Magic? Muscle Is Much More Important Than Such A Thing!
43. There's no way the soil tastes good.
A few days after both arms were revived.
After a few days of checking the movement of the body and making sure it wasn't a problem, we decided to head to the Hihi Forest as soon as possible.
"Are you nervous?
Feelia answered my question with a smile.
"I wouldn't have a body if I'd just done it now."
"You seem to know better than anything."
Yes, this time it's going to be the longest street ever.
It is expected to take around five days on the road. We are supposed to stop by a nearby village to secure food along the way.
This is all we have. It's out of the question to get distracted, but I get flat even if I'm too tense.
I look at Phyllia next door.
... It looks okay, but let me just relax.
"Hey, Feelia."
"What is it?
"Ugh ho ho."
"Kufu...... Yihihihihihi!
All right. Very unwillingly, but this should do fine.
A few minutes later, where Phyllia's laughter had subsided, me and Phyllia took a step towards the Hihi Forest.
vast red soil and sky as far as you can see.
In exactly the right place to call it the wilderness, a beautiful elf shaking silver hair and earthy demons confronted each other.
Watching it in the shadows is a man with very beautiful muscles.
Its body is covered with muscle. The stubborn look is in the back, but the fruit, his muscles are soft.
Maintaining suppleness allows us to build muscles without reducing the range of motion in the joint.
Its muscles are as vast as the sky, enveloping the world gently as the sea.
Yes, muscles are the roots of life.
Who is a man with such great muscles - this me who hides what?
I was observing the battle of Phyllia.
I know Feelia's gotten pretty strong since she met me, but if you just look at her fighting skills, she's still a little short of a Class A adventurer.
If you add that you can use healing magic, you have more than enough strength as a Class A, but it won't hurt to work out.
That's why I desperately suppressed my fighting appetite and watched Firia fight.
"Shh, shh."
Phyllia unleashes one magic after another on the demons she confronts.
... but that's really good.
Watching how things were going made me feel inside.
While taking out all the magic of the earthen monster, it is steadily gaining damage.
Stand around so well in case you don't have to intervene.
After a few minutes, the demon was defeated by the water magic unleashed by Phyllia.
- And that's where I sense signs over the sky.
"Feelia!"
"Yes."
A flame ejected from Phyllia's palm burns a demon flying from the sky.
Apparently, he noticed the demons in the sky.
Instead of showing too much fighting spirit even during the battle, Phyllia is basically calm and has a wide horizon.
Speaking up was an unwanted favor.
"Phew..."
I look into the body of a falling bird demon.
It burns well thanks to fire magic. It's noon, and it's just fine.
"All right, you want some?"
"... I eat, but eating non-edible demons is totally barbarian business, right?"
Certainly not something that could have been eaten, except for some demons. Many demons.
"I eat what I can. I don't think I can carry that much food."
"Well, it's both of us... can't you help it?"
The content of dimensional bags is also limited. I can't travel with just five days worth of food.
Give Phyllia a bird demon that still looks delicious, and I will lay my hands on a dirt monster.
Seeing me silently move my hands and mouth and stuffed the demon into my mouth, Phyllia becomes an imaginary face.
"…… Yuri, is that demon delicious? It just looks like dirt."
"If you can imagine the taste of the soil, you can be sure"
When placed in the mouth, the first crunchy touch of sand spreads into the mouth.
From the mouth sounds a giddy and discord, shaking his head.
And then the tongue feels a hint of metal.
This meal is not very different from the intact intake of iron and soil.
"Tsu, the taste of soil? That is………………………………."
"Oh, modestly, it's unpleasant. It tastes bad on the gorilla."
At least it's definitely not what humans eat.
I've eaten a lot of things in the woods, but I just never ate dirt.
'Cause I'm not eating.
At this rate I proceeded without anything on the road.
I'm bored. I want you to come out even though you're strong.
Day two, stop by the village.
It's a small, peaceful village.
"Mom, there's someone I don't know."
"Oh, it's true. Maybe an adventurer. It's rare."
It seems that this village is poorly transported because of its pompous presence where there is nothing, and few people come from outside the village.
I felt a little uncomfortable with the villagers staring uncommonly, but immediately changed my mind.
"Isn't this a chance to spread muscle excellence to the world?" and my brilliant head flashed.
Act as soon as you think of it.
I started a muscle course for villagers who gathered around us because of their rarity.
Break clothes, free muscles - and show the audience the muscles you've worked out.
"This is the big chest muscle. There's no bad guy for a guy who's building muscles. Muscles connect the world."
"That's so disgusting!
"I saw a demon!
"Yikes!"
"You have to show your kids something!
The muscle course was a disapproval during disapproval, so much so that the village chief appeared in the excess noise.
Phyllia whispers, "Mr. Yuri, please shut up already". Is it my fault.........?
"It's done, traveler"
The village chief comes out one step forward.
An elderly man. His hips are crooked, even though he's just making his lower back look lower.
The squeaky voice made me feel calm.
"I'm sorry, my people have been a little slap-free. I swear, it's harmless."
I lowered my head after Phyllia.
I have no idea that I did anything wrong, but I am the one who created this situation right now - that is, crying and running around with the kids and the sight of the nasal cry that my parents are desperate for.
My feelings for my muscles seem to have been twisted, and I'm not sorry. I am truly sorry.
"It must be a cultural thing, for the most part. So, what kind of errands do you have in this village? Honestly, it's not the kind of village that comes all the way over here."
Mayor Takeshi, I miss you so much.
"Thank you. I wanted to get some food. We can get demonic material out of you. Some A-rank materials are available."
The village chief glances at Phyllia's words.
A-rank materials are hard to market, so I can't help it.
"That's it. Hey, take these people home."
Somehow he was led to the biggest building in the village.
That's a relief. How angry Phyllia would be if she didn't get food because of me.
"Please, call me."
I'm a little surprised that the interior of the house is well built as I change into my changed clothes.
From the outside, he appeared to be in pain from exposure to windstorms, but how is wood so sturdy?
"You have a very different atmosphere than outside. It's like this is the only urban aristocratic room."
Phyllia can't seem to hide her surprise either.
When he heard that, the village chief laughed as if he were "ho ho".
"You mustn't be fooled to do business. It's the wickedness of a small twitch trying to move the deal forward in his favor. Please laugh and forgive me."
The village chief's eyes glowed dull and his cunning blinded.
