Episode 81

Returning to Belousa, I immediately sent two werewolf to Lünheit.

"Transform and go back to Lünheit as fast as possible. Give this letter to Ilia. If there is a Demon King, don't forget to report it there."

"Roger that!"

"please leave it to me!"

If anything has happened in this area, I'm left alone. You need a helper for the survey alone.

Parker, as a liaison, makes daily round trips to the reef with the mermaids.

"Do you want to keep me casually away?"

"I haven't. Let me reassure them."

"I understand ... but then, after telling a special joke that I just came up with."

"Good, go fast"

This also serves as surveillance, since it is not possible that mermaids are doing something behind the scenes.

But just in case.

From the standpoint of the Demon Lord's aide, it is unfortunate that you should not trust others lightly.

Of course, humans also need to keep an eye on them. This is just in case.

This is the Monza squad.

"Watch them out for strange imitations."

"Yes, captain. If I imitate you, can I kill you?"

"No use"

"Muu"

What is useless even if it is cute and relentless is useless.

Or rather, where did you learn that kind of thing?

Rashii is whispering from the side when he is wondering.

"No, Monza. It's more like," I want to help you. "

"Oh, I see."

Not really.

"Lashiy. I'm glad you got along with the werewolf, but could you not breathe anything strange?"

"I'm sorry, but I want to help Mr. Weid ..."

Rashii, who says so, looks cute and relentless.

Well, you've just advised Monza right now.

Do you think that it will pass even though it is ballet?

"No, you should swim training as punishment"

`` Eh !? ''

I have a little idea.

This may be useful.

Rashii changed into a swimsuit and forced her to practice swimming at the port.

"Va, Weid! I'm born in the north, so I can't swim!"

"That's why I want to be able to swim. You want me to help?"

`` No!

I just pat my back lightly, but Rashi screams and jumps into the sea from the pier.

I've seen such comedians in the past life ...

Of course she is not good at drowning, so she has a rescuer.

I yelled at the Gurney brothers who were slamming at sea.

"Hey guys, don't play, just take care of Rashi!"

Then Gurney shouts back while scratching the dog.

"We just swim in the river, and we're not so good!"

"I used to teach breaststroke a long time ago.

I had been teaching crawls and breaststrokes to my generation of wolves when I was a kid. So everyone can swim to the extent that they don't drown.

Since then, the Gurney brothers were not good at swimming and felt that they had found an unexpected weakness.

Even if you are not good at being a werewolf, your physical strength will be raised, so if you swim in a calm cove, you will not have any trouble.

I'll just keep an eye out here. When it's time to rescue you underwater breathing.

While sitting on the pier and spreading the spellbook, I decided to reconfirm the techniques that might be needed in the future.

Magic in this world is hard to use just by learning spells and actions.

Formal procedures are quite time-consuming and require the concentration of mental skills to use them. Except for a very simple technique, it cannot be used at all.

Therefore, I usually put it in one corner of my consciousness when it comes to emergency use. Complete the chanting and movements in advance, and leave them ready to activate.

It's a bit like registering magic that you often use in MMO as a shortcut.

It can be said that the strength of a magician during a battle is determined by the number of frames of this shortcut. No matter how advanced you master it, there is no point in not being able to use it right away.

By the way, I can prepare about five or six techniques. That's an average number for a professional magician.

Rashii can also use advanced illusions, but the number of ready-to-be ready is about the same. Not so dexterous.

Parker and Melene have more experience as sorcerers and should be a bit more.

The teacher has no idea how many preparations can be made. I think the digits are literally different.

That's why I've been putting in the conscious shortcuts that might be needed at sea and endlessly thinking about what to remove instead.

"I can't remove muscular strength, reflective speed, and resilience."

"Vide-san! At least, at least you can reach your feet! Pod, practice step by step ...!"

While the Gurney brothers are watching, they are swimming in a mess.

"Don't worry, it's not that deep! Strengthening your defenses ... Well, but why should I use water walking? Wait, wait, should I put in some treatment magic?"

There are some techniques recently taught by my teacher. I want to try this too.

As I was thinking about it, Rashi suddenly swam quickly. Apparently you got the trick.

"Ah !? Something can go !? How are you, Mr. Weid!"

"Oh yeah, do your best! If you don't need to use it suddenly, why not remove it ..."

I narrow down the necessary techniques while supporting me appropriately.

I'm a Buffer, so I have to consider persistence when choosing a technique.

If the effect lasts for half a day, it is better to apply it in advance, and if it lasts in a few seconds, it is troublesome to start over.

It's very difficult ...

At last, Lashii seemed to master breaststroke, and started swimming happily.

"I did it! I did it! Weid! I can now swim!"

"Oh, it was faster than expected. Great, Rashi. Good work."

"Ehe"

I give the following instructions to her, who smiles shyly.

"Then next, come under the bottom of the small boat."

"eh?"

"While swimming, look closely at the water and the bottom of the boat. When you get used to it, gradually switch to a bigger boat."

"What?

Don't be angry because this is also a thought.

Good luck, former saint.
