Delusion
In the end, we were able to catch 6 rainbow frogs and successfully completed the quest.
After successfully completing the remaining four quests, we returned to the lakeside log cabin on the 22nd level which was our base.
"Nya~"
"Kyui!"
When we entered the log cabin, Mina and Ori Hime, who were staying at home, greeted us.
"How have you been~ Mina-tan! Did any strange people come?"
I asked Mina while mooching around to my heart's content.
"Nya~"
"I see. I guess nothing happened. That's good, isn't it?"
"Master, do you understand what Mina-san is saying?"
Shiro tilts her head and asks.
"I don't understand! But I kind of understand!"
"That's right... I thought that was the case."
"That's a rather harsh way of saying it."
"I just wanted to be able to understand Mina-san’s words!"
"It would be great if you could understand Mina-tan’s words!"
"I see... that poisonous Mina-san. If you understand what Mina-san is saying, I'm sure Master will be disappointed!"
"That can't be true! Mina-tan is an angel! That's right, Mina-tan!"
"Nya~"
Mina purrs as if to say something back to me.
"Even now, she's probably saying things like, [How long are you going to keep mooching on me, you bastard!]''
Shiro says something terrible.
"Mina-tan won’t say such things!"
"I'll tell you! Even though she's become a cute cat, she's actually that mean, money-grubbing Mina-san!"
"Indeed……"
I remember Mina when she was a cat ear person.
At that time, Mina was truly a helpless person.
"It’s better if she stays like this after all!"
"That's right!"
ーーー
With that in mind, we immediately set out to raise our level.
This time, of course, I brought Mina and Ori Hime with me.
I want to increase our strength even a little.
That cockroach on the 33rd level is that troublesome.
No matter how many times we defeat it, it keeps coming out.
It is impossible to conquer unless I acquire overwhelming strength. I am desperate for help.
When we arrived at the 29th level, the so-called level-up dojo, we immediately began the battle.
This time, I will swing the sword firmly in order to regain my sense of actual combat.
The sword is a katana made by Shiro.
I remembered that I practiced Kendo in my previous life, so it felt right for me.
I step on the ground and check the feel of the ground.
"Okay! I can do it!"
I continued to walk forward, and got within range of the Volcanic Slime King.
When the Volcanic Slime King saw me in range, it launched a wave of tentacle attacks.
Thud*! Thud*! Thud*! Thud*! Thud*!
I can ward off all of those tentacle attacks with my sword.
"I can see it"
Thud*! Thud*! Thud*! Thud*! Thud*!
"Master! Would you mind if I help!"
Shiro, who had been waiting for me to attack for a long time, spoke to me.
"No need. It's been a while since I last experienced a real battle, so I was just getting my eyes used to it."
After saying that, I stepped into the Volcanic Slime King's bosom all at once.
Then, from the middle, I aimed a sharp thrust at the Volcanic Slime King's core.
Crack*!
The tip of my sword hit the Volcanic Slime King's core, and the Volcanic Slime King scattered on the ground as if it were melting.
"Master! That's amazing!"
Shiro got excited and suddenly hugged me.
"Of course! I was a warrior when I was an adventurer, and in my previous life, I was a 3rd dan Kendo player!"
"It was true! I was told that once you gained some flesh, Master would be as smart as a great sage, but since it didn't change that much, I thought that Master's sword skills wouldn't change that much either."
Shiro dissed me without any malice.
"You're rude! Nii also told me that my original ability was on par with that of an A-class adventurer!
If I combine the ability of that A-class adventurer with the ability of a 3rd dan kendo player, my ability will already be on par with that of a sword saint!"
"I see... I don't know what a swords saint is, but at any rate, it's amazing..."
"I don’t know what a sword saint is either, but in light novels about things from another world, there are a lot of amazing people like sword saints, sword princesses, sword gods, and so on!"
"So, Master decided to call yourself a sword saint without permission..."
Shiro said something extremely rude even though she was my servant.
"I never said anything like that!
The second name is something that is spontaneous, someone starts to say it and it spreads on its own!
Still, it's uncool to spread the word by saying it yourself!"
I deny it with all my might in order to correct Shiro's thinking.
"So you want me to spread the word?"
"Hmm... well... I guess that's the thing... I'll leave that to Shiro.
Anyway, you should imprint my greatness and awesomeness in your eyes!"
"I understand, Master!
With these 8 eyes, I will remember the good-looking appearance of Master!"
Apparently, Shiro understood my intention.
I want a cool name like Sword Saint, but it would be uncool if I spread it out by myself.
So, I will use my servant Shiro.
If Shiro loves me, she'll definitely spread the word about my bravery three times as much.
And I continued to mindlessly defeat the Volcanic Slime King, imagining myself in the future where I would be called the Sword Saint.
