Volume 12, Chapter 1: Trying Out Practicing - Part 1

This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu

The Kobold burrow──

It was a hole in the ground where one could not tell if it was day or night, but there was most likely still a couple of hours until dawn.

Rem was in a deep sleep.

In place of her clothes, she was clad in Kikou (Radiance Light) that was materialized.

However, that had crumbled down at the same time that she lost consciousness, and she was now naked. Since she looked cold, they placed a blanket on her.

Her breathing was calm, and even her temperature was normal. She was most likely exhausted and just sleeping. She seemed like she would open her eyes before long.

Diablo was sitting beside Rem.

「We should probably return to the royal capital at least once. It’s dangerous to leave Horun and Sylvie there.」

Shera was next to him.

She also bore some serious wounds in the battle against the strong enemy, but she recovered with the potion he gave her, and was now behaving energetically.

「We’re returned to Faltra City, with Horun-chan and Sylvie-san?」

「Yeah, and after that──」

Take Krum’s group and go to the Greenwood Kingdom?

However, there was a serious problem.

The Greenwood Kingdom didn’t have biscuits.

「──Well, let’s think about the later stuff later. First is the royal capital. It will be a hard time just getting in there.」

「How about asking Lumachina-san for help?」

「Fumu, that’s true.」

「There’s also Alicia-san.」

「She’s……no, at this point, I guess we should use everything that we can use.」

「Hey.」

Shera suddenly brought her face close to his.

He had grown quite used to seeing it, but even now, he would blush from her all to beautiful appearance when he saw it up close. This sort of thing, was surely something he wouldn’t get used to for the rest of his life.

「Wh, what is it, Shera?」

「You see……Diablo……I, saw it.」

「Ha?」

Shera’s face reddened.

「At night, in the garden……what you did…………with Sorami-san.」

Her thin hand, made a ring, and she placed it in front of her light colored lips.

A few days ago, Diablo’s group stayed at Rem’s home──in the Gado Clan’s estate.

The present head of the clan was Rem’s father’s younger brother (her uncle), but he was absent due to being in the middle of a campaign. His younger sister Sorami (her aunt) took control as the Assistant Instructor.

She had quite the uninhibited personality, and Diablo had ended up doing this and that with her at night in the garden which had turned into something incredible but……

──To think that Shera saw that!?

*Buwah* An unpleasant sweat burst out, and went down along his spine.

His Demon King role play peeled off.

「Ahー……Uhー……」

Shera tilted her head.

「Diablo, you occasionally end up like that, don’t you. Going “ahー” and “uhー”.」

It’s because I’m bad at communication!

His original self in his original world was a shut-in Gamer. Something like talking with a young girl with a divine appearance, it was outrageous.

Even when he was asked “Would you like that heated up?” at the convenience store, silently nodding was the best he could do. He was the type that would accept the change without saying anything even if it was wrong, then get depressed about it after getting back home.

However, it was only when he was doing his Demon King act that he did in the game would Diablo be able to talk magnificently.

As for why, it was because this was a Demon King.

A Demon King wouldn’t panic over something like his nightly actions being seen!

*Kachi* The acting switch inside of Diablo was turned on.

「Are you interested in it as well? In Kikou (Radiance Light).」

「Kikoー?」

「It is called SP by Adventurers. In the Gado Clan that is Rem’s home, it seems to be called Kikou. But, its range of application is different.」

「Could it be, is that also how Rem suddenly became strong!?」

「That, might have yet another reason but……She did use Kikou.」

Neither Diablo nor Shera knew the reason why Rem had suddenly turned into a pseudo-Demon King. She hadn’t told them that she received the 《Demon King’s Fang》 from Krum.

「Hehー, so that was Kikouー」

Going “fumu fumu”, Shera nodded with an understanding face.

「If it’s a Warrior-type Adventurer, they would naturally use Martial Arts through SP, but since Fist Fighters don’t use weapons, it becomes all the more important for them.」

That was knowledge from the MMORPG Cross Reverie, but it didn’t seem all that different even in this other world.

「I also learned a bit of that.」

「It’s because Martial Arts are important for 《Archers》 as well.」

「I’m a Summoner though!」

Shera was Elven royalty, and she possessed natural talent as an Archer.

However, when she decided that she wanted to become an Adventurer, for the reason of feeling lonely when she was alone in the forest at night, she aimed to be a Summoner……

Even now when she had obtained companions, she continued to aim for it.

Since she didn’t do much practice as a Magician, she had most likely stopped at level 30 though.

She had her usual bow equipped after all.

In the MMORPG Cross Reverie, Classes were fixed.

There was individuality in how the bonus point would be allotted, but it was made so that it wasn’t possible to raise multiple levels.

It was a system where if you wanted to play a different Class, you would have to create another character (which you were required to pay for).

This other world was different.

While being a Chemical Element Magician, Diablo tried growing his Warrior-type level as well.

There was a matter that he noticed at that time.

The leveling up rules to multiple Classes, they might be similar to systems of games that were different from the MMORPG Cross Reverie.

A different title that was managed by the same company──The method from the social game for smartphone use, 《Girls Arms》.

──The Class that would get the experience points would be decided depending on what was equipped as the main weapon.

For example, if a sword was equipped, the close-distance type would grow.

If a gun was equipped, the long-distance type would grow. It was that sort of method.

He had no definitive proof, but he was able to comprehend after making that sort of conjecture.

In other words, if one wanted to level up as a Summoner, they would need to fight with Summoned Beasts.

The theory behind it was unclear.

Was it because one’s consciousness would change by holding the weapon, and that was connected to increasing that level?

Incidentally, the Magic Staff that Diablo had equipped, the 《Tonnerre Empereur》 took the form of a sword, but was classified as a Magician’s staff.

──That weapon, it was smashed up by Sorami, wasn’t it. Even though it’s an EX-class equipment that can be used even in Demon King battles, what a waste.

Since Diablo was also an item collector, he possessed countless weapons. But even so, there was a limit on the weapons that he had strengthened up to their utmost limits.

Within his pouch, he possessed the 《Seraphic Sword》 that he used for the sake of raising his Warrior-type level, but it was unsatisfactory for fighting against formidable enemies.

The effect of the 《Seraphic Sword》 was only to raise the amount of experience points obtained.

It seemed like there was a need to return to his base eventually and procure another weapon.
