Part 10

Sasala bowed very deeply.

「S, sorry……Are you hurt anywhere?」

Diablo was disheartened.

「I’m surprised. This is the first time I’ve been overwhelmed this much. I suppose I should say as expected of a Master Swordsman. I have nothing but admiration for you.」

「No way……I, I have no merit other than swinging a sword.」

She shrunk her small body even more.

Diablo bit his lip.

He felt that the conceit he had up until now was smashed up.

In the MMORPG Cross Reverie, he piled up complete victories to the point that he called himself a Demon King.

He often left behind records in events.

He defeated many formidable enemies with his superhuman reaction speed and judgement.

Moreover, this other world, for various reasons, should have had lower levels than the game overall.

「I was told by my Shishou, to expand my horizons! So now I am studying under a person called the Master Swordsman Graham who lives in the northern mountains.」

He had certainly called the Master Swordsman his Shishou.

Since Sasala said that she had taken over as Master Swordsman half a year ago, he probably wasn’t talking about her predecessor.

If he was inferior to the Great Demon King Modinalaam, and to the Master Swordsman, then it was just as he predicted. It is for that reason that Diablo felt the necessity to develop as a Warrior-type after all.

──Right now, I’m, extremely, excited!

It was a feeling of excitement like when he had first started the MMORPG Cross Reverie.
