Chapter 96

Side: Lute Mclane

After the war in the Beastman’s Country, there was a discussion with the Dragon King and his merry companions.
So, after this and that, we got a six-month grace period until the final battle…

Anyway, I was thinking about what to do during these six months.

Regarding Lilith, that’s one thing, but I was considering training Cordelia since she’d definitely get involved in the turmoil…

But without consulting me, Cordelia went off to that old man with the pink hair.
Last time we fought, I ended it with one blow… Seems she had some things on her mind.

Well… in terms of her safety, there’s nowhere more suitable, so I’m not worried about that…

But that old man who looks like a girl is completely reckless.
I almost got killed every day too.

So, I’m very concerned about that.

As for Lilith, as planned from before, she’s supposed to have an awakening event at the Dragon’s Village.
It seems she has her own concerns…

So, in the meantime, she ended up becoming Merlin’s disciple, that loli baba from the demon realm.

Seriously, they’re all such self-centered people.
Well, I mean… I’m the one who’s the most self-centered, though.

So, what am I doing now?

A training camp.

「So, I’m going to retrain all of you properly. 」

Right now, I’m with Saegusa, the elf old man, and the guild master, at the edge between the human realm and the demon realm.

Even if it’s six months later, it’s impossible to take these guys to the ends of the earth.
However, they need to reach at least the level where they’re considered to have barely quit being human…

Otherwise, I’ll be in trouble.

「Isn’t this impossible, Lute-san? This isn’t just leveling up, you know!?」

While being blown away by the vibrations from the landing of an S-rank difficulty Evil Cyclops, Saegusa shouted.

「No, it’s proper leveling up. My time was much worse.」

I glanced back.

「Are you seriously catching this old man now and asking for the impossible… Don’t you know the word ‘safety margin’?」

Similarly, the elderly elf, unscathed even after taking a direct hit from the Elf’s ultimate magic, exclaimed in bewilderment.

「If you’re talking about a safety margin, I left that term behind in my previous life. Sorry about that.」

With that, I turned my gaze to the right.

「Why the heck am I… being dragged into this toooo!」

The guild master, being chased by an S-rank difficulty Demon Prince, shouted.

「Old man, it’s just to even the numbers.」

「Are you seriously treating me this poorly!?」

At that moment, I lent a hand to everyone.
Well, I just slaughtered all the monsters in one go, but still.

Everyone was gasping for breath, their faces turning pale.

But really, these guys… are completely useless.
They might be considered strong in general, but they’re not of any use on our battlefield.

Saegusa, in her awakened state, might still be somewhat useful… but since her basic body is too weak, she can’t fully harness the power of the gods.

First, they need to become somewhat decent in their natural state…

「Oh, about earlier… when I said ‘evening the numbers,’ it was just a joke.」

「And?」

「Among my trusted acquaintances, aside from Lilith and Cordelia, you guys are the most reliable in terms of combat prowess.」

With that, I raised three fingers.

The trio consists of Saegusa as the attacker, the old man as the shield, and the elderly elf who supports both offense and defense with magic…
Surprisingly, the synergy among these three as a party isn’t bad.

「But why are you doing this?」

「I’ve got guild work to do, you know? I only tagged along because I thought it would be a picnic-like outing for a few days…」

「Yeah, well, the thing is…」

And with that, I began explaining the current situation of the land and the concept of reincarnators like Moses.
