The Demon King of Lust's Cheating Slow Life in Another World (WN): Chapter 57

 

Things I Remember

After talking with Master Shan, I had a clear goal.

Travel the world, meet people who are better than me, learn and hone my skills.

Perhaps because I had a clear goal or rather a dream, I naturally began to devote myself to training and discipline.

Huh? Didn't I have other goals when I came to this world?

I thought about it for a while and remembered it.

The promise I made to Evil God-san.

[I will change the world into the peaceful world that Evil God-san desires, where the Demon Kings, the Heroes, the demon race, and the human race can all live in peace and tranquility.]

Huh? Isn't this a means to an end?

Acquire skills as a way to become stronger in order to achieve my goals...

This is putting the cart before the horse, and I'm embarrassed that I promised Evil God-san.

I regret a lot of things. And now, as I'm struggling with my skills alone, I'm embarrassed by the sheer grandeur of what I promised Evil God-san.

However, I changed my mind and realized that since I had promised, I would have to do as much as I could.

After all, I'm still a child now.

There are still limits to how much I can travel the world, meet people, and hone my skills.

However, for now, all I can do is train and practice daily and hone the skills I currently have.

As I was thinking about such serious things, I saw Rain cheering me on in the distance, waving her hands.

Currently, I am exchanging swords with Beatrice-san at the Adventurer's Guild.

As per the strict instructions of Knight Commander Malberk, I did not use [Recovery Magic] and fought with the intention of receiving the opponent's sword.

Contrary to his appearance, Bear-san is quick with the sword.

Although he does not deliver many heavy blows, he delivers a barrage of blows and a variety of techniques. Like a knight, there are a few sharp flashes from above, in the middle, or below, and the sword comes out from various angles.

The sword appears like a whip, and I catch them with my sword without avoiding them. Because the blows are not heavy, I am not sent flying, but I am cut lightly several times without being able to fully handle it.

If it weren't for the wooden sword, I would have probably been covered in blood.

Bear-san said, [My sword is not suitable for adventurers. My sword will ruin monster materials]

In his active days, he was the leader of the party, a shield and protect the rear guard, and used a bow for backup when the situation called for it. Although he says he is [poor in dexterity], the [God's Eye] shows that his combat skills with various weapons are all level 4 to 6, which is quite high.

In a way, it is close to the fighting style I am aiming for.

"Ahh, jeez! I give up! I give up! I'm more tired than you!"

With that, Bear-san stopped attacking.

He seems really tired and is breathing hard.

Well... it's natural. He's been attacking me for about an hour now.

I haven't used any attacks other than keeping them in check, so I'm not too tired.

As soon as the mock battle was over, Rain came running towards me with a towel in hand.

"Onii-sama! Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job."

She said that happily and handed me the towel.

Seeing this, Bear-san's lips twitched and he raised a reproachful voice.

"Hey, hey. You guys are making out again. I'm the one who's tired... I thought that getting to know the opposite sex would slow down the training, but it hasn't slowed down at all... In fact, it's harder than before. I don't know what Malberk suggested, but this makes it look like I'm the one being trained..."

I smiled bitterly when I saw Bear-san sitting on the ground of the training hall, pouting.

It was at that time.

It feels like an electric current running through my body.

I felt a tugging at Bear-san's words.

What? What was it that caught my attention?

Then I remembered. The word [making out] he said......

That's right...

When Evil God-san asked me what I wanted, I answered, [I want to make out with girls. I want to do naughty things].

Remembering such a trivial matter, I couldn't help but look at Rain next to me.

Rain tilted her head in confusion and stared at me.

Am I making out with her right now?

My face suddenly became hot at the thought.

Once again, I instinctively turned my head away from Rain, and Rain looked into my face, asking, [What's wrong? Onii-sama?]

"N-no! It's nothing!"

That's what I said, but... it's kind of embarrassing.

But is this what I wanted?

Before I was reincarnated, I thought, [I want to make out]. It was more like... more snobbish and decadent...

Is this the kind of infantile regression that is common in reincarnation stories, where the mind is affected by the body?

I never thought that I would be so excited in such a pure and innocent situation... and the other person is still a child... maybe my taste has turned to loli...?

When I was feeling distressed and worried about something...

Bear-san muttered with a very bitter look on his face.

"You're still young. I'm getting jealous... keh!"

He was swearing a lot.
