The Hero Party’s Moms Are Obsessed With Me

Early morning.

As usual, I woke up and faced Eli and the sword.

Clang!

Clack!

“Excellent! My lord!”

Eli has grown to the point where she can praise me like that.

In just two days.

Can I really move like this on my own? My swordsmanship has grown surprisingly fast.

It’s like the blocked toilet hole from the past few years suddenly bursts open and flushes down.

“Who knew swinging a sword would be this fun!”

Unable to hide her excitement, Eli suddenly hid her appearance.

In an instant, she disappeared from my sight, and when she reappeared…

Whack!

“Ow!!”

She forcefully struck the side of my head with her sword.

As I retreated a step backward with a silent scream, Eli lowered her sword.

“It’s good to be happy, but if you get too excited in battle, you can lose your life.”

I was indeed too excited.

As I gently stroked my throbbing head, I nodded, and my excellent instructor put her sword back on her hip.

“We’ll stop here for today. Go wash up and head to the forest.”

The Alphrame Forest.

Although it had only been a day, it felt like years have passed.

As I prepared for the upcoming battle, Eli cleared her throat and opened her mouth.

“Master. Today, please engage in combat using only pure swordsmanship and refrain from using your abilities. You may use elemental magic.”

“…?”

“As a wise master, you surely know how great your abilities are.”

Hmm. They are indeed great.

You even opened the heart of the Tower Lord, didn’t you?

“But if you rely too much on those abilities, you won’t be able to grow evenly.

Up until now, your swordsmanship has been a mess… cough! Your sword skills have been lacking, but now, isn’t it different?”

You just called my swordsmanship a mess!

And you even said it’s lacking?!

It hurt my feelings and felt unfair, but Ellie’s words were not wrong.

I knew it too.

Eventually, a wall is bound to block a one-tool.

Those real crazy one-toolers.

Although in games, those one-champions survive and endure in such adverse conditions and reach the top rank.

But this is not a game, it’s reality.

It’s best to handle all available means.

“Then today… Sylph, please. I’m counting on you.”

“Yes! Leave it to me!”

Instead of immature swordsmanship which is explosively growing.

I decided to analyze the new power, Sylph.

An Elemental Mage.

Such a scarce existence with little widely spread information.

When an Elemental Mage is born, the senior Elemental Mages mark them with a 1:1 match in their own league.

However.

“Hey, kid.”

“Why? Grandma?”

Pout!

“… Azoom-mur hurg…?”

“Yeah, um… Granny…”

“Ha! This is kind of unpleasant, isn’t it? Well, forget it. Put on the Cloak of the Wind from Diam.”

Note: Some names and terms have been romanized for the sake of maintaining the atmosphere of the excerpt.

“What is the Cloak of Wind?”

“Sigh… Hey, Wind.”

“Why are you like this?”

“I told you to train me. Wasn’t my request clear? Do you want to die?”

“Oh, starting from today, I will.”

“Get lost. Can’t you show me a demonstration quickly?”

“… Is it that day? You’re unusually moody today. No, maybe you’re just old and going through menopause.”

“Wind?”

“Cloak of Wind!!!”

As the great spirit Wind muttered, a translucent light green energy started floating around Lageta’s body.

“This is the Cloak of Wind. It’s an intermediate-level elemental magic that has different effects depending on the attribute. In the case of wind, it enhances the overall physical abilities of the contractor. See that? Try it.”

“Um… Like this?”

Despite Lageta’s command, Sylph tried to move his small hands around but the magic didn’t manifest.

“Sigh… Wind. If you can’t use it in 10 minutes, you’ll die.”

“Oh, no! Come here! Quickly!”

“Huh? Why? I prefer staying by Dyam’s side.”

“Are you saying you won’t listen to me?! Come here immediately!”

“Hyeee… I’ll be back, Dyam.”

No matter how much I liked it, I couldn’t ignore the words of the great spirit, so Sylph flew towards Wind, whimpering.

And after 9 minutes.

“Cloak of Wind!”

Along with the adorable light spirit, the green magic unfolded around my body.

“Hehe! I did it! I did well, right, Dyam?”

“Uh, yeah… Sylph is amazing~”

Elementalist.

A rare existence with scarce and widespread knowledge.

When an Elementalist is born, the senior Elementalists mark them in a 1:1 league of their own.

But.

“Heugh… heugh… Not… 10 minutes… yet…”

“Yeah. Teach me all the advanced magic that Sylph can use until tomorrow.”

[…]

There was no hidden information in front of the Lord of the Great Tower and the Great Spirit.

“The spirit magic is truly amazing.”

The [Cape of the Wind], which enhances overall physical abilities, seemed to enhance visual and auditory abilities as well, allowing me to see distances that I couldn’t see before.

I could even perceive the faint sounds that I wouldn’t have normally heard.

Crack!

“Sylph! Over there!”

[Wind Cutter!]

I was able to catch the goblin before it even realized my presence, despite having to loosen my bladder and my grip on it.

But… wouldn’t it be more efficient to use auto-hunting?

“Sylph. You know, we caught a goblin earlier, right?”

[Yes!]

“I see… Then, how about trying to catch only five goblins around here?”

[Yes! Just wait a moment!]

Sylph, who responded cutely, flapped its small wings and flew into the forest.

Elly, as if feeling curious about Sylph’s absence, tilted her head and came closer to me before she even finished speaking.

“My Lord? Where did Sylph go?”

Before her words could finish.

[Di~am! I’m here~!]

A cute voice rang in my ears.

And then.

Thump. Thud.

Thunk!

Five goblin corpses with severed heads fell from the sky.

“Ah!! T, the corpses fell from the sky!!”

When Olivia saw the shocking goblin corpses, she was petrified.

In that moment she saw the goblin corpses with green blood dripping from their severed necks, she realized.

“I should train in swordsmanship…”

After asking Sylph to only provide support in emergencies, I drew my sword and stepped forward.

Just a few days ago, I hated rolling around.

“I thought it would be great to automate hunting with Selphie!”

But the moment I saw the difference between Selphie and my skills, my thoughts changed.

“The difference is too big even though I worked hard!”

I could just rely on that power and live comfortably.

But this power is something I obtained accidentally.

I didn’t know when it would disappear, so I had to improve my inherent power as well.

“Sigh… I must be destined to be a forever struggler.”

With a sigh, I picked up my sword and shield and walked through the forest.

Crunch. Crunch.

As the sound of stepping on grass became familiar.

Crunch!

A strange footstep was heard.

Reacting to the sound, I raised my sword and shield and looked behind me.

Olivia, waving her hand with a smile as if telling me to do well.

Elli, holding her fist as if telling me to fight and smiling.

Lagetta, always smiling at me.

“Wait until I speak.”

[Aww… I don’t like seeing Damian struggling…]

“When we go back, I’ll pat your head.”

[Woof!]

Selphie, who had fallen next to me in the midst of the cute negotiation.

Leaving everyone behind, I approached the source of the sound.

I wanted to silence the sound, but since it was a grassy field all around, I could hear the unwanted sound of crunching.

“Tsk. They heard us from over there too.”

As if the enemies had recognized my presence just like I recognized theirs, the sound of footsteps suddenly disappeared.

From here on, it’s a game of cat and mouse.

I could move first to narrow the distance, but that would reveal my position.

I waited for the other party to move, so I could identify their position and counterattack.

“What should I do?”

Turning my head this way and that, I had a good idea and inserted my hand into my pocket, taking out a large cloth.

The Devil’s Snare that I used, but Rageta cleaned up nicely and gave me the magical tool.

‘Concealment Magic Tool~’

If there were a blue raccoon robot, wouldn’t it have shouted like me? I covered myself with a cloth.

When I absentmindedly touched the magical tool, I wondered if it was properly applied.

“Elli! The child has disappeared!”

“Oh, it seems like you used the magical tool.”

Judging by their reactions, the effect was definite.

People really do rely on equipment~ I slowly approached, preparing for a surprise attack.

Whoosh!

A thick spear flew towards me at an incredible speed.

‘Swish!’

I shielded myself in shock, and behind it was a goblin three times my size.

A three-meter tall green muscular pig orc precisely hurled a punch at me.

I managed to block his explosive punch with the shield.

Thunk!

Although I couldn’t completely deflect the impact of the spear, I couldn’t avoid rolling on the ground due to the blocked attack.

In the dizzying moment of swaying, I gathered my senses as much as possible and stood up.

And then.

“Oh, for real! Nerf these monsters in this world!!”

As if waiting, I barely avoided the orc’s attack as he swung his leg towards me.

Numb arms from the impact.

Tattered clothes as I rolled on the ground.

Frustrated, I grabbed the cloth that hindered my movement and threw it on the ground.

“Damn it! Can’t you see this?!”

I wonder if these powerful monsters in this world are invisible enemies.

I’m not sure if the two people lied to me while cheering me on with my actions.

“You’re done, you pig bastard.”

First, let’s deal with the disgustingly breathing muscular pig that slams the ground there.

The orc, who had been engaged in a short stare-down with me, bent his legs and with a thud, slammed the ground.

Once again, I feel the pressure from that guy.

Quang!!

A loud noise and a shock felt in my arms.

“Ah, shucks.”

Instinctively, I almost let loose the guy’s bladder as my body moved forward with a shield held up.

The guy was 3 meters tall.

While I was only about 150.

Because the difference was close to double, when I pushed forward, the guy who had gotten close could only bend his waist forward.

Suddenly, as I approached, he seemed to panic and tried to jump back.

“Too late!”

Using my recently developed swordsmanship, I thrust my sword forward.

Puhok!

I was able to create a fairly deep hole in the guy’s thigh.

Did my heart loosen because the attack was successful?

Or was it because the green blood, like a fountain, splashed onto my face and momentarily distracted my gaze?

I couldn’t react to the guy’s attack that hit my side.

“Tsk! I’ve heard this sound before!”

I pulled out the sword stuck in his thigh and swung my body around.

Seogeok!

I made a long wound on the guy’s wrist.

– Gruuurk!

The guy retreated backward, screaming as if in pain.

When the guy gasped for breath, I brushed past the spot where I had been hit earlier.

No matter how much my stamina was enhanced by ten times.

Or even if stamina regeneration was enhanced by ten times.

There was no way I wouldn’t feel any pain after being hit by such a rock-like fist.

Thinking that, I looked at my side.

“The more I see, the more magic seems like a scam, huh?”

The [Curtain of Wind] that Sylph had bestowed upon me just now seems to have blocked the orc’s attack.

Furthermore, the tent remained unscathed despite the attack. With a sly smile, she tightened her grip on the sword.

“I need to do well. So that Silph doesn’t leave me!”

She leaped towards the orc, who was tending to his wounds with his opposite hand.
