On the first day of February of the fire, six months passed even after the end of the Six Kings Festival and on the calendar. Incidentally, the calendar of this world passes in the order of the Moon of Fire, the Moon of Wednesday, the Moon of Thursday, the Moon of Saturday, the Moon of Wind, and after the Moon of Light it becomes the Moon of Heaven by repeating the Moon of Wind from the Moon of Fire again.

They say 'February' when it comes to the second half of the month for the sake of distinction, as the wind moon will come twice from fire in a year.

Well, that makes me want to relax as far as I'm concerned because I'm also tired of the Six Kings Festival today... somehow, people in this world are really fine.

With that in mind, I stroke Bell's head, which is on my back, and look at Lilia and the others, who are putting their energy into training.

In training are Lilia, Luna, Sieg, plus Anima, ETA and Theta. Aoi and Yang Nai did not participate in the training today to see if they were as tired of the Six Kings Festival as I am, and they both went out to the city.

I was invited, too, but I wanted to brush the bell, so I said no, and I was coming to visit the training after that.

It won't be my fault that everyone in the training somehow seems more in the mood than usual.

Then just at that time, Mr. Lilia stops the sword and wets the sweat. And he seems to have noticed me, and he walks toward this one, so he speaks.

"Good day, Lilia"

"Thank you"

"Sounds like you really like it."

"... right. The challenge to Agni at the Six Kings Festival with the first brave man… I guess it was because I had many opportunities to feel powerless."

I see...... maybe Anima is in the mood for a rematch with Mr. Epsilon, and Luna, Sieg, ETA and Theta, like Lilia, were handed and sealed by Agni at the Six Kings Festival, which may be feverish for training.

"Well, then I'll do another good job"

"Huh? Already? I haven't rested at all..."

"I have a job, so I don't devote much time to training, so I want to work hard when I can."

"Oh yeah... well, at least give me this drink..."

"No, so don't take out the drinks of the fruit of the world tree, feeling just like that water. I don't drink."

Lilia took out a drink of world-tree fruit to at least get her to recover from fatigue, saying she was going back to training after just talking a little bit, but she refused.

Lilia smiled bitterly as she was, "I'll just take your feelings," and went back to training.

Uh-huh, they all seem to be working hard, and I just want to help out with something... but I don't know about the battle.

"What's the matter with you? Do you look difficult?

"... Mr. Illness?

"Hello - I wish I was on my way home from the laundry, because it seemed like I was thinking about something."

"Oh, no... Lilia and the others are working hard to train, so I was hoping I could help."

I tell Mr. Ilnes, who accidentally spoke to me through the vicinity, what I was thinking earlier. Mr. Ilnes then nods and opens his mouth after seeing the Lilias in training as chills.

"... I see - it's like 'stretching', hey. Maybe I'm in a hurry ~. I think the training method is ~ wrong, no ~"

"Huh? Oh, really?

"Yeah - especially - with the lady. Oh, Anima, you're hitting a bigger wall. It's also a chance to grow bigger."

I had no idea, but Mr. Ilnes tells me with certainty. Mr. Lilia and Anima are hitting the wall? Bigger chance?

When I'm confused, Mr. Ilnes gently reaches out and strokes my head a little before slowly approaching Mr. Lilia in his footsteps.

And when I opened the distance a little, I slapped my hands punched and opened my mouth anticipating that Mr. Lilia and the others had stopped the training hand.

"Please listen to me. Dear Kate, please, I'll give you some advice."

"Illness?"

Listening to what Mr. Ilnes said, Mr. Lilia leaves his neck in wonder.

"First of all, lady, I suggest you train your magic operations, not your physical abilities or your technology."

"Heh? Uh... yes?

"Next no, Anima ~ polish the technology ~. Sieglinde ~ should focus on parallel activation of the procedure. Lunamaria is ~ beware of distance from the other person. Eta and oh, Theta. Ha, you're lacking foundation."

……

"That's it. Something - Question ha, do you have one?

Lilia and the others looked at Mr. Irnes, who would give advice as usual, in a glaring manner as to whether his thoughts were not following him.

Anima, who recovered from the mess the earliest of all, raised one hand.

"Yes - what is it?

"Lord Illness, if you do the sole... can you be stronger now?

By the way, Anima also takes care of Mr. Irnes to teach him how to write letters, so he uses a firm tribute to her.

"Right, give it a try?"

"Try, what?

"Attack me." I said, "I won't use any magic."

"What? Yes, no, but then..."

I also know Anima's confusion well. Not using any magic means not using any physical enhancement or barriers...... it is impotent to be attacked by an anima comparable to the Viscount High Demon Clan in such a state.

"If you want to be strong, don't hesitate to attack - no there, you might have an answer, huh?

"... ok"

Listening to Mr. Ilnes, who tells him without hesitation of any kind, Anima nods and pulls her fist as she decides to be ready.

As Lilia and the others watched with a worrying look, Anima ran toward Mr. Irnes, who wouldn't take one stand... slapping her fist in with all her might...

"... Huh?

I didn't know what happened. When I realized, Anima, who was supposed to have been beaten, had a stunned look as she fell on her back to the ground.

"I threw it so I wouldn't get hurt, are you okay?

"Yes, sir"

"Illness!? Yes, now, what have you done? It only seems to me that Anima was spinning the moment she was touched by Illness..."

Did you throw it? Did it spin the moment it was touched? also, could it be that Mr. Irnes used... aikido?

"Anima doesn't fly from herself, she just adjusted the way she applied her powers."

"What? Uh..."

"Well, that's the kind of technology you have."

I knew it felt like it. Of course I wouldn't call it Aikido because the world is different, but maybe it's the same technology.

Or, Mr. Illness...... strong!? It really didn't use magic to easily attack Anima.

"In the meantime - we'll see about that later. Anima."

"Yes!

"Your physical abilities - even for the Earl's high-ranking Demons - are common enough. But - you know, the attack pattern has become very simple. You - the losing pattern. Well, you can't hit it - it's going to be cut off."

"Huh!?

It was the battle at the Six Kings Festival that came to mind when I heard Mr. Ilnes say it. The figure of Anima, who dares to attack, but gets all the attacks attacked by Mr. Epsilon.

"You don't have to wear skills like me. Wide and shallow - you should learn technology. If you learn the art of hitting an attack - and avoiding an attack - you'll get it. If you learn the art of defense - you'll see how defense breaks down. That way - your attack power, you'll live long enough."

"Yes! I remember the liver!

Anima, who listens to Mr. Illness's advice, rushes up to salute him. Seeing it, Mr. Irnes snorted with a grin ~ much more satisfied.

Then Lilia, who remained with a surprised look, spoke to Mr. Irnes in a slight panic......

"...... (a), Illness. You, this, were you so strong?

"Well - I am now the 'Count High Demon Clan' and no. to some extent ~"

"Hey, I see. Earl class, high-ranking demon... Earl class... Earl... Huh? Yeah, yeah!?

When I heard Mr. Ilnes, who was told that he was clammy, I exclaimed.

Dear Mother, Father - Lilia's screaming would be best. I mean, I was about to scream, too. I thought you would be strong because you easily defeated Anima, but Mr. Irnes was - a high-ranking demon of the Count.
