My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 9. Bewitching a pig (6)

I was fascinated. Admired

Forgetting to fight with the warriors present, Ella was looking at the place where the shock wave came from.

“That…… Prause’s power…….”

Ella muttered involuntarily.

This place, which was a forest a while ago, could no longer be called a forest.

As if even the demonic energy was completely blown away, the dark purple aura was lifted, and the bright full moonlight was beating down on the ground.

‘How long have you really seen it? Such a nice night sky.’

She looked up at the sky vaguely and moved her steps as if possessed.

And where Ella stopped, Prause was resting, brushing her wet bangs behind her.

Ariel was sitting next to him, and she was looking at him somehow sullenly.

“Are you going to pay for all of this?”

“I don’t have any friends because I insist on every single thing like that.”

“What?!”

“If we are friends, isn’t it okay to help each other a little?”

“… Hmmm! Well, there’s nothing I won’t listen to when I say that! hehehe!”

Prause listened to Ariel’s excited snort and shook her head. He thought inwardly that he was a very easy-to-understand spirit king.

“Mrs. Prause.”

Ella cautiously approached Prause. Prause, who found Ella, raised her hand with the same expressionless expression as always.

In my opinion, it was a welcoming gesture in its own way.

“Ah, Ella. Have you dealt with all those monsters?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’m a little tired, so be careful around this side. Other warriors will come soon.”

The same attitude as usual.

Seeing her nonchalant appearance that nothing had happened even though she had fought a fierce battle a moment ago, Ella tried to make her emotions rise.

“…… How, how did you deal with the black dragon?”

Ella asked, trying to calm her trembling voice.

Prause couldn’t say that he had borrowed the power of the artifact, so he opened his mouth thinking of an appropriate excuse.

“Well.”

“… You don’t want to tell me?”

“You know what it means? As a result, I defeated the black dragon. Isn’t it enough to know that?”

“That’s enough, but… ….”

Ella pursed her lips.

She turned her head to where the black dragon had been.

From noble mtl dot com

In a place where everything except the soil had been destroyed, it seemed that the softly rising magic power showed Prause’s strength.

‘I couldn’t even counter the black dragon’s breath, how did you kill the black dragon?’

I wanted to ask that.

It was definitely nice that he had someone he could rely on, but on the one hand, he felt skeptical about what he had done so far.

It was because she felt a vast gap while watching Prause who defeated the black dragon so easily.

That’s how Ella was when she was unknowingly being eaten up by her inferiority complex.

“Just because I killed the black dragon doesn’t mean that what you did is gone. Ella.”

“Yes?”

Ella raised her head at his words and answered dumbly.

“Just because you can’t kill the black dragon doesn’t mean your value will decrease, and it won’t make you no longer a member of the Todia family.”

“What… ….”

“It means that they are doing well enough even now.”

How much is it really? To hear that you did well.

She was born into the Todia family and became an S-class adventurer. She lived a life that others would envy, but she hadn’t heard a single word for years.

Because it’s S-class. Because it’s the Todia family.

Because of her status and position, she was only talked about as she should, and to her, there could be no sweeter words than to say, ‘Well done.’

“Thank you… …. Prause.”

“I just told the truth.”

“When I talk with Prause, for some reason I feel like I understand everything.”

“I see.”

Actually, Prause said it intentionally to boost her self-esteem.

He knew that as Ella grew sick, her self-esteem hit rock bottom at the cold reaction of those around her.

Others didn’t notice because it wasn’t revealed, but Prause, who remembered the game’s settings, could tell by looking at her reaction a little bit.

Ella took a strong step in front of Praus.

She looks up at him. With a slightly anxious but excited expression.

“As expected, I like Prause. Do you have any intention of dating me on the premise of marriage?”

Ella said she was more serious than ever.

The look in his eyes was different from when he talked about their engagement in a joking way.

The subtle trembling felt in her voice was enough to feel Ella’s sincerity.

But Prause never thought of her as her ‘her opposite’.

“Okay. I have no intention of dating anyone right now.”

Still, she wasn’t ruthless towards people who bumped into her with all her heart, so she had no choice but to blurt out her words.

“But I…… I will not give up.”

“…… Either that or not.”

When Prause reluctantly answered, Ella smiled.

Ariel, who was listening to the story next to her, looked at me and Ella, then turned her head the other way.

‘Loneliness’ was present on her face right before she turned.

Meanwhile, the warriors also dealt with all the monsters around them and moved to the site where the black dragon was.

Around the time when everyone was fascinated by the completely annihilated view, Tina was the first to open her mouth.

“Iris, Maria. Will there ever come a day when we can defeat our master?”

Tina thought in her mind that in two years she would be able to catch up with Prause, and in two years she would formally challenge her to a duel.

When she was attached a year ago, she thought two years would be enough, recalling that she had driven Prause by the edge.

However, when she saw the scene in front of her eyes, Prause seemed to be stronger than before, and for the first time she felt an inferiority complex.

“It will never come. Master is a person who becomes stronger even without doing anything.”

The Prause that Iris saw was always devoted to them.

When they were training, she knew that she had done simple and troublesome tasks such as organizing furniture and preparing meals by herself.

Of course, she also saw him lightly jogging or strength training every morning.

But that was all.

She had neither studied nor trained powerful skills, so her strength with which he subdued the black dragon could not be explained at all.

“Yes. I knew him from the start, but he’s someone I can only describe as amazing.”

Maria gave her candid impressions.

“So…… I’m sorry too.”

Ever since Maria opened her heart to Prause, she wanted to stand side by side with him.

She wished she could rely on herself anytime she had an affair.

But he kept moving forward whenever she tried to keep up with her skills all the time.

If it’s swordsmanship, swordsmanship. Magic is magic.

She had no choice but to leave a sense of regret every time she saw Prause who was not lagging behind either side.

And today, she realizes the difference in her skills once again, and she still feels depressed that she is no help to him.

Prause, who did not understand the hearts of the warriors, opened his mouth as soon as he saw them.

“Are you going to play with all the monsters around you?”

* * *

What is it, guys? Why are you so depressed

I was particularly concerned that Tina kept her mouth shut, unlike usual.

Everyone answers the question of whether they have dealt with the monsters around them, but their voices have no energy.

“Are you hurt?”

“No. Just… ….”

“I don’t know what’s going on, but if you have any problems, tell me right away. And I’ll go right away after resting for a bit, so don’t be too nervous and stay.”

“Okay.”

After listening to Iris’ answer, I look at Tina.

Compared to Iris, Tina’s appearance was nonsense.

The whole body was covered in blood. If it hardened in that state, it could be difficult to bathe or wash clothes.

“Maria.”

“Yes.”

“Go to an invisible place over there and wash Tina. It would be embarrassing to stay that way.”

“Okay.”

“Follow Iris too. There might be monsters around, so be on your guard while Tina is washing up.”

“Okay.”

It was time to let go of all the warriors and relax.

“What is it? Why are you here?”

At the sudden voice of a man, I quickly raised my hand over my vengeance. As she was about to pull it out, her hand loosened as soon as she saw the person in front of her.

“…… Incuro?”

A blond man with his tanned skin was looking at me with his greatsword resting on his shoulder.

Looking at Incuro, I belatedly remembered that Ella wasn’t the only S-class guarding the western front.

“Huh… I never thought I would see her f*cking face outside the castle walls.”

Inkuro’s face is distorted. Wrinkles form between the eyebrows and the eyebrows gather.

“You must have looked in the mirror.”

“I’m talking about you. You bastard!”

Inkuro points at me with a Zweihender and shouts.

“Noisy.”

Has this guy forgotten that this is the Demon Realm?

Since you are here, are you advertising to come and eat?

Anyway, this is a problem for kids who run amok by themselves.

…… Hmm. Isn’t that what I’m talking about?

“Inkuro, don’t be mean. Dear Prause.”

Ella, who was next to her, bruises Incuro.

“Look at the nobles and the nobles. I have something to see about him.”

‘I don’t have anything else to do.’

“I don’t have anything to say to a guy who smells like sweat like you?”

I thought this was a bit too much even though I was at odds with Incuro. It’s as much as an ant’s butthole, but I’m sorry.

“I really felt it before… …. Are you really talking sh*t?”

“Only you.”

As soon as I didn’t say a word, Incuro gnashed his teeth.

“Whoa… …. Every single word is a very f*cked up bastard. All right, all right. What are you talking about with a bastard like you?”

He reaps the sword. Zweihender climbed onto his shoulder again.

“Hey, nobleman. Explain why this bastard is here.”

“I don’t like it, it’s garbage.”

“Wow…… You really have no jokes. They are a very good couple.”

Incuro shook his head violently and made a sarcastic remark. In response, Ella blushed and hummed shyly in a whisper.

“Is that so?”

“What is this?”

Kuro looked at me and Ella alternately. It was a spectacle to laugh.

“…… Huh, no way they said they like strong people. Was it this parasitic brother-in-law?”

“I’m sure you wouldn’t be the one to ignore? You’ve already been hit by Prause.”

“Damn it. I only competed with one sum.”

“But it’s true that you lost on that one shot.”

“Even if Rexton’s bastards hadn’t intervened…… !”

Remembering that time, I grind my teeth. Then Ella covered her mouth and laughed.

“It’s ugly. Incuro.”

“Like this dog… …. But who is the woman next to him?”

Seeing Ariel sitting leaning against a tree, Incuro asked. Guess who isn’t a slut? Whew.

“Mr. Ariel…… But It’s an elven wizard. He is the one who helped Prause-nim subjugate the Black Dragon.”

Ella already knew that Ariel was the Spirit King through the Secret Garden. However, it seems that she lied in moderation so as not to complicate the situation.

“What? You subdued the black dragon? Come to think of it, this is the Cartrod mine area.”

Only then did Incuro see everything disappear and she looked at the vast land but her remaining space.

“What… …. Is it real?”

Inkuro looks at me in disbelief. She was startled, her eyes twitching.

“Then is it a lie? Prause came all the way here to deal with the black dragon.”

“I couldn’t believe it… …. Was it like this?”

The gaze directed at me was filled with displeasure, but with a hint of admiration.

He hesitates and takes a step away.

It was unintentional, but it seemed that he gave him a second defeat without even touching him, who had already tasted a deep defeat.

Just as she was daringly still, Ariel jumped up from her seat and turned her head toward her forest.

“Prause, demons with considerable demonic energy are coming this way.”

“What?”

The demons came all the way to the outskirts?

Ariel turned her body in the direction she was looking.

Basrak. Bassrock.

I hear the sound of brushing through the forest.

I see something approaching this way. Under the tree where the moonlight did not come in properly, it was not easy to distinguish objects.

If Maria were there, she would ask her to use light magic.

As the distance from us gradually decreases, the silhouette becomes clearer. I knew at once who the opponent was just by looking at the silhouette.

Why are you here…….

“Stella Forna… ….”

It was the daughter of the Countess of the Aium Kingdom that I could not find.

“…… What is your shame?”

Stella, who appeared under the moonlight, shaking her frizzy blonde hair, asked an incomprehensible question. And it was Incuro who answered it.

“What do you mean?”

At that moment, Stella, who quickly closed the distance, reached out to Incuro’s face.

However, her hand never touched Incuro. Rather, it was because Incuro took Stella’s wrist.

“I couldn’t see well because it was dark… …. I can see you now.”

“…… What are you-“

“Cheuk, ah… I see you here.”

Inkuro’s mouth drew an arc.

“You… Are you alive?”

Greed began to form in his eyes.
