Zudooーn!

“Oraa! What’s wrong!? That’s all you’ve got!?”

Shit! He’s seriously too hard, isn’t he! It could even damage Gilgas, who’s clad in Level 9 Magic!

“How about this then! Lightning Fang!”

I aimed at Levine-san and thrust at lightning speed.
Perhaps he thought that this would actually be bad, Levine-san Dragonifies both hands.
It’s a strategy that he started showing recently.
Can I do it?

“Seii!”

I lunge Rolgar, no questions asked, but ‘Gakiin!’, it gets repelled.
Shit! I can’t wound him at all after he does that Dragonification.

“Ora, you’re full of openings!”

Levine-san doesn’t overlook the opening in which I went in thought and got distracted for an instant.
By the time I realised, his right arm had already aimed and swung at my abdomen.
This is bad.
Was what I thought, but it’s too late.

Levine-san’s right hand enters my abdomen like it’s being sucked in, and makes splintering, unpleasant sounds.
Gufuu! This, metallic taste that regurgitates from my stomach is really disgusting.
I, who by the time I realised, was blown away while thinking that.

I crash into numerous trees, but my body doesn’t stop despite breaking all of them.
And then

“Oraa!”

Levine-san, who’s still punching at me.
As one would expect, I can’t be eating it, so I stab Rolgar into the ground and kill the momentum.
My abdomen hurts severely, but first of all, it’s the oncoming idiot parent,

“Peh! Lightning Emperor’s Arsenal(Grom Arms)!”

I activate my move as I’m spitting the blood that accumulates in my mouth and, bolts of lightning surge around, and those bolts of lightning change their shapes into weapons.
Levine-san charges over as he’s making a sceptical expression.

“Strafe!”

I then aim and release the weapons around at Levine-san.
Perhaps he’s actually surprised by this, Levine-san makes a surprised expression.

“Tch! You rascal! You were hiding a move like this huh!”

He curses in front of me, but he mows down the oncoming weapons with both hands one after another.
Oncoming swords, spears, axes; all kinds of weapons rain down on Levine-san, but Levine-san is undaunted.

I was able to foresee this as well, so without panicking, I materialise swords in both my hands.
I then approach Levine-san.
I slash at Levine-san with the sword in my left hand.
Levine-san receives it with his right hand and tries to punch me with his left hand, but I release my weapon there.

Levine-san, because he dislikes being struck, he tries to take some distance from me.
However, over there, I close in on him, and this time around, I mow down horizontally with the sword in my right hand.
He dodges by crouching this time, and Levine-san’s fist approaches, swinging upwards from below.

I backflip, dodging Levine-san’s fist, and drop my weapon at where I was before I get punched.
It makes the sound, ‘Zudodododoon!’, and stirs up a dust cloud.
Now then, I wonder how it turned out.

“Ain’t too shabby huh.
Here on out, I’ll take you on with Half-Dragonification!”

What emerged from the dust cloud, was Levine-san, with horns, and with feathers growing on his arms, legs, and back.
His appearance only slightly changed, but the sense of intimidation he gives out is entirely different.

“Let’s go, oraa!”

Levine-san, who says and plunges at me.
I also ready up my weapon again.
I wonder to what extent will it work? I’ve slightly come to look forward to it.

 

◇◇◇

 

In the end, I was utterly defeated.
I collapse on the ground face up, catching my breath.
Levine-san is bloody standing with a carefree expression.

“You’ve still got some way to go.
If your attacks won’t go through at all when I simply Half-Dragonified, your attacks ain’t gonna go through against those fellows either”

Yeah, I fired the weapons at the Half-Dragonified Levine-san just now, but they were all repelled by his arms and legs.
I wasn’t even able to scrape those tough scales no matter how much I try attacking.
And then, I was beaten to a pulp.

“It’s because your magic power was out-pushed by the magic power I’m cladding my body in, that your blade ain’t going through my scales.
Fortify and sharpen your magic power, the blade you create, more.
It’ll probably turn out somewhat decent if you do it with an image like that in your head”

Levine-san, who advises me in such a manner.
It’s been five days today since we subjugated the bandits, and Alexia and Helen went to request the Baron.
In the meantime, Levine-san ended up training us.

Initially, he said, ‘I won’t approve Eclat’s matter!’, and punched at me with killing intent but……although he still does now, he recently started pointing out the parts where I’m lacking.
According to Hilde-san, she says, ‘It’s probably enjoyable’.
After training in such a manner,

“Kyururun!”

Eclat carries a basket with both hands and flies over every time.

“Oh! Eclat-chan! Were you worried about your beloved Papa and camee~?”

Levine-san spreads out his arms, prepares to welcome Eclat, and says that every time Eclat comes, but Eclat gives Levine-san the cold shoulder and passes right by him.

And when she flies to my side, she lands beside me,

“Kyuru!”

and hands the basket over to me.
Inside, there’s a towel to wipe the sweat and a water bottle filled with water.
Furthermore, there’s only one.

“Th, thanks, Eclat”

I thank Eclat as my face stiffens.
Eclat responds happily to the fact that she’s thanked and gets on top me, who’s sitting cross-legged.
She then looks at me with her round and cute eyes from below.
As though she’s going, ‘stroke me?’.
It’s become my daily routine to stroke such Eclat, and relax.

Levine-san is frozen with his arms spread out over there though.

“Eclat, is it alright? Levine-san is frozen though”

I ask Eclat that.
Eclat takes just a slight look in Levine-san’s direction, but she sullenly averts her face.
And then she carries on rubbing her head on my hand.
Er, is it alright?

“Fufufu.
Eclat is ignoring Levine, who beats Lei-kun to a pulp every time”

The one who came while laughing was, Hilde-san, who’s Eclat’s mother, and who teaches me Light Magic.
However, Hilde-san is saying it while laughing as well, but somehow, isn’t the treatment towards Levine-san awful?

“Isn’t that, how do I say this, pitiful? I’m doing it, fully aware of the consequences, and I’m grateful to Levine-san”

“Fufu, Eclat understands as well.
That he’s doing it for Lei-kun’s sake.
It’s just that, even if she understands in her head, she can’t forgive it emotionally.
That her beloved is getting hurt”

Hilde-san, who says and smiles.
I look in Eclat’s direction.

“Eclat.
I’m happy that you’re caring for me, but it’s no good to ignore Levine-san.
Since Levine-san is doing it for my sake”

I said while stroking Eclat’s head and, Eclat

“……Kyui”

, hesitantly replied.
I can take this as her acknowledgement, right? I look in Hilde-san’s direction and, she nods at me while smiling.
With this, the harsh treatment towards Levine-san will also slightly alleviate……

“Lei.
I’m gonna send you flying the next time!”

Levine-san, who says and runs off.
……I have a feeling that it’s fine like this as well.
Hilde-san looks at such Levine-san and gives a bitter smile, but she chases after Levine-san.
It’ll probably be fine if we leave it to that person.

I carry on stroking Eclat and resting afterwards as well and,

“Lei.
You were here huh”

, Ferris comes.
And then, she sees Eclat, who’s on top of my crossed legs, and puffs up her cheeks.
What’s wrong?

“You’ve stopped stroking my head and tail recently”

She says something like that immediately after.
Is that so? Now that she mentioned it, it does feel that way.
I did something terrible huh.
Since Ferris had said that she likes it when I comb her hair and tail.

Eclat suddenly takes flight, perhaps having sensed the mood.
And then she starts to bite and pull Ferris’ sleeve.
Ferris goes, ‘Eh? Wha, what?’, with a surprised look.
And when Eclat pulls Ferris until Ferris is before my eyes, this time around, Eclat starts turning in the sky while pointing at Ferris with her short right leg.
Is she telling her to rotate?

Ferris starts turning, perhaps having guessed the meaning as well, and when she faces her back to me, Eclat chirrups, ‘Kyuru!’.
Ferris, who was startled by that, halts and looks behind as it is.

Eclat, without paying it any mind, swiftly moves in front of Ferris.
Ferris and Eclat then stare at each other for a couple of seconds.

“Kyuu!”

“Oww!”

Eclat charged at Ferris’ head! Ferris then moves backwards as it is.
And the one who’s behind is, of course, me, and Ferris trips on my legs and falls backwards.

Her butt with a cute tail attached to it falls towards my abdomen.
I endured it somehow but it’s slightly painful.
Ferris then ended up in a situation where she sits on top of my crossed legs.
If it’s come this far, I’m going to understand what Eclat did to Ferris.
She yielded her special seat to Ferris.

Eclat carries on to fly over and gets on my head.
She throws her four legs out and goes limp as it is.
Ferris also thanks Eclat while blushing.
And then she shakes her tail in front of my face.
Hey, it’s ticklish.

I just comb it with my hand because I don’t have a comb now, but Ferris is smiling happily.
Eclat appears to have slept on top of my head.
From time to time, her tail softly slaps the back of my head but I guess she’s half-asleep.

About 10 minutes in that manner, Ferris suddenly turns towards my direction.
What?

“I had forgotten! I, actually came to call Lei!”

Ferris, who says in a panic.
What’s wrong?

“Came to call me?”

“Eeh! Alexia came back!”

Wai! Say that beforehand! Ferris stands up, and I also stand up vigorously.
Eclat, who was sleeping, was surprised by that and softly slapped my head in protest.
My bad.

We carry on to run until the village, and when we finally arrive, there are about ten carriages being lined up at the village’s entrance, and Alexia and Helen are standing near the entrance.
It’s just that their atmosphere is a little bit odd.
How do I say this, it’s like they’re angry or something.
Did something happen?
