Ryuugoroshi no Sugosuhibi

Not a disciple, not a student. Something.

Telling Ellis that it would be a priority to clear the request for a while, Kosuke came to Bellassen.

It doesn't mean I have any plans in particular, so I'll drop Ellis off as well as moderately diligent with no objections.

The flash of reward was thrown into the tank. Located, the odds of being a thief are unlikely, so rough handling is not a problem.

After meeting and confirming the client of the banquet art at the beginning, we will carry out a chores request that ends in a short time.

It felt like after 3: 00 p.m. by the time I finished moving luggage from the warehouse, re-furnishing and simply processing the wood, Kosuke thought it might be quick to cut it up, but I thought if I went to the other thing, I might not be able to make it to dinner this time, and I decided to finish this for today.

"Hello"

Dearness was one of the receptionists today, so I decided to get paid there.

"Hello, which request did you end?

"It's these three today. Oh, and I've also confirmed the banquet art."

"Okay. You also have confirmation from your client. Please wait."

Write that you have finished the paperwork properly and prepare the reward.

"Here's six hundred ruts of reward, one silver coin, ten copper coins."

"Indeed."

Deanness talks to Kosuke, who confirms the reward and puts it in her purse.

"Do you have time after this?

"Yes, I'm fine, though?

Could be an invitation to a date! I immediately remembered that I was married and denied that I didn't.

"Actually, it's about a request for an apprentice."

"Oh, I decided to say no to that one."

"Yes. I know this one is going to do the same.

So I told my client that, once I met him, he told me to ask him to do it immediately. "

"It's a direction I'd say no if I met you in person, but that's okay, right?

"Yes. Of course.

I'm going to get my client, so I'd like you to wait a little while in the room, would you mind?

Deanness, who replaced the receptionist, guided Yusuke, who nodded, to the same room as yesterday and asked one of the staff to use it.

About twenty minutes later, officials and clients who went out to use came into the guild.

Deanness, who has also replaced the receptionist, takes her client to the room.

"I brought in Mr. Watase. This is my client, Royce Montea."

A nearly forty woman next to Dearness bowed her head after being introduced.

Kosuke gives a slightly more frightened look to the appearance of someone who is older than expected.

"Uh, is this guy volunteering to be an apprentice?

"No, you don't. He wants Mr. Montea's son to be his apprentice."

"Uh, I see."

The request didn't say anything about taking care of my son, so I was wrong.

"Um, are you sure you're the top adventurer in this guild?

"Top?"

He leans his neck and Kosuke turns his gaze to Dearness.

Deanness, who properly read the meaning of his gaze, affirmed and nodded.

"Apparently so."

"Uh, apparently?

"Because you're unconscious, right? I've only been doing this repeatedly since I was asked."

"This Mr. Watase was appreciated for his work and his name became known. Any job was quick to get the hang of it, and polite work led to high praise."

Deanness supplements the missing part of Kosuke's words.

"What about the fight? Could you just be able to work and be low in strength?

"No, that's not true. We have a proven track record of defeating top-ranked demons here alone."

"Really? Then you can rest assured. Could you please tell me about my son?"

"I refuse to talk about it"

As I had decided, Kosuke said no clearly.

"Do something there"

"Why me? I don't think it has to be me?

"I think my son will be stronger if I keep it with someone strong, and I think he will be safe until I grow up"

Royce herself is an ordinary person who doesn't know anything about battles, so she doesn't know much about how to be strong. So I'm thinking that if you leave it to someone strong to work out, your son can be as strong as that person.

And then a former adventurer acquaintance recommended Yusuke. Royce, who knows nothing about the world of adventurers, followed the recommendation and nominated Kosuke.

"Is that what this is? Well, I still say no."

"How can I get them to take it?

"I don't know what to do. I'm not going to take an apprentice because of a little situation."

"The circumstances?

Deanness asks if you cared.

"Because it's not something I can talk about.

Besides, when you're a disciple in the form of a request, you get paid, can you pay? You just have to pay the first time. "

If you take a disciple, you are bound by it for a long time. Yet just paying for the first time is less profitable for Kosuke's side.

"I can't pay it if it's too expensive, but how much will it be?

Kosuke can't answer because he doesn't know the market, and turns his gaze to Dearness.

Dearness opens her mind just a little bit.

"Right...... one silver coin a month for the dojo you go through to be strong.

In this case, it will be taught exclusively, and if you add Mr. Watase's strength, is it something like three pieces of silver coins a month? "

"Is it three silver coins...... if you chop them up, you might be able to get them out"

I guess you don't have the financial leeway because you look difficult. Still gives me the look of something to do with it.

"I'm deciding on my own, what's your husband saying?

"My husband was murdered by demons at his client ten years ago."

"Uh... sorry to remind you"

To Kosuke's apology, return the answer that it's okay.

"But if you've been through that, don't you want to stop doing things like putting your son into battle?

The question of Dearness was also felt by Kosuke.

"I stopped, but my son really wants to be an adventurer. My husband's buddies told me that he had an admiration."

"If I have company, I think I should get those people to work out.

What about there?

"I don't like that person living out of the country and keeping them far away."

My husband died far away, so I don't want to do my son far away for a long time. I fear he will die before I know the news again. Even if I agree to be an adventurer, I can't give up the part where I want you to be close.

"Nice to meet you"

Keep your head down deeply, please. It feels like I don't even hate being grounded in the atmosphere.

"Hmm... well, I'm still not willing to make you an apprentice"

"... Really?"

Keisuke goes on to sigh Royce like she gave up.

"But enough to give you a little advice. You don't need money either."

Kosuke, slightly moved by the mother's heart who cares about her child, loosens her attitude. It was decided that this would not be such a thing as obtaining a title.

Earlier, we end up dating to some extent, and we're going to have enough relationships to get the title.

But the title never expressed itself.

That's because the gods did a little small work.

The title expression system was created by the gods and is now automated and out of the hands of the gods. Sometimes the gods themselves give titles, but it's really rare.

Although automated, it was originally made by the gods. Fine work such as stopping the expression of titles can be done without great difficulty.

There was a context in which God, who was able to crush his spare time when he saw Yusuke's actions, applied meticulous work as a thank-you for it.

If this craftsmanship was difficult, the gods would have expressed their titles without applying their hands. It's easy, so I thought I'd do this.

"Is it true!?

With a delightful look, Royce holds Kosuke's hand strongly. Kosuke, pushed by its force, takes a step back.

"Thank you!

"I want you to be careful, because I'm not making you an apprentice, and if your son stays away from me, he won't chase you, and he won't be forced to order you without following your instructions. It doesn't always get stronger. Is that good?

Since we refuse to receive compensation, it does not take the form of a request, and waiver in the middle of the request does not make sense.

Roysene nodded, showing how she was lost in Yusuke's words, but decided that she would not get a little help here.

"When will you get to meet my son?

"You can start tomorrow. If you could come here around 9: 00 in the morning. Oh, can you tell me the characteristics of your son?

Tell me your physical characteristics. Royce is leaving.

Yusuke left a few questions for Deanness.

"This doesn't take the form of a request through the guild, does it?

"Yes, because the money hasn't moved. I was wondering if it would take the form of just helping me introduce you. Well, that doesn't make much sense either.

I think volunteering applies best. "

"Volunteers, then you don't have to prioritize development, do you?

"It won't be a problem. Because I think it's volunteers who make their own moves, not someone else's.

I'd like to ask you, how are you going to raise your son?

"I can't say anything because I haven't heard him say how he wants to do it, but for now, I was wondering if I could get him to do some basic workouts on getting better health and stuff. Get a simple chore request when you have the minimum strength, let them save money and gear you up. And then let them study with materials you can see here.

Here's the thing. "

"Don't you want me to take you outside and let you fight demons?

"I guess not. If you already have some strength, that's fine."

"Mr. Royce was putting safety first, and maybe that's the right direction."

Dearness is more mainstream in the way of apprenticeship development in this world. In the meantime, teach them how to handle weapons, and then let their miscellaneous fish opponents go through a real fight to learn how to fight. By defeating the demon, the power rises and soon becomes stronger.

Few people train like Yusuke. Because you get more in action than in training. Of the rush, the powers raised in a training month may be equivalent to those gained in three days of action.

These easy-to-understand differences made me lose the idea of having my basic ability increase trained.

However, training is not at all pointless. Unknown but training also makes sense. For those who have not trained, the amount of power gained by defeating demons is subtly different.

If, as an experiment, those who have not trained in advance for a year started fighting demons at the same time and fought the exact same demons, then a year from now the difference would be apparent if we measured the power of the two.

It's the trainers who have the upper hand.

Assuming the amount of force obtained by the untrained is 100, the amount obtained by the trained person is +20 to it.

Training increases the absorption rate of the force.

It's just a little bit different in WW1, but when you accumulate it, it's an amount you can't fool around.

There are many who do not realize this. Yusuke hasn't noticed either, but the idea of basic training first came to mind in order to be strong.

If Royce's son accepts the workout, he has a good chance of getting stronger.

If Yusuke had been requested and taken by his disciples, he would have become stronger if he could not disobey the instructions of training. But what Yusuke chose was a step away from advising, and it's impossible to force him to train.

It is not yet known whether a strong man of the future will be born.

At dawn, Kosuke was killing his time drinking coffee in his guild. We're waiting for Royce's son, Cochia. It's not like Kokia is late when it comes to waiting, but Kosuke is just here early.

Around five minutes before nine o'clock, a boy came into the guild with dark green eyes in his milk chocolate-colored hair, a trait as it was heard from Roy Sheen. The things you're wearing are sturdy looking leather clothes and jeans, with wooden swords down at your hips and a rushing look to whoever sees them.

Atmospherically, it's a mixture of curiosity and tension. He glances around in his first guild to enter. Due to the stopping at the spot, the passers-by note and apologize while proceeding with their steps.

"Morning. Are you Mr. Royce's son, Cochia?

After a slightly surprised look at Yusuke, who approached him, Kokia nodded as soon as she realized what the words were. What a surprise, that he was a younger person than I thought.

Cochia's age is fourteen, and she remains slightly young on her face, and when she is surprised, it comes out strong.

"Are you Mr. Watase?

"Yeah. We're dating enough to advise you, but nice to meet you."

Holding back the hand offered, Cokia lowered her head.

Yusuke advises him to sit in the chair, and he himself sits in the chair. And Cokia sits down and then starts talking.

"It's a pleasure to meet you first, you don't need to introduce yourself because I think you know your name, do you?

"Yes."

"Mm-hmm. What shall we start with... Right. Do you have a card?

"I don't have it."

"Let's start by making a card and registering for the guild."

Take Cokia, who nods joyfully, to the counter.

Make a card there and complete the registration. That's when Kosuke found out he needed money to make a card. Yusuke had Ellis make it, so he didn't know he was going to need the money.

The money was not enough in Kokia's hands, and Yusuke put it aside as a farewell.

Cochia's status, by the way, was mediocre alongside E, E + and E-. The highest is the E + of the spirit, the lower is the sturdy E-. I can read from this information that I might be good at magic.

"Now we're part of the guild. If you follow the rules, as explained, you won't bother your guild, and it won't be weird."

"Now I can take the request... let's take something quickly"

"Well, wait."

Yusuke stops Kokia from going to the requisition corner.

I grabbed the collar behind my neck, so I raised my voice that looked painful. Look back, resentful eyes.

"Think about the future of Cochia before you take the request"

"... my upcoming?

"I was asked for advice to make Cokia stronger. To do that, I need to know about Cochia. So I'll take time for that today. Okay?"

Yusuke intended to do so from the beginning, leaving the requisition that was coming to him at home.

Cokia nodded reluctantly, looking at the requisition corner so that she was untrained.

The two move to a small training ground in the guild. Adding that there are not many users originally, there is no one in the training field because it is still morning.

"I took a step forward as an adventurer, what kind of adventurer does Cochia want to be?

"An adventurer who can take down demons cool and do awesome requests!

I guess that's what I've been thinking, answering Kosuke's question instantly.

"You're full of dreams. They say it's good to have high goals, so I think that's fine.

Hmm, you know you have a lot of fighting ability to reach that goal, and you need to be as judgmental and knowledgeable as you can be at any request you make?

Kokia as Kyoton to Yusuke's words and then thinking about it. I guess I had a vague image and the process to get there was missing.

From what Cochia is doing, Kosuke senses that he is not able to imagine a clear path.

"I'm not getting to that goal just because I'm being asked.

If you want to be an adventurer on target, you need constant daily training and a greedy absorption of knowledge.

There's about a handful of geniuses who can do amazing things without effort.

You know what I'm trying to say?

"Yeah. I mean, always try."

"Right. All you have to do is find a trusted companion. Something you can't do alone, because you can do it if you get together with two or three people.

I can't even advise you on how to make a team. 'Cause I'm not on some team, and I'm not even making it. "

I spoke with him hoping that this conversation would clarify what Cokia was imagining.

"Well, you can even keep it in the corner of your head when you have these ideas.

Then we'll have a little practice next.

Until you run out of health, attack me. I don't fight back, so you don't care about defense, you just have to think about attack. However, the sword shall continue to wave until I tell you to stop "

Instructing Kokia, who was thinking about the conversation earlier, Kosuke holds the sword in his hand with his sheath on.

Stopping to think, Cokia holds the wooden sword of her hips and swings right around.

It's a tough attack to flatter that it's sophisticated, and I can tell someone isn't mentoring me.

While under that attack, Kosuke remembers what he thinks is bad. I'll point it out later. Now I'm concentrating on knowing where and how it's wasted.

Cochia was full force from the start without thinking about pacing, so after less than five minutes the sword movement began to dull. After enough, the breath rose and the first momentum disappeared. Still, Kosuke doesn't give a signal, and Kokia waves her sword.

After more than enough, I told him to stop, under the slaughter of power just the weight of a sword without momentum.

Cokia sits on the spot and strives to recover her strength. Wait a little while to calm down before Yusuke opens his mouth.

"The first thing I want you to do is build strength.

I think I actually made a move and figured it out, but it's also hard to keep attacking if you're not physically fit. You also need strength to keep moving for a long time. I keep walking all the time when I get a request for an escort or something, and when I join the fight there, I'm exhausted. If you're short of strength and you're about to do your best in the middle of a request, you could lose your reward. Sometimes they cancel the worst requests and throw them out.

I want you to get your strength right so that doesn't happen.

Specifically, I run around the outer perimeter of town every day as long as my health lasts. If you keep running for a month, you'll definitely get more strength than you do now "

"I know strength is important, but is there any easier way to understand that you're working out to be more flashy like this?

"Swimming or something. That one's pretty tight. But it's just spring and we're going into the water, right?

And then you can try to exorcise the demons with one or eight or something? I don't know how much power you can get in a single fight, but hey. Besides, it doesn't necessarily mean you can fight the weak, and even the weak can't deal with it when you're in a herd?

"The demon exorcism is a bet? You'll get help when it's in danger, and you're sure?

"Who's going to help? Is there someone you want to go with?

"Huh? Isn't Mr. Watase coming with us?

"I'm not going. What I do to Cokia is advice. Basically, I'm not gonna do anything else, though?

Didn't you hear from Mr. Royce?

I was wondering if I could keep up with the first fight, the first request or so.

"Only that my mother found someone to train me."

"Well, working out isn't the wrong part, is it?

But I'm not making you an apprentice, so I won't take care of everything.

I should tell you something. "

Explain Yusuke's position in order to eliminate both sides' mistakes.

"I'm just an advisor. I didn't make Cokia my apprentice, so I have no authority to order Cokia.

That's why Cokia doesn't necessarily have to follow my word. If you're not convinced of what I said, you can ignore it. If you don't like me, you can leave me.

This is how we relate. "

The relationship between the two may be more accurate than that between a teacher and a student. Though it feels more like a step away than a tutor to be exact.

The former is likely to be connected for life, but the latter feels like the connection is temporary.

"Didn't you ask for an apprentice through your guild?

"I said no to that, and this advice is volunteerism, regardless of the request.

To Mr. Royce's enthusiasm, I was wondering if I could give him some advice. This is the place. "

"Nah, aren't you a disciple? nervous and lost."

My respect for Kokia to Yusuke is diminished. I thought I was in a position of disciple, so I felt nervous that I had to respect him even if I couldn't.

"So, what do we do? Accept my advice?

"I'll try that for once. I don't think I can be an adventurer yet, even if I want to be in the guild. I don't think you can deny my advice to seniors like that."

"Yes. Well, wouldn't it be in vain if Mr. Royce came to the guild?"

If Kokia had stayed away from Kosuke here, Royce's enthusiastic behavior would have been utterly wasted.

Sasuke was relieved because she felt it had paid off, although it was a little.

"My mother's overprotective, too. You're not a child who can't think of anything forever, so you don't have to look for a disciple."

"I think so, too. I guess I was worried as a parent. For parents, a child is always a child."

Kosuke also knows how Kokia feels better than how her parents feel. That's why I can't deny Royce's thoughts.

"I wonder if that's what it is"

Cokia is tilting her neck with a look that I'm not convinced of. I guess I just didn't rebel because I said so.

Cokia can't revolt meaninglessly. I know Royce raised herself so hard that Cochia can't emotionally push Royce aside. It would be best to complain with your mouth even if you were burned to take care of this and the extra.

"Then we've had enough breaks, shall we go next?"

"What's next?

"I'm going to teach you how to swing a sword. There were so many things that looked bad earlier."

The basics of Yusuke's sword are close to the Armacella stream. So the treatment of the corrected Cokia sword will also be close to it. I didn't know much about the handling of swords. For Cochia, it could be called subcurrent. That's still enough.

I'm going to make the triple action of slashing through and pointing it out so that it gets better. Repeat until one operation improves, and when it improves, proceed as follows. I also had a break and took about two hours.

"In the meantime, repeating those three operations. Application isn't too late after those three movements stain the body."

Should be, I added in my mind. Yusuke himself did not train authentically, so there is no certainty.

I am not out of touch with pointing and fixing, so repetition and mastery would be a use.

"My arm."

"Tomorrow might be worse with muscle aches. If you rub it when you're in the bath, it'll be somewhat different, won't it?

That's about it, then you can look at the material you can see in the guild and study it. "

"What am I supposed to know?

"That's right."

Kosuke remembers the requests he has received so far and picks up relevant knowledge there.

"Geography, knowledge of the demons here, knowledge of the medicinal herbs and edible plants growing in the woods and all that's left is how to take care of weapons and how to pay attention and first aid when in the wild, how to untie and set up easy traps.

I want at least this much. "

"Yeah."

Imagine the amount of information you're going to get stuffed in your head, and Cokia will look disgusted.

"Well, good luck. I almost forgot this much for today, can you use magic?

"As magical as light and wind"

"... it's useful to remember the magic of healing small wounds, the magic of firestones and the magic of putting out water, and teaching and stuff like this"

These three can be used by anyone as long as they are not as talented, and if they are, they are convenient magic.

Although it's magic you can't remember in a day when you try to control it completely, on the contrary, it's masterable in a day if it's even imperfect.

After an early lunch, I come back to the training ground to teach magic. Except for being a little stuck in therapeutic magic, I learned so much that after three o'clock, I could use all three once.

"This is the end of what I teach you now. All you have to do is practice for yourself.

If you want me to check on your progress, I'll be here at 9: 00 in the morning in ten days, but what do we do?

"So please. Can I take your request during those ten days?

"If you can decide you can do it based on your strengths, I think you can do it. Miscellaneous services would be the best way to do it. Just don't think the request to leave town is reckless."

"I'll try if I have a good one"

"If you want to do it, be polite about your client."

This is the end of the day and Yusuke leaves Kokia. I went home looking for something that was going to be the ingredient for dinner as it was.

The remaining Cochia searches for the material she seems to need, remembers the title of the book she finds, and then goes home. The next day I had a muscle ache like Yusuke said.
