sighed and nodded.

"Sure, Dad wouldn't have been able to say no..."

I just don't know if I couldn't take the time or if it was just a hassle, but I guess I tried to escape somehow.

The resulting excuse is that the dialogue will be fought if it triumphs over the disciple.

However, if you've come so far after grasping the fact that you're going to compete in a martial arts tournament relying on so many words, there's something incredible about that obsession.

I might have simply said that Patrick might be in the fight.

I wonder if I have to fight that too, and I don't feel somewhat repellent, Lulu.

Look at such a lull, says Illis.

"If Rusty wins, you don't have to worry about that."

To the words of Illis, I thought so, Lulu felt Rusty's motivation for support erupt and decided to move on to execution.

In front of the arena, we approach Kyou, who has been supporting the contestants with Fuuka all along the way, and slap him on the shoulder to join it.

"Ah, Mr. Lulu! Would you like to do it with me?!?

Kyou, looking back and saying so, handed Lulu the craft of her country, which he had in both hands, the fan, called.

She says that it is a tradition in her country to use fans to support when backing up where she said this.

Indeed, from earlier on, Lulu had witnessed her skillfully using it to provide beautiful support.

As the Demon King, his support is firmly burned behind Lulu's brain and he can do it as soon as he wants to imitate it.

"Come on! I'll be there for you - ugh! Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ra-su, no!

To match that voice of Kyou, Lulu waves a fan.

It was a surreal sight.

Illis smiles as he sits in the audience looking at it.

By the way, Fuuka, I don't know what it is, but she supports the fans floating around her as well as the Kyou.

Obviously a magical phenomenon, but for some reason no audience cared about it.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Rusty and the knight, the two facing each other, were asking for a crevice between them, but it was Rusty who cut the numbness first.

If it was Patrick, in such a case, he might have stood until his opponent got his hands on him.

Because he's good at that kind of gutsy, necessary defensive battle.

But for Rusty, who learned not only from him, but also from Gran, who is somewhat of a belligerent character, and Lulu, who specializes in aggressive combat, waiting for his opponent didn't mean that much.

Rather, he attacks everywhere, attacking and attacking, about as much, is easier for Rusty to fight, and he has the strength to make it possible.

Rusty stepped out toward the knight after understanding the matter very well.

I was even forced to train myself to shed magic on my body, even unconsciously.

Rusty is also activating physical enhancement magic to go with it.

Normally, Rusty can only activate one because of the amount of magic and concentration. I can do it.

It was thanks to the days of rigorous training carried out in the village and to the three masters who assembled just that without putting in a single senseless training.

Still, his body and skill are far from complete, Rusty, but nevertheless the skill was causing his strength to jump through one or two heads over his age, and that was beyond the expectations of his opponent, the knight.

A knight with a stunned look at Rusty's dreaded speed as he jumps.

But that was a moment, too.

"... interesting!

do it, and intercept Rusty with a sword he put up with a laugh.

That's how Rusty unleashed the most basic of the kingdom's orthodox swordsmanship, the upper-level cut everyone learns in the earliest days - a basic move that is commonly referred to as a "one (one) machete”.

Naturally, knights who would also be studying the Kingdom Orthodox Swordsmanship knew about the moves.

On the contrary, he can use it too.

But the fact never greatly favoured him.

He didn't think it was okay to call it a "single knife” when it was approaching at a speed far from the typical "one knife” speed.

He immediately understood that if he didn't think it was the same move but something else, he wouldn't be able to avoid it or take it.

And the knight stomps to take the move.

The impending sword of Rusty was slapped by the knight's sword with a terrible weight from the knight's point of view.

Heavy.

Heavy everywhere.

It brought a mighty shock to the knight as if he had been hammered.

But still not enough to make the knight let go of his sword.

"... nooo... not yet, not yet!!

That said, the knight played Rusty's sword.

"Kuh......!

and Rusty, who was flown, raised his voice of surprise, but what the knight did was not within his assumptions.

It would be pretty strong, no doubt what I felt before the game, and because I knew that if it was, there was no way I could get hit with a single blow.

That's why Rusty moves right after he's been played the sword and turns to the side of the knight to strike a second blow in.

But also the knight. I guess that was in anticipation again.

He plays lightly with his own sword the blow that Rusty has unleashed against my belly, on which he waves down his sword aimed at Rusty's brain.

That speed is not so fast.

It was an attack that could be avoided sparingly enough, and Rusty shifted his half to dodge and distance himself.

The blow the knight fired on Rusty wasn't a big deal to Rusty.

But Rusty understood at that moment that it was a mistake to judge a knight's strength with it.

Because there was room for the knight to behave then, and there was even an atmosphere as if he was enjoying observing Rusty's way out again

Not yet, I don't mean it.

Rusty smiled rather than frightened to think so.

"... well. You understand and laugh, don't you?

Rusty answers that knight's provocative voice.

"Let's see. Because I've never been so easily defended or dodged in a martial arts competition. I'm in the mood to finally meet someone strong."

The knight laughs at the words.

"Strong people, huh? I don't think you're willing to do anything about it anymore... and you don't seem to be serious yet."

After all, the current series of rewards was just a small hand-check, I guess.

But this knight discerned that so did Rusty.

"... I didn't cut it off."

"Hmm! Same thing if you say it was a small hand check. I can't tell you about people... but it's time we took each other seriously."

"Yeah, I just want it!

As such, the two bodies gain strength.

The audience doesn't know what changed from earlier.

However, some powerful people could understand the signs.

You two are seriously trying to fight, that makes sense.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"You've started working out your magic. Must be a must-have skill for a warrior... we're both inside"

That's what Kyou said as he waved his fan.

Lulu nodded,

"The higher the density of magic flowing into the body, the better. For that matter, it consumes a lot, and it takes concentration and skill, but not many guys will have enough skill to refine and enhance their magic to that extent. You're barely as good as intermediate."

"In addition to that, Mr. Rusty says he uses physical enhancement magic in combination. You can do such clever things a lot ~"

Anyway, Kyou looked at Rusty with a respectful eye.

Lulu says.

"The three of us knocked it in. As for physical enhancement magic, my father and Gran are the ones who give magic to the body. Except Rusty, who is said to be weak because she won't be able to concentrate on either of them even if they are both used together. I'm looking forward to keeping both of them together."

Except for physical enhancement magic and technique of flowing magic into the body.

Both combine to strengthen the body magic, sometimes, but it is often said that the former is a magician's technique that requires chanting, while the latter is a swordsman's technique that requires no chanting.

It is also said that the former can also be called upon by others, but the latter is intended solely for one's own body.

It does not differ in essence, and when summed up, it will only become a matter of output later, but if it is not, it is better to demonstrate a higher physical ability when overlaid.

However, it is generally not recommended because it is difficult to activate both individually due to concentration or technical problems, and it is normal to wear one or the other to suit your style.

It was Rusty who rebelled against this legendary notion, and it was Lulu, Gran and Patrick who taught him so.

Interesting, because, for each reason, the three of them realized the possibility of combining physical enhancement magic with magic flowing into the body, and they thought it best to do it in a less knowledgeable state.

And the three of them had demonstrated it with their own bodies, and they knew for sure that it was possible.

So let's tap Rusty into this, and let him wear it while discussing the measures to do so.

Mi and Yuri are also able to use both slightly, but Rusty is the only one wearing them in balance.

And that's why, in melee combat, Rusty is considered the strongest of Rusty, Mi, and Yuri.

"... so you win. Rusty."

That's what Lulu muttered as he stared at his heterogeneous and recklessly trained apprentice.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

No!!

How many times now have swords and swords bumped into each other and made such noises?

Rusty and the knight thought the same thing over and over again.

In skill, the knight wins.

But at speed, Rusty was winning.

And that's prolonging the settlement between the two of us.

Overall, their battle, which seems almost mutually reinforcing, has excited the audience for a long time, but it does not open.

I never wanted to lose, and each of them decided to take a bet.

The knight still had a rough spot on Rusty's skill and was even looking for a gap to penetrate.

And now I've found it.

The moment he waves his sword down, Rusty comes swinging it off with all his might without any hesitation.

And when they played it, the knight understood that a moment's gap could be made.

That's a slight gap that you won't notice until you put your swords together again and again.

But it was a huge gap for a knight who fought for a long time.

So the knight heads for that gap, jumps in.

Rusty waves his sword big.

"Uri ah!!!

A knight who feels and does take that sword line with his whole body.

"... Phew!!!

And as you aim, Rusty's sword is played.

At that moment, he looked like a knight.

The path to victory is where the gap lies.

So if the knight never misses that moment, he unleashes a slaughter all over him towards it.

- I won.

The knight, yes, I thought.

All I'm staring at is that big gap.

So he didn't notice.

That Rusty's mouth is smiling slightly.

In a few centimeters your own sword will reach Rusty.

The moment I thought so, the knight's consciousness was pruned in an instant.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... on purpose. That wasn't bad."

Lulu shrugged when he saw it in the arena, staring back at the fallen knight.

At that moment when the knight's sword was supposedly cut into Rusty's belly, Rusty's sword ran like a disease and blew the knight's body away.

That would have been limiting sword speed for Rusty.

And that was so fast.

To the extent that the knight's sword could not be packed a few more centimeters.

Rusty's technique of physical enhancement magic and internal magic circulation allowed him to lift his physical abilities to their limits.

Lulu, who saw it, was surprised that he did work out so that he could do it, but didn't think he could do it so brilliantly.

Against the knight, he deliberately creates a slight gap and identifies the moment when the knight releases his moves with all the spirit in order to poke through that gap, releasing a blow of his own body.

That's easy to say by mouth, but hard to do in real life.

Delighted with the unexpected growth of Rusty, Lulu decides to send his first cheer for the winner.

"Well done!!!

Cut to pieces, the audience cheers are sent to Rusty.

Really, I grew up to be a good warrior.

With satisfaction, Lulu decided to head to the lobby to welcome the winner.
