Book 1: Chapter 16
I tried to return the pocket money back to Dante-san, but he didn’t take it. Instead, he stroked my head, saying,「I’m glad you found what you were looking for. Use that pocket money to buy some snacks you like.」
At that moment, I remembered my Japanese father, who I hardly remembered until now. A typical unreliable salaryman, who was 10 years older than Dante-san, and gets scolded by my mother as he idles around the house during days off. I also thought that I would be a salaryman in the future, but I was also thinking that I shouldn’t become like my father in the back of my mind.
…But now, it’s all unbearably nostalgic.
Lunch was fish soup noodles. But the soup was salty and had the smell of fish, and the noodles were not smooth. However, it was very delicious for me and I was engrossed in eating. After eating, it was kind of embarrassing to see Mimino-san, Dante-san, and Non-san looking at me with smiles.
「So, can we go to the training ground?」
「Sure thing. Boys are always interested in things like these.」Dante-san said, with an amused dad look. But my actual purpose was different.
I wanted to see the fight between adventurers and increase my own power with 【World Ruler】.
The training ground was the same as the warehouse. It was wide, and the ground was bare. You can see that it is used heavily because there were several depressions on the ground.
There was a scarecrow-like dummy for practice in the front, and a wide space at the back where you can fight freely.
