I defeated One-Punch De-Kieryu in one punch.
…Honestly, he was pretty weak.
The Sealed Barrier thing that covered me is disappearing.
『Analysis by Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) complete. Master can now also use the Sealed Barrier.』
Oh, really?
Yay! Glad I fought him. This technique is super useful, after all.
“Master!”
Sinri leaped onto me.
“Waaah! A strange man suddenly started messing with me, it was scary!”
Sinri is sniffling and crying. She’s such an introvert… Getting suddenly confronted by a scary-looking man must have startled her.
I pat Sinri’s head reassuringly.
“Sniff… Master, where did you go? You suddenly disappeared with that man?”
“Ah, well, you see…”
I told her that there was a Demon Race member here too, and that we ended up fighting.
“Huh, so there are Demon Race members here too.”
“Yeah. I was surprised. I was also surprised by how weak they are.”
“Isn’t that just because Master is too strong, even when weakened?”
“You think so?”
“I dunno.”
“Right?”
Wahahaha, Sinri and I laughed.
『What a pair of idiots…』
Tenri let out a deep sigh.
“Realistically, how strong are the Demon Race members here?”
『About the level of an Ancient Dragon in the other world.』
“Ancient Dragon? The kind you can go paan with one hand?”
『You’re the only one who can go paan with one hand.』
I see… An Ancient Dragon, huh.
Then they’re weak, these Earth-born Demon Race members.
『This person is strange.』
“Huh, Tenri~? Didn’t you know~? I’ve known Master for a long, long, loooong time, so I already know Master’s head is messed up, you know?”
『Shut up, trash.』
“Such a simple insult!? How mean!”
Sinri-san, you say some pretty mean things to me too, you know?
Well, it’s just a kid’s insults, so I don’t mind.
Still, an opponent only as strong as a Monster, huh.
“Are the people here able to deal with them?”
『No, not at all. It seems the Public Security Bureau is having trouble too.』
“Huh? Against such weaklings?” “When they disappear in one hit?”
Sinri and I both widened our eyes.
Aren’t the people in reality too weak…?
『Setting Master aside, you should be able to search for that with Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet), idiot sister.』
“I-I-I know that! I searched for it! I just pretended not to know even though I did!”
『Mu-Mu.』
“What’s that!?”
『It’s short for Ignorant and Incompetent, idiot sister.』
“How mean! Tenri needs to develop some respect-mind for her older sister!”
『There’s no such thing.』
“She declared it…!”
I can’t believe the Public Security Bureau is struggling against something like that… They’re unexpectedly weak, the people here.
『It’s because the value of life isn’t as low here as it is in the other world.』
Death by Monsters is pretty common over there…
Meanwhile, it’s peaceful here.
When it’s peaceful, you don’t need to be that strong. So… they’re weak compared to the other world, I guess.
“Well then, maybe I didn’t need to be so cautious.”
Though Tenri was considerate enough to send various armaments.
『Letting your guard down is forbidden, Master.』
“That’s right! Nom nom… Lettin’ your guard down ish forbidden, Mashter.”
『What are you eating?』
“Feh? Beef skewers? What, does Tenri want some too? Nope! These are your big sister’s!”
『A pig eating beef.』
“Stop calling your big sister a pig! Look at this slender body!”
Sinri and Tenri are bickering happily. Well, let’s just leave them be.
It was then.
PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR♪
“Hm? My phone?”
Looks like I’m getting a call on my smartphone.
It was an unknown number.
『It’s from Niekawa of the Public Security Bureau.』
“Huh, did that guy know my phone number?”
『Apparently, he heard it from Mr. Kaida Kogen.』
Come to think of it, I did exchange contact info with Kaida-kun.
I answered the phone for now.
“Hello?”
『This is Niekawa.』
“Ah, yes. What is it?”
『…You don’t seem surprised that I called?』
“Because my excellent supporter informed me that the call was from you.”
Behind me, Sinri pokes my back, going, “You mean me, right?”
I meant your excellent little sister.
“So, what do you need?”
『We detected that a Sealed Barrier was erected where you are. I’m calling to check if you’re alright.』
“Hoh… So Sealed Barriers can be detected.”
『There’s an Ability User who can do that.』
So it’s an Ability of one of those Otherworld Reincarnators, huh.
“A Demon Race member appeared, and I beat them down. The Demon Race member put up the Sealed Barrier.”
『………………』
Huh?
Niekawa-san went silent. What’s wrong…?
『Did I mishear…? You defeated a Demon Race member? One of those terrifying Demon Race members?』
Terrifying…?
『As I said earlier, it’s likely because the Demon Race is a threat to the people here.』
Come to think of it, Tenri did say that earlier.
“I defeated them.”
『…Unbelievable. That’s too amazing. You single-handedly defeated an S-Rank Ability User.』
“S-Rank?”
What the heck is that…?
『Ability Users have strength rankings assigned by the Public Security Bureau. S is the highest rank.』
“Huh…”
Seriously?
Kieryu is S-Rank…?
“So something like that is S-Rank, huh. Does that mean the other Kieryu are also S-Rank…?”
『!? Y-You know of the Kieryu clan!?』
“Know them? I hunted them down like crazy over there.”
『Wh-!? Huh!? N-No way!? The evil and ferocious Kieryu clan!?』
Evil?
Ferocious?
In what way…?
『Unbelievable… You’re that strong… amazing…』
Is it just me, or did I feel like I was being made fun of somehow…?
I felt like someone praising a baby for being able to crawl, like “Good job~”.
『Master, that’s simply because your sense of values is bugged.』
“Because Master is like a bug herself.”
The AI sisters both called me out…
