The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World Chapter 12

Side: Abeno Kaguya

"Awa… Awawawawa…"

I lost standing from being too surprised and sat on the floor.

And Morishitkun lent me his hand and talked.

"Shall we go and have coffee? Both of us have many things to talk about…"

And then.

We went to the nearest coffee lounge and spoke frankly.

Well, even if I say speaking frankly, I left out the part about shrine maiden offering selection to the Wrathful God.

No matter how fast we became mail friends, I think that there are things that need to be kept…

For now, the family dispute… I've kept the competition of number of subjugations between family members.

And I was surprised when I heard his situation.

Frankly, I tried to treat it like a joke.

But, my own existence can be treated something like from a fantasy by an ordinary person… so I've put it on hold based upon the judgement of dubiety.

Side: Morishita Daiji

And like that… I'm drinking coffee together with Abeno-senpai at the coffee lounge.

The impressions of her talking honestly I had were

Oi, oi, seriously?

Along that line.

I hadn't thought that on the reverse side of the world another existed there…

Er, no, my own existence is fantastical so I don't really have any privilege to critique.

I think that she isn't lying so for now I shall conclude her words as authentic.

"Ehm… Abeno-senpai?"

"What is it?"

"About the earth spider which you talked about earlier… Is it fine to say it was a strong monster?"

"Yes."

Uumu… I tilted my head.

The earth spider is strong as the big spider in the different world and it's not a monster a novice from the adventurer guild can't defeat.

Well, on the other hand, a veteran can handle it themselves alone…

"Abeno-senpai? I want to appraise your current status but…"

"Status apprai…sal?"

"That's right. If you don't like, then we can leave it at that. It's a skill that doesn't work if you don't have consent."

【Skill：Status appraisal has activated】

For an instant, Abeno-senpai's eyes were open wide and she lightly nodded.

Okay, it seems she has given me permission to read her status.

And in the next moment Abeno-senpai's status flowed in my head.

By the way, my status is like this.

Name: Morishita Daiki

Race: Human

MP: 1850/1850

And this is the status of a level 1 human in the different world.

Skills

Abeno Exorcism Talisman Techniques (Level 3)

Aikido (Level 2)

Swordsmanship (Level 2)

Enhance Body (Level 2)

Enhance reflexes (Level 2)

Despite being level 1 but I can recognize it as wonderful status.

Rather, these stats weren't raised by level-up bonus but through pure effort.

In that sense, it's really amazing but…

Well, to be frank it's no more surprising than a novice setting out.

In terms of adventurer levels, she's somewhere around 6~8?

Also, her skill levels are meager.

In the other world you can level up your swordsmanship and magic just by training.

But, to the end that's supportive.

In the other world the simplest approach to increasing your skill levels is to raise them with the stats bonuses from leveling up.

"So to sum it all up, Abeno-senpai is the failure in her family… And you want to become stronger, right?"

"For me to be called a failure by a bastard like you… unexpectedly it's frustrating. Since it's true I can't refute it."

"Bastard? Not bitch bastard?"

"I'm smitten a bit by it so I recognize your strength. So you've been upgraded from bitch bastard to bastard. Be happy."

Smitten by it!?

This is her being smitten!?

Well, certainly the nuances of her words have increased by bit in cutesy.

"And, you're troubled you can't become stronger, right? I don't understand the thing about family succession well but if you're last place in the subjugation tournament which is held once every few days… You'll be in trouble, right?"

"Er, it's as you say… If I don't become stronger I'll be in trouble. The problem is that …"

I nodded my head while thinking for a bit.

I called the store clerk for the bill.

"Well then, senpai? Shall we go to the school's rooftop?"

"Rooftop? Why?"

"You want to become strong, right?"

"What do you mean…?"

"There's no concept of level up and experience points in this world."

That's right. That's why Abeno-senpai's level is 1.

Practically, I haven't gotten any experience points from the times I defeated the Kuchisake woman or the earth spider…

In the otherworld when I killed monsters a faint bright particles would emerge from their corpses and would gather in my heart.

Those particles are the very soul of the monster you've defeated.

Basically, you take their soul into yourself, no that's wrong.

If I put it even more frankly, you absorb the soul of the defeated enemy and strengthen your soul and this phenomenon is called leveling up.

"Level….? Experience?"

In japan you can't defeat monsters nor level up.

But, if you defeat a monster from a different world then you can level up.

That's why I can boast immense power that's why no matter how much Abeno-senpai struggles… her strength can only be amazing if you consider it only for "Level 1".

But.

Me and other world are nothing special… It's just that this world has no experience points.

In that case, Abeno-senpai is…

"Leave it to me. I have an amazing plan. If all works well then you'll become stronger by 1.5 times. And in just… several hours."
