"Wh-What is that?!"
"How many slashes did he do?!"
"Dammit, my eyes hurt!"
Demons are known to be quite immune to physical attack, yet it was cut by Tamazuki.
Moreover, the number of cuts, they thought that it was inhumanly impossible to be done, yet Tamazuki was able to do it.
Yet, what they didn't know was Tamazuki had never been serious, and he didn't even use his "Instant Swordsmanship" and perford one hundred slashes with just his average speed, even worse, with this run-down katana.
Still, Tamazuki wondered whether he could develop his swordsmanship further.
Even further, when everything in this world could be cut by him.
By then, his swordsmanship had touched the realm of absolute cutting.
With his "Swordsmanship Talent" and "Enhanced Learning," he didn't doubt the possibility of developing this technique, so with that thought, he quickly tried to learn the technique.
Absolute Cutting.
It was his goal.
"Inugami!"
"Congratulations!"
"Aweso!"
As expected, Kaval, Gido, and Ellen leaped and hugged him happily. They were happy as if this success of his were their happiness.
Tamazuki had to say they were all good people, but weren't they a little too naive? Nevertheless, it was good that they were the first people that he had ever t. Still, he didn't think that he should stay with them as he had his purpose, and their existence would beco a burden for him.
"Hello. Sorry for bothering you."
Tamazuki looked at the middle-aged man, who seed to be quite crafty.
"You are?"
"My na is Fuze. I am the guild master of the Free Guild's Blumund Branch."
"Hello, my na is Inugami."
"Nice to et you, Inugami. I hope that we can get to know each other well."
"I hope so too, but being an adventure is only a part-ti job for , and I might be busy with other things."
"Really? Then, should I help you?"
"You are a guild master. You must be busy with many things. I can't bother you with my own things."
"Hmm... is it , or are you trying to avoid ?" Fuze looked at Tamazuki with doubt, showing his crafty side.
"Ah, you can tell that?" Tamazuki was surprised.
"....." Fuze.
"Well, my friends here told that the guild master is soone that I need to avoid at all costs as he is such as slave driver and will work people to death. He is a demon."
"Oh? I am a demon. It's my first ti to know such a thing." Fuze then looked at the three idiots behind Tamazuki. "Really? Can you tell more about what you think about , Kaval-kun, Gido-kun, Ellen-kun?"
"....." 3x
Kaval, Gido, and Ellen thought that whether Tamazuki or Fuze, they were all demons.
---
"NOOOOO!!"
"Don't leave us!"
Unlike Gido and Kaval, who were being dragged by Fuze, Ellen could escape by saying that she needed to guide Tamazuki in the city since it was his first ti coming to this country.
Fuze wasn't a demon, and he agreed with Ellen's request since he thought that having a reliable person like Tamazuki was needed. However, he could tell that Tamazuki didn't take his adventure job seriously, but even so, in case of ergency, he should be able to ask Tamazuki's help, right?
Still, when Ellen was alone with Tamazuki, she started to get conscious and shy. Their age wasn't that much different, and he was also the man who took her first kiss. Even though it was all an accident, the fact didn't change that her first kiss was taken by him.
'If father knows...'
If her father knew, she was sure that Tamazuki would be killed, but as they had stayed together for so many days, she understood him and could tell that he wasn't a bad guy. He might be hateful, but without a doubt, he had this caring side of him, and whenever she was in crisis, he would help her. His expression might be reluctant, but his body was honest.
This side of him was also the reason why the three of them trusted him so much, so even if Ellen left with Tamazuki, they didn't doubt that Tamazuki would protect Ellen.
Right?
Still, Ellen wondered what Tamazuki thought of her.
Did he like her?
"....."
That didn't seem to be the case, and this fact made her annoyed.
"Ellen, what kind of place is that?"
"Oh, that's place is..."
Yet, while Ellen was annoyed by him, she still kindly told him many things about the things which he asked.
Still, Tamazuki was thinking about the fastest way to make money. In the modern world, he could use FOREX, stocks, and many others to gain money, but it was impossible in this world. The fastest way was, without a doubt, a trade, but what should he sell?
Food, weapons, clothes, ironware, etc.
There were many, but he stopped at potions or pharmaceuticals in the end. For him, it was easy to tell the ingredients and thods of the craft with [Great Sage] along with his learning ability, becoming a master of potions masters.
After he made his decision, he started to work.
Still, while he was investigating, Ellen, who was by his side, felt like they had a date.
Yes, a date.
She, who had been living as a sheltered lady, wished to beco an adventurer, yet for her, this might be the first ti she had had this experience of going out with a man of her age like this, as her father might kill any n who approached her.
"What are you going to do with those?"
"Making potions."
"...making potions." She wondered whether this guy was lying, but sohow she believed him. "Still, I have guided you like this since I returned. I am all tired..." She rubbed her shoulder as she glanced at him. "Don't you want to do sothing to thank ?"
"....."
Tamazuki stared at Ellen and asked, "Do you want to cook you dinner?"
"Those words are the ones that I have been waiting for!" Ellen's eyes beca bright. "So, when the ti cos, I will visit your room later."
"Sure."
Tamazuki nodded calmly as they parted since their hotels were different. Unlike him, who was royal, she was rather modest with her spending, yet, he, who had been living in the forest for a while, had to sigh once again at the quality of the room, but even so, it was still one of the best hotels in the capital.
Frankly, he felt that it might be better for him to make his own house by using his leaf manipulation, yet he didn't want to show all of his power in front of Ellen and others.
Still, as he had made a promise with Ellen, he prepared a dinner in his room. At least, even if the toilet was bad, the rest was quite satisfactory. It was a good place without a doubt, but with his money, unless he got more inco, he would beco holess sooner or later.
While he cooked the dinner, he put all the ingredients for the potions inside his body and let his [Stomach] do the job, turning all the ingredients into the potions that he could sell tomorrow.
Once again, he was glad to et Rimuru.
Nevertheless, he had to say Ellen was quite late, or was it the common sense of people in this world that they ate quite late?
As he wondered whether she would co, he wondered whether he should make a phone call, so they could communicate with each other without a problem. Still, the most important thing was to beco the Demon King, so should he massacre 10,000 humans for that?
It was horrible, but then, the window of his room was knocked on.
He was confused, but as he opened the window, he saw Ellen was there, clinging to the side of the window like a thief.
"Hey, hurry up and let in! It's cold here!"
"..."
Tamazuki closed the window quietly.
"Why did you close the window again?!"
