487-I was happy and fresh






 Next to Fia-sensei, it would be a lap with Noin-san in the back. Since it was a continuous run for Belle, I was worried that she might get tired.......but she didn't seem to have any problems at all.
 Well, Belle's recent walks have been around the outer perimeter of the Symphonia royal capital, and in terms of distance, it would still be fine.

 This time, Fea-sensei said that she's going to take care of Linn, so even though Belle is there, it feels like it's just the two of us again.
 It's not like they pulled it out unnoticed like they did when they left it with Noin-san, so I was expecting Linn to fuss over it, but.......other than that, Linn settled into Miss Fea's arms with ease.

 I'm not sure, but Dr. Fea, who had many demons under her command, seems to understand the language of demons to some extent, so maybe that's why she misses them.
 Fea-sensei was also Fea-sensei, and she seemed to enjoy talking to Rin, who was not afraid of her.

 So now Noin-san and I are riding on the back of Belle, and even here, too, the difference in personalities is evident.
 Unlike Mr. Fier, who has been sticking close to me, Noyn is sitting with a little space between us and keeping his balance by putting one hand on my shoulder. It's like a modest Mr. Noin-san.

''Speaking of which, Noin-san. Continuing on from what we were talking about earlier........Zwei-san, are you still a very strong person?
Yes, second only to the Sixth King and Master Ain.

 Thanks to Fea-sensei casting a spell on me before I got on the bell, I could hear Noin-san's voice well even in the strong wind.

''Of all the powers Zwei-sama possesses, the most powerful is probably 'Force Field Manipulation'.
Force field operations?
Yes, Master Zwei can manipulate attraction, repulsion, and gravity at will, and anyone who lacks it will not be able to get close enough to him.
I see, I could tell you were really strong just by hearing about it.

 It's a cheat ability that tickles my heart. I'd like to use that ability myself........well, I guess I won't be able to master it, but.......
 But, yeah. I'm starting to understand the dynamics of Black's family pretty well.
 Now that the Six Kings are independent, I guess Zwei is the third most important person in the family.

By the way the next strongest person after Zwei-sama is Fea.
Is that so?
''Yes, Fear is one of the highest-ranking Count classes. The reason I was able to beat Fear in the past was because Fear was in the worst condition and also had a confidant. If you're in perfect condition, one-on-one, you're toothless.
''Hmmm.......so it's like Noin-san is the next strongest person after Fea-sensei?''

 In the past, when they fought in the form of a hero and a demon king, Noyn-san won, but in terms of pure combat power, it seems that Fea-sensei is better than him.
 However, even Noyn-san should be quite strong.... even Lilia-san, who borrowed Kronor-san's power, was no match for him. I don't know much about fighting, but I still know that Noyn-san is one of the most powerful people in the world.
 So when I asked if the next strongest person after Fea-sensei was Noin-san, what I got back was an unbelievable answer.

''........No, the next strongest person after Fea is 'Ra's-sama'
'What? Ra's!
Yes, I know it's surprising, but it's true. Master Raz is a very strong man.

 Here's what I didn't expect, Raz-san......I honestly don't have any idea that she is that strong.
 The same is true of her young personality, but is it because her body is so small? For the life of me, I can't imagine Raz-san being stronger than Noin-san.
 I wonder if my reaction was as expected, but Noin-san continues to speak with a light chuckle.

'Raz-sama can 'interfere with limited causal laws'.
Huh? Uh, um....
To put it simply, Raz-sama's arrows are essentially 'must-hit' arrows. Wherever it is aimed, it always hits the target that Raz-sama is aiming at. Well, exceptions are made for those who can interfere with the law of cause and effect like Fate-sama and Sixth King-sama........
An arrow that is sure to hit.
'Yes. However, there are ways to deal with it. The only part that Raz-sama can determine is 'must hit the target', but he can't determine the 'where it hits' of the target. It seems that the armor worn by the wearer is also treated as part of the target, so you can prevent it by intentionally hitting the sword or shield.

 I could understand that Raz-san is amazing from what I've heard, but that still doesn't stop me from wondering if he's really stronger than Noin-san.
 Noin-san seems to have a plan for dealing with Raz-san's abilities, so if we fight, we can win, right?

''........Raz-sama's true strength is not the inevitable arrow. It's its 'range'.
...Range?
Yes, let's put it simply. The range of Raz-sama's bow and arrow is so wide that it could be called 'the entire Demon World'.
Huh?
For example, if Raz-sama really wanted to kill me in the battle the other day, all he had to do was keep firing his arrows at me from the Hydra Kingdom across the ocean and that was it. Raz-sama's arrows don't slow down at all, and I heard that the magic power consumption is low enough to keep firing continuously for days. I will eventually become an arrowman.

 Nah, I see........I've seen enough of Raz-san's true strength. It's a foul grade of strength to be able to keep firing a deadly arrow endlessly from such a long range.

The actuality of this is that it's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to find a way to get a job. In the first place, he doesn't like the act of fighting. So please don't be afraid of him.
''........It's okay. I thought Raz-san was great, but I'm not afraid of him.....because Noin-san is right, Raz-san is a kind person.
Yes.

 Dear Dad and Mom - how I learned a lot of new information today. I was surprised, but it was somehow - fresh and happy - to learn about the great part of Raz-san's... friend, a side of him that I hadn't known before.
