Chapter 237
It had been two days since Nagini began living in town and trained according to Dianeia’s plans .
It appeared that there were already some results .
「Master Daichi——! Dianeia-san’s is amazing ssu! My magic has already gotten better ssu!」
When I came to visit Nagini’s house she immediately reported this to me .
Even after a few bumps and scrapes over the past few days she had a happy expression .
「Ohh, you must’ve worked hard . 」
「Ussu, I did my best ssu!」
Nagini said with a bow and got closer .
It looked like she was a little puppy asking for praise…I wondered if she wanted me to pat her head or something…
「……… . . 」
I could see her fixing me with a gaze full of expectations .
It seems like I was right and she was acting like a big puppy looking for head pats . I decided to indulge her and patted her head .
「Ehehe… . being praised really is nice ssu…… . 」
Nagini said looking even happier and a bit embarrassed .
If this was enough to make her happy then I could do it as much as she pleased . As I patted her head I saw some scrapes and scratches on the back of her neck as well .
「Ahh, you got beat up quite a bit…」
「In a magic exchange this much can’t be helped ssu . But Dianeia-san and the others treated my wounds so there’s no problem ssu!」
Nagini said and Dianeia responded with a wry smile .
「Umu . Nagini-dono’s growth is amazing . At first she performed just like an amateur but quickly she improved to the level where she could exchange blows with a soldier . It’s no exaggeration that her speed of improvement is dozens of times faster than a normal human . 」
「Ohh? That’s really amazing Nagini . 」
「Ussu! … . . but I’m still at the level where I lose as soon as Dianeia-san fights me so I need to work harder . Plus Dianeia-san said that Master Daichi grew hundreds of times faster than a normal person so I’m completely aware that there’s always someone better ssu!」
PICTURE
She said while gripping her fists tight . I couldn’t help but tilt my head .
「I…don’t think I was actually that fast Dianeia . 」
「Yeah Daichi-dono . Sorry to have to disagree Daichi-dono…but you were able to use extremely high difficulty techniques like imagination magic only a few days since you arrived . It’s really odd . Please just acknowledge it . If the person in question doesn’t even believe that they’re improving at an abnormal rate…then our very last shred of common sense will be crushed…」
Dianeia said with a smile full of resignation .
「I don’t especially attribute it to my own efforts…I think it’s more thanks to Hesty’s good lessons and easy to understand examples . 」
Hesty may act quite humbly, but her power was most likely suitably great I thought…
「Hesty-san’s teachings ssu?… . I’d like to try and learn from her too ssu . I’ll get stronger and enter Master Daichi’s house and be fine ssu . 」
Nagini said with determination .
Certainly, if she got strong enough she wouldn’t be too affected by the area around my home .
「How does it look to you Dianeia? You think she’ll be fine?」
「Hmm, sorry but I don’t really know . Magically it’s a bit questionable, but Dragon King bodies are different from human bodies so she may be able to bear it with her body . 」
「I see . In that case the final decision lies with you Nagini… . are you sure you want to come over and try?」
「Ussu! I’ll challenge it ssu!」
「Okay then . Let’s go give it the old college try . Dianeia I’ll leave the teleportation to you . 」
And so Dianeia, Nagini, and I teleported back to my home .
**************************
And a few minutes later… . .
「I-I’m s-sorry suu . I got too far ahead of myself ssu……」
Nagini said as she lay collapsed on the ground .
In fact she hadn’t gotten more than short distance in before she was downed .
「So you’re out just as we get close to Hesty’s cottage… . 」
Once she entered my garden her facial color had worsened, but she held on until we had nearly reached Hesty’s cottage . There she had collapsed .
「I think it’s better than the first time I tried ssu…… . . 」
Nagini gasped out as she lay face down on the ground .
Dianeia followed up with some lighter words .
「U-umu! This is progress Nagini-dono! You collapsed but you didn’t throw up!」
「That’s right Nagini . Yeah, you didn’t leak either so this is definite progress . 」
I followed up as well but Dianeia blushed and looked at me with some protest so I decided to stop there .
「Okay let’s leave the consolation at that . Hesty could you estimate to what degree she’s gotten stronger?」
I asked Hesty who had just exited her cabin .
I decided to leave the judgment up to her since she should be the most accurate .
Hesty took a short while and considered .
「Let’s see…I’d say, she is stronger than she, was a few days ago… . her magic has improved to the, degree of a, typical adventurer . 」
「I see…… . wait…doesn’t that mean that a typical adventurer will just collapse if they try to approach my house?」
「n? Yes that’s right . This land has, gotten even stronger than it was, at the start . The spirits’ power and the magic power, has gathered and strengthened enough, that normal creatures can’t approach . 」
「Seriously?」
It’s increased that much?
I wondered why I hadn’t been seeing those boars that used to attack lately . That was what happened . I was a little shocked .
「n, at any rate, it’s true she’s stronger, so she should continue as she has been . However, you should probably, focus more on magical, defenses . 」
Hesty said frankly .
「Why improve her magic defenses?」
「n, when a mage first begins training, in earnest there is, a tendency to attach too much importance to attacking . So even if she gets used to, exchanging magic blows, coming to this, magic spot will be harsh…it would be better to have, a more comprehensive, training plan . 」
As expected of Hesty-sensei . Even without knowing the exact training methods she said something insightful .
「Comprehensively? Hm… . . sounds reasonable . 」
It seems that advice would soon be put into practice I thought .
「Hesty and Dianeia if you have time after this we should discuss more in depth Nagini’s training plan . Nagini needs to rest too, so we could do it while she does so . 」
「n, got it . Then, I’ll go grab some magic tools, I think will be useful . 」
「Understood . Creating a joint training plan has plenty of merit to it . Please lend me your aid . 」
And so we began talks about the continued training of Nagini who had grown (a bit) .
