19 – aka wheel – 19
That guy was Rosé’s daily teacher I was looking for.
“ha ha ha! I thought it was an enemy to approach at an unusual speed, but… … It was a couple on a picnic. You have done me a great disrespect.”
A man bowing his head and apologizing to us with the sword he was holding at his waist.
Perhaps unable to cope with the sudden series of events, Rosé’s eyes were spinning around under me.
“Hey, what the hell is this?”
I stood up and brushed the dirt off my clothes. Perhaps because of [Attribute: Nobility], it was because his nerves got sharper when his clothes got dirty.
“What is it? That crazy old man in front of me blew his sword without hesitation.”
I grumbled and looked at the old man in front of me.
Although he wore an ivory cotton shirt and beige pants with a dignified and benevolent face, the pomade left without hair seemed to represent his personality as if to show off his neatness.
“hmm? Heh heh heh, what a crazy old man. That’s something I haven’t heard in a long time.”
Marvas actually laughed in surprise. After all, there are only a handful of people who can say that to themselves.
“It seems that he avoided my attack, and judging from the horse, he seems to have come to know the identity of this old man… … Who are you?”
The eyes of Marvas, which had been hidden by his smiling face, shone brightly.
It was like the reflection of the sunset on the lake, and the eyes reminded me of lions in the meadow.
“Amazing, I didn’t know you wouldn’t recognize me. Marvas.”
“Hoo?”
After hearing my words, Marvas clenched his chin in interest.
“Paimon recognized me at a glance as soon as he saw me.”
raising the eyebrows I muttered.
“transform.”
A body that changes with a brilliant halo of light. Only then did Marvas laugh out loud, his face completely erased from his wariness.
“No, who is this! Gregory Jones! My best friend and the jewel of the underworld! Aren’t you the ruler of the underground!”
Marvas, who saw my wheel form, was greatly surprised and spread his arms wide.
Do you want to hug? When I was in the wheel form, I was embarrassed because no one asked me to hug, but the other person’s reaction was so intense that I accepted it without even realizing it.
“Yeah, yes.”
He hugged Marvas with two pairs of legs, except for the one supporting the ground.
But soon, Gregory in his head sounded an alarm.
As if I wasn’t originally like this.
“It’s been a while since we met, so I accepted… … Won’t you just leave me alone?”
“ha ha ha! As always! I thought it wasn’t you because you accepted the hug, something!”
It seemed like it was the right thing to say.
Marvas, who had fallen from my body, looked at me and said.
“Your body, like a black opal, is always beautiful. It still looks compact.”
“Thank you for the compliment… … . Was this your original image?”
In [Summoner Academia – Gaiden], he was a grandfather with a sense of weight, not like this image.
“Maybe it’s because they’re the first friends I’ve met in decades after settling down in the human world. By the way… … . Who is that elf friend next to you? I feel something familiar.”
Marvas’ eyes are drawn to Rosé.
“Heeep!”
Rosé’s body trembled as she received Marvas’ sharp eyes. It was like a puppy that had been in cold water and came out of it.
“He is my summoner.”
“… … Summoner? Are you a summoned beast now?”
“okay. I think it will be long if we talk here… … .”
“That’s right! You can’t leave guests like this. come with me It’s not far from where I’m staying.”
After saying that, Marvas turned and walked ahead.
Only then did Rosé cling to me. His body was still trembling.
“Yes, Gregory. Is he really that Marvas-sama?”
“Yes, maybe the Marvas you know is right.”
“oh my god… … … .”
Her reaction was also understandable. If it’s Marvas, it’s the highest tier summon that is classified as SSR even in the game.
It was a demon with a legend that even cut off the left arm of the disaster in one blow when confronting the disaster in the past.
“This is the villa I’m staying in. It’s shabby, but I’ll go inside.”
The place he arrived at was a huge mansion that was too out of place to be in the mountains.
“… … Since it’s in the mountains, I thought he was building a cabin like an old man living in seclusion… … . I was eating well and living well.”
“I tried to do that at first, but it was also difficult. That’s why I brought servants from the demon realm.”
He was one of the few nobles in the Pandemonium, so maybe it was natural.
“You’re back soon. Lord Marvas.”
The devil with bright red skin looked at Marvas and lowered his head.
And when he saw me, he opened his eyes wide in surprise.
“Gregory Jones… … . Indeed, you have an honored guest.”
Does this guy even know me? Unfortunately, that guy had never appeared in a side story, so he was an unknown opponent.
“Debraos. Please welcome the guest.”
“I will follow your orders. I’ll see you Gregory Jones. And a beautiful elf girl.”
Upon hearing the words of the demon called Debraos, Rosé’s face turned red.
“Hey! Gregory! did you hear They say I’m a beautiful elf girl!”
“… … okay.”
Maybe that’s the devil’s whisper.
We were guided by Dibraos and moved to the space where guests were entertained.
It was a common sight seen in aristocratic mansions.
When I sat down in the wheel form, I thought that it would be uncomfortable to drink tea in this form, so I changed into a human form.
As expected, this side of the body was more comfortable for me to be active.
After a while, Marvas returned in a more neat outfit and sat down.
“Sorry for being late. Anyway, it’s amazing. I never thought you, who always liked to walk alone, would take on a human form and act as a summoned beast. What the hell happened?”
“It’s quite long, so to speak.”
I told Marvas exactly what I had told Paimon.
After hearing my story, Marvas listens to my story with interest.
“Yoo Hee-ra. Certainly, it would be quite enjoyable if it was a game of sealing one’s own power.”
“Yes, and I was convinced that I would be able to cross the border at this rate.”
I didn’t know if it was natural because I had a body that could be raised to 10 stars.
In terms of a game system, it’s like a reincarnation system.
After hearing my words, Marvas looks at Rosé with interest.
“It’s amazing that this girl is a descendant of Lars and Lily.”
“I am also honored to meet Marvas, the sword master who fought alongside my ancestors… … .”
To her, Marvas was nothing more than a legendary figure from a fairy tale.
Just meeting you like this would be like a dream.
“hahahaha, it’s embarrassing to see this old man being praised like that. By the way, I have a question, but how did you know where this old man is? I don’t remember ever talking to anyone about it.”
Eyes that sharpen. I said while maintaining a poker face as much as possible using [Attribute: Noble].
“There is nothing I don’t know.”
Activate cheat key.
Oh, I know what to do? It was a cheat key named
A method that is possible because this body is the grand duke of the Demon Realm. In this case, it was better to just push.
In fact, Gregory’s personality seemed to be like this originally.
“Certainly, when you say it, I understand.”
After all, this cheat key worked.
“Then, why did you come to visit this old man?”
Do you ask the main point now?
I said after quenching my throat with the tea Debraos gave me.
“I want you to see Rose’s talent for swords. Marvas.”
“hmm?”
Marvas puts on an expression of incomprehension. I continued.
“As I told you, Rose is a descendant of the hero. That’s why I have enough magical talent or summoner’s talent.”
In fact, summoning me was to prove that I was a great talent.
As if agreeing with this, Marvas nodded.
“However, this is only Lily’s talent. As a descendant of Rath, she must also have a talent for swords.”
Soon, Marvas put on an expression that he had realized. I look at it and say
“You have outstanding sword skills that are superior to mine. So, I want you to see Rosé’s talent with that talent.”
Hearing my suggestion, Marvas drinks his teacup.
It was a one-shot.
“Certainly, Gregory, you were a martial artist who used fists rather than swords.”
That I was a fighter with fists? This was good information. Now that I know where my growth can go.
Isn’t it really going to be a wheel when you go to 10 stars?
“Well, it’s not difficult to look after the sword. Girl, your name is… … Did you say Rosé?”
“yes! This is Rose von Euglia!”
“Hmm, I guess you took Lily’s last name.”
“Because Lars wasn’t originally from this world. You must have used Lily’s last name, which will remain here.”
In fact, after defeating the disaster, Lars asks God to return to the original world.
He left Lily pregnant.
Do you really think you’re a bad kid?
“Yes, Roger. After a while, let’s meet swords together outside.”
“yes?!”
Hearing that Roze, who was startled, was mixing swords with Marvas, must have been frightened.
“Yes, Gregory. Do I really have any talent for swords? It’s been a while since I’ve held a sword since I was young… … .”
“So you came here to find out, didn’t you? You will do well.”
Saying that to alleviate her worries, she stroked the top of her head, which was stained black from the drain of water.
As if it had worked, Rosé’s tremors subsided little by little.
Looking at it like this, I can’t tell if this is an elf or a cowardly puppy.
“I never thought Gregory under heaven would look like that… … . Does everyone become like that when they become summoned?”
Marvas, who was watching us, looks at us with a happy expression.
“If you’re really curious about it, try becoming a summons.”
“That wouldn’t be bad either.”
Marvas suddenly starts to think seriously while stroking his chin. Even so, the summoner who would summon him would be one of the best in the world.
It was because he was the one who had barely been summoned in the past warriors party.
“By the way, Marvas. I have a question.”
“hmm? What about this old man?”
It was a very pure question.
“I know the rumor that you came to the human world to catch Paimon, but… … You should already know where Paimon is. But why are you still in the human world?”
It was absurd that someone like Marvas didn’t know where Paimon was.
It wouldn’t have known if Paimon had been hiding completely, but it was absurd that Marvas, the archevil, didn’t know that the black magicians were playing captain.
“Ah, is that what you mean? You guys must have met Paimon?”
Rosé smiled and answered Marvas’ question.
“yes! Paimon-sama and my friend ate too!”
“Huh! you mean friend? Are you talking about that Paimon?”
Marvas genuinely admires Rosé’s answer. He too must have been surprised because he knew Paimon’s personality.
“Gregory, to answer your question, there is no great reason. There are things that I liked about the human world, which came down after a long time… … Judging from what Paimon was doing, I didn’t think he would run away, so I left him alone.”
Most of all, said Marvas with a benevolent smile.
“To be friends with Paimon, it’s not bad to see him like this.”
“… … Your love for your granddaughter is unusual.”
“Heh, granddaughter. He is just a cherished child.”
After stroking his short beard, Marvas stood up and looked at Rosé.
It was a more friendly look than the first one.
“Yes, then Paimon’s close friend and Gregory’s summoner. Let’s see the skills of Rose Yang, who is said to be a descendant of the hero. Shall we go out together?”
“Heh heh heh… … .”
Even though Rosé himself looked scary.
