Glancing, I look in the direction where Rosé is.
Rosé, who is tearing up profusely, is fighting Demonic’s sword hard.
As expected, Demonic was harassing Rose hard enough to keep Rose from collapsing, as if she had understood my intentions.
Yeah, I knew you would come out like that.
If he had really intended to defeat Rosé, he would have immediately retired Tequila first.
“… … hahahaha. Can I look elsewhere?”
Tequila exhaled heavily and made a troubled expression.
All around her are already shattered bones.
“I still have that much leeway. By the way, how long are you going to attack with your own body?”
“… … under. What if the person who turned all the skulls into powder said that?”
Also, I am still a child.
“Aren’t the bones that remain after the skeletons are broken bones?”
“… … what is that?”
“You can handle bones, but you only use them to summon skeletons.”
“That’s because I’m a summoner, of course.”
“Rosé is a summoner, a wizard and a swordsman at the same time. Then how about you? Tequila Croft.”
To be honest, I thought this gave a lot of hints.
Are there only Necromancers who deal only with quantity?
A necromancer is originally a person who handles bones. And, Tequila was a very talented child as a Necromancer.
After hearing my story, Tequila stares blankly at the floor holding a scythe.
“I am… … . I am… … .”
Tequila’s pupils begin to tremble. Soon, as if possessed by something, she let go of the hand holding the scythe and stretched it toward the floor.
Click. Click. Click. Click.
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.
Dozens or hundreds of bone fragments shake at the same time.
“… … I think I know.”
The bones begin to move like a living creature. Bone fragments began to spin and wrap around me.
It soon becomes a coffin that covers me and completely blocks my existence from the surrounding landscape.
And, a cold voice came from beyond the coffin.
“Bone Maiden.”
“ah.”
Even just hearing the name, you can get a feel for what kind of technology it is.
After confirming that the shape of the wall surrounding me was changing little by little, I knelt down on the spot and bent over as much as I could.
And, as expected, bone thorns rising from the wall.
Eventually, bone spikes rose up in most of the space except for a small gap in the floor, penetrating the space where I had just been standing.
“… … It must have hurt quite a bit.”
The thorns that filled the air slowly return to the wall as if going backwards in time, and the wall of bones that surrounded me slowly begins to open.

Glance. Through a crack in the bone wall, I meet the eyes of Tequila, who was standing outside relying on a scythe, as I lay down on the floor to avoid the thorns.
“… … Are you avoiding even that?”
“It wasn’t bad.”
If it wasn’t for the wheel, I would have become a hole song, but what should I do when the opponent is me?
“… … Instructor. I will surrender.”
Was it too difficult to stand leaning on the scythe? Tequila shudders and declares surrender to the instructor.
At this, the instructor nodded, and at the same time, a cry of ‘End of Dalian’ came from the instructor.
“ah.”
Tequila stumbles and collapses as soon as the sparring is completely over.
Knowing from Rosé that helping in a transformed state would backfire, I quickly canceled the transformation and at the same time used [Skill: Explosive Speed] to run to Tequila and wrap her around her waist to hold her.
“Are you okay?”
“ah, … … thank you.”
I could feel the redness on her white face, so I put my hand on her forehead and felt the heat.
“It is a phenomenon of magical exhaustion. You might as well take a day off today.”
“… … yes.”
Took. Took.
I felt something touching my foot, so I turned my head and saw the demonic, which had returned to its original form, kicking my leg.
Moongrak——! Moongrak——!
“… … What do you mean?”
Moongrak——! Moongrak——!
“Demonic right now… … no.”
“huh?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
is it? Then it really wouldn’t be a big deal.
“Ueeeng——! It’s Gregorini!!!”
In the distance, I saw a girl running towards me with tears and runny nose.
Dirt all over her body and tousled blonde hair.
“oooh!!! It was so hard!!!”
My summoner who was eagerly sharing swords with Demonic. it was rosé
“however… … Why is Gregory hugging tequila?”
… … huh? I?
“ah.”
Come to think of it, I remembered that I hadn’t let go of the tequila yet.
“Can you stand?”
“yes. It’s fine now.”
I checked the condition of the tequila and slowly released it, and Demonic, who had been kicking my feet, ran and supported the tequila.
“thank you. Demonic.”
Dalgrak–!!!
“… … We’ll talk about that later.”
Leaving the two people having a serious conversation behind, I looked at Rosé, who was smoking a cigarette while shedding tears.
“… … No, you smoke while crying?”
“But the fight just now completely drained my mana! It is an emergency blood transfusion!”
Yes, Rosé was originally this kind of guy.
“So, did you teach Demonics well?”
“You teach me well! He swings his sword in all sorts of bizarre ways, really! I almost died trying to stop it! Can you see the prism stones in the corner of the arena over there? I almost died!”
Rosé sighed and exhaled smoke as she said that, probably because it was really hard.
“Yes, yes, if you felt that way, Demonic must have taught you.”
“yes?”
“Well, if you ever need to use a sword later, you’ll know. You have been taught valuable lessons. Rosé.”
“… … Still, I prefer to be taught the Gregory style by Gregory.”
No, to say Gregory, it’s just compression fisting… … .
Still, saying this far makes me feel grateful for no reason.
“Yeah, let’s train together later.”
“Alone! is it a promise? You promised?!”
“The devil is good at keeping his promises. Rosé.”
“Hurray!”
would you like it that much?
“Before I like it so much, shouldn’t I be worried about supplementary classes first?”
“… … yes? ah… … . ah!!!”
No, you forgot??
“Such hard work and supplementary classes! Nonsense!!! Instructor Sellua!! Help me! yes?! You saw how much I suffered!”
At the end of supplementary class, Rosé staggers toward Selua Negal in the judgment seat, as if her mentality has finally gone out.
“Help me!!!”
“… … I’m sorry. I heard that the vice-president himself conducts supplementary classes today.”
“… … yes?”
“… … cheer up.”
“No eh eh eh!”
Rosé screams as she collapses on the floor.
The vice-president is giving supplementary classes today? … … What kind of wind did that woman blow?
Rosé stretched out in a typical posture of despair. She wakes up trembling and looks at me.
“I can not help it… … ! Even with the help of my summoned beast, Marvas-sama—”
“Ah, by the way, Marvas-sama also participates in supplementary classes.”
“God is dead!!!”
In the end, all methods were useless, and Rosé trudged over to me with a completely sullen appearance and said,
“… … back to the dormitory There is still time until supplementary classes, so I think I can rest a little… … .”
“… … okay.”
For now, just comfort me.
* * *
After the sparring, Tequila and Demonic returned to the dormitory with Rosé and others.
As soon as Tequila entered the dorm, she threw herself on the bed and exhaled a deep breath.
“… … It’s been a long time since I’ve been this hard.”
Moongrak——! Moongrak——!
“I’m glad if Demonic-nim enjoyed it. How was Rosé’s skill?”
Demonic came to bed at the question of tequila and explained something with his jawbone rattling.
Tequila, who had been quietly listening to Demonic’s story, soon smiled.
“It’s also Miss Rose. To the extent that Demonic-sama says he has talent.”
Moongrak——! Moongrak——!
“yes? He kicked and punched in the middle while swinging his sword, so he was very picky, maybe… … It must be the influence of the other summons.”
As Tequila said that, she remembered Rosé’s summoned beasts, Gregory and Marvas.
Existences that are said to be a disaster just for each one of them to descend into this world as their main body.
It was tequila that I would have envied in the past, but it was different now.
Moongrak——! Moongrak——!
“You mean that? I also received many good lessons. I almost won in the end… … . It wasn’t easy as the opponent was the opponent.”
Moongrak——! Moongrak——!
Demonic climbs onto the bed and pats Tequila on the head with a light motion.
Did he imagine himself being comforted by a small skeleton? Tequila smiles.
“thank you. We’ll definitely try to win next time. Demonic.”
Moongrak——! Moongrak——!
Yes, because the current self had a demonic.
Because I was confident that I could become stronger.
Just like that, Tequila lay on the bed, feeling the skeleton’s bony bones caressing her head, and slowly, very slowly, feeling her eyelids get heavy.
Dalgrak– Dalgrak–
Until suddenly the skeleton grumbled.
“… … At that time, the only thing Gregory gave me was to support me when I was about to collapse.”
Of course, from the middle, the strength went into the legs, but Tequila didn’t bother to tell me that.
If I did, it was obvious that Demonic would nag me again.
That’s why tequila is just quiet.
I accepted my desire for sleep and chose to escape into my dreams.
