"What's a brave little scum of water doing in the land of the brave?　Oh?
　I thought that was a statement said to me, but apparently it wasn't.

　Standing there was a sharp-eyed knight in golden armor.
　He had blonde hair and group blue eyes.
　From the sumptuous decoration of the armor, he seemed to be a person of fairly high status.
　And he seems to have quite a bad character.
　Or rather, he has a bad gala.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey. Don't shut up, say something, hey, you little shit.
　Hey, that's a lot of stuff.

"Prince Leonard, who is he?
　I looked down and turned over, asking Prince Leonard.
''I'm Gerald-dono, the 'Lightning Hero' of the Land of the Sun.
'Oh?　You're Gerald "Sire"!　You don't think you're on the same level as the brave men and women of the weakest scum of the nation, do you?　
　What's with this country yankee-like brave guy?
　Unlike Sakurai-kun and Prince Leonard, isn't he too unrefined?

Don't you have to say that much?
　For now, I'll try to intercede softly.
　The lightning brave looked as if the trash had spoken.
''What are you?　Don't talk trash.
　It's been mentioned to me!

Takatsuki is a brave man of the Water Kingdom!
You've defeated an abominable demon!
　Sa-san and Lucy introduced themselves for me.
　It was hard for me to say "I'm a brave man" by myself, so it's okay.

'Brave....Takatsuki....'
　The man's expression changed to a grim one.
''You're a brave man from another world?''
I was just recently commissioned to be a new man of valor.
　I'll just say it.

Give me your hair.
　You're a punk!
　Well, he looks and talks like a thug himself.
　........just in case, he's a brave guy, right?

What is it?
　The man didn't respond, but instead threw one of his wooden swords in front of me.

'Let's make a match. Don't worry, I'll take it easy on you.
　He grins and smiles lecherously.
　Hmm, I only have a bad feeling about this!

''Makoto-san!　Don't, he enjoys teasing those he doesn't like like like like that!
　Prince Leonard shouts at me.
　Well, I figured it would be something like that.

'Shut up, scum. I was hunting over a hundred demons and dragons when I was your age. I had an abominable demon in my own country's dungeon and you scum that's trembling at home, you need to shut up.
....
　Prince Leonard is trembling in frustration.
　But I see.
　I thought it was normal for Prince Leonard to not go to dungeons because he's a kid, but I guess the brave men of the Land of the Sun are made to work even at 9 years old.
　Is there a labor code in this country?　Nothing.

Hey, what do you think? A brave man is a symbol of a nation's strength. You don't think he's gonna say no, do you?
　Mr. Lightning's brave man is agitated.

'Or you could be a wizard like the whore behind you, or a fighting woman with breasts like a chopping board. I mean, the women behind you are stronger than you, the brave one, aren't they?
　What the hell, you son of a b*tc*!
　Well, I'm right.
　The two guys behind me are stronger than me.
　However, I get miffed when people talk about my friends like that.

"Takatsuki-kun, that's fine. I'll take care of it for you.
　Sa-san is getting annoyed and motivated.
"Hey, I can make this guy eat a meteorite drop, can't I?
　To Lucy!　Oh, he was rather more temperamental than Sa-san.

'Well, well, wait a minute. I'm supposed to be the one to deal with, right?
Oh, that's what I said in the beginning, you idiot. Come on, man.
　I don't know, we're supposed to be in the capital of the largest country on this continent.
　Isn't the population low?
　Oh, you're a brave man and a nobleman.
　Isn't that a little aristocratic?

Makoto-san....I'm sorry. It's my fault.
What the f*ck do you mean? He's a f*cking lunatic.
''He........was originally the valiant representative of the Land of the Sun. But ever since Sakurai-san, the 'Hero of Light' from another world, stole his position, he's been in such a state. Makoto-san, please don't take it easy...
''Ahhhh I see........''
　So you're the one who was overtaken by Sakurai-kun.
　Poor kid.

　However, it would be disgraceful to take it out on such a small child.
　In the middle of the training grounds, the lightning hero is waiting with his arms folded.
　
　The warriors around us started paying attention to us, "What the hell is this?
　I don't like it.

　I'm slowly heading that way too.
　Honestly, I want to go home.

"Gerald Ballantyne, the lightning hero.
　The man called out his name while holding his wooden sword.

　Geez, wasn't the Ballantine family an aristocracy that you can't disobey?
　One of the five holy nobles of the Land of the Sun.
　I hear that their rank is the same as royalty from the Sun Country and beyond.......
　If you thought that you were not afraid to speak rudely to Prince Leonard from a while ago, that's what you're talking about....
　He's just making eyes at me, isn't he?

"Well, Makoto Takatsuki, the hero of the Water Kingdom...
　It's proper etiquette to say your name, right?　Maybe.
　I don't use a sword, so I borrowed a staff that was there.


　He tells me to make fun of me.
　From earlier, he said that Sa-san and Lucy are stronger than me.
　The fact that you can tell that I have less magic power means that you have the appraisal skill.

Ore, let's go!
　Without any signal to start, he suddenly rushed in.

　Ki, it's gone!
　Evasion Skill!
　In the nick of time, you avoid the blow Gerald fires.

　A horrifying wind noise passes by my ear.
　This guy.
　Are you going to go easy on me with this?

What's that turtle-dodging thing you're doing?
"Haha.
　There is a strong impact around my shoulder. Kicked?
　He aimed for the moment of rigidity after using the evasion skill.

Ora!　It's over.
　He was just about to give us more of a chase.
(water spell, ice needle)
Tsk!
　I can easily avoid one of my trump cards, unchanted, blindfolded magic.
　I'm sure you're not going to be able to get away with it if there's a certain level difference.

"You attacked me like trash!
　d*mn, I can barely see the attacks.
　Anyway, focus on avoiding only the sword attacks, any other attacks can be ducked.

''Gehoho.''
　Also, he was targeted after the evasion skill.
　Now I'm getting kicked in the back.
　Averted!　Averted!　 Averted!

'You're a pain in the ass!　Now crawl back downstairs and apologize!　Don't let a trash like you call yourself a hero, hey!
　I'll do whatever you want me to do!

　I should be avoiding it with my evasion skills, but the wounds are increasing.
　It's supposed to be a wooden sword, but it's sharp as if it was cut by metal.
　Is this what happens when you're covered in fighting spirit...?　

"Hey, hey, it's only going to take one sword. Or at least let them use their magic sword skills.

　You bastard.
(Water Magic, Mist) (Water Magic, Ice Needle)
　I try to blind myself once more while hiding my vision with the fog.

'Yuck!'
　As the brave man shouted, a gust of wind rolled up and blew everything around him.
　Outrageous!

Hey!
　What's happening?　
What?
　--Don!　I was blown away by the impact of a bomb exploding up close and personal.

　The taste of blood spreads as my mouth is cut off.
　I manage to suppress the feeling that my stomach is about to regurgitate.
　If I get hit again, I'm going to lose consciousness....

"Takatsuki-kun! True! Makoto!
　Lucy, Mr. Saasan and Prince Leonard came running up to me.
'You!　That's enough!　The truth is, I'm a wizard!
'Okay, Miss Lucy. I'll deal with you next time.
Makoto-san I'm coming with you.
　Lucy and Sa-san get between me and the lightning brave, screaming in anger.
　Prince Leonard is teary-eyed.

'Oh, wait, wait, wait, all three of you. I'm still okay.
　To be honest, my body is screaming, but I manage to wobble to my feet.

''Well you're an idiot.''
　A brave man of lightning who speaks in a heartfelt and ridiculous voice.

''Hey it's not good, is it?'' Master Gerald used to lynch people he didn't like and he's a brave man from the watery land, he's going to be in trouble someone go get Princess Noel." "I've gone to get Princess Noel,

　I can hear that voice buzzing around.
　Is this guy always doing this kind of thing........
　He's a nasty piece of shit.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?　Come on, all of you, come on. If I win, I'll take those two girls.
　Gerald, the brave man of lightning, smiling a prickly smile.
　.........So this is the brave man of the land of the sun?

"Women. I'm going to feed you in my bed. You should be honored.
Who's going to be with you?
　Lucy and Mr. Saasan give me a little curse.

'I'm the only one who has to fight.
　I push past Sa-san and Lucy and move forward.

'No!　Takatsuki-kun." "Hey, let's fight together!　The truth.
I'll be fine.
　I smile at the two men who are about to cry and I move on.
　It's not good.
　I mustn't let my friends look at me like this....


--Ah, honestly, it seems that ha(⋅)ra(⋅)wa(⋅)tha(⋅)is(⋅)boiling back(⋅).
　The 'Clear Water' skill is still in effect at 50%.


"Takatsuki-kun!　Are you okay?
You're a hero!
　Someone was coming.
　Fighting back the pain in my body, I looked behind me and saw Sakurai-kun and Princess Sophia.
　I'm sorry they saw my disgraceful behavior.

Stop it right now!
　Princess Noel stops her with a stern look on her face.

'....Noel?
　Gerald muttered, bitterly.
'What is he doing? He is a brave man of the water country. Do you think you can allow this to happen!
Shut up. Get out of the way!

　Oh, come on. That's great.
　Princess Noel is the first heir to the throne of the Sun Nation.
　She's supposed to be the most powerful candidate in the Western Continent.
　Are you allowed to use this kind of tone?

　.... no, that's not the point.

'Princess Noel. This is a match that Mr. Gerald and I agreed on. Will you let me finish it?
"You are a hero!　What are you talking about!
　Unusually, Princess Sophia is shouting loudly.

''Takatsuki-kun........''
　Sakurai-kun with a worried expression.
　I'm sorry for worrying you.

"Mr. Takatsuki-sama, brave man of the water country. I'll stop you if you're in danger, okay?
　Princess Noel stares at me with serious eyes.
''........Yes, that's very helpful.''
　I thanked Princess Noel, who was paying attention to us.
　Then I turned to the lightning brave who was folding his arms.

I'm sure you're not the only one. I'm going to be using a certain magic from now on, so how do you think you will win if you can avoid it?
What?　Bugger. If you have something like that, use it, trash. If I win, I'll chop off one of your arms.
　Geez, this guy is serious.

'Don't worry, I won't let that happen.
　Princess Noel will tell you, though.
　The doss hero in front of me is going to seriously cut off my arm........

''Well then, you all need to move away.
'Nonsense, nonsense. Powerful magic takes a long time to activate. I'll have to cut you down before you can trigger it.

　The people around us form a circle around us.
　...though I wish they'd step away from us a bit more.
　It's fine.

Oh, get a move on. Your little witchcraft.
Then I'll take you up on your offer.


　--I set the 'clear water' to 0%.


f*ck you!
　Gerald closes the distance in an instant.

(Water Magic, Water Dragon)

　Before that sword could reach me - a huge column of water shot up around me.

　A swarm of "...water(-)water(-)demon(-)law(-)water(-)dragons(-)" that I had dismissed ran around the training grounds.


I'm calling you guys. - Come on, let's have some more. - Are you in pain?　(Are you okay?)　　　　He made me do it. - He's so annoying. - Let's do it. - I'll help you.　　　　　　
Come on, let's play. - Okay, no, I'm just trying to kill him. - Let's have more fun. - Hey, are you okay with this?　　　　(You look so sad.) (I can't forgive you.) (Hey.) (Come play with us.)　　　　　　
I can't call you anything else... - I've got lots of friends... - See? - Yeah... - Come on, use your magic... - Hurry, hurry!　　　
　　　　　　　(Hey!)　　
　　　(See?)　
(Yay!)　



　--The chorus of spirits reaches my ears.

　They all spoke freely.
　During the fight, I kept talking to the spirits and more and more of them kept coming.
　Now, many blue spirits are flying around me.

　I borrow some of the 'Infinite Mana' they have.
　I use their magical power to continue to shoot super-grade magic.

''You're in my way!''
　A lightning bolt and a large tornado rolls up around him.
　The water dragons are unable to get close to Gerald.

　Gerald, the brave man of lightning, pushes forward while scrambling through the crowd of water dragons.
　Even if it's rotten, it's a brave man.
　I'm not going to stop with the extent of super-grade magic, huh?

　I'm not going to be able to stop," he said to Gerald.

I'm going to use a big magic from now on.

Huh?

　For a moment, looking at the face of Gerald, the brave man of lightning, who had a dubious look on his face.


　--Spirits, you know. It's more pleasing to expose your emotions.
　Noah-sama's line comes back to life.


　You're going to be able to get a good deal more than you'd like.
