Chapter 80: Training with Delight
Translated by AmaLynne
「―――Uh, no kidding, right?」
The Sinatra family courtyard.
Standing in the long-disused training grounds, Delight Sinatra could not hide his surprise at seeing the forgetful competence of his discipline, who had not even come of age yet.
「How is it?」
「…O-Oh, yeah, if you’re that good, no wonder you’re not scared shitless in front of that bastard Albert.」
「Thank you.」
At breakfast, Sam learned from Jonathan that his duel with Albert had been approved by the state and would take place in a week in the presence of the king.
He was surprised, but not worried.
However, he was glad that Lise, Erika, and Alicia were concerned about Sam’s situation.
As he was saying to them,「Don’t worry」, a messenger flew in from Francesca.
She told Sam, on behalf of her father, that Delight had told him to come immediately if a duel had been arranged.
Sam had no reason to refuse, so after breakfast, he headed straight for the Sinatras’ house.
And without even saying hello, Delight decided to check out Sam’s abilities, and here we are today.
「I knew there was something wrong when I heard about your fight with Günther, and now it makes sense. Ur has a very biased way of training his disciples.」
「If anything, it’s not Ur’s fault, but Skill’s.」
「What a pain in the ass you are. God must not like you very much if you can’t use a sword and you have skills specialized in cutting.」
「But I’d be sincerely grateful if God existed.」
「Hah?」
「Because it helped me meet Ur.」
Sam doesn’t know if there is a God in this world.
Even when he was reincarnated in another world, he has never met God, so he even doubt its existence.
However, if God does exist somewhere and has intervened in his destiny, he would just like to thank it from the bottom of his heart for letting him meet Ur.
Meeting Ur opened up a new world for Sam.
The four years he spent with her became an irreplaceable treasure.
It is a pity and too sad that Ur passed away, but he was warmly welcomed by her family.
And now here he is with Ur’s master.
「Haha, you’re a pre-Günther too?」
「Please not that one.」
No amount of Delight’s words could have escaped his hearing.
Günther’s warding skills are nothing short of amazing, but he doesn’t want to be lumped in with that perverted and obsessive young man.
「I don’t think so, but you don’t have a stash of Ur’s underwear either, do you?」
「…………」
「…………Oi.」
「No, this is a misunderstanding. I have all of Ur’s personal belongings that she used during her adventures!」
「―――Isn’t that more awful?」
「No, it’s not that! Since I inherited the entire Item Box, it means I received Ur’s personal belongings as they were!」
On second thought, he should have given it to the family.
Sam had completely forgotten about it, since her personal belongings were all clothes, dishes, and books she had been reading.
「Well, I’ll leave it at that. Now, back to you. I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can tell you. I’m sorry, but you’re stronger than me.」
「……Delight-sama.」
Sam never expected Delight to admit that he was better than him in terms of ability.
He was more bewildered than pleased.
Sam is bewildered, but Delight continues.
「I have a lot of experience. I’m sure your training with Ur while moving from place to place was a good experience for you. It is also good that Lieselotte is training your body. So, you know. There is only one thing I can do for you.」
「One thing?」
「Get ready, Sam. I’m a drunk, and now I’m going to kill you with everything I’ve got.」
Delight radiated tremendous deadly energy, and Sam braced himself for it.
「That’s it. I can’t teach you magic, but I’m going to spend the rest of the week with you in a war that you’re going to get sick of. ―――Let’s go!」
Magic rises from Delight.
Sam immediately knew that he had used body enhancement magic.
He glimpsed the skill of the technique as he naturally strengthened his body in such a way that it was hard to believe that he had been drinking all his life.
Sam is delighted.
It’s not every day that he gets to hand-to-hand combat with someone of this caliber.
His lips pursed into a grin, and he raised his voice as his fighting spirit grew stronger.
「―――Pleasure to work with you!」
The next moment, Sam and Delight collided with full force.
