“Haaaa!”

“Bugooo!”

Anje’s blow to the back of the head sent the guild leader flying. He rolled a few meters on the floor of the training ground and then crashed into the wall. We waited for a while, but there was no sign of him getting up.

He seemed to have fainted.

“……G-Guild Leader?”

It was Ilia who approached and called out to him.

“H-he is completely unconscious……”

When she described the guild leader’s state, Anje confirmed something.

“So that means it is a win for me, right?”

“Y-yes. I think so…….”

“Then, the recommendation is confirmed, right?”

“-uh, p-probably, ….…”

There were no cheers. In fact, the adventurers and staff gathered inside the training ground have become quiet, as if their initial excitement was a lie.

“From the beginning to the end…… the guild leader cannot do anything…..”

“He didn’t cut corners, did he……?”

“That’s impossible…… A-Anje was just too strong……”

Apparently, they were all surprised by Anje’s strength.

“Still, it wasn’t much considering his boastful speech. I didn’t even get to use earth magic.”

“Mmm. But, ……where’s my turn?”

“You don’t need it. It would be a child’s play for you.”

“Just in case, I’ll better confirm it.”

Fana approached the guild leader, who is still unconscious. She then slaps him hard on the cheek and tries to wake him up.

“Wake up.”

So merciless……

Since there is no other choice, I cast a healing spell on the guild leader.

“U-uu~un……”

“You’re awake.”

“I-, w-what……?”

The guild leader looks around curiously, I wonder if his memory of the moments ago is still out. Anje also approaches at that moment.

“I won. I’m going to get a recommendation, right?”

“Hiiiiiii!!!”

Perhaps remembering it, the guild leader let out a pitiful scream.

“I-, I-, i-it’s my defeat……! P-pardon me for my big mouth!”

He’s really scared.

“Should I fight you too?”

“Eeh? N-no, I’ll refrain from doing so!”

Fana asked but the guild leader shook his head from side to side with a tremendous amount of vigor.

“What about my recommendation then?”

“Of course I’ll make one for you too! So please let me go!”

……The impact of being hit in the back of the head may have changed his personality a little.

“That guild leader…… he’s tearfully begging a girl younger than his daughter with tears in his eyes……”

“He was a former A-rank adventurer too……”

“It feels good.”

“But I can understand why he was scared. No matter how I look at it, Miss Anje is too strong.”

“Could it be that Miss Fana is just as strong?”

“If that’s the case, that would be insane. By the way……, when did they get this strong?”

In the midst of all this commotion, Ilia looks at Fana.

“Perhaps…… is it Reus-kun?”

“Yes. It’s all thanks to Master. Anyone can become stronger in no time with Master’s help.”

Oi, wait!

If she was to say that right now…..

“Is that true!? M-me too! Please make me stronger! Pleaaaase…..”

“Me too!”

“Wait! I’m first!”

“I’m begging you too. I’ve been feeling sluggish lately and I started to feel like I’m at my limit!”

Hey! (Face palm.)

The adventurers who had been listening to the conversation rushed towards me!

“Me too! I want to get strongeeeeeer!”

Even the guild leader!? You are already retired from active duty now!

“Mmm. With Master’s power, there’s no mistake yo- Mmmphmph?”

I forcibly covered Fana’s mouth.

……It may be too late though.

“Please!”

“I beg you!”

“Please help me!”

“Reus-sama!”

“Please (Begging in dogeza posture)!”

I spoke to the adventurers who were desperately begging.

“I don’t want to, though?”

““““Why?””””

Because you are all ugly men!

The treatment of magic circuits is troublesome in its own way. It’s fine if it is a young female adventurer but it is absolutely impossible to treat these sullen men one by one. What’s more, if I promised the people here, those who are not here will also hear the rumors and start demanding for my help too.

In that case, let’s flee!

“Huh!? H-he’s gone!?”

“Where did he go!?”

“Look for him! He should still be nearby!”

With bloodshot eyes, the adventurers desperately searched for me who disappeared with a concealment spell.

Mmm, I should hide for a while.

My name is Dorje. I’m the guild leader here in the city of Volante. I, who was active as an A-rank adventurer, has been retired from active duty for more than ten years. However, I still continue to train and hunt monsters from time to time, so I am still proud to be as strong as those adventurers. In fact, even if I fight an active B-rank adventurer one-on-one, it’s most likely that I’ll win.

In order to take the exam to become an A-rank adventurer, one needs to be recommended by the guild leader, me. And, in order to judge whether or not to make that recommendation, I am personally fighting the adventurer. I believe that those who have had a good fight against me will be able to pass the main exam.

There are a total of fifteen B-rank adventurers currently based in this city. There is one that is too non-standard, so let’s exclude it…… Among them, there are two who think that they will definitely become A-rank in the future.

Fana and Anje.

Both are young female adventurers in their late teens. In terms of talent, they are the most suitable for reaching the A rank. However, they are still inexperienced, and considering their current ability, it will be a few more years away.

That’s what I thought…… As it turned out, it is said that these two people have defeated a monster with a danger level of A.

Giant Atlas.

I’ve fought against one during my active career. He’s a formidable opponent with tremendous power and durability. It was really hard for me to believe that they had defeated one. But if it was true, they already had the ability of an A-rank at this point.

Thus, I decided to conduct a one-on-one preliminary test with the two of them. All they need is to have the ability to do it. If not, it would be better for their future if they were to suffer a painful setback in this area once. After all, people who develop their talent at a young age often end up becoming arrogant or they sit with their hands crossed, and from there they stagnate.

“Who should go first?”

“I’ll go first.”

“Okay. Do you think you can win?”

“I’m not sure. But even though he’s a former A-rank adventurer, he’s not active now.”

“I can hear it, you know…… Just because you defeated Atlas, doesn’t mean a sure win. You’re going to get hurt if you got too carried away. I can’t lose to little girls like you yet!”

……As expected, it seems like they were too excited. These guys need to be thoroughly reminded.

Apparently, the first one will be Anje.

“Come on, come at me anytime!”

I hold up my halberd and declared so with great enthusiasm. Then, the next moment, I thought that Anje just kicked the ground, but she already closed the distance at an incredible speed.

“…..S-so fast!?”

I prevent the approaching fist with the hilt of the halberd.

“~~~~!?”

But it’s too heavy! 

Even though I know Amazoness are known as a fighting race, I thought it is only the fists of a delicate girl. However, the impact was as if I had eaten the charge of a high orc, and my nearly 100-kilogram body was blown away just like that.

What’s more, just that one blow made my arm go insanely numb!

“Uh?…… seriously….!?”

“Haaaaaaa!”

There was an even more relentless pursuit. I desperately moved my paralyzed arm and I managed to block it.

No, no, no, no! Wrong, this is very wrong! I am a former A-rank adventurer! Why am I so overwhelmed!?

During my active career, I even defeated Atlas almost single-handedly…….Well, I almost died too.

Hmm, wait a minute….

I heard that Atlas is the boss in that undiscovered area in the dungeon. The boss monsters that appear in dungeons are often worse than the normal species. If the two of them had defeated an Atlas that surpasses the normal species, then—

“!?”

She’s gone! Suddenly, there was an unexpected movement, and I lost sight of Anje.

Bad! This is bad.

-Uh!

There was a terrible feeling coming from behind me…..

“Haaaa!”

“Bugooo!”

Before I had time to look back, a strong shock came to the back of my head, and my consciousness went dark.

After leaving the dismantling yard, we moved to the training ground set up in the basement of the guild. The guild leader, Dorje, is also with us. This is because the guild leader personally wants to check on Fana and Anje’s abilities. It can only be said that it was that hard to believe that the two of them had defeated Atlas.

“Alright, from here on, I’ll deal with you two, one by one.”

“Ah? Guild Leader?”

“What do you mean?”

As Fana and the others were confused, the guild leader said,

“The qualification to take the A-rank exam starts with the recommendation of the Guild Leader. If you can show enough strength against me, I will make that recommendation.”

“For real?”

“Oh!? I’m on!”

“Hey, hey, I said, it’s only if I judged that you really have an appropriate ability to be one. In other words, this is like a preliminary exam.”

The guild leader gives a firm warning to the two of them who are overjoyed.

“Let me emphasize, the criteria for making recommendation is very strict. You know that, right? If I were to recommend someone who is not good enough, I will be rebuked too.”

“Should I defeat you then?”

“Then, I don’t have objection.”

“……Do you two really think you can defeat me?”

The guild leader’s cheeks twitched. Just then, perhaps hearing the rumors, adventurers and staff gathered at the training ground one after another.

“Is it really true that the guild leader is fighting?”

“An A-rank preliminary exam huh. It’s been a long while. The last time was when Bartia took it a year ago. Bartia was a B-rank talent, but he was beaten up by the guild leader, and in the end, he didn’t get a recommendation.”

“As far as I know, there was only one person who got a recommendation. I believe it was about three years ago.”

“That guild leader rarely makes recommendations because it would lower his evaluation from headquarters if he loses.”

“It’s self-protection. Well, even though he’s a former A-rank, he is inflexible.”

“Shhh!, he can hear you.”

……Maybe the guild leader is hated.

“Who should go first?”

“I’ll go first.”

“Okay. Do you think you can win?”

“I’m not sure. But even though he’s a former A-rank adventurer, he’s not active now.”

Fana and Anje are talking in whispers as they decide who’ll go first.

“I can hear it, you know…… Just because you defeated Atlas, doesn’t mean a sure win. You’re going to get hurt if you got too carried away. I can’t lose to little girls like you yet!”

Saying this, the guild leader took off his jacket, revealing his muscular upper body. In his hand is a halberd, a heavyweight weapon with an axe-like blade at the tip of a spear. On the other hand, Anje is empty handed, as usual.

“Come on, come at me anytime!”

Against the guild leader, who is full of enthusiasm, Anje also raises her fists. As the adventurers and staff gathered at the training ground gasped at the rising tension, it was Anje who moved first.

Kicking the ground, she closed her distance to the guild leader in one leap.

“…..S-so fast!?”

In one breath, Anje was right in front of the guild leader already. The guild leader barely caught her fist with the hilt of the halberd.

“~~~~!?”

Unable to withstand the blow from Anje, who is two times smaller than himself, his legs went flying in the air and he was blown away.

“Uh?…… seriously….!?”

“Haaaaaaa!”

There was no time to be surprised. Anje unleashes a follow-up roundhouse kick. Furthermore, her continuous attacks that followed from there left the guild leader with no choice but to devote his self to the defense.

“O-oi, she’s able to push back the guild leader!?”

“As expected, he’s really weakened with age……”

“No matter how I look at it, isn’t it because Miss Anje is just too strong!?”

As the spectators were stunned, Anje’s movements accelerated even further. She must have focused her physical enhancement on agility. In addition to that, she used Tenshō to kick in the air and showed a move that deflected the opponent’s expectations.

“!?”

The guild leader is unable to keep up with her movements and soon loses sight of Anje. By then, she was already behind him.

“Haaaaa!”

“Bugoooo!”

A powerful kick was slammed into the back of his head.

“You found an undiscovered area in the Rock Cliff Cave!? And by the way, you can make holes in the dungeon walls!? What’s more…., there are monsters with a danger level of B or higher in there!? Then there is Atlas, a monster with a Danger Level A? Lastly, you guys defeated him and so you brought back the materials……!?”

“Yes. I know it may be hard to believe at first, but it’s true. Me and Fana can confirm that.”

“Ha-, hahahaha…… I feel like I’ve been surprised by a few years in the last few days……”

Ilia lets out a dry laugh. Anje smiles wryly.

“I know what you’re thinking.”

“Anyway, Anje-san, thank you, it really helped…… I feel that the shock has been lightened somewhat thanks to the fact that you made me prepare myself properly before I heard about it……”

Huh? I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?

“There are so many unprecedented things that the paperwork for this is somehow difficult to handle! At least give us a little more time before taking action!”

“I’m not really taking action……”

It just so happened that there was an outbreak of orcs and then there was that demon, and I just helped. As for this case, I just found that there was an undiscovered area, and it was not my own fault.

“No, I really can’t tell. Maybe Reus-kun is attracting a lot of trouble.”

“……Don’t say it like I’m some kind of a plague god.”

I sighed,

“But don’t worry, it’s just a small hole and I don’t think someone would go inside it.”

“I’ve never heard that you can make a hole in the wall of a dungeon in the first place……”

We then head to the yard. First, I take out the corpses of the monsters with a danger level of B that we defeated in the undiscovered area from the subspace.

“Arm grizzly, and…… Griffon and Devilsnake……. These are all monsters that you can’t find near here……”

Ilia, who had left the window to another receptionist and followed us, muttered to herself.

“And, this is Atlas.”

“eh!?”

As the massive body over twenty meters slid out of subspace, Ilia was overwhelmed and slumped on the spot.

“This is Atlas!? Reus-kun, how the hell did you defeat such a monster!?”

Meanwhile, Badak, the muscular butcher in charge of the dismantling yard, tilted his neck as he examined the corpse.

“……No, it’s not. This guy wasn’t defeated by that little monster. If it’s a monster that he killed, I’m sure he’ll do a better job of not damaging the material.”

Could it be that the little monster he is talking about is me? Before I knew it, I was given such exaggerated name.

“What are you talking about, Badak-san? There’s no one else but Reus-kun who can defeat something like this!”

“No, you’re wrong. All of them are defeated by Anje and me, including Atlas.”

“Wa-whaat? Fana-san and Anje-san did it!? No, no matter how strong you two are, it would be impossible for you to defeat Atlas! That one would require you guys to be an A-rank adventurer. Uh-…..!”

“Ah!, I forgot to tell you about that…… Ilia, I’m sorry, but it is as you have said.”

“A-Anje-san!? Don’t tell me…., you two really became an existence outside of common sense!?”

“Uh-……. I don’t want to be put together with this kid though.”

Oi! Actually, it’s much more vexing for me. 

Right then, perhaps hearing the commotion here, the guild leader, Dorje, arrived.

“Good grief, I heard of it!  You made a mess again. Just try reporting it to the headquarters! I just got yelled at, saying that I’m ‘spouting lies’ again.”

“G-Guild Leader, please hear me out first!”

“What is it again Ilia? Is there something that hasn’t been reported yet, huh?”

“That…… uhm, apparently, this Danger Level A monster was defeated by Fana-san and Anje-san themselves……”

“……Huh?”

The guild leader was stunned for a moment, and then he excitedly said,

“Oh, come on, are you being serious? We are talking about Atlas, right? Even if A-rank adventurers form a party, he’s the kind of opponent that the party would have a hard time you know. And you just said, with just the two of them….? Oh well, it’s true that out of all the adventurers in this city, they are the closest to A-rank, but… even then, it would probably still take a few years…”

“~~~~~~~~~~!?”

Atlas, who was attacked by Fana in the face, was unable to let out a cry. His neck is about to fall off as he falls backwards, unable to move.

“Did I manage to defeat him?”

“…… Maybe.”

“Mmm…. As expected, I’m at the limit of my physical strength and magical power.”

“Me too.”

Fana and Anje get closer to check it out, but Atlas still doesn’t budge.

“Yes, he’s dead.”

““uh!?””

Perhaps because I suddenly spoke, both of them were so surprised that their shoulder’s jerked.

“Hey, don’t come out all of a sudden! You just scared me you know!”

“Yes. It’s bad for the heart.”

There was a strong protest.

“Ahem. Anyway, both of you had a good fight and you guys were able to put what you’ve learned in training into practice. It’s a sign that you have a good sense in fighting.”

There are many cases where even though the stats are high, they can’t make use of them in actual battles. Such people can’t level up quickly, so it is difficult for them to make a name for themselves.

“……I still feel uncomfortable when a baby says something like that.”

“Master is well-versed.”

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

When we returned to the city, we decided to head straight to the Adventurer’s Guild. This is because Anje has insisted that this should be done.

“We need to report to the guild about that undiscovered area.”

“Do we really need to?”

“Of course! It’s a dungeon that’s supposed to be for mid-level adventurers. If someone get lost in there without knowing anything about it, he would be in a serious trouble. Well, with that little hole, I don’t think many would fit in it, but still, just in case.”

“If we leave it alone, that hole will eventually disappear though.”

“……Huh? What do you mean?”

“Any damage, so to say, the hole I forced into the dungeon will be repaired eventually, don’t you know?”

“There’s no way I’ll know something like that……”

Dungeons have self-healing function. Therefore, even if you destroy a wall or floor, it will automatically return to its original state over time.

“If you use that mechanism, you can get an infinite amount of ore materials from the dungeon walls.”

“Use the dungeon wall as a material….?”

“Yes. It is imbued with strong magical power, so if you refine it, it will become a much stronger metal than the normal ones.”

Rare ores that are used as materials for adamantite can also be extracted. Well, that’s found in a more difficult dungeon, and I don’t think it’s in that Rock Cliff Cave.

“But I also wanted to sell monster materials so, I guess it was just right to go.”

“Don’t tell me….., are you going to take that out too?”

“You mean, Atlas? Of course. The size of my subspace is not infinite after all.”

“……”

While talking about this, we arrived at the guild. We went straight to Ilia, the receptionist who is always indebted to me.

“Oh~, Isn’t this unusual? I mean, for Fana-san and Anje-san to be together.”

“Hn. We’ve become good friends.”

“W-we are not really good friends! It’s just that I have the same goal as you, so I have no choice but to stay with you!”

“……Goal huh?”

“We’re receiving guidance from Master.”

“Master……?”

Ilia looked confused. I stick my head out on the counter and greeted her.

“Hello Ilia-oneechan.”

“Eh!? Reus-kun!? Are you also with them?”

“Yep. Reus is my master.”

“Ma-……What do you mean?”

I explained it to Ilia.

“I’m teaching them a lot.”

“I-, I see… A baby giving instructions to a B-rank adventurer… It doesn’t make any sense if I just listen to your words. But it’s Reus-kun after all, so it is.”

Ilia then continued the conversation with a stunned face.

“So, what are your here for today?”

“Well, it’—.”

“Wait a minute!”

“……?”

When I was about to speak, Anje interrupted me from the side.

“I’ll speak on your behalf. Ilia, you should prepare yourself before you hear it.”

“Ah? This pattern means that Reus-kun has done something again……”

Ilia’s face stiffened.

“Oaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Noticing our intrusion, the boss, Atlas, roared.

Boss monsters are powerful monsters that appear in dungeons. It is an order of magnitude stronger than other monsters, and therefore it is not easy to defeat. By the way, there’s another boss on the regular route here in the Rock Cliff Cave, it’s an Elder Kobold. Atlas is the boss of this undiscovered area.

“Hey, wait a minute! Are you saying we are going to fight this!?”

“It’s okay. You two just need to work together.”

“It’s impossible for two people, right?!”

While Anje was protesting, Atlas came rushing towards her with a huge tremor.

“Then, I’ll be hiding over there.”

I disappeared with a concealment spell.

“Huh!? He’s gone!?”

“……We have to do it.”

Fana holds her sword as if she has made up her mind. Then Atlas steps down to crush them.

Zudoooooong!

With a terrific reverberation, the ground shattered, but before they were hit, Fana and Anje had flown to the left and right side of the monster. Perhaps deciding that it would be a bad idea to land on the ground that keeps shaking, they kick in the air and fights back against Atlas.

“Eiiii!”

“Haaa!!”

Their attacks each slammed into Atlas’s massive body.

“…… It’s not working.”

“Tsk! As expected, it’s gigantic and sturdy!”

It seems that the result was not as good as they expected so both of them frowned. Still, it must have hurt Atlas in its own way as it let out an angry roar and swung its massive arms around as hard as he could.

“~~~~~~!?”

—Fana and Anje were hit directly and are blown away. They crashed into the wall of the dungeon with tremendous force.

“Ugh…… It hurts.”

“It just swung its arm and it did this damage……uh-, It’s too powerful…… isn’t it?”

It seems that they are safe.

Yes, nice. It looks like they have protected their selves by focusing defense on their body as I told them. It’s application of body enhancement magic. By concentrating the enhancement on a specific ability, the amount of enhancement jumps many times over. Of course, it is also possible to focus on strengthening the offensive power.

“Oaaaaaaaaaa!”

Atlas roared in agony at the attack they had unleashed in return. The reason why it is clearly taking more damage than before is probably because they focused on strengthening their attack power at the moment of attack.

Still, it got a huge body. It’s not so easy to defeat.

Atlas swings its arms around again and tries to knock them down as they fly through the air. But they’re not stupid enough to eat the same hand over and over again. Predicting the attack from Atlas’ preliminary movements, they used Tensho to dodge.

Enraged, Atlas steps on the ground and causes an earthquake, but it has no effect on Fana and Anje who are in mid-air. On the other hand, the attack of the two was also not doing much damage. After all, Atlas is gigantic, and it seems to have a certain amount of durability. No matter how much their magical power has increased, if this continues, the magical power they have may be depleted first.

With that in mind, they went for a decisive battle.

“I’m going to knock it out of position, then you’re going to hit it with all your might!”

“Mmm, I understand.”

Fana responds quickly to Anje’s instructions and takes a big step back to keep her distance. Atlas tries to chase after Fana,

“I’m your opponent!”

Anje hits Atlas with a strong heel drop, aiming for its toes.

……That hurts.

“Oaaaa~~~~!?”

With a cry of agony, an enraged Atlas tries to trample Anje under its feet, but she manages to dodge it. At that moment, one of Atlas’ feet suddenly began to sink to the ground.

“~~~~!?”

“…… It’s bothersome but I’m glad I learned it.”

It is an earth spell that liquefies the ground and reduces the opponent’s mobility. She activated her magic while fending off Atlas’ attack. Atlas loses balance and falls to the ground.

“Now!”

“Yes!”

Fana, who had been retreating, dashed forward while wrapped in wind. She turned into a gust of wind, delivering a powerful lunge towards Atlas who had descended to a low position. Atlas’ face met such strong rush.

“Y-you made a hole in the dungeon wall!?”

Anje exclaimed in astonishment.

“Yes, is there a problem?”

“No, no, no, you can’t break the walls of the dungeon you know!? It’s common sense!”

“Common sense? Then, don’t you think that common sense is wrong?”

The walls of the dungeon are indeed hard. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary rock, but perhaps because it is charged with magical powers, it is many times stronger than a simple rock. I guess they mistakenly think that they can’t break it because of that…….

“If you hit it with more force than that, it will break normally. However, it’s not worth the effort, so I don’t do it much.”

It’s easier and faster to take the route that you can take.

“But there are some areas where you have to break through walls and floors to get there, like here.”

“……When I’m with you, my common sense is being destroyed more and more……”

“Hmm….Master is well-informed.”

While they are having such an exchange, the monsters start attacking us.

“Uh-…… they’re coming!”

“I’ll intercept it!”

“Guruaaaaaaahhhh”

The first thing that jumped at us was the arm grizzly.

“Haa!”

“~~~~~~!?”

Anje dodged the giant arm that was swinging at her and jumped into the grizzly’s bosom, slamming a powerful fist into its stomach. The arm grizzly’s giant body was blown away and crashed into the dungeon wall with all its might.

“……Eh?”

“Gu-rua.…”

“Oi, isn’t it weak? Is it really an arm grizzly?”

Meanwhile, Fana cuts down the Armored Beetle, ignoring its hard armor.

“Mmm. Weak.”

“Garurururu!!”

“Oop.”

A griffon glided from behind, but I dodged it by leaping lightly. I also used the Tenshō I had taught them to kick through the air, severing the griffon’s wings.

“Gaaarrr!?”

The griffon crashes and slams to the ground. Gliding quickly, I thrust my sword into the back of its neck.

“Shaaaaaaaahh”

Almost at the same time as the griffon’s death, a ten-meter-long Devil Snake with deadly poisonous fangs bares its fangs and pounces on Anje.

“Haaaa!”

“~~!?”

But Anje landed a punching kick to its lower jaw that blew the devil snake’s head wide open. As the devil snake shakes its head in pain, she jumped in the air as if to pursue it and with a mid-air jump, she drops her heel to the top of its head. The devil snake stopped moving right after.

Then the two of them overwhelmed the horde of monsters, which was equivalent to danger level B. When they have cleared it out without danger, they looked at each other.

“Hey, this…. it’s not that the monsters are weak, maybe we….…”

“……Mmm. Maybe we’ve gotten stronger.”

Apparently, they have finally realized how fast they have grown.

“I-isn’t this amazing!? I can’t believe that a monster with a danger level of B seems to be such a small fry! No matter how many come at once, I feel like I can easily annihilate them now!”

“Thanks to Master”

Fufufu, then, can you hold me with your bare breast as a thank you?

Well, of course it’s thanks to my guidance, but both of them have a good sense of style. In this short period of time, they have mastered Tenshō, and they have become accustomed to fighting while maintaining their physical strength.

“Hmm, but even the monsters in this level don’t provide much training. Let’s go deeper.”

We moved through the undiscovered territory for a while. Then we had reached the place.

“Alright. I’m going to have you two fight him now. I think it’s going to be just the right amount of training.”

We are in a huge space. Waiting inside is a humanoid monster that must be more than 20 meters tall.

“T-then, this guy is the boss!?”

“Hmm…… it’s Atlas…… one with danger level A.”

A boss monster in this undiscovered area. The giant monster, Atlas.

“Oaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Noticing our intrusion, Atlas roared.

That very same day, we went to the dungeon “Rock Cliff Cave”.

The other day, a demon produced modified monsters here. All of those monsters have already been taken care of and peace (?) has been restored.

“Today, we’re going to have a practical training session here. We’re going to test the results of your training so far against the monsters here.”

Both Fana and Anje have grown so much under my guidance. My idea for doing this is to test their results in actual battle.

Anje raised her eyebrows when I said our goal here,

“What are we going to do when we come to this dungeon now? If we’re going to do practical training, wouldn’t it be better to go to a dungeon with higher difficulty?”

The recommended rank here in “Rock Cliff Cave” is D to C. In other words, the difficulty level was suitable for mid-level adventurers, such as D-rank adventurers and C-rank adventurers. However, near the city of Volante, there is another dungeon with a recommended rank of C to B: The Waterfall Lake Cave. As a B-rank adventurer, Anje insists that we would be better suited for it.

“The difficulty level is too low there and it won’t be practical for the current Oneechans.”

When it comes to the types of monsters that can be hunted there, the Waterfall Lake Cave is probably more suitable for lower B-rank at best. The ability of the two of them, who have grown so rapidly in such a short period of time is nothing short of adequate.

“But it’s even less suitable here.”

“That’s right. After all, there are only more small fry here than in the Waterfall Lake Cave.”

“It’s okay. Anyways, let’s go to the area where that demon was last time.”

And so, we advanced further and further into the dungeon. Of course, all the monsters that appeared were instantaneously killed. Eventually, we arrived at the place where I clashed with the demon.

“Do you mean to say that there are still survivors of that modified monster?”

“That’s not true.”

Kaa-chan and the others did a good job of annihilating them, and after that, I used search magic to properly investigate the area, so I’m pretty sure.

“Look, it’s this way.”

“Huh? The wall?”

“There’s nothing.”

I took the two of them in a small hollow.

“Take a closer look.”

If you look at it from the front, it looks like a nondescript depression. However, as we got closer, I could see what appeared to be a side hole there. Moreover, the hole was so small that an adult would barely be able to crawl through it. As I’m the smallest, I can pass through it while standing. Fana and Anje were also not large, so they were also able to pass easily. ……Well, on the way, Anje’s boobs even got caught a little.

A dungeon continued beyond the hole.

“To be able to find a secret passage like this, you’re such a good seeker huh.”

As Anje was impressed, a monster appeared from inside.

“Guruaaaaahhhhh”

“Uh-, Arm Grizzly!?”

It is a giant bear monster that is characterized by its front legs being larger than its hind legs.

“It’s a monster with a Danger Level B. It shouldn’t be in this dungeon!”

That’s not all. In addition to the first one, other monsters appear one after another.

“M-manticore!? And even Armor Beetle!?”

“Over there is a Devil Snake! There’s also a Griffon.”

“All of these monsters are of danger level of B or higher, right!? W-what is this place!? Is it really still Rock Cliff Cave!?”

“I don’t know anything about this place…… perhaps… is it an undiscovered territory?”

“Exactly.”

Undiscovered territory. As the name suggests, it’s an area of the dungeon that hasn’t been discovered yet.

“Plus, it looks like this place is also a danger zone.”

The difficulty of the dungeon increases as you go deeper or lower into the dungeon, but sometimes, contrary to the general trend, the difficulty level suddenly jumps up. It’s called a danger zone, and it’s usually something that people are warned about at the entrance of a dungeon or such information is shared in the Adventurer’s Guild.

“It’s an undiscovered danger zone…… the difficulty level has now increased significantly……”

“Hmm. This place might be better than Waterfall Lake Cave then.”

By the way, I found this place with search magic.

“I thought there was a strong monster on the other side of the wall, but I couldn’t find a way to get there, so I made a hole in the wall. If it’s too big, the monster will be able to pass through, so I kept it small.”

That’s the hole we just went through. In fact, it was not originally there.

“Y-you made a hole in the dungeon wall!?”

“Yes, very good. You two, your magical power is steadily increasing.”

“Mmm. It’s less depleting than it was at the beginning.”

“Indeed! I’m able to maintain my physical strength for a long time!”

Thanks to my guidance, the amount of magical power between the two of them has increased greatly since then. They seem to feel that too. After that, I have been accompanying them in training.

As Fana still calls me her master, I have really taken an apprentice. In return, I’m enjoying her breasts. Anje still seems to be a little reluctant, but maybe because she feels guilty that I’m teaching her for free, she hasn’t refused to hold me lately.

……In addition, I asked Bahamut to enter my subspace first. Of course, it’s a different space from the subspace where Lindwurm is. Bahamut gets jealous just because I’m with a woman, and I don’t know what to do so I ended with putting it inside my subspace. However, if I put it inside for a long time, it will say, “I am not needed after all…… I will just blow myself up”. In the end, I have to take it out on a regular basis.

“Well then, why don’t you go out of your way and learn some practical techniques using that magical power?”

““Practical techniques?””

“Yes. It’s extremely useful for vanguard positions. Take a look at this.”

I kicked the ground and jumped up. Once in the air, I jumped again.

“…… Did you fly twice?”

“W-wait! What’s going on!? How can there be such kind of magic?”

Both of them were surprised. I decided to teach them how the technique I just showed work.

“It’s not really a magic spell. I just created a mass of magic under my feet and used it as a platform to jump in the air. It’s called ‘Tenshō.’”

This is also a technique that the sword god taught me in my previous life, but it is the most rudimentary of the basics. It was much easier than shrinkage, and even though it wasn’t that difficult for this baby body, it was a useful technique that was effective in various situations.

“If you can use it to move three-dimensionally, you’ll be much more mobile and you’ll be able to fight enemies that are much bigger than you.”

“That’s amazing.”

“But-, can we use something like that too……?”

“With practice, you should be able to use it quickly. I think you’re already starting to grasp the flow of magic with your body strengthening magic.”

By the way, you might think that Fana could do something similar with wind magic alone. It’s certainly not wrong, but this Tenshō is much more recommended than using wind magic, which is difficult to control. Since it uses non-attribute magical power, Tenshō is also excellent for quick response.

“Besides this, since your magic power has increased, I think Anje-oneechan should also practice earth magic.”

“Why earth magic?”

“If you look at your magical power, you can usually see what attributes you’re good at. Fana-oneechan is wind magic and as for Anje-oneechan, you have magical power that is suitable for earth magic.”

“I’ve never even practiced it, let alone…… used it before. Besides, earth magic is kind of plain…… don’t you think?”

It is true that earth magic has a plain image. Among the four basic elemental magics of fire, water, earth, and wind, the most popular is probably the flashy fire magic.

“But earth magic is useful in many ways. Fire magic seems to have the highest attack power, but earth magic is surprisingly more powerful. In addition to that, you can also use it in various ways, such as turning the ground under the enemy’s feet into mud to slow them down or blocking attacks with an earthen wall. I think it will give you a wider range of ways to fight.”

“I don’t like to use those kinds of tricks though……”

“Anje-oneechan is such a muscle-brain huh. Not all enemies can be beaten head-on you know. If you can use earth magic in such a case, you may be able to break the situation.”

“Hey! I don’t know what that muscle whatsoever is, but I feel like I’ve been insulted!”

Anje is indignant, but next to her, Fana nods in agreement to me and mutters, “Hmm, for sure, Anje is a muscle-brain.”

……Fana too, you can’t just say that to people either.

Shining.

“…..You’re here.”

There was a flash of light in the sky and then it came down at breakneck speed. Even though I still wonder if I made the right decision, I welcomed it.

Zudooooooong!

It pierced the ground, and a fierce cloud of earth smoke billowed. Before it clears up, a staff pops out of the smoke.

『Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Masteeeeeerrrrrr! I finally met you! I finally met you! I finally met youuuuuuuuuuu!』

It is a jet-black staff, in contrast to the pure white Holy Dragon Staff Lindwurm. It rushed to me, and I was crushed.

“Ugh… H-heavy!”

『Sniff-Sniff-Sniff~, Ahhhhh~, it’s definitely the magical power of my beloved Master! You’re in the form of a lovely baby too……! Ahhhhh~ I can’t stand it u-u-uuu!』

“You’re so heavy! I’ll be crushed! You-!”

I kicked the jet-black staff and forcibly pushed it away. Then, as if the extreme excitement just now was a lie, it timidly said,

『Uh-, M-master is angry? Could it be……Master…… hates me? Then, there’s no point in existing anymore…… I-I’ll just blow myself up…….』

“O-oi! W-wait! I don’t hate you! I don’t hate you, okay? Don’t try to blow yourself up as soon as you come!”

『……R-really? You don’t hate me……?』

“No! I don’t hate you and I won’t!”

『That’s good…… Ufufu…… Nevertheless…… Master turned into a baby huh…… You’re so cute and very lovely.』

This is a terrifying drop in tension. Yup, this is why I didn’t want to call it. This is my other beloved staff—Bahamut, the Dark Dragon Staff.

Although they are both intelligent weapons, unlike Lindwurm, who is always calm and collected, Bahamut is extremely emotional. Moreover, as you can see, it has a yandere temperament. It is quite difficult to handle.

『Even though you have reincarnated…… knowing that you rely on me…… I’m very happy…….Ufufu~』

“I-, y-yeah, that’s right.”

I was forced to agree. Then as if it sensed something, Bahamut asked in a low voice,

『…… Master? Of course, you relied on me first…… Right?』

“O-of course!”

『…… Really? Isn’t that evil one here……?』

The evil one it was talking about is Lindwurm. Even though they were both my staff, they didn’t get along very well and often fought with each other.

“No, not here.”

If I tell the truth here, it may try to blow itself up again, so I decided to deceive it. Though I feel bad, when Lindwurm wakes up, I’ll try to get him to say that he came later.

　　　　◇◇◇

When Reus was training early in the morning outside the city, a pair of traveling merchant brothers happened to be passing by on a nearby road.

“……S-surely I’m just mistaken, right?”

“Y-yeah, I suppose so, brother.”

The two of them try to convince themselves. The brothers, who did business in villages and towns around the country, often traveled in the middle of the night or early in the morning.

On that day, they were traveling along the road in the early morning in a horse-drawn carriage, and at that time, they witnessed a ridiculous sight.

—It’s a human baby that runs through the ground at incredible speeds. At first, they thought it was a wild dog or a wild rabbit, but when they took a closer look with a telescope, they realized that it was a human baby. Moreover, the baby is only a few months old at most. When they looked further, they realized that the baby wasn’t just running. He was flying and bouncing, and he was swinging the sword in his hand vigorously.

“T-There’s no way a human baby can move around like that.”

“It looks like he’s shouting something too……”

“But…… If that’s really the case, what on earth is he?”

They look at each other, and the brothers tilt their heads in unison.

And that was then.

Zudooooooong!

There was a tremendous sound and vibration. Wondering what was going on, they looked in the direction of the smoke and what they witnessed, —it was a staff floating in the air, and for some reason there was the baby from earlier, who was conversing with it.

“H-hey…… it looks like the baby is talking……uh-, I think I’m hallucinating…..”

“Brother, unfortanately me too.”

After this, they decided to take a long vacation for a while, thinking that they were “apparently too tired from overwork”.
