About two weeks have passed since I started training with Mr. Liberty.

"Come on, it's still slowing down!

"Nh...! You bastard."

I've managed to control Mr. Liberal's magical attack.

Nevertheless, I've only begun to embarrass myself.

I was surprised by the amount of trouble left, such as flames, ice bullets, thunder arrows, and muddy stalling.

(There's no room to attack...)

I was able to get close several times, but in the first place, the status was higher for Mr. Liberty.

Even body surgery is quickly assembled, making it game-over.

Man.

My love!

Momo and Sola intercept from the ground and air.

Shadows come from the ground and braces come from the sky.

"Waste, waste, waste!

However, Mr. Liberty plays the shadow of the monkey with a voice like that of Sta 'de and offsets Sola's bracelet.

Well, that's good, that was an attack.

After sewing the instant defense, Ichinose-san snipes from a long distance, but what kind of reflex nerve does it hit?

This is crazy, why are you avoiding it?

'Cause I'm faster than a bullet.

"Nh!?"

I didn't notice Mr. Liberty sneaking behind me in an instant.

Well, I don't want you to read your thoughts naturally.

"Yes, it's over."

"Haha....."

I'm stunned by a stick to my head.

"You've earned experience points"

The cuckoo's LV has risen from 26 to 27.

"Proficiency reached a certain level"

Skill prediction has increased from LV8 to LV9.

Shortly before that, an announcement was made to level up in my head.

--When I woke up, it was the usual ceiling.

"Ah, good morning, Kudo."

"... good morning, Ichinose-san"

When he woke up, Mr. Ichinose was reading a comic book in the corner of the room.

The hero with the engine fights the devil.

"How long have I been out?

About an hour.

An hour...

I fell asleep for about half a day in the first place, so it got pretty short.

It took less time to recover.

"Anyway, you're really just fighting Mr. Liberal to get up to the level."

Yeah, I'm surprised.

I was really surprised at how this works.

We had always thought that experience for level-ups could only be gained by killing monsters, but apparently it was strictly different.

The only way to gain experience is to defeat monsters.

"Just" to fight monsters seems to be enough.

"But if you remember me well, I've always wanted to."

"That's right...."

If you think about it, the same thing has happened to me when I fought monsters.

Even in the Titan and Peony battles, all the people who were in the battle had experience points, and the level was rising.

I didn't think deeply because I thought maybe the experience points of the monsters I had defeated were only assigned to the participants, but it seems that the mechanism to get experience points is more complicated than I thought.

"Whatever it is, I can level it up without fighting monsters, so I'll never go any further."

Yes, sir.

Ichinose smiled and hit him with a gavel and began reading the comics again.

Oh, Volume 9.... I'll lend it to you later.

Whatever it is, this situation, where we can safely level up, is something we wish and wish for.

(Nevertheless, this is only a way to be established because Liberal is the opponent -)

You can gain experience just by fighting.

But that experience is much less efficient than when you defeat a monster.

"Killing one goblin is more experiential than fighting a hundred goblins," said Liberal.

That's why it's possible because Liberal is so much better now than we are.

(Mr. Liberal said, "Minimum." Probably not going to keep this going for six months)

If our level is overwhelming, we should move on to the next training.

Even now, I'm stunned every time.

I can't stop shaking about what kind of training is waiting for me.

Speaking of which, what about Nishino and Sasaka-san?

"Um, Nishino-kun passed out, so you've already gone up. Li is still training with Mr. Liberty."

"You're tough, Sasaka-san...."

"It's a mistake. Recently, Li's level has risen tremendously. She said she was going to be LV10 soon."

"That's amazing..."

No, seriously, it's amazing.

If you suck, you may lose momentum by six months.

I've been most motivated to train since I got used to Mr. Liberty's intimidation.

"I just complained that every time I finished training, my clothes were worn out."

"Ah... sure..."

Rokubana-chan's battle is a proximity type of gorilla.

It is also a combat style that strengthens flesh and weapons and even pushes off enemies with the unique skill of the Demon Man "Blood Dressing".

Even with Mr. Liber's magic, the enhanced shield can play if it holds power, but after that, the clothes generally bounce and fly.

(Mr. Libel said that if the level of "Blood Dressing" rises, the oral cavity will be strengthened.....)

Conversely, until then, I can play clothes every time.

Rokubana-chan didn't care at all, but I want you to be me and Nishino-kun.

'Cause you're shaking. That's amazing.

Honestly, it's very stimulating. Thank you very much.

"Mmm...."

"... what, Ichinose-san?

"I think Mr. Kudo was thinking a lot of things right now. Is Li's boobs so attractive?

Come, it's my fault.

I was a keen Ichinose.

"Ah, well, I'm going to take a shower. Bye."

"Ah... ma..."

I'll leave the room to escape.

I'm sorry, Ichinose-san. There's nothing I can do about it.

When I took the bath towel out of the item box and headed to the bathroom, I already had a visitor.

Ah, Kudo, good work.

"Nishino-kun...."

Nishino looks at us while wiping his head with a bath towel. [M] Others.

"Sorry, I got it earlier."

"Ah, that's fine."

Nishino goes out the hall by my side. [M]

Nishino-kun's level has risen considerably.

It was definitely LV29 now.

He will probably be able to 'evolve' with tomorrow's training.

"Ah, the laundry is almost finished, so can you keep it dry?

"Ah, I understand."

At present, this is a shared house where I, Nishino-kun, Rokubana-chan, and Ichinose-san live together, but Nishino-kun basically takes the lead in cooking and washing.

At first, I proposed to take turns, but Nishino didn't give up.

(... good workmanship and delicious food...)

If you have housework skills, Nishino must be cheating on everything. [M]

He will surely make a good wife.

I don't think that's a bad idea.

After I took a shower, I washed the toad thoroughly for a long time.

Momo hates taking a bath, so she's always in a very bad mood only at this time.

Strike in the shadows. Though I was prepared for a thorough resistance, I succeeded in dragging the dog food and toys out of the shadows, and I washed the horses completely.

"... ufufu"

After drying, it was so cute that the body was rolled up and upset.

"Ah, speaking of which, today is the day to receive Aka's body from the King of the Sea....."

Aka is currently in the process of transferring power from the King of the Sea.

Aka pours a little of the power of the Sea King into her body and repeats the cycle of absorbing it and getting used to it.

It looks almost unchanged, but Aka's status is growing steadily.

Momo, please.

Man.

Using Momo's "Shadow Crossing," we headed for the coast.

--When I got to the coast, there was already a king of the sea.

The wind and the waves roll the beach, but it doesn't seem to be the corner of the Six Kings, which is called the most powerful monster.

It's amazing that you can destroy our town in an instant...

Oh, are you here?

The king of the sea jumped to our feet like a rock.

"Sorry I'm late."

Isn't it on time? I don't need an apology. "

The shaking king king of the sea. Very tolerant.

No matter how soon my company's boss comes, the sooner he gets here than himself, the better he can preach without asking questions.

When the king of the sea trembled, he puked out his body.

For this time. I've given her more power than before, but she'll soon be able to get used to it again. "

"... Aka"

"... (sifting)"

Aka shook her body with joy as she absorbed it.

This will make Aka stronger again.

"... by the way, the story changes, but has he grown quite a bit?

"Ah, is that her? In the meantime, I've had some conversations with Aiba and the party members."

"... is it still at that stage? Absolutely, oh no..."

Instead of sighing, the king of the sea trembles.

A slime jellyfish, commonly known as a red jellyfish, belongs to the King of the Sea.

Communications from the King of the Sea are basically made through red jellyfish.

But apart from that, the Red Jellyfish are told by the King of the Sea to spread the word.

Well, Aiba praised it as a key part of the party's defense, and he didn't seem to have much to do with it.

The red jellyfish are at Aiba's party and are currently in the process of raising their level with them.

The reputation of members other than Aiba, especially Mr. Goshogawara (daughter) and Mr. Goshogawara (wife), is quite good. Even though it's like a mascot, the defensive side is perfect, so I can't stand the gap again.

Well, that's fine... how about the libel? Anything unusual?

"No, Libel is particularly... Well, as usual."

I see... I'll keep asking.

"Yes, of course."

Then the king of the sea went back to the sea again, having an unparalleled chat.

"Well, shall we go back?"

Man.

"... (sifting) ♪"

Momo spreads the shadow, but I wait.

"It's really nice weather, why don't you walk a little? Let's take a long walk, Momo."

"Whoa! Whoa! I'm sorry."

Momo nodded cheerfully at my proposal. [M]

Run around the beach cheerfully, and I'll follow.

Well, there's still time, and I'm sure it'll be all right.

"Hah, what a lovely day...."

Recently, there have been relatively calm days like this.

It is a preparation period for the battle against the Gentiles five months from now, but I still think it is dozens of times better than every day like hell.

--I wish I could keep doing this forever...

We can all work hard to build a foundation for life.

That's why you don't have to start a fight...

That's how I feel.

"─ ─"

Perhaps it was useless to immerse yourself in such feelings.

There was a response to the search. It's a sign of a monster.

(Strong... that's pretty good too)

Such a big sign has been around for a long time.

And this sign is coming straight at us.

"Are you going to fight us...?

"Man, I'm sorry."

"... (sifting)!

Momo and Aka are already motivated.

All right, Momo, Aka- let's hunt.

Man.

"... (sifting)!

Ichinose-san, Kiki, Sola and Shiro are not here, but there is no problem.

With this sign, we can fight enough alone.

"Coming!

The signs are approaching, and they'll show up before us.

And then...

"Eh...?

We stopped moving.

There was a monster of black ants.

It looked close to the Queen Ant (Queen Ant), who had fought in City Hall before, but considerably smaller in size. Just like humans.

But the signs are far greater.

Top Queen Ant species? Or a mutant species like High Oak?

But what worries me more than that is his condition.

"Giggle... giggle..."

Full of wounds.

It was already in a run-down state.

There were cracks all over the crust, arms bent in strange directions, and there were wounds all over the body.

"... gii..."

The black ants stare at us.

And the next moment, he did something amazing.

"... gii..."

He bent his knees and put his hands out.

It was like a surrender pose.

"Ha...?

"Hmm?

Of course, me and Momo were willing to fight.

But the next moment, I heard something sticking in my head.

"Nh...! What is it?"

I remember this feeling.

Sure, when I met Sola.

The feeling of Sola connecting her thoughts to have a conversation with us.

Could this be...

─ Kuda ─ ─......

A voice resounded in my head.

Is this... a black ant in front of you?

Does he have a story for you?

Looking at the black ants, he looked up at us begging.

Owner of "Wishing Ishmael," "Premature" Yo... I will save you..... "
