I found myself on a soft bed. There was an uncomfortable feeling in my right hand, and when I looked, I saw a dark-haired girl holding the right hand of 'me' and sleeping. She seemed to have been crying the whole time, leaving a trail of tears on her cheek.

　The right hand should have been severely burned by the war wolf boss's attack and was unable to move it, but...

　It was a perfect recovery, to the point where you couldn't even see the burn marks. After "I" lost consciousness, it seems that Sarion continued to cast a recovery spell on me.

　I'm not going to be able to get a good deal more than a few hours of sleep. I'm sure the magic of the other world is still amazing. I'm not sure if it's Sarion who's amazing.

　Whatever it is, I'm really glad that I was able to protect this girl - Tina.

　I'm watching Haruto's memories like a spectator right now, and I'm very nervous. I think he did well against several demons of roughly twice the level.

　But still........young Tina is so cute.

　I was watching Tina's sleeping face for a while, but when I moved my body a bit, Tina woke up.

''Good morning.''

Oh, good morning.

You saved me?

No, sir. Sarion. I don't have any...

　Tina tried desperately to use her heels, but the demon sealing collar prevented her from recovering me.

'Still, you tried so hard to talk to me, I could hear you. Thank you.

'I'm the one to thank you. Thank you so much for helping me.

　Tina lowers her head. 'I' stroked her head gently.

'I'm glad I was able to help you. Can you tell me your name, if you don't mind?

'Yes, sir! My name is Tina. My name is Tina-Haribel.

"Tina-chan? I'm Haruto, Haruto Saijo.

Master Hurt....

Did Tina get hurt or anything?

Yes. I'm fine.

　From the looks of it, she's safe. The collar and the handcuffs that held her in place have been removed. When escaping from the carriage, I was in a hurry and could only slash the chains that connected the carriage to Tina's handcuffs.

　Afterwards, 'I' told Tina that I came from another world. Tina was surprised, but she seemed to believe me. And she explained many things about this world to me.

　At this time, it was not long after the Demon King had resurrected, but the activities of the demons were becoming more and more active. The merchants who bought Tina were being attacked by high level demons that would not normally be in the area.

　And it seems that the threat of demons is increasing rapidly. Tina looks worried as she speaks that.

''What's wrong?''

''I am.............the blood of the brave. I have the power of a brave person. That's why I have to fight the demons.

　Tina was shaking.

　Does she think she'll have to fight alone?　Just because this little girl has blessings?　

　That's not right.

Don't worry. I'll fight you. I'm a brave man.

　Tina taught me how to get it out and I checked the 'I' status board.

　It was written there as occupation: brave.


　─ ─ ─ ──***──.

　For the next three months, 'I' was drilled by Sarion in the art of combat. How to swing the sword, how to use the body, and even magic.

　Sarion was strong. Even if I had Tina stand behind him and activate his guardian (skill) to fight him, he didn't stand a chance at all.

　Sarion would be able to defeat the Demon King........apparently it's impossible. The Demon King was protected by the blessings of the evil gods, and it was necessary to defeat those blessings.

　The person who can do that is 'I' who was given the power of a hero by God. It seems that Tina has the same power. Originally, the brave "I" was supposed to have the power to overwhelm the demon king.

　However, because she didn't take the time to visit the god who transferred her 'me', her only status and skill is 'Guardian', which is currently about level 40. It is said that there are tens of thousands of demons under the control of the Demon King and tens of thousands of other demons, but it was a heartbreaking thing to fight against the Demon King.

　I considered attacking the Demon King for the first time and leaving the task of defeating him to Sarion. This was Sarion's suggestion.

　As long as I could save the world, I didn't care if it wasn't cool, I was going to take Sarion's suggestion.

　But in order to do that, you have to go to the Demon King first. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier. That's why I decided to acquire a minimum level of strength under Sarion's guidance.

　Incidentally, Tina is also trained by Sarion. Tina has asked to train with 'me'.

　She was the daughter of a nobleman, a girl who had never held a sword or anything like that, but Sarion decided that now that the Demon King is back and the demons are becoming more active, she should acquire a little bit of strength to fight, so Tina will also participate in the training.

　Tina had a talent. She mastered sword skills at an astonishing speed, and also mastered magic.

　On the other hand, 'I'...


'Sweet, sweet, sweet! How many times do I have to tell you? There's no way you can tell your opponent's next move just by looking at them with your eyes.

Gulp.

　Every day, Sarion beat me to the punch.

'You can feel the flow of magic power. When a strong demon moves to attack, it uses its magical power to strengthen its body. In other words, if you can capture the flow of magic power, you can see the enemy's movements.

　It was explained to me many times. But there was no such thing as magic power in the original world, and it was extremely difficult to rely on anything other than sight while fighting at high speed.


''Halt-sama, are you okay?''

　After training, Tina worried about 'me' lying on the ground exhausted. I'm sure you'll be able to see that Tina is already almost able to repel Sarion's attack - it's shameful.

"I'm not okay, but... thanks.

　It had become a habit for Tina to always care for me when Sarion left the place after training.

　I was sweating, and I was covered in sand from being knocked over so many times, but Tina would gently lay on my knees for me, not caring that her clothes were dirty.

　I've been trained by Sarion until I can't move, so there's no way I can resist, and I'm at the mercy of Tina.

　Of course I don't feel bad about it.

　The elves are able to capture the magic of space in their bodies. The half-elf Tina, who has the blood of the elves in her, and I feel my magic power recovers faster when I'm in skin-to-skin contact like this.

　In those days, Tina looked like an angel to me. Even now, though, she's an angelic beauty.


　Much later, I found out that Sarion deliberately continued training until I couldn't move. As "I" grew, he switched to harder and harder training.

　And it wasn't just to make me stronger.


　It's not only to make the "me" stronger, but also to allow Tina to do as she pleases when she collapsed from exhaustion and couldn't resist at all.
