, and suddenly stabbing the opponents with the tip seems to be useful . Up until now I was only in charge of defenses in battle, but from now one I can become Ramis’ strength . I’m really happy about that .
“Ramis-san . If you lower your center of gravity, I think it will be easier on you . ”
“O,okay!”
Even though we’re in the middle of battle, Grandmother is giving Ramis guidance from nearby . The situation is like this as, though there are differences between swordsmans.h.i.+p and unarmed techniques, there’s a commonality in the way you move and your stances, so Ramis requested this .
Grandfather specializes in magic and Princ.i.p.al-sensei the bow and magic, so it was decided that Grandmother is the one who knows how to handle physical techniques best . President Bear’s main is unarmed techniques, so he and Grandmother are teaching her something like kungfu1 in turns .
It’s the best since the teachers are excellent and the student is obedient and willing, so even my untrained eyes can tell that her movements are getting sharper every day .
And, when Ramis’ training began, it was funny to see the gatekeepers, Leader Keryoil, and Mishael straining their ears and observing while pretending to be completely uninterested .
Even now they’re staring with serious gazes to see if there isn’t even a little something they can take from it .
“Alright, now step with all your might . ”
“Toyaa!”
Zun-, the vibrations were transmitted through her shoulders and back and a dull shock sounded .
Now that had a good feeling to it, just now . Being on her back all this time, I’ve become able to tell how things are from the feedback, so I can tell how that one blow with all her might turned out even without looking .
When I s.h.i.+fted my gaze, the bones have been beyond pulverized, turning into fragments and sent flying into the surroundings without a trace of the original form .
In accordance with the policy that actual battle is the best way to train, Ramis’ special training continues surrounded by enemies .
Even though the number of enemies somewhat exceeds twenty there’s no sense of crisis, so Grandfather, Princ.i.p.al-sensei, and Hyurumi are sipping milk tea and spectating from on top of the wagon .
From time to time an enemy will get near the boar-drawn wagon, but they’ll be instkilled by an arrow or magic . You can rest fully at ease, na .
That said, we can’t be negligent . We don’t know when the Ruler of the Netherworld will appear and begin his attack .
“Now then, shall we try having you go around without Hakkon-san?”
“Okay, I got it!”
I was lowered from Ramis’ back and became a spectator .
Recently the main focus they’ve been working on is fighting normally without me . It seems obvious, but Ramis is unable to do it well .
Her strength is way too excessive so that when she just takes a single step without thinking about it, she ends up making movements like she’s taking off .
She’s been living ten-odd years with her super-strength and unmanageable body, so she’s able to naturally control her every day movements… although from time to time she’ll be troubled with making a mistake, but she’s unable to control it well when she’s bringing out her full strength in battle .
“Don’t be afraid of your own strength . You have body that won’t break when using that super strength . You don’t only have strength but also st.u.r.diness . ”
That’s right . I, who didn’t realize it until Grandmother pointed it out, also think that normally, if you move with that kind of strength then your bones and muscles won’t be able to take it . If that was a possibility, then that means she doesn’t only have super strength, she also has a st.u.r.dy and flexible body that can withstand it .
Grandmother estimated that her body was equal to or higher than the first-cla.s.s hunters .
.
“Lower your body . Don’t leap upwards, as if you’re leaping forward . Be more conscious of your knees . ”
“Okay-!”
Just listening to their voices, it resembles the atmosphere of a sports practice, but when I look over, the picture of Ramis sprinting while raising a cloud of sand, shattering all the enemies she pa.s.ses into fragments, leaps into view .
I’m following Ramis, sprinting at full speed, with my eyes, but once in a while I can’t track her and she’ll disappear from my field of vision . If it was an enemy watching, they wouldn’t be able to deal with it .
However, it seems that the burden on her body while moving at full strength is large, so she’s prohibited from using it for long periods of time . Right now it seems she doesn’t have to hold back while she’s learning her own limits because there are two people who can use the Healing Blessing .
There have been a number of times where she almost hit her allies, but seems like she ended up annihilating the enemies .
“There aren’t any more enemies, so shall we end it here? Your stomachs must be empty, so let’s eat, ne . ”
Princ.i.p.al-sensei raised her voice from the wagon and everyone gathered .
All the members who partic.i.p.ated in battle had a number of small wounds, but Grandmother and Principle-sensei immediately healed them .
“This healing power is seriously terrifying, Gols . ”
“I had heard rumors of it, but”
The gatekeepers are staring at their arms, where even scars aren’t left, constantly admiring it .
I’m not really sure what the standards for healing abilities are in this world, since I’d only seen it during the time with the king-frogman demon so it was difficult to tell, but from the two’s surprise, this must be quite the healing power .
It’s because there’s this healing ability that they can train her in actual battle .
Here the lunch is the vending machine’s – not, everyone’s taking turns cooking for them to eat . Principle-sensei said,
“Your skills will dull without preparing food every day, ne . There’s no disadvantage to being able to cook . And also, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a guy or girl, you’ll be popular if you can cook well . ”
She gave that welcome lesson, and it was decided that they would take turns cooking .
I’m only in charge of soup and beverages, as well as providing ingredients . It seems that it’s quite precious to be able to take in vegetables and fruit in abundance during an expedition, so they were plenty grateful just from that .
“But what’s the Ruler of the Netherworld wantin’ do? Overlooking us, he should of expected that the information would spread
would spread and it would become like this . ”
Hyurumi wasn’t talking to anyone in particular, intending on speaking to herself, but her voice was louder than she expected and she gained everyone’s attention .
“What do you mean, Hyurumi?”
“Oops, you heard me, President . Nah, well, I can’t figure out the point of his actions no matter what I do . With that kind of ability it was possible for him to kill everyone . Hakkon’s Barrier is an annoyance, but he shoulda had some kind of counter for it . ”
True, if he continued attacking, my points would eventually run out and that’d be the end; it feels like there’d be a number of ways you could confine or seal the movements of an opponent solely devoted to defense without killing him .
“I think, it’s almost like his goal was to show off his power . He didn’t intend to kill Ramis and Hakkon from the start so they could report it . So they could bring back the message that he’s here … tch, I’m thinking too much . ”
So he wasn’t going to kill us from the very beginning?
The Ruler of the Underworld was talking like he’d been spectating us fighting the Ghost King . If that’s true, then he should have caught on to my . He had fired of that blow understanding that I could withstand it . And he had killed Hyurumi and Shui to make us want revenge . He had displayed that overwhelming power in a way we would never forget, giving us an intense impression in order to… is how you could read into it .
“But, if we a.s.sume that for now, what advantage does the Ruler of the Netherworld get for that? You mean he wanted us to come to subjugate him?”
Karios’ question is obvious . I think so too .
“I haven’t thought that far . Normally we could end the discussion and say he’s provoking us, but if he had some kinda objective to come to this dungeon, then normally ya’d think he’d want to avoid standing out . If that’s the case, then he’s already fulfilled his objective, or maybe his actions are somehow tied with his objective, or…”
“If this has anything to do with the recent level rulers reviving, then the strange happenings on Clear Water Lake Level might be involved . ”
President Bear crossed his arms and sighed heavily . That sigh caused the flames of the campfire to flicker greatly .
Strange happenings, that would be the king-frogman demon outbreak and the a.s.sault of the gigantic two-headed-snake demon . And also the revival level rulers, that we can a.s.sume affects each level .
It just follows that you’ll start thinking whetherstart thinking whether they’re related . If that’s the case, just what is the objective? Showing himself as if to make himself a target and gathering all the levels’ best warriors here .
No way… is he a ma.s.sive m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t?! Ah, no way, na . Let me think seriously .
Let me try to think about the Ruler of the Netherworld’s feelings . He’s also the Demon King Army’s number three . He might have the permission to move freely, but if there’s so large-scale plan, normally it would be related to the Demon King’s Army .
… . Normally you would think to collect the level rulers’ coins to have your wish granted, but he threw the Ghost King’s coin away . Just what is he aiming for with those actions?
“There’s not enough information . I can raise all sorts of hypotheses, but… without proof they’ll just pa.s.s as delusions . ”
Hyurumi crossed her arms, groaning . It looks like she’s powering her brain on full power, to the degree where it seems like smoke will come from her head .
“Hmph . I’d like to ask him before we kill him, but” (Gramps)
“Doesn’t seem like he’s an opponent we’ll have the liberty of doing so with, ne . How troublesome, ne, Grandfather . ” (grandmother)
When Grandmother says so like that, I can’t see that she’s troubled at all .
If Hyurumi’s thoughts are correct, that means that those actions had some sort of deeper meaning . So it won’t be the end if we defeat him?
He’s already a formidable foe by himself, but for the troublesome things to further increase .
“But if we don’t first defeat the Ruler of the Netherworld, we can’t do anything!”
At Ramis’ words, everyone who had their head down, thinking, raised their heads .
That’s true . If we don’t win against him, there’s no point to all of that . It’s not like we’re not taking the enemy’s schemes into consideration, but if we lose we lose everything .
“I ain’t partic.i.p.ating in battle, so I’ll try to think up the most likely thing the Ruler of the Netherworld’s thinkin’ of to my best abilities . Everyone, you all concentrate on fighting . ”
Rather than me thinking of this or that, it’s appropriate to leave it to Hyurumi, who has a head full of knowledge and can think faster, huh? But I’ll keep it in mind . I can’t help but have a bad feeling .
Well, it’s not like I have a fortune telling ability, so I think it’s likely that it’s just groundless anxiety .
Gah, taijutsu, karadasabaki, kenpo… everyone gets kungfu, right? Kenpo’s basically kungfu . I can’t translate all of them as ‘unarmed’Hunters and Expectations After witnessing the elderlies actions, the other members have become lively . They attack the frequently appearing monsters without timidity, burying the monsters in a flurry of movements accompanied with battle cries . I m personally observing the two gatekeepers movements, but these two, they re stronger than I thought . The main weapon for both of them is the spear, but although it s not like they re moving at invisible speeds, nor do they have Ramis super strength, but there are no useless movements . As a bonus, the two of them are able to convey their attentions to each other with just glances and trifling movements, so the scene where one stabs his enemy in his blind spot without turning has occurred many times . This must be that fabled synchronized thoughts I guess . Leader Keryoil, who often makes his brigade members do the work while watching, is unusually all seriousness this time . Wielding daggers in both hands, at short distances he cuts up his opponents with his skillful dagger handling at long rage he throws his throwing knives . And by the way, average is 100 . Ramis is also won t lose regarding the amount of effort she s putting in . Without throwing her strength around, she carefully smashes into the monsters with basic moves . I m not just watching quietly . When my allies aren t looking I make use of Telekinesis by changing into Pressure Washer and manipulating water to shoot of the nozzle with Telekinesis , and suddenly stabbing the opponents with the tip seems to be useful . Up until now I was only in charge of defenses in battle, but from now one I can become Ramis strength . I m really happy about that . Ramis san . If you lower your center of gravity, I think it will be easier on you . O,okay Even though we re in the middle of battle, Grandmother is giving Ramis guidance from nearby .
