Isekai Shoukan wa Nidome Desu Chapter 4

Translator: Drakuro

The next day the training resumed with Eruka, so I decided to slack on today's training, and went to visit Yuuhi in the different training ground.

When I peeped at the building from the nearby wall, it seems that their training are on a completely different level from our training ground.

Flight magic, cutting wind, fist that could leave a sound.

The four people there are performing various types of attacks.
And the opponent is――――――

"Come on! Narrow down the interval between attacks! This is a party of 4 people! You won’t even leave a scratch on me if you don't synchronize your breath!" (???)

A blonde mild-tempered man wearing the castle's armor. If 10 people look at him, all 10 will agree that he's an Ikemen, it seems that he and Kouma are a good match.

"Heeh, you've changed a lot in these 5 years, Grein." (Setsu)
[T.N: Gu-re-in, I go with Grein as I don't want it to sound like Grain.]

The opponent of the 4 heroes is my ex-attendant, Grein Armony.

〈Sword Master Grein〉is his nickname. Although 5 years ago he had an appearance of an innocent boy, he had become a fine young man now. When I asked Eruka, it seems that he even had a fan club. As expected of Mr Ikemen.

Grein perfectly fends off the attacks of 4 heroes. This really makes his opponent who are monsters with magical power of highest grade admired him.

The wild-Ikemen Jiro is cladding his fist with magic, using taijutsu for close-range battle.

The twin-tail Mizuki has a dagger, having fast attack in close-combat like Jiro.

The cla.s.s's hero Kouma has a shining golden sword, using attack magic from medium range.

Holy Sword huh? As expected of the Hero.

The Holy sword is something like a skill that anyone could use if the have the Hero t.i.tle, and the strength of the sword depends on the heroes.

Kouma's sword is the most common 〈Excalibur type〉sword in the heroes industry(?). The effect is Purification, Light Slash, Physical Reinforcement, also an all-round magic reinforcement. Indeed, it gives the hero-like feeling.
[T.N: Basically, MC is trying to say that the sword is the most cliche holy sword among any hero's story.]

…Since I also have the Hero t.i.tle, I can also use the Holy Sword for the time being.

――――――You may call that a Holy Sword…however.

A roaring sound breaks out from Grein's training ground while I was reminiscing.

In an instant a huge fireball appears in my view, about the size of a 2-story single house.
The one throwing it is my childhood friend Yuuhi.

She's a complete long-range magician type. It is evidence that she has a considerable ability since she can shoot that magic and still doesn’t run out of breath. She has considerably grew up without me knowing.

However even that is still not able to damage Grein.

Tearing up the exploding flame, the figure of the scorching Grein is not there.
That attack could probably even 'cut' the s.p.a.ce, as even those 4 people had a bitter smile when he easily defended against that.

"That attack just now was not bad, it was good. Let's stop here and take a rest slowly for today."

Grein had a smile while he said that.

The 4 people who heard that started to collapse.
It seems that they have been fighting with their full concentration, so although there doesn't seem to be any injury, they're really worn out on the inside.

"As expected Grein-sensei is strong…" (Jiro)

"My dagger didn't even graze him…" (Mizuki)

That's natural, he's not an opponent for you who had just obtained power for one week can do anything about.
…Well this is already out of standard for one week, but Grein is more out of standard than you.

"Yuu, are you okay?" (Kouma)

"Yes, I'm fine! What about Kouma-kun?" (Yuuhi)

“If Yuu is okay, then I'm good too." (Kouma)

The two starts talking as they drink the water that the castle maid brought.
Kouma is glancing at Yuuhi drinking the water. I see, Yuuhi is popular indeed.

Oops, I must mind my own business instead of other people's love affair.

I waited for when Grein is away from those 4――――――and dash with all I got.
"What!? Guooo!?" (Grein)

"Huh? Grein-sensei?" (Jiro)

"Maybe he went to the toilet?" (Mizuki)

I instantly kidnap Grein, carried him on my shoulder and took him to the back of a building which looks like a storehouse at a remote position.

"You're that kid without any ability!! Where did you get that power…what are you planning to do!?" (Grein)

When I unload him at the back of the warehouse, Grein instantly pulls out his sword with cautioned look.
Fumu, interesting.

I beckoned him with my hand.

"――――――Come at me." (Setsu)

"Gu….Uooooh!!" (Grein)

When I let out a little bit of bloodl.u.s.t out, Grein readied her sword while having cold sweat and charged.
When I released the bloodl.u.s.t just now, I just created a situation of 'kill or be killed'. Like this, it's possible for Grein to battle without much hesitation.

This appearance warned him to be careful, as it’s a technique that I thought of to create a situation for him to forcibly take a self-defense measure.
[T.N: Basically, instead of treating MC as a student, he makes him thinks of MC as an opponent that he could not hold back against.]

I dodged the sword slashing down, and observe him calmly.

I significantly raised my hand. It's going to get chopped if I relax.

Well, not like that would happen.

I managed the timing and catch Grein's sword with my bare hand. Of course I've applied it with magic reinforcement.

"Wha-!?" (Grein)
Grein had an astonished look on his face, and I moved my leg.

"I will remind you slowly…..of your fear…" (Setsu)
I have a smile that could only be said as evil if you look from the side,
――――――and I kicked the area between Grein's legs with all my might.

"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!" (Grein)
Once I look at this Ikemen falling down while suppressing his pain, fumu, I managed to see something good. Serves you right.

"Th…this technique….M- 〈Man Killer〉……to use this means…" (Grein)

"Oh! Did you recalled it? This kick of mine." (Setsu)

"C-could it be….S-Setsu-san…" (Grein)

*drops*

"Ooooooiii!? Why are you fainting!?"

I shakes Grain who fainted because of the pain, trying to wake him up. Is my kick really that effective…..

"My b.a.l.l.s?" (Grein)

"It's safe." (Setsu)

"My bad, I'll try not to do that again." (Setsu)

"No, I could only recognize Setsu-san right away thanks to that." (Grein)

This guy faints for a few minutes, after finally waking up, we leaned against the wall of the building and start talking.

"To think that you would appear using the hero summons…" (Grein)

"I'm surprised too. I've been looking for a way to return from the other side…and can't find a clue myself. It really is a coincidence to have been summoned this time. (Setsu)

"Then let’s give out thanks to this coincidence…although we checked the castle for a way to summon Setsu-san again…" (Grein)

"Yeah, I heard about that from Eruka." (Setsu)

"Ooh! So you have already met Eruka." (Grein)

This guy too seems to have desperately tried to bring me back. I'm glad they're so obedient.

"Have you met with Tia?" (Grein)

"Nope, not yet." (Setsu)

"Then please go meet her today. She still continue studying a way to re-summon you." (Grein)

"I see…then I guess I need to tell her properly that I have returned." (Setsu)

"Yes, she will be pleased. Surely!" (Grein)

I see, let’s go there to show my face at the end of the day. At first I planned to do it tomorrow.

"Then shall we go there slowly――――――ah, that's right. I'm probably going to leave this place once of these days." (Setsu)

"Really?" (Grein)

"? You're not surprised." (Setsu)

"Well it's Setsu-san, I thought you might say that." (Grein)

Am I that easy to read?

"I see…well I'm planning to cross the continent and met 'those' guys." (Setsu)

"Ooh! Everyone will be pleased with that! But just that won't be able to stop the war you know?" (Grein)

"I've already heard about that from Eruka…" (Setsu)

Since it's simple――――――I said that to Grein.

"Well, whatever. I'll get going then, I'm glad to meet you again Grein." (Setsu)

"Me too…you have finally returned back. I'm really glad, Setsu-san." (Grein)

"Ou, later then. Ah, is it alright for me to ask you to take care of Yuuhi?" (Setsu)

"? Yuuhi-san?" (Grein)

"Yeah. she's my childhood friend from the other side. Please use your position to favor her, as I'm going to punish you with 〈Man Killer〉again if there's anything that happens to her okay?" (Setsu)

"!…….I will keep that in mind." (Grein)

I ask him again for confirmation, and parts with Grein.
Reunion after a long time is good as expected. It feels like my suppressed personality up until now can finally be unleashed.

Finally the last one, as I’m going to meet with Tia, I decided to return to the castle.

[T.N: POV change to Grein]

I, Grein Armony managed to meet him again after 5 years, and I was overjoyed for that. As I decided to follow him before, I'm certain that a huge hole appeared in my heart when Setsu-san disappeared.

With the hole buried, I returned back to my lodgings in high spirits after a long time.

On the way back, the heroes that I've been training, Jiro-kun, Mizuki-san, and Kouma-kun rushed up to me from the other side.
“Where have you been Sensei!?" (Jiro)

"We've been looking for you everywhere!" (Mizuki)

Jiro-kun and Mizuki-san said that.
I remembered that I had disappeared suddenly, so I apologize properly.

"Sorry, a friend visited me suddenly and I had to entertain him." (Grein)
Although 'friend' is not really the right term, I think that kind of relation is not bad.

"So what are you here for?" (Grein)

"I want you to train is a bit more, can you spend your time a bit?" (Kouma)

Kouma-kun had a serious eyes when he said that.
Although I made the afternoon as a rest because today's training is packed with actual combat, it might have not been unsatisfactory for them given this situation.

"I don't mind――――――There should be 4. Where's Yuuhi-san? (Grein)
Once I approved it, I noticed that Yuuhi-san that Setsu-san ask to look after is not here.

"Ah, it seems that Yuu went back to the castle." (Jiro)
Since Jiro-kun had said that, I was relieved.
"I see――――――then, shall we start our training?" (Grein)
To grant their request, we visit the training ground once again.

――――――I still have a slight pain between my legs.

[T.N: POV turns back to MC.]

"Oi Gloomy Yuki, where have you been today?" (Endo)

When I returned to the castle, I got caught by the troublesome fool.
I really don't have the time for this.
When I desperately hold myself from sighing, Endo joined shoulders with me in an overly familiar manner as usual.

"You don't think that you're going to have a sweet time today right? You should never have that att.i.tude, so shall we be more strict today?" (Endo)

Endo is grinning along….along with his followers.
[T.N: He's saying he really can't remember the name of the others]

Yeah yeah good job good job――――――When I desperately endure from sighing,

"Wait a minute Endo-kun!!" (???)

A voice sounded causing us to freeze.

When I turn my face towards the source of that voice, Hanabashira Yuuhi is there. While muttering that she finally found me, she starts walking towards us.

"Ha-Hanabashira-san!? W-what business do you want from me?" (Endo)

While Endo is confused meeting with Yuuhi's pretty face, her face hang down sloppily, and reply in an unpleasant voice.

"Ah, no. I have business with Yuki-kun. Therefore can you lend Yuki-kun for a while?" (Yuuhi)

"Ah…yes." (Endo)

Endo got shot with a single stroke… it was indeed pitiful.

"Thank you! Then Yuki-kun can you follow me?" (Yuuhi)

"Yeah…." (Setsu)

Yuuhi s.n.a.t.c.hed me from Endo, and start leading my hand leaving them. When I look back, Endo and co had the eyes full of hatred. It's amazing for human to be able to make such eyes.

After taking enough distance from them, Yuuhi separates her hand from me, and suddenly jumped into my chest.

"Yahhou! Finally Yuki-kun after a long time!" (Yuuhi)

"O-oi." (Setsu)

Yuuhi hugs me tightly. Her huge chest hits mine, changing it's form. Uwah, this is bad.
As expected some problem might 'arise' if I didn't separate.

"Wai- get away from me for a bit…" (Setsu)

“Haaah~ Finally Yuki-kun after a long time~" (Yuuhi)

I got weakened for a bit and she starts putting all her weight on me! H-her chest are..!

"I'm worried you know? They said Yuki-kun had no magic power…how did it become like that?" (Yuuhi)

"Well…I managed somehow." (Setsu)

"….I guess so, you seems to be fine and energetic…" (Yuuhi)

…It seems that I've made her worry. I'm slightly sorry for that.
"That's right Yuki-kun! Do you want to go to town together when we get our time off?" (Yuuhi)

"Town?" (Setsu)

Speaking of town, there's one downtown of Destinea. It's considerably wide, you won't get bored at there are many interesting things.
It seems that Yuuhi visit me today for an invitation.

"How about it?" (Yuuhi)

"Yeah, I guess it's fine." (Setsu)

She came all the way here to invite me, so spending one holiday for Yuuhi is cheap.

"Really!? Absolutely okay!?" (Yuuhi)

"I got it I got it." (Setsu)

"Yay~!" (Yuuhi)

Yuuhi parts with me while doing a banzai. I'm not regretting it even for a moment since the warmth is gone okay? It's the truth okay?

We have a bit of a small talk after that, reporting our current condition to each other.
Yuuhi's training seems to be hard after all when i heard from her, as Grein's training is efficient but only for the strong-minded….

We decided to look for the right time afterwards and separated, as I have some business to do after all.

"I'm glad we got to meet today! I managed to recharged my Yuki-kun Energy!" (Yuuhi)

What the heck is Yuki-kun Energy.
[T.N: Just imagine Musukonium]

"It’s absolutely okay to rely on me when you're in trouble! Don't break the promise of us going out!" (Yuuhi)

"Okay okay, I know already." (Setsu)
‘See you later~!’ She runs off after saying that.

…Now then, I will not be able to leave this country until i went around town with Yuuhi….

This is bad right?

"……….."

I noticed it at that time.

While hiding in the shadow, Endo is staring at me with eyes full of grudge.
