SHIT!!!!

　I forgot the most pressing issue!

　Whenever Radey and Zebiantes run into each other, it will be a fight.
　You know I've been trying to avoid that all day long, left and right!

　It couldn't be the end of the story of memories.

''Zeviantes, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army, 'Huafu'. Come to think of it, I crossed blades with you once.

　It seems.........

''At that time, we only fought back and didn't settle the matter, but now that we've met like this, this is our opportunity. I'm going to hold your breath and break one of the Four Heavenly Kings!
"Mmmmmm, she's a feisty little b*tc*, and she can't stop barking.

　Zebiantes exudes the dignity of a strong man, which is often forgotten these days.

You are the one who forgot the most important thing. The reason why I fell behind in the last battle was because that spearman was an eyesore. And that obstruction seems to be out of sight now, too, doesn't it?

　Yes!
　The brave party's spearman, Sesha-san, is out on a quest for the village guild and won't be back for a few days!

If it weren't for him, it would have been me, of course. And you're willing to die for it?
'I will not be defeated. As long as the hope of the race is in the name of the brave!　Accept my challenge, Four Heavenly Kings of the Wind!
"Phew, I don't like it here!
What?

　What's that terse reply?

"...because your mom said, 'If you act up in here, I'll kill you? He's looking at me like...!

　That was Malika.
　It is true that the wrecking of the dinner reunion would be against her.

''Well that's true. We should probably change the place and time.''

　Radey was also scared.

'Then the next morning we'll fight on the plains outside the village, where we won't be bothered by the surroundings. We'll show them fair and square.
'What?　We're going to fight over there again, aren't we?

　For Zebiantes, it was also the site of the battle where he suffered a disastrous defeat to me.

''Well, it's okay, it's going to be just the right victory to rewrite the unpleasant memories.

　It was all decided in the blink of an eye.
　An imposing duel between a brave man and the Four Heavenly Kings?

When it's decided...!
I'm going to bed early today!

　While giggling, we both ate our meals well.
　We ate cleanly without leaving a single crumb of bread, and dinner was over.

'I have to take a bath before I go to bed!　Otherwise, I wouldn't sleep well!
'It's my line!　I'll be the first one to take a bath!
'You'll get enough sleep and have the upper hand if you take a bath first!　So I guess that means the fight has already begun!
'You can't lose!'

　Radey and Zebiantes walked out, pushing each other away.
　They must be planning to go to the common bath (sauna) provided in the village.

'You should at least clean up your own food plates and go...'

　The plates for both of them were stacked and taken to the washroom, as if Marika had no choice.

'Marieka should have stopped harder if she was going to stop me anyway.

　Not just the start of the battle here, but the battle itself.

'Impossible. Both of those girls are really very great, aren't they?　If you get serious, there's no way a country wife like me could stop you.

　Maybe so, but...!

Besides, these things come full circle when they clash more forcefully than you might think.
Is that how it works?
'You don't want to be enemies of either of them, either, so you want them to get along.　Then let them do what they want to do first. If you're on the side, there's no need to worry about anything.

　Hasn't Maleeka gained more and more dignity since she became a mother?
　I had nothing to add to the all-seeing manner in which I was speaking.

　And after a bit of time.....

''That was a nice bath!''

　Radey and Zebiantes came back with a hoot of steam.

'Hey Dariel, listen, listen!　This brave man had a mole on his right tit!
Why do you always have to report it?　You have a funny shaped birthmark on your ass too!

　Did you guys take a bath together?

　I also noticed one other important thing.
　Zebiantes.
　Are you going to stay with us?

◆.

　The next morning.

　The two of us were really going to fight.

　After scraping up a grueling breakfast at my house, we faced each other in perfect condition.

'We're going to crush one of the Four Heavenly Kings here!
'We'll bring back the heads of the brave men and show them off to Droyer and the others!

　I just cringed beside him.

'You're going to fight?　Are we really going to fight?
You need to buckle up, Mr. Dariel, I'm a grown man.

　Satome, who was also watching the game from the side, was calm.

'You're not going to fight with us?　It's a brave party?
'Of course, I tried to help the heroes, but it didn't work. This is a duel that has been duly decreed, so they prefer one on one.

　That's a very serious thing for a guy like you, Radey.

So let's see what you have to offer.
Wait. You wait a minute.

　Zebiantes pushes back against Radey, who is itching to break the fire now.

'What?'　Are you getting scared now?
They haven't arrived with the essential costumes for this battle.

　Hmm?
　As we are all shaking our heads at the incomprehensible claims, we hear footsteps from somewhere.
　The sound of running, not busy.

''Oooooh!　Oooooh!
Sakai-kun?

　What are you, the blacksmith, doing here?

　It seems that Sakai-kun has been running as fast as he can until this point, and he got down on one knee as soon as he arrived.

That's good...!　I made it.　It would be a lifetime of misfortune for Blacksmith Sakai to miss out on the opportunity for a trial run...!
?
'It's done, Master Zevi!　I took your vision and made it into shape!　A prototype of a magic tool!

　Sakai-kun was carrying some kind of large linen on his back.
　Did he carry something in it?

　Putting down the lineage, opening the lid, and what came out was...!

This is it!　This is the most flamboyant spell I've ever conceived!　Sakai-kun!　You've done a great job of giving it shape!
Yeah!

　You made it?
　That's exactly what Zebiantes wanted to do when he broke into the village of Luxe and made a mithril grimoire?

Didn't we start talking just yesterday?
That's why we're talking about prototypes.　I made it pretty rough!

　But that's why.
　In a single day and night.

"Because Master Zevi's ideas were so interesting!　I was hooked because it got me creative!　I'm already obsessed with making it!　Wonkyou!

　Ah.
　I get it, this tension.
　I've been working on it all night.
　This guy worked all night long, didn't he?

I'm going to have to compliment you on your motivation, Sakai-kun. Then let's get right to it...

　Zebiantes puts on the magic tool he received.
　While making it clink........
　.........Eh!
　Do you have to take off your clothes to put on the grimoire?

'Dariel-san, you can't look at it!
Aahhhh, gahhhh, gahhhh!　My eyes, my eyes, my eyes!

　Satome's hands covered my eyes, but I thought they were going to be crushed as she blocked them with all her strength.

　And then the Zebiantes, who completed attaching the magic tool and said "You can look now"........

　It had wings.

　Like a bird, wide spread wings extended from his back.

''Eeeeee?!''

　I couldn't believe my eyes as to what magic it was, but I soon realized.
　From the fact that the wings were glowing white and silver, I knew that they were made of mithril.

　Mithril's wings.

　Is that the idea for the latest magic tool that Zeviantes ordered and greatly enflamed Sakai-kun's craftsmanship?
