Chapter 380 – Episode 380-the Decisive Battle With Lenny-San!

“You mean gargoyles?”

“That’s right. It’s the perfect place for Dwarves who haven’t been formally recognized as blacksmiths to practice.”

Mr. Kelvan continued his words while playing with the stone fragment of the gargoyle he had lifted.

“For a Dwarf, processing iron is like playing house. A true Dwarf should know how to handle not only iron, but also materials for hard monsters and other ores.

In that respect, the body of a gargoyle is very good. It’s much harder than iron, so it’s a perfect practice material to acquire the skills needed to smelt stronger ores or the outer armor of monsters.”

“Okay.”

“Besides, even if you can’t dismantle gargoyles…”

Mr. Kelvan put down the stone and took a hammer from the desk in the shed and struck it at one of the gargoyle corpses.

Kang! Kang! Kang!

After Mr. Kelvan hit the hammer a few times, the magic stone inside began to appear.

Hehe, I can fill the satisfaction of digging stones like this as a dwarf.”

“Do dwarves like to dig stones?”

“To be precise, I like digging for gems in mountains and mines. To me, the best mines and gems are demonic corpses and magic stones.”

Apparently, Mr. Kelvan’s castle walls are a version of the original dwarven instincts replaced with monsters.

“I’m glad Mr. Kelvan wasn’t too disappointed.”

“Heh heh heh, thank you for worrying about me, Rant. Then I’ll pay you back for the gargoyles tomorrow.”

“Yes, Mr. Kelvan… Ah, I may not be able to come tomorrow. I have a schedule.”

It is Lenny’s decisive battle.

“Hmm? Is that so? Then see you the day after tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

Then I left the warehouse and entered the adventurer’s guild again.

Only Mr. Tikia and Melissa could be seen in the guild.

“Huh? Where are Tikia-san, Nina-san, Noah, and Elsie?”

“I’m at the training ground right now. Noah said he wanted to test the dagger he got temporarily.”

“Aha.”

Well, even if you borrowed it temporarily, it would be nice to wield it a few times to get good at it.

“Aren’t you going, Mr. Tikia?”

“I was going to go with you. Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

I went to the training ground with Tikia.

“Yaaaaa!”

“Your movements are still monotonous, Noah♪”

At the training ground, Noah and Niña were sparring.

Holding the provisional dagger, Noah moves quickly, swinging the dagger or throwing kicks while mixing paint, but all of those attacks are lightly dodged or parried away by Niña-san.

“Then… How about this!”

Tadak!

In an instant, Noah sped up and swung his dagger at Mr. Niña.

The dagger was traversing toward Niña’s forearm, and Niña-san gave a slightly startled look at the sudden acceleration.

“Eight!”

Ms. Niña, with even quicker wits, dodged to the side and, holding his spear upside down, struck Noah’s bar as if swinging her club.

Pooh!

“Ughyaaagh!”

Noah was attacked by Mr. Niña and flew backwards, rolling over and grabbing his stomach.

“Ugh, ugh… It hurts…”

“The attack just now was good, Noah. Hehe, the strategy of slowing down from the beginning and causing distraction is good… But if you already know Noah’s power like me, it’s useless.”

“Yeah, that’s right… Elsie~.”

“Yes, Noah!”

Elsie ran towards Noah with her wand and cast a healing spell.

“Heel!”

Receiving Elsie’s heel, Noah slowly rose from his seat.

“Huu… Thank you. Hey, sparring with Niña is good, but why do you attack the ship every time?”

“Your face is like that.”

“…If I get hit in the face with Niña’s attack, I think I’ll break my nose right away.”

At that time, Elsie found Tikia with me.

“Ah, Rant! You’re here!”

“Yes. Noah, are you used to daggers?”

Noah grinned as he swung his dagger with his right finger.

“Yeah! It’s a good dagger, so I got used to it quickly. Haha, so I was excited and sparred with Niña… As I saw it, it was smashed to pieces.”

“Isn’t it broken? It’s grown a lot compared to the beginning. Honestly, Noa’s growth is scary, isn’t it?”

“Huh? Really?”

Noah’s expression brightened at Niña’s praise of him.

“Really, don’t you think I’m being overtaken by Noah?”

“Hee hee, then I just need to tell you about Niña.”

“Oh, then I’ll be grateful for guidance at that time, Noah.”

It felt like watching a conversation between warm priests, so my heart was warm.

Hmm, wouldn’t it be nice to have a sparring with Mr. Tikia, who came to mind the other day after coming to the training ground like this?

But before that, let’s ask Mr. Tikia for his opinion his.

“Mr. Tikia.”

“Huh? Why, Rant?”

“Did Tikia engage in sparring in the Magic City?”

“Dalian? Dalian…? Huhuhuhuhu… What I did in the magic city wasn’t sparring, it was a sign for bitches who quarreled with me…”

Tikia’s dark side is about to come out.

Let’s turn the subject.

“Did you often practice magic alone in that backyard?”

“That’s right, there’s also a barrier there to prevent magic from leaking somewhere else… And the fact that there wasn’t a fuss at that time is all thanks to that barrier.”

“Is it crazy?”

“… Rant, that enormous mass of magic you created. It’s fortunate that it has a barrier so you can’t feel it outside the magic barrier. Would have come?”

“Really?”

“Of course. Half of the magic city is magical enough to fly away…”

“Oh, I guess.”

Now that I think about it, I didn’t pay attention to the details because I wanted to be recognized by Mr. Chainver.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Tikia.”

“No. It’s already gone… And there was no problem. But why did you suddenly ask about that?”

“If you don’t mind, would you like to fight Tikia-san with me?”

“…What?”

For a moment, Mr. Tikia made an expression that he did not understand what I was talking about.

Mr. Tikia lowered his head for a moment, tapped the ruler’s forehead with the index finger of his right hand, then raised his head again and said.

“Rant, with your words, I’ve been looking at the possibility of me fighting Rant somehow, but most of them haven’t worked out.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. Like Niña or Noah, even if there is a difference in skill, there are ways to improve the opponent’s skills, but magic is only about research on magic and image training.

At least the most probable is the image of me shooting magic at a fast-moving lance in an attempt to hit it somehow. How was Rant trying to match me?”

After listening to Tikia-san, what I was trying to do was not sparring, but a kind of play.

“I’m sorry. Now that I think about it, the word sparring was wrong. I… Wanted to clash magic with Tikia-san.”

“Catch the magic?”

“Yes. For example, Tikia-san shoots Twinkle Buster, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then, I’m also going to shoot magic cannons that contain magic in line with that. That’s why I wanted to play with each other’s magic.”

“… Why are you playing like that?”

“Ummm… Jae, because it looks fun, doesn’t it?”

“Ha.”

Tikia sighed.

“Rant, thank you for thinking of wanting to play with me. But that’s true. Even if I like Magical Girl Marin, I’m still a wizard and older than you.

I don’t think I’d be interested in a game where I just collide with magic instead of researching magic.”

“Is that so?”

I thought Tikia would like it too, but it doesn’t seem like it.

“Ah, uh, don’t be so downhearted. Ah, okay. Let’s do it! You don’t know if it’ll be fun or not until you try it! Besides, if you’re with a lover, it’s fun to be still.

Huh? So don’t make that face. Ego! Rant stands over there! I’ll shoot magic here!”

“Yes.”

◈

And after 10 minutes.

“Ooooo!!

Tikia is very excited and is shooting the Twinkle Buster.

“Haaaaa!!”

And I also fired a purple magic cannon at Tikia-san’s Twinkle Buster.

Woooooh!

Tikia-san and I’s magic cannons collide with each other, opposing each other as if pushing each other’s magic power.

It’s literally like that scene in the cartoon where the wish-granting marble comes out.

“Wow, that’s spectacular…”

“It’s a simple clash of magic and magic, but seeing it like this is cool.”

“Rant and Tikia-san, do your best!”

Noah, Niña, and Elsie are watching us from the hallway at the training ground.

And it was the same for other adventurers.

“What, what is that?”

“Wow, that’s a huge waste of mana.”

“But it looks like a lot of fun.”

“Ehh? You’ve never seen magic like that before? Could it be…Original?”

“Dungeon Crasher was able to cast such magic?”

“Nuh, dazzling…!”

As time passed, more and more other spectators began to gather.

“Uh, aaaaa…!!”

Just in time for Tikia-san’s mana to run out, I slowly withdrew my mana.

“Haha…”

Tikia, who had exhausted his mana his, was struggling to catch his breath with his hands on his knees.

And after you catch your breath

Run, run, run!

Mr. Tikia ran towards me and when he got close to me he jumped up and he hugged me.

And Mr. Tikia looked up at me and said to me with bright eyes.

“One more time! One more time! Rant!”

At first, Mr. Tikia said that he couldn’t enjoy this kind of thing, but when I got depressed, he started with an attitude that he couldn’t help it.

After experiencing such Tikia once.

“What… Ha, shall we do it one more time?

I said, “I’m not interested, but I’ll try it one more time.”

In the second.

“Yeah, I understand. This is how it feels~ The collision between magic and magic…”

He looked at me with the same attitude as a researcher.

From then on, he clung to me like this and begged me without acting.

“Rant~ Rant~ One more time!”

“Are you having that much fun?”

“Yeah! At first I thought it was no big deal, but when the magic that I squeezed out all my strength collided with the corresponding magic, the touch is really killing me!

While shivering, the feeling that if you put in more magic here, you will be able to work harder, gives you the feeling of constantly facing the limit, and at the same time, that thrilling feeling that clearly marks the boundary line to overcome the limit…”

As Tikia is held in my arms, she is explaining the beauty of the energy wave pushing game.

And while explaining that I had completely solidified my thoughts, I was sucking my mana with the mana drain.

“Mr. Tikia.”

“Huh? Let’s do it? Let’s do it again, Rant!”

I want to do it like a chimney.

It’s a play I suggested in the first place, and a phenomenon like a cartoon reproduction is unfolding in front of my eyes, so I’m excited and it’s a pity to end it this time.

Still, it seemed like it was necessary to take a short break for Tikia, who was immersed in this game.

This was because, instead of spending and replenishing mana leisurely in the dungeon several times, he had exhausted his mana to the end at once and then refilled it several times.

If Tikia had no problems, I would have done it consecutively.

But now, Tikia’s expression her is full of anticipation and excitement, but her breath her is still tight.

It’s good to enjoy playing, but it’s a big deal if you fall down while playing.

I thought I should take a break for 5 to 10 minutes.

I supported Mr. Tikia’s buttock his, which was clinging to my body like a child, with his left hand his, and lightly patted and stroked his head with my right hand.

… In fact, it’s okay to fix the waist, not the hip, but as a lover, I used the privilege of enjoying the touch of Mr. Tikia’s butt his.

“…No?”

Mr. Tikia must have accepted the bullying as I was trying to calm him down.

Tears welled up in her cute eyes as she looked up at me.

How fun was it, Mr. Tikia.

“I can’t do it. Let’s do it again. But Tikia-san seems to be out of breath, so let’s take a break for about 10 minutes and then do it together.”

“Ah… Yes!”

Tikia, who had been crying, immediately smiled as brightly as the sun after hearing my words.

Cute!

Even though she is older, she is small and a fan of magical girls, and even though she tries to show dignity as an older woman, Tikia-san shows such a cute side in the end.

No matter how many times she emphasizes it, she is so lovely and cute that she wears a hat.

Of course, at night, lewdness is added to it, making it even more fantastic.
