76 - The Brave Goes to Camp with His Brothers

The first semester is over and we are on summer vacation.

The first day of summer vacation.

The members of our club came to our house.

In the garden of the Carlyle house.

"Here we go, Aniue!"

"Oh, come on!"

Mikhail's body glows brightly.

At that moment ...... disappeared.

Gone!"""""""""""""

Elise, Sakura, and her brother Gaius look up.

Gakiin! ......!

My sword and Mikael's [Laser Sword] collide.

"Mika-chan has disappeared! But then I slashed at Julius-kun and ...... Oh, he's gone again!"

Mikhail moves at super high speed, attacking me from all directions.

Kink, kink, kink!

"Ha, it's too fast, I can't see it. ...... is it splitting up?"

"No, it's just an afterimage. ...... probably."

Gakikin!　Kink, kink, kink!　Gaggin'!

"Whoaaaaah!"

Mikhail is blown backwards and crashes into the wall of the mansion.

Boom!

The house is half destroyed by the impact.

"Mika-chan!　Are you okay?

Elise turns her eyes and screams.

"No problem, Eri-chan!"

With a thump...... and a spread of his wings, Mikael comes to us.

"I knew you were strong!　It's amazing!"

My brother-in-law hugs my waist.

"Brother, what was Mikhail doing?"

"Yeah, [koutaijutsu], right?"

""""Koutaijutsu?"""

"The technique of moving up a level of existence, becoming light itself, and gaining light speed travel. ...... Yeah, this is pretty common knowledge, isn't it?"

How is that possible?

I nod my head along with Mikhail.

"Hey Mika, is that normal?"

Yes, sir.

The remaining three men slump their shoulders with a limp expression.

"Julius, you're too ...... amazing ......."

"It's so different. The Master is truly a terrible man.

"You do amazing things without even realizing it. I'll fix the broken house.

Gaius reaches out with his right hand to .......

The half-destroyed house is restored to its original state by the younger brother using [pseudo-creation magic].

Wait a minute!

"Yeah, what the hell ......?"

Gaius is pressured by the two girls.

"You're using a little bit of inhuman skill yourself, aren't you?"

"Yeah,...... so ...... is that so?"

"You can't fix a broken thing that easily. You always treat your brother and brother-in-law like outsiders, but you're not so bad yourself.

Gaius looks shocked and crouches down on the spot.

"...... I didn't realize I was surrounded by two monsters!　I can't believe they put me in the same category!"

I don't know why, but Gaius was scratching his head.

"But Julius and Mika are both so strong that I can't really use their fighting techniques as a reference.

"Yes, it's a different kind of special. It makes me feel a little less confident. ......"

"...... d*mn. You low-life women. And yet you're still a member of your brother's club."

The cherry-pickers frown miffed ...... at the snide remark made by the younger brother.

"Gaius. You can't talk to your friends that way, can you?"

"Who's your friend? These guys are just friends from my circle."

Hmph!　Gaius turns away.

Well, I was hoping my brother would get along with them.

They haven't gotten along at all in the first semester.

As an older brother, I can't help it if he is isolated.

Can't you do something about it? .......

"By the way, Julius, about the camp..."

Sakura comes up to me and says.

"[Kashikuzaki], I was thinking about a town near the ocean."

"Kashikuzaki...... where there?"

"It's a seaside town down southwest from King's Landing. It's a nice town with hot springs."

I see. ...... there seems to be a lot of places to play there.

"Great, let's all go there together!"

""Three seis!""

Elise and Mikael raise their hands with smiles.

Gaius, on the other hand, raises his eyebrows.

"I'm not going out with you!"

"Why, little brother?"

I don't have time to play. I just want to get closer to my brother as soon as possible.　

I think it's admirable that you have ambition.

I've always admired Gaius' spirit of challenge.

"But Gaius. "But, Gaius... training your body is not the only way to get stronger."

"Huh?　I don't know what that means.

Hmmm...how to explain .......

Gaius is indeed strong.

But it's not enough.

It is not strength of arms.

It's more of a conceptual ...... thing that I can't quite ...... explain.

"Anyway, I'm not going out with you."

"Well, then you'll be all alone, won't you?"

"What?　Brother, you're not going to sleep under one roof with these b*tc*es!"

"Tei."

Flatten.

Don't call me a b*tc*. You're my friend ......, right?"

"Who!　Because they stole my brother from me ......"

"Me?　The old woman?"

"~~~!　Anyway!　You are not allowed to spend time with these guys out of my sight!"

Grizzly, Gaius pulls my arm.

"Outsiders should go home. You belong to me. Stay with me."

"Huh?　What are you deciding for yourself?"

"Yes, yes!　Julius is going to the beach with us, right?

A woman and her brother flank me from both sides.

"Are you irresistible?"

My brother-in-law stays attached to my waist the whole time.

Hmmm... ...... can't be all fun and games.

That's why Gaius won't come to the camp. .......

But if I do the training I always do with my brothers, Elise and the others won't be able to keep up with me.

"Well, why don't we all try being adventurers?"

""""Adventurer?"""

My brothers nod their heads.

"It's like a handyman who takes requests and kills monsters or dives into dungeons to retrieve valuable items.

"No, ...... I know that, but why?"

"You guys don't have enough real-world experience. You can't get to the next level just by passively taking lessons from me. You need to learn to deal with problems actively.

I see!"""

The women's team was easily convinced by the ratio.

Gaius, however, looks disgusted and says, "I'm sorry, but I don't think I can do this.

"Why are you still using monsters?　I can defeat demons just fine."

"Gaius. It's part of the training. And you're the one who needs it.

"I'm the one you want to ......?"

Gaius is stronger.

But his brother has yet to realize [what's important].

If we all play the Adventurers together, we will find it.

"...... Okay. Adventurers, I'm in. I'll follow you guys."

"Wow, you agreed pretty easily."

I thought you'd be more insistent.

"Because you decided it was best, didn't you?　Then I believe you."

Gaius smiles faintly at .......

"Mwah, ahhhh!　I wish you wouldn't make out with Gaius all the time!"

"What?　Heh, don't be weird, Mikael!"

Elise and the others in the back of the room agree with Mikael.

"Yes, yes!　Julius, you belong to everyone!

You shouldn't have it all to yourself, little brother.

"Shut up and shut up!"

And so it goes.

We were going to a training camp in a seaside town, where we were going to be adventurers.
