The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World - Chapter 13
Side: Morishita Daiki
The time has become 7 p.m.
When I went outside the sun was setting and the city was starting to be illuminated by the moonlight and street lights.
Along the way to the school from the coffee lounge I stopped by and picked up a rock as big as my palm.
“What did you pick up, Morishita-kun?”
“It’s okay if you don’t mind it. You’ll understand later.”
At that time
【Skill：Concealment has activated】
【Skill：Optical disguise has activated】
【Skill：Soft steps has activated】
【Skill：Spatial divide has activated】
God’s voice was doing work.
Well, I could activate them manually but I might carelessly forget some.
Certainly, I don’t want anybody seeing what we are about to be doing here.
“This is… concealing technique? It’s not my speciality… However, I can understand how superb it is.”
“I’m not anything like an expert in it either.”
And then, we had arrived at the school’s rooftop.
And I took out the most familiar item of the different world.
“Item box.”
Accompanied by a Voon sound the item box materialized from nothing.
“What is… that?”
“It’s an item box. It’s connected to a different dimension in the inside and you can store anything in it. Well, it’s fine if you think it like a warehouse that can store a ton of items…”
“Such a messed-up… Wait, no, it’s not good to be surprised by each and every thing you do.”
While leaning on the rooftop’s fence with her back she was fiddling with her black long hair and asked me.
“Then, what do you intend to take out?”
“I trapped it for emergency usage.”
‘
“Trapped what…?”
“Yeah… It’s appetizing.”
I took out an orc from the item box and threw at the edge of the roof.
Size of around 190 cm and weight of 240 kilos
A monster with a size that gives the feeling of a wrestler.
The orc looked at the situation and solidified on the spot.
Abeno-senpai made an astonished expression.
“Pig… Monster? And this spiritual force… It’s not some small fry!”
It’s just a normal orc.
No, well relatively it should be high grade due to being the Orc leader?
For the time being, it’s an opponent where a novice adventurer can hunt by themselves with a lot of effort.
“For now, I think that if you defeat it a wonderful thing will occur.”
“It’s so sudden I can’t believe it but…”
“Well, defeat it and see for yourself.”
“By the way… this is a fairly strong monster. It’s not that I can’t do it alone but the risk is too high. And I don’t want to end it like an embarrassing defeat.”
“It’s okay in the worst case I’ll follow you up. But, I won’t help you until it becomes so. The meaning is for you to defeat it by yourself.”
The xp gets allocated by the contribution of people in the team.
There’s no meaning if it’s defeated by me.
“Is it truly alright? Can I trust you?”
I hit my palm.
“Then, do you want to use this?”
I took out a container from the item box and in it was the bundled silk of the earth spider.
“It’s known that orcs have low intelligence. And this item will be like birdlime. If you do an ambush by setting the silk on the ground and then tripping it up.”
“And then when it gets up it is going to be in a swamp of silk because of its struggling…”
“Just like that. And its weakness it’s the back of the head. It has a huge defensive power so if you try to go upfront I think it will become a mudslinging contest between both of you.”
Abeno-senpai tried to take the container from my hands and then shook her head.
“What’s wrong?”
“I have no intention of letting you holding my hand for everything. I’m your message friend, equal to the end!”
Abeno-senpai took out a dozen tokens from her bosom and loaded them with thoughts.
And then she threw 8 of them to the Orc Leader.
*Peshi* *Peshi* and were clinging to the arms and hands of the Orc Leader.
「Talisman Art：Kiln of the dead」
From the concrete ground countless arms appeared and coiled around the orc’s hands and feet.
He tried to remove them with force but it doesn’t work since there are many of them.
The orc couldn’t move freely and it was just swaying around in confusion.
「Flaming Talisman Art：The dance of birds and flowers.」
She fired 6 talismans that changed to flaming birds and went after the Orc.
The orcs have an instinctual fear of fire so it’s plenty enough to mentally stir the orc.
“You’re good.”
At the time I was saying it with admiration, before I noticed her Abeno-senpai managed to creep on the Orc’s back.
And then, Abeno-senpai stabbed the orc in the back of his head with a short sword she hid who knows where.
The orc had its cerebellum destroyed and fell to the ground.
“You magnificently did it.”
I truly think so.
Stopping it’s legs, even the flame… all were a decoy.
It was a strategy constructed from the very start so that she can decide with it one strike in the back of the head.
“The tactics I used until now for destroying the 1000 smaller monsters weren’t effective. I’m glad I’m not an ameteur.”
I thought senpai’s strength was around a novice adventurer but it might be slightly higher if I consider her battle sense based upon experience.
“However, can I truly become stron-, Eeh?”
Her eyes opened wide while grabbing her heart with her right hand.
Okay, the XP is properly being absorbed by senpai.
“How does it feel?”
“Overflowing…”
It seems she answered by reflex.
That’s right, you get a power flowing in you feeling the moment you level up.
I haven’t experienced it more than 50 times for just show so I can understand how senpai feels.
“Senpai? Is it okay to check the status?”
“…Okay.”
Name：Kaguya＝Abeno
Race：Human
Occupation：Shrine maiden
Current state：Normal
Level：１→４
ＨＰ ：３５２/３５２→５０１/５０１
ＭＰ ：３７８/３７８→５５２/５５２
Offensive power：２８４→４０７
Defensive power：２４２→３３３
Magical power ：３２８→４５５
Evasion ：２４７→３３５
Allright, it seems her level has increased by a lot.
While the level is low then the exp to level up is low as well so it goes up faster.
And on top of it, and if you defeat a high-grade enemy then you also get unreasonable exp, that’s what happened this time.
By the way the orc’s level is 9 so if it was as normal then senpai should’ve never had the chance to beat it.
Normally, this result being occurred by doing it single handedly is astronomically low even if you risk your life.
That’s why she leveled up so much in one go.
Well, her status increased by 1.5 times as I promised.
I don’t understand well, but she has circumstances where she must get stronger as fast as possible or else.
The orc was the last in my inventory, however if it’s not enough there’s that forbidden method as a last resort… Fui, being relieved I rubbed my chest.
“Catch, senpai”
I threw the stone at senpai the one which I had picked up on the way earlier.
“A stone?”
“Senpai increased her own physical strength with her art, right?”
Senpai raised her status with effort.
And those arts just like the magician ones in the different world should have off and on switches.
Senpai gulped and nodded like she understood my intentions.
“Then, how is it senpai?”
“My strength currently should be that of an average female student, however… How do I put it… It’s strange for me to say this since I’m already an exorcist, however…”
She crushed the stone like styrofoam while having a bewitching smile on her mouth.
“I feel like I’ve stopped being human.”
