Shi ni Modori, Subete wo Sukuu Tame ni Saikyou He to Itaru

"Olah!"

Crist waves his sword along with a loud call.

The demon in front of me - rips the body of an oak.

A man-shaped demon with a pig's head. He is over two meters long and has a strong force and a large stick.

But there's no speed, and me and Crist are speed focused swords, so I can kill them pretty easily.

One last one approached me from behind and shook me down to slap the stick, but I gently avoided it and pulled the sword out without turning around, dropping its head.

"Good day, Cristo"

"Oh, you too, Eric."

We looked at each other and had a high touch.

This demon was the subject of today's request.

A normal adventurer is a tough opponent, but if we train, we're not the ones to lose if we fight without alarm.

"All right, then you're done with the request. Time to go home."

"Well, not if the prince stays out long enough."

"That's right, it's hard."

I really want to defeat some more strong demons, and I want to fight more demons, but the title Prince of Cristo interrupts that.

It's time for the sun to set, so many knights will come looking for Cristo if we don't make it home around this time.

"But I knew Eric was strong. He just beat Riverto."

"Thanks."

I learned all my swords from you, Crist.

Back in my last life, when I was friends with you, I wasn't strong at all.

To the point of losing parents and Tina by running off to some junior demons such as Goblin.

When I heard you could use swords and magic, I immediately begged to teach.

Because I just didn't want to be protected anymore.

Now I wonder, can you use both swords and magic because you are royal?

Usually it seems one way or the other, I was blessed with a teacher. Well, when I was learning, I could barely use magic.

I couldn't use it, but I got the knowledge, so it was easy to deal with it when fighting a magical opponent.

Besides, I could teach Tina in this world.

"Who did you learn the sword from, Eric?

"... self-taught."

I can't tell you what you taught me.

"Is that true!? Wow, you've gotten so strong by yourself."

"Well, that's awesome."

I'm just going to have to push through self-study.

Me, I'm not that genius...

"What about the knife extraction? Is that self-study, too?

"Yes..."

"Heh, really? It was similar to the Libert one I saw before..."

Liberto? Lieutenant, is that that gelo guy?

Knife extraction, well, now that I have a sword, it's sword extraction, but the truth is this is something I learned from Crist as well.

If you look like a deputy commander, maybe that means Crist referenced the deputy commander when he taught me.

Hmm? Or the deputy commander's knife extraction... that guy couldn't do it because he didn't have one arm.

It's a knife extraction technique, a technique that unleashes the knife placed on the sheath and takes a blow.

If I was right-handed to do that, I'd have to keep my sheath down with my left hand.

The deputy captain doesn't have a left arm, so he can't.

"Oh, I saw it when he still had his left arm"

You figured out what I was thinking, Christo explained it to me.

"That guy's knife extraction was so fast. Regardless of me or the normal knight, even the captain, Yelle, said he couldn't see his knife extraction."

"Not so..."

"If you think you've heard the sound of pulling a knife out, you've already killed the demon."

That's already over the speed of sound, right? What a speed.

"I've imitated it before too... but if you're not used to that, you can cut your hands off. Normally, I get Dovadoba blood from my hands."

"Oh, I've done it before, too."

Not once in this world, but many times in previous life.

I keep my sheath in check with my left hand, so if I miss the angle when I pull out my sword, I would normally slit my palm.

"It was too hard for me, and it's usually faster to pull out a sword and then slash it. So are you, Riverto. You guys are weird."

"That's a terrible word."

But I don't think you can do a knife extraction over sound.

That means the Vice Commander's technology is out of digits.

But...

"All right, let's go home, Eric."

"Hmm? Yeah, you do"

That's what Crist says and walks out in the direction of the city. I'll follow along with a good look if there's any danger around me as an escort too.

- Why is such a strong man losing one arm?

Keep that question out of your mouth.

Head to the Alliance about the city.

The knights at the gate confirmed that Crist had returned safely, so it would no longer mean that the knights would come looking for him worried anymore.

Report on the achievement of the request for the Alliance.

This time it was a crusade request, so you just need to have the material for that subject as many as you've been asked.

Bring the nose part of the oak in a bag and give it to the person in charge.

Then ask them to check the material and get paid to accomplish the request. This time it was a strong demon there, so I got enough money to spend the week without having to work.

"Yes, Eric. Today's Rewards"

"What? What do you mean?

Cristo gave me a bag with money in it. Like it's all my share.

"What, you haven't heard? My reward as an escort is to get paid by this guild."

"Oh, really?"

"Well, they're going to get more money a month, but I don't know that much either."

Apparently the salaries of knights in the Kingdom of Begonia are pretty good. I haven't got it yet, but that's what my old man said. Oh, I mean, I don't know your old man's name yet.

In addition to that, can you escort the prince? I don't have a particular appetite from my previous life, so I have trouble using it.

"Don't you get any cristo?

"Hmm? Yeah, I don't have to get this kind of money. I can get as much as I want if I tell my mother."

I'm gonna say it like a nigga laughing dislike, Crist.

Normally, it's a disgusting word, but it's been conveyed to me as a slightly different meaning.

That means I have no money to spend freely.

Again, even when it comes to royalty, it would be a little cramped that you can't spend money when you want to.

I can't get paid if I don't tell my parents one thing at a time because I probably have to tell them why, so I can't use it at all.

Well, from what I just said, how did I know so much about my experience in the past life, because this guy said so?

"... All right, Crist! Let's go get a drink with this money."

"Huh? What are you talking about?

It is true that drinking is possible in this country from the age of sixteen. I'm old enough to drink critically.

"Fine, it's my money, so I don't care what you spend it on"

"No, that's good, but we need to get back soon, right?

Well, if I don't get back soon when I'm done with the request, I might get worried and make a little noise.

"You'll be fine for an hour or so."

"Um, no, I think it's a little bad,"

I thought it might be a long time.

"What is it, Cristo? Are you afraid they'll piss you off?

"Ah? That's not what I'm saying."

"Well, maybe a little bit."

I know I can't really. If Crist doesn't get home early, the knights will come looking for him and annoy him.

But maybe a little bit.

- I want to go out for a drink to celebrate my reunion with my best friend who died in my previous life.

"Hmm? Oh, isn't that Eric?"

I was talking outside the guild, and I heard you calling about me.

Turning to you, the old man was approaching.

"Are you home from work, too?

"Uh, well, yeah. And your old man?

"Oh, shifting guard duties for the guild, and now I'm going home to the dorm"

Oh, yeah, I got a good idea.

"Old man, we're going for a drink, so tell Mr. Yelle that!

"Huh?"

That's what I say to the old man, grabbing Crist's arm next door and running out.

"Hey, are you sure you want to go!?

"You bet!

"What, Prince Christopher!?

The old man is as surprised as he just noticed. Well, at first glance, you're a normal adventurer.

"Then that's what I'm talking about! I got this!

"Hey, Eric! Wait!"

I can hear the old man calling out in the distance, but he runs through the city without loosening his legs.

I can't hear the old man anymore, and I come to the point where the drinkers line up and stop my legs.

"You won't come looking for me with this. Well, you might get mad when you get home."

"Ha... you're a pretty bad one"

That's what I'm going to say with a sigh, Crist.

But the face laughs in disgust but with pleasure.

"We're friends, have you regretted it?

"No way. Eric, you're the best!

Crist coming shoulder to shoulder to shoulder to jump. Losing my posture, I laugh and shoulder too.

"I can't help it! I'm gonna hang out with you, Eric!

"That's how it goes, Crist!

That's how we entered the drinker and drank.

Celebrate being friends for the first time for Christ.

For me - celebrate being able to drink like this again with a friend I haven't seen in a long time.
