I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 197

Chapter 197: Alan’s Resolve (Part 2)

“Eva…senpai, thank you for the other day. Thanks to you, many lives were saved.”

“Hehe, don’t worry about it. I only did it for myself. I have no interest in other people’s lives. Besides, thanks to that, I got to meet some old friends.”

“…Who are those people?”

“Who knows? You’ll find out eventually when we meet again.”

Senpai Eva doesn’t elaborate. She must be thinking about various things, quietly contemplating the future.

While drinking Melomelon juice, I get to the main point.

No use being timid. Might as well go cheerfully.

Alright.

“Eva-senpai! I want to become stronger—”

“Fine.”

“…Huh?”

“? I said it’s fine.”

“Um, you haven’t said anything yet—”

“You’re easy to understand. You’re hot-blooded, only looking forward, and greedily pursuing one thing. You want to become stronger, right?”

“Uh, y-yes! That’s why, could we spar—”

“That’s too much trouble. But I can help you become stronger.”

“…Really?”

“I have some free time right now. Thanks to you, I’ve gone from searching to waiting.”

I don’t fully understand, but it seems like she understands what I want to convey.

Among those I know, Senpai Eva is the strongest. Not because she took a shortcut.

I can’t catch up with her by simply working hard. I can’t win against her.

Not against monsters, not against demons.

…Not against Weiss either.

“Yeah. Let’s start by stopping the war in the west. Then, let’s go hunt down the S-rank bounty targets.”

“…Huh? A-Are you serious—”

“You can stop if you want.”

“I-I’ll do it! —Please let me do it!”

When I said that, Senpai Eva flashed a daring smile.

“Hehe, I like that look on your face. —If you survive everything, I’ll spar with you.”

“Y-Yes!”

“Then let’s go. Ah, thanks for the meal.”

“Huh? Oh, y-yes! Leave it to me!”

As Senpai Eva left the place, I tried to follow her but was caught by the shopkeeper.

Oh, so that’s what “thanks for the meal” means.

“Not enough yet. Five packets of Beckto cheese and ten more Melomelon juices. Also, three plates of large-size potato fries.”

“Huh? Th-That much!? Y-Yes!”

“Hey Alan, come here!”

“Yes!”

Anyway—

“Senpai Eva, please take care of me!”

“Don’t worry about it. I was bored too. But in return, don’t complain even if you die.”

“…I don’t think I’ll be able to complain if I’m dead…”

Anyway, I’ll do my best, my very best, and keep on doing my best.

I don’t want to regret anymore.
