Chapter 243 Dinner of the Disciples

Around the time when Deris was feeling a little regretful about the existence of the Great Eight Demons, an evaluation meeting was held by Harunas group at the castle of Crocus. Unfortunately, Queen Clarius and the officials are very busy, so they cant hold a big celebration to celebrate the end of the war. Chinatsu called out to Haruna and the others to gather so they wont cause trouble, and they gathered in the guest room where Haruna and Chinatsu sleep.

I secretly got some herb wieners from the cook in the kitchen. They are freshly made, so lets eat together~

Haruna, you got something like this, huh. Ill eat, though.

It smells good.

Vegetables are good, but after all, meat is also good desuwa!

Well, its such a loose atmosphere.

Okay. Then, I would like to start the evaluation meeting of the battle this time.

Clap clap clap.

Hmm, the result of the battle with Hund-san was disappointing, wasnt it? Everyone else was able to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sea Demons, but we were just one step behind. In the end, a direct attack on the mouth would be better than poison, I guess? *Nom*

If there were defensive bones inside I think it would be less effective. *Nom*

Looking at the result, I think the choice of using poison for continuous damage was correct. Either way, hell be completely recovered if he uses that, though. *Nom*

Right. I think there were not many tactical mistakes in this battle. Everyone was doing their best, and there were not many misjudgments considering it was against someone we fought for the first time. If there was any, it was the difference in strength. In order to win against an opponent on the level of that demon king, we need to become stronger. *Nom*

In conclusion, they lack in level, status, skills, training, and abilities. While munching the Crocus wiener, they arrived at the answer. Also, its decided what they should do.

Alright! I guess we just need to train harder! Lets double it first, and then triple it in the next day! *Nom nom nom*

I think its not a matter of quantity. Rather than excessive training by yourself, I think its better to ask our masters for opinions. Until then, lets just keep doing what we have been doing and dont be reckless. *Nom*

Ah, come to think of it, I forgot to hold the outdoor party desuwa! I fell asleep before I knew it! *Nom nom*

Lets do that next time. They didnt seem to have the time for that after all. (Im full)

They ate all the wieners. After that, they finished their discussion with some idle talk and closed the evaluation meeting. Before they knew it, Therese and Weerel have begun to discuss about the outdoor party that will come in the future. On the other hand, Haruna and Chinatsu decided to move to the balcony attached to the room in order to take a little night breeze.

Haruna, you still have some wieners, huh.

These are the ones I made myself! It was my first time, but they look pretty good, right?

In Harunas hand is the second plate of heaping basil wieners. Perhaps they were stored in the pouch with a storage function, they give off steam and appetizing aroma that indicate that they are freshly made. As Haruna says, they are as good as the ones made by the professional, no, maybe better. However, Chinatsus stomach is full and her self-control stopped her hand, saying that its better to stop considering the time and the calories.

*Nom nom nom*

Its the usual thing, but you sure eat a lot, huh.

Im shorter than average, so its always been a habit of mine to eat as much as I can. Its also necessary to be strong. Even if you are dying, dont forget to eat! My father used to say that~. Especially after training.

Fufu, thats just like him.

Even so, I still havent grown taller and my chest is still flat!

Eh, ah, well.

Is she saying that as a joke? Chinatsu could only give a vague answer even with her fast thinking. If it was Deris, he would have teased her without hesitation.

Haa, we couldnt win, huh.

After emphasizing her lack of chest, Haruna put her cheek on the railing of the balcony and said such things with a sluggish tone.

Oh, its unusual for you to be depressed. Normally, youre always so positive.

Well, its true that we lost to Hund-san, but after that, there was a girl who appeared from the sky, right? That girl, no matter how much I tried, I couldnt sense the bottom of her power. It felt as if I had just finished studying.

That girl the silver-haired girl in a dress who shot that red flash, huh.

Her power sure is on a whole different level. It was unreasonable to measure the bottom of her power, and Chinatsu instantly felt that its impossible to compete against her because her power is too deep. The more she thought about it, the more she bogged down, and before she knew it, she has given up on thinking about it. Different from her, Haruna is still thinking about it, so she unconsciously let out an admiration sigh.

I was surprised that Lily-san was with her. I wonder if they are parent and child? She called her Mama after all.

Come to think of it, they sure look alike, I guess? It may be rude to Lily-senpai, but no matter how you look at it, that girl seems younger. Still, I wonder who is stronger?

Thats another difficult question. But, lets see

Both Lilyvia and Maria are great demon kings who are members of the Great Eight Demons just like Hund. Even the last rank Hund was that powerful. Then, how strong are these girls? With Hund as the standard, Chinatsu thinks it again carefully.

(With the conclusion I made at that time, Hund-san was level 7. If I had to choose one whos closer to that level.)

Chinatsu frowns while thinking, and Haruna is waiting while eating the wieners. Then, she ate all of the homemade wieners.

Its no good, I cant grasp it at all. At least, I can say for sure that the two of them are stronger than Hund-san.

Ahaha, I also stopped thinking around that. Its as hard as math!

If you use that metaphor, then I guess I can feel a sense of familiarity with this difficult problem. Hmm, if I forcibly come up with the answer by skipping the reasoning and basis, Lily-san is closer to Hund-san, I guess? That said, maybe I feel that way because I had many chances to see Lily-sans power.

Then, what about Shish and Nell-san?

I feel like I have black smoke coming out of my head. I think I somewhat understand how Haruna feels now. Setting aside a serious fight, if its a marital quarrel, I think Nell-shish will win in all probability.

Pfft! Ahahahaha! T-Thats probably true!

Haruna cracked up. She was thinking about a serious fight, not a marital quarrel.

Ahaha, thats funny! Still, I somewhat feel refreshed!

Then, thats good. Well, they are at the level where the current us cant grasp no matter how much we think about it.

Thats right. Still, Im starting to see the footprints of Shish. The old footprints that are on the brink of disappearing.

Fufu, whats with that metaphor?

Even though Hund is the last rank, the battle with the Great Eight Demons had steadily improved their strength. Eventually, the day where they reach their masters, Deris and Nell, will come well, its unknown, but the back of her master is reflected in Harunas eyes.

First, revenge on Hund-san! Lets do our best!

No no, hes not someone you can easily meet many times, you know?

The day of their reunion may be surprisingly closer.

The 43rd day of training, ends.
