Chapter 21: The Fun of Winter

"Hello, Mr. Zeor."

"You're here, Hua Wuming. Oh, isn't that a red-billed duck, did you kill it? ”

"I've always been grateful to you, so it's a gift."

"I see, it just so happens that I made noodles this morning, and after training, let's cook soup with this guy and eat it."

"Sounds good"

Mr. Zeor's training continued after the New Year.

It's been a month since I started to stand and close, and I still haven't paid attention to it once, and I haven't even taken a single step.

"Hua Wuming, it's difficult to walk in the snow, so I'm going to lift the ban on the magic of making scaffolding."

"Thank you. But I don't know if I'll regret it. ”

"Hehe, it's interesting, let's have fun."

When meeting with Mr. Zeor, it is forbidden to use attribute magic and physical enhancement magic.

This is purely to improve his stick skills and physical strength, but when he usually wields it himself, he also uses celestial magic.

This is training to improve the power of the demon, and it is also a hypothetical actual battle.

During last year's riots, I discovered that even I could beat kobolds in one-on-one situations if I was caught off guard.

I want to eat the heart of a monster that is said to enhance mana, so I want to conquer a goblin or kobold one day.

Of course, it won't be easy to defeat them, and even if you do, you'll have to finish demolitioning them before your comrades arrive.

Therefore, he trains himself to be able to make the most of the means at his disposal.

Today, I was allowed to use only the steps, so I wanted to give Mr. Zeor a small surprise.

"Go"

As always, use the springs on your knees to step forward to hit the ball.

Mr. Zeor also casually raised my cane, as usual.

The difference here is that you can use the momentum of being bounced up to jump high and swing the stick.

"What are you idiots doing!"

Aiming at my stomach in mid-air, Mr. Zeor's expression became surprised the next moment, and he stabbed unceremoniously.

Taking advantage of this step, he jumped to the right, dodging the stab, and swung his stick at Mr. Zeor's shoulder.

With a dry sound, my typing was rejected, but Mr. Zeor took his left leg and turned to face me.

"This guy didn't expect it to be so troublesome."

"Finally, I can finally take half a step."

"Interesting, interesting Hua Wuming!"

Mr. Zeor smiled and bared his fangs, raising his cane for the first time.

To put it bluntly, it is a feeling of fighting spirit gushing out of my body, and if it was me a year ago, I would have been incontinent a long time ago.

"Come on! Hua Wuming! ”

"Woooooooooooo

I was going to show off the three-dimensional moves I'd been training all along, but Mr. Zeor started using footwork, and it didn't work.

You can freely create scaffolding in the air, but if the feet of the created scaffolding are cut down, you have no choice but to fly up or backwards.

If I fly backwards, my Reebok shatters the distance, and if I fly upwards, my attacks are unreachable due to the difference in distance.

In the end, he was knocked down, pushed away, rolled around, and covered in mud.

"Alright, that's all for today.

"Thank you"

I expected it to be covered in mud, so I only wore shorts when we worked.

When your body is rinsed off, take a shower, wash off the mud and rinse your shorts.

After draining my body and pinching my tail, I entered my separate room and a large towel flew towards me.

"Wipe your body clean and don't catch a cold."

"I got it"

After wiping off the water with a towel, wring it out and wiping it off to make the coat smooth.

While I was taking a bath, Mr. Zeor began to prepare the soup and wash the red-legged duck.

I put the slaughtered red-headed duck neck and bones in a large pot and put it on the fire.

At this time of year, red-tailed turtles store nutrients in subcutaneous fat, so they are very tasty, but they are very discreet and difficult to catch unless you are a skilled archer.

"The soup will take a while to come out.

"Thank you. Ah, it tastes good. ”

"Right"

When Zeor first made me tea, I felt that it tasted like good medicine, but it was bitter in my mouth.

"Is there ginger in there too?"

"Hou, you also noticed, yes, it warms up your body."

The amount of ginger is also not enough to spoil the taste of the tea, and the aroma comes in from the nose when you put it in your mouth.

"Even so, I didn't expect you to have such a high level of mastery of celestial magic."

"But at first it just surprised me, and then it was very helpless."

"Hahahaha, of course. Although I am gentle, I am the one who is ready to swing the stick. ”

"Well, even if it's just Mr. Zeor taking a stand, today can be regarded as a step forward."

"Originally, you could only use stick magic to improve your skills, but for Hua Wuming, I will also allow you to use scaffolding magic in the future.

For Mr. Zeor, teaching me wrestling was to ease the boredom of rural life, but I had no complaints, because I was taught by a skilled former adventurer.

"Looks like you're used to one eye."

"Huh?"

"What, didn't you notice? During the meeting, you reacted normally to attacks on the left, right? ”

"Ahh

"I didn't notice it at all."

Having said that, from the moment Mr. Zeor stood up, he was expanding the range of his attack little by little.

"I'm still far from the master, but my face is slightly tilted to the left, which naturally hides my blind spot."

"I'm always so focused on myself that I don't realize it."

"If you keep training as you do now, you should be fine in most one-on-one fights.

"Yes, the shield I showed you earlier has increased in strength, so I'm thinking of using my shield to cover my blind spots."

"I understand that even if you have two eyes, you can't completely eliminate blind spots. I'm confused. ”

"Indeed, even if you have eyes, you can't see the back of your head."

In the case of normal magic attributes, it is difficult to cover the blind zone with magic.

Come to think of it, I seem to have a great advantage over ordinary adventurers who can use the sky attribute.

"So, the soup should be almost ready, let's cook the noodles, shall we?"

Mr. Zeor makes noodles that resemble those of Huaxia.

The boiled soup is served separately in a pot, vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and green onions, as well as sliced red otter meat, and finally the raw noodles are tossed.

The flour used to make the noodles thickens the soup.

The seasoning is simple, just salt and ginger.

"Alright, alright, eat it before it's cold."

It is a style of putting a cauldron on the table and eating as much as you want.

"It's hot, it's hot, but it's delicious."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's so hot!"

Although it is freshly made, both Tiger Man Zeor and Cat Man I have cat tongues, so I can't eat without fu-fu.

The taste was perfect, but it took me a long time to eat it.
