A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 230: Behind the Fight # 1
Slightly back in time.
The castle city of Accra was suddenly caught in the crossfire of the town by the Wing Dragon.
While flying monsters are not uncommon, they appear to be giant dragons comparable to advanced ones.
The purple giant bird - like Torones - stays away from Accra, and even if he does, the sentinel soldiers will bow and magically shoot him down.
However, it is extremely difficult to intercept a dragon flying from a high altitude. It would be natural for the residents of the town to be afraid to fight against the dragon that attacked them as if they were falling at such a speed that the sentry would not have time to shoot the magic.
The Winged Dragon also raided the residence of the Vicomte de Velg, who ruled Accra. Not only the residents, but also the guards and patrolling soldiers could not help but be stunned.
Advanced monsters are, in other words, disasters of form. It would be easy to imagine what would happen if it went wild in the city.
(Hah... you're ahead of schedule. I'm in trouble with the bishop....)
Laurent, a Gregorian priest, was running in the alley as he sighed at the screams he heard from around him. Behind them, there are about five men and women who follow each other without expressions, and just like Laurent, who runs at the head, she runs with no footsteps.
They, they were priests and worshippers who had infiltrated Accra before Laurent. Some are dressed as merchants, others are dressed as plain as they seem to blend in, and some are dressed in inflammatory clothes that are as exposed as prostitutes.
Dresses are piecemeal, but what they all have in common is that they each have a weapon. Swords, spears, and daggers are also easy to get around in the city.
The leading runner, Laurent, hurried to the “destination”, making sure there were no signs of people on the way.
(Damn, why did I have to act like a thief...)
A raid that disregarded a tentative boss's schedule, in addition to a job that was originally unpleasant. As a result, Laurent's mood was on the decline, but there was no fool against the bishop among the less priestly Gregorians.
Even Laurent, who has powers close to the bishop, would be the same, and if the opponent were a 'figure', it would be more foolish to disobey than to disobey.
The boss in trouble will be raiding the house of Count Werg on the Wing Dragon by now, but unfortunately the boss in trouble is not “alone.” Running in the alley while being careful not to be seen, he met a girl near his destination.
"It's too late... it's troublesome, oh, it's troublesome..."
The girl murmurs as she sees Laurent rushing in.
Blonde hair with a slight habit of stretching to the shoulders and not reaching slightly to 160 centimeters in height. The face is beautiful, cute, and attractive to both men and women.
Laurent wondered, however, what about a white corset dress that emphasized a well-shaped inflated chest and a frill skirt that was clearly unsuitable for battle.
Girl - Laurent, who was in front of Rebecca, pushed her knees down with the priests behind her and lowered her head.
"Thank you for waiting, Bishop."
Rebecca-Bramarti, the sixth bishop of Grego.
It is a condition that leads to the bishop, but it is counted by the bishop without fulfilling that condition.
A rare variant of the bishop who was recognized by the bishop for not taking out a Wing Dragon comparable to his superior and putting it under his control.
Laurent would have won with pure combat technology, but he was a monster who couldn't have won in battle or killing each other.
(No, if the “guy” in front of me could win....)
Speaking of what Rebecca is afraid of, neither Rebecca in front of her nor Rebecca on the Wing Dragon attacked the Vicomte.
By using a magic tool called a magic doll, Rebecca herself is prevented from appearing. What would happen if Rebecca appeared on the front page? It was hard for Laurent to predict.
"It's troublesome, but should I go to work? I don't care if the Vicomte de Velg and I are" Otomodachi. "
"... Bishop?
If it's troublesome, why don't you cut off your job and retreat? It was Laurent who was thinking about that, but Rebecca suddenly stopped moving, making a curious voice.
Rebecca's expression fell out of her lazy face and her neck turned around. And I thought I looked at the void with a dazed look, and gradually my mouth began to hang.
"Fu... haha... ahahahahahaha!
And suddenly, he starts laughing. He opened his eyes, distorted his mouth happily, and raised a joyfully stained laugh.
"... Bishop? What the...?
Laurent shouted as if she was attracted to her boss, Kanna, who liked her. I can talk in a somewhat shattered tone if Kanna is the opponent, but Rebecca doesn't want to be a bad stimulus.
(Whoa... what's wrong? Is it suddenly broken?
An atmosphere of confusion is also conveyed by the priests behind them, but in this scene, Laurent is second to Rebecca. Just keep quiet and wait for Rebecca to answer Laurent's question.
"I found it... finally, I found it..."
Rebecca shakes her body and makes no joyfully dyed murmur. Embrace your body with both arms, close your eyes, and shake with emotion.
If it weren't for Laurent's feelings, it seemed like a glimpse of the different emotional colors in the joy - but I couldn't care less because the boss in front of me suddenly looked like he had gone mad.
"Ah, what should I do! How dare you! I can't believe we're meeting here! Sometimes I do my job properly even if I don't like it!
Laurent shuts her mouth because work hasn't started yet, but there wasn't an atmosphere where she could say such things. Behind his back, confused by the priests behind him, he waited for Rebecca to calm down a little.
"I wish I had come to the main unit! But that's a shame, yeah, that's a shame!
But Rebecca doesn't seem to calm down anyway.
Like a maiden of my age - when I could actually call her that - I felt like I was watching a strange nanica dye my cheeks into dust.
"Ahh... I'm sorry to bother you, but it's time to get to work.
I don't know what happened, but I don't have time to spare.
Anyway, my job is to break into the soldiers' lockup in the middle of nowhere. Although confused by the arrival of the Wing Dragon, the Knights of the House of Värg are powerful and well known. Even if you use Rebecca's abilities, it's better to have more time.
Laurent and the others are invading the fortress city of Accra because they were ordered to do so by one of the Archbishops of Gregory.
The content of the order is extremely simple: 'Grab the map belonging to the House of Värg'.
Not just in Accra, but in the surrounding towns and villages, the information held by the Viscount Verge is enormous. Among them, the map of the territory of the Vicomte de Vergue would be incredibly confidential.
How valuable would it be if it were a map of the Viscount Verge's borders with other countries?
From Laurent's point of view, it's a very irrelevant and unattractive job. I wonder why the Archbishop asks for a map of the Vicomte de Velg, but it doesn't matter from the bottom of my heart.
Rebecca's "protection" seemed to make it easy to get, but I didn't feel like it, and it seemed like I refused because it was troublesome. Or maybe Rebecca had something to think about.
Still, Rebecca came out like this because the Archbishop gave the order, or because it just happened to be fun.
Maybe we just want to make sure we can make a magic doll out of the slime "Nucleus" we got from “Last Job”.
"Well, yeah, let's do that. The only way to get rid of the hassle is right away. And... fufu, what should I do? Shall I disturb the house of the Vicomte? But this body is not for battle."
--Looks like he's lucky today.
Laurent, who saw Rebecca honestly accepting her words, whispered in her heart.
Even though it's over the magic doll, Rebecca can get a map if she's serious. The auxiliaries, too, but Laurent herself may be able to get the job done just by going to the assistant.
Laurent thought so and decided to follow Rebecca on her feet.
The Värg family is putting a lot of military effort into guarding the border. Hundreds of soldiers are in Accra alone, so much so that soldiers are packed in all directions, centered on the Viscount Verge, to keep the city safe.
Do you assume that there will be a battle in the castle of Accra, or a stone wall will be erected around the packing lot. It's not that high, but you think you can stand up and defend yourself when something happens.
Soldiers can hear noise from the barracks. I'm sure they're ready to intercept the attacking dragon.
Rebecca and the others walked along the stone wall and approached the filling. It depends on the number of soldiers, but if Rebecca can manipulate the number, and if there is an unmanipulable number, Laurent and the others come.
(I'm not going to kill you, but if there's at least someone who can help you, have a little fun -)
That was the moment I thought about it.
"Hmm!?
There is no front touch, and the stone walls next to it are scattered. At the same time, two arms covered in “black clothes” grabbed the necks of two priests walking right behind Laurent.
"What?!?
Then, thinking that the two priests were suddenly dragged into a hole, a short scream was raised along with the sound of crushing and folding the raw tree.
"... hey, no way..."
As the stone walls exploded, Laurent suddenly jumped out. Pull out the hip's curved sword according to the survival instinct faster than swinging about what happened.
"--Still working behind the scenes, pagans."
What followed was a sound of killing and anger.
Less than a second after hearing the voice, a man pops out of a hole in the stone wall.
"I wish I had someone I could handle... but that's unexpected."
There stood a man, Gilba, who was also afraid of the Gregorians.
