BXBX NOVEL Chapter 236: High Quality
“Prince!”
“Leave it to me! Now, on this remote small island with little greenery, let’s bring forth a flower garden in full bloom! 【Mega Gardening】!”
In the meantime, I first had the prince beside me use magic.
“Huh? Magic!? Hey, Mamu… something’s coming!”
“I know! But with mega-class magic, no matter what… eh?”
The two of them, who were having trouble concentrating, couldn’t react by instantly smashing the prince’s magic, and were just surprised.
But, if this magic was an “attack” directed at father and mother, then the two of them will probably be conscious of “battle” and concentrate, but…
“Huh? These flowers… aren’t even poisonous…”
“Wow… this is…”
On a small island with only a little greenery and sandy beaches, flowers that would not normally be there were blooming.
It’s not an attack, it’s just a matter of making flowers bloom all over the island.
“Wow~, the flowers are… beautiful… “
“Hey little one, don’t you come out from behind us!”
“And don’t touch them so much… hey…… but ordinary flowers? Huh? What’s the point?”
On an island with nothing on it, there was suddenly a field of colorful flowers in full bloom.
And there’s no poison or attack or any other malicious or hostile intent in it, either.
Amae was excited, but both father and mother can’t help but be puzzled by this change in the environment.
What’s the point of all this? Well.
Actually……
『There is no meaning. However, from the perspective of these two, whose concentration is disrupted, it would bring added confusion. Is there a point… merely having them contemplate on that has merit. Furthermore, those two, who were in a passive state from the beginning, without any attack from the other side out of concern for the child, could do nothing. Fufufufu, passive Hiro and Mamu? A tactic most unbecoming of idiots, who have always taken the single-minded tactic of assault, suicide attack, and smash. Entirely a step behind, are you not? Hiro… Mamu!』
Yes, it doesn’t mean anything. This was also just to confuse both father and mother.
But, from here on…
“Your concentration is off, I’m right in front of you, and you look away so easily… how are you supposed to look at me like that?”
『Come now, humble them!』
At that moment, feeling as if Tre’ainar’s words had pushed my back, I ran straight towards them.
“…… eh! Earth!?”
“Huh, E, Earth!? What… are you doing?”
I’ve been running around a lot, so I’ll run at them.
In a panic, they looked at me and tried to brace themselves for a moment, thinking that I might attack them… but……
“”Eh…?””
At this point, they must have been even more surprised.
Because they didn’t feel any signs of an attack from me running straight ahead.
“Earth…”
“…… a charge?”
This delayed their reaction as well.
『Now… fall out!』
If not to attack, then what am I running towards them for?
The correct answer is fundamentally different.
I’m not running towards them.
It’s just that those two were an ‘obstacle’ standing in my way.
The goal is to get to my little sister, who is standing behind them.
『Once you use the Breakthrough, those two will be conscious of the battle… so do not use it. What is needed here is not physical ability… tis running technique and quality!』
That’s right, I’m not running to attack. I’m running to get past them and get to Amae.
In the current situation where they were distracted, their gaze averted, and their mind unable to think straight…
“Let’s go!”
“”Eh!?””
I slowed down the pace just before entering the distance between the two with a dash.
Change of pace… from… weight shift to the right.
“Hold on, Earth!”
“What!? Where!?”
My father and mother also reacted, shifting their center of gravity following my movement.
But then, I took a crossover step from shifting my weight to the right and turning back to the left…
“What!? Oh…… you… r, reverse move?!”
“This move… w, wait! I won’t let you get away!”
But, both my father and mother were surprised by my reversal, but they reacted instantly.
I look away from both of them for a moment. The two also reacted to the slight induction of my gaze.
It seems that the two of them, who have fought a hundred battles, can keep up with my feints while being set up so well… but……
“…… kara~!”
“”Huh!?””
“【Great Demon・Killer・Crossover】!!”
Just as my father and mother reacted and tried to shift their center of gravity with their gaze fixed on the opposite side, I stepped back again and got past them all at once.
“Sudden stop… ah…”
“Eh… ah…”
If this were a step used in battle… if the two were focused… it may have been crushed.
But I pulled it out.
『Fufu… a double and triple set-up… but that is not all. At the end of the blood-soaked training, tis the steps of the child whose shell was further broken by deadly battles with Jamdi’el and Paripi… even without the Breakthrough… you were blindsided, were you not?』
Speed, power, that’s not all.
『Normally, you simple-minded idiots would smash your opponent head-on without thinking about feints or techniques… yet in spite of yourselves, you saw it, did you not? The child’s perfect step work…… so you got caught in the feint, did you not?』
I pulled out with technique. Father. Mother.
“…… Earth…… you…”
“…… Earth…… your…… movement just now…”
And the both of them fell for my feint, couldn’t keep up, and their legs got entangled in the repeated weight shift, and they both fell on their butts on the spot together.
“Amae!”
“Oh… o… older brother!”
And with the obstacles out of the way, only Amae was waiting.
The moment she called me, I hugged her and held her in my arms.
『Impressive. This crossover step that suppresses even the opponent’s will to fight… tis truly worthy of being called the 【Great Demon Killer Crossover】! That was such a stunning ‘Ankle Break’, child!』
I moved my body as I wanted, and I got the two of them entangled as I wanted.
Even with this kind of playful exchange, I was elated by Tre’ainar’s words, along with a slight sense of accomplishment.
“Wow, that’s amazing! Earth’s father and mother fell!”
“Truly… what a beautiful move… Boy.”
“Earth… Lagann…… that guy…… even more so than when he fought me…”
That’s right everyone… look at me more… and be more surprised… I mean, Tre’ainar’s going to take the liberty of naming it again with that weird naming sense…. well, I feel good now, so I’ll use that name for the rest of my life!
『Fufufufufu, fuhahahahahahaha! How most unseemly, Hiro! Mamu! Has peace blurred and dulled your senses? For both of you to get your feet caught and fall, fufufufufu, hahahahaha! How was it? What do you feel? But this is the child now! Originally, no matter how distracted you were, no matter how upset and confused you were, no matter how caught off guard you were, you falling flat without even being able to even touch your son was an impossibility… but the current child is different! No! Grown to greater ‘high quality’ than you can imagine!』
And my master was in a better mood than I was.
But thanks to you…
“Uh~… ugh, Older Brother… Older Brother!”
“Yeah.”
“Older Brother! Uh, ah, uuuuh, idiot older brother, stupid, liar!”
Thanks to that, I was able to reach my crying sister face to face without running away.
I could once again feel the small but hard-working strength and weight of Amae, who was hugging me, and the next moment she was clinging to my neck in tears, and wrapping her legs around my back.
But……
“Oh, I’m sorry. But later, you can get mad at me a lot, you can hit me, and I’ll pat you… just a little longer.”
This is not the Happy Ending.
“Hmm… Earth…… you…… that’s right… they said you also beat Jamdi’el… but…… but…… you…”
“Hey… ugh…… seriously…… I was really surprised… Earth.”
Yes, the two heroes who were knocked down by me won’t back down like this.
They both look back at me with their butts still on the floor.
Those two were looking up at me.
What happened in this momentary battle? It was the first time my father and mother had ever looked at me with such quiet and serious expressions, as if they were thinking back on it.
“You… until now…… how much…… ever since the previous match… how much…… have you been running?”
“How many battles… have you overcome?”
Yes, those two…the way they look at me has changed!
『Hmph… if you look at him this way… from here on out… the child as he is ‘now’ cannot triumph over these two people at the same time… ‘now’. But…… Hiro… Mamu… even with those looks in your eyes, someday… the child…』
I got it. I just caught them off guard right now.
But someday, even these two look with those eyes from the beginning… ‘we’…
『”will surpass you!”』
Neither father nor mother would know the meaning of that one comment, but ‘we’ made a declaration.
And…..
“Well, it seems that our opponents have become serious… we have to protect him… Scatter, 【Flower Blizzard】!!”
“Earth, that was so cool, I… I’ll do my best too!”
As they admired me, the eyes of the two people over there were sparkling, and at the same time, the petals of the flower fields blooming all around the area blew into the air.
