"...Oy, Takeru... where are we going exactly?"
"Fenrir Mountain range. A place infamous for being a den of powerful monsters which do not appear anywhere else. The majority are animal-based but long-lived ones usually mutated to be more sentient-like. They also have more than one Stigma to cover their weakness and multiply their strength."
"......and why are we going there? Fei is still knocked out cold."
"That guy doesn't need to train at his current state unlike you. To raise your strength till the necessary requirements. Your goal is to swing around tree with your finger."
"In five years?"
"In one year. This is just the Basic Training before the real regime."
Ho... I see. So you really DO intend to make me vomit blood and reflect breathes of a White Dragon. This messed up Hermit was really ridiculous that I could only sigh. Well... I do want to be strong but I doubt Fei would allow me after my recent recklessness. Even so, the more important problem is-
"Then why am I carrying your luggage as well!!? This thing is damn heavy and I have to bring weapons as well!! Are you trying to stall my growth rate!!?"
"Well... being small is actually more convenient than being noticeably big."
"Shut up, you damn lolicon! Stop trying to push your crazy belief to children as if trying to make the ideal woman of your life!!"
"What are you saying!!? Being small is perfect you know!? It's all about the convenience, compactness and comfortableness when a little girl sits on your lap!! And I'm no Lolicon!!"
"No, you literally blurted out the fact you're a Lolicon, accursed Hentai!! And I refuse to sit on your lap, you perverted pedophile!! Not in three million years and three hundred nights! No way!! No chance in hell! NOT EVEN IF I DIE FOR A THOUSAND TIMES, YOU SON OF A BIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTCCCCCHHHH!!!"
We went 'gya gya gyaa!' like idiots. Creating loud noises everywhere till we reached the foot of the mountain. Of course, after the verbal insults and arguments, my throat was parched but suddenly the ground trembled.
"Wah!?An-an earthquake?!!"-I nearly fell while shouting like that. If I didn't pay attention, I would have been squashed by the huge luggage I was carrying!
In fact, I already looked like some Supporter from a dungeon-crawling based light novel. Minus the cloak and ragged impression for the obvious fact. Still-
"...nope. That's not it. Looks like there's an uninvited guest......"
Whaaatt......? I looked at the place where Takeru was peering at and we-was greeted by a green giant towering over five meters exiting the shades of tall trees. What the hell!? An enemy!!?
"-Nah, guess it's not it either. So you truly survived huh?"
"Eh...?" I tilted my head and suddenly, the humongous monster swayed to the sides.
Then... I saw its huge body bent and falling down like a chopped tree. It produced a terrible sound and I was literally thrown to the sky for a few moments.
*CRASH!* Guweh!? H-help! The-the luggage... the luggage is crushing me to death!! Someone...! Help me!! HELP!!!
"......human. Is this it? This guy's not so much of a challenge."
"Hah! You took your time fairly well that I thought you died. Still, you look nothing like what you proudly exclaimed. Had some sudden troubles?"
"...shut it. There was just some interference that I never thought still existed."
