Welcome to the Impregnable Demon King Castle - Chapter 48

It has been three years since I was taught something directly by my master. [M]It was dense, but some people might think it was only three years.

But I think you've been training me ever since I left the village.

As long as I keep my master's teachings, I am his apprentice. [M]

It is said that the force to be used from now on should never be used in normal times.

It's been a year since I started teaching, one day.

Having finished my training that day, I was summoned to my master's room.

The Master looked at me as if I couldn't do it or preach.

The usual smell seems annoying, boring, and not harsh and cold.

Somewhere, it was a warm gaze.

"Reme, you're doing well."

I thought it was a hallucination for a moment.It was impossible for my master to praise me. [M]

Eh, eh

Ignoring my confusion, Master continued. [M]

Honestly, I thought I'd keep it for a few days.But you've endured a year of training. "

"Master...?

Ask again.Why do you want to be a brave man? "

Don't answer Master orally.I'm not hiding anything else.

I had spontaneously told my dream, but since it was the first day my master was interested in me, honestly, I was delighted with surprise.

Brave men are cool.

That's not right.Can you endure this training just because you admire it? "

Certainly, even if you are asked which one is better to go to hell, your master's training is tough enough to make it difficult for you to answer.

It took time to answer.I was eleven at the time, and it was very difficult to put emotions into words. [M]

'Yes, it's true. I wanted to be a cool brave man. "

……

But...

What is it?

"... when I was about six years old, I asked my father to buy me a sword."

Master is listening in silence.

"But because it's dangerous, because I'm still a child," and so on, I couldn't get them to buy it.I'm convinced now, but I wasn't convinced at the time.Why would I say no for a reason when I want it?They still gave up when they told me they didn't have any money. "

Instead of buying it, I was urged to give up by raising the danger of buying it.

The reason is convincing, but the way I said it made me feel uncomfortable.

My father's words were still worrying about me.Parents who give a murder weapon as a child asks are scared and would have made the right decision.

So...

I remember the day I found out about [Job Title].Everyone around me is going to tell me why I can't be a brave man."[Black Mage] is over at this point." "Black magic is useless." "No strength, no agility." "That's why I laugh because my dream is broken."

"... ahh"

The master nodded quietly as if he could imagine the situation.

I thought I might be right.But I remembered the time of the sword.I want to be a brave man, but there are many reasons why I can't.After all, [job title (job)] was bad, but I was delighted to hear how far [job title (job)] was from the brave man. "

Why didn't you give up then?

'Cause I'm not dressed (,,,,,,,,)'

I was surprised that the words came out reflectively. [M]

At the same time, it fell into Stone's heart.

Yeah, that's right. That's what happened.

I gave up buying a sword, but I couldn't give up being a brave man.

He joined his apprentice as a teacher and continued to aim for training that deviated from normal trajectories.

The difference is obvious.

The difference between a young lust and a dream that you have set.

I've always decided to be a brave man since I was a little girl.And you give up because [job title (job)] is different?Isn't that a bad look?I didn't yearn for [job title (job)].Because I yearned for the job of defeating enemies, winning allies, and exciting people to see. "

Now that you've finished your black magic, you can't defeat your enemies with your own hands if you activate it in an undiscovered range.

With me, the party can fight the best.I will become such a black magician. "

Even if I can't be the brave one who fights, I imagined it first.

Slashing with a sword or shooting magic isn't just a battle.Isn't it?

Master didn't deny it.

"It will be a long and hard battle (,,).No one will realize your worth unless you reach a higher level. "

But it's a decision.

I see... I see.

I still doubt the memory around here.

After all, that master stroked my head the next moment.

You are not blessed with special talent.Without dexterity, the body is not strong.He is a mediocre [Black Mage].There is only one weapon that is no less powerful than anyone.Do you understand?

"... I don't know."

At that time, the teacher's voice was as kind as a lie.

You are, Reme.He is a very strong child.Desperate, fooled by a former friend, the desired [position (job)] fell into the hands of his best friend.Still not giving up, he begged the suspicious wizard to teach him.A large adult endured the challenge of fleeing half-time and trained until today.I don't know, Reme.I didn't mean to teach you anything.I was going to get rid of you at first. "

... I've only thought a little bit that maybe.

But you didn't leak a single word of tears to the malicious old man's stroke.Rest assured, your previous training is not bullshit.I was trained to train you. "

I know.

I've never doubted that.Even if they were mean, they're not the right people to make a training menu.If this man had done that, I might have been dead. [M]

He trained me so hard that I wouldn't die and wanted to escape. [M]

"Reme, I officially recognize you as an apprentice."

"Huh!! Ha, yes...!

But it's lemme.I understand your intentions, but the truth is, you want the power to fight. "

Eh

Don't you want power?

My master's voice was so serious that I flew my thoughts and vomited the truth.

I want it. If you have the power to defeat any strong enemy from the front, I want you to do the same. "

Even if you're going to feel more pain than you've ever felt before to get it.

I'll do anything if I can do my best.

That's a good answer. But there's a problem with this power. "

"... is that a problem?"

"The moment I use it, the connection between you and me becomes apparent."

That's... a problem.

If there is a master, there is a way to make me strong. [M]

But he doesn't want to expose himself and his power to the world.

Therefore, we set conditions.You can only use that power when you're fighting someone you absolutely must win. "

"Eh....?

I'm a Pokémon. [M]

After all, it's against the Master's promise.

I'm sure you will keep your agreement with the priest with discipline.I already know that.But if one day a victory emerges that takes precedence over an oath to God - do it yourself. "

Master said:

You can find out about yourself, so use your strength when you really want to win.

I almost cried unconsciously.

I was glad that my master, who did not want to be involved with people, knew that his existence was revealed through me, and allowed me to exercise my power.

"But then, I know you'll be in a very troublesome position.Destroy all cameras and microphones if you want to use them in the dungeon.And threaten the monster after he leaves.What, if you use it, you can see the connection with the pigeon.If it were a monster, it would tremble and follow. "

... something very disturbing has been added.

What do you want, Reme?

I want to be strong.Tell me how.

Thus, the master broke his horn.
