My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 3. Misunderstandings getting worse (8)

After the situation was settled, Urca began to cling to me.

“What are you? What was that swordsman just now? It was amazing.”

She follows me around vigorously wagging her tail.

“Go away.”

“Hmm, I like men who talk badly too. And to subdue such a man.”

What are you going to do about this, Phasma?

It was an unusual obsession for Urca to only hang herself on the strong to achieve her own goals.

[Oh my God. Although I have Eri.]

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that Mosol will do it, right?

This guy just wants to fight. For his own purposes.

Unable to know that fact, Phasma just said “Whoops.” I just laughed and spit out one after another.

Are you the only one bothering me? Isn’t that

“So what are you? Where did you come from?”

“Stop it.”

“How about doing it in moderation?”

As I was blatantly avoiding it, Tina and Iris intervened at the same time. Tina pushes her away, as if telling her not to come any further.

“I’m in a good mood right now, so I’ll take a look. Not twice.”

It reveals subtle hostility. Staring straight into Urca’s eyes, Tina grabbed her sword.

Tina stops Urca from approaching me again.

“Let’s try it once.”

“Ha, really… Babies…….”

“I cannot forgive anyone who makes Prause uncomfortable.”

At this point, I don’t think it’s a bodyguard.

“Urca, you bastard! Are you arguing again soon?! Come on!”

“Oh, Tori! You haven’t properly spoken to him yet! And that cheeky bastard has to eat honey chestnuts too!”

You sound like a honey chestnut. If an ordinary person gets hit, he will strike with such power that his skull will collapse.

Urca is dragged helplessly by Tori.

Perhaps it’s because we’ve been together since we were young, he seemed unreserved.

Urca was dragged into Tori’s room, pretending to defeat Tori’s power.

It wasn’t until the door closed that she disappeared, before Tina removed her hand from her sword.

“Tina, Iris.”

“Yes, Mr. Prause.”

“Thank you.”

“Ehehehe! Of course, Prause. No, Master!”

“Yes, four!”

“I have said it several times, but I am not a teacher.”

I finished the conversation after betting on her until the end.

It’s not late at night yet, but I wonder if it’s too much for tired people who have been camping all week and staying up all night.

In the meantime, why doesn’t this bastard, Dex, come out?

When I slipped into the room Dex had chosen, I found myself sleeping unaware of the world.

Ha ha. I didn’t even expect it.

Yes, I’d rather sleep. It’s better than giving useless information.

“Hey, Ph, Mr. Prause… ….”

I closed Dex’s door, and before I knew it, Maria was standing behind me.

She wiggles her hands and rolls her eyes anxiously. It seemed that the pretty walls were soaked with guilt.

“What is it?”

Couldn’t you be saying something about what I’m holding?

To be honest, it’s irresistible. That if I had only grabbed her arm and pulled on her, her shoulder might have been dislodged?

“Thank you… Thank you… ….”

She bent her back.

‘No. I’m really glad you didn’t get hurt. I should have saved you sooner. Wasn’t it scary?’

“No. Never mind.”

There are many more friendly words, but my muzzle won’t allow them.

“I want to do that too…… Prause-sama, why do you care about me?”

Why do you care?

For some reason, she couldn’t easily answer her words.

“Even if I knew that I would become stronger, as Iris said, there is no benefit to Prause just because I become stronger. If I were Prause-sama’s slave…….”

Okay. Without you, the empire will collapse, and I will die too?

There are many reasons to watch it, but there is nothing good to say about it.

Haven’t we been fighting over whether to use it or not?

I had to find a horse that suited her expectations.

After thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth thinking of something plausible.

“Because this is my role.”

“Yes?”

I don’t know why I was possessed. But at least it probably didn’t send me to this world to see the bad ending.

So this statement is not incorrect.

“That is all.”

I wonder if I should say more, but I decided to be content with this. Better than being filtered in some weird way.

“A role… …. Did you ask someone for a favor?”

“Do I look like someone who will ask someone to do it in your eyes?”

“That’s not true… ….”

“Again, nothing to worry about. Everything will come to light when time passes. Surely when that time comes, Maria, you will be a full-fledged adult.”

“Are you a saint… ….”

“Yes.”

“Can I be that great?”

Anyone can become an adult as time passes, so to say that he is a great person.

Um. Certainly, from the point of view of a child, adults may seem great. When I was young, I also longed for my very big father.

“It will work. Do not worry.”

“Even if I receive such expectations, it is difficult. I’m not as nice as Prause-nim sees me.”

“Okay. I don’t know about anyone else, but at least I don’t think you’re a bad person.”

With those last words, I tapped him on the shoulder and moved on. It was to find an empty room for Maria to sleep in.

* * *

“Prause, are you okay?”

“Does it look okay?”

His gaze scans my whole body.

“…… You look fine.”

Looking at it now, this man also had an iron plate on his face.

I can’t imagine a high-ranking aristocrat bowing his head to apologize to someone in the first place.

“As expected, when you become a sword master, even if you are Urca, you must have a hard time.”

“But I mean. Something fresh?”

Urca said while chewing on the apple the servant brought.

“Is it bland?”

“What can I say? Should I say I’m not strong enough? I touched it a while ago, but it didn’t seem to have much muscle.”

You son of a b*tch, was the reason you clung to me was to check my body condition?

“I didn’t even have calluses on my hands. Anyone who has handled a sword should basically have calluses, but this person had unstained hands that seemed to have never worked.”

A sharp one.

Looks at me while chewing on an apple.

“But the movements and aura swords were real. It was surprisingly fast. Even I couldn’t react.”

Urca’s gaze briefly turns to Maria.

“Well, even if you say that you can move as fast as you like if you become moderately strong, it’s not an aura sword, is it? That’s because you can do it only when you reach the level of a sword master.”

“What do you want to say?”

“I mean, what the hell are you doing? I’m curious, this. No way, there’s no way he made a sword just because he grabbed the sword once. You…… What have you done? With such skinny muscles and clumsy strength, he would never have reached the level of sword master.”

I’m sorry, but I grabbed the sword once and made a sword.

It was an aura sword that couldn’t cut anything, though. But first of all, isn’t it an aura sword?

…… No no

“Are you curious?”

“No, I think I know what it is.”

Urca stops me. At the same time, his expression darkened.

“Are you serious about me?”

Why do you come to that conclusion?

If you knew he was an anchovy man with not much muscle, wouldn’t you think he was cheating?

“You thought I couldn’t kill you? If Tori hadn’t intervened, I would have killed you.”

‘I know, I know. It’s killing me It must have been as easy as killing an ant.’

“You think you can kill me?”

This snout has no days off. I dared to provoke and fall for things that should have just been overlooked.

“I really want to kill this.”

He glared at me savagely.

Tina and Iris were wary and showed signs of interfering at any moment.

So I reached out my hand and stopped them from stepping out.

“Don’t keep living. Die.”

[Activates the skill 「Living」.]

As I strained my eyes to stare, Urca’s eyes widened.

It was a startled expression. But even that was short-lived.

“…… Aha! What is this!”

After blinking once, the surprised expression disappeared.

She was smiling. A blush formed on her cheeks and she couldn’t hide her excitement.

“Ahahahaha! Okay! Are you saying you weren’t serious? Interesting, this!”

Urca stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. She was the eyes of a beast that found its prey.

“If you think about it, your arm is skinny, but you blocked my sword, right? It could be a practical muscle like me. Yes yes then! Let’s stick together one more time in this place. Seriously this time!”

Her fist landed on Urca’s head as her hand naturally went behind her back.

Puck!

“Oh! Why do you hit me!”

Urka rubbed her hair with both of her hands, crying.

“Stop it, Urca. If you’re going to fight, have a formal duel.”

A formal duel…… ?

…… Hopefully, this child.

Is this what you were aiming for from the start?

Anyway, Duke Tori seemed to want to ‘officially’ prove that I had beaten Urca.

He seemed to think that it would be better to ‘convince’ Urca that way.

“A formal duel? That’s only a loss to me, an S-class, right? There’s a training ground in the back, so you can fight there and finish it quietly—”

“Don’t worry. Because Prause is the one who defeated Incuro.”

Has the information from the capital already arrived here?

But it was not a good rumor in the current situation. Like it or not, that incident makes me a ‘strong man’.

And that title of strongman acts as a catalyst for Urca.

“What?! You beat that lunatic? Oh really… The more I listen, the more I like it.”

“I don’t like you.”

“Okay! I’ll do it. Official duel. At that time, I and you will do it sincerely. I’ll make sure you step on it so you don’t say anything later.”

There was something owed to the duke’s family, but that part was at a level that was somehow covered with the gold he possessed.

I could have rejected the duke’s offer now.

But to end slavery without violence, it would be better to establish a connection with the Duke of Tory.

Otherwise, in the process of abolishing slavery in the empire and liberating other races on the side of Iris or Maria, violence was inevitable.

That was something that should never have happened.

Because an all-out war with the Empire is one of the conditions for a bad ending.

That said, it wasn’t a good thing that the fact that I had officially defeated Urca was announced.

The more he stood out, the more likely he was to meet people in high positions.

The more I do, the more often I fight demons, and the more I fight, the more I have no choice but to fight from all directions.

Could there be anything more dog-like than that?

“Is there a reason I should?”

“Are you lacking in motivation? Then how about this one?”

As he said that, he pointed at himself.

“I’ll give it to you.”

“What?”

“If you beat me, I’ll give you the ‘right’ to do whatever you want with me. Does this make you feel better?”

“Urca! What are you saying?!”

Duke Tory exclaimed as if he was absurd. Others were also showing agitation at her words.

Especially, Ariel reacted the most severely.

“Literally. Beast races are naturally attracted to strong people. Oh, that doesn’t mean you’re going to be a slave? It means I will follow you forever. How is it? Are you interested?”

Urca raises the corner of her mouth and grins.

Is it a charm and can’t you just turn it off, really?

Did you lose enemies with me in your previous life? Damn b*tch
