Guru-ruh?

　The giant bear let out such a sound, as if he was surprised that his arm was received.
　And its consciousness seems to have turned from the kitchen to me.

''Gururuaaaah!

　Maybe it was too hard to stomach the fact that he couldn't get rid of someone much smaller than himself.
　The giant bear let out an exasperated yelp and put more force into his arms.
　Even though it was covered in fur, the swollen muscles were clearly visible.

''If it's a contest of strength, I can't lose either!''

　I counteracted and worked on my arms.
　My muscles expand, and my arms grow two sizes thicker.

''Guru........''
Hmm, it's pretty close.

　Power and strength clashed, and although their arms trembled in small increments with each other, their arm positions remained perfectly still without pushing the other from either side.

''Oh, you're having an arm strength match with an arm grizzly!
And it's evenly matched...?

　The trainer, a young man, and Aasia are looking at each other in disbelief.

'Are you serious now?'
What?
I'm not quite ready for this stuff yet.

　I stood up.
　As expected, it's hard to exert myself while sitting down.

'Fifty percent of your full strength for now,'
''~~~~?

　The giant bear's upper body tilted.
　I tried to adjust my position in a hurry, but in the meantime, I was pushed so hard that I couldn't bear it with my legs alone, I hurriedly put my opposite hand on the floor to support my body.
　That would make them antagonistic again.

'Then let's get it up to sixty percent.
Huh?

　Slip and slide, and the giant body slides on the ground.
　Apparently, this kind of force is enough for you.

　I continued to push the giant bear and let it out of the store.

"Stay where you are.
Ugh....

　Realizing that it was no match for him, the giant bear cleared his throat pitifully and dropped a paragraph.

''You pushed an arm grizzly out with one arm!　Nah, what the hell are you doing?
You're a trainer. You should have a better handle on your demons.

　I advise the young man as he runs out of the store.
　He looks like he wants to argue with me for a moment, but as expected, he understands his mistake.

Hey, that's enough for today...

　He took the other demons with him and left in a huff.

　When I returned to the restaurant, I sat down again at the seat I had just taken.

''Hmm, is the food ready yet?''

　When I looked towards the kitchen, I saw the couple who should have been cooking, standing there looking at me, stunned.
　At that moment, the smell of burning could be heard wafting through the air.
　They came to their senses with a huff.

"Oh, dad, it's burning, it's burning!
Wow!

　Then it took about ten more minutes for the food to come out.





'Thanks for the meal,'
Oh, I don't need the money.

　When I finally finished eating and was about to pay for it, he said to me like that.

'I've caused you trouble.'
Really?

　I just paid off the fire that had fallen on me.

'And it really helped. The store would have been in a lot of trouble if it hadn't been for that...'

　The demons right after being made into a submissive demon still often don't do what they say, and they need to be handled carefully, and they usually don't let them into the shop.
　 He exclaimed in frustration.

'But then again, weren't you the trainer...?
He's a trainer. But I'm also a swordsman and a sorcerer.
...Yes?
'Hey, Ayrshire!　Order, please!
'Oh, yes!　I'm going now!

　The restaurant had become quite crowded before long.
　Arthia interrupted the conversation when a customer called her over.

'I'll let you hear the details next time you come in!　So make sure you come back for more!

　After announcing this in a hurry, she hurried to take her order.

　Leaving the shop.
　The sky was already beginning to turn reddish-brown, and the city was coming to life, as if the guys who were out on the plains had returned.

'I guess we'll have to start trying the plains tomorrow.

　In the meantime, I'll stay at an inn somewhere for today.





　The next morning, I had stepped into the Great Plains.

　There was really nothing to see, except for weeds and shrubs growing in places and a shadow that seemed to be a demon moving about.
　The only thing left to see in the distance would be the reddish-brown rock that marked the center of the plains.

'Hey, hey, brother. You don't mean to challenge this plain all by yourself?　That's reckless.

　Suddenly, I hear such a voice from behind me.
　When I turn around, I see a group of four people dressed in quite fine equipment.

''Who are you guys?''
"We're the front line of an A-list party.

　It seems to be a party of adventurers.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of good reasons to go for it.

And I'm the leader, Blake.
Okay.
What? Wait, wait, wait, wait.

　I had nothing in particular to do, so I tried to quickly move on, but he hurriedly called out to me.

I'm sure you'll find that even the outermost part of this great plain is riddled with dangerous grade B or higher demons. It is suicidal to attempt to go there alone. I'm not going to say anything bad about it, so you'd better think again. We've seen a lot of young guys like you die. It's a good idea to have a good old fashioned advice.
Hmm, I'm not sure I want to.
Well, okay. Well, if you insist, go ahead.

　They looked at each other and cowered their shoulders as if to say, "Oh dear.

　I'll do that without being told.
　I moved on.
