The Ogre group had invaded the city.
Will there be thirty cats in the number?
"Are you coming to this place?"
"Augga is a monster of rank A." If I had the strength, I would have some intelligence. But you're in the wrong place. This is where the lions live, even the Beastmen. "
It wasn't just the Protector Beastmen. Even the general population is taking part in the battle. Among them was Ronnie's figure.
I don't know what a giant auger three meters is.
He was steadily taking down each one.
At first glance, it seemed like nothing was wrong, but there was something troubling about it.
"... no one is doing any rescue work?"
Seems so.
――……
Exactly now a girl was about to be attacked.
We've finally found the weaklings while the Augur has been ravaged. With a smile on his face, he raised the club to the point that it was easier to grasp the logs.
The girl seemed to be pulling out her hips, and she couldn't move her buttocks.
Don't worry. We'll make it.
I was running, thinking of a way to deal with such a scene calmly.
Formula - [Ichinoshi]
The Augur's torso splits into two.
I couldn't let a girl see such a horrible sight. I stood in front of the girl to cover up the auger.
Are you okay?
She has completely scared eyes.
I felt like I was looking at my ears and tail, like a girl from the Lion Clan.
"T-That's amazing..."
I hid the sight, but the girl seems to have noticed what I did.
"It's dangerous here. Let's go."
Give the girl a hand. A soft, small hand receives it.
For the time being, I took the girl in my arms and headed for a safe place. - Quenna.
"It seems that there are other people who have been attacked." Take this child. Maybe I'll bring a few more. "
Honestly, we don't have time to get back to the center of town.
As a result, only Quena could fight while protecting the Beastman against the Augur.
"That's why I'm your guardian." Come on, come on. "
While putting your hand on your waist, you sigh and accept.
Then --- we did a rescue operation that no one else did.
As we retreated from the Augur onslaught, we were able to restore the city at an early stage.
But the Protector is chasing the fleeing Augur. The work seems to be carried out by the residents of the city.
"Good, that was helpful. Thank you very much."
From among the rescued beasts, a plump man with ears of centipede came forward. The Augur invasion was missing a few round glasses.
"Ahh, I don't have to worry about it...... were you okay?"
Attempts to use unfamiliar salutations fail.
I think we still need to practice.
A man smiles as he picks up the marine cap.
"Thanks to you, the whole family is safe." I run a magic store in Bictan. ”
Pointing to some of the streetscapes that are being destroyed by the Augur.
A magic item...?
“I'm Zed. I'm an adventurer."
"Yes, I know you very well. If you need any help, please let me help you. I don't have the strength, but if you want to talk about magic items, I'll help.”
Bactan said so, lowered his head lightly and walked away.
Even if you knew me, you didn't seem to hate me.
The other beasts bow their heads to me and we'll get to work on the restoration.
And finally, there was only one person left.
It was the first lion girl I helped.
"What's the matter? Where's your family?"
……
Sometimes my eyes look at me like I'm lost.
It does not replace determination, only time passes in a reckless manner.
I can't help it, so I think I'll have someone take care of it...
"Zeed"
Ronnie came back.
"Don't you have to go after Ogre?"
"That's what we want them to do."
"If it's a feat, I wish I could help you restore the city..."
Quena blurs as she sees the city partially destroyed by the Augur.
Contrary to Quena's opinion, Ronnie shook her head.
"Such a thing is nothing to add." - That's why I wanted to ask you. Why help the weak? "
Ronnie glanced at the lion girl.
“Do you have a reason to help?”
"Instinctively, I have a desire to help. That's for sure. But it doesn't make sense."
"It makes sense."
"Hey, I really need to know."
"They will be weak if they are strong or weak." However, other than the armpits, there are other things that we are losing. At least I can't make magic items. "
I was the first to think about civilization. There was a big difference from the forbidden forest floor where I lived by strength alone.
"Fufu, you know that." But it's a difference in value. Magic items are certainly useful. But it was inferior to power. It was the power that actually stopped the Augur invasion. "
"That's why we should help each other."
"Are you talking about the wall that protects the city?" Then they should make it on their own. "
Oh, that's because the monsters are interfering ~!
A girl from the Lion Clan came into the room.
Then you can make a request.
“No, it's going to be a long time at this scale. There's not enough money or manpower."
Quena rebutted Ronnie's cynical words.
“In other words, it's only worth it. If it's really important, the best warriors and protective hands will move directly.”
"At first glance, you can't find all the value." Magic items are now being used on the battlefield. I've heard that some people in the human race have shown the work of the leading class, and depending on the individual user, some people can also work in the "Sage" class. "
"... um"
Quena's words silenced Ronnie.
That was brilliant. I can't say because I think Quenna will be in a bad mood, but there are parts that are similar because the same blood passes as Ruina.
Gahhhhhhh!!
Augur's roar.
The men of the Dragon tribe were attacked.
Shit, you missed it. Looks like he was hiding. I wish I had used Detection Magic. Focus your strength on your feet as you refute such reflection.
But...
Ronnie was moving faster than I was.
The Augur can be lightly kicked up. Ronnie's massive masses dance through the air and hit the ground with more blows.
“Well, yes, it makes sense for Zido, Quena, and Seneria.”
Ronnie smiled uncompromisingly.
It is a flexible response that has just disappeared. It even makes you feel your vessel.
Ronnie then took the auger and headed to the edge of the city. Probably because it's in the way of restoring the city.
"... hmm? Seneria?"
Suddenly, a name came up that bothered me.
But before I could ask any questions, I heard a voice from next to me.
“It's my name. My name is Seneria."
Big eyes look up at me.
The Lion Girl - it looked like Senelia.
What, did you know Ronnie?
"Actually, I know my brother..."
Oh, that's right.
I felt uncomfortable because it was somehow familiar to me. Nevertheless, they seemed to be hostile to each other, so there would be room for judgment as to whether they were good friends.
Is the house going to be okay?
"Yes, thanks to you, I was safe." In the first place, my house is more central.... "
"I see. Then we should go home soon." It doesn't necessarily mean there's no auger hiding like that. "
"I see... I see."
Seneria nodded frankly, though she seemed to say something.
"Now, Quenna, let's go home." Let's come back when the feast is over. "
"That's what I'm talking about." I wonder if we can stay. "
Quena suggests with a strange look on her face.
Why?
If it's only about a week or so, you'll have to travel back and forth to save time.
Can you use metastasis? There's some distance, but not if it's me and Quenna. As expected, because of the limitations of magic power, it can't be used continuously.
"There are other reasons." I heard about Ronnie's inaugural festival earlier, but can we help? "
"Can you help me? I don't think I can participate in the tournament."
You'll even be able to see it.
If I had fought with Ronnie, it would have been a booming storm. Not to mention the fact that the audience is about to get on board.
"It's not a tournament. It's about voting."
"Oh, there it is." That's true, but what counts is prowess, right? ”
"No. Voting is not a temporary battle." I think the intention of this is to determine whether or not it is worthy of the Protector. "
Huh?
Quena's words are so hard, she's so smart.
Apparently, Quena can bite her forehead down and tell me.
"If you only measure simple strength, you don't have to focus on objectivity." That's why the best fighters are the strongest. But this time, Ronnie said it was just for deciding on the "protector". "
"Oh, you said it was one of the prizes to be a protector."
"Doesn't that mean that your usual work experience will affect your vote?"
"Does that mean that personality is also valued?"
It's doubtful that the Beastman's personality will be evaluated... but it's a similar story.
In light of your work and your everyday work, you decide whether you want to be a protector. If you think about it, is it strange that someone with bad behavior should take on duties like protecting the national capital?
“I understand somehow, but what's wrong with that?”
“Opportunity is the point where we can help Ronnie.”
Quena's eyes shone brightly.
It's kind of cute with a sloppy look.
"...... I have to find a place to stay before then."
Quena looks up at the sky.
The sunset is beginning to tilt.
It's almost dark.
It's a place to stay. I don't know...
I wanted to know why I stayed in the Beastman Clan as long as I could.
But I don't doubt it because it's what Queena says. It means that there is something wrong with it.
Then we have no choice but to stay.
Then we have to find a place to stay. As soon as possible before the sun sets.
"Zed... maybe I'll be camping again."
Isn't that right?
It's a hard place for those who don't like it.
It reminds me of when I came to the capital of the country of Auhemus. My gaze hurt a lot. That's not the vibe of staying in an inn.
There may be a place where you can stay if you pay a lot of money somewhere, but you probably don't have enough time to find it.
After all, it was one hand to transfer and return to the human race.
"Oh, um, would you mind staying at my house?"
Ugh. Seneria.
Are you still there? Is it a bad mouth to say that?
But I thought I'd just left.
"No, you can't just take care of me." I don't want to bother you. "
"I can't believe it's annoying! I just want to thank you for your help!"
"... hmmm"
"Isn't it nice?" Let them stay with you. ”
Yeah, definitely!
I couldn't refuse Senelia with a smile on my face.
