Chapter 9: Let’s Go With Muscle (1/2)

At the Park in the Evening: Taiyou was sitting on a wooden bench. Hera’s face suddenly popped out, from inside the vinyl convenience store bag that was beside him. (Note: wild Pikachu detected!)

「Pass me the next apple」

Gushiyaa! (Sound effect of apple being crushed)

「Steel canned coffee」 (It is steel this is not a typo, he’s just that strong :P)

Meri, Baki Baki! (*rip rip*, *snap, crush*)

「Champion Magazine」

BiriBiriBiri! (*rip, rip, rip*)

Hera passes to him the items inside his convenience store bag one by one, at times he would crush the contents and at other times he would rip it into pieces.

Fruits are squished, metallic cans are crushed, and although it was a minor amount of experience points, he even started ripping out the bestselling manga magazines without a shred of mercy.

He looked upon the mountainous of remains from his excessive destruction and Taiyou became very astonished.

「What a terrifying amount of power….」

「Yes〜, as expected of my Taiyou-chan〜」

「Don’t tell me, is this……」

「Yes, of course〜, it’s because Taiyou-chan’s strength/power has increased〜」

「As I thought…….So this is what 30 strength feels like」

Taiyou opened both his hands, and whilst gazing at his palms, he opened and closed them. The appearance of his hands did not change in the slightest but, hidden inside was a crazy amount of power that was exceeding anything a mere high school student could exert.

「I really didn’t believe that by leveling I could grow stronger in real life」

「Muka! 」 (note: Pout)

Hera jumped out of the plastic bag and was huffy/angry.

「Taiyou-chan, you didn’t believe in my words? 」

「Well, I was half convinced & half dubious. I mean…..All that I have been doing up till now was stacking up some Jenga blocks and making them fall, digging up holes and burying them, and turning over my 1 yen coin from heads to tails……..Those kinds of ridiculous things you know? Normally people wouldn’t think that they would get an increase in abilities just from doing those mediocre tasks right? 」

「Even so, Taiyou-chan is a meanie〜. You need to believe in me more〜, that way I can help you more often, kay〜」

「Where did a goddess like you come from…….Even if I don’t want to, It has gone to the point where I can’t not believe in you」(basically he’s saying he believes in her…the double negatives strikes again)

Taiyou stood up from the bench, and he approached a tree that was planted within the park. It was a tree big enough for a fully grown man to wrap his arms around it.

Taiyou was thinking of applying a small amount of power to the trunk of the tree with his hand. When he did this, the tips of his fingers sunk into the tree and made an indentation/holes that was distinctly apparent on the tree.

He wanted to try out something he once saw in a manga. He looked at the hand print he saw on the tree, and suddenly Taiyou became very excited/thrilled.

He loved raising levels in games, that’s why when Hera appeared in front of him he was able to obtain the feeling of being able to play games in real life. However, if levelling up in real life literally/actually increase his real life abilities then it was a whole new ballpark that he had to consider.

Level 4, Strength was at 30. And with this amount of strength, I was able to activate the amount of power I displayed just moments ago.

Just thinking about this fact made him exhilarated and he wanted to get up and do something.

If it was like this, he wanted to without delay and as fast as possible increase his level…….. With these kind of thoughts, he turned his face towards Hera and wanted to ask her of the methods required in order to increase to the next level, however at that moment.

「Taiyou-san」

There was someone calling out his name. When he changed his point of view to the direction the voice came from, only one of the three twin sisters stood there, she was the shortest of the bunch (Kazane) and she was standing in the entrance of the park.

Maybe it was because of the moonlight or perhaps it was some other kind of thing. But, her cheeks were blushing as she approached Taiyou whilst looking into his eyes.

「Oh it’s you? 」

「Won’t you call me by my name? 」

「…….Kazane」

When her name was called out just like she wished it to be, her face reddened even further.

「Why have you come here? 」

「That was exactly my question to you.Before homeroom class even finished you dashed out of the class room, were you ok? I was so worried and I tried searching everywhere for you」

「Yeah, I had some small matters to attend to you see」

「By small matters…..you mean that? 」

Kazane moved her face as if she was trying to peek and see what was behind Taiyou, She was looking at the wooden bench which he was sitting on just moments ago. Below the bench the things Taiyou crushed and ripped were littered all over the floor and rolling down like a bunch of wreckage. It was the kind of thing that if you didn’t know the internal state of affairs, any normal person would be greatly bewildered and or perplexed when seeing such a spectacle.

Of course, Kazane was not an exception.

「Were you releasing your frustrations and trying to reduce stress? 」

「Hm? ahh I guess it’s something like that」

Taiyou nods his head in assent. Kazane couldn’t see Hera and she also didn’t know Taiyou was capable of levelling up, furthermore he thought that it was better for her to remain oblivious to such facts.

「Is that really so?…..Hey, Taiyou-san」

「Eh? 」

「If you have some pent up frustrations to release……… I’m, okay with it」

「……..What are you fine with? 」

「I will be able to……..endure it」

「no, no, no, no, you don’t have to do anything, it’s not that kind of pent up frustrations/desires」

「If it’s not about that, then, thenn……」

「Hmm? 」
