Shinka no Mi

'I was born in that institution, so this is my first time outside... it's a lot busier'

"Right."

I was walking around the city with Lune.

Thus a loba called Lulne, but once we got the horse, there was nothing in particular to do after this, and we decided to take a walk around the city with Blah Blah until Salia and the others returned.

Nevertheless... what am I going to do now?

The reason I entered the guild was because I thought it would be easy to get information on the wise guys, but thank God the wise guys started attending some school.

As far as I'm concerned, I want to join the wise men first.

I forgot the name of the school, but the school that the brave people started attending, which means there will be a lot of information, and as soon as you ask people, they will gather information.

Problem would be, after that.

I wasn't summoned brave. I don't need to crusade the Demon King.

Besides, from what I've seen of the Black Dragon God's past, it doesn't seem like the devil king is a bad guy no matter how hard he tries.

Besides, what are you going to do after that, assuming the Wizards were able to crusade the Demon King?

I saw it in the [Endless Forest of Sorrow and Love], like The Diary of Abel the Brave, or Zeanos, they just use it, they kill it?

God himself, the Teng himself who sent us into this world, says that our memories are erased from the whole world.

So even if we make it back to Earth safely, there's no place for us anymore.

But this is a different world.

There may be magic to reclaim your memory, and even if that's not possible, there may be magic to reclaim your time before you lose your memory. So much so that there are magic and items that bring people back to life. I don't think it's weird that it exists.

If I could have returned to Earth with the power I had acquired in this world intact......

All of them can't. But some humans, they might remember. I guess that's just my parents.

I just want to stay in this world.

Salia and Al's, because we have two precious people.

My parents aren't here anymore, and I'm sure I didn't have any good memories on Earth, but still, in the sense of the world I was born in, I feel lonely leaving Earth.

Still, I need you to think about me, I don't want to leave you two.

With my hands, I want to protect you.

... Well, I can never tell people how embarrassed I feel about this.

Anyway, the immediate goal would be to join the wise men. After that, let's say we rendezvous and then think.

Walking with such optimism, Lune suddenly says in a pungent manner.

'... if I hadn't met the Lord, I would have been in that cage my whole life'

"No, no, no. I think it would have been easier if Lune had compromised who would have bought us more."

It was too wasteful of a brain muscle idea. What, you follow a stronger being than you? Really, Roba?

"Well more than that, I'm surprised that I had Robbie and Horse language..."

If we humans, like Lune and Horse Dragon, just can't understand animal language, and animals are in normal conversation with each other like this from time to time, the animals will each have their own language.

... So is the name 'Salia' or 'Lune' even included in the meaning? In the unique language of that race......

When I think about that, Lune says somewhere proud.

"Lord. My mother told me that my name was taken from Roba's Hero - - [Lunellion]. For the rest of my life, I've decided on just one Lord, and I run only for that one Roba… I've always wanted to be there, too '

"You can't follow me anymore!

Oh, my God, what a Roba hero! Besides, I knew the name meant something!

My mental strength keeps shredding when I say we're only having a little conversation.

Is this the one who's scratchy tired......

I'm exhausted from a lot of things, but if there's a hero that other animals can tell you about, like Lune says there's a Roba hero, I thought I'd like to talk to you for a second.

Walking around thinking about something very irrelevant, I was hungry for a good smell drifting from the outdoor shop, seen all over the city.

"Mm-hmm... you're hungry. Lune, you want something to eat, too?

"Can you buy it for me too!? I'm a loba!?"

"It's too soon!

You've been acting like a mess, but suddenly I have trouble being claimed to be a mess.

Well, putting that aside, I feel guilty eating it in front of Lune's eyes.

I bought two [bombs] that were sold at a nearby dewstore and headed to give them to Lune.

Why did you buy this food? I was very attracted to the name. What's with the bomb? Too much noise made me interested the other way around.

Besides, I noticed after I bought it, is Roba a herbivore?

Well...... you'll be fine!

I'm having trouble thinking about it, and I'm gonna give Lune the bomb as it is.

"Lord. What the hell is this?

"Bombs seem to be the food of the name. I've never eaten either, but people were surprisingly lined up, aren't they popular?

With that said, I'll take one of the bombs.

The bomb was an easy-to-eat bite size with bright white manju like food with no weirdness whatsoever.

I hesitate for a moment, but never throw a bomb into my mouth with my will.... This, in letters, is a terrible guy.

"Mmmm!?"

At that moment, in my mouth, the bomb exploded.

But the explosion is never dangerous.

Out of the bomb came voluptuous meat and then overflowing gravy.

And I don't know what the stock was, but besides gravy, something like a thick soup filled my mouth.

The more you chew, the more gravy and stock mixed juice stains the meat, and the more and more the meat expands in your mouth.

This must be using some kind of demonic meat that doesn't exist on Earth. Because I don't know meat that swells every time I bite it and entangle meat and juice.

How did you fit so much juice that it was about to spill out of your mouth in that bite-sized mandarin? That, too, without staining the juice outside.

Well, if you figure that out, you're not gonna be in business.

With this in mind, the meat that was swelling loosened as it intertwined with the juice and softened. And swallow it as it is.

"Uh, it was delicious"

I was satisfied when I finished eating.

Wonder and feel better after eating something delicious.

With that in mind, I was wondering how Lune was, and I look at Lune.

"Lurne. How about -"

"Ah, Lord! It's amazing! The pasture I've been eating is so delicious that it really seems like weed!

"Oh well."

Lune apparently liked this bomb.

Is that okay with Roba...?

"If you like it so much, shall I buy you some more?

"Ho, is that true!? Then please!

This is how I went to buy another bomb for Lune.

... I knew it would be a very noisy sentence when I think about it as a letter.

◆ ◇ ◆

"Lord! Now that, let's eat that one!

"Mr. Lurne?

'Oh, but I don't want to throw away that food either...'

"Hey, Mr. Lune or what?

'Lord, what can I do!?'

"Yeah, let's hear me first!

It seems that since Lune ate the bomb, she's totally fascinated with human food, and this is how we've been racing through the dewstores around the city since just now.

I don't think I want food because my stomach is swollen, but I think Lune is getting more, rather than less appetite.

Besides, the people around me look at me in surprise because I'm stuck in Lulne, the robot. Well, I'm pretty sure a person who talks to Roba is nothing but a freak if you look around.

Lurne's appetite is amazing, and he can see it with weird eyes from around him... luck with my status, where did he drop it?

It was when I was walking with that in mind.

"Hmm? Is that..."

Two, I see a set of men and women in my sight. If you look closely, there was also a group of wild horse-like humans around.

I don't remember the guy, but if he's a girl, I remember him clarity.

"That's the girl I bought the painting from, right?

Yes, I was the one who bought the painting of this city, the girl.

... I feel like we've seen each other, you look like you're saying something.

"Lurne, do you have a minute?

'Oh, the food called that bomb was delicious, but also the dessert called this crepe...'

No, he can't. Let's leave it.

Leaving Lune to start tripping in the middle of the road, she went straight to the girl. People on the road look at Lune weird, but I'm irrelevant.

As I approach the girls, I hear what the conversation is about.

"An artist has to be something more original and beyond the imagination of many ordinary people! In that regard, your paintings have no brilliance, they are all common and boring!

"Wow, I'm just painting freely! I don't have the guts to tell you this!

"What a waste! With that painting power, I would be able to paint a better picture!?"

"... uh, do you want to fool around with my paintings? You want a compliment?

"I don't know!

"... yeah..."

... are you doing comic talent? At first I thought you were making some kind of argument...

That's what I think of the conversation between you two.

The people around us all left feeling relieved that they didn't think it was going to be a quarrel.... You were all worried.

A girl noticed me when she came a long way and I was confused about the exchange between the two of them.

"Oh, you are!

"Hmm? Are you..."

The guy, too, with the girl noticing me, he's turning his gaze toward me.

If you look closely, the man's outfit was luxurious in vain, handsome, with slightly creased brown hair and corked brown eyes. At my age, maybe a little younger than me.

With that analysis, a girl runs up to me.

"Thank you very much then! It was when I couldn't sell at all and was thinking about stopping selling anymore, so it was really inspiring when you bought it!

"I don't mean to have done such a big deal... but it was a really good painting. This way, thank you."

In my life, I have less chance of being able to circle with an inspiring painting, so I guess, in that sense, my luck with status is really high.

When you're having such a conversation with a girl, a man opens his mouth.

"... I was listening to your conversation, but did you buy her paintings?

"Huh? Oh. It was a good painting."

"So, did you buy my painting?

"No, you didn't."

When I answer that, the man opens his eyes.

"Then, stupid!? You said you didn't buy this painting of mine!?"

"No, even if you're so surprised... I don't know you in the first place..."

To answer that honestly, the man laughed furiously and raised his hair. Because he's handsome, he's like.

"I'm also surprised you don't know me... but this is also on the edge of something, let me introduce myself. My name is Clay Berger. Make him the eldest son of the Marquis of Berger, the petitioner of art! I hope you find out."

"My name is May Cherry. Uh... thank you so much for buying my painting!

Clay, who introduces herself while posing as a strange decision, and May, who politely bows her head, contrasted in many ways.

To May, when I lowered my head, my dog ears were moving flaccid and adorable.

"I'm Makoto. Well, I bought that May painting over there, but I don't know Clay's painting. Sorry."

"Hmm... from the name, sounds like you're from the eastern country, right?

There's another country in the east. Well, it's good because it's convenient.

"Well, that's the place."

When he appropriately replied so, Clay nodded one thing.

"Fine... Makichi, I'll give you one of my paintings specifically!

"Oh, no, I don't want anything..."

"Now, don't hesitate to take it!

Ignoring my words and other cancer, Clay forcefully gives me a single picture.

When I had no choice but to receive the painting, I was stunned by what was painted there.

... what is this. I have a strange sense of ready-to-see...

"For once I ask... this, what?

The painting Clay gave me was just a triangle painted big on a big campus.

It has no color or anything on it, it's just a triangle.

May is peeking into my painting and pulling my cheeks.

"Look, don't you see? This is a painting of" A Maiden in the Sunset, Staring at the Sunset on the Beach, Thinking of Him "!

"Doesn't look like it!?"

It's just a triangle, no matter how you look at it!? I'm still more convinced you painted Oden's hammering!?

Besides, I think it's kind of a painting I've seen... when I bought May's painting, it's pretty much the same as the painting I was selling in the square! Even then, I didn't know what was being drawn!?

"I'm losing a painting like this..."

Mae next door is getting hit by brutal reality......!

As such, well, May's paintings are certainly good, and I'm impressed, but when it comes to commonplace, they're also commonplace...

Clay asks abruptly if he heard Mae whining.

"May, how long have you been painting?

"Huh? Uh... about a year"

If it's that drawing power in a year, I think I'm amazing enough.

But after May's words, Clay started laughing high.

"Ha ha! Then you can't help losing to me! You are an amateur. Sure, your painting talent has something to keep an eye on. But I'm a genius beyond that!

"Well, how long has Clay been painting?

"Three months!

"You're more of a de amateur!

But it sure is awesome! You can paint a picture that sells in three months, right? I hate to admit it but it's genius......!

With that in mind, Clay frowns whether my scratch was unsatisfactory.

"Makichi... there are many words that make fun of me earlier... can you paint?

"Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure you can draw a picture like Clay's."

I know that paintings I know, painted by famous people, that I can draw as I see them, aren't like amateurs can draw first.

But only Clay's paintings don't make me feel like I can.

Then Clay suddenly gave me a piece of paper and a brush.

"If that's all you have to say, let me see your painting! Come on, draw it!

"Yep..."

Though I find it a pain in the ass, it does just get on the tip of my mouth as it is, so I have no choice but to receive paper and brush and paint.

Well, even when it comes to painting, I just changed Clay's painting a little bit and drew a square.

"Look, we got it."

Clay, who received the painting from me, sees the painting with a serious look. Behind that, May also peeked in and watched, but turned into a bitter laugh, making sure that what was depicted was square.

But only Clay seemed different.

"Ya 'll do it..."

"You're lying!?"

I think so myself, but I think this is terrible!? 'Cause it's a square, huh? It doesn't come in color or anything! On the contrary, I didn't draw the line by the rules, so the line is Gdagda too!?

"Makichi... won't you be my apprentice?

"Yamelo! Don't scrape my HP any more!

I don't think a properly drawn painting would be appreciated so far! That's why you're embarrassed!

Clay coughs one when she is accidentally covering her blushing face with her hands.

"Cohon. Sounds like you're just appreciating my paintings. I regret it, but you seem to have talent, too."

"... no more..."

"Still! I'm the one who wins the next [Carasty Painting Competition]! May, Makichi. You guys are amazing, but I'm still the genius!

"Carasti......"

"Painting competition?

May doesn't know that word that came out of Clay's words either, and he was twisting his neck with me.

Then Clay looks at us like that, surprised.

"Oh, you don't know? There's going to be a race in this King's Capital, [King's Capital Cup] next time, right? It will be followed by the biggest painting competition in the Kingdom of Wimbledon. It will be held in the Kingdom of Wimbledon, but if you win, the more your name sells to the rest of the world as a painter, the more powerful it is. From all over the world, genius painters are gathered just to take part in this tournament. If you're a painter, you can do it once. I'd like to try it, it's a dream stage."

"I see..."

"Makichi may be irrelevant because she doesn't seem to be a painter... May, aren't you in?

"... such an amazing competition, I don't think I can participate..."

"You don't have to worry about your background. There are no special conditions for participation. It's a tournament that anyone can participate in if they really have the strength."

I guess so. That's about as amateur Clay is trying to join us as May.

Convinced and nodding, Clay asks me.

"This is my guess, isn't Makichi going to compete in the Wang Du Cup, before the Carasty Painting Competition I'm in? I know that's a shame, but you're an adventurer, aren't you?

"Uh... I'm certainly an adventurer, but I wonder if you plan on joining that King's Capital Cup"

When I answered that, Clay gave me an unexpected look.

"Really? The winning prize is luxurious every year, and even second and third place, if you're an adventurer, you'll get the kind of weapons and items everyone wants, so I thought it would be a great way to participate."

"Heh... but I don't think you want a weapon at the moment"

"Well... if you say so... you already disclosed the contents of the prize from 10th to 5th place. You know what?

"No, you don't."

"I don't know either"

Clay nods and tells me one thing when he tells me that Mae and I honestly don't know. So is Mr. Adriana, but Clay's a kind guy too, isn't he? There was an image of nobility that seemed to look down on others unconditionally.

"From 10th to 6th place, that's what makes the adventurer a must-have quality healing pill, as well as some health, magic, and scratches that are difficult to get, if you want to buy it, that's what makes it a huge amount of money... What a fantasy giant fish the 5th prize... [Bahamut] they get"

"Buh!?"

If so, Bahamut!? I don't know the details, is that so easy to get as a prize!?

A monster so famous that its name even exists on Earth!? Could it be that the Bahamut of Earth and the Bahamut of this world are different things?

No, I did say Clay is a phantom giant fish... because what prize is more than 4th!? I don't think you want it, but you wonder what the winning prize is!

Besides, the [Immortal Medicine] that you get for 6th place and so on is also good enough!?

It was just me who insulted me as a horse race, but I'm surprised at the level of prizes I get.

Then May, who was equally surprised, hit Clay with doubts.

"Uh... how did you get that Bahamut? As far as I know, even A-rank adventurers were said to be dangerous demons..."

"I don't know much about it, but when the king of this country went to talk to another country, he discovered that he happened to be swimming in a huge lake he stopped by, and one of the two proud knights of this country, the Knight of Swords (Night of Swords): Luiz, was crusaded. It's also in an instant."

"I don't know what it is, but it's awesome."

Gustle also said that the two great knights in this country and they seem to be fairly cheesy. Me? I'm a monster by the name of man. I cry, but I don't care.

"Well, anyway, you get that bahamut."

"No, even if you get that, you're in trouble, right?

What are you gonna do with a giant fish? Do you keep it?

Clay said a different answer than I imagined.

"What are you talking about? Eat it."

"Oh, eat it!

I didn't have that idea......!

If it's a name, I know it. I didn't have the option of eating it. That's about as much as I thought it would be more natural to keep it if that's all the amazing demons. Like an ornamental fish arowana.... can you eat that too?

He cares about me like that, and Clay tells me to close his eyes and remember something.

"I've only had Bahamut once... it tasted like it reached the realm of art. Honestly, I've never eaten a fish better than that."

Heh... Clay, a nobleman, says, so it must be pretty tasty. Nobility usually eats a lot of delicious food. Maybe I'd like to try some.

That was the moment I thought so.

'Lord, let's eat! Bahamut!'

"Whoa!? When!?"

Lurne, who was supposed to have left it until now, turned behind me without realizing it, and that's what was stuffing me.

"Hmm? Makichi, what about that loba?

"Huh? Ah, oh. His name is Lune. I just bought it today, but are you one of those people I'm going to be traveling with?

"Heh! Is that Lune? For what it's called Roba, you have a very rough face!

May, the beast man, seems interested in Lune and strokes him close.

At first I was worried they'd kick me like Balzas at the demon dealership, but apparently the women are fine.

I don't care about that, but I'm curious about what Lune said earlier, and I ask Clay and Mae in a whisper so they can't strangle me.

"Lurne. Did I tell you I want Bahamut?

'Yes! If it's such a delicious ingredient, you won't have to eat it!

"No, I think I'd like some too..."

'Besides, isn't this my first joint work with the Lord! I think that's the right thing to do, don't you?

"Yeah, what's the difference between working together?

While such a scratch, it's also true that I was interested in the taste of Bahamut, too, so I thought I'd join you for a moment.

"Clay. I'm wondering what that bahamut tastes like, and I'm going to join it"

"Really? I don't know, maybe we should hurry up with the registration, then? If you go to the demon dealership that bought the loba, you'll be able to register, but I think the registration deadline was today."

"Really? Then hurry back to register..."

"However, I don't think it's easy to get fifth place if you're a loba..."

That's what Clay says in a bitter laugh.

But contrary to that, Lune said confidently in a language that only I could understand.

"Hung! That's what I can say because this man doesn't know what I'm capable of. Rest assured, Lord! I'm confident in this Lurne, my legs. Never take a fall back on other walrus horses!

"In the meantime, it's not a Roba line."

"Well Seiichi did not participate in the painting competition and found out she would participate in the Wang Du Cup. So? May. What are you gonna do?

Asked by Clay, May says he doesn't seem confident.

"Even if I join something, the results are visible. Mr. Clay, unlike me, must be a genius, so maybe he can win..."

"I don't deny that I'm a genius, but I think you underestimate yourself. Plus, there are recklessly trying to challenge the King's Capital Cup in Lova. Wouldn't it make sense to join us?

"Hey, Cora."

What's reckless, reckless? It's a courageous challenge. Don't get me wrong there.

May's expression is dark, even with words that can also be taken as Clay's encouragement.

"Still..."

Well, you do sell paintings in the square, and you lose confidence if you can't sell all that.

If you like it and you draw it, but you sell it and nobody buys it, it's the same thing that isn't appreciated.

Looking down May, Clay sighed.

"Well, if you don't want to participate, I think that's one choice. That's all my rivals are down. Well, I'm the one who wins!

Where does that confidence of yours come from? You paint on the same level as me.

I say to May, leaning down, as Clay speaks.

"I don't know what May thinks of his painting, but I like it. That's why I bought it, and I think they could appreciate it more. So if you have such an amazing opportunity, isn't it one hand to try?

"... I know that..."

"I knew you weren't confident..."

To my inquiry, May nods small.

I thought about it when I bought the painting, but you're not a self-proclaimed or mindless looking girl. That's character, so if you say you have no choice, I guess you have no choice.

I just really like May's paintings. As far as I'm concerned, I want you to have confidence in yourself.

What can I do......

Troubled with the way I make Mae feel confident, I come up with a plan.

"That's right! Clay, how long will you be registering for that Carasty Painting Games?

"Hmm? About a week after the Wang Du Cup ended. You can paint what you've been painting, or you can paint a new one. One month after the registration period, the tournament begins."

"Then you'll be fine. May, I'll definitely get the bahamut I'm looking for in the King's Cup."

"Huh?"

"Clay also said earlier that it would be impossible to say clarity and win the 5th place prize in Roba or something. Suppose you could have won fifth place in that situation, don't you think that would be awesome?

"That's amazing."

"That's why I'll definitely win the fifth prize. That would give Mae confidence, wouldn't it?

"Ah..."

May is just not sure she can paint a picture that was originally complete.

So if I did something that I don't think is possible, I'd be confident that Mae would do it? I thought it was a suggestion.

I was hoping I could push May's back a little bit. I want you to have confidence in yourself, just for a second.

That's what he thinks, Clay chuckles.

"That's funny. May, I want to see your painting at the tournament, too. The paintings you ask for, painted freely. Prove to me that your paintings are never boring!

"Mr. Clay......"

I don't know, but Clay kind of admits Mae's painting. Clay's paintings are too original to keep up though.

Clay or May, pushed on the back by my words, had his face down for a while, but eventually gave him a determined look.

"... ok. I don't know how far I can go...... I'll try too!

"Right! That's my recognized painter!

'Lord, I'm not sure, but definitely get Bahamut!

Clay and May were able to kick each other up as painters, and Lune had the goal of obtaining the unknown delicious fish, Bahamut.

After this, both Clay and May, should paint for the tournament, each dropped off their return, me and Lune also went back to the demon dealership to register for the Wang Du Cup.

At that time, it would be another story for the angry Lune to kick Barzas, who had a surprised look on his face and then laughed that he couldn't win the fifth place prize at Lune.

And the fact that the Wang Du Cup was a sudden development tomorrow is trivial...

... Will I win the prize safely? And it was me who got anxious as soon as I could.
