Episode Three Hundred Ten: From the Valley Bottom Up (Sho)

"Clear... you did"

"You did, your husband."

From where they just came out, I looked at the big hole where the dungeon should have been.

The big hole is already to be just cratering and the entrance is nowhere to be found.

"Master, I don't know what to do now."

"You've made up your mind. We're getting out of this forest.... we can do it now."

"Yeah... right... then"

The next moment I felt magic from Lil, I was wrapped in an aura like a black wind.

It's not just black too... something like this, black in a flashy way... anyway, that's not normal.

This is the effect of Lil's "Storm Shadow Flying God Hegemony" skill. I'll skip all kinds of explanations... but do you think one of the effects is that you can fly freely through the sky?

Now we can go between the top of the valley.

"Master, come!

And Lil stuck his hips out at me.

I mean, I'm gonna fly in the air on Lil's back.

I'm really glad it was a mind-blower, because even a mind-blower can fly through the sky... with as much magic, dexterity and MP as I do.

But when Lil got this skill, he said, 'We're dating, so when we climb up to the corner of the valley, we're together'.

And here's what happened.

... I admitted it because I thought we were just holding hands.

"Hey, Lil. Me... I didn't think Lil would carry me... Can't we just hold hands?

"Wahoo... why?

"No, you're going to have to carry something... Kind of..."

When I said that, Lil turned this way and swelled his cheeks and then re-said this.

"Then... you hold me from behind. You have to be strong... but good?

"... well, that would be good"

And I say.

I'm very embarrassed to hug you... How much better than being carried? Yeah.

If they ask me what's the difference between holding me from behind and being carried... it's a matter of feeling that I can't hold my legs.

I hugged Lil.

Still soft... no, nothing.

"Eh heh... your husband is warm... All right, let's go then."

Lil ran out into the sky.

I stick with the power of my arm and my meditation to avoid falling off.

"Here we are."

"Ooh."

Get off Lil's back.

I'm pretty taller, and Lil has a growing tail, so I was pretty tight riding in a pretty rough position, but nothing like having a valuable experience of being carried by a girl at this age.

... I was in distress so hard, it would have been a flash if I could have flown in the sky.

"Well... how do we get back to the city..."

"Wouldn't it be nice to run home"

It takes hours from here to the city.

A few days on foot… it would take quite a while to pull the limits of speed and run. Above all, I'm tired.

"Oh, yeah or tired? Then look in the villages nearby... from there _____"

An old man's voice came from a distant rock shadow when Lil nearly said so.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here!? Who gives you permission to stay here?

The Lord of that voice approached us.

He's a builder-level gorimaccio of muscle moly that doesn't look like me, with long, shrunken hair.

He's over 2 meters tall, right?

There is a big hammer on my shoulder.

"Uh... who is it?

In the meantime, I asked.

But Lil seemed to know who this old man was and told me right away.

"Your husband... he's an SSS Ranker Tor."

"Seriously!?

The hell with SSS Ranker here _____ Oh, that, or did he come to defeat the regular Fresberg?

"Gahahaha! You're right, lady! I'm Tor..." Thunder Emperor "Tor! Gahahahahahahahaha"

An old man like Thor laughs out loud.

You have this kind of old man... who feels powerful.

"So, why are you here? You're supposed to be off-limits?

"Oh, no, the... if I explain it, it'll be longer..."

"Hmm ______?"

What? What? Old man, you've come right next to me and peeked into my face to make sure of something.

I smell alcohol and cigarettes from an old man named Thor.

"Ah!? You guys... hadn't taken your quest here nearly a week ago!?

And, old man.

Do you know if we were gone...?

Fast talk, for example.

"Yeah, sure."

"Right... no, I, uh, I came here to defeat the Fresberg Tsutsu, who came out a few days ago. The job is early. I'm done... and the slave girl in the red headscarf with the brunette who was doing the favor the day that Fresberg appeared in this valley is missing..."

I knew you came to defeat Fresberg... and you already defeated him, this guy. SSS Ranker is strong after all. It's not Dada.

And, you know, we're in the right place for missing people. Good.

"Hey... there were rumors that he was dead... I didn't know he was alive! Gahahahahahaha! You guys are a pain in the ass, gahahahaha!... How did you ever do that?

Me and Lil are old Tor... you can have Mr. Tor, no more.

I explained to Mr. Thor that I had been in distress for the past few days, that I had been able to beat demons in the woods and live longer, and that I had just, now, escaped by flying through the sky with the power of my skills, which I had allocated points gained from an increase in levels due to the experience gained at that time, with a slight distortion of the story.

"Nah I see! Gahahahaha! All right, all right. I was just leaving... carriage, you want to ride?

"Ah... thank you!

"Thank you"

Old man kind.

We could have had Mr. Thor in his carriage.
