Chapter 104: No Serious Movement
“Hey, what about great grandpa Roberto’s strength? It’s insane, right?”
“It’s not just insane… I mean, how should I put it, Philip?”
“…Isn’t it like fighting against a moving mineral that can’t be scratched?”
“Thick, really thick… Even the words ‘overwhelming difference’ felt lukewarm to me.”
Until the very end, they didn’t give up until their strength and magic were exhausted, challenging a man who could be called a demigod… There’s no doubt that he had extraordinary mental strength and perseverance.
Still, when you look back… Is he really a human? That’s the only kind of impression that comes to mind.
“I understand why Ishud calls him a demigod.”

“Exactly, president senpai. I also want to become strong enough to have a good match with Roberto grandpa before he dies of old age.”
Roberto has entered a realm where even geniuses, prodigies, monsters, and superhumans dare not tread, yet he is purely of the human race by his species.
Therefore, no matter how healthy he lives, there are limits.
Even if he reaches an age considered long-lived due to adjustments from levels and occupations, there’s nothing he can do about the remaining lifespan decreasing.
(… It’s not so easy to say that Ishud can do it, huh?)
They saw Ishud fighting seriously.
It was different from when he played with them during the fierce battle festival… This was genuine seriousness.
However, even Ishud’s all-out strike only managed to inflict just a slight wound.
“For me, I… feel relieved that he doesn’t hold a grudge against the royal family, and such.”
“Oh, I see. Is it like, preventing an uprising, or worrying about rebellion?”
“If we don’t mince words, that’s what it comes down to.”
Ad
He’s aware he’s being impertinent.
However, Dustin understood that there was no need to hide words from Ishud.
“It’s all good, seriously. Dealing with some rebellion or whatever would just be a pain for future governance, right?”
“Hehehe, that’s true.”
Although it hadn’t been for a long time, Dustin had come to understand the will behind the actions of the Regula family members through their interactions.
(While they don’t seem to scoff at the power of authority, they’re mostly uninterested in it, focusing solely on individual strength.)
Feeling relieved… would be lame.
It wouldn’t be unreasonable to think so, but as a nobleman, civil war was the last thing to be desired.
It was probably understood that it wouldn’t happen.
Not only Dustin, but also Philip and others felt relieved, which was not unwarranted.

“Well then… It seems like a good time, so I’ll take a shower… Oh, maybe not.”
“Sorry, Ishud. Seriously, I’m kinda… having a hard time moving… If I start washing up, I might just fall asleep right then and there.”
Even after the training session the other day, Philip was confident that he would fall asleep as soon as he got into the bath.
Today, they had repeated matches using weapons that weren’t their main ones until well into the afternoon… But the match with Roberto? It was unlike him to exhaust himself completely like that.
As a result, his fatigue was more pronounced than the other day, and he continued to feel the intense muscle soreness.
“Haha… Yeah, that’s true. Honestly, my whole body is sore… Is everyone else feeling the same as me?”
“Embarrassingly, yes.”
“I’m sorry, but I’ll probably fall asleep if I take a bath now…”
“Okay, okay. Then maybe we’ll have dinner here tonight. Just wait here, I’ll go talk to the chefs.”
As he mentioned himself, despite the lingering pain in his body, he could still walk.
Ishud dragged his body along and headed to the kitchen.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. I’ll bring them over right away.”
Eventually, Ishud encountered Medi on his way to the kitchen, and after explaining the situation, Medi carried Ishud in a dash to the special training grounds. Then, in another dash, headed back to the kitchen, where Medi informed the chefs that Ishud and the others would be dining at the special training grounds.
“Mmm, delicious… Food really is unbeatable, huh?”
“Philip’s right about that.”
Though their eating manners were a bit awkward, everyone reached out for the food laid out on the floor, eager to fill their empty stomachs.
“…………”
“Why the long face, big boobs? Not a fan of some vegetables?”
“Stop treating me like a child! It’s just… eating like this on the floor is…”
“It’s pretty much like how we eat during lunch breaks in combat training, right? What’s there to be embarrassed about now?”
Living as noble sons and daughters, they rarely experienced things like sitting on the floor to eat.
“That’s one thing, but this is another!! We’re not in a camping ground here!”
“Hmm? But once you start acting as a knight, camping will be pretty common, won’t it? It’s not a bad idea to get used to it now. Right, president senpai?”
“Well… That’s true.”
“Guh!!”
The inner voice screaming, “It’s unfair to seek approval from Lady Christille!” was written all over her face.
“Getting used to this way of eating doesn’t mean forgetting our dignity as nobles.”
“The important thing is the underlying principle. As expected from you, president senpai. You’re not just strong.”
“…Thank you.”
She knew it was comforting, not provoking.
Ad
Still…she understood what Ishud meant by saying she was strong.
(Ishud probably sees me as one of the promising figures for the future… Well, first, I have to stand on the same stage as him for it to even matter.)
The difference between the second and third job classes isn’t just about levels.
“Speaking of which, Ishud. When do you think we’ll start fighting monsters around here?”
“Are you itching to get some real practice in, Dustin?”
“To be honest, I am. But I understand that neglecting training and rushing into real battles is the height of foolishness.”
“Haha, as expected. Well, I trust you’ve thought through all that, so I’ll rest easy.”
Ishud’s laughter wasn’t shared by Dustin alone; it seemed to resonate with everyone present.
