Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless

Manon's reward and revenge match

***---***

Her cheeks are blushing, her cheeks are puffed up, and she glares with tears in her eyes ... What is this cute creature?

Is it a kiss with cherry-colored lips sharpened? Manon-chan, do you want me to kiss you?

"Kent's stupid ..."

"Uh ... I'm sorry."

In this case, it's unavoidable that even if you're called stupid, you're likely to get burned.

I got out of the bath and sat at the dinner table at Oren-san's house, but right now, I'm in the middle of a reward called a sermon from Manon, a dish that seems to be more delicious than my previous ones, I'll eat it.

"What are you grinning at ... ecchi ..."

"Guu ... I'm sorry."

If you say that, I will remember the scene I saw earlier.

"I can't believe that there's a girl in there, but you're coming in so proudly ..."

"It's reasonable ..."

"In the first place, it's rude that you didn't even notice that I'm a girl."

"No, you're right ..."

But Manon always wears a big shirt, and at first glance you can't tell at all.

Well, there is a difference in body shape ...

"Well, I may be small ..."

"As you say ... no, no, it's not ..."

"Keeeent ..."

"No, no! Well, it's a little small but there's a bulge ..."

"Don't say it's little!"

"Uhi ... I'm sorry!"

"Uhaha, Manon, forgive him with that. Kent wasn't doing it on purpose, and the food is going to get cold."

"Okay ... I'm sorry, Kent."

"Yes, I'm reflecting on that, Manon-san."

"Is that really true ..."

I'm sorry, I enjoyed being preached at rather than being remorseful.

Oren-san didn't think Manon was a girl, did he?

You told us to take a bath together ... Well, I thought it was a little tasty, so I won't pursue it.

Thanks to Oren-san's arrangement, I can finally have dinner.

I had the sausages and pasta served on the platter set aside, and I immediately dug in.

"Wow, this sausage is delicious!"

The lightly roasted sausage has a perfect balance of herbs when chewed, further enhancing the taste of the meat.

"Oh, it looks like it suits your taste ... Don't hesitate to eat a lot."

"Yes, thank you."

In Volzard, many homes make homemade sausages, and each home has a different blend of herbs and a different taste.

Oren-san's wife seems to be good at cooking, and the seasoning of the stew is also wonderful, and my fork doesn't stop.

When I suddenly noticed, Manon was looking as if she was amazed.

"Kent, you eat a lot ... where do you put that in that body?"

"Well ... Manon who says that doesn't seem to eat much ..."

"No, I was overwhelmed when I saw Kent's eating behavior ..."

"But if you don't eat properly, you can't get bigger ... no, you can't get stronger."

"Keeeent ..."

"Uh, I'm sorry ... but eating is the basis of building your body, so if you don't eat properly, you will get tired and you won't get any strength."

Oren-san nods at my words.

"It's exactly as Kent says. Kent and Manon are still growing up, so if you work hard, your body won't grow unless you eat well. Don't hesitate to eat!"

"Yes, I will."

Manon also reigned in her temper and resumed eating.

Yeah, delicious foods are kind to people.

After that, Oren-san told us various things about the work of a gardener, and also talked about plants that grow naturally in the suburbs of Volzard.

If your rank in the guild goes up, you will be able to enter the forest and collect herbs and materials, but if you do not have the knowledge, you will not be able to collect efficiently, so train your skills and accumulate knowledge at the same time. So I was told.

That's right, when it comes to collecting herbs in light novels and games, it's an image that anyone can do, but if you don't know the types of herbs and where they grow naturally, you can't even collect them.

"Oren-san, where should I go to study that?"

"Well, it's taught in the guild."

"Eh ... is there such a class?"

"Yes, it's quicker to go to an actual craftsman for craftsmanship, but herbal collection is an adventurer's job in the first place, so it's only the guild that teaches it for free."

"So that's it ..."

Once I was released from Donovan-san's curse, I thought I would take a class once.

I was told various stories, and it was a complete treat, and the time to return was a little late.

"Manon, I'll send you home since it's late."

"Well ... but my house is in the fourth section, so it's the opposite direction of Kent's boarding house."

"Yeah, it's okay ... that? Did I tell Manon where the boarding house was?"

"Eh? uh, yeah ... I think it was the lunch break of the first class ... I remember hearing it ..."

Mufufu ... a panicking Manon is cute, isn't she?

Of course, I didn't talk about the location of the boarding house, and I was told that they were following me the other day.

"Oh, that's right ... well, I'll send you home because it's dangerous for a girl to walk alone, well, I can't really be relied on ..."

"isn't it more dangerous for Kent to send her home?"

"What do you mean, Oren-san, I'm basically a gentleman."

"Well then, I'll send Manon properly."

"Yes, I understand."

It's completely rude, isn't it? There are only about 80% of impure motives.

It's a lie, I'll send her properly, once I send her, I can always move in the shadows to peep ... No, I won't do it, it's true.

On the way to her house, Manon asked me straightforwardly.

"Hey ... how did Kent get stronger so quickly?"

"Well? Well, that's ..."

Hmm ... grabbing the sleeves of my shirt and looking up at me with your eyes. This pose ... is too destructive.

It seems like everything is going to fall apart.

"Um ... I had Gilik-san train with me... I wonder ..."

"Well, Gilik-san, it's that Gilik-san?"

"I don't know if there is another Gilik-san, but it's probably the Gilik-san Manon's thinking of."

"Why is Gilik-san training with you ..."

From Manon's words, it seems that Gilik has a bad reputation, or that he wants a lot of attention.

I told Manon, who was wondering, what happened last week.

"Hey ... there was such a thing, well, then you might get stronger ..."

"Ah ... that's right!"

"Hmm? What's wrong Kent?"

"Maybe we will practice tomorrow."

"Eh? Why?"

Tomorrow is light day, so maybe Muell-san will take a higher-ranked class.

If so, the probability that the Peeping Dog Gilik will appear in the training ground is quite high.

When I talked about that, Manon was convinced.

"Maybe if Donovan-san appears when Gilik-san and I are together, I think we will be forced to practice."

"I see ..."

"Would you like to join Manon?"

"Ehhh ... me too?"

"Don't you want to be stronger?"

"Uh ... that's right ..."

"Maybe you can take the lead from Ridner and the others."

"Ah ... hmm ... yeah, I'll try it!"

"Then, let's meet in the guild at the same time as yesterday."

"Yeah, looking forward to working with you, Kent."

We just arrived at Manon's house, so we parted there and I returned to the boarding house.

Of course, instead of walking back honestly, I dived into the shadow of the back alley and moved to near the boarding house at once.

[ Kent-sama, that's not a bad idea. ]

[ Well, if I say it's the result of training with Gilik, I don't have to reveal the special training with Reinhardt. ]

When I returned to the boarding house, I briefly reported to Amanda-san what happened today and headed to my room.

When I returned to my room, I prepared my bed so that I could come back anytime, and then headed to the special training ground in the Devil's Forest.

To be honest, I'm still tired from the gardener work, but I can't help but take special training because there may be a rematch with Gilik tomorrow.

With Reinhardt as a training partner, we will continue to spar.

Of course, I got messed up, but on the other hand, I can't even find a clue on how to counterattack, but I have no intention of giving up.

No matter how many times I was hit, struck, and sent flying, I stood up with self-healing and guts.

In the end, the training ended without a single effective hit this evening.

After that, let's practice magic and then go home.

"Even so, even though this is the Devil's Forest, there aren't many monsters coming out, right?"

[ That's because this me keeps them away. ]

"Well, since I'm scared of goblins and kobolds I can't get close to them."

[ That's right. ]

Certainly, if Reinhardt doesn't hide his aura, half-baked monsters won't be able to come near.

That's why the number of people approaching is limited.

Also, a rock ogre has appeared.

"One, two ... six, seven, more than before ... I'll take three, and the rest are for Reinhardt and Basten?"

[ We are playing around when Kent-sama is asleep, so it's okay to get rid of everything. ]

"Is that right? Then, if I miss them, cover me ... I'm going."

Before this, it took about 3 seconds to shoot a light element attack magic, but it was worth the practice, and now I can shoot in 1 second per shot.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, this is the last!"

[ Well done! I don't have a turn ... No, no, what can I say ... It's a nasty attack. ]

"Hmm ... but I feel like there is still room for improvement ..."

[ Improve it even more? ]

"Yeah, I think it's good to increase the rate of fire, weaken or strengthen the power, or extend the irridiation time ..."

[ As expected, Kent-san, I am impressed with your aspirations. ]

"No, it's the power that I'm able to use, so I just want to be able to use it well."

In fact, this power is something that I had a hard time getting, so as Donovan-san said, if you can't master it, you can't really say that you've become stronger.

[ Kent-sama, we will collect the magic stones, wash up and take a rest for tomorrow. ]

"Yeah, thank you, I'll do that."

The water in the river is already cold, but if you apply self-healing, you can warm your cold body.

If you go back to the boarding house and go to bed, the morning will come soon after you dream.

[ Kent-sama, it's about time to get up. ]

"Hmm ... Hmm ... Hmm ..."

I've gotten used to the special training life so much that I don't have to make an eerie moan from the morning.

I prepare for the morning as usual, and after breakfast, head to the guild.

Now, let's get a hit on the hateful Gilik today.

When I went to the guild, Manon came first and was waiting.

"Good morning! Kent."

"Good morning, Manon."

Ugu ... When I found out that Manon was a girl, I'm conscious of something strange.

The bulge of the chest is modest, but it's definitely a beautiful girl.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Kent."

"Well, no, no ... I mean, Manon is cute today ..."

"What! What are you talking about, I'm cute ... that's ..."

Oh? Even though she's a girl, she's not used to being told that she's cute.

She's getting bright red and panicking ... What's this cute creature, can I kiss it, kiss, kiss ... can I?

In front of the bulletin board where the requests are posted, it seems to be very crowded this morning, and if you look closely, Ridnel and the others are being squeezed again.

Is that the psychology of people who want to line up when they see the crowd?

Or do you purely want to save money as soon as possible?

And by the wall away from the bulletin board, he was there, a dog with a sloppy tail.

"Good morning, Gilik-san."

"Hmm? Oh, Chibisuke ..."

"Is Muell-san in a class?"

"Aah? What if she is?"

"No, I'm just asking, I'm sorry ..."

"Wait a minute!"

"Gi ... my neck ..."

As I expected, I was grabbed by the neck when I gave a light bow and tried to walk away to the training ground.

"I'll go with you ... I'll keep an eye on you so you don't interfere with Myu-san's class."

"Hey, I won't ... Gue ... Neck ..."

Well, I'll say it many times, but I'm not a cat, so don't grab my nape and hang it.

Ah, the onee-san's at the counter are giving me a warm look.

Gilik went to the training ground with me hanging in his grasp and stopped at the outside of the door.

"Good morning, Donovan-san."

"Oh, good morning Kent, are you going to practice with Gilik again?"

"No, I was just told to ..."

"Ba, Bastard, this was your plan!"

Uhyahyahya, it's too late to notice it now.

I thought that if Gilik grabbed me and moved to the training ground, he would grab Donovan-san's attention.

"Today, Manon wanted to participate, is that okay, Donovan-san."

"Well, it's impressive to invite friends, of course it's OK."

"Just now, what have you been talking about ..."

"What just now, do you have any complaints?"

"No, no, I don't ..."

Uhyahyahyahya, he's trying to hide his tail in his crotch again.

I'm someone that borrows the power of a tiger, but it's really fun!

"Okay, Kent and Manon get your armor ready, and also bring a wooden sword for Gilik."

"I understand."

Manon seems to be using the warehouse armor for the first time, so I taught her.

Mufufufu, I feel a little senior.

"Ke, Kent, after all I ..."

"It's okay, it's okay, once you've done it with someone who looks scary, you don't have to be nervous when you're dealing with someone of hte same level. Besides, you don't have to think about it because it's natural for you to lose to an opponent like that.

"Well ... that's right, yeah, I'll do my best."

I equip the armor and return to the training ground with Manon.

I hand the wooden sword to Gilik and I faced him first.

"Kent, show me how much you've improved. Gilik, ready?"

"I understand, I just have to do it ..."

"I'm counting on you!"

I held the wooden sword in gratitude to Gilik who answered in a bad mood.

At the time of the last lesson, I had a dagger-sized wooden sword, but today it is a normal-sized wooden sword.

It may not be a difference in ability that can be filled by extending the reach, but it should still be a little different.

I swing the tip of the sword slightly to the right of my view and confront Gilik.

Like last time, Gilik lowered the wooden sword in his right hand and did not hold it properly.

"What's wrong, come on quickly."

"Hey!"

"Too slow ... oh?"

Just like last time, when I stepped in while swinging up my wooden sword, Gilik fired a yakuza kick, which is as expected.

I increase the speed one step to avoid his kick and step in closer.

"This guy ... oh?"

"Daaaa!"

The wooden sword that Gilik swung down in a hurry was parried at a higher speed, and the wooden sword struck his defenseless body.

"Guu ... Bastard!"

"That's enough, winner Kent!"

"Yeah!"

I did it, even though he was completely off guard, I hit a blow to Gilik.

Oh, Muell-san is jumping happily.

Manon ... that? She's glaring at something, but why?

"OK, next, Manon."

"Yes ... oh, please, please ..."

I wonder if I made a mistake, Gilik, who was unaware of me, has an angry appearance, and Manon is completely reluctant.

"What's wrong? Come on!"

"Huh, hey ..."

No, it's impossible, I know it's frustrating, but let's think about it for a moment.

"Gilik! Do it properly ..."

"Ku ... I know ... Oh, I'll do it properly, well then come on."

"Yes ... please ..."

Wow, Manon, she's sweating ... but maybe it will be a good experience in a way.

After regaining his composure, Gilik parried Manon a few times and then tapped her head to decide the game.

"OK, next, Kent."

"Yes, please."

"Be prepared for this ..."

Oops ... Gilik is ready, I think I have to do it with the intention of dying.

Gilik's stance seems to be a stance in which the sword is swung up to the upper right with the left shoulder in front, and the power of the blow is seen in the stance.

For me, who lost the match against Yzak, if I attack him head-on, I would be blown away.

Still, I held it in the same way as Gilik and showed my will to hit it head-on.

As soon as I set it up, Gilik exposed his teeth and gave a terrifying laugh.

"Interesting, Chibisuke, I admit you have guts ..."

"No, I'll ask you to recognize my skill ..."

I'm trying my best, but I couldn't help saying it.

During the special training in the Devil's Forest, the power of Reinhardt, which is occasionally shown, seems to be seriously squeezed.

Gilik is said to be the hope of the young men of Volzard, but he is still far behind Reinhardt.

Of course, I won't be able to beat him, but I won't get stuck.

I was nervous and shortened the distance, and measured the moment when Gilik stepped in.

"That!" "Hey!"

Gilik's heavy blow is strong, and even if I greet him with all my might, I will be repelled.

I jumped back with a paper-thin distance, and struck with my wooden sword from the top diagonally across.

Gilik swung up his wooden sword using the momentum from before, and swings it down with a tremendous step.

I also greeted him with a swing down with my whole weight on it.

Gatsun! It made a dull sound and managed to catch the blow of Gilik, but it was pushed in to close contact.

When it comes to such a push, the difference in body size makes a difference, and I am pushed down as he pushes.

At the moment when I tried to push him back with the power of my whole body, Gilik suddenly relaxed.

"Eh ..."

When I suddenly lost the support in front of me I lost my balance, I saw Gilik with a smile on the edge of my field of vision swinging down his wooden sword.

"I'm ... Gugyaa ..."

I forcibly turned my body and tried to catch it with my wooden sword, but I couldn't make it in time, and I got a blow from Gilik to my left shoulder.

There was a dull sound, and I felt my collarbone break, and I inadvertently knelt on the ground.

"Kent! Are you alright, Kent."

"Ugyii ... I'm okay ..."

Manon rushed over, but I was still down and couldn't reply well.

Heal, heal, hold your shoulder with your right hand and do your best to self-heal.

All the pores on my head were opened, and cold sweat was dripping.

Still, if you clench your teeth and use full self-healing, the pain will gradually go away.

Just a little more, a little more.

"Hey Kent, are you okay?"

"Yes ... Donovan-san, a little more, a little more ..."

While standing up, I slowly moved my arm while opening and closing my left hand.

Yeah, it will be healed in a little more.

"Hey, Kent ..."

"It's okay, Donovan-san, if I take a little more rest ..."

As I slowly moved my arms, I finally raised my face and turned to Donovan-san, and I froze.

It wasn't the powerful but dependable familiar Donovan-san, but the war-ready Donovan-san who was looking at prey.

"Kent, a normal guy doesn't heal his broken bones right away ... I've been a little skeptical since you were injured by Yzak ... Who are you? Are you a Resenburg dog?"

Ahh ... I think I've gotten a little too careless.

Come to think of it, Donovan-san was a person who didn't cut corners even in the training for a no-good person.

This, is it over for me?
