Chapter 171
“So, if you did beco stronger . What would you do?”
Scala kept asking questions . ‘Let see...’ Tenjouin pretended to give it so thought .
He knew what he would do .
“Well, I guess I would beat up the person I want to defeat . ”
It felt more passionate .
He realized once again how he felt as he answered .
He had co to this world and touched a sword for the first ti . It was the first ti he had seen magic . He had skills, but he started at 0 with everything .
But now he had surpassed the kingdom’s knights and killed monsters that had been difficult before . He fought demons and was victorious .
Before he knew it, Tenjouin had discovered the thrill of climbing higher mountains and surpassing them .
Am I combat maniac?
He chuckled to himself . Scala listened to his answer and then said,
“I’ve decided! I choose you!”
She had decided sothing .
“Huh?”
“You want to beco stronger, don’t you?”
“I do...”
“Then I shall make it co true . ”
He didn’t know what was happening
But Scala looked happy as she grabbed his hand . With her other hand, she pulled out a teleportation sphere and threw it .
When the sphere shattered, a magic circle appeared in that spot .
“Now, let’s go . ”
Scala forcefully pulled Tenjouin’s arm .
However, such thods did not sit well with him . And he frantically resisted .
“Wa-wait a minute! Go!? Go where? What do you an about making it co true!?”
Tenjouin tried to pull away from her grip as he asked this, but he was not strong enough .
Scala didn’t look at all disturbed by his desperate struggle, and she replied in a calm voice .
“Isn’t it obvious? I am going to train you and make you stronger . ”
“What? Stronger?”
“If everything goes well, you will gain strength incomparable to where you are now . You may even be able to catch up to Yato . ”
At the ntion of training, Tenjouin stopped struggling and looked at her with wide eyes .
It was so sudden that he did not know what to think, but Scala’s last words sounded clearly in his ears .
He might catch up to Yato . To Kamiya .
And he would be much stronger than before .
He had given up only a mont ago . But if he was with a god of superior strength, maybe it was possible after all .
“I thought you might be worth sothing the mont you first challenged to a fight . And now I know that there is soone you wish to beat . So you have no reason to refuse . ”
It seed that Scala had seen sothing in Tenjouin .
And his question and challenge to her to fight had miraculously made a good impression on her .
Perhaps they were fundantally quite similar to each other .
He could defeat Kamiya and beco stronger...
Tenjouin muttered this to himself as if Scala was not there .
Just putting it into words seed to make his heart burn hot .
When he imagined the mont of victory, all of his will to resist seed to lt away .
However, that was the problem .
“Let’s go then . Ti is of the essence . ”
“Uh, wha!?”
Once Scala was finished answering his question, she pulled him forward toward the magic circle . And then she jumped .
Her body went inside of the circle, and then both she and Tenjouin disappeared .
“I didn’t say that I would go with you yet!!”
“Te-Tenjouin!?”
Tenjouin scread as he was dragged into it . But his voice suddenly cut off .
Miki frantically tried to stop him, but she was too late .
He was gone in an instant, and only Miki remained .
“Wh-what should I do...”
Things had happened so suddenly that she could not make decisions in ti .
The room had been so loud a mont ago, but now everything was silent .
In any case, she thought that it would be best to go and tell Luri .
What had happened was practically an abduction . But since she had said she was going to train Tenjouin, Miki would call it an apprenticeship .
While she decided this, she continued to stand there motionless . And then she suddenly rembered sothing as she raised her voice with an ‘Ah . ’
“I forgot to tell him . ”
It was the reason she had co here in the first place .
It was too bad she couldn’t tell him .
She felt strong regret over this .
After all, the information had to do with the ultimate reason he had co to this world .
–She finally knew where the demon lord was .
She had been able to ask one of the four great generals she had brought back from earth before .
After being summoned, Tenjouin had been able to learn the basics of sword and magic and gained experience through killing monsters .
Then he pushed back the wave of monsters that swept the country until the place was considered to be safe again .
But up until now, the location of the demon lord had been a mystery . And now they would be able to go and defeat him .
It ant the end of the long battle in this world .
And yet, Scala had forcefully taken away Tenjouin .
Furthermore, no one knew when he would return .
Miki was worried about the future, but there was no point in thinking about it now .
She would just have to pray .
Besides, even though she knew the location, there were lots of preparations to be made .
And so there was no real need to rush .
No need to rush...
“Why am I always the person who has to wait...”
Miki had nothing but complaints .
She had thought that she could be together with Tenjouin when she ca back from earth...
She sighed . Strangely, she did not feel the sa sense of sadness as before .
Perhaps it was because she had experienced this before . But she did not like being used to it .
“...I’ll go look for Luri . ”
She had to explain what just happened .
Luri would probably think the sa thing as her .
Thinking about it like that, she sohow felt less inclined to tell her .
Why do I have to do this...
She sighed again . While she didn’t care to, Miki teleported away to where Luri was .
You would think that things would settle after returning from earth . But now he was taken away to be trained by a god .
But they knew where the Demon Lord was now . Their final purpose now felt like a very realistic possibility .

“Luri . ”
“Oh, Miki . What is it?”
“I don’t seem to have any luck with n...”
“Oh, what happened? This is so sudden . ”
“I don’t know if I could feel any more sad...”
“Uh, so what are you talking about?”
“Do you think I’d be punished if I punched him the next ti we et?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but why don’t you just do what you want?”
