Chapter 344 – Chapter 344 – Love Help!
◈
After breakfast, while waiting for Dave to come, Melissa came to her inn dressed as she did in town.
“Rant.”
“Melissa, did you sleep well with your father and mother yesterday?”
“Yeah. Oh, what is Lant doing today?”
“I’m waiting for Dave.”
“Dave?”
“Yeah, it’s been a while since we decided to hang out with men.”
“Playing a warrior with the devil?”
“That’s right. Ah, Shima decided to go too.”
“Rant~ It would be shameful to go to Shima~ I want to go too!”
Noah, who was sitting next to me, raised his hand and insisted.
Following Noah, Elsie and Niña also spoke.
“I-I want to go too. Playing with the hero and the demon king… I want to see it!”
“I’m also curious about how Lant plays.”
Following that, Mr. Tikia, who is still resting her head on the table after eating breakfast, raised her hand and said.
“Me, me too… Ugh, it’s the head…”
“Tikia, are you really okay?”
“Sue, it’s just a hangover…”
I guess I drank too much yesterday.
“Then I’ll go too. I like to see Rant having fun.”
Everyone said they were going, so Melissa said she was going too.
“Okay? Then let’s go together.”
“Rant! I’m here… Uh.”
As Dave comes briskly to the inn, he sees Elsie and turns her head away, blushing at her.
Then, looking at Elsie again, she lowered her head.
“I’m sorry!”
“Oh, it’s okay now. Please raise your head.”
Elsie responded with a benevolent smile at Dave’s sincere apology.
“Huh? Huh?”
“What? Dave. Did you do something wrong with Elsie?”
Seeing the two of them, Shima and Melissa were puzzled.
By the way, while Noah and Niña were having a meal together, I found out about Dave’s apology to Elsie.
“Hee hee hee, he saw Elsie Lang Lant cuddling with her naked in the morning.”
Noah explained the situation to a low level.
“Ah… Is it? It was Elsie’s turn yesterday. By the way, you Dave…”
“Ugh…”
Melissa’s stinging gaze fell on Dave.
But Melissa took that look right away.
“Well, it doesn’t matter if it was a mistake and Elsie forgave it.”
“Whew… I’m glad.”
Shima let out a sigh of relief.
Maybe it’s because he thinks that Dave doesn’t have feelings for Elsie?
We followed Dave to a hideout built by boys.
While walking I asked Dave a question.
“By the way, Dave. Is the store okay?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I told Mommy beforehand. Oh, but… Everyone has changed into the clothes I saw last time.”
As Dave said, Elsie, Noah, and Tikia are now back in their normal clothes.
Niña-san is dressed like a simple villager, just like when she came to the village the other day.
“Hee hee, it’s uncomfortable to wear that dress all the time.”
“Ha, well, if you’re an adventurer, I guess.”
“Ugh… Rant… I’m still dizzy, so pick me up… “
“Yes, Mr. Tikia.”
At the request of Mr. Tikia, whose hangover was not yet cured, I immediately bent down on my knees and carried Mr. Tikia on my back.
“Thank you…”
“You’re welcome.”
And we arrived at the hideout.
Other boys were already gathered in the hideout.
“Hey, Dave! Ran… T? Huh? Shima and Melissa are there too?”
“Besides, there are Rant’s women… “
“What? Wasn’t it just Rant and Dave coming?”
To the puzzled children, Niña-san said with a wink and a frown.
“Hehe, we want to watch you guys play too… Can’t we?”
“”Of course it does!””
Guys who shout together in one heart.
Well, I think I would too if Niña said that.
“Then let’s all raise arms.”
Everyone started to pick up the wooden swords standing next to the hideout.
It is a wooden sword to raise the atmosphere.
Of course I’m almost bare-handed.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been doing it, so I feel a little nostalgic.
“Come to think of it, who will play the role of the warrior today?
One of the boys said.
When you play a warrior, you start with the setting of the role of the main hero and the others roughly.
Being the role of the demon king from the start, I don’t have to worry about that, so it’s comfortable.
“Who was the hero last time?”
“Well, I don’t remember…”
“Do you want to decide with rock-paper-scissors?”
In this case, let me step out.
“How about Dave doing it today?”
“Huh? Me?”
“Dave?”
“No, it doesn’t matter.”
“Why suddenly Dave, Rant?”
“Um~ I just said it, can’t I?”
I moved closer to Dave and looked at the other boys in a position where Dave couldn’t see my face, then glanced at Shima.
Only then did the boys show understanding.
“Oh, well, it’ll be fine.”
“Okay, Dave’s going to do it today.”
I’m glad that all of them are good friends.
“Huh? I’m a warrior today? Yes!”
Dave knew nothing and was excited.
“Then you should have weapons and clothes befitting a warrior, right?”
I took out Excalibur, a one-handed sword that glowed golden, from my right hand and handed it to Dave.
“Come on, Dave.”
“Huh? Uhhhhh? What, what is this! Open it, it’s cool! No, more than that, where did you get this?”
“Hey, did you just see it?”
“Uh, yes. It came from Lant’s hand, right?”
“Rant! You that, you! You! Uh, uh, what did you do?”
“Skill.”
“Do you have such a skill!?”
“Yes. Oh, do you need a Dave crown or a cape?”
“Can you make it?”
“Sure.”
“Boo, please! Oh, at least a nice-looking shield.”
“Okay.”
I immediately made a crown with many golden jewels attached to it, a red cloak, and a colorfully carved shield on a blue background and handed it to Dave.
Wearing them all made them look good.
I think this is enough for playing.
“Uh, how are you?”
“Wow, I’m envious. Open it. It’s cool.”
“Gone clear the sword!”
“D-Dave is cool…”
The last one is Shima’s small murmur.
“Hey—Rant! Make us some too!”
“That’s right! Just make Dave and kill him!”
“Okay. Then what kind of weapons or outfits do you all want?”
“I’m a spear!”
“Ax!”
“Can I have a glove?”
“Make me a bow! Oh, arrows too!”
I like the weapons each child wants, the color and aura effect that goes with it. And I made the outfit simple.
“Oohhhhh!”
“Hey, this really feels good!”
“I’m so cool!!!”
Everyone was very satisfied with the weapons and props I made.
Seeing this kind of reaction makes it worthwhile.
“Hehe, everyone is having fun.”
“Yes, everyone is smiling.”
“It’s like a rant when using new technology.”
“Because boys are still the same no matter how old they get…”
“I’m not going to care anymore. Each one of them has a strange amount of magical energy, but I don’t care anymore.”
“I’m glad Dave looks happy.”
Shima seems really infatuated with Dave.
Everyone’s outfits are ready, so now it’s my turn.
But before that, I went to the side where the women were watching and made a viewing chair.
Everyone thanked me and sat down, and I went back to my seat and made my own outfit.
“Huh!”
I put on a black-purple helmet with spiky black armor and bull-like horns, and I radiated a dark-purple aura from my body.
“Wow! Something strange is emanating from Lant’s body!”
“Dogs are cool!”
“Wow, he really looks like a demon king.
Now that everyone has finished their costumes, it’s time to start acting.
I said, remembering the times when I played with boys.
Hehe… You’ve come this far! Warriors and the others! But your journey ends here!”
Maybe it’s because everyone has been playing around so many times, Dave, who immediately took a good stance and played the role of a warrior, pointed a sword at me and said,
“The end is you, the devil! I will defeat you and save the world!”
Actually, if you look at it objectively, it’s a very cheesy line, but originally, a little cheesy is the perfect way to play a role play.
I waved dark purple magic in both hands and said.
“Come on!”
“”…””
But no one jumped.
Huh?
“What’s the matter?”
When I asked, Dave said representatively.
“No… Rant. You can use magic, right?”
“Yes.”
“Isn’t that swaying in that hand magical power too?”
“Yes.”
“Looking at it, it looks like we can shoot it. If we hit it, won’t it hurt?”
Aha, it must have scared me because my magic production was so realistic.
“Oh, nothing to worry about.”
I fired magic that completely eliminated aggression.
The magic I sent out was gorgeous, but the moment it touched the ground, it just shone like a toy laser beam or a flashlight, but didn’t dig out the ground.
“Because it doesn’t hurt.”
“Oh, really.”
“But for the sake of excitement, once you shoot, avoid it moderately.”
“Okay. Then let’s go safely!”
“”Yes!””
“Kuhm…”
I cleared my throat for a moment, then stood up again and shouted.
“Come on!”
“””Wowaaaaa!””
◈-Tikia SIDE
As time passed, the hangover pain subsided, but I raised my head properly and saw Rant and the boys from the same town playing together.
Seeing that light, I am amazed.
I was not surprised by the amount of mana weapons already held by Rant and his friends.
I’m not surprised by Rant’s aura either.
In the first place, they were played with my father.
However… However…
“Take it! Demon King Beam-!!”
“Wouldn’t that be a beam! Take the blow of the holy sword!”
“Take my spear too!”
“I’ll crush your head!”
“Uhhhhh!”
This is a game right?
Why is everyone attacking Rant in such a life-and-death!?
“Uh, hey, Melissa. Aren’t you all attacking too seriously?”
“Huh? Ah… The lant is strong anyway, so don’t you worry?”
“No, but aren’t you too hesitant? Usually you’re a little considerate, aren’t you?”
“Ah, that’s because Rant personally proved it in front of the kids before playing the warrior with the devil a few years ago.”
“Proof?”
“Yes. He scratched or banged his arm as hard as he could with the saw blade. Well… The result was that only the blade of the saw blade was damaged and broke. After that, everyone was relieved and played like that. “
“Ah, I remember too… Rant back then. Aunt Merinda scolded Rant a lot.”
“That’s right, why are you destroying a perfectly fine saw blade?”
Rant… Have you done anything like that before?
“Fufu, Lant in the form of the demon king is also cool♡”
“I-I like the heroic image better…”
“Gara Gara Rant! Guess it!”
Rant is doing something out of the ordinary for a wizard.
No, at the point of already using the mana weapon like that, it’s out of the ordinary, but…
What is that magic cannon?
It’s just shooting mana with no aggression?
What is that?
The idea of sending out mana like that without any aggression in the first place is too unfamiliar to me.
I was also careful not to touch the wood when performing tricks with magic yesterday, but a mass of magical power that has no aggression at all even when I shoot it hard like that…
Ugh, it’s not a hangover, my head hurts the other way…
No, that’s true, but Rant’s classmates are also weird.
“Take it!”
A kid named Dave swings his sword at Lant.
But Rant easily dodges the sword…
“Ugh!”
He picks up Dave and throws him at once.
“Wow!”
If you hit the ground like that, you will definitely get hurt.
However.
Tadak!
Dave immediately… He made a very natural fall, got into a stance, and charged again.
“Come again!”
Dave isn’t the only one who’s used to falling.
Whenever the other boys are blown away by Lant, they immediately take a fall and rush at Lant while minimizing the impact.
Why are you so good at falling?
Aren’t you an adventurer?
“Hey~ Everyone is good at falling…Isn’t this better than me?”
Noah also tilted his head at the highly skilled fall technique.
“Hehe, it feels like you’ve been falling for years.”
Niña was making her own assessment of her.
Melissa said to the two of them.
“Ah~ It’s because Rant often throws the kids whenever he plays. Rant is strong, so he tries to block it but he does n’t want to hit it, so he throws it like that.”
I was curious and asked Melissa.
“Aren’t you hurt?”
“Of course, I didn’t throw it like that from the beginning. At first, I only threw it with a slight butt bump, but as it continued to be thrown, everyone naturally learned how to fall or roll without being shocked.. On the contrary, the kids said it was OK to throw a little harder, and the Rant gradually adapts to it…That’s how it happened. Look at that.”
Tadak!
“Wow! Woo-ssi can’t be caught this time! Yaaaaa!”
Degur
“Heh! With my splendid roll, throwing doesn’t work anymore!”
The thrown kids are rather excited.
“Rather, it’s been a while since you’ve been thrown like that, so you like it, right?”
“…”
A teacher once said that the best thing to learn is to enjoy it.
Apparently, Rant’s friends from the same neighborhood continued to enjoy landing and rolling, so it could be said that it ended up like that.
Degururr
“I rolled to gain momentum! Take it, mawaaaaang!!!”
Seeing Dave being thrown and rolling while playing with Rant, Shima blushed slightly.
“Rolling Dave… Nice.”
… Did you use this completely bean pod?
