Strategy!

!!!

　As soon as I returned to the living room with Raz and Miroku, I gave a high-pitched command.

　Eco's eyes snapped open and she stared at me with her ears pinned up. She doesn't scream as usual because she is munching on a mouthful of lunch.


'What a bush to a stick. I mean, who is that guy?

　Sylvia asks with a dubious expression.

'Miroku-sama. Miroku-sama, master of the Miroku school, Touhachi no Kuni, the supreme samurai ...... or should I say that?

　Instead of me, Akaneko replied, chattering for some reason. It seems she still has a sense of awe.

　But that's not an answer.


I've told you, you're a demon. It's now Senpai's taming.

What do you mean by that?

　After hearing Raz's explanation, Akaneko let out a cry of surprise.

　''I see. Come to think of it, I didn't explain to you that Miroku is a demon. That's surprising.


''Demons, huh?''

　Next to her, Yukari raises the alert level a notch. Oh, I see.


'Don't worry, I'm not as bloodthirsty (・・・・) as Anko.

It wasn't a bloody good problem to clean up: ......

　Sylvia sighed with a dumbfounded face. Well, it's true that this is what happens when you almost get killed on the first meeting.


You should get used to it while you can, Akaneko. While I'm busy, Miroku is going to train you in the art of sword fighting.
What?

　I'm sure you're going to be pleased with that.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. You don't like it?

"It's not that I don't like it, ...... but I can't imagine a single victory in sight.

...... Heh.


　I'm surprised. This guy was trying to win.

　That's good. I was right.

　There's one thing I don't like about this guy, though.


"Was it supposed to be me?

　Miroku doesn't have a chance to win, but I have a chance to win. That's what Akaneko's phrasing sounded like.


''Honestly, I think it's still possible for you to--''


...the red cat.

　My prediction was correct. Then I was about to complain, and I was about to do so, when someone interrupted me.

　It's Sylvia. She spoke to Akaneko with an unusually serious look on her face.


'Don't get your hopes up at all. Don't think that you can reach it. There are so many things you don't know. First of all, you need to know. Otherwise, you'll suffer more than you should.


　It was very convincing. Akaneko didn't say anything back and fell silent.

　It was a very serious scene, but I couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you laughing?
No, I just thought Sylvia had grown up.
...... idiot.

　Sylvia suddenly blushed and hid her expression with her bowl, pretending to drink the miso soup.


''Nee. Neeee. Where's Sakusen?

　Oops. Eco-sama is upset that I went too far off to the side. It's time to get down to business.


　I cleared my throat and opened my mouth.



"Operation number one, hold a physical training camp!

'Bodywork, camp?　What does it look like?

　A plausible question for Yukari. However, the content is just as the words say.


''Everyone who wants to learn body skill is going to camp with me. I'll make you learn everything from Infantry to Dragon King.

!


　I could see that we were all surprised.

　No, is it really that surprising?


By the way, Sylvia and Akaneco are mandatory participants.

Hmm.
Why do I have to learn to do this?

　Sylvia nodded naturally and Akaneko looked puzzled. By the way, I'm going to ask Renko to join us.

''The STR, DEX and AGI that can be stretched by raising your body art skills are all suitable for battling the sword. Hence, they are efficient. There's no harm in raising them.
Well, you're on your left.

　They don't try to develop any skills other than those they specialize in. It's a bad habit of the people in this world.

　The more powerful you are, the harder it is to gain experience with weaker monsters, so it may be inevitable when you think about the fact that it's the end of the world when you die.


The second strategy is to recruit people who want to learn spearmanship, staff skills and string manipulation!
...... No way, Master.

　Yukari seemed to notice.

'Yeah. Servant or anyone else. Anyway, if you want to learn it, I'll make you learn it, just like the body arts, come with me.
Are there any special conditions?
''Right. At the very least, I'd like to have enough status to be able to deal with demons in Grade B dungeons.
Well, I'm afraid it's just the top of the pecking order, then.
'All right, that's fine. Keep your voice on the Yukari's end.
I'm sorry, sir.

　A few servants at the top of the pecking order are going to be gathered there. Good or bad.


"Strategy Three, learn to use the axe, Eco!
Wow!
Let's get that STR up!　You did it!
Yoohoo!

　I like that. Yippee!

　Alright, now let's follow this up with the announcement of the "Yoohoo" strategy.


"Strategy #4: Training in Hell!
............

　Oh?　It's getting quiet all of a sudden.

Sylvia, Eco. We'll look forward to it.

I knew it, d*mn it!
Uh-huh.

　At the mention of her name, Sylvia held her head in her hands while Eco replied with a blue face. Poor thing. But if the two of them really wanted to catch the Kishenshou and Kongo, they couldn't say so.

　Well, maybe it was a bit of a funny way to declare it a hell. To be precise, it's a living hell.


''Operation #5, repair and equip swords!
It's me. But repairs?
Yes. I can only ask Yukari to do this. But it's going to be pretty difficult.
...... Yes, sir. It's called a beeping arm.

　That's promising.


So, on to the summer title game.
Wait a minute!　What about us?　Do you have anything?
Not really. Do what you want to do.
Doh, that's dry. ......

　No, no, no, I hope you'll call it a sign of trust.

　You'll get stronger on your own if you're left to your own devices. As soon as you finish developing a cure for your Calameria addiction, I'm sure you'll be in the title fight.

　Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I wonder how long it will be before I get there. I can't wait to see you again when you were wielding your sword in the Battle of Issenza, I can't wait to see you again.


The meeting is over. Yukari, go talk to the servants and recruit participants for the physical training camp.
Very well, master.





　...... and this is the face we've assembled.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Second.
Please, my dear Second.
Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, master.

　Cubero the butler, Lily the enteigashira, and Elle the maid. In addition, Sylvia, Akaneko, and Renko.

　It's really thick.

Nice to meet you.

　I responded, and the three of them said, "Yes! A vigorous voice replied.


　Everyone lined up in front of me, with the exception of a few two people, was full of enthusiasm. Those two were Akaneko and Renko. Akaneko is still unaware of the fact that "I'm not a battoujutsu (......)," and Renko has a look on her face as if to say, "Why would I do that now?

　Leaving Akaneko aside, Renko wondered if this, if she was brought here without knowing what she was going to do now?
　Most of the time, even if I called him normally, he was too busy with his righteous R6 activities to come over, so he probably tricked me into inviting him by using the name of this guy's favorite razz and saying "Raspberry Belle-sama is calling for you". This bad mood of Renko's, it must be so.


''Let's go then!''

　Summon the anko, and have them transfer and summon them one after another.

　The destination is the grade C dungeon, Treo - a place famous for being the shortest dungeon in Mevion.

　The reason why he chose this place was simple. It's because demons that match the requirements for learning the [Body Technique] skill well will appear.


　You'll be able to hunt them and fulfill the requirements for learning them. A true training camp.

　They all have to learn everything from infantry to the Dragon King during this training camp. All they had to do was gain experience and advance to the ninth dan, and they would be qualified for the Tōshin'i fight.

　I can't wait to see it.

　Now, let's just learn it in a flash.
