Manticore fallen on the ground shows no further movement.

I knocked him down...

This will keep Anna alive.

He sighed and stroked his chest down.

The poison is not bad.

Magic is slowly breaking down the toxin and overcoming it.

I didn't think this would happen, but I'm glad this is a miscalculation.

"Li, Livel!

Anna came running towards me.

He had a smaller cube in his arms.

Cu was either tired or sleeping with his eyes closed.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?

"... I'm fine, but where's Anna?

"I'm fine!

"Don't lie. Lie. You're bleeding from your head."

"This will heal soon."

"... I see. Well, as long as it's okay."

"Yeah, but who the hell is she?

Anna's gaze turned towards the cube she was holding.

"... Cu?

A little awake, Cu cried out to reply.

"Cucumber. There are a lot of things going on, and now you're my subordinate."

"Ah, I'm sorry. I'll give it back to you now."

I took the cue from Anna and put it on my head.

"What, are you putting it on your head?

"Oh, Cucumber likes the top of his head."

"I see, yeah, yeah. Oh, Cu is a good kid. Thanks to her, I was able to fight again."

"That's good. If Anna and Cu hadn't been here, I'd have been pretty fucked up."

"I'm here to help! Rather, the last blow that Livel fired was amazing! I didn't expect to kill that monster in one blow! ─ ─ What!? Why is Livel here in the first place!?

A lot of questions have come up in Anna, and she's in a light panic.

... I know how you feel.

"I'm glad you could help me and meet Livel, but I was wondering! I'm sorry to hear so much."

"Don't apologize. The last blow was ─ ─"

I tried to say "Gono Sword", but I remembered that message.

It seems that they created original skills, but what was it?

If I improved the Gono Sword, I might have been judged to have made it up myself.

My father also said that he made up "demonization" himself, and when he acquired new technology that has never been before, it may be considered a new skill.

If you look wisely, you will hear the message "I created the original skill" when new skills are created.

It's been a while, but I'll call you back.

The last hit was Gono Sword Modification.

Even if it's an original skill, it was originally knitted because of the Gono Sword.

In that case, I thought the skill name that accompanied it would be good, and I named it "Gono Sword/Modification" on my own.

"That's a cool and powerful skill! So why is Livel here?

"God taught me. Anna's in danger."

"Heh, God is kind. Will they give us talent and care about us humans?

"I'm sure it is."

"But it was an unexpected reunion."

I see. But I need to get back to where I was. "

"... I see, yeah... that's right."

Anna looks lonely.

I felt the same way about the shame.

"... it's good to see Livel's face for the first time in a while."

"Yeah, me too."

"But I was convinced when I saw Livel today. Livel is stronger than anyone in the Academy of Excellence."

I'm glad to hear that.

I think it's a little premature to make that decision, but it's convenient if Anna thinks so.

Don't worry too much that I won't be able to enroll.

"Livel's definitely going into high school... so I'll see you again."

Anna's remarks seemed to confirm.

Everyone wants to wipe away any anxiety.

"Of course."

I felt it, and I affirmed it with confidence.

"... good. Well then, I'll try harder. I'll never lose to Livel."

"I can't beat you alone."

My goal is to be strong enough that Anna doesn't have to fight.

I can never say to myself, but the motivation for my efforts will undoubtedly be to achieve this goal.

"Yeah! Let's do it together!

I see.

"... ah, I have a favor to ask."

Hmm?

"... uhh, well... well, I won't be seeing you again for a long time... uhh..."

Anna moves her hands with her eyes down.

I didn't know what the last one was saying, so I answered back.

"Are you going to make me say it again!?

Anna is confused, but I couldn't help it because she didn't hear me.

As for me, I want to fulfill Anna's request as much as I can.

"Oh, I couldn't hear you."

"... maybe I want you to cum..."

Anna looks at me with a shy gaze.

"... yes, if you don't want to! I'm a little sweaty and dirty right now! I'm sorry I said something weird!

Anxious, Anna started to say strange things.

I reach out and grab Anna's left and right arms.

"Eh!? What, what!?

"You don't hate it."

That's how I gently hugged Anna.

Anna hugged me tight.

We hugged silently for a while.

"Are you happy with this?

"... yeah. Good luck again."

Me, too.

When I took my arm off Anna, a grain of light enveloped my body.

It's time to say goodbye.

I see. I wonder if we'll see each other in three years.

I see.

"... yeah! All right, good luck!

Anna would miss it, but she smiled so she wouldn't show her feelings.

I thought that was Anna's manifestation of determination and kindness.

Oh, good luck.

And then I was transferred, and I noticed I was in the dorm room.

"... ahh, I'm tired."

I fell to bed and fell asleep.

It seems I've been asleep for three days since I helped Anna.

Everyone was happy when I put my face on Tempest.

He was worried a lot.

And there was a change in Tempest.

Unlike before, it's crowded with people.

How about this?

Lar said confidently to me looking inside the guild.

"It's so busy."

"Yes, we need to increase the number of Alliance users first. I started a lot of business."

"Ho."

"I've opened a tool shop, a tool shop, to make it easier for adventurers to visit. Besides that, I decided to set up a tavern and a lodging to create a state of presence at all times. Tempest is a big guild for nothing. I didn't have any trouble with the place."

"I see, is that why it's so busy... hmm? You need employees and sales to open a store, right? What's wrong with that?

"I got the initial investment from around here. But there's still plenty of personal assets."

"... are you okay?

"Yes, I am confident of success."

That's right.

My anxiety seemed worrying. [M]

"Speaking of which, while Livelle was asleep, some interesting news came to the fore."

Raul gave us the piece of paper.

Apparently an article has been written.

The title was written magnificently.

[Destroy the Manticore of the S-Rank Monster, a first-year high school student]

... I see.

I don't know how Anna would explain it after I transferred, but I think she destroyed Manticore alone.

Anna's expectations would have been considerable.

"Wow. You were born in middle school at the same age as us, right? Maybe she likes Livel."

"... hahaha, maybe."

In Ral's sharp view, I had a dry smile on my face.
