Chapter 16: (2)

Youre wrong! That one wasnt good at all, you have to finish it off properly first! This is how you do it!

Tanaka stepped in between Suke-san and the earth lizard, and flashed his sword.

Fuu, dont worry, I used the back of my sword.

The earth lizard was cruelly cut in two, and rolled to the ground.

Oh! As expected of you-degozaru, Tanaka-dono. By the way, what is this I used the back of my sword thing-degozaru?

Even as he was astonished by Tanakas strike, Suke-san didnt forget to inquire about the catch-phrase that had been stated at the end of each attack.

Its a word of thanks to the monster that will later become our food. Its important, so be sure to remember it.

Understood-degozaru.

Thus, as Tanaka taught Suke-san mistaken customs of another world, the two continued to hunt monsters. The basic formation was: Suke-san acted as the main fighter, and Tanaka acted as the support. On the occasion Suke-san received injuries, Tanaka would use healing magic to fully heal him. Tanaka was afraid that healing magic might deal damage to Suke-san instead, as he was a skeleton, but that seemed to be not the case.

When he inquired about skeletons in the guild, it was said that they were existences akin to departed souls. Pragmatically speaking, it appeared that they were more like magical creatures that used bones as their medium. Therefore, should they receive injuries, they could similarly be healed with healing magic.

After a week of hunting monsters, Suke-sans fighting prowess had steadily improved, and so had Tanakas magic skill.

And then, when the two headed to the guild the next morning as usual, they met Echigoya, who had finally arrived at the town. As they both had something to talk to each other, they moved to a room in the guild to have a talk.

A winged beauty, huh.

Yeah, she one-sidedly attacked me, and didnt listen to anything I said at all.

Echigoya crossed his arms, as he lost in thought. Tanaka was consulting Echigoya about the attack of the winged beauty he experienced the other day.

There are numerous winged races among demons. But there shouldnt be any who are so belligerent, though.

Echigoya recalled his memories, and told Tanaka about the winged races that he knew of. However, what he told Tanaka didnt seem to match the matter of the other day.

Ah, by the way, the one I saved in that incident is Suke-san over here. Currently hes working together with me doing requests in the guild.

As it didnt seem like hed obtain the answer for the matter, Tanaka decided to introduce Suke-san to Echigoya. Suke-san straightened his body and greeted Echigoya at once.

Im Suke-degozaru. Ill be in your care from now on-degozaru.

Roger.

At any rate, Tanakas reason was a constructive one which was to train in magic, so Echigoya readily agreed to it.

Shoving the matter with the winged beauty to the guild, and getting permission to have magic training in return, Tanaka was brimming with excitement.

Thus, having settled their plan for extended magic training, Suke-san and Tanakas preparation was about to begin.
