Chapter 251

Watching Uranus and Siimu, who I couldn't tell were training or flirting, I tried hard to improve my physical fitness.

As I squatted at high speed on the edge of the training ground to avoid getting in the way of the two of them,

"Are you a wrestler..."

A Meleoron ran nearby, leaving behind an annoyed voice.

I felt it was a bit rude... Besides, Meleoron, I didn't miss it, because my eyes were on my chest. Damn it.

When Siimu failed to play a card for the third time, Uranus stopped him.

"Let's end it here.

I think I've lost my focus. After a break, let's resume normal training."

"Okay..."

The seam of the squat. Uranus picked up ten coins, flicked them with his thumb, and then repeatedly caught them.

I was doing some stretching to improve my flexibility. With this load, even this kind of thing requires a considerable load. Of course, flexibility is an important factor. Even if this is a simple exercise, I cannot let my guard down.

"Aisha.

Kumite with me today, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm.

If possible, I would like to do that, but.

With this, I intend to do a Fixed exercise, take a break, take a break, Kiri, it's fine."

"I see.

No, Kumite is fine, but I wonder if I should make it more like yesterday's real battle, or a game."

"Ah."

This is about the Kumite.

If you make it practical, you end up with Uranus.

If it's the game type, that is, using and blocking Magic cards, I would be on my side.

Hmm...

"What do you mean by a mix?"

I will make a Suggestion. Uranus made an indescribable face,

"Mix...

Attacks don't hurt him, let's use Magic cards for offense and defense?

Isn't that half-finished?"

... Let's just do that. It's hard to set a standard for victory or defeat.

"Two? Alternating."

"Alternating... I hope it doesn't last too long.

But besides practical Kumite, Magic cards switch between offense and defense.

What about that area?"

"Hmm... I guess it's also alternating.

Combat Kumite, Magic use, practical Kumite, Magic blocking, in that order."

"Yes. Let's do it."

"Please wait a moment.

Stretching will be over soon, and after that

"... How about taking a break?"

"It's not good to keep you waiting, it's fine."

"Yes..."

Oh, I'm a bit grumpy. Well, I'll recover even while doing Kumite. I don't consume Aura, I'm still absolute.

Even if I say I've recovered, it will definitely be slower than when I'm resting. Without a doubt, he is an opponent who will have his remaining strength taken away.

────The first practical Kumite between me and Uranus turned into a long-term battle, and I barely won.

Just as we were both breathing slightly, the Kumite where I use Magic began. Taking a card out of the open Binder,

"One—"

Instead of speaking, I exhaled and placed the card I had just taken out against my chest. Almost taken by the first move.

Uranus's arms brushed against the card. After surpassing him by a few moves, Uranus's hand—

Tongue and flipped the Binder upward. Just as I was about to cover my line of sight, my Finger reached out from under the Binder and picked up my card.

The card had not yet left my hand...

"... This is my loss."

Uranus's fingers were released. Even drawing a card is a quagmire. If it were a real battle, I should have gone that far, but my current posture is against me. If I continue to force myself to speak, I will be attacked by the breathing disorder and have the card stolen.

Put the card into the Binder and erase them with the "book". When it comes to handling cards, Uranus is one of the better ones. You are very likely to actually be doing this kind of offense and defense. Experience makes a big difference.

Uranus turned to face me. He grabbed my arm as if he were stealing a card.

He held me tightly. It's hard to use this grip and Throw. Because Uranus is also vigilant. I pretended to loosen that grip and grabbed the cloth on Uranus's chest.

Unexpectedly, they pushed each other down. Unable to resist, both knelt on one knee.

The movement stopped. We ended up in an unexpected shape. There is an unspoken understanding that if only one person kneels, you lose...

"Hmm.

In this situation, what is winning and losing?"

"..."

"A draw, right?"

"If you stay in that position,"

"What do you think of the current offense and defense?"

"It was a tie just now, you saw it."

"To resolve it completely, you have to move to ground combat, but neither of you can move."

"No, we can get up from here and continue."

"Well, two players, how are you leaving here?"

The brother and sister who were resting and watching the match were speaking in a strange tone. Hmm...

"... Let's start over. No match."

"Yes..."

It's not a Spell, it's a real-combat Kumite, isn't it?"

"Right, um..."

After continuing the Kumite for about 20 minutes, Uranus knelt on both knees.

"I'm stuck... and, it's over..."

Pfft.

I'm clingier than yesterday. For Uranus, offensive and defensive spells must be easy.

As for the combat record, my performance today is better... but my spelling isn't very good. Honestly, it's hard to do. Especially the client side; the cards and Binder are too annoying. Not to mention using spells, even the "book" is an Obstacle to breathing. It's completely targeted.

. Are you training seriously?

"Today was fun, wasn't it?"

"As for the spelling, after we watched it, we understood it quite well."

"Yes, it was very helpful."

I see. That's good.

It would be nice if people in real combat could learn like this too. Well, don't be impatient.

Yes.... No, that might be impossible.

"Uh, Uranus.

Sorry to bother you, but I don't have enough weight in this state—"

"... Ah. Ah, sorry!

When I thought I forgot something, I forgot the Heavy dumbbells.

Sorry, I have to do this in this state..."

"Ah, if it's too hard—"

"No, I'll do it. I'll do it, but...

How many kilograms do you want?"

Dumbbells are bought in sets of 2, with a weight of 10 kilograms.

So, now even in "zetsu" I am 450 kilograms, and even with "Ren", the load is not enough.

I wonder how Heavy it should be... if it's too Heavy, it's dangerous if it accidentally falls. First of all, it's hard to ask the current Uranus for an unreasonable weight.

"Hmm...

Can you carry 200 kilograms?"

"..."

"200 kilograms each?"

"Yes, that's right."

"I wonder if that's enough...

Honestly, I thought I would push myself harder. Like 300 or 400."

Well, I think it's okay. I'm worried that if I make it too Heavy, the ground won't be able to support it. I don't want it to be Heavy enough to leave deep footprints. The Training ground is desolate.

First of all, even if "Ren" doesn't work, I want to use it for a while. 200 is reasonable.

"As expected, it's Heavy enough to be tiring, can you give me a moment?"

"Yes.

... I'm sorry for saying something unreasonable."

"No.

You are helping me with the Kumite Training. Thank you."

…………

For you too. It's hard for me to thank you for doing so many things...

After about 10 minutes, you will hear a voice from Uranus.

"Wait... done."

"... Thank you."

Two minutes plus 190 kilograms. Usually, I can do this without difficulty... I think I'm exhausted. The rule of not getting injured is quite harsh.

Pick up a dumbbell.

Oh, its weight is definitely not much different from the vest. If I put it down hard, it will hit my legs, which would be terrible even with my current defense. Be careful.

"Don't get hurt..."

"Yes. Please rest for a while.

I am watching you two."

"Yes, I will..."

Uranus buried his face in his knees. I might just go to sleep...

I looked at the two who were still resting,

"You two have both recovered, right?

Please do your best to Training correctly. Don't slack off just because Uranus isn't here."

"Yes..."

The siblings stood up. They began running and walking respectively.

Hmm, it's a dumbbell. Let me use it as I please.

────When I came to my senses, the sunset was pouring into the forest.

Although I continued to exercise, my siblings were clearly looking at me with expectant eyes.

Uranus... he was completely asleep.

Can't be helped. Training too loosely won't do either.

Clapping with Goo,

"Let's stop here for today."

The two fell to the ground. Uranus woke up.

"One...

I'm sorry, I slept until this time."

"No, no. You look very tired."

"We are tired..."

"Yes..."

"Looks like there's still plenty of room."

"Shim, you didn't skip, did you?"

"Don't skip!"

"Well, I'm watching. I'm doing my best as usual."

"I see."

In fact, even without Uranus's eyes, there was no problem with the Training. Both of them seemed to be able to adjust their pace well. I think I have mastered the cycle of exercise and rest. It seems my physical strength is gradually increasing.

For some reason, I was also exhausted... Sure enough, using the dumbbell is a burden. There should be very few people who devote themselves to physical Training under such a load. Up until now, I have spent a lot of time working with someone. After that, I practiced on my own just in case.

My muscles are tired and it feels comfortable, so I want to eat well and rest today.

"Speaking of which, I haven't decided yet, what about dinner?

I think maybe I'm Otania."

"Hmm...

Do you two have any wishes?"

"I'm tired... don't want to walk too much..."

"I don't want to go to the place to eat...

I want to eat something after resting a little nearby... Opu."

"So it's Otania.

You want to take it easy, so let's stay where we have been."

Hu hu hu hu... plan, plan, go, ri. I'm going to eat yellowtail sashimi today. Well, I ate a lot of seafood for lunch, but sashimi is another matter.

Now, after cleaning up the Training tools. I sweated a lot, so I have to wipe it clean.

Restaurant "Autumn Sky". And about the locust extermination, don't hesitate if you like anything.

The siblings are also very open-minded. Uranus is a bit reluctant to ask because he seems worried about sleeping.

"Uranus is also exhausted, he should eat well, right?"

"Hmm.

Ah. No, but isn't Uranus a bit pitiful? It's true that it's not good for luxury to become the norm, but..."

Well, matsutake. If that happens, I will lure Uranus with the scent of matsutake!

... It doesn't have the same purpose. Let's stop. No, I will order matsutake Gohan normally. Of course, there is also matsutake mushroom soup. Hamachi is a must, and since I've tortured my muscles today, let's also have some sweets. Later──...

──When eating──

We left the restaurant and took a walk in the autumn evening. This cool feeling is really delicious.

"Uh..."

Unless you don't mind Uranus groaning at the binder.

I see. The bill is 22,500 Jenny.... Yes, I regret it. I have no regrets. It was delicious.

"Ugugu... matsutake!"

Uranus was defeated by the loss of appetite, covered his face with both hands, and screamed.... Smancheta. I was born in Japan and can't stand that taste. After that, I ate a lot of Uranus.

"Ah...

Really, the gochisou after moving that thing is the best. Hiccup."

"That's right.

I'm a little fuzzy."

Oh, I don't know. Both of them might have luxurious habits.

No, well, it's good that you Training properly. What is it...

"... Hmm. Well, as long as everyone has fun, it's fine."

Then go to Masadora. I must replenish my Spell cards."

Uranus tightened. I had used "Analysis" and "List" at the restaurant a while ago, and I was really clever with that sort of thing. The purse strings were getting looser, but... I couldn't do it.

After enjoying a walk, head to Masadora. Even at this point in time, the number of players in Masadora is still sparse. I couldn't figure it out before... because I was always here and there.

First, go to the Trade Shop. I sold 3 Pearl Locusts and also sold some remaining "Communication", adjusted the card count, and saved money.

And with 400,000 Jenny, I bought 40 packs at the Spell card shop without waiting at all. There were 175 Spell cards in total, including the 55 Spells I already owned.

Ah, the "Steal" I gave to Mr. Mautalik hasn't been completed yet... Can't be helped.

"Wouldn't it be better to keep the C-Rank or higher Magic?"

Uranus looked at the cards on the table, hands clasped, listening to Meleoron's opinion; he must have noticed the same thing too.

"If you actively aim for Angel's Breath.

But if you can't draw 'Robust' forever, that is a big Obstacle."

"Do you want to buy more Spells?"

Cheadle asked, and Uranus scratched his cheek sourly,

"If I buy Spells randomly and still can't draw it, that would be miserable...

This isn't a gacha game, where you have bad luck and fail to catch the game, but you absolutely hate it, right?"

"Yeah, I don't want that..."

"Although it's S-Rank, isn't it too hard to pull back? Even though I can pull out the 'God Eye' of the same rank."

Uranus and I groaned at Meleoron's question. Physically, I feel like I can't get rid of it. I wonder why...

"You really can't draw the word 'Robust'.

The limit quantity is still not max, right?"

"Yes.

I just checked with 'Roster' at the restaurant, but there is only one person who has it.

I think it's possible that only the emission rate of 'Robust' is abnormally low.... No, maybe 'Leave' is too. Compared to the same rank range, it's clearly too hard to come out."

If that's the case, it's a shameless Harassment. Well, it's an effect suitable for that difficulty.

"If someone's card added 'Mimicry', that would be a problem, right?

Shouldn't we hurry?"

Simu looked at it, and Tianwangxing rubbed his lower lip with his Finger,

"Is it okay...

We have a total of 5 copies of 【Mimicry】, and we possess 3 of them.

I don't think we will suddenly monopolize 'Robustness' unless something truly extraordinary happens."

"On the other hand, if you draw 'Robust', do you want us to try to monopolize it using 'Mimicry'?"

When I asked, Tianwangxing twisted his neck,

"Hmm.

... Besides monopolizing Angel's Breath, monopolizing 【Rugged】 is a designated Pocket Card.

This is to completely prevent other players from guarding the page.

We have no intention of stealing card attack spells; we believe that if you want to defend, you can do whatever you want."

Hmm... is this true? On the contrary, protecting the 'Robustness' I possess will be even more difficult. Because I cannot keep it Hidden, as if I were to put it Together.

Then? Stick, wait a moment. There must be another purpose for monopolizing 'Ruggedness'.

Hmm... that's right.

"Tianwangxing, do you know what a 'Voucher' is?"

"Hmm? What?

... Ah, is it the Angel in Ryu? I have never obtained it, but I know it is there."

Fart? Angel, belonging to? Hmm? Perhaps there are other 'Exchange Vouchers'?

Alright, let's put that aside for now...

"Excellently...

If you reach the maximum quantity of Angel's Breath, you will not be able to obtain it as an item, but you will receive a 'Voucher' card."

"... Ah, so that's how it is.

I can wait for the harvest of Angel's Breath, so I will monopolize 'Rugged' to Seal it. It is certainly effective."

He spoke very quickly and was helpful.... It is still too early to explain now. I wonder if you two are paying attention to the conversation.

"Well, that is why I don't think I want to buy a spell card, even if I am negligent about game strategy. I cannot use human-wave tactics.

I want to enjoy myself while doing the best I can."

────Hearing this, I recognized them again.

Why can't Tianwangxing, who might know more than any other player, team up with others?

His attitude and thinking of focusing on entertainment rather than prioritizing clearing Greed Island might have prevented him from playing with others. For most people, clearing it first and obtaining the bounty from Mr. Battera would be the top priority. Last time, I didn't have any free time. In that situation, I don't know if I would think about working with Tianwangxing...

For me, who solved the problem with an almost foul hand, he is the best leader to make me realize the charm of Greed Island...

I feel that this is hindering me from achieving my own goals, and I feel a bit uneasy.
