<h4>Bridegroom Training</h4> <h4>Taking a break from training.</h4>
I decided to use Niku as my body pillow and roll around in bed for a while.
Today was a rest day from training. Leona said it wasn''t good to push yourself too hard, which was surprisingly reasonable given that it wasing from her.
"But man, I''m a magic specialist but now I can even cut through rocks."
"As Goshujin-sama grows stronger, I worry that my usefullness will decrease."
"Don''t worry, I intend to make full use of you in the future, Niku."
My body not being my own felt terrible. Let''s focus on rolling around in my room…
"But I feel like I got muscle soreness from cutting those rocks…"
"What are you talking about? You''re Kehma, cutting through rocks should be normal for you."
As I thought about it, Rokuko spoke as she entered the room. She casually sat down on the opposite side of Niku and crawled into the bed. What''s she up to?
Ah, maybe she''s just cold and wants to get under the cover? Well, guess I have no choice.
"Why not use [Healing]?"
"You didn''t know, Rokuko? It''s supposedly better to let the muscles recover naturally. It''s totally not just my excuse to roll around in bed either."
If healing magic could make you stronger, Leona would probably have suggested something like [cut off your arm and heal it over and over to build muscle easily].
"I never thought I could cut rocks… but I don''t remember training that much? Maybe just a little in the Demonds."
"Maybe you''re using some kind of body strengthening magic?"
"Ah, I see. That makes sense."
It would be strange if I could cut rocks without bing more muscr, and I was beginning to worry about it being difficult to adjust to having strength like that in daily life, but that was resolved in a sh.
That''s right. In this world, I could use magic freely.
I was already in the realm of superpowers and if I wanted to have something far awaye to my hand, I could activate wind magic without and incantation and make it fly over to me like nothing.
It was a sort of magic I learned because I was toozy to get out of bed.
I could also use magic to return things back to where I got them from, of course. I didn''t use wind magic for that, though, I used [Teleport].
"Right, I remember Nerune praising what you did as the essence of magic whilementing its wasteful use."
"What''s that? Like the whole [luxuries can only be afforded with money] kind of feel?"
Either way, I used magic like it was my hands or feet. If I was unconsciously applying magic when moving my actual hands and feet, it wouldn''t be strange… yeah.
On the other hand, has my strength without magic decreased a lot?
Maybe I''ve been too much of a sloth. I''ve been moving around with Leona''s training a lottely though…
"… I''m starting to feel like not getting a bit of exercise after training might be a bad thing."
"Oh? Suira said there''s a good exercise for men and women to do together. Do you want to do it, Niku?"
"Rokuko-sama, tell me more."
"Wait. Don''t take what a Subus says at face value. Their race and culture is different."
That''s definitely the type of exercise that would get me punched by Haku-san.
… Wait, wasn''t I already given permission? Huh?
<h4>＊</h4>
There were people referred to as [Viger Adventurers] in Golen.
To be precise, they were people who started out as adventurers but ended up bing vigers as well. Though tracing back even further, I suppose they started out as vigers in the first ce since they tended to be farmers'' third sons or something like that before they became adventurers.
These so-called viger adventurers generally made a living by hunting Goblins and Golems in the dungeon and receiving rewards from the Adventurer Guild.
To lead a somewhat decent life, you need at least enough power to hunt Iron Golems at the party level, or it wouldn''t work out.
Therefore, all the viger adventurers were actually quite skilled.
Several viger adventurers chatted while drinking at the inn.
"Don''t you think the vige chief has some kind of presencetely?"
"Oh, you think so too? It''s like he''s got the aura of a strong person now."
"I knew he wasn''t an ordinary person from the start, but it feels like the deceptive appearance is finally gone, ya know?"
They were very sensitive to Kehma''s improvement in strength.
Kehma, who had been going to the dungeon every daytely, seemed to be getting stronger day by day.
"After all, he''s a man who can beat Hero Wataru."
"He did have to cheat a bit though."
"The vige chief himself says he can''t beat him, so even though it''s cheating… If he challenged him head-on, wouldn''t Wataru get his first victory?"
Indeed, they all nodded.
"Hmm? Are you talking about me?"
And then Wataru himself showed up.
"Oh? Yo, Wataru. Did youe to make offerings to that witch again?"
"Haha, well… you''re not entirely wrong."
Hero Wataru spoke while scratching his head in embarrassment.
Despite having many women to choose from, everyone wondered why he was so smitten with the witch—that is, Nerune.
Although she had a in appearance that didn''t stand out at first nce, no one could deny that she was beautiful.
Moreover, her nickname as a [Witch] is not actually referring to her being a witch, but rather how she was a seductress who had the hero wrapped around her finger. (Nerune herself was quite fond of it.)
"So is it true that Kehma has be stronger?"
"Yeah, there''s no doubt about it. Well, he''s been strong from the start…"
"That just makes it even harder for me to win."
Saying that, Wataru seemed happy for some reason.
"Between the witch and the vige chief, you''re pretty strange huh, Wataru?"
"Like you enjoy losing. Well, not like it''s a big deal or anything."
"I''ve won so many times that I''m bored of winning! It''s weird for me to say that about myself though."
"Hahaha, well, you''re a hero after all!"
The viger adventurer pped Wataru on the back in a friendly manner. The traveling merchant who had noticed Wataru and was watching from a distance trembled.
"So, is there a reason why Kehma''s gotten stronger?"
When Wataru asked, the viger adventurers all started talking up.
"Hmm? Let me think. Until recently, his wife had a bodyguard sent to her, but that was withdrawn, right?"
"No, he was justzy for a while after that. Right, it was his daughter''s birthday!"
"Hmm, I can''t think of anything… Oh,e to think of it, didn''t it start when that ck-haired woman came?"
At the mention of [ck-haired], Wataru reacted sharply.
"ck hair? Like mine and Kehma''s? With ck eyes?"
"Yeah, she has the same pitch-ck hair as the vige chief. But her eyes were red."
"ck hair, red eyes. Hmm, like Kehma, there''s a possibility that her parents are heroes. I''d like to talk to her a bit."
With that, Wataru thought about meeting that person.
He just couldn''t get the thought out of his mind.
