nChapter 113

n「Ora!」

n

nImmediately after Dewitt-san’s signal, Raizel plunged straight towards me just as I thought . Whether it’s because he’s a beastman, his acceleration was faster that I imagined . But well, Allen and Elena are faster .

nWhen I took a step to the side, Raizel passed by me . It seems that he is unable to change his trajectory midway because of the speed . If it was Allen and Elena, far from changing a trajectory midway, they would ridiculously change the direction they are going in .

nWell, as expected wouldn’t comparing the two to Raizel be too pitiful for him?

n「Hoo~ you dodged that? But, that was just a fluke, wasn’t it? It’s not over yet!」

nRaizel who turned around had an expression of surprise for a moment, but thinking that it wasn’t my intention to dodge but just a fluke, he showed an unyielding smile and plunged towards me yet again .

n「《Air Shot》」

nWith the intention of a test, I shot a light magic at the plunging Raizel .

n「――Guah!!」

n「…… Huh?」

n『…………』

nHowever, the magic I shot splendidly landed on Raizel directly and he got blown off backward . And then, he crushed into the practice ground’s wall and stopped moving .

nI intended to burn a little bit of his skin, so I thought of driving Raizel into the corner bit-by-bit, but…… it appears I finished it in an instant .

nAlthough it was noisy until a little while ago, the surroundings are currently wrapped in silence .

n「O, oy!?」

nDewitt-san rushed over to Raizel in panic and confirmed his well-being .

nHe’s fine, right? He’s alive, right? Rather, I don’t recall shooting such strong magic!?

n「…… He’s just unconscious . There are no conspicuous external wounds either」

n

n…… I, I’m glad~

nI was seriously relieved by Dewitt-san’s words .

n「Victor, Takumi!」

nDewitt-san who confirmed that Raizel only fainted declared my victory .

nHe then called people over and had Raizel carried away .

nStill…… how did it become like this? I really planned on using magic very lightly . I mean, I just tried to test it out .

nAnd yet, a person with a considerable strength got splendidly blown away .

nEven after trying to find out the reason, I can’t come up with anything~ Now then, what do I do……

n「He insta-killed『Ash Wolf』?」

n「…… Seriously?」

n「Can someone be this strong!? It’s a trickery!」

n「What was that magic just now!?」

n「Uoーーー! I would have made a killing if I had bet on him~~~」

nI heard surprised and confused voices from the surroundings .

nEven though nobody predicted my victory, Raizel has been dealt with in an instant instead . There are several people looking at me with stupefaction .

nBut, the last person! Don’t you grieve about not making a profit!

n「「Onii~chan, victory~!」」

n「Oopsy」

nAllen and Elena rushed over and jumped towards me with a great vigor .

n「Hey, Takumi-san!! What was that? What just happened? Aren’t you tremendously strong!! Why didn’t you say anything!?」

nCarna who rushed over a little later came with a barrage of questions .

n「W, wait, Carna, calm down~」

n「Calm down, you say? That’s obviously impossible, isn’t it? There’s no way I can calm down after seeing you defeat Raizel so easily!」

nCarna is too excited as I can’t seem to be able to calm her down .

n

n

nFar from that, she grabbed me by the collar and vigorously shook with me .

n「「Calm down~!」」

n「Eh?」

n「Allen? Elena?」

nWhile a little bit troubled about Carna, Allen and Elena who were in my arms frowned a little and fired slightly stronger words . Carna was dumbfounded by the two’s words .

nI also couldn’t hide my surprise at the two’s unusual behavior .

n「「Calmed down~?」」

n「…… Y, yes . I calmed down . T, thank you?」

n「「Un」」

nWhen Carna calmed down, the two showed whole-faced smiles .

n「Allen, Elena」

n「「Uniyu?」」

n「What’s up with you two all of sudden?」

n「「Onii~chan, troubled~」」

n「Eh? Because I was troubled?」

n

n

nAllen and Elena told Carna to calm down because I was troubled?

nUwa~ I’m impressed a little, but~~~

n「I see~ Allen, Elena, thank you~」

n「「Kya, kya」」

nI lowered Allen and Elena on the ground and patted the two’s heads with all my heart .

n「…… Umm, Takumi-san, I’m sorry . The shock I received was too devastating, so……」

n「Ah, yeah, don’t mind it . I didn’t tell you anything after all」

nThanks to the children, Carna has completely calmed down and regained presence of mind .

n「Seriously . It’s me who got you involved in this strife, but I wouldn’t be this shaken up if you told me at least a little! I was really worried because I’m aware of Raizel strenght」

n「Ah, sorry about tha――」

n――Bang!!

nJust when I was trying to apologize to Carna, the practice ground’s door vigorously opened and a woman in her forties dressed in the guild staff member outfit rushed inside in a flustered state . After looking restlessly around, she walked towards us .

n「Huh? Why are you so fluste――」

n「Oh my, Carna . It seems it turned into something troublesome . However, we will talk later . I have no time to talk with you at the moment」

nThat woman seems to be Carna’s acquaintance . Well, she’s the guild’s staff member so it might be only given that they are acquaintances . But, the woman avoided talking with Carna .

nAnd then――

n「Are you Takumi-san? Were you perhaps in Bailey before coming to the Royal Capital?」

nNodding after taking a look at my and the children’s faces, she spoke to us .

nShe, for some reason, knew that we came from Bailey .

n「You know about us?」

n「Yes, I do . I was told to immediately bring you to Guild Master were you to come here . Therefore, would you please come with me?」

n「Yes?」

nI have never been involved with the Royal Capital’s Guild Master, but…… why is a person I have never met concerned about me…… what is the talk going to be about?

n「N~ It’s only natural for you to have many questions, but we can’t talk about that in here . Therefore, please!!」

nI must have had a really curious expression . The woman put her hands together in front of her face and earnestly requested for us to come with her .

n「…… Erm, you will explain when we move places, right?」

n「Of course . Everything will be explained properly」

n「I understand」

n「Really? Thank you!」

nWhen I acknowledged, the woman seemed very delighted .

n「Then, shall we go!」

n「Eh!? Do you really need to go right now?」

n「Yeah . Then, Carna, I’m sorry but I will be borrowing Takumi-san」

n「Ehh!? Wait a mo――」

n「Now, Takumi-san, let’s go」

nAfter the woman simply dismissed Carna, she urged us out of the practice grounds and brought us to the Guild Master’s office .
