With my soul out of my mouth, I managed to get back from the other side of the sky and rushed to get dressed and come to the demon hunters of support.
The two backup demon king hunters were in the middle of a snack in the dining room on the first floor of the inn.
Sitting at a round table of six, one is an elderly man who would be over sixty years of age and the other is a tattooed, mature man who has sparingly exposed his musculoskeletal torso.
The old man rushes down from upstairs. He looks at me and says as he handles his white beard.
"Oh boy, you show it to me from the morning. It's hard to keep a crocodile from afar."
Best of all, that's still what they said.
I rush to try to clarify.
"Chi, it's not. That's... There must be some misunderstanding."
"What is the misunderstanding? Keep all three of those beautiful daughters on the bed. Uh, I don't envy you."
"No, so..."
I try so hard to think of excuses, but I can't think of anything.
I don't even think it would work objectively when I said the fact that my godchildren were anxious to accompany me to bed, etc.
By the way, the more musculoskeletal guy just glances at me lightly and begins to carry the meat on the table into his mouth without any particular interest.
And there 's--
"Hey brother, who are those people?
"Hey, are you guys called Demon King Hunters of Solidarity?
"... That was about coming around noon today.... Now that information, it was a fake to fall for your brother"
After me from upstairs, three godchildren came down the stairs.
Guys, get dressed from your pajamas. It's for activities.
An old man who sees it makes a face full of joy.
"Oh, you're such a cute little lady. ─ ─ Look, there's extra seats there. Have a seat, everyone."
To the words of the old man, three people, Rio, Illis and Mayfa, have been watching me.
I nod with the will to "sit down" towards the three of you while I drop my shoulders disappointingly.
Prioritizing solving misunderstandings is going to make the story so much easier, let's talk about it for now.
Seeing me nod, the three godchildren took their seats thoughtfully.
I'll sit in an empty seat, too.
"Oh, boy, you seem to miss the Lord."
"... yeah, well. He's my goddaughter, all three of them."
"Hmm? I heard you were a teacher at the College of the Brave, but you held a godson. Well, then again..."
"Chi, no! I'll explain that story later...... Can we introduce ourselves to each other first?"
"Oh, that's right. It was so shocking that we forgot that we met each other for the first time. Ho, ho."
The old man laughs in good spirits.
Thank you. You don't seem to care much about the details...
─ ─ So I introduced myself first, then introduced Rio, Iris and Mayfa in turn.
Later, however, it will be an introduction to the two supporting Demon King Hunters.
First the old man opened his mouth better.
"I am mainly Manuel, the demon hunter operating in the south of the country. As you can see, I'm not going to fall behind the youngsters there yet. Well, then," Demon Emperor, "Manuel. Sometimes it's called by two big names."
"..." Demon Emperor "Manuel?... it's like I heard somewhere"
Mayfa tilts her neck.
I'll answer Mayfa's questions like that.
"When you received the Mayfa's Brave Cards at the Brave Alliance, Rio would have asked. Who is the strongest man in the world? I put it in my mouth then. This Manuel is one of the most powerful brave men in the world."
"" "Ahhhhhhh!
Three surprised voices chorused.
The old man who sees it looks happy.
"Here. I got an ideal reaction. If it surprises me, I'll be happy as a jizzy person."
"What... So, what about the other one...?
Rio roughly looks at the other - the musculoskeletal man.
The musculoskeletal man replied, with few words.
"I'm Oswald. It's also known as Oswald the Martial God."
"" "Yeah, yeah, yeah!!?
My kids are showing brilliant reactions sometime.
These guys are usually on the surprise side, so that's a pretty valuable scene.
He asks me how Iris is pompous.
"Well, then, Doctor... do you mean that both of the bravest men we call the most powerful class in this world are right in front of us...?
"Ooh, that's what happens. I was surprised when Mr. Cedric first told me."
"I heard the Vampire Road came out, because I can't say I don't want to go because my back hurts today. Well, ladies, why don't you rub my hips later?"
That's what the old man - “Demon Emperor” Manuel - asks him to slap his hips with a ton.
But when I saw it, Rio became a jerk.
"... hey brother, is this grandpa really strong, anyway, your mukimuki old man? I'm getting worried about something..."
Rio said something terrible in front of the most powerful brave man in the world.
I get embarrassed in a hurry.
"Oh, hey, Rio! Don't be too rude!
"Well, come on. We're gonna go fight a big boss about the world sucks, right? You were so weak with all your names. You suck."
That's true......
Is this fearlessness before the Epic brave supposed to be referred to as the privilege of a child?
Speaking of which, I also feel like this when I just became a Demon King Hunter a few years ago......
On the other hand, the old man who hears it - calling himself "Demon Emperor” Manuel - handles his beard with pleasure.
"Look, you're brave, young lady. What, do you want to 'stand up' with your daughter and me?
"Standing together... are you going to fight without your weapon? Here?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Literally, we don't just stand up to each other."
That being said, the old man rises from his seat and walks towards a large, empty space in front of the dining room counter.
…… What do you mean? "
Rio leans his neck wonderfully, but follows it.
So the old man and Rio, they stood about ten steps apart, facing each other.
The old man opens his mouth.
"Well, daughter, try to hit me with all your strength towards the eagle. No."
"Struggle...? Oh, you mean that. If we bump into each other, we'll know more or less what we're capable of."
Rio seemed convinced and set up straight toward the old man.
Feet shoulder-width apart, arms naturally lowered, fists gently gripped.
And after one deep breath...
"─ Ha!
Along with a harsh hanging voice, Rio's fighting spirit was unleashed.
The fluctuations of force shake the air with fright.
The owner of the inn, who was looking at something, trembled terribly and nearly took off the cup.
Struggle is the power that is the source of the superhuman abilities of the brave.
Anyone who is brave has more or less, but naturally the more capable brave they are, the more struggling they are packed.
The old man, bathed in Rio's struggle, gave an interesting look by crushing "ho".
"As expected, this is a lot of daughters. Your two daughters have the same power as your lord, don't they?
"Oh. Your brother's stronger, by the way."
"Look, I'll take it. I'll take it. That kid seemed to have spotted the power of Washi and Oswald at first sight. - Okay, daughter, now it's my turn. Just hold on tight and hold on."
That said, old man, take one deep breath here.
And with his hands behind his crooked hips...
"─ Ho!
Along with a small hanging voice, a huge struggle was unleashed.
- Whoa, whoa!
The power surrounds Rio with a pressure that multiplies that of his struggle.
"Ugh...!
"... Grr... two, strong... be pushed...!
Iris and Mayfa, bystanders, were just barometric when they said they were nearby.
Likewise, I felt so much pressure of force that I was going to tremble when I lost my mind.
Struggling barometric pressure to the point where a crooked little old man standing in a dining room seems far more powerful than a giant dragon or giant who reigns in the wilderness.
Only one “martial arts god” Oswald looked cool...
Even us watching, that's how it goes.
When Rio was struck by that struggle,
"─ Uh-oh!
He jumps and then kneels as his back crumbles.
When the old man who saw it - “Demon Emperor” Manuel - suppressed the liberation of the struggle, Rio shuddered to the floor.
"Ha, ha, ha...! Oh, my God, this... this... this... so..."
"Here. This is the difference between your lord and me in the season. Don't fall for it because you're talented. 'Cause it's a waste of time when stretching is a heavenly dog."
Saying so, “Demon Emperor” Manuel walks up to Rio and gently grabs and lifts the girl's neck with his clever arms.
Lifted like a cat, Rio was brought unconstructively as it was and then sat in a chair.
And Manuel himself sits back in the chair.
"No, but you can't beat the annual wave. It wasn't like this back in the day. ─ ─ So, miss, I was wondering if you could rub my hip later."
"Oh, yes... haha..."
Rio had a soul-drained eye and was half laughing.
