Day 356
*Crunch crunch*, while eating a cloned【Heroes】' knob, the【Shogun Kobold】Akitainu and Ramura of the【Thunder Dragonewt】 charge forward thrusting real weapons while I just have two prepared alloy clubs for training, with a look in their eyes as if fully prepared to die if necessary.
Akitainu has in his hand a large sword-type magic item called 【Heavenly Lunar War Wolf】 given to him previously. An incredibly sharp blade, that has the ability to generate a warrior-like slash as beautiful as the moon.
Ramura-san has in her hand a living body spear with the general shape of a Naginata[1] . Because she clad herself in a purple lightning, it's become a lightning spear that is deadly for most organisms, and if you touch it, you can get burned from the inside out with an electric shock.
Both of them are serious, and the weapons they wield are sharp enough to bisect the training alloy clubs that I have.
For that reason I do not take their attacks directly, always meeting them by knocking them off to the side.
Besides the violent attacks of both opponents approaching from the front, I also have to deal with two demons poised at my back, Netsuki-kun and Fuuki-san, who approached from behind while moving and holding back the tremors made by the other two.
I only use the two alloy clubs. The remaining two silver arms I'm not using are also not supposed to use abilities or any of my other capabilities, they just hold another three meter long alloy club.
Distract. Repel. Entwine. Take down.
Being attacked from all sides, it's still a battle I continued without receiving even a single blow.
When a chance appears, I launch an attack under Akitainu's chin, then drop down to hook the foot of Ramura-san, put a thrust against of Netsuki-kun's stomach, and slap Fuuki-san on the ass, blowing her away.
Since I've been too sloppy recently, today I am only training with members of the executive class, letting me get a feel that everyone's level is rising compared to before.
Wooden clubs were enough in the past, but it's already necessary to use alloy ones.
There are many points that still need to be fixed, but since I changed the gifts they used, their before and after cannot be compared.
Then, for a while, I gathered together Redhead, Female Knight, Kumajirou, Kurosaburou, Rinbo-san, one of the neck-less Dullahan knights, Gladiator King, Boss Monkey, and the preying mantis insect Iss Haa-san, anyway, those of a certain level or above. The team members were assembled and we went into another training party.
Although that alone had crushed the day, while realizing the real growth in these people, I left them all dead tired – but obviously not going as far as to leave anyone actually dead –, just making them go beyond their usual exhaustion.
Even if this time I was stricter, I would go as far as burying someone in the ground if necessary.
Maybe... Probably... Surely.

“三百五十六日目”
ボリボリボリ、と【英勇】クローンのツマミを喰いながら、二本の訓練用合金棍で眼前から決死の覚悟で突っ込んでくる【将軍コボルド】の秋田犬と、【雷竜人】のラムラさんを相手にする。
秋田犬が手にするのは、以前与えた大太刀型マジックアイテム【月天闘狼】。切れ味鋭く、美しい月のような刀身から闘狼のような斬撃を発生させる能力がある。
ラムラさんが手にするのは、薙刀のような形状の生体槍。紫電を纏い、触れれば感電して内部から焼き尽くされかねない、大半の生物にとって致命的な雷槍の一種だ。
どちらも本気であり、手にする得物は俺が持つ訓練用合金棍を両断するだけの切れ味がある。
その為直接受ける事はせず、常に側面を叩き落として対処した。
正面から迫る両者の激しい攻撃を前に、最初の位置から微動だにせずドンと構えながら、背後から迫って来た熱鬼くんと風鬼さんの二鬼にも対処する。
使うのは二本の合金棍だけだ。使っていない残りの二本の銀腕も、アビリティや他の能力も使わず、三メートル少々と少し長い合金棍だけで対処する。
逸らす。弾く。絡め取る。
四方から攻められ、それでも一撃も負わずに続く攻防。
隙があれば秋田犬の顎を下から打ち上げ、ラムラさんの足を引っ掛けて転ばせ、熱鬼くんの鳩尾に突きを入れ、風鬼さんの尻を叩いて吹き飛ばす。
最近弛んでいたので、今日は幹部級のメンバーを相手にした訓練をしているのだが、以前と比べて皆のレベルが上がっているのが実感できた。
以前なら木製の棍で十分だったのだが、今では合金製を使う必要があるからだ。
まだまだ直すべき点は多々あれど、使う得物を変えなければならなくなっただけ、以前とは比べ物にならないだろう。
その後は暫く赤髪ショートやら女騎士やらクマ次郎やらクロ三郎やら、剣闘王やらボス猿やら蟷螂型甲蟲人のイス・ハーさんやら
それだけで一日が潰れてしまったが、うむうむと成長を実感しつつ、疲れ果てた皆の亡骸――当然死んでいないが――を越えていく。
今度はもっと厳しくしても、これならいけるだろう。
多分。恐らく。きっと。
