A Warrior Exiled by the Hero and His Lover

you are good enough? ”

”It depends on several factors: The size of the soldier, the weapons he carries, his appearance and the skills he uses. ”

”The soldier of a wolf tribe has fangs and claws? ”

”Yes.
What a surprise, old man, even though you ’re a human, you ’re smart. ”

This kid is really underestimating me.

The boy ’s soldier had wolf ears and a tail.

”Surely your magic power is too weak for the magic circle to even manage to make one for you, old man. ”

The children began to laugh.

Kaede became very angry.

Beastkin have high physical abilities from an early age.

They have absolute confidence that they will never be defeated by a human.

In fact, even on the island where humans rule, I have seen many beastkin with high confidence in their skills quite often.
　 No wonder that belief is reinforced here, where only the wolf tribe lives.

Bibi Bibi

The phantom battle circle trembles minutely, and particles of light begin to gather.

The boy ’s phantom form shrinks and shrinks until it is too small to be seen as my phantom enters the field.

”What…? ”

”It looks like it took a while because it was so big. ”

My ghost grabs his greatsword and swings it forward in preparation for battle.

He then checks his surroundings, looking for enemies.

”It ’s impossible. ”

”Finish it. ”

The phantom lifts his foot, and stomps on the boy ’s phantom.

The battle was over.

The boy stood and clenched his eyes so tightly it looked like he would burst into tears at any moment.

”Wuaaaaaaaaah!!! I ’m going to remember this! ”

The boy ran away crying.

Huh, I can ’t believe I took a game with a kid seriously.

I guess I ’m just not ready yet.

After a brief pause, the children shouted for joy.

”Old man, you ’re amazing, even Itsuki-sama can ’t make something that big!”

”It ’s huge, how big is this thing? ”

”Wow, wow, wow, I ’ve never seen anything like this! ”

Even though it ’s an obvious result, I ’m still embarrassed by the praise.

Well, I didn ’t expect there to be such a difference in size either.

It ’s like a battle between a man and a mountain. ”

”There you are. ”

”You ’re Obi, right? ”

A masked man arrives in the square.

He really is stealthy.
Even I can ’t detect him.

He must have a job as a thief or an assassin at a high level.

And he is quite strong.
His body language is somewhat intimidating.

I stood up.

”I have a message from Itsuki-Sama.
He wants you to do something for him. ”

”Me? ”

Obi speaks to Kaede.

”We need Kaede-Sama ’s power, so I ’d like you to listen to what we have to say. ”

”If that ’s the case…
Can my master be present as well? ”

”Sure.
Please follow me. ”

We followed Obi to Itsuki ’s house.

Kaede and I took seats next to each other.

And in front of us were Obi and Itsuki.

”We want you to slay a basilisk. ”

”A basilisk? ”

”Yes, it has been living in the fenced off ruins of our village for a few months, and it has killed many of our people, and even when though we tried to get rid of it, the results have been nil. ”

Kaede asks

”What is a basilisk? ”

”It ’s a monster that petrifies everything it sees.
It ’s a very nasty creature that has a wide range of petrification, it moves quickly and the scales that cover its body are quite tough. ”

I wonder if it ’s a monster that only exists here.

I ’ve never heard of it before.

A monster that can petrify you with a single gaze.
It certainly is very dangerous.

”We of the wolf tribe are not good at magic, but hand-to-hand combat is also tough against such an opponent.
We will pay you handsomely for your help. ”

”What do you think, Master? ”

”We will.
The people of this village are in trouble, I don ’t think it ’s the best thing to stand idly by.
Besides, if we kill it, chief Itsuki might give us a delicious meal. ”

”Of course, we ’ll prepare a huge feast. ”

Perfect.
Even if that monster has the ability to petrify, Kaede ’s magic would probably kill it instantly.

Besides, if we kill the basilisk, we ’ll be able to visit the ruins.

”By the way, Kaede-Sama, are you sure you want him to accompany you? ”

”What do you mean by that? ”

”It ’s not that I doubt his abilities as your Master…
But, I ’m afraid it will be somewhat difficult for a human. ”

”Don ’t worry about that.
The Master is the Master. ”

Uh, Kaede, that ’s not really an explanation.

I ’m sure you were trying to be considerate, but Itsuki is confused.

Obi whispered in Itsuki ’s ear.

”Hmm, this is no ordinary human.
I ’ve been observing him with the evaluation goggles, and his race doesn ’t seem to match his appearance. ”

”Also, he occasionally emits a tremendous concentration of magical power.
He looks like a swordsman, but he might also be a skilled magic user. ”

”Since Kaede-Sama recognizes him as her master, it is impossible for him to be an ordinary human.
I beg your pardon, Toru-Dono.
It would be an honor to have you accompany us. ”

Itsuki had a big smile on his face.

Am I giving off magic power?

I have to be more careful with that.
