606 606. The Princess'S First Time
.606
Satnium (temporary), two floors above ground.
In that elevator hall, I was with Margaret.
'Who are those people?'
There you are. Rato, Socha, Play, Builder.
You wanted to see me, Your Highness?
Margaret called out, and as usual, the four ninja knights appeared casually and knelt in front of her.
They appeared so fast that even I couldn't tell how fast they were showing up.
No, I don't even know if they were fast or not.
Really, "Poof! Because he appeared like a momentary blur.
'There he is, Lord Lyota.
Yeah, thanks. Sorry, I don't have anything else to do.
That's enough.
"As you wish.
The four of them disappeared in a flash, just like when they appeared.
I was just a little curious to see what would happen if I fought that one seriously.
''Even so, I'm ...... glad you're here.
Yeah, happy?
'Yes. I can't believe they're letting me back into the place that matters to Lord Lyota.
No, that's my line. Thank you for your help.
'No way!The reason I am here today is because of Lyota-sama. I'll do anything for you, Ryota-sama.
Thank you.
If Sakura was here, she would be like, "Hmm?I'm sure he's about to make a "whatever now" or something like that, but today it's just me and Margaret (and those four guys).
I decided to proceed with the conversation.
'Today, I want you to try and defeat the monster. It's kind of a test, so to speak, so don't get too worked up about it.
I'll do my best!
Margaret did so, and she was enthusiastic with her great sword.
'Well then, ...... please.'
I said and summoned the monster.
It's a young new employee in a tight suit.
His suit is crisp and his hair is neat.
Most importantly, his eyes sparkle.
'I didn't last six months, though.
Yes?What did you say?
No, it's nothing.
I faked a bitter smile as the bitter memories came out of my mouth and turned to Margaret.
'Try fighting this guy anyway?You don't have to worry about winning or losing.
I understand.
Margaret goes at the new recruit, dragging her large sword with her usual heavy hand.
She makes an unaccustomed first strike - and is able to avoid it and get countered.
''Hiyah!...... Oh, what?
Margaret looked at herself curiously as she was blown up by the new recruit's attack.
'It doesn't hurt anywhere, does it?
'Yeah, that's a magic attack, so it looks like he's hitting you, but the attribute is magic.
"Oh, speaking of which, a strong magical storm is brewing today.
Yes.
I nodded deeply.
Yes, today's weather is a magic storm.
And it's strong, and it's at a level where all kinds of magic doesn't work until inside the dungeon.
It's a terrain effect that applies not only to the adventurer's side, but also to the monster's side.
By using the magic storm to turn the monster into a magical attack.
It prevented Margaret from taking any damage.
''I have zero worries about getting hurt with this.
You're very good, Master Lyota.
So I think it's safe to say, one more time, please.
Yes!
Margaret took the great sword and boldly went towards the new recruit.
As I watched, I glanced around.
Those four ...... didn't seem to be showing up at all.
It's amazing how completely they read through what I was doing.
On the other hand, Margaret was fighting with the new recruits.
Still playing around, that's the level of playfulness.
Margaret, whose combat ability was all F, wasn't originally suited for combat, and was a tome specialist adventurer who made use of her drop-all A.
That's what I fought from the beginning, and I was at an overwhelming disadvantage.
Even so, I'm slowly getting used to it.
It's not that I don't have any combat experience at all.
I'm used to fighting itself and I have experience.
On top of that, a situation where I can continue to fight with no damage.
Margaret has gradually been able to keep up with the movements of the new recruits.
It's a slow-moving, but "after this comes this way, this comes that way" way of moving in a memorization game ().
It's the exact concept of the guide movie I'm trying to do, where even a less capable adventurer can take down a monster.
After a few hours of fighting unscathed, Margaret was able to learn all of the new recruit's moves and take that guy down by herself.
''Yes!We did it!
Good night.
Thank you, Lady Lyota!
What?
This is the first time I've ever defeated a monster like this on my own!
Yeah.
Thank you so much!
Margaret took my hand and, with eager eyes, gave me strong words of thanks.
