Chapter 534 Ursula’s Brilliant Teaching
―――― The 88th day of training.
While Lilyvia is still spending her dreamy time (heavy labor) with the man she loves, a grueling training session is going on in the basement of the mansion.
「Okay, let’s take a break for five minutes.」
「T-Thank you very much...! Phew~, I worked up a good sweat~」
「Oh, despite your fatigue, you have a nice smile on your face.」
Immediately after bowing, Haruna fell on the floor. Ursula, the eldest of the Irygal Sisters, is standing in front of her, and she is also smiling. And at Ursula’s feet, there are also the figures of Chinatsu and Touko, who are collapsed and out of breath.
「Wheeze...! Sparring against the seven sisters was tough, but a serious fight against Ursula-san is even tougher...!」
「I-I’m going to die...! I’m going to die before I can exchange fists with Derris-danna...!」
「If you still can whine, it means that you still have a lot of energy left in you. Let’s raise the difficulty next.」
「Hiii!?」
「Ugh....」
「Yaay ♪」
The three girls have different reactions each. No, only Haruna’s reaction is clearly strange.
「Still, I’m surprised at how much you have grown. To be able to fight me this far is just like my stupid sisters, you know? As a human being, you should be proud of that.」
「T-Thank you.... But, can we win against Deris-san?」
「I’ve never seen Danna go all out, but in terms of ability, he’s on the same level as Nell-neesan, right?」
「Yes. I was told before I left Carmine that his job level is 11. I’m looking forward to fighting him!」
「I see. I doubted it when I heard that they defeated Mama, but if they were level 11, they still had a slight chance of victory. Seriously, they are short-lived human beings, how could they train to that level? Did they always go through the borderline between life and death, or was there a reason that forced them to do so...?」
「Yes! In Shishō’s case, I don’t think he would take the troublesome path on his own will. So I think it’s the latter!」
「「I agree.」」
The three girls are unanimous.
Contrary to Chinatsu’s hesitation, Haruna and Touko were motivated. They stood up on the spot and started stretching.
「Haruna and Touko seem to be motivated.... Well, how about you?」
「Sigh. I will do it even if you don’t ask me. But, what are we going to do during that period? I don’t think we can grow that fast if we just train normally, right?」
「That’s a foolish question. We’re going to exchange blows, of course!」
「...... Ha?」
「Did you not hear it? We’re going to exchange blows. You have to think of a way to overcome it while fighting me to death day and night. Unlike in normal times, you have to use your brain even if you don’t want to if you’re in a deadly situation. I will use my abilities to attack you seriously, and you should think and move for your dear lives. I think this is the best solution.」
「.........」
Perhaps because it was a muscle-brained solution more than she imagined, Chinatsu’s brain stopped for a moment.
「「I see, it’s easy to understand!」」
「Wait. You two, don’t accept it so easily.」
And she tries her best to stop the two who agreed to it. It seems that Chinatsu’s Danger Detection Skill keeps telling her to stop it. Meanwhile, new visitors appear at the training ground.
「That’s right, you should stop such stupid training. What if they die even before the fight? Good grief, I just took my eyes off you for a minute and this happened.」
「T-That voice is... Nell-shishō!?」
「I’m here too~」
「Alezel-san!」
When everyone looked toward the entrance where the voices were coming from, they saw Nell and Alezel there. Nell looked exasperated, and on the contrary, Alezel had an amused grin on her face.
「Ursula, I asked you to give them some guidance while I was away, but I don’t remember allowing you to be so unreasonable, you know?」
「Hmm, is that so? But Nell is Deris’s wife, right? I thought you would side with him.」
「It’s true that I’m his wife, but I’m also Chinatsu’s master. Being his wife doesn’t matter when it comes to making my disciple stronger. That’s why I brought his natural enemy with me.」
「Oh no~, don’t praise me so much~」
「「「.........」」」
‘They are both his natural enemies, right?’, the three girls thought so.
