The World’s Strongest Martial Artist who has Worked too Hard, Survives in the Magic World With Ease

morning of the second day of extended vacation.

I was carrying a big backpack and headed to the school gate.

I'm supposed to visit Mr. Fermina's home today.

Arriving in front of the school gate at the rendezvous point, Mr. Noir appeared there.

"Whoa, that's fast, Mr. Noir!

Even though we still have half an hour to meet, Mr. Noir drowned and came early.

When I was impressed by that attitude, Mr. Noir turned his eyes to me.

"... maybe you haven't slept?

Yesterday we hosted a Happy Party in Mr. Fermina's room where we were able to maintain an advanced class.

I left early in preparation for the trip, but I'm guessing Mr. Noir and I were having girls-talk all night.

"I was here before sunrise."

Isn't that just too soon?

I thought so, but if I slept halfway through it, I might go to bed.

The effort to avoid tardiness is splendid.

But you're fluttering your head like you slept, and I'm worried you might suddenly collapse...

"Oh, yeah"

I took the energy pills (energy drugs) out of my bag and gave them to Mr. Noir.

"Would you like a drink of this?

Qi medicine is a medicine that helps to restore fatigue and remove drowsiness.

I hit Mr. Noir right now and put it on.

"That would help."

Mr. Noir received his pneumatic medication and turned a strange gaze on my bag.

"Two days a night is a lot of baggage."

"I have a lot of plans."

"Are you going somewhere?

"Sort of."

"When will you be back?

"About two weeks from now."

"Yes..."

Mr. Noir laid his eyes down somewhat lonely and began to take his qi pills tiny.

After spending the night at Mr. Fermina's home, I decided to go to the ruins to find clues to acquire magic.

I haven't asked him out yet, but I want Mr. Noir to follow me then, too.

Because summing up the stories of Mr. Kühl and Mr. Ringrant, "The Ice Emperor (Ice Road) sealed the Demon King on the ruins of East, West and North."

In other words, Mr. Noir, the reincarnation of the Ice Emperor, might be able to decipher the tablet.

I really wanted Mr. Cuhle to follow me, but he refused because he said he had a travel appointment with Dr. Elena.

That's why I'm alone with Mr. Noir if we're going to the ruins.

Of course, if Mr. Noir will follow me, I'm going to pay the full price for a few days of dressing and travel.

The question is, how do you invite me on a trip?

If you could decipher the tablet, Mr. Noir said, 'How can you read it?' I would be puzzled.

In order not to, you should tell the truth beforehand.

Even for me, I don't want to lie to Mr. Noir.

However, stories about previous lives are important to Mr. Noir.

You should set up a proper place to tell them.

I hope I can prepare a 'proper place' during this trip......

"Whoa!

"You're running out of time!

Efa and Fermina rushed over just after Mr. Noir had finished taking his qi pills.

Coming at the same time means you must have spent the night in Mr. Fermina's room yesterday.

"You're both early!

"My master was first again today. Awesome!?

Are you both sleepless, late-night tension?

"This time Mr. Noir was first."

"Really?!? You were up late at night, and it sounds amazing to be the first!

I'm not asleep.

Did the qi medicine work early, Mr. Noir said with a crisp face.

"If you're sleepy, sleep on the train!

"Mr. Fermina's home was only in Lucham, right?

Lucham is a town about 200 kilometers north of Erstania.

It's still early in the morning, and we'll be there by noon.

"About three hours on the train? I'm not switching or anything, so I can get some rest!

"That helps! I'm so sleepy!

"Me too. Yikes!

"I'll wake you up when I get to Lucham, so you can sleep with the efferents."

Efa and Mr. Fermina looked happy.

"Thanks Ash!

"Let your words sweeten you!

"... I just woke up drowsy"

Mr. Noir lowered his eyebrows when he realized that drowsiness was coming halfway through.

◆

Being rocked by a train for three hours.

We arrived in Lucham.

There are plenty of dewstores lined up in the square in front of the station and various foods are sold.

Efa, who had been asleep until just now, looked like her drowsiness had been blown away by so much buzz.

"You look so excited! It's a festival!?

"It's always like this! Look, that skewered grilled meat over there is so delicious! Let's go eat when we put our stuff away. Hey!

"Is Mr. Fermina's house close?

"Ugh. About 15 minutes on foot? Over here. Yo!

We walk in the square while we try not to lose sight of Mr. Fermina.

"Oh, uh, could it be Mr. Ash!?

Walking down the square, a girl called me off.

"Yes, I do."

"I knew it was Mr. Ash!! I became a fan of yours when I saw the battle against the Demon King!!

I hear that voice, and one of the people in the square gathers around me.

"Master, you look very popular! I'm proud to be your disciple!

Efa said happily.

I've been surrounded the same way in Elstania, but time has passed since my battle with the Demon King, and I've settled down quite a bit.

But one of Lucham's only seen me on The Demon King Broadcast.

I guess I'm getting excited about the 'raw ash' I see for the first time.

"Sign it!

"I want you to shake hands!

"Me, I bought pants!

Stop it, please!

I'll shake your hand, sign or whatever, so don't talk about your pants!

Next time, you might want to hide your face and walk away in the first land you visit.

Otherwise I can't go out properly.

"This is our home. Yikes!

He is touched on the back, his arms are ragged and he keeps walking, and he reaches Mr. Fermina's home.

"You can think of me as your own house. Hey!

When I entered the house that way, Mr. Fermina's parents welcomed me.

No surprise because they had asked me in advance, but Mr. Fermina's father was one of the knights I dragged out of the dirt during the battle against the Emperor of the Earth (Earth Road).

"That was really helpful then. Please take your time."

"What a thank you for really helping our husband..."

I can bow my head to my friend's parents, that's a little awkward......

If you thank me, Mr. Fermina scattered me, and you don't have to stick around.

"Ugh! I told you on the phone! Look, Ash, you're in trouble!

Mr Fermina said with an eyebrow raised.

"I'm a loud daughter on this street, but I'm glad you'll always get along"

"My daughter seems to really like Mr. Ash, and in the future, we'll stick with her as a family -"

"Ugh! I told you on the phone not to even talk about that!

Mr. Fermina crimson his face and screamed, my hand grabbing firmly.

"I'll show you to your room. Over here."

I was drawn to Mr. Fermina and headed upstairs.

"This is my room. All three of us are staying at our place today, right?

"I'm going to. I have to go home tomorrow at noon, so I'm going to enjoy Lucham today!

"I'll take care of it if you guide me! Ash-kun and Nowa are leaving tomorrow, too?

I'll be home around noon tomorrow.

Tomorrow we'll start touring the ruins.

If I'm alone, I can reach the northernmost ruins during the day, but I'm going to use transportation because I'm going with Mr. Noir.

Your vacation could crumble round, and you'd better leave early.

Well, depending on Mr. Noir's plans, the site tour is postponed...

"I'll be home around noon tomorrow too."

I want to talk to you two alone, and I guess I'll talk about my previous life at noon tomorrow.
