“I heard from Ilia. Not only did you successfully become an adventurer, you’re also already doing amazing things.”
Fana, who had been on an expedition for a while, is now back. Apparently, she stopped by the Adventurer’s Guild first and Ilia told her about the things I did while she was away.
“You defeated a Goblin Lord, a Wyvern, and an Orc King. On top of that, you also caught a criminal with a large bounty…… You’re working harder than me.”
“It’s a coincidence, it just happened that way.”
“You’re humble.”
By the way, during this period, I took her words for it and is using her house. Of course, I used it properly and cleanly. In fact, I used purification magic to clean the house so it’s even cleaner than before. The contents of the closet are also thoroughly cleaned. Well, I already know exactly where Fana’s underwears are stored.
『Master, did you think I didn’t see that you were secretly hiding it in the subspace? 』
(What are you talking about? I don’t recall doing that at all.)
“Speaking of which, where did Fana-oneechan go?”
“I went to a remote village on a request. I defeated a B-risk Killer Tiger that came out nearby.”
“By yourself?”
“Yeah.”
She doesn’t form a party with anyone, it seems that she is a solo adventurer. I am still at B rank now, but Ilia said that it is only a matter of time before I’ll be promoted to A rank.
“Oneechan, you’re strong.”
“Who is stronger, me or Reus?”
“Hmm, would you like to check it out?”
“Hn, sounds interesting. I love to fight.”
I just tried to suggest it somehow, but she took to it more strongly than I expected. To want to test her strength against a baby…. her thought is really not normal at all.
And because of that, Fana and I came to the Adventurer’s Guild. There was a training ground in the basement of the guild, and we decided to have a match there.
“Hey, it’s Miss Fana.”
“And that’s the rumored baby rookie.”
“What are those two going to do? D-don’t tell me…. are they planning to have a match?”
The adventurers who were training there saw us facing each other in the center of the training ground and started to make noise.
“T-This is a sight to behold!”
“Needless to say, Miss Fana is the strongest B-rank adventurer who is said to be closest to upgrading to A-rank! On the other hand, that baby suddenly became a B-rank adventurer and since then, he has been accumulating incredible results at an incredible speed!”
“I wonder who is stronger?”
“As one would expect, it should be Miss Fana…… right?”
Ignoring the outsider’s voice, Fana pulls out the two swords that were strapped to her waist. On the other hand, I changed Lindwurm to sword mode and readied it.
“……Is Reus a swordsman?”
“I can also use a sword.”
“I see. That looks heavy though.”
“It’s okay, look.”
I swing Lindwurm, which was many times bigger than me.
“Hmm. It looks like there’s no problem then.”
“Right? Okay, here I come-”
I kicked the ground and closed the distance between me and Fana in one leap. Then I swung down Lindwurm from above.
Shiiiing!
An intense metallic sound echoed out. Fana parried my slash with two swords.
“It’s heavy. Where does that kind of power come from?”
“Who knows.”
I swing Lindwurm around and unleash one slash after another. Fana parried it lightly with her two swords. The next moment, taking advantage of a slight gap, she turned around and went on the offensive. I managed to block the storm of slashes with my leaping movements while using Lindwurm as a shield.
“W-what a great fight!”
“Or how should I put it…. that baby could withstand Miss Fana’s onslaught, for real right!?”
“But it’s clear that he could only defend. Isn’t Miss Fana better then?”
Well, no matter how much I strengthen my body with magic, it’s still difficult to fight with just a sword especially since my baby body is still fragile.
“Oneechan, I’m going to use magic. Fireball.”
A small mass of flame appears behind me. It’s a super rudimentary offensive spell, but it’s not just a fireball if I use it.
“Launch!”
“Huh!?”
Fana evaded the ejected mass of flame by jumping to the side the moment she noticed it. The flame that she dodged flew straight to the wall of the training ground.
Boom!!
It made a hole in the wall.
“……Eh? W-wa-what the hell was that?”
“Fireball? No, it’s not that powerful…… This training ground is supposed to be made of specially processed metal so it won’t be broken so easily…..”
“Did he just open a hole in that wall….? I mean…, in the first place, that baby can use a sword as well as magic!?”
It’s a fireball with a lot of flame condensed. Once you got hit directly, it will make a hole in your body like that wall.
