“When I completed my training and was about to say goodbye to her, for some reason it turned out to be a violent goodbye.”

“When I completed my training and was about to say goodbye to her, for some reason it turned out to be a violent goodbye.”

Three years had passed since I started my training under Nagartinya. I had learned a lot of things, so let’s talk about those first.

First of all, Nagartinya had a more disappointing personality than I had thought. As an example, when I was about to take a bath, she said, “Do you want me to join you? No, let’s go in together!” When I got into bed to go to sleep, she seemed to have gone to bed first and started acting incomprehensibly, saying, “I’m going to sleep with you today.”

Naturally, there was no way I would allow such an outrage, and I had punished her in every way possible, but for the past three years, she had not shown any signs of changing her mind. In fact, she had become less and less reserved with each passing day, and I had even begun to harbor a slight fear that I might lose something important someday.

However, despite such unfortunate Nagartinya, her fighting ability was real, and she had been challenging me to a fight for the past three years, but I had yet to win a decent one.

For now, there was no end to what I wanted to say about her, but if she would not change her mind after I said more, I would have to leave it at that, so I stopped complaining about that loli hag and let you see the results of my training over the past three years. Here it is, one, two, three.

[Condition]: None

Well, it was a status that I no longer consider to be human, but I would like to explain it in turn. Let’s start with my overall status.

First of all, you might have noticed that the parameters were described in a strange way, though my physical and magical power were much higher than before. I found out later that the growth of the stats starts from F- and reached its limit at S+, but to raise the limit, a skill called [Status Limit Break] was required.

This skill changed the S+ stats into SF- stats, which allows the new parameters to grow. Once the SF- was raised to SS+, the next step was to raise the stats to SSF- by increasing the Status Limit Break to level 2.

And here was where it gets complicated, because growing it to SSA+ should in turn have grown it to SSS-, but it didn’t, and it changed to SSAF-. In other words, to make the parameter SSS-, it was necessary to grow it once to SSA+ and then grow the next SSAF-, the F- one to A+, and only then could it grow to SSS-.

If I were to express it in letters only, it would be SSA+> SSAF-> SSAA+> SSS-. ……It was a bit complicated, but that seems to be the system in this world.

As for the skills, there were so many skills that evolved and combined that it was hard to know what was what anymore, and the situation could be described in one word: chaos. Therefore, I would like to use one phrase to describe these skills without referring to them in passing. The phrase was……”I’m so much stronger now”.

Last but not least, it seemed that Nagartinya was called the “Great Sage” in this world, and I was practically her disciple. Yes, I had “become” her disciple.

I was humiliated to be a disciple of a half-elf who was corrupt in every way, and I wanted to firmly reject the occupation, but the system of this world was such that it could not be helped. That might sound insistent, nevertheless “it is what it is”.

“Damn it, I’d love to punch her in the face, but even I’d have a hard time putting one in that old hag. ……Seriously, there are some monsters out there.”

Even now that I had achieved an overall improvement in my abilities, I still had not reached the point where I could peek into Nagartinya’s status. This was despite the fact that my Analysis skills had also evolved into Super Analysis since then.

I had mixed feelings, not knowing whether to be happy or disappointed that there was a being stronger than me, but I decided to put my training to rest for now and return to the city.

“Rolando-kyun, are you really leaving? If you’re really going back then……at least give me your first tim—ouch, ouch ouch.”

“I warned you not to call me that, didn’t I? Don’t you remember my iron will burst into flames if you ever call me that again?”

“It hurts, it hurts, Rolando-kyun. As usual, you’re showing too much affection—ouuch, wait, my face will seriously get crushed!”

“It’s just right for you to get crushed once.”

“Isn’t that too cruel!?”

And so that exchange had been going on for three years, like this. What do you think……? Annoying and frustrating, right?

I was happy to be trained by her and became stronger in the past three years. But as much as I was happy that I became stronger, I also think that it was a mistake to train with her.

If I were to explain this feeling with an example, it would be similar to the feeling you get when you were given a job that pays well but was not worthwhile at all. The pay was good, so as long as you did the assigned work, you would have no trouble making a living, but since you had no motivation to do the work at all, your work attitude would be terrible.

At any rate, if I only looked at the fact that my ability had greatly improved over the three years, there was no doubt that it had been a fruitful three years, so I forced myself to focus on that alone and convince myself that everything had come to an end.

“Then, I’m going to go now, so is Nagartinya really going to stay here?”

“Whaat? Are you worried about me?”

“Well, yes, I am, and I’m a little sad to leave you for some reason.”

“Wha-what are you talking about-zuu!? A sudden surprise attack is a foul-zuu!”

“That strange tone of yours is a surprise to me…”

When I said my honest opinion, she turned red in the face and started talking with a strange ending. ….Is it the dullness of her previous life? Or is it the northeastern dialect?

It was my honest feeling that I felt sad to part with Nagartinya, but I would like to say one thing about this. I did not have any special feelings for her.

Now that three years had passed, my body had grown up and that thing had already awakened, but I had never once fallen for her temptations. I had almost been kissed by surprise when I woke up from sleep, and once or twice she had stormed into the bath in a bathing suit, but I had done everything in my power to make a physical trial against her actions.

Most of those times had ended in a blank, but sometimes, as in this case, I was able to pull off a surprise move, and I believe it has served as a deterrent to some extent.

During the training, I got to know most of her personality and tried several times to invite her to the outside world because I knew she was not a bad person and I was willing to work with her as a fellow reincarnated person, but her reply was always “no”.

I didn’t know what kind of life Nagartinya had in this world because I didn’t actually witness it. She had thoughts and feelings that only she could understand, so I could not disregard her decision to stay here, but I also wondered if that was really the right thing to do.

“It’s all right. I’ve been here all my life. I’m just going to live a slow life by myself again. How’s that, isn’t that just like the main character in a novel! Hahahaha!”

While saying that, Nagartinya, smiling pleasantly, did not show the slightest sign of loneliness. It seemed that she was not trying to be a pushover.

“Well, then I can leave here without hesitation. Once again, Nagartinya, thank you for taking care of me.”

“You’re welcome.”

While saying that, I hugged her. I could feel the sweet smell and warmth peculiar to women from her slender body. Then, as I continued to put strength into both arms, she began to suffer.

“Wa-wait, Rolando-kyun? I know you feel sad, but could you please loosen up a little? I-it hurts.”

“No, come to think of it, you’ve taken care of me in so many ways…so I thought I should return the favor. With that said, thank you very much, and prepare yourself!”

“Wa-wai—gyaaaaaa sabaori is forbiddennnn!” (+)

It was a bit of a violent goodbye, but it turned out to be a very typical goodbye for us. I ran out of the barrier she had put up, with Nagartinya lying on the ground twitching and convulsing behind me.
