Superhuman Delusional – Are You Able to Live a Daily Life？ 329

Chapter 329 – Episode 329: Relationship Counseling!

Tikia looked back and forth between Noah and me.

“Haa… Noah, even as a joke, this one isn’t funny. Flying in the sky… that’s impossible. I’ve admired Magical Girl Marine, and I’ve tried to figure out how to fly many times.

Using wind magic to lift my body or using gravity magic, you know? Wind magic only blows my clothes, and when I try to lift my whole body, the mana consumption is too high. Even with gravity magic, I couldn’t move in the direction I wanted, and after many trials and errors, I came to a conclusion.

It’s impossible for a person to fly. But Rent can fly? Even if it’s Rent, that’s…”

“It’s not a joke?”

“…Really?”

“Really. Rent~ show them once.”

“To show you, we need to be together first.”

I showed them once, and they went far away, so it’s better to just give them a ride right away.

“But Rent? How are you going to move us all?”

“Don’t worry. Hup!”

Using my mana weapon, I created seats for everyone to ride on. First, to balance it, there are long poles with a total of three seats on each side.

In the center, there’s a sturdy strap for me to wear on my shoulder.

“Please, everyone, sit here.”

At my words, the four of them except Tikia sat down.

“Huh? Oh? Are we really flying?”

“Tikia, please get on quickly.”

Elsie, Noah, and Ninya were sitting on the left, so Melissa called to Tikia.

“U-uh, okay.”

Tikia sat next to Melissa, looking bewildered.

After everyone was seated, I put the strap I made on my shoulder and stood up.

Then, I looked around and added safety bars to the seats so that no one would fall off.

Of course, I also added a cone-shaped windbreaker so that their hair wouldn’t get messed up by the wind.

“Okay, let’s go.”

And I created a pillar and rose high into the sky.

“Whoaaaaat!?”

Tikia was shocked by the sudden rise in height.

“What is this?! What the heck is this?!”

“Ooh, so this is how high we go.”

“As expected, Rent is amazing!”

“No, Elsie!? Is that all you have to say about this?!”

After reaching a certain height in the sky, I bent my body 90 degrees.

The seats, which were not completely fixed, were now facing forward as I bent over.

I released additional mana to fix the seats to the poles so they wouldn’t move any further.

“Tikia, please don’t be too surprised.”

“No, it’s impossible not to be surprised by this…”

I jumped off the pillar.

“Reeeenttttt!?”

Then, I created a foothold and kicked off with force.

Puh-woooooooom!

Muscle jet engine start, inspired by the hectopascal kick!

“Kyaaaaaaaah!”

Tikia’s scream echoed in the sky.

◈
About 30 minutes passed.

“Wow… humans can fly…”

Tikia had reached a state of enlightenment.

“Well, it’s probably only possible because it’s Rent.”

Noah said leisurely, and Tikia asked.

“Hey, Noah. Have you experienced this many times?”

“Huh? It’s my first time? By the way, it’s Elsie’s first time too. Ninya too, right?”

“I used it when I went on a date.”

“Really?”

“…Then why are Noah and Elsie so calm?”

“Huh? Well… we’ve seen a lot of Rent’s absurd things so far… and more than anything, Tikia was so surprised for us? Ahahaha, I guess it’s true that if someone else is too excited next to you, you calm down.”

“I, I too… I was… surprised, but I calmed down seeing Tikia’s reaction.”

“I see…”

After that, Tikia didn’t say much and just looked down.

“Looking down from the sky like this, even moving fast feels slow.”

“Hehe, I know, right? When Rent first held me and I saw it, it was so amazing.”

“Rent, how much longer until we arrive?”

“We’ll be there in 30 minutes, Melissa.”

“…It feels like 30 minutes have already passed. A distance that takes 3 days by carriage in 1 hour… Rent, if you were a merchant, you’d make a lot of money, wouldn’t you?”

Hmm, yeah, if I emphasized my speed as a high-speed rocket delivery, I think I’d have a pretty good reputation.

The so-called Coupang Man Rent.

“If we get requests to go outside the dungeon, it would be good to investigate the routes and take on those missions as well.”

“Outside… honestly, living in Pladan, I only think of going straight to the dungeon if I’m an adventurer.”

“Ahaha… I’m similar to Noah. Even if I go outside, it’s just to gather herbs.”

“Usually, people from Pladan go to dungeons rather than taking requests outside. It’s more profitable. But it’s good to take on outside requests once in a while. You can enjoy the feeling of sightseeing.”

“Ninya, have you ever taken a request to go outside?”

“Yeah, about three years ago? There was a request to subjugate a Silence Bird that appeared near the magic city. At that time, I was also taking a break and went to sightsee the magic city.”

“Silence Bird?”

What kind of monster is that?

Just as I was about to ask Ninya, Tikia said.

“Silence Birds are bird monsters that have the power to interfere with the movement of all mana around them. They’re natural enemies to mages.”

“There are monsters like that too.”

“Yeah. Come to think of it, there was a bit of a commotion about a Silence Bird appearing three years ago… Ninya, you were the one who defeated that monster.”

“Yeah. Well, I do use magic like Lightning Enchant, but my main thing is swordsmanship. I aimed at the flying Silence Bird and threw my spear, and it was defeated in one shot.”

“I heard that the feathers of the Silence Bird boast considerable defense…”

“It’s weaker than the scales of the Lizardmen living on the 7th floor of the dungeon. It was easy to catch? Usually, monsters outside are weaker than monsters in the dungeon.”

“Yeah… when I first saw Noah and Ninya’s movements, I felt they were incredibly strong. And even if it wasn’t them, the movements of the adventurers hunting monsters around us when we were walking were considerable. I also felt that the saying that Pladan adventurers are on a different level isn’t just for show.”

“Ehehe, I’m embarrassed~.”

“Hehe, Tikia, who can already easily catch Treants, is amazing enough, isn’t she?”

“Oh, really? Hehehehe…”

Tikia seems to be very weak to compliments.

As we talked about this and that, 30 minutes quickly passed, and when I looked down, I could see our village.

“Everyone, hold on to the safety bars tightly for a moment.”

The moment everyone grabbed the safety bars, I created a bind in front and stopped flying.

I rotated about two times while stopping.

“Okay, let’s go down.”

I released the bind and fell straight down.

“Re, re, re, Renttttt! We’re falling!”

“It’s okay, Tikia. You won’t get hurt.”

I thought about how I had given Melissa, Miranda, and Ninya a ride on my muscle jet engine.

Come to think of it, there’s no need to rush when going down.

Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy the descent leisurely?

So, I came up with a new way to fall.

When we had come down a certain distance, I used my mana weapon to create a giant parachute.

Flap!

Thanks to the parachute that opened wide, we were able to descend slowly.

“Uh…”

Tikia was puzzled when the parachute suddenly opened and the falling speed decreased.

“How is it? Is this better?”

“U-uh, yeah.”

“It’s better than just falling straight down.”

I received a good review from Melissa, who was scared when we went down last time.

Yes!

When we reached the ground, I removed the parachute, let everyone down, and removed the seats.

“This is my and Melissa’s hometown, Tikia.”

“This is… Rent and Melissa’s hometown…”

Tikia looked around at our village and the forest surrounding it and said.

“It’s a really rural village.”

“It’s true, so I can’t argue with that.”

“The natural scenery is our pride.”

That’s the only thing we can be proud of.

“But everyone is wearing different clothes today?”

“Hehe, we’re going to meet Rent’s mom and dad, right? As someone who will be his future wife, I have to dress up.”

“I thought it would be fine if I just wore my usual clothes… but if everyone else is dressed up and I’m not, it’s a bit awkward, right?”

Last time, only Ninya dressed up in a modest outfit, but this time everyone was wearing different clothes than usual.

Ninya had her hair down and was wearing a modest-looking outfit, just like last time, and Elsie and Noah were also wearing dress-like outfits in white and black, respectively.

Melissa was wearing a light purple dress, and Tikia was wearing a sky-blue dress.

“Hehe, how is it? Rent, am I pretty?”

Noah asked, shaking the hem of her dress.

“Noah, you’re always pretty, right? But you look uniquely pretty in different clothes than usual.”

“Hehe♡”

Noah blushed and smiled brightly.

“But Melissa changed too?”

“…Just like Rent wants to look good to our mom and dad, I want to look good to Auntie and Uncle too.”

Melissa was thinking about it in her own way.

“Re, Rent…”

“Rent!”

Elsie and Tikia asked me at the same time.

“How do I (we) look?””

“Of course, you’re beautiful and lovely.”

“Haaah…♡”

“Hehehe♡”

“Hehe, everyone, don’t just stand here, let’s go inside. I want to show our beautiful selves to your mother and father, not just Rent.”

We walked towards the village.

The first thing we saw when we entered the village was…

“Is this possible…? Is it? No, but still…”

It was Dave, walking around at a certain distance, muttering to himself and worrying.

“Dave~.”

“Huh? That voice is Ren… huh!?”

Dave heard my voice and looked up, his eyes widening in surprise.

Why is he so surprised?

“It’s been a while, Dave.”

“O-oh, yeah, yeah, Rent! It’s been a while! And, and your companions too… there’s someone I’ve never seen before?”

“Dave, this is Tikia. She’s three years older than us.”

“Huh? Really? Ah, I’m, I’m sorry.”

Tikia waved her hand leisurely and said.

“It’s okay. I’m used to that kind of reaction.”

“Dave, why were you so surprised when you saw us?”

“No, that’s… can I borrow your ear for a moment?”

“Yeah.”

I lowered my body to match Dave’s height, and Dave whispered in my ear.

“Ninya was pretty from the first time she came, but the other two came wearing such pretty clothes! Of course, I’m surprised! More than that, why did you take Melissa with you!

Huh?! Melissa is also dressed up like that! What’s going on? When did you start dating Melissa?!”

It seems he was surprised that my lovers, besides Ninya, were dressed up so prettily.

For some reason, I felt a little proud.

“I’ll tell you later, I want to go home first.”

“…You have to tell me later.”

“Yeah.”

Dave moved away from my ear and smiled awkwardly as he greeted them.

“O-oh, it’s been a while…”

“Hehe, it’s been a while. Your name is Dave, right?”

“Yes, yes! Ninya!”

“Hello.”

“Hi~.”

“…Hi, Dave.”

“Ah, yeah. Hi, Melissa. You know what? After you left, Uncle Vice drank at Shima’s Inn every night for a week. Aunt Telisha had to take him home every day.”

“Haa… Dad, really…”

“Dave, see you later.”

“Yeah, see you later, Rent.”

We started walking again and headed towards my house.

“This is our house, Tikia.”

“This is the house where Rent was born and raised. …It’s ordinary.”

“Of course. What did you think our house would be like?”

“Since it’s Rent’s house, I thought it wouldn’t be ordinary.”

“Hehe, I thought that too before I visited Rent’s hometown for the first time. I thought there would be a lot of training equipment around the house or something?”

“That’s about right.”

“Ahaha…”

Except for the fact that I’m incredibly strong, our house is ordinary.

But I also thought it was inevitable that they would think that way.

I reached for the doorknob to open our house door.

But in the middle, I stopped the movement.

…Like last time, if I open it right away, I might see Mom and Dad’s lovey-dovey scene.

As their child, it’s good to see that they have a good relationship, but it would be awkward for them to show that to their child.

Let’s knock first.

Knock knock.

After knocking, a moment later.

“Yes, who is it?”

Dad opened the door and came out.

“Dad!”

“Oh! Son!”

Dad’s face lit up with a bright smile when he saw me.

Dad spread his arms wide, ready for a hug.

“Welcome home, son!”

“I’m home, Dad!”

Tap tap!

Dad and I hugged each other and patted each other’s backs.

“…They’re really close.”

I heard Tikia’s voice from behind, sounding somewhat envious.
