96-95 Brave Lady



 I'm a busy village chief, but I also have a lot of work to do.

 It is to train the brave Radey, who is staying in Lax village.
 I'm going to be swinging a sword, and I'm going to use the same one.

"At last!

 He takes the momentum and guides her out of her stance at the same time, then fights back.
 But his opponent is no slouch either, and he jumps and dodges before he's completely out of stance.

'Good, your reaction is faster than before.

 I praise them honestly.

''No. You're so good at dodging and escaping that you can't even take a swing at Dariel-san...!

 My opponent..., said Radhi, sweat dripping from her sword.

 Now, I'm training with her.
 In earnest.

You may think it's dangerous, but even if you were to use a wooden sword, the aura it creates is enough to kill someone.
 If that's the case, you'll be more desperate if you use a real-world weapon from the start, with a maximum of tension. It was a decision that there would be that much to gain.

"...when I look at you adventurers, I think...

 He says while pointing the cutting edge at Radey.
 What you have is an ordinary iron sword. Even though they claim to be in a real battle format, as expected, they don't use a Hermes sword.

It's just that none of them can use their bodies very well.
'My body...? Can't use it...?

 I don't think Radey knows what I mean, he just says what I say.

"Your arms and legs and shoulders and belly and chest and back, the muscles that make up the human body, they're only used by 20 to 30 percent of you. You are able to use at most 20 to 30 percent of the muscles that make up the human body, and the rest are not used at all. The rest of them don't work at all.
''Oh no...?''

 I guess he wasn't aware of it at all. Radie was taken aback by my point.
 It was an honest reaction.

'Are you saying you don't know how to use half of it? Your own body? How absurd...?
''It's probably a bad effect of my aura ability. When you're blessed with superpowers from the start, you can't even use your own body.

 Basic training will also focus more on strengthening aura abilities than on training the body.

 I've been a soldier in the demon king's army for the last half of my life, not the human race, and I've been running around the battlefield as an outcast who couldn't open up his aura ability and couldn't use magic.
 That is why you can only rely on your five bodies.

 That's why every nerve in my body passes through it, and if my aura ability is activated at the end of it.......

''.........there will be an enormous difference.''

 Leaping.
 I used not only the muscles of my legs, but also my back, shoulders, and abdominal muscles, so I didn't have any preliminary movements, which was enough to catch Radey by surprise.
 On top of that, the acceleration is excessive because of the strengthened aura on top of that.

 I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.
 I'm sure my courageousness as a brave man would have made them bite off more than they could handle.

 I stomp my foot just before Radie and apply the emergency brake.
 Stop.

''Huh?''

 I change direction before my opponent can recognize me.
 I turn around in a circle around my target, Radey, and in an instant I'm standing behind him.

'You're losing.

 If a blade is thrust against his back, there is indeed no more way to strike.
 Although I could only see the back of his head, it was as if I could see Radie's frustrated expression.

''........Is this also a difference made by the ability to use your own body or not?''
Yes.

 Even though it was practice, it was quite frustrating to lose, and Radey's voice was stinging.

''Aura is only something that strengthens your power in the end. So if you don't have a great weapon to strengthen or your body is not strong enough, it will only be a messy move.

 That's the decisive difference between me and her, and it shows up in the actual battle.
 While she is aware of one movement, I imagine I can do five or six.

'Don't rely too much on your aura, you need to be more aware of every part of your body. Only when your chi and body are in unison can an adventurer become the deadliest of fighters.

 As far as I know, the only adventurer who was able to do that from the beginning is Arantzill-san.
 Just like the aura, it's only because he's fully mastered himself that he's able to use a strange technique like the 'Ghost Walking' technique.

''Especially in your case........''

 Boom!
 And a creepy sound.

"Yikes!
Use this ass more than you can. If you can exercise those muscles in your ass that are now just for decoration, you'll be able to run as fast as I can.

 The size of Radey's buttocks must have some serious potential.
 Of course there are other parts of the body that should be consciously moved.......

 But Radie, while holding her spanked buttocks, her face turned red........

''Dariel-san should learn how to handle a girl!
''Heh?''
'A girl's bottom is important, you can't hit her! Okay! You'll learn your lesson!
I'm sorry...?

 Did you make me study for a while?

 This is the kind of thing I do in between work and practice.

 Honestly, I'd rather not.

 I'm so busy with my job as village chief that my spare time is consumed by practicing with Radhi.

 There are other things I would rather be doing with my time.

 I'd love to play with my newborn son, Gran, and work hard to make a second baby with Marika!

 Sometimes I wonder why I'm spending my precious time on a stranger, Radie.
 Well, Arantzill-san reminded me to 'train Radie well' when I was leaving.
 I can't refuse that man's request, but........

''........Hey, Radie-chan?''

 I ask her fearfully.
 Radie was just stroking her buttocks, "What do I do with my ass muscles? She is now rubbing her own buttocks, "How do I use my butt muscles?

I said, "So much for training, how about we leave now? A brave man's job is to defeat the Demon King...?
''That's why I have to become strong!

 Only the forcefulness of the rebuttal is brave.

''I realized my inexperience when I came to Lax Village! I'm ashamed of myself for being so buoyant at one time, being told that I was closing in on Arantzill-sama! A frog in a well!
What...!
'I saw how strong you are, Dariel, and I realized that I was missing something! And even that Dariel-san says, 'You'll never beat the Demon King.'

 ...I said that, didn't I?
 Now that I think about it, it was superfluous.

''That's why I have to be strong! A brave man whose mission is to defeat the Demon King, to the extent that he is defeated by the Demon King with a single blow, is not a story! That's why I have to get stronger here!

 I didn't realize that I had wasted a lot of time firing him up because of the one word I said.
 I guess I was still being careless with my words too. I must be careful.

''That said, first of all, I want to become as strong as Dariel-san in this Lax Village. Please continue to guide me!
Does that mean you're going to live in this village permanently?
"Is it really that absurd?

 I don't say it's impossible, but....

 If you're going to go that far, you need to tighten up your leadership style, don't you think?
 It's like growing up or dying.
 Otherwise, at the current pace, our Grandpa will be standing up and walking and talking for sure.

Then we should do whatever we can to teach him how to use his buttocks properly by the end of the day.
Why are you so important, butt?

 It's a big deal?
 Now, I was just about to decide to work Radie's ass in earnest........

''Well that's a problem.

 I heard someone's voice.
 Who is it?

 What's the problem? Did you know that Radey's ass gets a good workout?

If you don't go and take down the Demon King as soon as possible, there will be no point in us being chosen as the new heroes. To us, the newly-chosen heroes.
Yeah? You guys.........?

 Radie's expression changed at the figure that suddenly appeared.
 It was clearly a reaction that she knew who the other party was.

 There were three figures.

 Each of the figures come forward to identify themselves.

''Pigalo, the 'Sword' hero.
"Zester, the Hammer.
"Altamir the Archer.

 Huh? What?
 Why are there three brave men?

We three were newly selected for the Center Guild. We are the three newly selected members of the Central Guild, and we have been chosen to be the heroes to defeat the Demon King. Radey, if you don't have the will to complete your mission as a hero, you can rot in this countryside.
"The Demon King will be defeated by one of us
'.........I'm going to get the title of a true hero!

 What the hell is that...?

 A shadow of disquiet has crept back into the village of Lax, which had been peaceful for a while.
