“Well.. are you injured?” Charlotte

“Not at all. For such a small thing, I’m not that delicate.” Allen

“That was amazing. Allen is so strong. You surprised me.” Charlotte

“Oh, is that so?” Allen

Charlotte smiles while Allen cherishes her gesture. Then she turns her gaze to the trash rolling on the ground and frowns.

“But… what should we do with him? If he’s left alone, he could get a cold.” Charlotte

“I can look for a constable…” Allen

Allen thinks he’d love to toss Rogue A into a shark-infested waters, but forgoes that punishment because of Charlotte.

“Oh, you two! That…” Shopkeeper alerts as her voice trails off

“Oh?” Allen

When Allen looked where the shopkeeper was pointing, a huge figure was walking up. The cheering dies down immediately.

The person moved up in front of Allen and the rest with the sound of rocks… It’s hard to say what exactly he is…

“This guy… took out my young ones?” Rock Man

The person talking to Allen is a Rock Man. Like the name suggests, they’re a race where the body is made up of rocks. They’re quite large and they are twice as tall as an average human. They are agile, but their attacks pack a lot of power. The man in front of Allen could drink beer by the barrel then crush the barrel like a can. Even if the person is on the strong side, normal human beings would be easily blown away by him.

(Oh, that trash called himself part of the Rock Solid Adventurers) Allen recalls.

Behind the Rock Man, there’s about twenty followers. They looks similar to the two rogues that Allen just defeated. They’re all glaring at ALlen, it seems like he’s gotten himself into another confusing situation.

“No, Allen…” Charlotte

“It’ll be fine, Charlotte. Leave it to me… huh?” Allen laughs.

After reassuring the worried Charlotte, Allen turns to the Rock Man. Suddenly his eyebrows raise and he tilts his head. He stares at the Rock Man and claps his hands?

“Are you Magus?” Allen

“Huh… What’s wrong with my name?” Magus

“Oh! So you really are Magus!” Allen

Ibuka Magus was the name of the frowning Rock Man. Allen happily speaks to him, ignoring the crushing atmosphere. The minions look confusedly at each other.

“This is so nostalgic! Hasn’t it been seven years already? How are you getting on?” Allen

“You act like you know me… I don’t recall someone like you!” Magus

“Oh, you always did have trouble distinguishing among individuals from the other races.” Allen laughs.

He seems thrilled to have encountered the Rock Man.

“So, I am Allen Crawford, formerly of the Athena Magic Academy.” Allen proclaims.

“Huh?…” Magus

At that point, the giant Rock Man Magus starts to quiver as if he had been struck by lightning. Charlotte and the other onlookers are mystified, but then something crazy happened.

Dogeza!

Magus suddenly rushed to bend down to the ground. He puts his forehead on the ground and raises a quivering voice.

“Please, I’m sorry I wasn’t aware the Great Demon Lord was… Please forgive me for any rudeness! Please!” Magus

“So, what should I do?” Allen laughs invincibly as he strokes his chin.
