Chapter 388

After finished her inspection of the dungeon, Haku hesitantly returned to the capital .

She’s quite pleased with Rokuko service so she gives her generous tip, she also ordered more Melon Cream Soda and put it into her [storage]

In other cases, Aidi is still not leaving, should we cut off her time here and send her home, or shall we squeeze her wallet some more?

Well, I don’t know how long will I stay at The Demon Kingdom, so I’d better drain her wallet dry, for the sake of comfortable inn at our destination!

In case she decided to stay, I will surely entertain her and make her stay longer in very comfortable . . . . wait, where did she go?

I checked the map and found out she’s been hanging out in the open space behind the inn .

“Fufu, you are pretty good, puppy, let’s have some more fun”

"Kuh . . . I’m not done yet . . . tsu”

When I found her, it seems that she had a mock battle with Niku

I sit next to Ichika, she’s been sweating a lot . She probably already had her turn before Niku .

"Ichika, good job"

“Oh master, I’m sweating a lot right now, please wait a minute . . . [clean] . . . all right . . . , do you need me for something?”

“Are you someone who concerned about that? Well, I’m just checking out our honored guest, . . . it’s the person right there”

I’m looking at Niku and Aidi mock battle, their movement is reaching the level that cannot be followed by human eyes, it’s too fierce .

That Niku . . . she’s already quitting the realm of human being, this is definitely not just the power of cloth golem, she’s outperforming her equipment .

But the one that crazy right here is Aidi, she’s dominating Niku with a quite large margin, I wonder if she’s on par with Hero . . . Though the DP gain from her is zero because she’s a dungeon core .

"Master . . . "

"hmm? What's the matter Ichika?"

“I don’t think I’m suitable to be Niku-sempai sparring partner anymore, even Setsuna must go all out against her, can’t you think a better training partner for her in the future?”

“…yeah, I also didn’t expect her growth as beastman is this fast, I guess she’s special after all ?”

"It's abnormal to be able to move like that at her age . . . "

It means it’s normal if she’s older? Oh yeah, we do have an example case called Setsuna .

“Ah, Setsuna also unusual, don’t use her as a standard”

"As I said, I don’t understand beastman that well”

"From my experience, I will predict that . . . Niku won’t even lose to adult beastman”

What, she’s too amazing .

But the problem currently is . . . our Niku doesn’t have anyone to be her sparring partner in this village . . . I can see the future when she leaving the village while saying [I want to search for someone that stronger than me] I’m quite sure of this .

Just what drove her to be so strong . . .

"By the way, Master . I will tell you something interesting . "

"Nn, go ahead?"

"She . . . didn’t use the golem"

. . . eh? Are you saying that flash like movement is her own natural ability? That movement that makes her figure seems to disappear, the movement that is so fast so all I can see is after image…

“She could have more attack power with golem clothes, but she is faster without it”

" . . . That is amazing, Niku"

"Yeah, the Niku-senpai is amazing . "

How much further you will go, Niku . . .

If she faces an unskillful Hero now, I’m sure she can win .

That beast-like potential is certainly suited for Niku, I wonder whether I deserve to be the master of a wonderful slave like Niku . . . but to think about it, I think Rokuko’s luck playing a great part in here . Yeah, that makes sense .

"Come on! Come on! You can’t be finished with just this right?"

"Mu~~ -tsu"

A sharp attack with a wooden sword comes at Niku, she counters attacking immediately while avoiding the sword with a paper-thin margin, but Aidi guard her counter with a wooden sword, wait when you retract your sword back?

"Out of breath already ?"

"I’m Human, so . . . "

"Breathing is a weakness . Stop it during the match . "

" . . . Normally, impossible"

"Just throw it away? Those normalcy, boring things . "

No, no, she’s not a dungeon core, so she can’t throw it away, it would be bad if she throws it away .

Or are you saying you can’t reach Hero class strength if you are not prepared to throw away physiological phenomenon called breathing? then I’m fine being a normal person .

"I think I can't stop breathing for that long . "

"In other words, if you can do it then you're stronger than the ones who can't"

" . . . . I see . . . that . . . makes sense"

Niku knife aiming at Aidi’s leg, which she easily steps on and holds down .

"Attacking my feet is a good idea, but it has drawbacks . "

"Kuh . . . "

"I see, you avoided it . Good job, it was a very good decision to let go of your weapon, but you lose your advantage now . "

Aidi step on Niku wooden knife and trying to stab her, at that moment Niku let go of her weapon to avoid Aidi’s attack, good decision .

“But without a weapon, do you think you can win against me?”

" . . . steal your opponent's weapon?"

"Oh, that's a good idea . wonderful . "

Saying that she pulled out the fiery magic sword, and throw it at Niku .

Niku grabs the weapon and immediately cuts Aidi .

"!"

"Too bad, that weapon won’t hurt me, the wooden sword is better in that aspect"

The magic sword is disappeared as soon as it cut into Aidi, . . . no that’s a separate matter, the problem is Niku cut Aidi without a shred of hesitation, what will you do if it worked?

"So is that how it works?"

"Yeah"

I think she knew it, she knows there will be some countermeasure when Aidi handed over the weapon, so it’s okay to attack her? What's with that thought . . . scary .

In any case, it seems that the mock battle ended here, Aidi look at me and smiled .

"Welcome, Village chief did you come to play(duel) with me?”

"No, I just came to check on you"

"Ah, I was looking forward to playing with you, I heard that you won't even lose to Hero "

Here comes the misunderstanding, it’s true I won’t lose to Hero in resourcefulness, but I will not win at direct confrontation .

"Well, if you stay long enough, there will be an opportunity to do that"

"Ohh?, well . . . at worst you will drain my wallet, but at least I can play with Rokuko”

So with that Aidi declaring her intention to stay here longer . Well, it’s fine just like this .

… yeah, when Wataru comes, I’ll ask him to do mock battle with Aidi, and if Nerune is the one who asked him, this will be easy .
