Overgeared

“That is a bit...”

“That can’t happen.”

It was the aftermath of the unity of the mental worlds.

Grid and Hayate spoke at the same time.

The Old Dragon who was feeling agonized—they tried to calm down Biban, who treated Evil Dragon Bunhelier as mere prey.

“You don’t want to provoke someone who is trying to become a reliable ally. Are you going to undo Grid’s efforts?”

“It doesn’t have to be a big sword, does it? The giant sword that exists in your mental world. That is Biban’s will, right? It would be heavy and bloated enough if you could put that will into the new dragon weapon. It is to the point where you can easily behead a dragon if you mean it.”

“Hmm... Leave the easy way and go back to the hard way… it is a mindset that an Absolute should have. I learned a great lesson from both of you today.”

Biban had recently become an Absolute. He was called the Sword God despite being a human, but he was humble rather than arrogant. He recognized himself as a rookie rather than a god and acted with an attitude of learning everything.

“Take anything as an ordeal, overcome it and train myself... I understand it well. In the future, eating and sleeping will also be an ordeal. Um... Should I arrange to sleep in a dragon lair...”

“......?”

Was he being sarcastic? Grid had a solemn expression on his face. It was a suspicion that happened because Biban’s personality remained despite him overcoming his dementia. It was a misunderstanding.

Biban was speaking sincerely.

“You interpreted it correctly.”

Hayate nodded. Biban’s misinterpretation wasn’t corrected. Hayate felt guilty due to his upright personality, but it couldn’t be helped. For now, this was the best thing to do.

“Sometimes, it is best to go back to the hard road.”

“I understand.”

Biban’s gaze that was fixed on the room across from him finally returned to Grid and Hayate.

Grid was startled. There was no rebuttal. Biban’s eyes were calm and tranquil. It was unbelievable for someone who had just discussed beheading a dragon and thought of hunting Bunhelier. It was like a person going about his daily life. There wasn’t even a trace of stimulating emotions such as killing intent and fighting spirit.

‘That is why Bunhelier is still.’

Bunhelier was an Old Dragon. He had the ability to disperse his consciousness into multiple parts to sense across the entire continent in real time. He couldn’t feel any ill feelings directed at him in the immediate vicinity.

Grid had been nervous. He wondered if Bunhelier would’ve read Biban’s intentions and gone on a rampage. Gaslighting would probably be useless. At best, he was educating an Evil Dragon...

He kept being worried. Fortunately, that didn’t happen. Bunhellier didn't seem to feel anything. Biban’s high mentality kept the peace.

“Grid.”

“Yes.”
