Once I dismantled my skills in different worlds, my cheesy daughter-in-law multiplied - the structure of conceptual crossing - (WEB version)

"... why are you doing that?"

"Because I'm a brave man."

I've kind of hated hearing the word 'brave' lately. That's strange.

"So I'm going to 'contract' you. That's all I've got. You're a brave man."

Yamazoe unloaded her sword and raised her right arm.

It seems' Medallion of Contracts' is rocking at your fingertips.

"Come here and fight me. Patience as a brave man. And I forgive you. Nothing will happen if you win. That's not a bad story, is it?

"Can we just fight?

"Yes."

"One-on-one?

"Oh. Don't"

"Is the use of weapons or items OK?

"I don't mind. Although it would be natural to use what you are equipped with!

"What's the definition of 'fight'? I guess that doesn't mean we can cross swords until each other dies. Set the number of times. Once, twice or three?

"You're a fine guy! Twice would be fine!

"That's still a lot, give me one."

"Ok!! You and I can cross swords one-on-one. Weapons and items are free to use! That way I will miss you and will not harm my men!! I hope so!!

"'Contract' in abbreviated form, please"

"Just hurry up!!

The thing is... that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Freedom to use weapons and items. I mean, this one can be used by Leggy, Ciro and Lord Des.

If you exchange the sword even once, OK.

Even if something is going on over there, I can prevent it with Shiloh's "Shirudo".

Even if 'Shirudo' is broken, Lord Des is a powerful armor. You'll be able to prevent a blow or so...... the moment you snap, 'Don't have a problem!' I get a reply. Looks fine.

"Okay. That's fine."

"'Contract'!!

Me and Yamazoe's Medallion of Contracts shine a light.

Honestly, I don't want to deal with them.

But Yamazoe is dangerous.

Previously, 'visitors' had moved with the benefits in mind. To be brave or to be recognized by the nobles?

But Yamazoe doesn't have it.

It's only dangerous if you can't read the behavior. Let's tie this place up with a contract.

"Well, I'll be there."

"... your husband," "hey," "or" which "

"I'll be fine. Just once, I'll put my sword together."

I left Rita and Eine, Katras, and I came forward.

At the same time, Yamazoe's sword sheds light and illuminates my helmet.

"... you're not gonna show me your face"

"It's not enough to show you. Yamazoe-Takashi"

"Is that voice... Nagyama Soutaroo!?

Have you noticed?

And you remembered very well. My pseudonym.

"I knew you had powerful skills..."

"Not so much. I'm not the strong one."

"How many levels!? Is that LV6? Wouldn't that be LV9!?

"So he's not that strong."

"You mean you can't tell me, you're lower than me, right? Wouldn't you!?

"You don't care. Let's end this with a sword."

I set up Leggy the Devil's Sword.

Getting so close, I manage to see Yamazoe's face.

I'm laughing. I don't like it.

"Once, if you can just cross swords, no problem. You think so, don't you? But what if there's a big difference in strength? For example, I'm on LV6. If you were LV1, I wonder if I could even kill you with one blow?

What the fuck?

There's a blue and white light coming from under Yamazoe's feet.

"This skill has an unconditional effect on those who are within range"

Yamazoe waves up his sword.

"Oh - Yamazoe - the strongest - skill - that's"

"... whoever was used... no one... beat the Yamazoe..."

"... that skill... that man... is within reach..."

-What? I can't hear people well.

Is this also the effect of Yamazoe's skills?

Immediately I activate Capability Contact Analyser.

If you're touching the effects, you know what you're capable of.

The displayed Yamazoe skills...

"Level Downer LV4"

Set the skill level of those in the range of effects to 1.

The owner of this skill is not eligible.

The range is less than 100 meters. The moment you get out of range, your skill level goes back to normal.

High level Ranged Attacks also become Level 1 Power the moment they are within range.

"... wow"

Indeed, this skill makes Yamazoe the strongest.

It's only natural that other humans will be level one. There will be no one around who is stronger than himself. So the strongest skill, you mean?

"Then let's go! Think of the difference in strength, Naki Mountain (Nagyama) Soutaroo!!

Yamazoe waves up the Great Sword.

"Leggy! Lord Death!

"Uhm!"

"With support..."!

I waved the Devil's Sword Leggy.

Lord Death of Demon King Armor supports my movement to match the high level (probably) Yamazoe. Leggy's black blade overlaps Yamazoe's blade of light.

And...

Shiru.

My "Soft Water Swordsmanship" drained Yamazoe's sword.

All right, that completes the 'contract'.

".................. ah?

Yamazoe is crumbling and putting a sword on the ground.

"What is this? How could I lose to you!? My swordsmanship level is six!? You should be able to crush a Level 1 opponent with a single blow!!

"I don't care if they say that."

'Cause the cheat skills I've' rebuilt 'are basically level one.

"Soft Water Swordsmanship" just got to level 2 a while ago.

Until then, I've normally received a powerful enemy sword at level 1, so there's no way I'm back at level 1.

Oh, but it's hard for 'Interworld Conversation' to be level one... don't you?

I just got Rita's message in True Consciousness Sharing Mind Linkage True.

The skills of the "consciousness-sharing" system are like telepathy, so it doesn't seem to require translation.

"The 'contract' conditions over here were met. I crossed swords with you. That's all right."

"... I won't admit"

"Huh?"

"Can you admit I would lose to a wild visitor!! Such a defeat - such a defeat!! I... was hired by a nobleman... to be like a wild dog..."

"A wild dog..."

After all, I can't talk to Yamazoe.

For the record, when I was summoned, what would have happened if the king hadn't thrown me out and I was supposed to work with Yamazoe?

Maybe this guy never saw me as a work associate, and he swung...

I mean, I was at work for once, so I was attached to...

... In the end, I guess it was terrible.

After all, I'm glad the king threw me out then.

I could meet Cecil, and I could meet Rita.

... Cecil and... I wonder how Lafilia is. I want to see you.

"You know, Yamazoe."

"... like this. If you fight from such a front and lose... don't deceive me. The king kicked me out, and if I lose to you... I'm a brave man... damn it!

Listen to me for a second.

"Oh, yeah. I 'contracted' to miss you, but if the others kill you voluntarily, it shouldn't be a problem! Right. There's no way I can live with such a sense of defeat. So..."

"Everyone else has passed out."

After the battle between me and Yamazoe was cleaned up, all the participants in the Martial Arts Games were stunned by Eine with a "memory sweep".

Everyone's fainting amicably in the alley.

"─ Okay. Kill me."

"Oh, my God, it's so hard."

"Can you live with such a sense of defeat! You have to go down more than I do! I've lived thinking I'm the strongest... like this"

"So, shall we erase our memories?

Eine's "memory sweep" can erase the memory of the last dozen minutes.

"Yamazoe has a 'contract' with me. I can't get my hands on my men anymore. Even if you erase the memory of meeting me, the 'contract' will remain. If Yamazoe wants, he will."

"Is that true!! Then get the fuck out of here!!

"... is that okay?"

"I'm the strongest. The strongest means you don't know defeat. If I don't remember losing to you, I'll forget defeats-- which means I don't know defeats. You're the strongest bravest man I can stay with!!

"Okay. You can do whatever you want now."

I invited Eine. [M]

When asked about the situation, Eine activates "Clear Memory". Mop Yamazoe's face.

Continue rubbing with more mops to extract the memories of the last dozen minutes.

That's how Yamazoe lost consciousness satisfactorily.

"Well. Shall we hide somewhere like this? I mean, I'm leaving town in the morning."

"That's sneaky."

"If it's dawn, I can't find you using Lord Death's chariot."

"Iris and Leticia, we meet in a village on the way."

Me, Rita, Aine and Katras nodded and left the scene.

IRIS is contacted in "True and Conscious Sharing" Mind Linkage True.

Then Illis arranged our hiding place.

Illis and Leticia are supposed to get out of town by carriage in the morning.

I plan to rendezvous in an unpopular place.

"... Bye. Yamazoe."

I finally waved at the falling Yamazoe.

Sync as a 'visitor', but, I guess, I'll never see him again.

Let's at least hope you live normal.

That's how we decided to wait for dawn in the safe house that Illis had arranged for us.

- After the Nagis left...

"... ugh"

Yamazoe shook her head and stood up.

For a moment, I can't remember why I'm here, and Yamazoe looks around. This is the back street of town.

When I looked up, I saw the faces of the participants in the Martial Arts Games.

They all seemed angry. I wonder what happened.

"What are you doing! We're going back to the Arena! Run!!"

…………

No reply.

Everyone, stay close to Yamazoe.

"How come it doesn't work? You're going against me... Count Kelvis!?

"Is it true that the 'Martial Arts Games' are meant to create the Demon King's Army?

said one of the tournament participants.

"A brave man is a phantom. Are we being used?

"Hey, what are you saying?

How do you know that?

Managing information to participants in the Martial Arts Games should be perfect.

I have not communicated any unnecessary information, nor have I been able to contact the outside world.

Furthermore, it is forbidden to divide the quarters into small rooms and to travel to and from each other's rooms.

I don't think we're all going to get this information.

"Using you guys can't possibly be that!!

"But just now..."

"Earlier? We should have been out training for the night!! That's how I'm going to go home. There was nothing... nothing..."

Yamazoe looks around at the competition participants and screams.

"Don't get lost! Don't get lost in the fight. It's always important that we think we're the strongest. That'll clear the way every step of the way."

"" ""... ha ""

"Don't forget. Through the Martial Arts Games, you will be chosen brave men."

Goku.

All over Yamazoe, the chill ran.

"Hey, what!? What's that...?

The moment I uttered the word 'brave man', I felt the fear to the point where it was absurd.

Impossible.

I'm supposed to be the chosen brave man. Of the mightiest brave...

"Hey, what is it? What the hell is this fear...!?

─ ─ I don't remember Yamazoe.

That the fear was what I felt when I was defeated by Nagi.

To erase his sense of defeat, he had his memory erased.

But the fear remained.

Fear that my skills didn't make sense.

The fear that the visitors of the wild, who I was looking down on, were actually strong.

Fear that I am a fake and that the real 'courageous' is elsewhere.

─ ─ When Nagi defeated him, Yamazoe was reminded of it.

But the memories disappeared.

So now Yamazoe doesn't know what causes fear.

Fear of the Nagi remained a fear of the existence of the 'brave'.

"Ugh, that's a lie. If I, Yu, Yusha, don't be a brave man... but uhhhhh!!

"Mr. Yamazoe!?

"Hold on!

"Why are you doing this when that's all you had...?

Participants in the Martial Arts Games walk out with a shoulder to Yamazoe.

I didn't feel sorry for him.

Because I wanted to speak to Count Kelvis, who will host the tournament. You couldn't just throw out Yamazoe for that.

More than a dozen minutes later, the participants and Yamazoe, supported by them, reach the 'arena'.

And then...

"Oh. Of which, uh-uh!!

I heard a scream.

The hasty participants used the keys Yamazoe had and opened the entrance to the arena.

Once inside......

"Shaggaaaaaaa!!

"Father!? How could your father do this to you?

There he was, the eldest son of Count Kelvis and the woman who was a participant in the Martial Arts Games.

And it was a black alien monster.

He is several times taller than an adult.

The whole body rests on a plush exoskeleton, with giant nails growing in the hands.

There is no hair on the head, instead a twisted horn grows. My eyes are red as blood.

In the open mouth, countless fangs grow.

"" "A demon king's men!!

"No!! No, it's not. That's my father."

"Shaggaaaaa!! Grrrrrrrr!!"

"Even your father. Please shut up for a moment!!

The eldest son of Count Kelvis screams.

As he sought salvation, he looked at Yamazoe and...

"Yamazoe. What are you doing! Keep your father quiet with your skills!!

"... ah, oh. Is that the Demon King?

"No! Anyway, use 'Level Downer'!! You are a brave man...... why are you grumbling here!? Why are you shivering!?

"... no. I'm a crook... brave, frightened, frightened..."

"Shaggaaaaaaa!!

"Ahhh. So Father, be quiet!!

"" "" Defeat the Devil King's Hands!! We are the brave ones!!

"Please don 't-- whoa!

"Brave man frightened... frightened..."

As a result, the sound of battle echoed in the "arena" late at night.

The next day, in the name of Camille, Count Kelvis' eldest son, it was announced that the Martial Arts Games had been cancelled and that the Count himself had gone missing.
