Chapter 131 – Grandpa

“Um… why don’t I go alone? I’m a phantom thief, so I can avoid traps easily. And if anything, I can run away.”

Squaa raised his hand and said. But I couldn’t accept it. From my experience, most of the top performers at the round table were those with similar skills to Werner’s colleagues. Especially with that bastard Gawain, I could have died if I had fought with my mind. In addition, Lancelot was not convinced that all heroes, including Berner, could win.

If Squah… If Squaa, who had less fighting power than the current Werner, ran into them… the odds of winning would be zero. Werner’s heart, which regarded Squaa as his own sister, was rejecting it. He may think that he has withdrawn, but he understands the feeling of not being able to leave a woman with the same last name as himself.

“Don’t bullshit. I’ll go alone.”

Since the steel spirit king is following me, if I go with Armadura and Squaga with the Heavenly Demon old man, I will be torn 2 to 2 in the same way. Wouldn’t it be torn apart by a fantastic combination? No, I give Armadura the lack of physical strength, and Armadura makes up for my lack of reason.

And if the Heavenly Demon supplements the fighting power that Squaa lacks, and Squaa complements the Heavenly Demons lack of utility and intelligence… Isn’t it truly a fantastic quartet?

“The two of them have never fought against a sword round table. They are not ordinary strong people. Besides, they are not ordinary strong people, and each one has a unique constitution.”

Like breathing fire from his body, being an ugly nymph, eating magic… What was Lancelot’s constitution? All Swordsman? A body that is very good at regenerating?

But the Heavenly Demon old man hit me on the head.

“Tsk… A young fellow is so arrogant… It’s deeply rooted arrogance to think that only you can fight them.”

“Do you hit me on the head for that?”

“It’s the slap of love that struck me to be smart, so accept it gratefully.”

If you hit your head, you die if your brain cells die, so I don’t think you’ll ever get smarter.

“No, sir, I’m not kidding, he’s really strong. Even if we all attack him, there are people who doubt whether he will be able to win.”

Then, the eyes of the old man of the Heavenly Demon became sharp. Is it because your strength is being questioned? This man always changes when talking about the strongest or the ranking of power fights. I knew he was crazy about fighting, but…

“Ohhh… I have doubts whether I can win even if I join forces… It’s interesting. Tell me a bit more.”

Well… you’d better hide the fact that he’s Camellia’s father. Because she also wanted me to hide it.

“No, there’s nothing special about it… He’s a guy with long, waist-length black hair… His race is…”

“hahahaha, should we even talk about trivial things? The important thing now is not the impression of the pervert that the youngest met. There are also.”

Squaa sighed and cut me off. But she was right. What was more important now was killing these fucking bastards than sharing Lancelot’s bastard’s identity.

“Then let’s decide quickly, who will go alone?”

“But objectively, people who don’t seem to have any problems being alone…”

“Your sister seems to have the same idea…”

Squa and I were looking at the Heavenly Demon. Certainly, the old man was the strongest among them.

“Since you all agreed, I’d rather go alone. I’d better go left.”

“No, why…”

“Didn’t I just say that I saw traces of the use of witchcraft and acupuncture? From that moment on, I could feel it. This familiar, yet unpleasant, fucking feeling.”

I didn’t really feel anything. At most, the road on the left smelled faintly of hydrangeas. However, I was a little surprised to say that it was only that familiar and unpleasant.

“Anyway, it seems that the losers who were defeated by the principal have crept in. I wondered where they’ve been hiding… I guess it’s a man’s duty to break a strong bond with an old friend, so I guess I’ll have to go.”

“… be careful, old man.”

“Heh heh, where am I going to die? You just have to worry about yourself. He’s still very skinny… Whoever sees it, you’ll think he’s a foster family, you bastard.”

The old man stabbed me in the stomach. Certainly, this body did not gain weight no matter how much food was eaten. It wasn’t too skinny though.

“Then, if you look at the old man, you’ll think he’s an old servant from his adoptive family. A servant who buys other maids and gives them as a bonus when they’re too old.”

Then Squaa burst into laughter.

“Keukkeuk… But honestly, considering my age, I don’t think I would accept it even if it was given as a bonus.”

“Military boy, being old isn’t the same thing as you. Don’t pretend to be young by yourself. Because he’s the only one young here. Oh, and…”

A fist like a flash of inspiration from the Heavenly Demon struck Squa and the top of my head. I woke up with a sharp, sobering shock.

“I’ve told you several times that you don’t tease your elders like that… but you still haven’t learned anything.”

—–

“You look like an eccentric old man…”

Skua took the lead in grumbling. The fact that his mouth came out was like grabbing a person with his lips.

“Let’s just say it. Why are you hitting me on the head again? If your already bad hair gets worse, I’m not going to take responsibility… No, even if I do take responsibility, I’m not going to do it.”

“hahahaha sister, don’t say anything to the old man. You’re originally that kind of person. Besides, my sister and I are formidably unusual people.”

“Yeah well… But you and I are Buddhas compared to that old man.”

To express the personality of the old man, it would be a radical tsundere villain with a bit of a twist. He broke the arm of a nobleman whom Squaa ignored as a descendant of a dreamer, or broke the leg of a knight who was of Werner origin and objected to him being among the heroes.

Basically, he dislikes noisy and talkative people, but he was happy to see children running around in places like restaurants. It doesn’t look too unpleasant to me.

“No, a person has to be flexible. It’s because he’s so strict…”

“I don’t know anything else, and I don’t think our old man would ever be the one to conspire with the Black Round Table.”

If you just say that they and we are the same thing, you’re screwed. He was never the kind of person who would do anything nefarious.

“…is that so?”

Squaa was still suspicious. Well, because of that inner pain, Werner’s colleagues said that they were having a lot of trouble, so it’s no big deal that her and my perspective are different.

“Well, our Heavenly Demon old man is the kind of person who would be f*cked up even if the Black Round Table threatens him… no, even if a knife comes into his throat.”

Skua seemed to be thinking about something. Yes, since she knew the Heavenly Demon from before she joined the heroes’ party, she should know better what I’m talking about.

“Yeah… I’m not an idiot for that.”

“right?”

Trust between colleagues is important. No matter how many traitors there are, if you throw away trust, then that’s exactly what the Black Round Table kids want to do. I was proud of the fact that I had restored the relationship of trust between the two.

“By the way, the youngest. Are you only stepping where your sister stepped on?

Well, in a research facility like this, there was no way there would be an old-fashioned artifact that works by stepping on a specific tile. Still, it was not okay to be nagged at by Squa, so I was just following the places she stepped on.

“Oh, I’m following you. Don’t worry.”

There can be no such thing as an old-fashioned trap in a facility like this…

Poo-wook.

“What the fuck?”

The left and right feet were out of balance. Because the tile on the right that I’m stepping on has gone in.

There was a fucking trap like this. In my own way, I thought I followed the tile that Squa was stepping on, but why did this stupid thing happen?

“Sister suck…!”

Before I could say anything, the floor went out, and I fell. If he crashed into the ground like this, he would hit his buttock and injure his tailbone.

“Bah… wind, embrace me!!!”

I used thankful wind attribute magic that prepares me for a fall. Fortunately, there were no injuries other than a slightly sprained back.

“Four… Another person has fallen!”

What…

The person who made the noise was a young child who looked about 9 years old. But if it’s a kid in this facility… it’s clear that it’s a test subject. The child was looking at me with bright eyes. It seems that magic is strange.

“You’re a wizard, right?”

Now no… No, it’s a wizard.”

The child’s eyes began to shine brighter. At this rate, I can use it like a flashlight even in the dark.

“How did you get here, kid?”

The little boy hesitated for a moment before answering.

“I was dragged by some mean people. But all my friends with me turned into strange monsters and ran away… I pressed a strange floor and fell here.”

“Ah, so you’re still stuck here after falling out recently?”

Then the little boy started shaking his head.

“No, I fell here three years ago. My uncles who live on this floor are taking care of children who, like me, ran away and fell here.”
