Chapter 18: Being Strong
"Have you arrived?" Said a long black-haired man as he sipped a cup of tea in his hand.
"Master? Ah yes, I just finished it.. How is the master?" Raka said slightly lowered her head in respect.
"I'm fine, sit down. There's a lot I want to say to you" he said, glancing at the chair in front of me.
"Of course, thank you" said Raka as she pulled the chair in front of her.
"Well, how's your training going? Did it go well?" Ask Yama to her little student.
"Oh, my training went smoothly, although yes compared to before, the improvement has decreased a lot." Raka said calmly.
"Haih, in other words you want a new technique right? You're this, you know" he said, handing over a note.
"Um! thank you, master" said Raka thank you.
"Ah, right also... master, what did you want to say just now? Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me?"
"Hmm? Ah, it's about what I promised you"
"Oh? About stalling, huh? It's okay, you don't have to rush, however.what I want is just enough time, you don't have to intervene when it's not needed, it's just fine" said Raka calmly.
"Well, even if you say that, do you think? Is freeing your family from the grasp of the demon palace that easy? And, are you sure you can beat them yourself?" Yama.
"Oh, that's right, because I need time to become more and more powerful, until the time comes, I'll save them"
"Haha, do you think it's that easy? Until the time comes, huh? What if the time doesn't come? Are you going to surrender, or strike rashly at the cost of your life? A naive thought,"
"Hufft, I know, I thought about it too. But, do I currently look like a free-living person? I have a responsibility, be it the time comes or not, I don't care."
"Oh? Then are you going to sacrifice your life when you can't even defeat your enemy?"
"That's right, I'll do it, but that was it. What I want is to save them, not sacrifice my own life. So, whatever it is, I'll keep living for them and for myself"
"Do you think such a naive thought can materialize huh!?"
"No, it's not easy. But, I will still do it, even if the odds are negative, I will still try to. For other things, you don't have to worry about me." Connect Raka.
"Well, you always surprise me. Back to our conversation."
"Maybe it's true, all you're asking is to buy time, but still, I have a responsibility as your master, and whatever it is, I have a responsibility as your master, the salvation of an ancestor candidate is the determinant of peace in the continent." Yama.
"So, I don't think it's a bad thing for you to start moving."
"You mean?"
"You know? You can't fight the demons by yourself. Not even you can deploy troops related to the upper continent. So, the only thing you need to do is make your own army."
"What, no, how? How do you mean, master?" My words frowned.
After all, indeed, gathering an army was something that could be done in preparation. However, it is also not a trivial thing. It was a power that if I was too rash, it would attack me no matter what.
"Ah, that's it, I don't know where your mind goes, but well as a former adult I think you can judge what's good and what's bad right?" Said relaxed.
"So well, it makes sense anyway.but, what the hell with an ex-adult!?" My protest.
"Well, weren't you an adult?" Say lightly.
"Geez, all right, so.. how do I find them?"
"Hmm? Find out for yourself" he said, not caring.
"Ugh..it really makes it difficult for me, but well, I guess it's okay if I think about it gradually right? I mean, I had absolutely no intention of relaxing, but I guess I still had to think about it for sure, all the while.let me learn it first" I said as I glanced at the master's note.
"Well, I don't think it's a problem, tell me if you've found a way. Learning that technique while thinking about it as well I don't think it's a bad idea. And, you can ask Edward or Alice for help, I think they'll help you." Said the Master as he got up from his seat.
"Okay, thanks master!" My words also rise.
"Well, you can come back now."
"Good master, good night" I said before leaving.

'Hmm, troops. What yes, what experience do I have with him?'
'Military training huh?'
'Well, even though I said that I had no idea of how it was'
'What is that? Troops can mean groups too, right? Well, take it that way'
'If the group..' I murmured in my heart before I fell asleep and began to dream.
