As long as he's the only one who comes out.
'No, no, no, don't be scared!　That kind of thing can get flagged and really happen!

　It was at that moment when Lilia's voice sounded.

　At the place where the golden living armor had appeared earlier, another magic circle appeared.

''See!　I don't have to tell you!
...no, nothing's showing up?

　As Laina said, it was just a magic circle that came out.
　I walked closer to that magic circle.

''Hm. Can't we use this to get back to earth?

　Even though they had defeated the boss, nothing else had changed in this room.
　There is no door to get out, either.

''Ho, is it really okay...?''
If you don't like it, I'll leave you.
I'm sorry about that!
Oh, me too!

　The three of them rushed over to me in a hurry.

　We all walked into the magic circle at once.
　We were swallowed by the light, and then we found ourselves in a familiar place.

''The first floor of the dungeon?''
...is he back?

　The three of them slumped down, "Thank God!

　Then we left the dungeon and returned to the base for a while.
　For now, I'm taking the young man who led us into the trap with me as an important witness.

　By the way, only the top of his head is still bald.
　From now on, I'll call him "Top Top Baldness".

"Top Top Baldness".
I have a fine name, Deal!

　I yelled at him and then, for some reason, I was in awe of the "yea

I do, sir!
...doctor?
You saved my life, you saved my life!　Please let me call you Sensei!

　The top balding man suddenly lowers his hips and says something like that.

'But I refuse.'
What?
I'm probably younger than you.
Age doesn't matter!　In this city, the best swords are the ones who are strongest!　In that sense, you are the greatest man in the city!　It's just a blessing to be an apprentice to someone like that!　No, the misfortune of earlier is lightly erased!

　That's why I didn't say I'd take him as an apprentice.

''By the way, what grade are you at, Mr. Deal?''
"I'm still a Grade B swordsman!　He's a senior level gladiator, and he's one of the best swordsmen in his guild, the Wars!　I know it's a small guild!
Let's make an apprentice!
Really?
In exchange, you must join Dragonfang!
Of course I'm coming in!

　Hey, wait.

Then go file a notice of withdrawal with your former guild right now!
Yes, sir!

　The top bald man saluted and ran at full speed.

''Lilia, don't proceed on your own.
'We have one more member now!　And if two of them compete in the Kenshin Cup, there's sure to be someone who wants to join!　Oh!　But first, we need to make a big deal out of this boss monster defeat!　

　It's not like Lilina's listening to me.

"Infinite--
'Stoop!　Why are you trying to unleash your special skills as a joke?　And that's from the Sword God!　You'll die!

　When I returned to my home base, I heard some arguing voices.

'What do you mean, my daughter won't come back from the dungeon again?　What the hell did you do?
'No, no, I swear I didn't do anything, okay?　But our group members just happened to be watching. The part where they fall into the transference trap. Yeah, it was just a coincidence, hey. Moreover, it's the worst trap of all, because once they transfer, the last thing they do is come back. In fact, our guild's A-level swordsmen have tried it a few times in the past, but no one has come back. Maybe there's a boss monster waiting for them.

　It was Lilia's father, the old man who was the former head of the guild, and the head of the Black Blade guild, GEO... GEO... GEO... something.

''Screw it!　What if something happened to Lilia - Lilia?

　The old man notices us coming back and rolls his eyes.
　Geo something turned around and looked back at us, and his eyes widened.

''Wha... why are you here...?　I'm pretty sure it was a trap that sent you flying...?

　Perhaps someone had seen the moment we were trapped and reported it to this guy.

'Yes, he did!　Thanks to you, I almost died, but I came back after successfully defeating the boss monster!
Stupid!　Wasn't that golden living armor over there........!
''It was definitely golden and was the living armor of the Sword God, though!
'What, you mean...?　If that's the case, then we shouldn't be able to take it down...
That's what I thought, too!　Oh, and I would have loved for you to see it!　I just saw Arrell-san overwhelm the living armor of the Sword God!
You overpowered the God of Swords?

　Geo something turns its gaze towards me while being shocked.

　Well, however, it was certain that I could use the 《Sword God》 skill, but to be honest, it would be enough to say that that was a degraded version.
　Or rather, not just that one, but the living armor itself.

　They lack the cunning, judgment, or battle instincts that a skilled human swordsman possesses, or something like that.
　That's why it was easy to spot the moment when they unleashed the Infinite Break, a special skill.

And the man who trapped us is safe, and he has made a full confession!　He was paid a lot of money by you to make the order!　The attempted murder of the Blackblade guild leader!　That would be great news!　Perhaps it will be difficult for you to participate in the main competition for the Kenjin Cup!

　Lilia says as she folds over.
　Before she could catch her breath further.

'Yeah, but!　I'd love to see him get defeated unceremoniously in front of a large crowd against Mr. Arrell!　You can't do that if you don't participate!　Oh, yes!　If that's the case, then let's make sure you're in the main race, and we'll make this matter public afterwards!

　She is still a woman of bad character.


　　　◇ ◇ ◇


　Blackblade Guild Headquarters.

"d*mn brats....

　After returning to his own castle, Georg spat that out as he entered his office.
　However, his complexion was beyond pale and he looked like a dead man.

''At this rate.......I........''

　He bites down on his back teeth to the point that he can barely hear them and grunts.
　If I leave them alone, the status and reputation I've built up so far will be lost.

''Well no, that must be some kind of mistake. That's true. There was no way that an ''unemployed'' could defeat the ''Sword God'' living armor. And as long as he won the Sword God Cup again, even if this matter was brought to light, he could somehow rub it out.

　He tried to tell himself that, but his instincts as a swordsman were not convinced.
　He must not fight that boy, or so he pleaded.

　And then the door to the room set up at the back of the office passed through his vision.
　Georg turned his foot to it.

　When he opened the door, he found countless swords lined up in a row.
　It was a collection of swords collected from all over the world.
　There were demonic and demon swords among them.

If we're going to lose our fame anyway, we can at least be the top swordsman.......

　Georg muttered to himself.
　What caught my eye then was a box with a coffin-like exterior.

　When I opened the lid of the box, as if drawn by something, I found a sword inside.

"Use me.

　It was as if the sword was speaking to him, and Georg took it in his hand.
