TDADP chapter 202: Reasons to keep being an adventurer

「Oraaaaaaa!!」

A wolfman shouts with his left fist thrusting out. The spiral rotation that the fist raises engulfed the air and comes close to Yuu's face, but when Yuu lightly flips it up with his right hand, the trajectory of the fist deviates very easily.

「Not yet!!!」

Next, it was the same fist thrust that the wolfman had thrown away. Although there is a difference between the left and right fist, the result is more apparent than seeing fire. Yuu tries to intercept with his left hand in the same way, but his hand stops because the area around the elbow until the wolfman's fist was covered with lightning.

「I got you!」

「No, I don't think so」

At the same time as Yuu's words are heard, a bolt of lightning that is incomparable to the lightning that the wolfman wears on his right arm, gathered on Yuu's left arm and converged.

「Hey, what do you do?」

「Uee!? E, Emm next, next, what's next?」

Yuu, who wears lightning in the same 『Magic fist』, was holding the wolfman's right fist without difficulty.

「Odono-sama, get ready!」

A voice is heard from above, looking up, there was the figure of a man of the demon race who descended with a spear in his hand. When the demon man sets the aim of the tip of the spear, he activates the spear technique 『Strong spiral』.

「Guee」

The wolfman whose stomach was kicked was blown away parallel to the ground. In the current stance where Yuu kicks and stands with only one leg, the man of the demon race thought that Yuu couldn't avoid his attack satisfactorily.

「What!?」

「Is there anyone who calls out to surprise me?」

There is a burning smell from the spear. The source of the smell is from Yuu's right hand, who clenched the spear.

「If you have the time to be surprised, fight back right away」

The man of the demon race wasn't watching silently either. He was desperately trying to twist and push his spear through, but he wasn't a freak.

「Otherwise――」

Yuu twists the spear in the opposite direction to the man of the demon race. As the handle of the spear is twisted, and the force of the spiral is transmitted from the spear to the man's hand, and then to the arm, the arm is twisted in a direction that it shouldn't be bent, the bone is squeezed, the meat is torn and the blood spouts out.

「Nuu!? Guuu......u. Guaaaa!」

It was the man of the demon race who tried to push back, but if his wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints, which exceeded the limits of the range of movement, came off with noise, he releases the spear.

「Hey, is it hurting? If you don't get away soon, you'll get stabbed」

「This is an insignificant thing!」

Even though one arm can't be used, the fighting spirit of the man of the demon race does not decline. With his moving left hand, he pulls out a short sword that is attached to his waist and attacks Yuu. Yuu feels a little sorry. It is a situation where it can still be rebuilt, but the demon doesn't know that he will pull once the battle has begun. Because the instinct of struggle is too strong, he continues to fight even if he recognises that the other party has much more power than himself. Therefore, in the past war, many sacrifices were made on both sides, but the same is true for the man of the demon tribe in front of Yuu. Now that he is forced to fix himself and can't rush, Yuu throws a lasting kick to the man of the demon race――.

「I won't let you attack him so easily」

A violent impact sound rang around. It is the sound of a young girl of the demon race who has caught Yuu's kick with a tower shield made of obsidian iron that is as tall as her height.

「Well done」

「Ehehe」

The girl of the demon race didn't catch Yuu's kick, to be honest. The shield technique 『Stone Wall』 was used to raise the defences of the whole body and scatter most of the impact by receiving the kick with the tower shield at an angle.

「But it's time to do it!」

When the demon girl who hides behind the tower shield and leans forward, activates the shield technique 『Shield charge』. Yuu is still in a position where he throws a kick and is standing on one leg. If you think about it normally, he would be blown away. Even if he couldn't be blown away, she thought that she would not lose anything. And behind Yuu, Agafon and Flavia were approaching, as well as a man of the depraved race holding two short swords in both hands, searching for an opportunity.

「Mu, Mumu! Mumumuu!! L, Lie!?」

Despite using the shield technique 『Shield charge』, it seems that even if she can't blow off Yuu, who is standing with one leg, he doesn't even move an inch and the demon girl has an unbelievable expression. Yuu activates the martial arts 『Sunkei』 from his leg and struck the tower shield of the demon girl who can't hide her surprise. Originally, it was a technique to shoot with a fist or palm, but Yuu released it with his foot. Even though it's over the tower shield, the demon girl who scolded a minute ago fell on the spot without making a roar.

「It's almost time」

Raising the spear that he was holding, Yuu rotates it as it is. While watching, the wind generated by the rotation becomes a whirlpool and pulls Agafon to Yuu. The suction force involved all the people in the surroundings.

「Bee!? This is the spear technique 『Daison - Heavy loss』?」

「This power is incomparable to that damn fellow Machupi. As one would expect from the king!」

「Do, Don't be so amazed! A, Ah, I can't hold on anymore」

Those who pushed their swords and spear into the earth and those who have grasped the grass can't endure anymore, as the wind created by 『Daison - Heavy loss』 pulled them away without any concern. Of course, Yuu is waiting for at the attraction destination, and Yuu uses the technique 『Rising dragon kick』. The shock of the 『Rising dragon kick』 released to the heavens is scattering Agafon and the other.

「Guhaa」

「Idee......」

「Uh, Uchi, I'm flying in the sky...... Kehuu」

Yuu is looking at the people flying in the sky, and as he removes the dust on his clothes, he hears chanting.

「Layer of water to be stacked――」

From where. Yuu is straining his eyes.

「Overlapping blade, sharp water blade――」

The source of the cast was Agafon. Yuu is a little surprised by the unexpected person, but the voice is different from Agafon. A lovely voice can be heard from Agafon's head, exactly from the thing sticking to the back of his head. Two feathers on a small body that fits in the palm of a hand with hair that looks like the sky at sunset. The identity is the little fairy Akane.

「At last you've finally shown a chance. Take this! 『Waterblade』!!」

Akane's chanting activates the second rank spirit magic 『Waterblade』. Although it's second rank magic, the water blade that appeared was over ten meters wide.

「Oh, not bad Akane」

In front of the imminent water blade, Yuu praises Akane. When Yuu takes a big breath, he activates 『Breath』. The water blade is brittle and dissipated by the breath that begins to cover the compressed air with magic. At that time, the water spirits, who helped to form the water blade, float in the air while shining. When the water spirits came as it was to Yuu, it was dancing.

「H, Hey! What's wrong! You guys, you've cut corners just because Yuu was the opponent!」

Akane made a noise when the water spirits took back their hands. She felt angry in her heart and flew to Yuu´s side and chased after the water spirits.

「We will end it here for today」

It is the signal of the end of the training. Rearguards will use magic to recover those who are injured. The injured people are a good practice platform for treatment with white magic and spirit magic.

It was Agafon and the others who were waiting for Yuu who sent Mago, Viktor and the others off to return to the island. The purpose was to get Yuu to practice, and there was also a desire to show their growth and get praised by Yuu. After that, it is a round-table discussion in the name of the usual reflection society.

「King, how was my 『Magic fist』?」

The wolfman shakes his tail and asks Yuu.

「It was pretty good to punch with your fist attached with lightning. Taran, what do you wear except lightning?」

「No, in fact, I can only use lightning magic」

The wolfman――Taran has as his 1st job 『Beast warrior』 and as 2nd job 『Magic fist-fighter』. When he took his 2nd job, he chose 『Magic Fist-fighter』 just because Yuu used 『Magic Fist』, even though the job crystal displayed 『Beast Fist-fighter』 which is the superior job of 『Beast Warrior』.

「This fellow, he is an idiot who chose 『Magic Fist-fighter』 despite being a 『Beast Fist-fighter』」

「Agafon! Who's an idiot!」

「I don't care what you're talking about Taran. King, are Nina-san and others still in the labyrinth?」

「Yes, it looks like they're having trouble with a goblin queen and goblin emperor」

When the story of the labyrinth comes out of Yuu's mouth, those who are interested in, which are Agafon and adventurers, suddenly begin to feel nervous.

「Emm, there is something I want to ask king」

「What Agafon. You have a bad feeling?」

「Yeah. Agafon has a bad feeling」

「What, you damn cat! Ah. What I want to ask why does the king continue to be an adventurer?」

「Is it so strange that I'm an adventurer?」

「I've heard from Namari, that you've got a vast amount of treasures that the old dragon had accumulated when you defeated the old dragon, right?」

「Yeah, I got it. That's a treasure that I can't use even if I'm reborn a hundred times and live playing around. Do you know? The old dragon Maguranars is a monster that was alive before the Udon Kingdom was founded. I had a hard time defeating it......」

Agafon and the other's eyes sparkle. They are like little children who yearn for heroes and adventures.

「So why are you going to continue to be an adventurer? I mean, it's okay if you don't work anymore」

「I think I'm still working more than anyone else in the country」

The people around stare at Agafon. After Yuu's talk ends with those unnecessary words, Agafon will be poured with abuses by everyone after this. Flavia, who was next to him, crawled on Agafon's buttocks and Akane who was straddling his head fell on Agafon's ears.

「Idede, it was bad. Oh, king, please continue the story」

「What. Shake it from yourself. Why do I continue to be an adventurer? It might be because it's exciting. It is a labyrinth that has nothing to do with it, and I and Russ who have captured it for the first time. 『The Goblin Forest』 is said to have sixteen layers, but the layer where Nina and the others are now is the 19th」

「Eh, the lowest layer is the 16th?」

「Agafon, shut up. We can't hear the story」

「Guu. You, don't be so proud on someone's head」

Akane slaps Agafon's head. Akane was a rare individual among the fairies. Other fairies don't come down very much from the courtyard of the mountain castle, but Akane goes down actively and participates in training with Agafon and the rest. Sometimes she finds Momo, listens to how to use magic, finds Agafon and experiments with magic. Because of that, Akane had ranked up from a fairy into a high fairy.

「There was more down there. I don't know if it wasn't found or the labyrinth grew up, but no one has set foot in it. If you're an adventurer, you will find such layers. I'm going to be excited and explore for about three days in a row. Actually, Nina and others are searching without sleeping」

Even after that, Yuu talks about how dangerous and attractive the adventurer's profession is. Those words were enough and seductive to drive Agafon into an adventure. The same was true for others, like Flavia and Akane, who were also hearing Yuu´s story while having shining eyes.

「You can still talk a little bit」

Agafon still seems to want to hear stories.

「I'll have a discussion with the chiefs after this, so you guys have to eat lunch on your own」

On Yuu's side, the maids were preparing food. As usual, everyone would like to have lunch with Yuu here, but unfortunately, Yuu has a meeting with the chiefs today. While looking at Yuu who walks towards the village of the demon race, Taran roars.

「What's the matter with the chiefs... is it about that? King, will he give permission?」

「I don't know. If Odono admits, I couldn't be happier 」

「Alright, I've decided」

While listening to the conversation between Taran and the demon man, Agafon is firmly determined.
