Fitts-senpai came flying over the onlookers.
And then with an amazing speed he came running here.
Those are some unreasonably fast legs.
Probably, three times faster than me.
But, he isn't red and doesn't have horns or anything? [4]
"Ha..ha..Sorry, Rude...Rudeus-kun. The teachers got in my way."
Fitts-senpai was breathing roughly while carrying the staff.
"Se..senpai your legs are fast aren't they."
"Eh?? Ha..shoes, are a magic item bestowed with magic power after all.."
After hearing that I look at the boots senpai always wears.
Is that so, they were a magic item bestowed with magic power was it.
It could be that the mantle he's always wearing is a magic item as well.
This person, he never takes off the mantle even when it seems hot out after all.
"Could it be those sunglasses as well?"
"Ha..ha...these as well..yea..no... that is, a secret so.."
Fitts-senpai laughed with a bit of an Eh~
I wonder why this person's laughing face is this cute.
I'm feeling my heart pound.
"Fu...Yes, Rudeus-kun, give it your best.. but don't overdo it. If you don't think you can win, even if you say sorry and run away, it's an opponent where no one will say anything. Don't worry about some kind of strange pride, at least your life, right?"
I received the Aqua HartiaArrogant Water Dragon King from Fitts-senpai.
It's been quite a while since I last seriously fought while holding this guy.
Let's give it our best, partner Charlene.
As a present for the other world I'll tell you.
That after we return we'll get married and have some Pineapple Salad. [5]
I removed the cloth wrapping my Aqua HartiaArrogant Water Dragon King.
I understood that Fitts-senpai held his breath.
Some feelings of playing a bit of a prank sprouted.
"..Fitts-senpai, look at the magic stone at the end of this, what do you think of this?"
"Am..amazing, big??"
"!"
Somehow, just now a bit, I felt a bit of a shock around the back of my hips.
I wonder what that was.
No, let's stop with the jokes here.
Badigadi was standing up and rotating his shoulders.
I wonder if I've managed to stall for some time.
Wouldn't it be impossible to hold him off with conversation until the military force gathers?
Fitts-senpai reluctantly returned.
It would have been fine for you to stay here and back me up though.
Rather, how about saving me...
"Are you ready?"
"If possible I would prefer to just keep talking while laughing like this."
"Fuhahahahaha! We can do that again later!"
Does that mean he doesn't intend to take my life?
No, he's a person with a kind of vague feeling to him.
He might think I'll be fine since my aggregate magic power is large and just happen to kill me like that.
It might have been better to get a few more words in just now.
That I'd like to go with an exchange that spares my life.
Badigadi stood loosely with his hands at his hips.
It seems he doesn't intend to commence attack.
I wonder if he's waiting for some kind of signal.
For the time being I'll open my foresight eye.
"..Huh?"
I couldn't see anything with my foresight.
In the place where Badigadi was standing, nothing was standing there.
"What are you making a surprised face about...? Oh, I see. You immediately started using the Demon Eye you got from Kishirika. However, that's unfortunate. Demon eyes don't work on me."
He carelessly said it and Badigadi snorted with a Hmphm.
Seriously.
Demon eyes don't work huh.
As expected of a Demon King.
However, if this is the case then it's bad.
The probability that I won't be able to barely avoid a fatal wound is increasing.
My physical ability isn't all that high.
The chance that I might get hit in a bad place increased.
"Demon King-sama."
"Badi is fine. I asked you to laugh and those who honestly laugh are permitted to call me by that name."
"Badi-sama. I'd like to make one suggestion."
"What is it?"
"Even if I were to lose, somehow please at least leave me my life."
After saying that, Badigadi broke out into laughter.
"Fuhahahahaha! Pleading for one's life before you even start! What an interesting guy!"
"Life is meant to be treated preciously."
"Humu, that is true. The human race quickly dies after all! I hear there are many who think as such!"
Badigadi continued to laugh.
"However, even while you possess such a tremendous amount of magic power, it seems you don't have any confidence in your power!"
"Since two years prior a person named something like the Dragon God just had me on the verge of death after all."
After saying that, Badigadi's laughing voice instantly stopped.
"By Dragon God, you mean Dragon God Orsted? After fighting that guy, you survived?"
"I was on the verge of death. If he hadn't left me alive on some sort of whim, I would be a ghost right now."
Badigadi's face became serious.
This is bad.
Since Hitogami's name was alright I felt a bit relieved.
It seems Orsted's name was no good either.
"Did you manage to leave even a bit of wound on that Dragon God during the fight?"
"Eh? Yeah, though it was just to the degree of some skin peeling off on the back of the hand."
"...."
