Watching Bell who decided to face the oncoming assault head-on, Riveria narrowed her eyes.
“Idiot!”
“No, Bell-sama!?”
This was the scold from Bate, whose heart was still not yet matured enough as it finds faults, and the seemingly cries of pain from Lili.
The sounds that came could only into a catalyst to speed up the assault, Bell and the Minotaur’s ears were surrounded by the currents of the winds.
In one breath, the distance was shortened. In their eyes, the opponent’s figure gradually became bigger.
The Large Sword was lifted above the right shoulder, the lone horn turned around and headed towards the right shoulder.
Swinging down and at the same time, lifting up.
It was almost a simultaneous attack.
In a blink of an eye, the ending blow came.
(??)
The sound of the silver pieces breaking apart.
When the Large Sword confronted the Minotaur’s horn, it followed the strength and rushed forward, but in the end, it broke Bell’s sword.
“VOOOOOOO??!”
Weapons will be worn out.
Just like in an expedition, the weapon will eventually become unusable.
A Sword that was not maintained completely will be worn out.
During the period where it was imprisoned in the Dungeon for a week.
After Ottar, then it was a Minotaur, the Silver Large Sword’s durability was reduced significantly by these two individuals who swung using brute strength and had finally reached its limits.
Near the handle, it was gradually crushed into powder and the blade itself flew in a completely unknown direction.
On the Minotaur’s horn, there was not even a single injury.
Silver rain-like dust flew within Bell’s vision.
He attempted to use the bladeless Sword to throw a slash to the right, but what it cut was just thin air.
The horn headed left while maintaining the posture it had when it destroyed the Sword, Bell and the Minotaur slid past each other.
In Bell’s eyes, what reflected was the appearance of a grim smile from the Minotaur.
It was not a smile that mocks the loser, but a resolute smile that a victor desires.
Facing the enemy that has already lost it trump card, the Minotaur saw a guaranteed victory.
The white bangs quietly covered the crimson eyes.
The time seems to pass slowly and the Minotaur also gradually disappeared from within his sight.
(My trump card??)
Bell, he,
(??Is HERE!!)
Pulled the pitched black dagger out.
The Monster violent braked.
The Minotaur, that was in a position nearby, desperately tried to offset the inertia of the assault.
Ignoring the burden due to the excessive use of his knees, it turned its body around.
The position of both sides were basically back to back. The Basic Ability
Wielding the
The Minotaur that was aiming at the corner of the upper body, stopped and let out rapid attacks.
“HAA!”
“VOOO!?”
Using the centrifugal force to achieve its maximum power. Towards this sudden attack, the Minotaur’s posture trembled and fell to the side.
Afterwards, Bell inserted the black blade further into the Monster’s body, and instilled all his body’s strength into it ?? The sound of explosions immediately sounded out.
“Fire Bolt!”
Dogon, the Minotaur’s entire body began to twitch.
As if the body had an explosion inside, the thick chest muscles swelled up.
The wound that the dagger pierced overflowed clusters of small flames, the Minotaur’s bloodshot eyes widened to its limit.
“Fire Bolt!”
It swelled further.
Even if it was absurd, the Minotaur’s upper body seems like a balloon and was constantly growing.
Although this body was able to negate the effects of Magic on its skin, but there was no way to defend from within its body.
The lightning flames, that used the blade to enter the body, rampaged recklessly and directly scorched the Minotaur.
The flames that had nowhere to go attempted to find an exit, and poured through the throat.
Cough, the scarlet flames sprayed out from the nose and the mouth.
“Gaha, haha ……!? Ch……OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!?”
The Minotaur, that had its throat burned, issued a roar and lifted its huge arm and swung it down towards Bell, who was a short distance away.
An elbow attack using its powerful strength.
It is a hammer that will undoubtedly turn Bell’s body into meat pieces.
Death, it will come after a second.
Before the hammer touched his head, in this moment.
Bell was faster.
“FIRE BOLLTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!”
An explosion.
“????????????????????!?”
A tragic death howl burst opened, the Minotaur’s upper body became pieces and flew everywhere.
The inside body that compressed the heat also erupted, and accompanied by a roaring sound, a flame flower bloomed.
The scarlet flames and the smoke gradually rose to the Dungeon’s ceiling. It made all the witnesses think of a scene of a volcano erupting, and the lower body that was barely its original appearance fell down on the ground.
What fell down was a rain of blood and meat.
The hundreds or thousands of the charred meat added color to the flame smoke.
The Bull’s pieces followed by the sound, fell down one after another on the ground.
In the high altitude, a Large Magic Stone was dancing and rotated as it stabbed into the ground.
* * *
“He actually won……”
Bate murmured while being stunned.
As if he could not believe what he saw, he stared at Bell who was standing in front of him
He turned to himself again and questioned the inquiry of that boy calling for help.
When was it that his growth enabled him to overwhelm the Minotaur?
No, how much time did it take for him to defeat that Monster by himself?
While trying to think of the answers, Bate’s face and body seemed to be boiled as turned completely red.
Uncontrollable anxiety and embarrassment surged through every corner of his body from his stomach.
“……Mind Zero”
“H…He fainted while standing……”
Looking at the motionless Bell, who maintained the posture of swinging
Towards the burned out figure of the boy, there was even some fear.
It was just like a picture of a scene directly taken from a legend, the Adventurer had turned into a statue.
“……! Answer my questions, Hobbit! What on earth is that brat……!?”
“Bell-sama……Bell-sama!”
“Hey!? ……Tch!”
Towards Lili who threw out footsteps and ran, Bate was left speechless.
Due to the indescribable emotional anxiety, he revealed an expression as if he ate something bitter. At this moment, that scene entered his vision.
The back of Bell, whose defense armor was already broken. The ragged black tights were currently tattered. It was only thanks to the remains between the shoulders that allowed the cloth to be barely connected together.
Then, under the thin cloth, there were many holes. The engraved
“??! Riveria, tell me that brat’s
“……Are you telling me to p
eek, you.”
The muscles that Bell revealed were only the upper half of his back.
Not only could you not see the
“He is blatantly exposing it, how is it called peeking! Even if you leave it like that, if you don’t look, someone else would!”
You just happened to see, and you did not break the rules, this was what Bate was suggesting. Riveria, who was yelled at loudly, walked over to interpret the
At the same time the knowledgeable elf sighed, as expected she was interested, her gaze wandered around the vicinity of Bell’s back.
Her emerald-colored eyes chased the group black text.
“Hey, are you still not yet finished/”
“Wait a minute, I’ll soon finish reading ??“
Riveria said up to this point, then it stopped.
Bate had a surprised look, Tiona and the others who were eavesdropping also headed towards her.
Shortly after, the sound of wind chimes-like laughter came from her mouth.
“…….Ku…Fufu…Hahaha.”
“What, hey!? Really, Aizu, you can also read a bit of
In the bottom of his heart, Bate revealed an ferocious expression towards Riveria who seemed to be laughing ludicrously with trembling shoulders. He then turned the problem to Aizu.
She did not move, as if she could not see anything but the boy, she fixed her gaze onto his shoulder.
The golden eyes assumed a sharp demeanor like a sword.
“……S.”
“……Ha?”
“All of the basic abilities are S.”
“All S?”
Bate and Tiona both unanimously issued out a shocked voice. This time, they were really speechless.
Actually, the basic ability from
However, there was also a fact that she did not tell Bate and the others.
What was also stuck in Riveria’s throat, SS ??This Basic ability that surpassed the limits made people doubt their own eyes.
“What’s his name?”
A calm voice broke the silence.
It rang out.
After the sound was issued, aside from Aizu, the other people’s gaze all gathered over.
Under the numerous gazes, Finn used his spear to tap his own shoulder.
The calm eyes that stared at the human Adventurer suddenly changed to look at Bate and the others. The serious gaze was seeking the name of the boy.
“What is his name?”
“I…I don’t know……Never heard of it……”
“……Riveria. How long do you plan to laugh?”
“Fufu……Ahhh, sorry. Then, what is it?”
“Read his
“Ahah, that’s right. Wait……”
A contract exists in the
In order to let the
Riveria prepared to read the names listed and narrowed her eyes. At this moment, before she could speak.
Aizu uttered the name.
“Bell.”
“Aizu……”
A quiet voice echoed in the surroundings.
The posture still did not change.
Towards Tiona’s voice, Aizu did not turn back and continued to focus her consciousness to the boy’s body.
“Bell Cranel.”
He was not a pebble on the roadside, what was reflected in the golden eyes was clearly a boy’s figure.

This was what happened 3 days ago, it greatly renewed the record of achieving Lv.2 and the world’s fastest rabbit was born.
Epilogue:
Page 0 -> Page 1
The sounds of crying echoed.
His throat was sobbing again and again, the tears were also fallen down in large, large drops. He tightly held onto the big, big chest. It was the sound of a child crying.
Also, banging that child’s head and holding the child, who was covered in blood and bruises, was a burly old man.
“Does it hurt, Bell?”
Hearing the sympathetic sound coming from above his head, the child first nodded, then he shook his head. In the end, he began to cry once again.
The old man could not help but reveal a smile. He continued to hug that child who was trembling.
“So that’s why I told you not to run outside of the village. Seeing you being made tattered by a Goblin, it made this old man terrified.”
A nostalgic voice. A nostalgic action. A nostalgic smile.
He could not see and touch that person’s figure again. Even during dusk, he was exceptionally bright.
“However, you must bear it. You did not lose to that Monster. Lift up your chest.”
The burning, crimson-like sky had a glowing golden light spread across the boundless plains.
In this beautiful scenery that he recognized from before, that person’s stable and calm words were all said towards the child in his arms.
That must be a piece of memory that he could not recall.
Opening your eyes, he would forget it. The oldest, the most worrying, past desire.
Something that could not be replaced, the childish and faint longing.
“Very cool, Bell.”
Towards that big smile, the child cried out once more.
His head was hazy and tears continued to overflow. His eyes reflected the expression of longing.
While lifting his head and looking at that person’s face nearby, he made an oath using the sounds of tears.
The young child’s movement of his lips and the voice of me, who was standing outside. Only the form of the words had changed, but the rest perfectly overlapped each other.
I wanted to become like you.
I wanted to become a person that is as strong as you, who saved me.
I wanted to be like you, my only hero.
“Too small, too small. Instead of making this old man as the goal, why not aim for something bigger.”
Then, if I am able to become like the heroes in the legends.
If I am able to become those people, who were blessed by everyone.
Will you like me.
Will you be proud of me.
Will you be happy?
“Ahhh, I will be extremely glad that I can’t close my mouth. You are this old man’s grandson. I will like to show you off to others, laugh out loud now and no matter when, I am still proud of you.
Then I. If that’s the case, I. There will be no mistaken, I.
If you are protecting me no matter what time from the skies above, then you are my only……
“No matter when, I will protect you. No matter when, I will think about you. So, don’t say it is for this old man.”
Revealing a face filled with wrinkles, that person’s face smiled.
“If you’re a man, then chase after the butts of the women. If you are a man, then rush forward for the women. Let the other people see your heroic figure. Continue to advance forward.”
Then, that person, with a transparent look said.
“As long as it is for the person you are attracted to, it does not matter whether you are a hero or not. You can do anything.”
The red and golden scene gradually disappeared far away.
My vision was gradually surrounded by the night. I used all my strength to stretch my hand out. In the depths of the light, that person finally said this sentence.
“If I have to say why, it is because you are the grandson, of this old
man, that I am proud of.”

“What kind of dream did you have, Bell-kun……”
Looking at the tears that went across Bell’s face, Hestia quietly asked.
On the bed of the treatment facility in Babel, her own dependent was quietly sleeping. He was transported by that golden hair, golden eyed girl. The Supporter girl was also there. The sound of calm breathing melted into the silent interior.
Passing through the trials of an extremely vicious fight, on the face of the boy that achieved victory, there was no expression. It was extremely peaceful.
“……Even though there are still lots of words that I must say.”
The tears from the corner of his eyes was gently wiped away by Hestia’s fingers.
Her lips parted and in front of the boy that was in deep sleep, she slowly revealed a calm smile.
“You’ve worked hard……Congratulations.”
After calmly looking around, Hestia gently lifted Bell’s bang and gave a kiss on his forehead.
The Goddess, who had her cheeks dyed slightly red, looked at the legend engraved on the back of the boy and narrowed her eyes.

It is actually an expert-class weapon. It is more than enough for a rookie Adventurer to use.
It is a dishonest Hobbit, who wanted to at least make up for Bell, and bought it. Of course, there is a price for returning it.
