Chapter 283: 283

The 5th day of the Light month . On the warm, sunny afternoon, I was in the garden behind Lilia-san’s mansion .

This garden, which is somewhat too large to be called a rear garden, is also the place where Lilia-san’s mansion’s guard force conducts their training .

[……Hmmm . Seigi is like that now huh…… It’s not like I’m doubting Kaito-senpai, but I just can’t imagine him being like that . ]

[Well, putting aside if Mitsunaga-kun has changed, I’m just glad that he’s doing well . Thank you for telling us, Kaito-san . ]

When I told Hina-chan and Aoi-chan about Mitsunaga-kun, who I’ve met in the Hydra Kingdom again, Hina-chan seemed to be doubting the change in Mitsunaga-kun, while Aoi-chan was honestly happy to see him safe .

Well, Hina-chan was Mitsunaga-kun’s cousin sister, and since she knows Mitsunaga-kun’s well, she may be surprised by his change .

As I think about this, I look at the two of them while drinking green tea .

Hina-chan, dressed in trousers that look easy to move…… The same as she usually wears when she’s going for a run, and Aoi-chan, wearing a simple one-piece dress and a brown jacket .

They seem to be doing their prepared exercises in their own ways, while I was sitting on the side, watching the two of them .

[……Alright, all set and ready . Aoi-senpai!]

[I’m also ready…… Well then, best regards . ]

[Yes!]

[Kaito-san, please give us a signal . ]

It looks like they’re ready to go, as Hina-chan and Aoi-chan stood around the center facing each other, keeping a reasonable distance .

Then, Aoi-chan asked me for a signal, and slightly raising one hand, I waved it down with my call .

[Well then…… Start!]

With my signal, Aoi-chan quickly crouches down on the spot and places her hand on the ground to summon a magic circle .

[……Clay Golem!]

[Ohhh……]

Thereupon, the magic circle lets out a bright glow, and a large amount of dirt and mud flooded towards the magic circle…… gathering together and forming into a humanoid, mud giant of about 5 meters tall . When Hina-chan saw it, she lightly pulled her foot back and tightly clenched her fist .

[Fuuu! Let’s get serious now!]

At the same time as those words, Hina-chan powerfully kicks off the ground and heads straight for the golem at a terrific speed .

Hina-chan’s speed was moving at a speed that makes me feel as if she’s moving through a fast-forwarded video, but the golem immediately responded to her movements, raising one arm to intercept Hina-chan .

It’s a strike from a huge arm that could easily crush a human, but Hina-chan easily skips away, leaps onto the arm that had just been swung down on the ground and runs up to its shoulder .

[A- Awesome……]

[Hah!]

Then, running up the golem’s shoulder in an instant, HIna-chan twisted her body and with fluid motions, stomped the golem’s shoulder with a dropkick .

It feels like that drop kick holds great power, as a loud sound is heard and a large crack is made on the golem’s shoulder .

[Kuhh, this thing’s touch……]

[Fufufu, my golem won’t shatter so easily this time . ]

[Ueehhhh…… Its reaction time had also increased, how much magic power did you put into it……]

Unable to shatter the golem with a single blow, Hina-chan looked troubled and took her distance, avoiding the golem’s hand that was about to swoop on its shoulder .

Even so, the two of them were awesome…… Hina-chan is already able to move completely beyond human means, and I knew that Aoi-chan is learning how to cast genuine magic, but for her to make a golem that big…… I feel like I was left behind .

As I was thinking about this, I watched the battle unfold .

The reason why the two of them are fighting now is because Aoi-chan asked Hina-chan to help her test her new golem, which is something that is a rather common sight these days .

Incidentally, the last golem was about three meters tall and was crushed by Hina-chan with just one kick .

I don’t know if Aoi-chan is being quite competitive or not, but the golem she summoned now is greatly strengthened compared to the last one, and even Hina-chan, who boasts of her overwhelming physical abilities, was unable to easily defeat it .

Unnn, well, how should I say this…… The two of them got really strong……

[Auuuu…… I lost . Having a regeneration ability is unfair . ]

[Awesome…… Ah, no, thank you . Hina-chan . ]

After a while, it seems that the match has been settled . Hina-chan slumped down on the ground, while Aoi-chan clenched her fist and made a guts pose .

This time, Aoi-chan’s strategy seems to have clutched victory, as the golem that emphasizes endurance, adding a regenerating ability to that, the golem was able to withstand Hina-chan’s onslaught of attacks .

Well, in a real battle, Hina-chan would just end the match by targeting Aoi-chan herself with her fast movements, but since the target of this match is to test out the capabilities of the golem, Aoi-chan would certainly be the winner .

[The two of you did great…… Well~~ Even so, both of you have become really strong . I don’t think I’d be a match for either of you . ]

[Thank you . However, it can’t be helped since Kaito-san’s basic combat power is lower than ours . You’re also a different type of fighter . ]

[A different type?]

As I was saying congratulatory words to the two of them, Aoi-chan reacted to my words and said that I’m a different type .

When I tilted my head, not knowing what she was talking about, Aoi-chan continued while pointing at Hina-chan .

[If we were to compare it to an RPG, Hina-chan is a Warrior while I’m a Wizard . ]

[Being a Warrior doesn’t sound very cute, so I feel like I’m losing out to Aoi-senpai as a girl, but I can certainly agree with how she described it . ]

[Fumu…… Then, what about me?]

[ [ A Monster Tamer . ] ]

[……I see . ]

[Kyuii?]

They answered my question in unison . Looking at Lynn who was laying on my lap and Bell who I was leaning my body against…… I was easily convinced why .

It’s true that if I were to be likened to a Monster Tamer, I think it can’t be helped if my body’s fighting capabilities are low .

Well, that’s actually the reason why I was also called to this place……

[Anyway, Kaito-san . I’ve finally defeated Hina-chan! At last, it’s now Bell-chan’s turn!]

[……Are you really sure you want to do this?]

[Please! I just want to see if my golem will work against the monsters of this world . ]

[……U- Unnn . Well, if you’re going to go that far…… Bell . ]

[Gaoo . ]

Yes, the reason I’m being called to this place this day is because Aoi-chan wanted to let her golem fight Bell as well .

As for me, I was just worried about Bell’s fur getting dirty, but if she’s going this far, I guess it can’t be helped…… I’ll just bathe him again after they’re done .

Bell’s fur is one of my pride and joy . I bathe him often and never miss a day of brushing him, so his fur is shiny and fluffy .

Thanks to that, his fur feels as comfortable to touch as those high-class futons,so I often lean against Bell for a nap .

When I called out to him, Bell gets up and slowly walks to the center of the garden, with an expression that seems to say “It can’t be helped” .

[Bell…… Using your Breath is forbidden, okay?]

[Gaoo!]

And so, Aoi-chan, who wanted to confront Bell, also jogged towards the center and made a huge golem appear just like the one before .

At first glance, the golem looks bigger than Bell…… It really consumes quite a considerable amount of magic power, but Aoi-chan has the most magic power among the three of us, so she can manage to make a golem of this caliber at least twice .

[Well then, Aoi-senpai, Bell-chan . Ready~~ Start!]

[Guruaahhh!]

[……Eh?]

[Gao……]

Hina-chan energetically started the match…… and it ended in an instant .

It really just ended in an instant . As if he just found this battle troublesome, Bell waved his paw and the golem shattered by that one strike .

As expected on a legendary magical beast…… He’s on a completely different level .

[J- Just one strike…… Bell-chan…… is really strong . ]

Without seeming to be bothered by Aoi-chan’s slumped shoulders, Bell comes back to me and slightly bowed his head, as if he’s asking me to praise him .

[Unnn . Thank you, Bell…… Good boy, you did really great . ]

[Kuuu……]

Bell lets out a pleased purr as I pet him before he moves behind me again, returning back to his prone position he had before .

[Aoi-chan too, you did great……]

[U- Uuuu, as expected, I still couldn’t beat Bell-chan yet…… I still need some improvements . ]

[I guess so . ]

[Hmmm . What does this mean? Does that mean that Kaito-senpai is the strongest?]

[It’s not me you should be naming here, it’s Bell who’s stronger…… . More importantly, Bell . ]

[Guru?]

[Your right forepaw got dirty, you know? Show me that, I’m going to wipe it off, so hold out your paw . ]

[Gaooo……]

For now, the most important thing at the moment is Bell’s paw, which got dirty after smacking the clay golem earlier .

Dirt stains are troublesome to remove when they get dry, so I took out a large cloth from my magic box and wiped his paw .

[……Even so, I’m really tired . ]

[Unnn, I also agree…… I’ve almost used up my magic power……]

[Well, let’s go take a break then . There’s still some tea that Lunamaria-san brought…… Unnn?]

I called out to Hina-chan and Aoi-chan, who looked like they were tired, while wiping Bell’s feet, when Lynn suddenly moved in front of me, flapping her wings around .

[Kyuu, kyukyuuii!]

[Eh? You want me to leave this to you?]

[Kyuii! Kyukuukyukyuuiii!]

[So, praise me later? U- Unnn?]

[……Aoi-senpai . It looks like Kaito-senpai has finally begun to understand the language of monsters almost completely . ]

[……It seems like he’s completely become a Monster Tamer . ]

I thought I heard some people speaking rude things about me, but anyway, Lynn seemed to have something in her mind now, and she confidently told me to leave it to her .

In the first place, I didn’t really understand what she was asking me to leave to her, but I nodded anyway, and then, Lynn turned to Aoi-chan and Hina-chan and took a deep breath .

[Kyuk~~ Kuuuu~~!]

[Eh? Wha!?]

[W- What is this? These glittery stuff is!?]

Thereupon, Lynn released a glittering Breath burst forth like flowing wind, enveloping the both of them……

[Eh? Arehh? I somehow feel like my tiredness is disappearing……]

[I also feel like my magic power is recovering bit by bit? Could this be something like a “Recovery Breath”……]

Eh? Recovery Breath? Could Lynn, or rather, White Dragons release a Breath like that? Ohh, that’s awesome, and it’s something that would be really helpful .

As I was admiring Lynn’s unexpected ability, I heard something fall behind me, and when I turned around…… Lilia-san’s trio was there, with their eyes and mouths wide open in astonishment .

[……Wha, w- w-…… what did she just……]

[……I’ve never heard of a Recovery Breath before but, is Lynn perhaps a Special Individual?]

[T- That’s not it! The Special Individuals of White Dragons have different wing shapes . Lynn is definitely a normal White Dragon . ]

[As expected of My Lady…… You really know a lot about Dragons . ]

Arehh? What the heck does this mean? Somehow, I don’t know if I should say that I’m smelling the scent of trouble or not, but I feel like something ridiculous is happening .

Dear Mom, Dad———– I’ve reaffirmed Bell’s strength, and even witnessed Lynn’s newfound ability . However, it seems that this is———- an ability she shouldn’t be able to have .
