Bab 214: 214. Wanna Go To Another World?
Curious about the dragon slayer magic, Artorius got closer to Izumi's group and asked.
"You kids mentioned dragon slayer magic, what is that? I never heard it before."
"May I know who you are?"
"How rude of me not to introduce myself, I am Artorius, Yomi's old friend. In this restaurant, everyone called me Pork Loin-Cutlet."
Everyone except Izumi twitched their cheeks. It's kinda a weirdo to call himself by the nickname of a food.
Artorius is an old man who has long white hair and a thick white beard and mustache. His appearance looked like a rip-off version of a great wizard from the Lord of the Rings movie, Gandalf.
Izumi didn't know that Artorius got such a nickname because he ordered the same food all of the time since he visited Nekoya's restaurant. Moreover, he has been a loyal customer since long ago.
Izumi and his group introduced themselves, then Izumi told a little about dragon slayer magic. Basically, on the same level as other magic, dragon slayer magic was more effective against dragons. When dragon slayer magic reached a sufficient level, it was indeed more lethal if it was used against dragons.
Of course, after explaining Dragon Slayer magic, Izumi tried to ask if Artorius knew about telepathic magic since the old man looked like a strong and experienced wizard.
Artorius knew about telepathy magic, but he didn't understand how to apply it. So if Izumi wanted to learn it, he had to learn it by himself.
Hiiro could use telepathic magic, but he could only use it through his unique magic. That's why Izumi didn't ask him for telepathic magic.
In order to be able to use telepathic magic, Artorius explained how much magic power should be expended, how to convey the words that were on his mind to other people, and what the magic sequence looked like. Artorius explained them one by one.
It didn't stop there, Izumi asked about other magic in another world. And after he heard the words from Artorius, it seemed that in his world, the magic wasn't as strong as he thought. In that world, magic is quite a rare power. Only 1 in 10000 people have the talent to use magic. There is only one country that is an exception even though the people in that country generally don't have strong magic.
On the other hand, there are only 4 people who have the greatest magic power, they are the chosen heroes. And without further explanation, Izumi knew that Artorius and Yomi were heroes in that world after he felt almost the same power in their bodies.
But what surprised Izumi was a black-haired Elf-like woman who was now a waitress at Nekoya's restaurant. Her strength is much greater than Artorius and Yomi's as heroes.
Izumi didn't think that the waitress was the enemy or the last boss of the heroes either since she didn't have evil intentions. In addition, she was willing to be a waitress even when she had that strength. So, Izumi thought that the waitress was someone who managed the world that Artorius lived in. Something like an administrator.

After they talked about magic, Izumi tried to ask Artorius something else.
"Grandpa Artorius, if I may ask, is that middle-aged man an acquaintance of yours?"
Izumi pointed to a middle-aged man sitting next to where Artorius had sat before. He had thin hair tied in a ponytail, and a thin mustache and beard. He wears a simple kimono with a sleeveless haori covered with a cloak. What attracted Izumi was that he carried 2 katanas on his waist, as well as the sharp aura he gave off. There was no mistaking that the middle-aged man was an experienced swordsman.
"Yeah, he's an old acquaintance of mine. He's also a long-time customer at this restaurant?"
"Oh. Somehow, my blood boiled after seeing him. I want to compare my sword skill with his." Izumi stared at the middle-aged swordsman, Tatsugorō, intently. Izumi didn't know how strong Tatsugorō was. However, he believed that Tatsugorō was better than him in terms of sword skills. Perhaps, fighting against Tatsugorō was the best choice for Izumi to increase his sword skills.
On the other hand, Artorius could see Izumi's fighting spirit as soon as Izumi's gaze was on Tatsugorō. Artorius put a smile on his face.
"Oi, Teriyaki Chicken. Can you come here!?"
Izumi and his group were dumbfounded when old man Artorius called Tatsugorō. It was like the wizard said that each person from another world who visited this restaurant had a nickname for the food they liked.
Tatsugorō approached the seats of Izumi and the others. His head turned to Artorius and asked.
"What is it?"
"Well, this youngster seems interested in you."
"Oh."
As an experienced swordsman, he sensed that Izumi was also a swordsman like himself after taking a close look.
At that moment, Izumi introduced himself, as well as Tatsugorō.
"By the way, Tatsugorō-san. I felt your aura as a swordsman and I can't help it that I'm interested in sparring with you."
"Is it because you felt my aura that you are interested in sparring with me?"
Tatsugorō only smiled after Izumi said that he could feel his aura. It was doubtful that a youngster like him could sense his aura. Tatsugorō believed that Izumi said that just to compliment him. But what Izumi said next made him unable to believe it.
"Of course, not only that. You're strong as well. Although your strength is not as powerful as that gramp wizard and granny Yomi, I believe that your swordsmanship is top-notch in your world."
Tatsugorō clearly saw that Izumi was young, but unexpectedly he seemed experienced and knew how much power other people had just by looking at them.
"How old are you, kid?"
"Hmm, I'm 16."
Izumi answered after thinking for a moment. Take into account his visit to another world, he is already 16 years old since he already spent more than a year in the worlds he had visited.
Even so, his age was still relatively young which took Tatsugorō and Artorius by surprise. They thought Izumi was someone like a half-Elf who had a youthful appearance.
Meanwhile, Yomi thought Izumi had that power because he was summoned to another world as the hero as he mentioned earlier. He probably gained experience from that world so it was no strange he could feel the powers of Artorius, Tatsugorō, and even Yomi.
"I didn't think you were still young."
"You wouldn't underestimate me for knowing I'm still young, would you?"
"Hahaha. As a swordsman, I shouldn't underestimate others just because my opponent is young." Tatsugorō stopped talking for a moment. He looked at Izumi closely, then continued. "Okay then, but we can't do it here. I heard that you guys come from the same world as the owner of this restaurant. I doubt if you walk out that door you'll come into my world." Tatsugorō said while pointing at the front door of the restaurant.
"That's right. I'm with them right now." Izumi turned to Tabane, Rori, Karin, and Hiiro. He took them to Nekoya's restaurant to show them that there were restaurants that cater to customers from another world. So in the beginning, he had no intention of going to another world.
And what Tatsugorō said was true. If he exited through that door, instead of going to another world, he would return to his own world. But he had an idea. Even so, he had to ask Tabane, Rori, Karin, and Hiiro for their opinion.
Tabane gave her opinion.
"Hihihi, if Izumi-chan wants to go to another world, please take me along! Besides, I'm not busy either."
Rori nodded.
"I also have no problem going to another world. But how do we get there and return to your world?" Rori turned to Izumi while asking.
"If you want to return to your respective worlds, you can use items from the Dimensional Shop, right?"
After Rori expressed his opinion and asked, Hiiro answered Rori. Hiiro knew that he was from the same world as Izumi. As for an item in the Dimensional Shop, Hiiro already knew that there was an item that could be used to go to a world that the chat group members had visited by spending 1000 shop coins to buy it.
This time Izumi answered.
"As Hiiro said, we can go back to our worlds using that item. If we go to another world, we can simply follow old man Tatsugorō when he exits through that door, right?" Izumi said while pointing to the front door of the restaurant.
They all didn't mind if Izumi wanted to go to another world with them, moreover the four of them had nothing to do even though they returned to their own worlds.
