Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - V4 Chapter 11

Chapter 11: “Magic Eye vs. Muscles, Right?”

“Gahahahaha! My name’s Goro Kumazaki! Nice to meet ya!”

“A guy built like a bear calling himself ‘Kuma’… that’s just too much!”

Even with the thick body hair covering him, if those log-sized arms and legs grabbed someone, it’d be over. Whether psychic or not, you’d either be crushed to death or have your limbs snapped like twigs.

The hulking young man, Goro Kumazaki, had arms thicker than Senju’s thighs.

“This guy’s not someone I want to fight up close.”

“Everyone who faces me thinks the same thing! It’s a real mystery!”

“Take a hint, you muscle-bound freak!”

Kumazaki activated his spiritual power, reinforcing his body, and swung his massive fist.

Feeling a chill run down his spine, Senju instinctively leapt back just in time. Moments later, Kumazaki’s powerful strike left a crater in the spot where Senju had been standing.

“…Fast moves for someone with that build? That’s cheating.”

“Muscles will always reward you if you love them enough. You seem strong, but your training is lacking. Love your muscles more! They’re crying out for you to push them harder.”

“Stop having weird conversations about my muscles! It’s disgusting!”

Pushing his sunglasses down slightly, Senju activated his Magic Eye.

“Guys like you, who only rely on brute strength, are a terrible match for me. —Freeze!”

“—Wha?”

Kumazaki’s body stiffened under the effect of Senju’s Magic Eye.

Only his head moved, twisting as if to figure out what had just happened. Senju clicked his tongue in irritation.

(…This bear of a guy has seriously strong spiritual resistance. He’s probably connected to the Abe Clan or under their protection. But honestly, he’s on a whole different level compared to my crappy old man or my useless brothers when it comes to psychic ability and experience.)

Senju had intended to completely stop Kumazaki’s movements with his Magic Eye, but it didn’t work as planned.

Kumazaki clearly intended to kill Senju, but Senju wasn’t the type to take a life without reason. His goal was to stop the fight by paralyzing him, but that wasn’t enough.

Despite his appearance as a muscle-bound brute, Kumazaki had exceptional spiritual power and resistance, far beyond what Senju had expected.

“What’s with these lame tricks? Men should fight fist-to-fist! I love crushing yokai with these fists and stomping them under my feet!”

“Who cares! You freak—just stay down already!”

Senju dashed toward the immobilized Kumazaki, leapt into the air, and delivered a powerful, spirit-charged kick straight to his face.

Kumazaki’s stiffened body tumbled across the ground. While he hadn’t lost consciousness—impressive, considering the blow—he was no longer able to move, so he was no threat.

Pulling an e-cigarette from the pocket of his jinbei, Senju placed it in his mouth, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thin stream of smoke.

“Doesn’t matter how proud you are of your muscles or whatever. There’s no way you could beat someone blessed by the gods like me.”

〜〜Afterword〜〜

Although Senju says things like that, he hasn’t actually received any special blessings from Jack.
Next time, it’s Yusuke’s turn.
