We’re no longer fighting purely for show, and what’s going to start from now on is a real fight, lasting until we run out of stamina or fall in battle.
Rodwell will go all out so it’s going to be difficult to avoid unlike his earlier magic. And for that reason, I spent the precious magic stone to change the topography of the arena but… he didn’t falter.
Perhaps, he has magic that will not be nullified by the new terrain or possibly it won’t make a difference because he has some other trump cards. I must not be careless.
Anyhow, this terrain is just what I expected from a magic stone that worth almost ten gold coins. Though it showed the expected effect, the stone cost more than what I expect. I’m worried about our living expenses for the next little while. If I so much as mention the possibility of reducing the volume of the side dishs, the disciples would definitely work hard to earn income. It’s alright because I’m not planning to do such a thing despite their motivation since I don’t want to pour cold water on them.
Well, even if the disciples are not troubled with money, they have wholly entrusted their income to me. Although I never said it, they’re voluntarily doing it for some reason. Thanks to that, managing the family budget, giving pocket money to the disciples and managing money become a bit troublesome.
…And, I invoked [Boost] while still thinking about these unrelated things and start running. Unfortunately, Rodwell was now aware that the effectiveness of [Multi Elemental] barrages were light, so instead he changed to the tactic of holding my feet by making mud wall through [Create].
