To Deprive a Deprived Person

「I know!」

Namari raises her hand on her knees. Momo, sitting on Namari’s head, also raised her hands, knowing that she knew it.

"What the hell is that? Demi-human Noah, Tropi, the leader of 『Red Meteor』 and Giant Eckert......and that brat is Namari that Yuu often takes with him"

Comer City´s Adventurer Guild 2nd floor. Other adventurers stare at Namari´s group sitting in the corner of the room.

「You’re right, that’s a strange group. Anyway, the one who has the nickname 『Madman』 isn’t fine. He is reading a picture book to a kid, right? What the hell is that way of talking?」

「Well, he must be happy. His wife and kid haven’t come back yet」

Noah was reading a picture book to Namari sitting on his lap, but his face was always so steep that he couldn’t get anywhere else and it was so broken that everyone could see it from the side.

「Hey Hey. Namari-chan, did Yuu-chan talk about me?」

Tropi sitting next to Noah shakes Namari’s shoulders.

「Emm. Tropi is a weird guy, wa, wanting to know? Nina and the other older sisters hides――Momo, don’t hit my head because I understand!」

Momo hits Namari’s head and urges the continuation of the picture book. Tropi, on the other hand, was shaking her feet, laughing, 「Guhuhuu」.

「Noah......san, continue reading!」

「What is Namari. Why do you call others with honorifics」

「Because Odno is so busy, he’s angry that he’s calling on the person he’s in」

「Gushishi, were you scolded by Yuu?」

Eckert strokes Namari’s head with a mean smile. Namari squints comfortably and Momo admire the big hand of Eckart.

「Odono-sama is terrible! Leaving me alone today and going somewhere」

「Well, its like that. Even though I’m called like that, my back is so sober. It’s better to call me as usual. Alright, I´ll read the rest of the book」

「Uh, I understand!」

While the dragon god and the beast god were fighting, another battle of gods had broken out elsewhere. The giant god that has a large body as if it were mistaken for a mountain and the demon god that has three horns grown from its head. It was a silly reason to start the fight, who is stronger. It was the giant god who launched an attack first. The blow not only shattered the mountains, but also crushed the earth. But the other person is also God. At the bottom of the shattered earth, the demon god was catching the hammer that the giant god dropped. With a roar like a wrath, the demon god smashes the giant god’s arms with the hammer of the giant god. The body of the giant god like a mountain fluttered in the air and when it fell, the whole area shook and screamed as if an earthquake had occurred. The battle here has not ended and lasted more than a hundred years. It is said that the blood splattered at this time became the source of giants and demons. The battle between the giant god and the demon god, who have been fighting for too long, has been intervened by a single god who didn’t like to watch the battles. Was. However, the battle between the gods who live in the eternity has continued. From the third volume of the battle between the gods.

「Uooo! Amazing!! God is amazing!!」

Namari gets excited and shakes her body on Noah’s lap. Noah supports her body so that Namari does not fall, but he nods over and over again with satisfaction with Namari and Momo, who are happy and sad about his reading.

「If they hadn’t stopped fighting, who would have won?」

Words that should not be said. Namari just wanted to know purely, but there was Noah, a demon, and Eckart, a giant. Demon god and Giant god. It was easy to imagine that it would be troublesome to hear which one was stronger, if it was someone who knew the Demons and Giants even a little.

「It’s decided to be the demon god, because he is the god of us demi-humans」

「I think its the giant god. The giant god knows who is stronger than any God in the fight」

The air between Noah and Eckart, which stretches between them, is transmitted to the adventurers around.

「Hoo, do you say the demon god loses to the giant god?」

「What giant god? It can’t be afraid. It’s Noah who needs to forgive the greatness of the giant god」

「Wait, wait. It’s not very good to fight in front of Namari. Look. Why don’t you settle it like a man with strength?」

「Strength?」

「Old man. Even if I of the B rank win against you of the C rank it is natural and it is not satisfying. So why don’t we compete in arm wrestling?」

「Gunu. If it’s a battle, I´m one rank inferior to Noah. If it’s arm wrestling, I can’t lose!」

The betting was already taking place around Lalit, who had already won. Namari and Momo have shining eyes and send a hot glance to Noah and Eckart.

「Namari, do you look? I’ll show you my strength!」

「Oh, Noah is Tou-chan!」

「Sure!」

Noah hits his chest, covered with thick muscles, to get excited. Many demi-humans love fighting, but of course Noah is no exception. But this time is different. Namari is watching. Before seeing Namari come running with a smile when eyes met and she was not afraid of his appearance, Noah was trying not to lose.

「Tropi, who do you think will win?」

「Well, I’m not interested in the fight between filthy people. Rather, let’s go to Yuu-chan´s mansion」

「I want to play with Odono-sama, but I don’t know where he is」

「Mou. Namari-chan is not good」

「Noisy」

On the side where Namari and Tropi are in play, Lalit was fueling the adventurers around him.

「Nicknamed 『Madman』, his fighting strength is one of the best in Comer! B rank adventurer Noah! On the other side we have the promising shield user who has been invited by more than ten clans, Solo Fighter Giant Eckart! Who wins!!? The current odds are 1.3 for Noah and 3.4 for Eckart!! You’re free to go solid or aim for a big hole like an adventurer! Come on, the bet is this way!!」

「No matter how simple the demi-human Noah’s strength is, Giant Eckart is stronger. Alright! Here are three gold coins on Eckart!」

「Idiot! You don’t know Noah’s mysterious powers? Even if a Giant is the opponent, he won’t be able to take the lead!! Here are five gold coins on Noah!!」

「Two gold coins on Eckart riding the momentum!」

「He isn’t Comer´s strongest fighter! Here are ten gold coins on Noah!!」

「Ooo!? 10 gold coins, it was 10 gold coins!!」

All adventurers on the second floor of the Adventurer’s Guild are ranked C or higher. Because there is an income which cannot be compared with D rank or less adventurer, the bet is also high and gold coins are piled up on the table in front of Lalit in no time.

「A man is really stupid, but here I am――」

「Moran, you owe me money, so don’t do it」

「Uh. But I guess even Mehmet is participating in the bet. Ah, I have to renew the equipment」

Looking away from the men’s silliness, 『Gold Moon Blossom』 Moran sent a grim glance at Lalit, who is getting excited by the nail stuck in the application.

「It’s getting exciting. Hey, Eckart! If you’re going to give up, now is the perfect timing」

「Gushishi. No giant surrenders before fighting」

Noah and Eckart hold each other’s hands. That alone makes the table scream. It’s no wonder that the eight-seat table looks small in front of Noah and Eckart.

「Oh, my God. It’s a pure power comparison, isn’t it? Skills are prohibited during the fight!」

「I know. Lalit, let’s start quickly. Namari, look. My strength!」

「It’s always good to have a good stay」

「Tsk. This is where setup is important」

Lalit complains, but it’s a great chorus to start as soon as possible.

「All right! Well then, let’s go! Ready～Go!!!」

On the first signal, Lalit taped Noah and Eckart´s hands.

「Oraaa!!"

「Nunn!!"

Noah’s height is about two meters, whereas Eckart is two hundred and fifty centimeters. It is a comparison of the powers of giants that are hard to see in human races. Their power is incomparable to average monsters.

「Noah, what are you doing to the underdog! I’m betting two gold coins on you!!」

「Idiot! Eckart!!! Is that body a decoration!!」

「I´m rely on you! Eckart, win!! If you don’t, I can’t pay for it!!」

Cheering support. Because money was at stake, everyone had blood in their eyes.

「Go, Good......I’ll do it......heegaa!! But I guess your arm is about to reach its limit soon? You’ll scream!!」

「Gu, Shishi! That’s my line!! Poorly, sloppily......I don’t want to lose, so I will endure it even if my arm is broken!!」

The Adventurer’s Guild is the place where devastating people gather. The tables are so rugged that they are incomparable with other stores, so cracks begin to occur without being able to withstand the power of Noah and Eckart.

「O, Ooo!? Seriously. Isn’t it even?」

「It looks like that. Noah doesn’t seem to be doing anything」

「At this rate, the table is going to reach its limit first」

The heat of the field rises even further in the long-term battle of the super heavyweight.

「Noah and Eckart do your best!」

When Namari’s cheers reach his ears, Noah pushes in.

「Oou! Th, Th, This is my ability!!」

「Nuguuu......!!? Th, This is foolish!! Funnubaa!!」

Eckart returns his wrist and makes a comeback.

「Good! Eckart, win for me!」

「Impossible! Noah, what happened to the strength of the demons and the guy who is coming in everyday!」

「What――. You, the right moment......you!!?」

「I’m going to push you――gee」

Noah and Eckart’s arm-wrestling showdown was at its peak. There was a person on the spot, pushing forward and pushing the spectators away. Those who were pushed away or dismissed with all their might stare at the inscrutable intruder, but as they see him, they are silent.

「Gooo!」

「Oi, I’m going to disturb you. You’re that brat Namari. Are you lending your face to others」

It was a huge building just reaching the ceiling. The one who spoke to Namari was the Giant Yakum, one of Muss’s house guests.

「No! I’m watching Noah and Eckart!」

「Don’t complain and come with me obediently」

Yakum taps Namari’s back. Yakum intended to hit it lightly, but Yakum’s power was still too far from normal. He is still a giant.

「Waaa!?」

Like a ball rolling down a hill, Momo lying down on Namari´s head with Namari and watching the game rolls through the crowd and into the wall of the room. The momentum does not drop and the movement stops only after hitting the wall. Momo who had grasped on Namari´s hair so as not to be shaken off turned her eyes and was unsteady.

「Temeee!! What are you doing!!」

Noah, who has been arm wrestling with Eckart, interrupts the game and beats Yakum’s face. However, no damage can be seen on Yakum´s face, who received Noah’s fist.

「I hate demons. Get out of my way」

「Guaa」

Conversely, Noah flies in the air after receiving Yakum’s fist. Next was Eckart. He was someone who makes use of his huge body.

「Hmm. What’s a youngster like you doing here?」

Yakum was even bigger and stronger than Eckart, one of the largest among giants. Despite the fact that Eckart, a shield user, struggled with all his might, Yakum’s sturdiness is unusual, as his stubbornness is unusual.

「You’re going to apologize to Namari!!!」

「Lie down!!」

Eckart, who had a fist hit on his chin, fell on his knees. He tries to get up immediately, but he stumbles and falls down again. Eckart, a staple of endurance, fell in a single blow.

「He, Hey hey, Eckart was taken down by that guy!」

「One shot!」

「Move aside!!」

Noah comes back, pushing away the people.

「You’re Yakum from the mercenary group 『Grim Barvo』, a mercenary that promises victory. You hate demons? Then the rumor that the mercenary group was crushed by only one demon is true. And what is a mercenary who promises victory. Don’t you think you will lose someday!!」

「You....... Do you want to die?」

Yakum let go of the giant war hammer that he holds in his right hand. The floor rises and breaks, failing to withstand the weight of the war hammer, which is appropriate for its appearance.

"Hahh. If you can kill me, try to kill me!!"

An incredible fight between Noah and Yakum begins. It’s like a storm that suddenly occurs in a room. If you get involved, there is no way of escape.

「Cho!?, Ge, Get away! Or you’ll get caught up in this situation!」

「It’s not a joke. I’m not bored of being caught up in the battle between demons and giants!」

Even adventurers who are accustomed to rough affairs take a distance to avoid getting involved.

「Haahaaa. Th, This guy......!!」

「It’s like doing something, but it’s like this」

Noah, who has even his red skin dyed with his own blood, glares at Yakum. Yakum, on the other hand, has bruises on his face but they don’t seem to affect him.

「Well, it’s nice that stubborn people fight for themselves. If I’m on the sidelines here, Yuu-chan will get angry later if I abandon Namari-chan――hey!!」

Tropi appears between Noah and Yakum and kicks Yakum’s feet. Contrary to the cute shouting, Tropi´s kick has the power to break a lignum vitae tree, which is said to be three times as hard as a evergreen oak tree. A terrible blow sounds from Yakum´s thighs who received the kick. Yakum’s pants bounce and the log-like thighs become dark blue due to internal bleeding due to Tropi´s kick.

「This idiot!!」

「Scary」

It was Tropi that guarded Yakum’s back fist while flying backwards, but still blew off while involving tables and chairs without killing the power.

「Hey, are you okay?」

Lalit speaks to Tropi buried in the remains of broken tables and chairs.

「Ouch. Not forgiving and breaking the nose of a young girl. Yes, I will kill him」

「No, Not good. Lalit, get away from her! Tropi is mad!!」

The earth spirit move around in a hurry, blowing away the remains of the tables and chairs, covering Tropi, forming an armor. Despite laughing, Tropi´s eyes were fixed as she licked the blood that flowed out of her nose.

「Shit! I wonder what it is. Namari must be all right」

Lalit senses the crisis and hurries away from Tropi. Tropi dressed in armor runs like an arrow and takes part in the battle between Noah and Yakum.

「Momo――is okay. She is just turning her eyes. Namari, however――」

「Attack Confirmation」

An emotionless female’s voice is emitted from Namari.

「Target Yakum´s fighting strength analized, Counterattack started. Elimination」

In front of Lalit, a black slime emerged from the horn of Namari, oozing out.

「He, Hey......what the hell is that」

When a new black slime oozes out, it covers the entire body of Namari and becomes a black exoskeleton. Namari, a strange figure, rises slowly.

「Namari, are you okay?」

Lalit was horrified, but Namari did not respond.

「I’m angry!」

Namari was angry enough that Lalit’s voice could not be heard.

--------------------------------

「Haahaa......haahaaa......」

「You should have already figured it out」

It was Nina fighting Jozu in a vacant lot in the slums,but it is clear which is superior when looking at both sides. While Nina sweats like a waterfall all over her body and her breathing is severely disturbed, Jozu doesn’t sweat, let alone breathe.

「Haahaaa. N......Not yet!!」

Nina kicks the ground and challenges Jozu in close combat. Jozu tries to step out of the instep of Jozu, pretending to be stepping on, but Jozu shifts his foot slightly and evades. Nina moves to an elbow strike. She aims at Jozu’s solar plexus with her elbow, but he can catch it with his hand. Without change Nina thrust her neck into the Black Dragon Claw. If you get scratched, it will trigger a random poison and you might be killed.

「You’re slow to connect the movement and coordination」

「HaaaHaaa......haaa!!」

Nina activates the dagger technique 『Infinity Blow』. As long as the MP last, Jozu handles the blow that is released. Although both are two dagger-styled users, the difference in ability appears clearly. Under the influence of anaerobic exercise, Nina’s skin begins to turn blue-purple.

「Zeezeee......ubuu......haa!」

Nina continues to attack, forcing her nausea to be suppressed. The aim is to make the dagger turn his consciousness.

「That’s enough!」

Jozu repels Nina’s two daggers. Nina’s arms are wide open to the left and right. Although she didn’t let go of her daggers, her position collapses and there was a clear gap that was neither acting nor invitation. At that moment, Nina activates the shadow technique 『Shadow Bind』. The shadow beneath Jozu’s feet is about to cling to Jozu’s feet in an attempt to restrain him, but a violent light illuminates the surroundings.

「It’s a glowing ball. If you hit it on the ground, intense light will illuminate the surroundings」

In Jozu’s right hand, there were a number of balls in addition to his Sky Falcon Claw.

「Zeezeee......st, still......!!?」

Nina falls down on her knees and hurriedly held her mouth with her hands.

「Nina, you’re already over the limit. Have you noticed that I’ve been able to kill you eight times so far?」

Vomit overflows from Nina’s hand holding her mouth.

「That’s how you’ll know you won’t be able to beat me with any hand. I don’t want to say it, but the other house guests are not as sweet as me. It’s too late for Lena and the others to do something. If there is anything with Lena and the others, Yuu will not be silent. If that happens, he will fight powerful people of A rank or higher. We’re going to fight the merciless Yuu, for Muss´s sake. I don’t want to imagine how much damage it will cause. Even the residents of Comer City may be harmed」

「O......ee. Zeezee......ju, just a lie. Haahaaa......Jo, Jozu-san, even......ot, other, people......haahaa, entirely......worried......no, no matter what......haahaaa」

「Is it okay to sacrifice the residents of Comer City, who have nothing to do with it?」

「Haahaa....... Hu, huhu. Why do I have to weigh Yuu with people I’ve never met?」

「It may be the adventurers or receptionists you know who will be sacrificed」

「Everyone has a priority. Even Jozu prioritizes Muss-san over Comer City?」

Nina watches closely as she watches her surroundings.

「I’m the only one here. Even if I try to sneak ambush to a lower-grade opponent......wait. Nina......what? Why can you stand up?」

Jozu notices the discomfort he feels from Nina. Nina, who had been dyspnea until now, couldn’t even bear the weight of her daggers and had been kneeling and vomiting, was standing as if nothing had happened. Her skin, which had been discolored to bluish purple, was restored, her breathing was regular and her two daggers were held lightly as if having even a feather.

「Yes. It really looks like there’s no one there. I guess I’ve lost a little bit of time. But soon there will be scary people coming, so it’s about time for Jozu-san――」

「Nina, what are you saying now――」

「Die」

The blade of the Sky Falcon Claw in Jozu’s right hand is partially cut off and falls to the ground. For a second, fresh blood splattered into the air late, as if the time had stopped moving.
