【The Old Man of the Expelled Inn Unwittingly Dominates Today Too】Although I Want to Lead a Slow Life, for Some Reason the Strongest Beauties Who Hold Important Positions in the Country, and Were Once My Disciples, Gather Around Me Asking to Be Hired – Even Though I Only Taught Them a Little～ - Chapter 64: Old Man Throws a Stone at the Demon Lord

“Was it youuuu, who erased my Dark Meteor, my dark comet magiccc?!”

He seems really angry. His whole body is shivering, and a blue vein pops out on his forehead.

When I rushed over to Cal’s side, the Demon Lord came at us furiously.

“Who in the world are you! What was that magiccc?!”

Magic? Is he talking about the fake meteor thing?

“Look, I can’t use magic.”

“Not magic, you say!? You’re not a human, then! Could it be… an inhabitant of the heavens!?”

Heavens? What’s he talking about? This makes no sense.

Seems like he’s got something wrong.

“I’m just an old man.”

“An old man?”

Hey, hey, don’t tell me he doesn’t know what an old man is.

It seems like the seal was in place for too long, and he’s gone senile.

“An old man, you know, is a general term for a middle-aged man you’d find anywhere.”

“I know that muchhhh! An old man erased my magic, you sayyy? Don’t joke with meee!”

The Demon Lord starts to shake with anger again.

Is he emotionally unstable? No, he must have just woken up on the wrong side of the bed.

“Don’t get cocky, you insignificant worm! Very well… I shall slaughter you with my ultimate magic!”

Saying so, the Demon Lord begins to chant in an unknown language.

The previous one wasn’t much of a magic, but this one might be a dangerous spell… He seems to be mixing up magical power with endless, nonsensical words.

The only thing that can counter the Demon Lord’s magic is…

I look over at Cal.

“Cal, can you hit him with a big one?”

“Of course!”

Her magic is the only option!

“Alright! I’ll buy us some time, so go all out!”

“Understood! With Baldo here, I can concentrate. I won’t lose to the likes of a Demon Lord!”

Cal puffs up her small chest, mixing 【Fighting Spirit】 and 【Magic Power】.

Well then…

It’s my turn.

I take a deep breath…

And circulate 【Fighting Spirit】 throughout my body, pouring it into a pebble I received from Liena.

Tightly, more densely than before.

The Demon Lord is still chanting in that incomprehensible language.

It must be a powerful spell… but.

The best defense is a good offense!

“Here goes——!”

With my whole body, I threw the pebble.

Glowing red, it streaks straight towards the Demon Lord.

“What’s this? The same attack as before? Futile, I have automatic defense magic. No magic can affect me! Dark Magic Defense Wall Dark Shield×10!”

Black walls appear in front of the Demon Lord, not just one but many.

So this is a magical defense wall…

The pebble doesn’t slow down, breaking through all the walls.

“Guha——!!”

The Demon Lord, hit directly by my fake meteor, contorts his body in agony.

But… what’s with these walls? There’s no resistance. He’s far from fully recovered. Besides, an old man’s stone isn’t magic.

“Impossibleee… You broke through all my walls?”

“Well, it’s not magic. It’s a stone hardened with 【Fighting Spirit】.”

“Guha~. Fighting Spirit, you say… You’re a descendant of those detestable heroes, aren’t you?”

Heroes? What’s he talking about? He must be senile.

Sigh… I guess I have to explain again.

“Let me tell you once more! I’m just an innkeeper——Baldo!”

“Baldo… That’s what the prince mentioned… GugaAAAaa!”

With a groan of agony, the Demon Lord’s body creaks.

My fake meteor, still embedded in the Demon Lord, hasn’t lost its propulsion.

And… having lost his footing, the Demon Lord is blown away into the sky.

“GoOOoOO! ——Curse that prince! What’s this about just an old man!”

While being blown away, the Demon Lord continued to curse.

Of course, I didn’t think that a mere stone thrown by an old man could deal with the Demon Lord.

The finishing blow was—

The sky was dyed a deep red.

It seemed everything was ready.

“Cal—go all out!”

I signaled to the girl standing behind me.

“Blow away—Mega Meteor Magic, Giga Meteor!”

From the crimson sky, a gigantic rock headed towards the Demon Lord…

No way—huge!?

Incredible, Cal… It’s almost like a small mountain…

That terrifyingly huge rock met the Demon Lord in the air, who had been blown up from the ground. With the Demon Lord’s pitiful scream, “Fugyan!” as the last thing heard, the sky was filled with an explosion and flashes of light, followed by a roaring blaze.

After a while—

The tremendous flames gradually subsided.

The blue sky returned.

There was no sign of the Demon Lord.

“Completely annihilated?”

“Yeah, I don’t feel the Demon Lord’s magical power at all. And his minions are disappearing too.”

Oh, just as Cal said, the Demon Lord’s army was disappearing one after another. It must be because we defeated their leader. Cheers of joy could be heard from everywhere.

“Ca, Calut-dono—!”

A few men dressed as mages rushed over. They must be comrades who fought alongside Cal.

“We did it! Amazing… We’ve defeated the Demon Lord’s army…”

The man who seemed to be a lieutenant excitedly offered his hand to Cal. He was looking for a handshake.

Should I stop this…? I feel bad interrupting their moment of emotion—!?

“Cal…!?”

Cal also reached out and shook the man’s hand. She quickly let go and hid behind me.

The sky…

Was not red.

“I see… you’ve grown.”

I wiped my hand on my sleeve and vigorously patted Cal’s head, who made a sullen face.

“Wha, what Baldo! Stop, I’m not a child anymore!”

Even though she pouted, Cal’s face turned red, too cute to handle. So, I ended up patting her head again.
