The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World Chapter 67

Side: Abeno Kaguya

On the way back to the city I was walking through the grassland.

"For the time being, Abeno-senpai has acquired equal power to lower C-rank adventurers. That can be said you gained power to lower ranking veteran adventurers."

"But am I really getting stronger like this? It's equal to 5 years of training in our world."

"Rather than that, is everything okay?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"You've promised to share a bed with that C-rank adventurer, right?"

"Now that I remember, he said he likes the hole behind. It's okay."

"How is that anywhere near okay?"

"Earlier, I slept for about 2 hours in the woodlands. And while I was sleeping… I arrived at the conclusion that it would be okay."

"What are you talking about?"

"Before I went to sleep… I've talked about always expanding since while back, right?"

"You're making dirty jokes even when you've had come to this world!?"

"Yes, it's a dirty joke. So, it wasn't just a while back… This time I also extended my fingers to my buttocks."

"Eh…"

"Basically you know, Morishitkun?"

"What is it?"

"…Until now, I was no-mark in the behind, but…"

I became silent.

Then I took deep breaths and talked.

"It's not bad as one would believe it is."

"Did you obtain enlightenment!?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Rather, you solved nothing with that!"

"In the worst case scenario, it won't be too painful. I hate pain. Basically, this is a huge improvement, Morishitkun."

"I'm extremely worried, but… Well, for now just return to the city. But, is really everything okay?"

"I'm thinking a lot about that so don't worry."

"Is it really?"

And a vibrating noise *Gidododo* reached my ears.

I looked where it came from and there was one org dashing tremendously in the grassland.

He was not even fazed by me, he was just running around…

But, his speed is absurd.

He's easily going over 150 km/h.

His muscular body and the speed he's going at, his physical status must be impressive.

"By the way, Morishitkun. What is that?"

"Aah that's an Orc Berserker."

"Orc Berserker?

"A special evolution of Orcs… Or better said, it's called eccentric species due to its a bit solid body."

"More specifically?"

"Together with a Fish he is running endlessly in circles at a level that he'll die if he stops. And, if you're close look at his face."

His height is 180 cm and walks on two legs.

Bloodshot white eyes.

Drooling mouth.

Rather, there was a smile with his totally gone eyes.

Well, it completely gives a feeling of that.

"Certainly it looks like an eccentric species."

"However, it's awfully strong. It's better to not disturb if you don't have the power of a B-rank adventurer. In fact, most humans don't bother it. Well, it's super weak to status abnormality… but there are few people who use magic that kind of magic. Basically, everyone ignores it."

"Runs in circle in the same spot… right?"

I activated the skill Enemy Search, and when I looked carefully that thing it seems it has left a lot of footprints in this area.

It seems it's running around the same area while slightly curving and the radius of it going around is 1 kilometer.

"Hey, Morishitkun? Suppose you defeat it, how many levels would you go up?"

"I guess about 3 levels?"

"Fuuun…"

"Right now, aren't you thinking about something weird?"

"No, nothing really."

"At the moment he's attacked he'll stop running circles and rush at you, okay? If it's senpai then with one punch your head will be smashed. Don't do anything absurd. Do you understand me?"

"Don't worry, Morishitkun. I'm not that big of an idiot. I've already went through one painful experience."

"Then, I'm cutting the communications."

"Okay."

I murmured "Well, then." and I walked the path to the Orc Berserker.

And then took out talismans by the dozen.

—-I did level up. I became stronger, too. But, honestly speaking, it's still not enough to go against that Gorilllike C-rank.

I look up towards the sky.

Besides, I think that even the me from now can't bring a conclusion with Lela Sakaguchi…

"Please forgive me, Morishitkun. Because, I still need to level up more. I want to be in an equal relationship with Morishitkun. I don't want to become somebody that I'll be just protected."

That person for the past 3 years has been continuously fighting in this world.

How will I be able to walk equally with him if I'm not absurd and just do it the safe and completely secure way…

However, this is a lifetime chance.

If I cannot beat my opponent up front, then I just have to set it up… There is no better chance than this.

And then I scattered 24 talismans on the path of the Orc Berserker.
