We exorcised a little herd of watchdogs named Vampire Wolf, and we go further into the creepy woods.

Then, after a short walk, the forest broke off and we finally reached our destination, the ancient castle.

Walking forward, Rio looks up at the ancient castle and spits.

"Here's Vampire Road and Sister Cecilia..."

Meanwhile, Iris and Mayfa lean against me and look up at me anxiously.

"Doctor... Cecilia, I'm sure you can help...?

"... I absolutely don't like the unfortunate consequences.... Always help, brother."

I nod and answer with my hands on their heads.

"Oh. We'll do everything we can to beat Cecilia to a halt. ─ ─ Okay, Rio, Illis, Mayfa."

"" "Yes!

Good energetic reply from the godchildren.

With that in my ear, I also looked up at the old castle, standing in front of me again.

Stone gateways and iron lattice-shaped gateways.

Numerous bats are flying around the perimeter, making a kick-ass noise.

If you look up at the sky, the dark clouds are covered, and it's dim around that it's only before noon.

On the contrary, there is even a thunderous sound of gobbling up in the air.

The sunlight is whispered by dark clouds and barely reaches.

This would hardly disadvantage vampires if they fought outside.

... It's a bad day.

The upcoming vampire Negijo is indoors, so even though the weather is basically irrelevant, it must be more desirable to attack it during sunny weather because of the need.

But I can't wait long until the sunny day arrives.

Time limits may be imminent.

But at that time, Manuel, the Demon Emperor, who was looking up at the sky just like me, hummed his nose.

"Chi, it's not funny weather. Let's move it while we still can."

So crushing, Manuel starts to concentrate somehow.

And...

"─ ─ [Weather Control (Control Weather)]!"

Manuel put his hands over his head and released his magic.

Then a vortex of power wrapped around Manuel, and as it stood to the far side of the sky, a dark cloud covering the sky retreated so that it could be pushed against the vortex.

Some time later, the clouds had disappeared only near the sky above the ancient castle as if a great hole had been drilled in the dark clouds, so that the rays of the sun would fall around the ancient castle with Mr.

"This is what it is. Yeah. - Let's go, kids."

When Manuel says it like it's nothing, he moves toward the ancient castle.

“Wushu” Oswald also proceeded to walk lightly.

On the other hand, we're the ones who flatter.

"... hey brother, isn't that an anomaly?

"Oh, I think so too"

I nod greatly at Rio's penetration.

What a comforting companion.

I don't know if I should be all alone with that grandfather anymore... well, I guess not.

But is that the strength of the bravest man who is said to be the most powerful class in the world......

In order for our godchildren to be called the strongest in the world, we have to at least go beyond that grandfather.

I'll ask Rio, who was nearby.

"Hey Rio. Do you think Rio could eventually be a stronger brave man than that Demon Emperor Manuel?

"Eh, I don't know that. What about your brother?"

"Oh, me...? No, I..."

An unexpected question came back, and I said it.

... here's the thing.

I don't have enough of a struggle to be strong.

I used to not be either.

I think he was more giddy and simply enjoyed "The Game I'll Be Stronger Than Anyone".

Speaking of how long I've been like this, maybe since I saw the breadth of the world and my limitations.

I could be at the top of the ten brave men.

I had a vision of just being able to compete for first place among hundreds, or even hundreds of brave men, and I have the pride of having produced quite a few results.

But when this became among the tens of thousands of brave men, I saw my limits.

Yeah, I realized that my standing is here.

No, it's never a bad thing.

Not everyone in the world can be the best, so it would be necessary to make a cut somewhere.

It's more constructive to think about what cards are now handed out on your hand card and what you can do with that card than stick to what you can't get.

Efforts to get a better hand note, as it helps.

I remember that and put my hands on Rio's head with a pong.

"I 'm-- yeah. I wonder if I'd rather have a way of life where I can stretch my spine than someone else."

"Eh, that's not the answer, brother. I mean, I'd do that, too."

"Uh... well, yeah"

Rio told me and I noticed.

Um, why don't you?

What if I, the teacher, push my teacher to compare me to someone?

I just see the possibility, you know...

I can't laugh at your educational mom trying to tie my kid up with an English talent education with this.

"I'm sorry. Rio is Rio, isn't it? You just have to grow up like Rio."

When I said that, Rio did a little thinking.

Then Rio looked up at me with his crushed eyes and said that.

"Hmm... so, brother, if I grew up like me, would you like me more than I do now?

That's so cute.

To hide my inner agitation, I misled Rio's head with these words.

"That's harder than it is now. Anyway, I like Rio the best."

"Become...!?... well, not like that. Come on.... Ha, okay"

Rio, blushing his cheeks a little because of the way he was beheaded, joined Iris and Mayfa away from me.

And Rio reports this to his two sisters.

"Hey, my brother says he likes me the best"

"Ha!? Hey, why...!? I mean, only Rio is cheating to be a teacher again!

"No, it's not cheating. Iris and Mayfa were hugging me earlier."

"... that's it, this is this.... hugs and whatnot. Then another belly.... I'd rather eat as much as I want"

"Oh, I know that"

"Yeah, I agree with that."

I felt like my eyes aimed at the prey of the three godchildren glowed at me.

Duh, I saw it somewhere, this sight...

Meanwhile, then.

“Demon Emperor” Manuel, standing in front of the iron lattice gate of the ancient castle, called out:

"Miss Mayfa, ya. Come here for a second and open this gate. No."

Mayfa, hearing it, rushes over to Manuel.

"... Open the gate, you mean the [unlock (unlock)] of earthly attribute magic?... I don't remember that magic."

"No, I'm going to, I'm not. I thought you told me earlier."

……

Mayfa tilts her neck.

I don't think I have any idea.

Manuel, who saw it, laughed niggardly and said:

"I thought you said you were going to practice my [Undead Arrow (Phoenix Arrow)]. Practice here, turn it into a thing, and tell them to melt this door."

"Yea..."

For the first time in Manuel's unscrupulous life, Mayfa was also pulling a dong.

But there it is, Mayfa is Mayfa too.

The genius girl, who should be called a genius, let her show her terrible talent.
