Episode 51.4 (1/2)
The pair encountered relatively powerful magic beasts just before lunch that day. Two of them. Never seen before type. They're likely classified under <Demon Lion> just like the previous one. Their roar had <Intimidation> effect mixed in. Against opponents weaker than them this roar will immobilize their targets in fear. Their limbs were stout, strength tremendous and claws and fangs sharp. Their jaws must pack some serious power too. They would be around floor 100 beasts by Palcimo's standard. They shot out fireballs but since the move was very much telegraphed, Lecan and Eda easily dodged it. Eda instantly killed one of them with her magic bow, while Lecan cut down the other's head. They collected magic stones from these two magic beasts.
During lunch break, Lecan told Eda about the stuff he heard from his duel's opponent. Eda listened to it with gleaming eyes and asked Lecan all kinds of things about the duel afterward.
”Ooh I see. That person did seem like a good person for sure. So like. He got a hit on Lecan to dispel Heles-san's regret and then he'd propose to her with that deed under his belt. Uwaa, that's so nice. So so, has that guy made the move already?”
”Beats me.”
”Going up against an overlord for the sake of your love, that's soo poetic.”
”Who the heck's an overlord.”
”I mean the look alone is already intimidating, but it's actually even worse once you cross swords. Humans can't hope to match that.”
”I'm a human. Ah, yeah. That guy's probably disciplined under Arios's school of swordsmanship.”
”Eeh? So someone from Iris Clan taught him? Hee, I see. Fufu. Hey, Lecan. Do you think Heles-san will accept his courtship?”
”Who knows.” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
”By the way Lecan. Weren't you trying to lose on purpose during that duel?”
”What makes you think that.”
”That match could have ended much faster with your speed, yet you purposely overlooked so many chances.”
”Hou.”
”How do I put it. It's like you've accepted his challenge or something.”
Good insight. When did she got all this power of observation anyway.
”And the referee was gonna declare your victory at the end, didn't he. But then you said something to him.”
”Yea. I would have died if it were a real blade or something.”
”Hee. So you yielded victory. It's like you're a wingman. To that viscount person.”
”Beats me.”
”I love that part of you, Lecan.”
”....”
”Only issue is that there's surprisingly a lot of women who noticed that quality of yours too.”
”There's no one like that.”
”There are. See here, me. Norma-san. And Sushana-san at Vouka. Heles-san. You didn't do anything sketchy with that woman at Tsubolt, did you.”
”I've done nothing of such.”
”Sounds fishy. Was there really nothing going on with that Eliza girl?”

”Nothing at all.”
They took a longish break after lunch.
They didn't encounter any more foes that day, smooth going all the way.
They camped in the Meadow again that night.
”Hey, hey, Lecan.”
”Hm?”
”Tell me about the time you descended to this world. And thereafter, in detail please.”
”Yea.”
Lecan talked about how he lived in his previous world and in Zaidmahl Household. And since Eda still wanted to know more, he dug up his memory to talk about all kinds of things. This topic would continue on for several days. He even talked about his exchange of Guardian jewel after several days.
The day after. The third day of dungeon expedition. The tenth of month two.
They came across a pack of 200 Ashen Wolves. Lecan used <Demon Wolf Cutter>. The Grace had tremendous effect on them, killing everything in one slash.
