31 – aka wheel – 31
“It looks like the next sparring will have to be held elsewhere.”
Looking at the completely smashed Prism Stone, the instructor sighed and shook his head.
“I’m sorry about this.”
Marvas approached the instructor as he put his sword into the scabbard, and the instructor bowed and greeted him.
“It is an honor to meet Sword Saint Marvas.”
“You must be someone who knows me well?”
“I think it’s more strange that among those who walk the path of the sword, they don’t know the name of Master Marvas.”
“That’s an undeserved compliment. We’ll soon be colleagues, so be honest.”
“… … hmm? didn’t you know I applied for a swordsmanship instructor at Summoner Academy. I’m supposed to talk to the chancellor a little later. What helped Rosé and Gregory here… … It’s a combination of both.”
“… … Marvas-sama as an instructor!”
The instructor’s face, which was always blunt or smiling slightly, turned red.
No, that woman could make a face like that?
In fact, the other students were also very surprised to see her expression.
Rather than hearing that Barbas was coming as an instructor, he was more surprised by the instructor’s expression.
“Today’s sparring ground isn’t very good, so let’s finish today’s sparring class here! Marvas? Can I escort you to the president’s office?”
“hmm? I am grateful.”
Just like that, the instructor disappears with Marvas only to say that class is over.
I wondered if it was okay for the instructor to do that, but when I thought I had met an existence that was no different from an idol, I understood a little bit.
“So, where are the keys?”
Meanwhile, Rosé smiles kindly in front of Malfoy, who is still crouching down.
“In my pocket… … .”
“Did you ask because you didn’t really know where I was? Give it to me quickly.”
“Yes, yes… … .”
Malfoy reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver key.
That’s the [Ghaul’s Shop] key.
Rosé accepted the key with a smile and stood up.
“Well then, you must fulfill your promise, right?”
“yes?”
“Take it to the bottom of your head and apologize~ Now, quickly? If you keep doing that, I have no choice but to press it with my feet.”
… … Is that really the rosé I know?
“I like what you say to me. It can be enough. But~ I can’t do that to Gregory-sama~”
huh? why am i here
“Come on, quickly. Apologize to Gregory and me.”
“crime. sorry… … .”
Malfoy hung his head with a humiliated expression on his face.
Rosé doesn’t lose her smile until the end while watching her.
“hmm? To whom?”
“Rosé and… … Sorry Gregory… … .”
“Yes, I like it. I will forgive you.”
As if it was nothing, Rose said lightly and extended her hand.
“Let’s live kindly from now on. Don’t do anything like stealing. Got it?”
“… … okay.”
Malfoy stood up without holding the hand that Rose gave him. He staggered toward his comrades.
“Rosé, are you okay?”
Rosé turns the tip of the key round and round while humming.
I unlocked the transformation and walked towards her, and she handed me the key.
“yes? What?”
He glanced behind us. The students who were looking at our Dalian were talking about us.
‘Two demons?’
‘Didn’t I say that the elf is a descendant of the hero?’
‘It’s the second coming of the demon king.’
‘Rogenome… … . Demon King Rosenom… … .’
“What, a day or two? These are the people who were like that from the beginning. I don’t really care.”
Rosé, who had been bullied until now, didn’t seem to care.
Then, one of them stepped out of the crowd.
Pure white gray hair and cold sky blue eyes. It was tequila.
“Gregory-sama, I enjoyed watching the couple’s sparring with Roger-sama.”
Tequila bowed her head and expressed her gratitude.
“Okay, did it help?”
“Yes, it was a sparring with a lot to learn for me, who are mostly undead summoned creatures.”
Divinity was such a fraudulent trait.
I only stabbed it with the horn on the top of my head, and three of my arms flew off.
If I had used my skills or continued to play 2:2, I would have lost unconditionally.
“technology. What Gregory-sama was trying to show me was technology.”
“Yes, that kind of affinity can be offset with technology.”
Marvas’ swordsmanship was representative. Pure swordsmanship that does not use its own attributes.
Swordsmanship was not affected by divinity in any way.
“You must also have undead who can handle swords. It would be better to train the skills of the undead as much as possible.”
“I will gladly take your advice.”
There were guys like that in the game too.
The guy who used to drive the named undead as a small elite while claiming to deal with the undead.
It was an undead, terrible NPC who drove SR and SSR-class guys around and destroyed their compatibility.
Tequila Croft.
Will she be able to achieve that?
“Gregory! Class ended early today, what are you going to do?”
Rosé, who was watching the conversation with Tequila from the side, smiled and rushed as soon as the conversation was over.
Rosé hugging my left arm as it is. Thanks to that, my left arm was tucked between her breasts.
“… … You’re so excited. Rosé.”
“of course! Anyone who goes through a battle like this can’t help but be excited!”
hehehehe. Rosé laughed happily.
No matter how much, the skinship of a beauty like Rosé was too irritating to me.
“… … Let’s go to Chess first. You should also see what you will be using there.”
“yes! Finally, I can see the shop Gregory-sama said about.”
“I guess.”
What kind of items are there in Ghaul’s store that has been hundreds of years?
As a gamer, my heart started pounding.
No, is it because of Rosé clinging to her side?
“… … stop going away Rosé.”
“yes? Is it too?”
“… … burden.”
“hehehe, I see!”
Even so, seeing the way he listened to the words well, it felt like seeing a large retriever.
“Then can I see Marvas-sama in swordsmanship class from tomorrow?”
“Perhaps. The other guys must have felt the importance of swordsmanship by looking at you today. Guy Marvas… … You will have a busy life as soon as you arrive.”
This is reality, not a game.
It meant that the summoners would not leave the summoner alone. In other words, the summoner must have a skill to protect himself.
“In the future, there may be a summoner who is both a summoner and a sword master.”
Suddenly, the image of Jiu attacking the opponent with Pokemon comes to mind.
Certainly, it was horror.
* * *
“I don’t do business———hehehe?! Gregory and… … Redneck Elf!”
“… … I am Rosé.”
As soon as I opened the door and entered, Chess, who was lying face down on the table, became helpless and jumped up.
“if… … If you’re here now… … .”
An expectant tone of voice and facial expression. I smiled and took out the key from my pocket.
“Yes, your request has been fulfilled.”
“Quaaa! thank you! Thank you so much!”
Do-do-do-do. The little Chess rushed at me and hugged me.
“Wowaaa! so good! Is this the pleasure of succeeding in revenge?! Who the hell is the fool who says revenge is empty! In such a cool and good place!!!”
Then, the sight of him stamping his feet was like watching a excited raccoon.
“… … Get away. It’s hot.”
“Ah! I’m sorry!”
Chess, who came to his senses, jumped away from me in a fright.
“Then shall we go?! There are so many great products!”
Chess, who was handed the key, jumped and moved.
She even hums how excited she is.
Standing tall on the wall at the end of the store, she drove the key into the wall and turned it halfway.
coo kung. I hear the sound of gears turning.
“Oh oh… … Gregory. It’s a secret door!”
“Right. It’s a secret door.”
Do you enter in this way? As a man, I couldn’t help but feel my heart pounding.
The secret door and the moving mechanism.
Eventually, the wall opened on both sides, revealing an elevator.
“Come on, I’ll take you inside!”
coo kung. With a single shaking, the elevator slowly began to descend to the ground.
There was no instrument panel to tell the floor number, so I just knew that I was going down deep by feeling.
Maybe about 20 seconds passed like that? The elevator stopped.
“Welcome! To [Gaul’s Shop of All Things]!”
Tring! With a sound, the doors of the elevator slowly open on both sides.
Bright interior, even though it is underground.
The inside looked no different from any other store, but I could see that each item was unusual.
“Wow… … ! Gregory! Awesome!”
A sword emitting pure white light, armor covered with tree roots, and prism jewels piled high.
It was a landscape that was never easy to see.
“If I sold only the jewels here, it would have been no problem for me to make a living, so why did you leave it alone?”
“Because it’s a jewel, not a stone… … . I don’t know what to do if someone like me sells jewels outside and gets followed… … .”
Have you been thinking about the basics?
“Come on, look around! We will serve you as benefactors at a special discount!”
“Gregory! May I look around?!”
“Okay, look around to see if you need anything.”
“yes!”
Excited, Rosé stepped inside the store and began examining various items.
“chess. Will there be a booklet?”
“yes! Here!”
He handed me the booklet the chess had been prepared for.
It was impressive how they were divided into categories.
There were 3 things I was looking for here.
Equipment and items to use. And it was an item that Rosé would use.
[All things store in Gaul] was a shop with strong randomness, so it was good to come and check it often.
“hmm… … Is this all I can get now?”
“I want to see this first.”
I said that and pointed to the mask drawn on the booklet.
“ah! Is it the mask of the abyss? Yes, I will bring it to you right away!”
Chess entered the store and soon brought a mask.
“yes! Oh, the mask of the abyss! As for the effect, as written there, you can change your appearance when you wear it, and it increases the chance that your opponent will feel fear!”
The appearance of the mask was more ordinary than expected. It’s just that the eyes, nose, and mouth are pierced against a pitch-black background.
I took the mask lightly and put it on my face, and I got a sense of how to use it.
“Is this how you use it?”
As soon as I put on the mask, a system window appeared in front of me.
It was a UI that seemed to have moved the customizing system of the game.
As he increased his obesity and decreased his height, his appearance became rounder.
“It’s your first time, so you’re pretty good at it?”
Watching my ever-changing appearance, playing chess… … made a noise.
As a customizing craftsman, this level is nothing to me.
“I’ll have to check out the other features.”
transform.
“Heeheee!”
ah.
Chess passed out.
… … Performance sure.
