Chapter 171

Chapter 171


“So, if you did become stronger . What would you do?”


Scala kept asking questions . ‘Let me see…’ Tenjouin pretended to give it some thought .


He knew what he would do .


“Well, I guess I would beat up the person I want to defeat . ”


It felt more passionate .


He realized once again how he felt as he answered .


He had come to this world and touched a sword for the first time . It was the first time he had seen magic . He had skills, but he started at 0 with everything .


But now he had surpassed the kingdom’s knights and killed monsters that had been difficult before . He fought demons and was victorious .


Before he knew it, Tenjouin had discovered the thrill of climbing higher mountains and surpassing them .


Am I combat maniac?


He chuckled to himself . Scala listened to his answer and then said,


“I’ve decided! I choose you!”


She had decided something .


“Huh?”


“You want to become stronger, don’t you?”


“I do…”


“Then I shall make it come true . ”


He didn’t know what was happening


But Scala looked happy as she grabbed his hand . With her other hand, she pulled out a teleportation sphere and threw it .


When the sphere shattered, a magic circle appeared in that spot .


“Now, let’s go . ”


Scala forcefully pulled Tenjouin’s arm .


However, such methods did not sit well with him . And he frantically resisted .


“Wa-wait a minute! Go!? Go where? What do you mean about making it come true!?”


Tenjouin tried to pull away from her grip as he asked this, but he was not strong enough .


Scala didn’t look at all disturbed by his desperate struggle, and she replied in a calm voice .


“Isn’t it obvious? I am going to train you and make you stronger . ”


“What? Stronger?”


“If everything goes well, you will gain strength incomparable to where you are now . You may even be able to catch up to Yato . ”


At the mention of training, Tenjouin stopped struggling and looked at her with wide eyes .


It was so sudden that he did not know what to think, but Scala’s last words sounded clearly in his ears .


He might catch up to Yato . To Kamiya .


And he would be much stronger than before .


He had given up only a moment ago . But if he was with a god of superior strength, maybe it was possible after all .


“I thought you might be worth something the moment you first challenged me to a fight . And now I know that there is someone you wish to beat . So you have no reason to refuse me . ”


It seemed that Scala had seen something in Tenjouin .


And his question and challenge to her to fight had miraculously made a good impression on her .


Perhaps they were fundamentally quite similar to each other .


He could defeat Kamiya and become stronger…


Tenjouin muttered this to himself as if Scala was not there .


Just putting it into words seemed to make his heart burn hot .


When he imagined the moment of victory, all of his will to resist seemed to melt away .


However, that was the problem .


“Let’s go then . Time is of the essence . ”


“Uh, wha!?”


Once Scala was finished answering his question, she pulled him forward toward the magic circle . And then she jumped .


Her body went inside of the circle, and then both she and Tenjouin disappeared .


“I didn’t say that I would go with you yet!!”


“Te-Tenjouin!?”


Tenjouin screamed as he was dragged into it . But his voice suddenly cut off .


Miki frantically tried to stop him, but she was too late .


He was gone in an instant, and only Miki remained .


“Wh-what should I do…”


Things had happened so suddenly that she could not make decisions in time .


The room had been so loud a moment ago, but now everything was silent .


In any case, she thought that it would be best to go and tell Luri .


What had happened was practically an abduction . But since she had said she was going to train Tenjouin, Miki would call it an apprenticeship .


While she decided this, she continued to stand there motionless . And then she suddenly remembered something as she raised her voice with an ‘Ah . ’


“I forgot to tell him . ”


It was the reason she had come here in the first place .


It was too bad she couldn’t tell him .


She felt strong regret over this .


After all, the information had to do with the ultimate reason he had come to this world .


–She finally knew where the demon lord was .


She had been able to ask one of the four great generals she had brought back from earth before .


After being summoned, Tenjouin had been able to learn the basics of sword and magic and gained experience through killing monsters .


Then he pushed back the wave of monsters that swept the country until the place was considered to be safe again .


But up until now, the location of the demon lord had been a mystery . And now they would be able to go and defeat him .


It meant the end of the long battle in this world .


And yet, Scala had forcefully taken away Tenjouin .


Furthermore, no one knew when he would return .


Miki was worried about the future, but there was no point in thinking about it now .


She would just have to pray .


Besides, even though she knew the location, there were lots of preparations to be made .


And so there was no real need to rush .


No need to rush…


“Why am I always the person who has to wait…”


Miki had nothing but complaints .


She had thought that she could be together with Tenjouin when she came back from earth…


She sighed . Strangely, she did not feel the same sense of sadness as before .


Perhaps it was because she had experienced this before . But she did not like being used to it .


“…I’ll go look for Luri . ”


She had to explain what just happened .


Luri would probably think the same thing as her .


Thinking about it like that, she somehow felt less inclined to tell her .


Why do I have to do this…


She sighed again . While she didn’t care to, Miki teleported away to where Luri was .


You would think that things would settle after returning from earth . But now he was taken away to be trained by a god .


But they knew where the Demon Lord was now . Their final purpose now felt like a very realistic possibility .

(Friends)


“Luri . ”


“Oh, Miki . What is it?”


“I don’t seem to have any luck with men…”


“Oh, what happened? This is so sudden . ”


“I don’t know if I could feel any more sad…”


“Uh, so what are you talking about?”


“Do you think I’d be punished if I punched him the next time we meet?”


“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but why don’t you just do what you want?”
