“Good morning. Your meal is ready, please come, everyone.”
I asked Sakura to wake me up earlier than everyone else, and after Sophie and Sakura had also had their morning drink, then the Lizardman came to pick us up.
“Ellie, wake up. Monica too …… why are you naked!”
“Alex! Huh? He’s not here?”
“Hey, Yudit. It’s time for breakfast, so stop sleep talking, wake up …… Your skirt! Your skirt’s rolled up!”
With the help of Sakura and Sophie, we woke everyone up and went to Mr. Nooti’s house with the Lizardmen.
After a meal of bread and vegetables, a little different from yesterday’s meal…
“We’re coming in. Nooti, the rumors that the human tribe is here …… seem to be true. I can smell the human race.”
Suddenly a large lizardman called Uriyas came in.
Uriyas, who was about two times bigger than me and had scars all over his body, looked like a veteran of many battles, came up to Mr. Nuti with a thud…
“The strongest of the human race is …… You, huh. I’d like you to have a fight with me.”
He pointed his sharp claw at me.
“Hey, Uriyas! Don’t be rude to my guest! And don’t you feel it!? The immense power he holds within?”
“Shut up! That’s why. I am Uriyas of the east lake village, the strongest warrior of the Lizardmen. No matter how powerful my opponent is, I cannot be defeated!”
Now, what should I do with this?
Win or lose, I’d rather be friendly with the Lizardmen village, though.
“Mr. Alex. I’m sorry, but can I ask you to show a little of your strength to this bloodthirsty fellow?”
“Yeah, It’d be fine to take him down completely.”
“Well, if Mr. Nooti says so.”
I have no choice but to get up…
“Master Alex. Let me take care of this ……”
“No, It’s fine. I’ll take care of it.”
I turned down Sakura’s offer to take over in a whisper, and Uriyas and I went out of the house.
There, we were surrounded by a large number of lizardmen, who had either heard the story from somewhere or had been brought there by Uriyas.
As we both moved forward, the crowd naturally formed a circle.
“Well then …… Let’s do this!”
Uriyas makes the first move.
His weapons were claws on both hands and a thick tail.
First, I’ll block the claws on his right hand with my shield …… Eh? He’s stopped moving?
“Guh. My claws …… But, I’m just getting started!”
It looked like he was attacking me with his left claw …… but then his thick tail sweeps me off my feet! …… but the attack is strangely light.
I shook my leg lightly to release the tail that was just twining around my body without being rolled away…
For some reason, Uriyas’s body was thrown upward.
Uh, he went up pretty high.
…… Wait, it would be dangerous if he keep falling like this, isn’t it?
“Ellie, Monica! Use your wind magic to blow Uriyas away so that he falls into the lake!”
“Hey, wait! Ellie! That magic is too powerful!”
“W-Well, because Alex told me to blow him away! I’m not that good with wind magic!”
Ellie creates a tornado, and Uriyas’s body rises higher and higher into the air as he spins wildly.
“Monica! When Uriyas starts falling, use your wind magic to drop him into the lake. Don’t cause a tornado like Ellie did, okay!?”
“It’ll be fine. I can’t cause a tornado, after all.”
I stare nervously at Uriyas from afar as he shrinks …… The tornado that Ellie had created disappeared!
And Uriyas’s body started falling.
“I’ll leave it to you, Monica! …… Mr. Nooti! I’m sorry, but when Uriyas falls into the lake, can you help us?”
“I understand. Seriously, that idiot ……”
As Uriyas’ falling speed increased and he began to look much bigger, Monica released the magic she had prepared…
“Why did you choose that! I want you to blow him away with a shockwave or strong wind magic! Why the wind blade! It’ll cut him in half!”
“But I’m not very good at wind magic either …… Teehee.”
Fortunately, Uriyas’ body was not cut in half, and moved slightly toward the lake.
But it’s still not enough, and in a few seconds, he will hit the ground.
There was no other choice …… It’s all or nothing!
While casting a healing spell on Uriyas.
I tackled Uriyas’s body as hard as I could as he falls …… and his huge body was blown right across the lake to the middle of the lake.
The Lizardmen rushed to the rescue …… Somehow, he seems to be all right.
“Lizardmen are very light, unlike their appearance, huh.”
“Um, isn’t it simply because Master Alex’s physical ability is out-of-the-norm?”
“No, no, no, I don’t think that’s the case, though? Well, I’m confident in my physical strength, but that’s all.”
“…… I think that tail attack he just did was pretty powerful ……”
Sakura is puzzled, but that was just for show, it wasn’t that strong of an attack, you know?
