――――The 87th day of training.

「After that, the gathered members struggled a lot to rule the world in an interesting way. Like the current members, we had so many different personalities that it was hard to get them all to agree on something! Old man Vakala and Maria gave up the first seat to me and made me the moderator, I had to deal with unfamiliar tasks and the members of the first generation, and the atmosphere at the meetings was more stagnant than it is now―― but even so, everything we did was new and fun. Every single one of them had a funny idea and did something out of the ordinary. I would never have been able to have such a spectacular experience if I had remained under the control of the hard-headed goddess. I think life is all about having fun. Don’t you think so, Deris?」

「...... Ha?」

Agalia, who had been talking about himself for a while, suddenly asked me so.

「Hey, I’m asking whether you agree with me.」

「Why the hell do I have to agree with you...?」

I am currently fishing at the Lake of Blood in Carmine’s territory, and for some reason, this guy has been following me from the beginning and has been sitting next to me on the edge of the lake since we arrived. And while I was fishing, he talked about the world’s god, another world’s heroes, the past demon king generation system, and so on. Just so you know, I’m not interested in such an old story, and I didn’t even ask him to tell me about it. Agalia was talking on his own, and I was just listening without saying a word.

「Ehh~, it was a very easy-to-understand episode of my extreme reluctance to take out the gate. Were you listening properly? Haruna’s return to her original world depends on my ability, you know?」

「Well, I’ve confirmed your trial. I’m going to have a serious fight against Haru, Chinatsu, and Touko, and the outcome doesn’t matter, right? Whoever wins, they will be able to go home.」

「Hey, have you forgotten the most important point? I’m telling you to fight seriously, you know? By serious, I mean fighting with the intention to kill each other. Deris, can you kill your beloved disciples?」

Agalia has a mean smile on his face. On the other hand, I let out a sigh.

「You don’t have to go out of your way to explain it to me, I know what you’re talking about. There’s no way Haru won’t be serious, and I will do it seriously on that day. I’m preparing for that.」

I took off my clothes and changed into the swimsuit I was wearing beforehand. If this much is enough to be considered madness, then you won’t be able to beat Haru’s madness. In her case, it seems that she would swim directly with her Doggan Staff in one hand.

「Oh, you were properly listening to my story....」

「I wasn’t interested, but it was brand new information. Still, it was somehow within my expectations, so it wasn’t that surprising.」

「I see.... By the way, what kind of items you hid at the bottom of this swamp?」

「Small tools that seem usable in the battle, and some doping drugs.」

「...... Deris, what do you think about a master who’s doping in the fight against the disciple? It’s not against the rules, but isn’t it a little too shameless?」

「Hahaha, you sure are saying something funny. It’s not like we’re doing sports, you know? What a wonderful master I am that I will do everything I can without worrying about my reputation!」

In contrast to Agalia, who was making an exasperated expression, I made a good expression. Unlike the past when my stats were overwhelmingly higher than the girls’, now they have grown to the extent that some of their stats exceed mine. I’m a support magician with low physical strength and agility, so I will have a hard time if I at least don’t do this much.

「Well, just think of this as my own sincerity. In Maria’s trial, I couldn’t retrieve them since I didn’t have the time to come here, but I’m staying in Carmine now. There’s no way I wouldn’t use this chance. Well then, I’m going to dive now.」

「Sure, be careful not to get a cramp while diving.」

「.........」

「Ah, he’s starting to do some stretching....」

After that, after meticulous warm-up exercises, I was able to obtain the desired items without incident.
