Chapter 48: Evan D. Sherden, Watering Seeds (3)

Evan D. Sherden, Watering Seeds (3)

Evan started the ‘Property Final Real End of the Monster Tamer Training Lecture.’

For reference, the reason that the revision was finished twice was that when you first made the main character in Yo-Ma Great Wars 3 and 4, most fans called this ‘drawing’ because the apt.i.tude was completely random.

This is because it was very rare that the tamer apt.i.tude is born.

“In order for the monster tamer to become stronger, you have to grow the contracted monster above all else. That leads to the growth of the Tamer. The most basic skill of Monster Tamer, ‘Monster Taming’, grows and enhances the Princess’ level. Anyway, you can think of it as becoming stronger.”

“It’s like that. Am I becoming stronger to live?”

“Yeah. The Princess can think this way, it’s possible to live a long life.”

“Huh. I like to live long. And I want to sign a contract with Earthworms.”

This is what he said to Belois before, but even if there was no place in the Royal City to study, there was still always a way to becoming stronger.

Belois’ Ramp training was a training method that affects a large area not only for initial magical power management but also for other magical power-related skills that extend from magical power management onwards. The Royal City was not the best place to train that, or so she thought.

“Princess, in the future, feed that slime whenever the Princess eats, talk to it whenever you have time, and stay with it as much as possible. That is the first step to growing as a monster tamer. You give your best behavior to the monsters you have tamed.”

“Is it easy?”

“Of course, it’s easy. But the most important thing is something else. In the future, you should focus on this training. So…”

Evan hesitated for a while. Was it really possible to pa.s.s on a training method called ‘Oedo in Oedo’ among the training methods of Lee and w.a.n.gdo?

However, if the Princess could do this properly, if she could do this repeatedly for at least an hour a day, her growth as a monster tamer would be certain. At the same time, the elite fire slime Ruby would also grow.

“From now on, if possible, try to avoid people when doing this. It may look a little weird on the outside.”

“Like Evan does?”

“Yes.”

Fortunately, she’s just wacky, not stupid. Evan thought with relief.

“Strike yourself.”

“I hate being struck.”

“Sorry. There was a slight misunderstanding. Try to hit yourself.”

“What’s the difference…?”

The Princess seemed like she was staring at a fool.

She was looking at Evan. Evan understood at that point. Without game knowledge, it’s no wonder that she just couldn’t understand his words properly.

“At the same time, order Ruby to protect you.”

“Oh?”

“Then Ruby will protect the Princess by stopping her attack. This is called ‘Protection’, which is the command that increases skill proficiency the most compared to the time consumed by the monster tamer’s basic commands. That way, the monster grows most efficiently.”

“That’s the way to do it?”

The Princess’s eyes were wide open. She still did not understand what he meant, but she seemed to understand roughly what she had to do.

“If I try to hit me, will Ruby protect me from me?”

“Sure, it will. Of course, it has to be effective damage, so if you hit yourself like this, it might hurt a little.”

“Then, wouldn’t Ruby, who takes the hit in my place, hurt too?”

A princess who cares about monsters, not her fist hitting herself; Evan naturally laughed, even while knowing that he shouldn’t keep laughing.

Although he already knew, she already possessed an att.i.tude as a tamer.

“I’m worried that although it is hard for the Princess, it will be very effective for Ruby, so you should do it. Besides, this is the way for both Ruby and Princess to grow. Both will be able to live a long, healthy life. It’s totally real.”

“Yes, it seems so. I can do that.”

‘Yes. No matter how strange it may seem, it ultimately leads to growth. Otherwise, there is no meaning to practice.’

Of course, it looks weird. It looks so stupid! Actually, if you’re doing it in-game, it looks really stupid! More than in reality.

“If I do that, then tell me Oppa.”

Princess Serena, who was roughly convinced about the training, laughed like a fool.

“Then you can contract with the worm, right?”

“If you grow a lot like that, of course you can. However, if the Princess is sick or Ruby is difficult during training, you should take it easy.”

“Yea, I got it. I think I know roughly.”

All the mechanisms of training were delivered. He also gave her notes.

The Princess mumbled two or three times, as if trying to memorize it, and then nodded… … She raised her fist.

“Protect!”

[No!]

And she tried to hit her own head.

Ruby, who ran over quickly, stopped her from trying to hit herself.

[Stop!]

“Ruby, I’m sorry. Doesn’t it hurt?”

[No!]

Ruby exclaimed proudly as if it didn’t hurt its body trying to protect its master. The Princess tried her best to strike herself hard, and the slime did not falter under her hits.

‘Look at this?’

Evan’s eyes turned to see it. He just gave the Princess a chance to sign a contract with a monster, and the situation fits luckily. This slime was an elite, and it seemed to be capable of surviving the hits.

‘I was worried that the Princess would be injured in the process of hitting the monster rather than the damage that the slime took. I didn’t know I would admire a slime’s abilities, I never thought this would be possible.’

With Evan’s exclamation, the Princess tried to hit her head several more times, and Ruby hurriedly bounced to stop her.

“This is fun!”

He didn’t know where the fun element was, but the Princess seemed to think of it as a kind of play!

“Hit, Hit!”

[Stop, Stop!]

The Princess just swung her fist and attacked herself, but suddenly begins to fake her motion trajectory. And Ruby that detected the fake and blocked the Princess’s fist with the correct trajectory! The Princess soon began to use both hands. However, the slime moved quickly without losing to its speed!

Even Evan was a little confused about what they were doing

.

It seemed like she was beginning to lose her sanity.

‘Well, it would be nice if she enjoyed it like this.’

The time taken for one training act was very short unlike the game. There was no command in the game to attack yourself with your own fist.

That was the difference between game and reality. He had thought it might make a pretty significant difference.

“Hey, I’m tired.”

[Mow.]

The chance for the Princess to raise her level of existence was the true growth, not the method she learned from Evan, so she would not have received the physical strength-related growth; only her magical power would increase slightly.

At this point, Evan was a little nervous. The key flaw of this practice was that she might not like this practice, which is physically exhausting. But that was not the case…

“This is really fun! So much fun. It’s been a while since I moved so much.”

[Laugh! Laugh!]

“It’s really fortunate. When people are not around, take the time to do it as often as possible.”

“Yea, I got it. I will work hard. I hate the tough exercises that Oppa is trying to do, but I like this.”

The Princess nodded softly with sweat on her forehead. He still couldn’t figure out why she liked this practice, but anyway, was good that she did!

‘Okay, I think this is enough.’

He was caught in the King’s tactics and met Serena, the Princess, as well as told her some secrets… It was a bit strange as an outing because of that, but he was fortunate that things went well as a result anyway.

If the Princess eagerly trained just as Evan told her, she wouldn’t be taken away anywhere without her will. All that Evan could do, he had done. Now it was time to step back quietly. Oh, but before that.

“Princess, it’s a secret that I can summon slimes.”

“Yes, it’s also a secret that you were secretly summoning them here, right?

“Yes, that is correct. So hide Ruby. Oh, but when something happens, it’s a problem to explain the existence of that slime or Ruby. What excuses will you have… …”

“Evan, Oppa.”

Suddenly the Princess was serious in that part.

She said with an odd look.

“Actually, there is a legend in this flower garden. There is a pa.s.sage that leads to an ancient dungeon somewhere in the flower garden, and there is a legend that a monster pops out of it…”

“It’s a legend that I’ve heard a lot about…”

Needless to say, it’s one of the ghost stories that were on the Yo-Ma Great War fansite!

“So I can say that Ruby also came from there. I can say this. Evan my Oppa showed up nicely to protect me. Then I see it and suddenly awaken to my potential, making Ruby my friend. So cool!”

“No. I don’t want to stand out needlessly.”

“My Oppa is a coward. Don’t you want to be the main character?”

“You are a coward. I don’t want to be the main character.”

It’s been two years and two months since he recovered his memories of his previous life.

He met someone he understood well. He was very happy, but he didn’t want to see her in the future.

“It can’t be helped. Then I’ll take care of it. Believe me.”

The Princess a.s.sured him by tapping his chest with a cute fist, but why was that appearance not reliable at all?

Evan was very anxious, but he couldn’t dare tackle the Princess anymore. He looked on strangely at this four-dimensional Princess, who was satisfied with her own lines. She coughed and moved back a couple of steps, then lowered her head.

“Then, your Majesty, there are many other excuses. It was an honor to meet you, the most beautiful Princess. I will go back.”

“Uh, Evan.”

The Princess opened her eyes wide.

“Aren’t you playing with me anymore?”

“Yes, I can no longer take the precious time of the princess…”

“My time is not so precious. Let’s play together. Or maybe you hate me? I like you.”

“I don’t like playing…”

“Then let’s play. Are we going to play together?”

He couldn’t even say ‘I hate you’ as this would get him related even deeper with her, and things may become dangerous!

No excuses could be found even after looking around.

If he was harsh with her, it might be considered rude, and he may have to pay the price for this offense. Evan eventually shook his shoulders with a sigh. That’s why I hate those in power!

“It might be possible if I stay a little longer. But if my father calls me, I really have to go.”

“I did it. You gave me Ruby as a gift, taught me fun games, played with me, so my Oppa is as good as a worm.”

“That’s an honor…”

What the h.e.l.l sort of position did the earthworm hold in this girl’s mind? Evan couldn’t dare to estimate. But in the meantime, a bigger bomb exploded.

“Oh, and why do you speak so honorifically with me, are you not older? I should talk like that to you.”

“It’s impossible because of the insurmountable difference in status between us, Your Highness.”

“Status? Is that so? Then I’m giving an order to you. If you don’t listen, I’ll go to Dad.”

This girl was really spontaneous.

“But even if His Majesty finds out that I call Your Majesty in plain language, it will cause great trouble.”

Only

“Well then, we can’t help it, let’s talk like this only when people can’t see us. Now we have grown to two secrets.”

[Laugh!]

The Princess with the pink hair said so and winked at him. Evan was stunned and then laughed loudly. He wasn’t supposed to laugh, but it was ridiculous, so he kept laughing.

“Okay. Okay, Serena.”

“Yes, Evan, Oppa!”

They wouldn’t have to see each other after today.

Evan truly thought so, but of course, it couldn’t be like that.
