Please read this chapter at for faster releases These whispers and complaints swirled around Gabil’s party. My ability is undoubtedly a bit higher than yours. Presumably, what’s necessary is an opponent of similar strength, at least that’s what I think will work.” Nansou, Hokusou, Touka and Saika have been thriving as well. “Hn-hmm… Souka-sama receives Souei-sama’s abus-no, guidance and has been steadily improving. Setting us aside, the monsters in the cave are hardly any threat to Gabil-sama…” Regardless, Hakurou’s weapon of choice is the sword, thus I have no way to improve my spear-work, other than working hard on my own, Gabil thought to himself.
At least thanks to Rimuru-sama’s grace in dispatching Hakurou-dono as our instructor, our basic training and troop formation exercises are on point… But this is not nearly enough! Isn’t there anything else significant enough that the likes of us could be of use?! Especially in this town where you can’t shine if you are a master of none…” My spear-work may also get dull over time. If we continue to live like this, we may lose our sense of crisis awareness. The monsters in this cave are unable to pose any threat at this point. If this is to continue, I may lose my dignity as her senior, further deepening my shame before her! Don’t you guys think that in order to be one’s senior, one has to be stronger as well?” Gabil basked in the support from his subordinates, then exclaimed what had been irking him: “-However! Souka not only received the important task of espionage, she is also gaining strength at the same time! This may not be good. Moreover, I’ve started to gain more interest in the cultivation of this Hippocout grass-” We should be grateful for being accepted as companions. We are still outsiders and were once hostile towards Rimuru-sama. But it can’t be helped that we haven’t been put in more important roles. They had no problem at all acknowledging the power of Souka, who is from the same clan as them, and thus simply expressed their opinion to each other.
Gabil agreed with the words of his subordinates. This and that may all be thanks to Souei-sama’s training.” Her performance against the megalodon during the Charybdis crisis was fantastic. With her training under Souei-sama, her current level of ability makes her barely recognizable compared to her past self.” “That’s true, Souka-sama was already a capable warrior worthy of being the captain of Abil-sama’s elite bodyguards, and has since become a force to be reckoned with, next to Gabil-sama. Wouldn’t she one day become stronger than me if this continues?” “Aiyi, speaking of Souka, rumor has it that she’s improved greatly as of late. Gabil gradually felt enraged as he grew Hippocout grass in the cave every day.
