“Instead of Shiznautmy, should we first take a detour and visit the elven settlement?”

“Oh!”

With the two of them hugging me, I had no choice but to sleep like this.

I guess from their perspective, they just wanted to make sure that I would stay… but there’s no way I would disappear.

That aside, before going to sleep, I wanted to ask about what we were going to do tomorrow, but Espie and Slayer spoke up first.

“We bought some land with Big brother’s money, and multiple barriers were erected around it, so the elven settlement is still going strong. Mr. Chieftain and the others have been wanting to thank you for everything you did for them, and they want to see you.”

“Since then, we’ve been visiting the elven settlement regularly and staying there too. I told the Chieftain that we’ll be reunited with Brother soon.”

“I see… the Chieftain.”

For me, it was just yesterday, but for others, just like Espie and Slayer, it had been over a decade since we last met.

And I was relieved to find that the elven settlement had survived all these decades.

“Yeah. Well, let’s go then.”

“Un! I’m looking forward to it ~! Besides, there’s a child who wants to meet Big brother~?”

“Well then, let’s go to bed early to prepare for tomorrow! Espie, you’re in the way so move aside. A slovenly body like yours is not good for Brother’s future education.”

“That’s not true~”

I’m having a hard time sleeping, but it’ll be okay for today at least. Espie has also grown a lot, but strangely enough, I didn’t feel anything weird about it.

After all, we’re family, …….

Well, maybe it’s because I’ve matured through various encounters and experiences.

Like Kron, Shinobu, and Sadiz.

Not so long ago, I would have panicked and gotten upset if a woman with a nice body got close to me, but I guess that means I’m not that kind of kid anymore, right?

Somehow, through all the encounters and battles I’ve had so far, I think I’ve grown a lot.

In fact, I survived encounters against the Six Supremacy like this.

I’ve gotten stronger――――

「Super Demon Spiral, Devil Spiral, Catastrophe!!」

「GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAeh!!!????」

I’ve grown, and I’ve gotten stronger…… and my slightly egotistical nose was crushed to pieces by an incredible force.

Well, in the world of Vier…… what else can I call it… a natural disaster, or the end of the world… basically……

「Ah~, Tre’ainar…… just now…… jeez, I don’t get it anymore.」

It was beyond the level of being dismembered or torn to shreds, every single cell was gone.

At this point, my only emotion was dread, or “what the hell was that?”.

I mean, I don’t even know if it was an evolved version of the Great Demon Spiral.

「What else can I say, Tre’ainar is still as exceptional as ever……」

I’ve been through fierce battles with Jamdi’el, Paripi, Norja, and Gouda.

With legendary title holders that were once rivals of my parents.

Now though―――

「Hmph, knowing you, having fought Norja and triumphed over Gouda in the past, you likely entertained the conceit that you could hold your own against me, even if slightly, in your current state.」

「Yes, I’m sorry! I thought so, dammit!」

After mastering all my skills – footwork, speed, technique, eyesight, foresight, and after that fierce battle with Gouda – I thought I was ready to take on the world.

But then, as always, I lost badly to Tre’ainar.

「My goodness, who do you think I am? Certainly, you have battled the Six Supremacy and even defeated Gouda. However, know this, I am the Great Demon King who led said Six Supremacy. To battle with me is akin to facing all six of them combined.」

「………… Ugh…… I …….」

Six people… Jamdi’el, Paripi, Norja, Gouda, Hakuki, and, though I haven’t met him yet, La’iphant…… all six of them at the same time… yeah, there’s no way I can win.

「Do you understand……? Tis true that I did perish once… however, I faced all Seven Heroes, the counterparts of the Six Supremacy, at the same time. So tis only natural that I would have triumphed over Hiro in single combat! In other words, child, you are far from my equal, with much yet to learn from me and countless trials to overcome!」

「Ugh……」

「That being said, I understand the joy of reuniting with your sister and brother, and although tis inevitable that they will accompany us on the journey from now on, but enough with the affectionate displays…… do not grow too complacent or idle! As such, the training with me shall continue unabated, understood!」

「Ah~, yeah, yes! Got it, Osu!」

「Hmm, that will do.」

I thought I had returned to this era stronger, but on the contrary, I just learned the clear difference in strength between me and Tre’ainar.

I almost slumped my shoulders a little……

「However, well… you have become stronger as well.」

「Eh!? Seriously?!」

That one word made my heart leap.

「Well…… mm-hmm…… were not so, Gouda would find no reward. He was not one to be bested through half-hearted measures.」

「…… I see……」

「Indeed…… you did well…… you accepted my wish and bore witness to Gouda’s final moments…… very well done……」

When I was told that, I was a little relieved, or rather, had peace of mind.

Well, maybe Tre’ainar was too embarrassed to compliment me, so he turned away, but I couldn’t have been happier with it, and my heart instantly became warm and filled with joy.

「Tre’ainar…… Hehe…… I’m going to get even stronger! I won’t let Gouda laugh at me…… and…… I’ve also got Aonii on my shoulders. So, I’m still counting on you!」

「Hmmph. You best brace yourself.」

I’m not strong enough…… not yet…

I promised Tre’ainar that I would still be strong enough for anything.

And……

「However, that will be all for today.」

「Eh?」

That’s unusual, since we usually train in Vier all night. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

I wonder if……

「Now then…… tis time you try impressing me with your cooking.」

「Hah?」

Tre’ainar materialized camping equipment, vegetables, spices, and more into the world of Vier.

「I too shall partake in your curry tonight. I will grade it!」

「Wh, what?」

In this world, Tre’ainar and I can materialize all kinds of things. We can even materialize the food we have eaten.

The food we eat wouldn’t fill us up and nourish our bodies, but it would give us a taste.

But why tonight?

「No, even if you say so, the taste itself isn’t that different from before…」

「Enough talk, just serve it to me! As we are about to journey across the world, I will evaluate your culinary skills, starting with the curry! After all, if we four are to travel together, it would be remiss that I alone am left out…… in any case, honing your craft in the kitchen shall also sharpen your skills and senses with your hands!」

And now that I’m stronger, not only will I not cut back on my training, but I have other things to do from now on.

Well, there’s no pain involved, so it’s fine.
