Yomigaeri no Maou

I reached the cave, but there was no one there.

Sounds like Solange is still doing something inside, and there's no sign of him coming back.

I could have asked the Iris to keep coming back, but I thought we should all go back and decided not to break up.

"- Heh, did you two teach Solange"

It's not funny to just wait for Solange to come back from behind the cave, and Lulu and Iris decided to listen to Yurk and Stefani.

Neither did the two youngsters want to hear about the Lulu, nor did Iris seem to have talked about the martial arts tournament, so the subject was endless.

In it, Yurk and Stefani - plus another boy, Timeo's master, and I thought Lulu would be enough to hear it was Solange.

Normally, people who want to be adventurers in a village like this learn the basics of martial arts and sorcery from retired adventurers, knights, hunters, etc., but there is a well-armed sorcerer in this village called Solange.

It is obvious that learning from her is the best choice to be an adventurer.

Besides, from what I hear, Solange also knows a lot about swordsmanship, the two boys say swordsmanship is taught, and Stephanie is taught magic by the subject.

Curious to what extent the boys' arms are, Lulu asks Iris.

"What about these two? Are you strong?

Ilis thought a little before answering.

"I can't say anything because I'm not fighting Mr. Stephanie, but Yurk was not a bad arm. If we keep trying like this, we're talking about what will be a problem arm to be a junior adventurer by the time we get to 14."

It was Yurk who surprised me with this word, and opened his eyes,

"Ho, is that true!?

Ask.

Iris nodded,

"Yeah. Of course, I won't lie to you. They seemed to care that I lost... what shall I say. This may sound nagging, because I think even if my opponent is a junior adventurer at one end of the spectrum, it will have the same result as Yurk. So you don't have to get sick."

I reluctantly answered that.

But Yurk is an indescribable expression.

I seem to know he was praised, but I guess because he only saw where Iris was fighting in a mock fight against himself, and his strength was only considerably reduced to suit Yurk.

I still look anxious to see if I really have the strength to do it as an adventurer one day.

I thought this wouldn't penetrate my head when I said it with my mouth, Lulu.

I was wondering what was going on, and it caught my eye that a wooden knife that didn't suit the hips of Illis was lowered with a dagger.

Seeing it, the same thing was lowered on Yurk's hips, presumably the one they used when they had a mock fight.

I thought I could use this, Lulu.

Tell Illis.

"Iris. What are you waiting for? Why don't you show your future juniors an example?

The reason I said that was simple, to show her the seriousness there in Illis, and to teach Yurk that losing to her without a hand or a leg would not make her sick at all.

If only they could help one day by showing him that he was so strong.

I guess Iris also wanted to see how Yurk was feeling down and manage to cheer him up.

I nodded instantly and pulled out the wooden knife.

"- Right. Shall we? Yurk, can I borrow your brother-in-law's wooden knife?

"Huh? Oh, yeah..."

Yurk pulled out the wooden knife he had lowered to his waist when he was told, and gave it to Lulu.

Lulu has received it, swinging it several times to ascertain the sensation,

"... All right, Illis. That's good."

That's what I said, and I waited for Illis to come.

"Yurk, Stephanie, please step back and watch. It could be dangerous."

Shortly after the two of them took a short distance from Lulu and Iris in the words, Iris kicked and ran to the ground.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

To begin with, the pairing of the two was no big deal.

It was enough for Yurk and Stephanie to see the orbit of the sword.

In fact, it was definitely a sufficiently hands-on sword at a level that would not have gone so far as to say that the two youngsters could receive that speed sword, or that they could fight on the same level as that one, but now I can only say that it claps out even if they say that it is a martial arts tournament winner, a semi-winner.

It was like that.

But Yurk and Stefani know at the next moment that such a feeling was a big mistake.

"- Did you see it, both of you? That's the strength of the common junior adventurer. Mr. Stephanie doesn't know, but Yurk will be able to reach this level in a few more years. And then intermediate adventurers…"

The moment Iris says so, Lulu and Iris' standing changes as if they had been switched on.

The speed, and the power, rose out of step, and was no longer felt clearly, but it was clearly felt that strong magic was being used.

The strong steps of Illis determine the ground, and the sword waved down strikes at a terrible rate towards Lulu.

That's inevitable, no matter what.

The two youngsters thought so and covered their faces with both hands, but, uh, a high and loud noise sounded when the tree and tree hit, and the sword of Illis was played, so they opened their eyes.

Lulu stared at the trajectory with no fear at all and defended himself precisely.

And it wasn't just that, he changed his posture instantly and poked his sword at Illis.

The two youngsters also meditate their eyes on a sword that runs the shortest distance straight towards the throat of Illis.

But you two had a hunch.

I'm sure this isn't even...

The moment I thought that, at some point the pattern of the sword of Illis, which had been pulled back, bounced off with a sharp thrust of lulu.

After all, they thought.

He said this wasn't really a serious fight.

So I understood to the two youngsters that they were fighting just to show - that is, to perform.

They are two people who are learning all about moulding in Solange.

I know that I've done what I call martial arts, and that I do the determined movements as quickly and accurately as I can.

I'm sure that's what Lulu and Illis are doing right now.

But if I did, the two of them moved too fast.

Plus, every blow has a special power caged in it, and at a glance you can see that if you hit it, you won't just be sorry.

Furthermore, Illis had just said so much about the meaning of saying that this was the level of intermediate adventurers.

Adventurer, I knew that was a powerful warrior different from the normal person, but I knew very well that it was actually incredible when I saw it.

Though Solange may be able to do the same, emotion is also part of it because he did not show the martial arts so far to avoid losing the confidence of the Yurks, or once the basics are firmly in place.

And Iris says another word,

"- Is the intermediate level good around here? Next time you'll be advanced... My brother-in-law!

"Ah......"

At the same time that Lulu replies so, a junction is formed that envelops Yurk and Stefani in a spherical fashion.

Even though the two of us knew that was the juncture, we didn't know which one was the one that Lulu or Illis put up.

However, I somehow found it to be based on terribly advanced technology.

Because I had heard Solange say that a boundary is basically a tension in the form of a plane forward and that it is technically difficult to form in the shape of a curved surface.

I just thought first-rate would make it possible.

Then, says Illis.

"This is the advanced battle."

At that moment, the two gladiators increased in intensity, and on top of that, magic began to fly between them.

The wooden knife is swinging with one hand, unleashing magic with the empty hand and defending it.

The power is still high, and if you hit it, you won't be spared serious injuries, it's a powerful sorcery that makes you feel that way.

The spell is cast, but the two admire its concentration of waving a weapon and running around indefinitely and utterly at all costs.

"Yurk...... I can't believe it"

That's what Stephanie said with her mouth open.

Yurk gives the same look and nods.

"... ah. Too awesome..."

Sharp slaughter and poking rewards, as well as physical surgery, are used for the gleaming magic collision, and the two battles are formed in every possible way.

That's how the battle between the two gradually ends.

The two youths somehow figured out that Illis was gradually being pushed and the distance was being packed.

And at the last moment, the magic released from Lulu's hands flashes in front of Iris's eyes, depriving Iris of his sight for a moment.

"Shit..."

When Illis said so, he was accompanied by a wooden knife on the neck of Illis.

"I win," he said.

At the same time that Lulu said that and laughed, Yurk and Stefani gave the two of them a round of applause.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... wasn't that martial arts?

Yurk gave such a squeaky look at the words he heard from the two men who had finished the fight.

Both Lulu and Iris were just thinking of their hands as they watched how they came out, not particularly following the pre-determined procedure, but just explaining that it wasn't an act of martial arts in the original sense, which seems to have been a surprising fact for Yurk and Stephanie.

"Weren't you so frightened of poking and cutting in the bump production?

That's what Stephanie asks, so Lulu answers.

"I can avoid that, and my opponent - because I've known from the beginning that so is Illis. If you really want to fight, it's fine."

"That's right."

Illis nods to the word, too.

What that statement means is that the two of us still have a top, and nothing more than to say that the earlier battle is only one end of that strength.

On the other hand, I wonder how strong these two are, and Yurk finally understood wholeheartedly that losing to Iris was nothing to be ashamed of, and felt safe.

Then for a while, we chatted again, but we interrupt because we heard people walking from behind the cave.

It is clear who came, and it seems that Yurk and Stefani also found out.

At the same time as we figure out the person's face, the two run to her.

"Baba of Solange!

"Grandma Solange!

Yurk's is a rough way to call it, but the guys in the village used to call it that, so maybe the guys are fixed with this.

I guess the way Stephanie calls it is mainly used by women.

Whatever the way you call it, the two voices feel a dear affection, and that seems to tell Solange too.

Turn that witch-stained face into a bright grin the opposite of that impression and say, embrace the two people who have been running.

"Oh no, you guys, it's been a long time... but why are you here again...?

Solange that makes you wonder.

Naturally, you can't tell her what's going on here.

Lulu and Illis approach Solange to explain.

And then Solange looked at Lulu,

You know why?

I nodded because I said so.

Then, Solange seemed to notice someone next to Lulu, shifting his gaze all the way and staring seriously at Iris' face.

To begin with, Solange's expression was a witchy expression peculiar to her, like eating a person, but strangely, the look changes after she firmly recognizes the face of Illis.

With her eyes open and her apparently surprised face, she said a word with a voice that squeezed out of her throat.

"... hey, no way... Mother...!?

Needless to say, the most surprising thing about the word was that it was Iris himself.

I shook my head at Lulu staring,

"No! You're not! Not yet, me, kids, etc!

I'm not going to say anything mean, too desperate and suspicious on the contrary...... etc.

In the first place, given Solange's age, it is a previous issue of suspicion, because he cannot be an Iris child.

But I don't think Solange is just saying this to make fun of Iris and Lulu.

Essentially, because Solange looks like a good man.

It is understandable both from its actions and from its physical waist.

So Lulu decides to ask directly.

"Solange, what the hell does that mean?

and.
