Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 273: The Hard Work of the General Public

Faitha's movements were from Lulu's eyes, subtly lacking in glory.

It is also natural.

Faitha was originally a youth of the dwarf "Katangenos" and is now transformed into that of the human "Human" by fiction.

That has changed my height and my body's reach.

The humanized magic that Lulu learned and adjusted from the ancient dragon Enchanted Dragon never produces halfway results that only deceive people's eyes with phantoms, but completely alter everything, including the appearance and of course, touch and texture.

This is why the task arises of not being noticed in any way by others, but instead having to get used to that very body, which has changed dramatically.

Of course, for something that doesn't make fighting a business, it's not much of a problem.

If you can manage even basic actions, such as walking and running, then gradually enough is enough.

But like Faitha, the story becomes very different for those who need to fight.

In fact, Pfizer is not out of strength right now because of that.

Walls, who is his opponent, is a warrior with considerable arms, and it's only natural that you have to do everything in your power to fight him like that, whether he's an Enzier or a hand-worked Pfizer, but it's hard to do that with a body that has changed so much.

I can't reach where I thought it would reach, and the other weapon reaches where I thought it wouldn't reach the other way.

Because that happens frequently.

Not the other way around, but that hasn't necessarily benefited either.

Because when an attack that I thought would come off hits me somehow, it would rather create a huge gap if I had already moved imagining in my head the next action to follow.

Lulu also made me a difficult body, and here Faitha resented Lulu just a little bit.

Of course, if he hadn't put humanized magic on himself, it would have been a misguided grudge in the first place, given that he would not have been able to come back to Lugung like this, or even harsh to escape the assassins.

But I couldn't help but think that if at least we were going to fight this way, I should have made my body a little closer to its original height.

Even if you know you can't do that.

For Faitha, Lulu's use of humanized magic seemed like an all-powerful thing, but Lulu says there are quite a few limitations on how he looks after the change, and it's not something Lulu can change as he pleases.

It was only a magic trick that could be transformed into a person, and there was no choice as to what kind of person it would be.

In fact, he said that he had called or mastered it several times by others, or that when he called the beast tribe Animazeas, etc., it varied from cases where factors as beasts would only be removed to cases where the figure itself would change significantly.

However, it is nevertheless speculative that, in the case of humanized magic, elements such as age will be humanized in the form in which they are applied.

I mean, when a 20-year-old dwarf becomes a person, he becomes a 20-year-old, like that.

That's exactly what Faitha's case is, and now she looks like she's about twenty years old, the same age she was when she was a dwarf.

He grew in height greatly, but was, by and large, only slightly higher than the average height of a person of this age, about that height, and was certainly about that height among dwarves even when he was a dwarf.

So it's inevitable that I've become this body, and there's nothing I can do about it by force of will.

But if it was, I would have liked some more time to train... but given this country's Luguns, and the Enziers, I didn't even have time to specialize in it for a long time.

So I have no choice...... but to lose as it is......

"... Hmm. Is it time for the last punch in? Your health is at its limit now, isn't it?

Walls shook his spear and said as he looked at this one.

Indeed, he was right, Faitha's health was already at its limit.

It's because you're bigger than you were when you were a dwarf, or because you consume a lot of health.

Instead, however, my arm strength rose and my reach grew... but I was still unfamiliar.

If this means I'm going to fail the exam, then I can't help it either, so I thought.

Because giving up here is also a different story.

If we're going to lose anyway, we want to lose after we've earned it.

That's what I thought. Faitha goes through magic on her own weapon.

And made it "change".

One of the moves handed down to the Angel clan, to "Struggle".

It's essentially magic, but it's a more sophisticated force, and it's a lot more aggressive than when you simply deal with magic.

For this reason, we have been careful not to use it as much as possible because if we use it seriously, we may kill the person unintentionally.

Not even when I'm being chased by a chaser, so much so that I didn't use it except when I was cornered.

But I can't end up without using this in this place right now.

Walls wouldn't know about this technology either, but he probably did something that changed his air.

"... is that what you mean? Let's go. Come on!

"... Let's go!

And Faitha kicked the ground...... sword and shield bumped into each other.

As for Faitha, I either bounced off that shield or waved down my sword with the intention of cutting it off so warmly...

"... no, ahhh!!!

With Walls stepping all over his body and in such a mood that his muscles float on his forehead, Faitha's sword is bounced off by a shield.

And......

"... that was a shame"

I didn't think so. At that time, he had his spear stuck in his abdomen.

My vision is darkening......

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... Ugh, is this...?

Wake up to the light you felt behind your eyelids, and get up and whine about that, Faitha.

Apparently, he was passing out, because he sensed that his surroundings were exam venues he had fought earlier.

It's just that there's no sign of Walls and Major Sioux, who are supposed to be the examiners, and Lulu and Iris, plus Zoe sitting beside them.

"Oh, are you awake? Is there a problem with your body?

That's what Lulu has asked, so Faitha nods and answers.

"Oh...... looks ok. There doesn't seem to be any bruises on my stomach."

Turn your clothes and see the part where Walls poked you earlier.

Even though it was a simulated spear that was crushed at the tip of the blade, it was such an attack that it wasn't strange to have been stabbed in the gut because it was being poked precisely at that speed.

So I was worried, but it's actually beautiful, including the skin, and it's painless.

How well did you poke me...?

That's what you think, when Illis,

"Faitha's wound was healed by her brother-in-law," he said. Thank you, Walls Examiner seems to have been in too much mood for the battle, in a very dangerous state for a while... the two of you are not here because you went to get a healer. "

"Oh...... but didn't Major Siu know that Lulu could actually be cured if that was the case?

"He seemed so hasty because Mr. Faitha was throwing up quite a bit of blood. Besides, I was screaming that advanced healing wouldn't be something I could use more than once, I'm going to go get another healer right now, so... well, I guess that's the thing. In fact..."

"You can use it as many times a day as you want. By the time I said it, I'd already been there... no, they're surprisingly nice. Those two."

Faitha says she just cured Faitha for being in a state where she could have died, but to Lulu and Iris, who talk like that in an easygoing manner, Faitha follows, and she almost sighs.

But if you ask me if I can be more worried, because it's something different, or if I have anything else to say, I quickly realize that I'm only thankful for it at best.

Faitha turned again to the two of us,

"I'm sorry to hear that you're helping me again... but I'm just getting my feet together..."

And I said as I confirmed my pity.

If I had more power, that's what I thought even then when I was kicked out of Lake Angel, but I've thought about it many times since then.

This is how I still annoy the Lulu people today because of my weakness......

That's what I thought, with faces like Lulu, Iris and nothing.

"No, you have nothing to worry about. More like a help. If we'd beaten those two completely, I don't know... I'm sorry, right? There, I'd rather be thankful to have made excuses for losing the battle. Iris is so dumb with his bare hands. I don't know how to say it's too flashy. I don't know."

"If you're my brother-in-law...! I was wondering if I had done a little too much, but I also thought I would be sorry to be clueless before the warrior... It wasn't a kill, it was only a mock fight, and I thought that was acceptable!

"Hey... wasn't I overdoing it to the boulder? I'm scared after this. It's no wonder you got weird eyes on me and tied me up after this. Well, that's when I wish I'd just slipped away. If that happens, Faitha, I know a lot about this country, so I'm gonna ask you to show me. We're terribly oblivious to that."

Such two stories, with a frightened face of Zoe listening so silently,

"... Faitha. That's why, well... you don't have to worry about too much detail. Even I've been dating for quite a while, and I often don't think I can keep up. If you're still surprised by the scale of what these two do, it doesn't matter how many lives you have. I wouldn't say it would be nice to use it... but Pfizer has a purpose, too, right? Until we can accomplish that, don't be senseless and think we're about friends and it's easier to hang out."

That's what I said, so Faitha swallowed up all sorts of things she wanted to say, and finally,

"... ok. Mr. Zoë......"

And he said with a sigh.
