Now then. Having separated from the information room, news club group, we are back to having dinner with a small number of people.

so what now

“For now, just practice dodging.”

“For now practice against sword and fist? I’ll do sword with my staff, Suzumoto do fist.”

“Okay~”

Somehow the two pitiful people that have to group with me have steeled themselves, so I ended up going through terribly severe training the next day.

rip maito

Okay, good morning.

I’ve missed this fluffy smooth soft damp feeling.

After greeting Ketorami and Hanter, they went out for breakfast. Have a nice trip~.

Now then, I’ll also be preparing breakfast.

Today is bread. Bread with thinly sliced smoked meat that has been heated, vegetable soup and fruit ham, the usual pattern.

And as everyone woke up while I was preparing, we quickly finished breakfast.

start~

And training begins!

“Then, I’ll start hitting, so dodge.”

And the instant he said that, Hagasaki-kun swung his staff down at a terrifying speed and hit my head.

“Oufu.”

“I said dodge.”

“No, impossible impossible impossible! I couldn’t see that!”

It was seriously fast! I can’t see it! How do I dodge something I can’t see!? Impossible!

“……then work on being able to see it, okay, next.”

Next came from the side and hit me.

“Next.”

namu

But no matter how impossible it is, there is the possibility it will become a skill if I keep going and nothing will start unless I try.

For now, I carefully observed Hagasaki-kun and tried moving right by instinct.

……a clean hit landed from the right.

“……it will work out with more practice, probably.”

Mhm, it really would be nice if that is the case.

don’t bully the maid!

But practice is amazing.

Somehow, after practicing for 2 hours, I managed to dodge 1 every 10 times.

And even if not, I became able to dodge a clean hit.

But this is only for the case of the magician Hagasaki-kun. And he should also be holding back quite a bit.

A real swordsman would make faster and sharper attacks.

Ue~, scary scary.

But I can’t run. if I can at least draw one person away and keep dodging, I think Suzumoto can take them down one by one.

……whether the opponent will let me draw away a third of their fighting strength……let’s not think about that.

random magic from behind, maid down

“And next is fists, it should be easier to read than a sword, but it will come sequentially.”

“Ushaa! come at me!”

no game assist

I made, ate, fed them lunch and training continues.

This time Suzumoto is using his katana’s sheath to hit me.

This doesn’t work even if I’m focusing on his movements. When I think of dodging it has already hit.

The saving grace is that he is using some amazing godly move to kill the momentum the instant it hits so there isn’t much damage even when it hits.

But I still became covered in bruises, had Hagasaki-kun heal me with [Clear Stream] and kept practicing dodging until evening.

I’ve already given up on gaining a skill and the results of devoting myself to polishing my own player skill, somehow~, somehow~, if I don’t relax and try my best……with Suzumoto holding back, I actually became able to dodge 60% of his sword strikes.

……humans really have endless possibilities.

good progress……?

And until the gladiator tournament, I just kept training.

The saving grace is that once I became able to dodge, it became fun, so it wasn’t that much suffering.

I was receiving damage everywhere, so I got the [Greatly Increased Recovery Speed] skill. Wrong, that’s not it. That’s not it, give me a dodging skill!

it’s something

Other than that, we practiced coordination.

It took a lot of effort to find an effective way to fight with me included, mhm. But we found quite a good way to fight.

That is, [Cleaning]. If I can erase the blade of the opponent’s weapon with this, it’s perfect!

……just that, this method, if I started fighting with a feather duster and used [Cleaning], it will be plainly obvious I am an otherworld person.

This can also be said for the lullaby strategy for the first round of the Mono section, but this has already been solved.

Yes. It’s fine if I’m not suspicious. Basically, it’s fine if I can make it [That’s not skill just magic or a simple attack!] [Wh, whaaaat!?] right?

Then the lullaby strategy is simple. I just need to go with a staff.

….no……just no

So until the gladiator tournament, I got used to handling this spear duster and also made clothes easy to move around in for the Tri section.

This clothes are clothes purely specialised in defense.

A light jacket with a shirt and slim trousers. I chose knee-high boots for shoes.

And they are all made of pure white cloth with golden embroidery.

This golden thread is something I made from the knowledge gained from the [Compounder] skill.

By spinning thread while [compounding] [Prayer Song], oh my, plain unbleached fiber became shining gold thread!

……compounding a song, what kind of situation is this! is what I thought, but thanks to that, I managed to make strange clothes with super high defense, so I will accept it.

The effect is [Protection].

When I equip this, my defense is, behold, 3rd place together with Kariya in his chain mail!!

Uwah~, otherworld qualities are amazing.

when cloth is on par with chain mail….

And I made additions to everyone’s equipment, those that had manufacturing skills made new equipment, and as we did that, the day for the gladiator tournament finally arrived.

……will we be okay?
