I visit the Old Man’s shop when we went to Class Up but a “shop closed” sign was hung up and it was unattended. When I ask the neighbouring store, it seems the old man’s weapons had sold so well that production couldn’t keep up, and he’s gone out to gather ores.
Originally the shop was already famous in the Castle Town but it’s reputation has increased lately.
Or is the growth due to their rivalry? (TL: Between the Old Man and Imya’s uncle)
Was he still in Zeltbur? (TL: Zeltbur, the country of mercenaries. refer to Chapter 155)
In the first place, most of the people I know are in my territory.
Because of that, I return to the village quickly.
“Oh?”(Naofumi)
When I arrived at the village, I see some familiar faces.
“We’ve just returned.” (Rishia)
Rishia and the Female Knight greet me.
“Oh, have you finished your training?” (Naofumi)
“Yes, me too. I was taught various things. (Rishia)
“Well, the Instructor was so impressed by my enthusiasm that she taught me the Peerless Transformation Style.” (Female Knight) (TL: The Peerless Transformation Style: also known as the Hengen Musou Ryuu)
There was a charater in a game I knew who demanded an apprenticeship and didn’t move from the entrance of the master’s house.
I remember that they were the one with the highest potential within the three disciples but the character had a strong habit, such a thing didn’t matter here. (TL: The game he’s referring to here is a Super Nintendo game that only aired in Japan called Live-A-Live.
Thanks to reader Beefy for the info and pic.)
“That being said, I was only taught sword techniques. She told me to keep training like I did before.” (Female Knight)
And that’s why they both came back from training at the same time.
And yet the Female Knight only learnt about swords, wasn’t she taught properly?
“What is it, Iwatani-dono?” (Female Knight)
“Hmph…… Who do you think I am? I followed the Instructor to the point where Rishia-dono and Rafatalia collapsed from exhaustion.” (Female Knight)
“It is a style where the basics of body movement, magic, and spiritual flow are more important than technique. It was very hard to get the hang of it.” (Female Knight)
So…… in other words, it’s a Style in which weapons are just decorations.
“Is there a reason why you guys secluded yourselves in the mountain?” (Naofumi)
“Do you even understand what that means?” (Naofumi)
I don’t get any of it. Is it because I’m from a different world?
Has it already become commonplace……
There was such development in a manga that I read once.
“Yes, there are still a lot of things Rafatalia-san needs to learn because she is Naofumi-san’s right-hand man.” (Rishia)
Actually, Fohl is the odd one out.
“Oh? I think I will go level up with those who just had a Class Up.” (Naofumi)
Indeed, I’m a little worried that I haven’t been levelling up at all lately.
I’m thinking of officially gathering some people and making a party with the purpose of raising my level.
“That sounds good. I would like to see the Peerless Transformation Style.” (Naofumi)
Let’s see, there’s me, Atlas, Gaelion, Taniko, Rishia and the Female Knight.
If we were in an RPG, it would be a safe formation that wouldn’t lose to most of the enemies.
I feel she has already adapted to the village but as far as it goes, the Female Knight is not one of my subordinates.
“Oh, I see.” (Naofumi)
Well, having Sadina level up in her natural battlefield is what’s best for her.
“Yes. What is it?” (Atlas)
Atlas comes when I call.
“Okay. I’m looking forward to going along with Naofumi-sama.” (Atlas)
“Then let’s go, Lord Iwatani,” (Female Knight)
Well, it’s not like she had been fighting seriously with Rafatalia so her stats are lower.
“Kyuaaaa!” (Gaelion)
Gaelion makes a happy sound when I call him.
I think it’s child Gaelion based on his voice.
“Kyu……” (Gaelion)
Gaelion’s Child Mode.
Going by carriage would be more comfortable, but it’s fine.
It seems she’s feeling at home here.
No, that guy is often with Taniko too.
“I wonder where is good.” (Naofumi)
“What’s it about?” (Naofumi)
“I see…… Bandit subjugation.” (Naofumi)
It’s probably the remnants of those guys. [T/N: This is the 4th time he’s seeing those bandits…]
If it’s an official request, I can also get a reward so it’s like killing two birds with one stone.
“Can you pinpoint the place?” (Naofumi)
“The leader?” (Naofumi)
I have a feeling there was a similar guy last time, and the time before that.
“He has an army but he’s still running away?” (Naofumi)
“He doesn’t really seem to portray that though……” (Naofumi)
Can that really be considered a boss?
He’s the troublesome type of enemy.
“It seems that the strategy is for the thieves to create a disturbance based on the leader’s orders, and the boss isolates and hunts the people who run.” (Female Knight)
I don’t get what you’re trying to say….why did they have such a troublesome way of fighting?
It’s a situation where as long as the leader survives, the lower ranks can be replaced as much as he likes.
It’s regrettable that Firo is absent. She’s very useful as a threat.
I’ll have to make sure Taniko stays silent.
“Well then, we’ll go around the area where the bandits appear and hunt down some monsters.” (Naofumi)
“Understood.” (Taniko)
“Kyua!” (Gaelion)
That said, we rode Gaelion and set off for some levelling and bandit hunting.
