As a resident of the Shield Spirit’s world, I, Atla, am always watching over Naofumi-sama!
Naofumi-sama and the others seem to have arrived at the headquarters of the school where Glass-san was learning martial arts.
They were apparently attempting to learn a technique that could do something about the enemy’s usage of support magic nullification arts, but they just discovered that such techniques have been lost.
“There is a limit to incompetence.”
“Well… It appears that this is also an act of sabotage carried out by the one who claims to be god, after all…”
The one who defended the incompetent old man was Ost-san, who came to reside in the Shield Spirit’s world before me.
You don’t need to sympathize with someone who can’t be of any help to Naofumi-sama in an emergency!
Furthermore, he looks to be in a state of decrepitude. He definitely needs some fight to be put into him.
As the thought passed my head, the Granny who showed me an example on how to use life force got into gear and charged in, rousing the old man’s spirit, while Naofumi-sama and the others seem to have decided on going for a treasure hunt in the meantime.
In the end, Shildina’s power has enabled them to seemingly revive the lost technique.
“It looks like you were able to reproduce it together with the Hengen Musou style’s Granny. Nevertheless… Shildina-san, to think that you were capable of drawing memories from past items of old. This is an opinion that I’ve already had in my mind, but she really is quite capable.”
Then Ost-san looked at me and said in surprise “it’s rare for Atla-san to be praising anyone aside from Naofumi-san.”
“I may be blind, but the fac-… truth is something I can clearly see.”
”There are a lot of things about it that bother me, but I shall refrain since it’s too much trouble otherwise. Though it may not be to the extent like the Great Shield Hero, I have grown accustomed to this.”
“But… Ha! Is it like this?”
My body aches. I want to practice techniques with Naofumi-sama and the others too! I’ll practice here for now!
“Come on Ost-san, let’s practice together!”
“I don’t think there’s any point in us learning it…”
“What are you talking about? How can you be sure that our training will not be reflected in Naofumi-sama through the shield?”
“Even though that would be something I have to ask the Mirror Spirit and Shield Spirit about… I’m sure Atla-san would try regardless of their answer anyway.”
“Of course! Even if they did say that there aren’t any effects, I wouldn’t believe it.”
I would definitely like to learn it! Now I have more things to do besides watching over Naofumi-sama.
“Ho!” “Acho!” was how the Granny shouted, right? It might not be too bad to do so here as well!
“… It looks like you’re saying that you want to exercise because you don’t have anything else to do.”
”We have to be the ones exerting our powers in the event something happens!”
“I don’t think that’s the case… the one who fights is the Great Shield Hero after all.”
“You too spirits, don’t just rely on Naofumi-sama! It’s time to train! Come on, let’s do this!”
I launched small thrusts at the spirits who are carefreely floating in the air!
They sway about, attempting to escape from me.
“What are you doing to the Great Spirits!?”
“You’re not getting away! I’m going to beat that reliance on Naofumi-sama out of you all!”
”Haaah, really… Atla-san, stopping at nothing for the sake of the Great Shield Hero no matter where you are.”
