Volume 15 - Prologue

I am now concentrating with all my might and facing the woman in front of me.

She's a cute little girl with a cute little forehead, but she've got a pressure on me that rivals that of a dark dragon.

Yulia made the first move.

「Haahhhh!」

I know that she uses feints. I've played against her many times.

Even so, I haven't been able to read her feint patterns.

It was hard for me to believe that she would have another new technique.

「There's an opening!」

Yulia half-turned her cutting edge and stepped straight into it.

「Tskk.」

I used my [Instantaneous Movement] and barely dodged the dangerous blow.

「Not yet!」

Yulia's next move, which she anticipated I would avoid. But I ducked the extending wooden sword with my skills again and jumped, kicking the floor.

「Kkuhh!」

The tables are turned.

Yulia spun her body around and once took my back, but I have [Eyes in the Back] I have no blind spot.

You can say that I won when I crossed my wooden sword and brought it into a contest of strength.

However, there is no way I can win if I go at it straightforwardly, so I grab the wooden sword with one hand and use [Train Molester].

「Hyaaa! Y-you brute!」

When Yulia was touched on the buttocks, she turned red like a boiled fish and went into a rage.

「Eat this, Waterfowl Sword Secret Moves! Flower Barrage!」 (TLN: Hana Renda 華連打)

A myriad of thrusts were unleashed. It was no longer possible to avoid them. So I don't avoid them.

*thud, thud, thud, thud*! The pain is intense, but I can endure it because I've built up a resistance to blows.

「Die, die, die, die, dieee!」

Yulia is still thrusting relentlessly, but phew, she's distracted by the attack, isn't she?

【Brush fiddling (Erotic)】

I used my skills and patted Yulia's flat chest with my wooden sword.

「Eekk!」

Yulia released the wooden sword and protected her own chest with both of her hands.

Kukuku, you let go of your defenses, huh?

I quickly extended my left hand to Yulia's lower body.

But then another wooden sword extended and struck my fingers.

「Ouch!」

「That's it! Winner, Alec!」

「I don't accept it! Ione-san! I have not yet surrendered.」

「You've thrown away your sword. If Alec touches you in a real fight like that, you don't stand a chance.」

「Kkuhh, It's a favoritism. Just because he's the party leader doesn't mean you should be more fair.」

「No, from my point of view, you've lost, Yulia.」

「Oh, no. Not even Master Fritz! You're going to stand on this pervert's sides!?」

Yulia pointed at me and said with anger in her voice.

「Well, I don't know if it's a sword fight, but if you think of it as another style of fighting, ......」

「Ehh?」

「Hahaha, well, the technique Alec used is not from the Welbard Sword. But if it was a place to show the beauty of sword dance, but in a serious fight, he was cornered to the point where he could not attack. Consider yourself defeated there, Yulia.」

Welbard-sensei says.

「......... YYes, sir. I'm sorry for my lack of diligence.」

「Hmm. Well, I'm not impressed with the way Alec relies on his HP to throw away his attacks as a swordsman.」

「Yes, I'll think about it some more.」

「That's the spirit. Well, let's take a break here.」

I went to the Welbard Dojo in the afternoon and worked up a good sweat again today.

「Alec, you're doing great, taking one from that forehead girl!」

Billy laughed at me, but it was because of the strenght of his level and skills

「I can't say I won that one.」

「Darn in, Alec's you're so cool!」

「Hmph, bleehh!」

Yulia sticks her tongue out at me and swears, but it looks like she doesn't like me very much.

I guess it's my inexperience that makes me attack her in an erotic way, even though she's not that beautiful.

I don't know if she's a brother or a brother pupil, it doesn't matter which, but I don't want to poison her.

It's not like she's that beautiful.

But her posture, or rather her reaction, is quite interesting.

「Aleeec! Where are you?」

I hear Saki calling me, so I answer.

「I'm here, I'm inside!」

「Oooh, there you are. The guild has received some information. It's that Magician.」

「Okay. Tell me more.」

I said that, but Billy was standing next to me and overheard it, so I guess I shouldn't do it here.

「Sensei, I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I'll have to call it a day.」

「Oooh, I see. I'll see you later.」

「What the hell? I mean, sensei, why is it okay for Alec to slack off and not okay for me?」

「Alec is an adventurer, and he's here to learn all about swordsmanship. That's not where you're headed, Billy.」

「No, well, I want to be a strong swordsman.」

「That's the point.」

「Now, if you'll excuse me.」

「Umu, come again.」

Meena, Serina, and Ione also left the dojo with me.

「That's enough, Saki. Tell me the rest.」

「Yeah, we've already talked about that Magician going to Grandsword, right?」

「Yeah.」

A mysterious black magician who seems to be related to the white bird monster.

We put a bounty on him two weeks ago for his perverted actions against Serina. Thanks to that, I had already gotten the information to the point where he was on a carriage heading to the Kingdom of Grandsword.

I was not willing to go to Grandsword because of the suspicion that I was going over the king's head,.......

「I was able to track him down after that.」

「Where he goes?」

「Further west, to the magical kingdom of Austin.」

「That makes sense.」

I can't be certain yet, but it's probably someone from there.

If it's a summoning spell that can summon bosses over level 40, the number of users is probably limited.

「We haven't dived in the dungeon for a while, and I think it's time to go somewhere else to prepare for the black sea anemone.」

The black sea anemone that Saki refers to is a powerful enemy that will appear in Vernia in a year's time, and we are destined to be annihilated by that unknown boss.

I'm sure I witnessed it at the 「Door」 where I could see the future on the 「Labyrinth of No Return」.

「That's right.」

I'd like to find out more about magic swordsmen, and if it's a magic kingdom, I can learn some new magic there.

「It's decided then.」

Serina nodded and seemed to agree.

I told all the members, and we quickly prepared to leave.

「Please let me come with you.」

Olivia, the priest, came and said.

「M-Mother? Why?」

Noel was upset.

「Hmm, I guess because I'm worried about my son. ......」

Olivia said, looking at my lower body. A different son.

「I'm on my own now! Captain Lancelot also gave me the name of a survey in the west.」

Noel, who doesn't know anything about it, replies earnestly.

「Well, now, that's fine. I'm also on a pilgriMagician to the west, you know?」

「Sigh, it can't be helped. Alec-san, is it okay?」

「Of course.」

I'm happy to accept it. If Noel knew about the relationship between me and Olivia, he would have a stroke, but she was a widow now, and it was okay for her to remarry.

I have no intention of marrying Olivia, but if Noel finds out, I'll explain it to him. It's a sincere relationship.

「All right, let's go!」

As the ten carriages departed, there was someone blocking the road.

「Tsk, what is it? Hmm? Alec, the kid from the Dojo is here.」

「What? Billy?」

I left the carriage, hoping that Ione would scold him if he insisted on taking him with me, but it was Yulia who was there.

「Hmph!」

「What, are you seeing me off?」

「No, I'm not! Welbard-sensei told me that it was a good opportunity for me to follow Alec and get some warrior training. ......」

「Hou~.」

He gave me a nice parting gift. I'm sure he's figured out by now that I've been messing around with girls a lot, so he's given me the green light.

「Hmm, Yulia, I can't guarantee your safety if you follow this guy. I mean, I'm pretty sure he's going to poison you and make you suffer badly.」

Serina gave her a friendly explanation.

「It's like that, but even I can protect myself, at least. If the sensei doesn't restrain me, I'll be able to get rid of the poison fangs separately.」

Assassins, huh?

「Oh, come on, Yulia. Just so I'm clear, the sensei told you to follow me, didn't he? Then if you kill me, you'll be disobeying your teacher's teachings at that point.」

「Hmph, it's part of my training to beat you to a pulp.」

「Houh. Well, that's one way of thinking about it. That's fine. I'll go along with your training. Now get in the carriage.」

「Thank you. At least you won't be scratching your head in the middle of the night.」

「Uwahh. Yulia, you should really think about protecting your own chastity first, okay?」

「That's none of your business, Serina-san.」

「It's kind of like I'm looking at the old me. I can't stand it. ......」

Serina seems to have realized that it's useless to stopped me any longer, and kuku, I'm looking forward to the future.
