"Uh--!"
Before I had time to react, the wooden sword was already placed on my neck.
"Okay~~The victory has been decided!"
Marcia announced lazily on the side.
Alvin put away his sword and left the training ground with me silently.
"I'm telling you~~Gu Lao, you have to improve your physical strength first. You're already tired and unmotivated after just a short while!"
"I know, I know."
I treated Marcia perfunctorily and complained softly:
"To be honest, I always feel that doing these simulated fights every day is meaningless..."
"Ah! I heard it! You obviously asked us to practice with you, but now you still dislike it!"
"No, no... I originally thought that practicing for a long time would improve my reaction speed, but the results were not satisfactory. Naturally, I wondered if there was something wrong with the direction..."
"Eh~~ It's because you don't work hard, right? With your little amount of training, it will be useless for decades to practice. It's a waste of time~~ If you ask me, you might as well find a way to transfer the divine eye to someone else, once and for all!
”
"Stop blabbering! I have plenty of time... Ignorant kid."
"Ha?! You stubborn old man!"
Marcia looked annoyed and glared at me.
"Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel..."
Alvin acted as a good old guy as usual, and I wasn't angry to begin with, so his comfort target was mainly Marcia:
"Marcia, Gu Lao is not a soldier. The purpose of his training is not to join the war, so there is no need to be so strict..."
"Then don't ask us! What if his laziness is transmitted to me?"
"Well, you agreed at the time, didn't you? Wouldn't it be a bad idea to shirk all the responsibility?"
"Even Alvin said that about me! Which side are you helping?"
"Hey...it has nothing to do with me, right? Why do I have to express my attitude?"
"Hmm...Humph, since you said that, I will assume that you are here to help me, come on! Teach Gu Lao a lesson for me, who makes him unreasonable!"
"Why? Hey...you can tell at a glance that you are the unreasonable person."
I couldn't help but blurt out.
Marcia is really arrogant...but I don't mind quarreling with her.
"Wow! You're still talking back, so rude!"

Eh?
Before I could understand what message the divine eye gave me, Marcia suddenly came around behind me and strangled my neck.
The pressure that suddenly increased made it difficult for me to breathe. I tried my best to slap Marcia's arm, but she wouldn't let go... Damn it, this little girl is so strong!
"Hey! Let go quickly, Gu Lao is about to suffocate!"
"I don't! Unless...he promises to have a fight with me!"
"You just want to hit him, right? Put your hands down!"
"So what!"
Marcia asked back without showing any signs of weakness, and then leaned close to my ear:
"Do you agree?"
If she strangled her again, I would have to pass out. In my daze, I squeezed out one word:
"Well..."
......
In this way, I was already exhausted and had to fight with Marcia.
"No problem?"
Before walking onto the training ground, Alvin looked at me worriedly.
"Are you sure? Could it be that...you have mastered the mutual injury technique?"
Mutual injury technique? Ah, I would have completely forgotten it if you didn’t tell me.
"How could it be? The problem is huge, I definitely can't beat her."
I tell the truth.
"I think so... don't force it. Marcia has probably calmed down. Don't provoke her later. Just give her a try and surrender."
"Hmm."
I nodded.
However, I had no intention of surrendering at all - on the contrary, being coerced by Marcia made me furious.
She will definitely not be able to beat her, but no matter what, she must suffer a little.
Enter the training ground.
The training ground is oval-shaped and is used exclusively for physical training on weekdays. As for magic training, it is conducted in an empty and uninhabited area outside the town.
Marcia stood on the other side of the training ground, looking eager to try.
"I won't show mercy. It's still too late to surrender now!"
Her shouts were filled with disdain.
"The same goes for you, don't cry when you lose, little brat!"
I seemed to hear Alvin sighing from the sidelines.
"What?! You are the little brat!"
An angry Marcia rushed towards me.
I raised my fists - for safety reasons, Alvin stipulated that both parties in this fight were not allowed to carry weapons.
Marcia has come to me.
So fast!

Having already decided not to rely on divine purpose, I relied on instinct to turn to the right——
——Marcia then kicked to the right. I caught the blow with my arm and staggered back a few steps.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Marcia's eyes, she distanced herself from me, and smiled proudly:
"Ouch~~Does it hurt? If you don't surrender, it will hurt even more next time."
"Smelly brat——"
Taking this opportunity, I rubbed my aching arm:
"He's so strong, maybe he's covered in hard muscles..."
"Who is so hard all over?"
Marcia yelled and ran towards me——
At the same time, the Divine Eye sent a series of predictions——
"Jump to the left."
Suddenly, a strange voice appeared in my head.
Without hesitation, I ignored the odds given by the divine eye and jumped to the left like I was grabbing a life-saving straw.
"The outcome has been decided!"
Alvin announced.
...Huh?
I looked down and saw that I was already outside the arena, which was equivalent to voluntarily giving up the qualification to fight.
"How is this..."
"Eh~~What? After working on it for a long time, I still gave up. It's boring!"
Not far away, Marcia’s tone was mixed with sarcasm.
"I..."
I hesitated to speak, but I couldn’t say that I did this after obeying an order from an unknown person... That would definitely lead to a new round of ridicule from Marcia.
But...what exactly is going on?
......
Coming out of the guard camp, the sunlight is not very dazzling and the temperature is quite suitable.
With doubts in mind, I moved slowly along the street.
"Well, there's no one else waiting, it's time for me to communicate with you."
At this time, the voice sounded again.
"Wow, you finally spoke again. I thought it was my imagination."
I stopped.
"It's really rude. I just wanted to talk in a quieter place. Besides, I clearly saved you, but you are not grateful. It really disappoints me."
"What's your weird way of talking...Huh? You saved me? When? I only know that you made me lose the fight."
"You stupid person, you don't have the strength to defeat that little girl. It will be a matter of time before you lose the fight. Thanks to me, you have suffered less."
"..."
I knew I was wrong and gave up the argument.
"...Um, who are you?"
"I? I thought you already understood it, otherwise you wouldn't talk to me so calmly... It turns out that I overestimated you."
I'm just not surprised, after all, I've lived a long time...
"Okay... tell me who you are quickly, or get out of my head."
"...I am the devil's destined spouse."
"Ah..."
Is this guy with a deep voice destined to be a mate...wait, [Demon is destined to be a mate]?
"Hey, are you a magical mate?"
I can't help but be more vigilant.
Dating is divided into four types: the most common [Spiritual Dating], the rare [Superior Dating] and [Devil Dating], and the rarest [Divine Dating].
Among them, demonic betrothal has a negative effect on the host, and except for special circumstances, anyone who has entered into a contract with a demonic betrothal will be expelled upon discovery - these expelled persons are a major source of "demons". p>
"..."
"Hey! Answer me quickly."
I urged.
"Before I explain, I suggest you... don't stand on the street and shout loudly."
"Well..."
I looked around and found that the pedestrians passing by were looking at me in confusion - in their eyes, I had become a weird guy talking to myself.
I didn’t want to make a fool of myself in front of the people in the small town... I was so embarrassed that I quickly lowered my head and walked away quickly.
"Go to the mountain to the east. There is no one there. I can show you my abilities by the way... I am a spiritual match, so you don't have to think too much."
"Well..."
......
"Phew—I'm saved."
Standing on the top of the mountain, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, the environment here is good."
"Can you see it too?"
"Your eyes are my eyes... Even if I don't have to look, I can still hear - I was a hunter when I was alive, and I have excellent hearing."
"Oh oh oh..."
I can understand what it refers to as "before death" - Dating is an invisible object that wanders everywhere, transformed by the undead souls who were attached to this world thousands of years ago and did not want to be reincarnated.
Well, this guy used to be a hunter.
"That means you are my destined spouse?"
"How is that possible? You and I have not signed a contract yet."
"...By the way, don't you want to show your ability?"
Since it’s a spiritual matchmaking, the ability to find a partner is probably not strong, so I don’t have any expectations.
"My abilities have stages. Only when you have the corresponding endurance can you exert my full strength."
"..."
"Before I tell you my ability, you need to know the principle of my ability - my ability is actually to re-create a body exactly like yours in your body. You can't see its appearance.
But you can give it a soul and use it to control it, you..."
"..."
This is a lot of nonsense about dating.
"...Thus, I can double the increase in one of your body functions, and I can only increase one item at a time."
"..."
Finally got to the point.
As expected, very weak.
"So what physical functions can I increase now?"
"Only arm strength."
"..."
"...Are you listening?"
"It's so weak...your ability."
"..."
The guy in my head didn't refute, as if he agreed with my complaint with silence, which actually made me a little embarrassed.
"Hey, are you willing to let me be your host?"
Let me ask.
"I don't want to, but I have no choice."
A stinky partner will always make an extravagant decision.
"...Then why choose me?"
"I have observed you for a long time. Your fate is of great benefit to me. You are immortal, so I don't mind spending time with you."
"Heh..."
I couldn't help but sneer:
"Destiny? For a dispensable person like me... the future must be ordinary."
"It's hard to say. You are in a world that was not created by your own hands. You are forced to accept the body given to you by the world, face people you cannot control, and deal with events that you cannot control or predict... Your situation is...
As far as this world is concerned, everything is passive."
"..."
"Your fate has nothing to do with you."
"So?"
"So, it is difficult for you to control your own destiny alone, and the same will be true in the future. For me, who likes the unknown, it is worth looking forward to."
"Well..."
I fell into deep thought.
"From your perspective, even if I don't use my abilities, I can still help you receive and judge the information of the divine gift, so that you can respond quickly."
"Do you know the purpose of divinity?"
"From the moment I entered your body, I felt...it is obvious that you need a partner who can transform complex prophecies into simple instructions."
Listening to it, this is really what happened...
Although this guy's ability is weak, it's better than nothing... Besides, dating is very rare in a small town, so it's not good to be picky...
"Okay..."
I decided:
"I want to be your master."
"You think so well, my relationship with you is at best that of a partner rather than a master and servant."
"Okay...how to make a contract?"
I'm too lazy to argue anymore.
"Just give me a name."
"Like naming a pet?"
"..."
"It's easier than I thought..."
I thought for a few seconds and said:
"Gail - how?"
"Gale...it fits my image of greatness, hmm..."
It seems that I agree.
It must not have guessed that "Gal" is what I came up with based on the abbreviation of "Galgame".
"Can I use your abilities?"
"Of course."
As soon as Gale finished speaking, I immediately felt a surge of power surge into my right arm.
Wow......
Out of curiosity, I walked to a nearby tree and swung at it vigorously——
"It hurts!"
"Your arm strength is too small. If you hit the tree with twice the arm strength, you will only get double the pain."
"..."
I sighed as I was asking for trouble.
My partner is weak, and so am I. We are in the same boat...
It turns out that dating exists like this... at least it enriches the experience.
"Hey..."
I suddenly remembered something and couldn’t wait to ask Gale:
"Gale, can you become physical?"
Although Gale's voice sounds very dull, I am very interested in whether this guy can materialize.
Maybe, Gale’s entity is a super beautiful girl.
Hey hey hey...
"No, but you can fantasize about my majestic male body."
