Phew.

It feels like a breath of fresh air to finally see the graceful man, Carter off and out of sight.

As if to relax your shoulders, let out a breath.

Yeah, I'm okay. The wounds are ...... many, but mostly scars.

You're going to be able to get the best out of it.

When you do this, you will feel a slight pain in your body, but as I said before, you are not badly hurt.

Not that that's why, but the pain is bearable and doesn't affect your expression.

But secretly, I regret that I took a little too much damage.

Although the equipment does not expose much skin, there are still thin areas of protection.

Damage has accumulated in various areas, especially in the sleeves and undercarriage of the thick clothing worn under armor.

Some of those wounds have reached the flesh, of course.

It's a scar that shows signs that Carter tried to reduce our mobility and attack power.

While it seems reasonable, the sweat on his clothes must have rubbed off when he moved his body, causing pain.

I was so focused on the fight that I didn't notice it, but I was gradually feeling the pain all over my body.

Just enough to remind you that you should have gotten around a little better.

"d*mn, you mercilessly tore my armor to pieces and paid for repairs for free too. I'll send you a bill: ......

I'm used to that kind of pain, but I decided to treat it later and checked my equipment without worrying about it, and sure enough, it was more damaged than I expected.

"Is that what you're worried about?

"Isn't there anything against our concern? Start fighting on your own.

Yes,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. On the spur of the moment.

I was more worried about my tools than I was about myself, and they warned me about that.

Even if you think you're okay, it might look like a serious injury to you from the outside.

On top of that, they were fighting right in front of you, so how could they not be worried about you?

"I'm safe now, so I won't say more, but please avoid that kind of thing as much as possible. Look how badly they are hurt.

"Mm.

"Yeah, I'll do my best.

From the recent events, you can't say that you won't, but I guess I've gotten used to this environment too.

I gently reach for the scar on her cheek and take Suela's hand in mine, reassuring her.

"Lord, heal me.

"Oh, come on.

And just because I got used to the environment doesn't mean that the wound won't hurt, and I'm not a masochist who enjoys feeling pain.

If you can heal it, you should heal it sooner rather than later.

It's best to be healthy.

I nodded to Himik as he quickly began to heal, and I stood there while he began to heal with his magic.

"By the way Suela, what was that?

"I would say that I work for the Count of Calicetra Frontier, but I don't trust him just because of his name .......

I'm not trying to pass the time, but as a fighter, I'm still curious about the man who attacked me just now.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

You will be able to find out what you need to do with it.

"As expected of Suela, she doesn't remember all the names and faces of the nobles?

I am a member of the dark elf tribe. I'm a member of a tribe of dark elves myself. So I have the most famous names, but when it comes to my subordinates, I may or may not know them by name.

But it seems that Suela did not know about the man who just came in.

"I see, by the way, Calicetra? A frontier count,

"You are a man with a large estate in the west of the continent. Your main source of income is the grain wheat and alcohol. I believe he was a vampire as well, but unusually for a nobleman, he is not unified by race, but has many subordinates of different races.

You're one of those people.

Yes, it's an honor when a subordinate becomes a general. I'm sure they've brought out the best in the business.

"Really? Even if we weren't serious about each other, I don't think you're a contender when you're even with me,

I'm proud to say that I've grown a lot compared to when I joined the company, but that doesn't mean I can't fight my instructors with everything I've got.

Miracle after miracle after miracle, and if another miracle happens, I'm proud to say that my odds are such that I can win.

Maybe it's underestimated to the extent that one miracle can be pulled off, or maybe it's overestimated to the extent that more miracles may be needed, but it's a fair assessment in my opinion.

You are so far away from those beings that you can only judge them to such a vague degree.

It's safe to say that we can't imagine beating that existence.

"Jiro-san has improved a lot. There's no need for you to be so humble.

"Really?

Yes, perhaps, but I'm no match for you in close combat.

"What if it's all-out combat with magic?

That's still good for you. I'm still a member of the Demon King's army, and I have some trump cards too.

"Oh, my wives are so much stronger than I am that they're no longer men.

Still, it's not even a year old, and it's amazing that we've been able to catch up with them, even if we limit ourselves to close combat. It's a little disheartening.

Don't say that with a smile. Thank God for my mother's blood.

It was the result of Jiro's efforts that he drew on that blood.

I smile at Suela, who affirms my efforts as she repositions my glasses with a curt smile.

Of course there's the effort that Suera mentioned, but I'm aware that there's more to it than that.

They say if a parent is a parent, then a child is also a child.

I didn't know until just the other day, but my mother has a magical aptitude of 10, a spec that can be called the performance of any hero.

The fact that I am growing up faster than anyone else must have had a lot to do with the fact that I was able to inherit such an unconventional mother's talent, a mother who understood that I was out of the norm even when I was very young.

Talent, the word that is the furthest thing from equality, comes to mind when I talk like this.

I don't want to show it on my face, but I think so in my heart.

No matter how professional you are, if the material is bad, it will be difficult to create the best product.

Let's think that it is the result of materials and efforts.

Work hard every day without resting on your laurels.

Lord, the healing is done.

Thank you. Well, I guess it's time to stop escaping reality: ...... I can't just keep being a donkey.

Yes.

The healing process seems to have ended while we were having a light chat.

Your body, which had been complaining of pain slowly and gradually earlier, feels refreshed.

And you're going to face the reality that you deliberately ignored.

If I had to, I'd smoke a cigarette to deal with all the troublesome things, but I'm a pregnant woman, Suela, so let's weigh ourselves.

For now, Kaido, Minami, and Kitamiya will shimmer later.

"'Why? Yo! (?)"?

That's because you're tired after a hard day's work, and you're looking at me happily, without a word of thanks for the fact that I'm tired.

You're building a training menu for three people in your mind, which is handed down directly from the instructor, while you try to understand the current situation.

Was the battle so shocking?

Now, I digress.

I turned my gaze reluctantly on the testers, who were looking at me as if they had seen an impossible thing.

They were whispering to each other, but their eyes would often fly my way.

That stare is never a good one.

Most of them are filled with negative elements such as anxiety and skepticism.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

It's probably because they didn't grasp the difference in ability between them and Jiro-san.

"Huh? It's too late. We're making good progress through the dungeon. The other side is stagnant. The difference is in the outcome.

Yes, the results are there. But the other testers thought the difference was small. Not at all.

"...... Oh, I see.

That's what I mean.

I don't want to be a favorite," Suela says, adding that there is no need for favoritism.

I don't want to be too harsh, but that's the purpose of this joint exercise: ...... To be honest, I can only say that Jiro and the rest of his party are not very aware. If you are a tortoise in your steps, Jiro-san's movements are like a hawk.

I didn't know my growth was that different.

The testers seemed to want to complain about Suela's words, but perhaps because they had seen the battle earlier in person, none of them had anything more to say about it than their expressions.

Of course. To show results, you have to do everything spontaneously first. There's no room for idleness. The name of the person who prepared the application for the training facility is roughly the same, the amount of time you spend in the dungeon is minimal, you have problems with the demon king's army, and yet the content of the report is so sparse that even if you point out the corrections with a sticky note, the only thing that will change is the points you pointed out... ... Thanks to that, I worked overtime and shaved off the hours I didn't want to shave.

I don't know, there's a Suela out there that I've never seen before.

The more we talk, the more reality hits me, the less excited I get.

The dark side, if you will.

No, I think "work-weary office worker" would be a more accurate term.

She usually cautions you with an open mind, but whenever you point out a problem, instead of getting angry, she sinks down.

Perhaps she feels responsible in her own way.

She is often trying to improve her testers.

Maybe she's just letting out some of the stuff that's built up here.

But it's painful to watch her normally crisp face die.

You don't want the child to be affected, so you'll come to your senses.

Come on, come back. Come on, come back here." "Don't be negative.

Ugh, the way we work in this world is advanced, but there are too many details.

I thought it was a good idea to do it in public, but I decided it would be worse to leave it like this, so I gently hugged her and patted her head to comfort her.

It was Suela, who was completely in the downer category of office workers.

You're going to have to reflect on the fact that you've been under more stress than you thought, and from now on you'll have to vent appropriately, but if you look at the testers who caused the stress, you'll see that they're all looking away one by one and feeling guilty.

"Hmm, Lord. To sum it up, you neglected your work, you are jealous of the Lord's strength, you are sulking at the remarks of your laziness, and finally you feel guilty. You have no ambition and are dissatisfied with the status quo. Hmm, you deserve it.

No, you're not wrong, but I think you're going to cut me down, you know.

Whether you know it or not, there are fallen angels who cut down on such an atmosphere.

With a casual look on his face, Himikku said the words that people have been trying to avoid saying.

It's a good argument.

It's a legitimate argument.

though there's no mercy at all.

There are a few guys who fell to the floor, including a tester who liked Himik.

I secretly think to myself, "That's too bad.

Mm! Because mistakes must be corrected! If left wrong, man becomes lazy. If one becomes lazy at first, it will be hard to correct him the next time. Eventually, you will not be able to correct them and people will abandon you! It's history that's been repeated by humans!

"Yeah, maybe so, but you need to learn the word 'obras' a little better, huh?

It sounds unfashionable coming from a fallen angel who has lived a long time and seen humans.

No, from Himik's point of view, it's an experience.

Is that so? There is no offense in Himik's face as he tilts his head to the side.

Of course, there must be some great people in history who are called saints, so why did Himik choose to talk about the bad one ......

Well, we can fix it. Yeah, we can fix it.

"Mm!

I know it's not something to say with a smile, but I hope this will motivate the other testers to get to work.

I hold Suella to my chest.

I look aside to see the testers collapsing or feeling guilt-ridden.

Kitamiya and Masaru are nodding their heads as Kaido and Minami nodded at the side, and Amelia looked on happily.

This joint training session, which was bound to cause two kinds of anxiety, was a tentative success as the testers appeared to be more serious about their efforts than in the beginning.

Instead, mental damage seems to have been inflicted: ......

Word of the Day

Failure is not a bad thing.

Not making the most of your mistakes is a bad thing.
