Chapter 341- New Business

"Super High Heal, High Cure"

"Ku... you only use magic..."

“No, it's a mock battle for magic.”

I was using recovery magic to heal the damage. Paralysis is probably a status abnormality, so I also used magic to heal the status abnormality.

Bequa was able to move and put out his hand, so I pulled it and made him stand.

“Still numb?”

“A little.”

Bequa's hand was still trembling slightly. It seemed to be still numb.

“So how was the magic?”

The king and two of his aides came to us.

“The magic is still less powerful, I think. Including the recovery magic.”

“Hey...Zeros. Did you use recovery magic on me for an experiment?"

"......that's not true, okay?"

“Then what happened during that time...!”

In fact, it is true that among the reasons for using recovery magic on Bequa was to confirm that the effect of recovery magic might also weaken. The truth is, even if there was no reason to test it, I would have used the recovery magic.

“I see... it is difficult to have a saint use holy magic in the arena in an emergency.”

Ah, come to think of it, is the saint and the heroes coming for the purpose of escorting them? Maybe they are already here.

“So how far down did the vital power go?”

“Geez, Zeal, how much did it go down? 』

“Hmm... 30 to 50 percent. The easier the magic was, the more it decreased in power. 』

I told the king exactly what Zeal had told me. It seems that the more complicated the magic is, the less powerful it is. If I used a very complicated and time-consuming magic with Yug, the power might not decrease much.

“I see...that was helpful. Thank you. I have things to do, so I'll leave you now. I apologize for inviting you on such short notice today.”

The king said so and left with his entourage in tow. In the end, I only talked with the king about magic tools. Well, this is the end of my purpose.

"Well, Carina, let's go home."

“Wait a minute.”

"Oh...I saved a room for Carina, but is she staying here? Isn’t she going to stay at the inn? I'd appreciate it if she'd come with me to the inn..."

“Oh, I'll stay at the inn. I think it will be easier for you to move around if I, a beastman and royalty, am there when you need to take some action.”

“I see. Thank you. Shall we go home then?”

“Wait a minute.”

"Bequa, don't grab me. We can't go home like this."

I was going back to the inn with Carina when Bequa grabbed me by the arm.

"Are you planning to run away after winning?"

"I have no intention of doing that. If you say such things, no matter how many mock battles we have before I leave, it will be seen as me running away after winning."

“You! We’re going to have a mock battle this time with the same rules as the tournament! Carina! You're the referee!”

“Okay.”

It was already decided that I would have another mock battle with Bequa when I was told to "wait a minute" at the beginning. So I decided to play along and provoke Bequa anyway.

Since then, I had seven mock fights with Bequa, two with Carina, and one with Urza. I won all of them against Carina and Urza, and lost only once against Bequa.

“Wow...it's all dark now.”

“I guess so."

I walked out of the castle and it was already dark outside. I checked the time and saw that it was around 19:00.

“I'll be at the inn again tomorrow!”

“Yes, yes."

Bequa and Urza saw me off, and Carina and I went back to the inn together.

“It's noisy even at night, isn't it?”

“It's probably due to the upcoming tournament.”

Apparently, there are a lot of beastmen who come here to see the sights because there is a tournament here in the capital. So when the event is near, the capital is even noisier than usual, I hear.

“I'm using a moderate amount of stealth, so that's good..."

The streets are also full of people. It is good that we are using stealth to keep a low profile, but if we are noticed, we are likely to be forced to buy something to the beastmen selling food at the food stalls. The smell of burning meat and sauce was coming from everywhere. We had to be patient because we couldn't leave Sophie and the others behind and eat first.

"Go down the back alley and turn left at the end of the alley, and I'll be waiting for you.”

“What?”

“.........Zeros-san?"

I stopped suddenly. The reason for this is because someone spoke suddenly in my ear. There are so many people that even if you were to walk normally you would bump into someone, so it is only natural that you would hear someone talking. And it's okay if the conversation is disturbing.

The problem is the magic power that was emitted for a moment right next to me. It was only for a moment, but the magic high-speed sensing showed that it was higher than mine, higher than Sophie's.

“What's wrong?"

Carina looked at me with concern.

“I'm fine. I've got some business to attend to, so please go back to the inn first.”

“Eh? No...oh..."

I grabbed Carina's hand and moved to the corner of the road for the time being.

“I've got some business to attend to, so go back to the inn. You don't have to say anything to the three of them who are still there. They don't want to fight right now either.”

"Tsu! Are you alright?"

Carina should have understood the nature of the task I had and that I asked her to go back to the inn first. There was no need for her to keep quiet, but it's probably best not to speak about it directly.

"It's alright. I'll be back soon."

"...Understood. I'll wait for you at the inn."

"Thank you."

I left Carina and headed for the back alley. Come to think of it, I had a similar situation with Im.

By the way, I was not lying when I told Carina that the other party would not be willing to fight. If they wanted to fight, they would have attacked me right then and there. However, I really didn't want to go alone. I might as well have asked Carina to call Sophie and the others. However, Sophie would probably teleport, appear suddenly, and attack out of the blue. In order not to cause any damage to the beastmen in the city, we couldn't start a battle here.

“Here he comes.”

“I've been waiting for you.”

The Lord who had summoned me said this and took off the hood that was deeply covered.

“Ryu..."

As I had expected, it was the demon Ryu who had summoned me here.
