Chapter 340 A Very Fun Playing in the Water

The 62nd day of training.

Uwaah, they are still drinking.

Whats wrong, Nell?

No, just talking to myself. Its so stupid that I dont even want to explain it.

?

A day has passed since the meeting. When the girls were training, Nell suddenly said such a thing. I wonder if she sensed some kind of presence? But the only people who can drink in this city are me, Nell, and Hund-kun, right?

Hmm. It seems that Hund still has the upper hand in the underwater battle. Did they not train hard enough?

They can put a good fight one-on-one against the champion of the sea, so you should praise them there.

Todays training, as mentioned before, is a serious match against Hund-kun. However, the place for the match is in an enclosed place filled with water. Since its a place with reinforced glass, we can watch the training from outside like this. The three girls are wearing swimsuits, and they are taking turns to fight against Hund-kun. The girls are now on par with him in terms of status, but this is an underwater field, which is his specialty. The girls cant move as they want, but on the other hand, Hund-kuns momentum keeps increasing. The girls are only on the defensive, but its still better that they dont faint.

Hund-kun, who changed into a from specializing in underwater, is in the form of a giant snake, or maybe a long-body type dragon. The surface of his body is covered with tough scales, and he attacks with his sharp fangs and claws while accelerating through the water. Just like when hes on land, he fights using his body. The girls, who are at a disadvantage because of their environment, somehow managed to fight back using the powers that Hund-kun doesnt have, such as their specialized weapons, magic, and ki.

The disadvantageous environment is something you should eliminate by your own power, right? If it were me, I would vaporize all the water first to prepare the battlefield.

That only works for you. Well, they are fighting by using whatever they can use, such as sprinkling poison in the water and making invisible walls. Oh, its about time. They will out of breath if we prolong it. Heeey, Zeeex!

Fuhaha, I know! Drainage, start!

Zex pushes the nearby button with high spirits, and Zeta is watching him with sparkling eyes from behind. It seems that they are enjoying their lives as always.

When Zex pushed the button, the water in the room where Haru and Zex were fighting began to be drained. That signaled the end of the training, and they bowed to each other. It was somewhat surreal to see them bowing in the water.

Puhaa! Whew, Hund-san is strong after all, so its worthwhile! Ill win next time!

Being assertive is Harunas strong point, but this field is my specialty. You cant defeat me that easily.

Haru, who has come out of the water, is having a reflection meeting with Hund, who has returned to his humanoid body. Hund is as serious as Chinatsu, so he pleasantly accepts Haru, whos a lump of ambition. Hes is a very good rival, telling her his impression of the poison, showing her a better way to swim, etc.

As expected of someone who leads a lot of subordinates, Hund-kun is thoughtful and hes good at taking care of others.

Hes also the kind of person who cant refuse when asked. Lets see, next is Chinatsu, right?

No, its already the third rotation. Lets take a break. Look, those two are like that.

Behind me and Nell, Chinatsu and Touko, who had finished training with Hund, are lying on the bench.

Haa, haa. Fighting underwater is more tiring than I expected.

Im not bad at swimming, but this is really hard!

The two of them, wearing a jacket on their swimsuit, are extremely exhausted. They were doing the same underwater training as Haru, whos also good at swimming that she was called the Small Mermaid, so its no wonder that they are exhausted.

I dont care about it, but why did a helper, whos not even a regular member of the club, get such a grand nickname? Well, I think its not strange since its Haru were talking about.

Hmm. This is a good experiment that will lead to my training as well. Humans are creatures that cant live in water, so this is quite interesting.

Creativity, hard work, and willpower are important for humans~

Oh, it seems that Haru and Hund-kun have returned.

Demon King Hund, good work. Im sorry that we made you fight the three by turns in quick succession.

Dont worry, I dont get tired if its underwater. Also, you dont have to use honorific each time you call me. Feel free to call me Hund.

Is that so? Were going to take a break for a while, but well see you later. Hund-kun!

Hey, isnt that too casual?

Not at all. In my mind, Ive been calling you Hund-kun for quite some time. Now that youve given your permission, Ill call you Hund-kun, of course.

Im looking forward to fighting you again, Hund-kun!

When Haru called him using kun, its strange that Hund-kun looks like an old-faced high school student.

Haruna, you too. No, youre just being friendly with me. Okay, Ill allow you to call me that.

Thank you, Hund-kun!

Thank you very much, Hund-kun!

If possible, Id prefer you didnt call me that in front of my men.

He compromised as much as he can. When Hund-kuns name was decided, there was someone who entered the room. It was Alezel, with her hop-step gait.

Heya~. How are you doing~?

Ara, Alezel, you came at the right timing. Can you teach them how to fight in the water?

What? Me? Why? You can just teach them yourself, right?

My solution is not helpful after all. Here, youre probably the most suitable after Lilyvia.

Dont just decide it. I dont wanna go in the water.

Please dont force her. I may be inferior on land, but underwater is my specialty. Theres no need to make her lose face unnecessarily, right?

No, that aint what I mean. Its easy to win, but swimsuits show your body lines, right? Aint it embarrassing?

Well, theres no need to be embarrassed.

Hey, Hund-han. I feel like we aint on the same wavelength~. I had everyone in the elf village call me the Extreme Speed Siren, so you will get hurt if you underestimate my swimming, yknow?

A strange nickname came out again. Wait, hmm? You had them call you that?

W-Well, setting the details aside, Im sure the other Great Eight Demons can defeat Hund-kun easily even if its underwater. Lilyvia will fight while acting as the best swimmer in the world, and Zex will use a body that can be used underwater. Rimudo will overturn everything with his size, so it cant even be called a battle. As for Maria, vampires are weak to seawater or running water, but common sense doesnt work on that fake little girl. So, unfortunately, Hund-kun has no chance to win. He also cant win against Alezel.

Hmm, since this many people have gathered, I want to do something that can be done with this number.

Still, asking for something unreasonable is no good, okay?

I know. Im a woman who grows up as a master, you know? Its hard and fun in moderation, right? Ah, thats right!

Nell clapped her hands as if she came up with something. At the same time, I confirmed that Chinatsu suddenly got up from the bench. I hope she doesnt make a mistake in the degree of difficulty.
