Volume 6, Chapter 2: I became a 3rd Grader, Part 2

Shijima Yuuki-kun, who had come for the meeting right on time, unmasked and turned his face away in embarrassment when he noticed that his actions had been seen.

Although I was waiting for Yuuki-kun in the middle of the night, this wasn’t some secret rendezvous, and if anything, our feelings could not be further from that.

If I were to describe our relationship, it was like meeting someone again when I’d just come back from Tokyo to the countryside, and even then, more like one of my classmates from back there who had a bad relationship with me.

All we really wanted was information on each other’s ‘place of origin’.

And then… just a little bit of the ‘nostalgia’ that you get from fellowship… I wonder.

“Well then, shall we move on?”

“oi…… do you know what you were doing just now…? Moderate your strange experiments.”

“Did it bother you?”

“To the the inhabitants of this world……? Well, whether they live or die, or if you kill them, it doesn’t matter to me.”

How barbaric. It seems that there were various things had happened when he was being reincarnated.

Even if I was doing something, I thought of all the experiments done by the mages who had quit on their humanity but never felt bothered by it.

Anyway, we started moving off while the feeling was like that.

It’s so amazingly easy since we don’t need to use vehicles like regular people. Well, for two elementary schoolers to get into a car at midnight would stand out.

Yuuki-kun, with his high physical abilities, jumped from rooftop to rooftop, not worrying at all about me behind him. And I followed without saying a thing.

I’ve gotten quite used to using [Magic Power] to move my body… Because of that, I feel like the inside of my thighs are getting squishy, what do I do……

“Will this area work?”

“It should.”

We arrived at a big disused factory in the middle of the industrial district, and dropped down.

It was for the sake of an information exchange that Yuuki-kun and I met at night. If it was just normal information, we could have done it in school, but Yuuki-kun didn’t want to speak about his past life much, and what I wanted to know was about the [Sorcery] of his world. And what Yuuki-kun wanted to know about me was the [Magic] of opening dimensional walls.

So I couldn’t practice where there were people, and had to change locations every time.

“…[Fire at the root of all things, gather in my hands, become arrows and defeat mine enemies]…… Flare Arrow”

*fwooosh* and from Yuuki-kun’s hands, arrows of flame about 30 centimeters long flew out, scorching the concrete walls.

“Oohhh~~”

“Basically you memorize the incantation, keep a clear image of [Fire] and [Arrows], and [Shoot] in your head, and it’ll activate. Of course, there is no [Magic Power] in this world, so it won’t work for humans.”

“……incantation?”

“The thing that I was chanting a while ago.”

“Aah, I see. I thought that it sounded weird…… but it seems that it was translated.”

“Translated……? You, have the [Translation] skill?”

“Skill…? What’s that?”

“…… In the world that Yuzu lived in, was it the same as this world, without [Skills]? …… No, is there no concept of this? I also lost my usual skills, and even the [Secret Arts] could not be used… that’s the difference? But then that means that the translation of the cantrip in the first place…”

“Oi~, come back~. Aren’t you…… just using [Words]? Although they weren’t words used by ‘people’, I knew them, so they just automatically translated.”

“No way, you know the language of the greater spirits……? Although I have heard rumors, aren’t they completely unpronounceable to humans? But then, the spell… shouldn’t make sense.”

“Eh…… what do you mean?”

“If you were using the language of the greater spirits, just by putting magic power into your [Words], you would be able to cast real [magic]. What I use is merely the ‘knock-off’ that was made to allow humans to use it… Thinking about how long it took me before I understood the meaning of the spell…”

Yuuki-kun had an exceptionally sulky expression for his age. Apparently, it seems like he was quite the serious fellow in his past life.

That being said, I was doing it unconsciously, but I used magic with the [Spirit Language] even in that school.

I imitated what Yuuki-kun was doing and pointed my hands at the wall.

“…[Flames come out]…”

…*pusuuu*

“”………””

Eeh~…… why did it turn out like that?

“Yuzu’s magic power is strong. It’s to the point that it’s superhuman, and that might have influenced it. I felt magic power even the first time I met Yuzu, so I was cautious. I couldn’t see you status……”

“Sta-tus? What’s that?”

“…………”

Yuuki-kun who I thought of as quiet normally grimaced. But in our current state of cooperation, because it seemed like he was an ‘accomplice’, it seems he gave up, and gave me a detailed explanation as to what was wrong.

“Ah, it feels like a game.”

“……Well, it feels like that. When I translated it into the words of this world, it was most casual…… even my [Hero’s Secret Art].”

“Fuuuhn.”

…… As expected, he’s a [Hero] type.

As I understood that, I knew that Yuuki-kun was the natural enemy to [Demon me]

“……What?”

“No, just thinking about how Yuuki-kun plays games……”

“It-it can’t be helped. My parents bought it. It would be very odd if I didn’t play.”

Yuuki-kun, who had been taken in by my words, turned red and made an excuse. My parents now are the good people. My family has not lost.

*pon*

“Don’t tap my shoulder while having that strange agreeable smile.”

“Fufufu.”

“……tsch. Yuzu, show me your status. I couldn’t see it in school because I didn’t have the time. In the meantime, you have to stay still, so it’s a little unnatural?”

“Uwaa, I want to see it too. But… how do you see it? Can I use it too?”

“……I can use it but the time spent depends on the magic power being consumed, it is about 5 minutes at maximum magic power. If I cut down on the power, it might take 30 minutes, perhaps?”

“Then in 5 minutes, please.”

“Please hold still. We are normal humans, after all.”

“Normal, huh……”

Hero-sama is not a normal human being, is he?

Before that, I’ll briefly explain. I was told the average values of a normal person.

Physical Endurance: 100. Mental Endurance: 60

Strength: 12

Defense: 10

Dexterity: 10
