◆ Shizufe

"My name is Kelia. and the family of the Great Wind. Who are you trying to take away our prince?

Harpy, named Kelaire, looks down at us and says.

Harpy is a feminine bird, that is, a woman whose face to chest is human, and whose wings and lower body are eagles.

It's a very fast monster. Also known as the "predator".

The harpy is in front of me.

I thought there would be Harpy, but I don't know what to do when I actually meet him.

"Why didn't you answer anything? Mmm?"

Kelia's gaze turned towards Novis.

"Hello, are you here to offer us a prince? But no. The man is growing up too much. If you're going to bring me, bring me a cute little girl with thin lines."

Kelaia shook her head and replied.

"I don't want to be liked by a bird girl, but don't get upset."

The denied Novis says in a mood.

No matter how much I don't like my opponent, I can't help feeling disgusted if they refuse.

"Indeed, according to a book that summarizes Harpy's ecology, Harpy likes boys who are instinctively easy to grab."

Maddie explains.

Well, it's easier for a boy who is lighter than a heavy adult to grab it.

Harpy instinctively likes cute boys with thin lines.

What a pleasure!!!!

But tell me what's bothering you.

Now, Harpy said so did you. Maybe... No, Finaeus wasn't captured. They sold it to Harpy.

So who sold it? I know that.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kelaire. I made a little mistake, and I made a mistake bringing the kid in, so can you give me back the kid that's there now? I'll bring a lot of better kids later."

I tell a lie at once.

But you're not like the one who brought this kid here.

How dare you deceive me?

"Mr. Walrus will explain later. We came to pick her up first."

How about this?

When I say it, Kelaire meditates.

Then, after a few seconds, he suddenly opens his eyes.

"No. I feel a faint hostility from you."

Shit. Did you sense hostility?

Kelia spreads her arms with wings.

"Guys, get your weapons up! Coming!!

When I scream, everybody holds their weapons.

Suddenly Kelia disappears.

"Shizufe!!!

Kaina's sister screamed.

Squeeze your body to the right.

My shoulder hurts.

I look at my right shoulder and the skin on my shoulder is ripped open and bleeding from it.

"Uuu...."

Hold your shoulders.

Dangerous. I would have had my neck cut before.

"Are you okay? Shizufe-san!!

That's how Reilia casts healing magic.

"Well, you avoided it. I thought I'd drop your neck first."

Kelia laughs as she flies in the air.

"Haah!!

Nora releases her bow.

However, it is said to be flabby.

"Hmm! That's an arrow! Take this!!

Kelia wings.

"Guys, behind me!!

The next moment, feathers fly like arrows from Kelia's wings.

The feather arrow is blocked by my shield.

"Oh, don't do it."

Kelaia's impressive voice.

That face has plenty of room. I feel like I'm being fooled.

"Hey, what do we do, Shizufe? If they were flying in the sky, my sword wouldn't reach them."

Novis' impatient voice. Novis couldn't do anything without reaching the sword.

No matter what they say, I don't know what to do either.

"A noble species like you who can only crawl the ground and dance in the sky with females will lose."

Harpy laughs softly.

"Darkness!!

Maddy casts magic where she's laughing.

"Nah!!

Kelia's surprised voice.

"Shh?! Did it work?

Maddie is surprised.

Speaking of which, this may be the first time Maddie's magic has been useful in this request.

Kelia flies around.

"Damn it!! How dare you!! Remember!!

You won't be able to fight in the blind, fly away from here.

"I did it!! My magic helped!!

As I know myself, Maddy's magic is weak. As a result, magic often doesn't work for the opponent.

That's why I'm so happy it's going well. He's a pitiful boy.

"You did it! Maddie!!"

"Wow! Maddy!!

"Let's do it!!

That's Maddie.

Ehehehehehehehe. The book says that Harpy is less resistant to darkness, but I didn't think it would work this well. "

Maddy is delighted that Keena's sister, Leelia, Nora and Novis have praised her.

"You did it, Maddie. But, everyone, it's time to help you, Finaeus. Not if Harpy comes back."

Everyone returned to reality in my words.

"Are you okay, Novis?

Above his head, Novis came down with a rope wrapped around his back.

"It's okay, Shizufe. It's light."

Novis smiles at me downstairs.

Soon the two of you will come down.

"Are you okay, Finaeus?

Run to Finaeus.

Finaeus is a thin boy and looks like a girl.

"Yes, do something. Because I was cherished...."

Harpy takes care of the boy he caught.

But the living environment is too different between Harpy and humans.

It is too harsh for humans to live in Harpy's neighborhood.

Harpy also seems to know that, and imprisoned at the foot of the mountain as much as possible.

But it will still be tough for humans.

Anyone with a robust body like Novis can't stand a boy like a girl with such a thin line.

In fact, Finaeus is quite disturbed.

More than a week has passed since he was seized. My clothes are worn out.

I'm not feeling well either. We'd better hurry back to the Alm Kingdom.

"Novis, hold Finaeus. I'll be right back."

"Oh, okay. Just be patient."

That's how Novis carries Finaeus.

"I'm sorry...."

"I don't mind. I have no further complaints now. But be a good warrior. If there's anybody in trouble, I'll be the man to protect it."

Novis smiles nicely and laughs at Finaeus.

Basically, Novis is a nice guy.

I won't complain now that I've come this far.

"Yes, I understand. I will be a fine warrior like you."

Finaeus answers clearly. I was impressed by Novis' words.

However, Finaeus' cheeks became a little red.

It's kind of a strange vibe.

Everybody, let's go.

We hurried back the way we came.

Then, in the evening, I was able to return to the Titan ruins.

"Everybody!!

Nora will stop us in front of the Titan ruins.

"What's wrong? Mr. Nora?"

I will probably ask Nora.

"Ambush. They must be the ones."

We all look to the words.

"Guys, get your weapons ready."

Everyone takes a weapon, I say.

"Um, what's wrong?

Finaeus, who got off Novis' back, sounded anxious.

"Maybe Walrus and the others are waiting for us."

Finaeus screams small.

"What?! You need a commander?!

"Yes, the people who sold you to Harpy."

It was mysterious.

I wonder why Harpy caught Finaeus in the middle of nowhere.

Why was it so easy to get to where Finaeus was?

The place where Finaeus was captured was too close to the kingdom of man.

But if they didn't take it, but sold it to humans the same way, that's not the case.

Rather, it makes sense that humans are easy places to come.

Perhaps that was the place to trade with Harpy.

"Don't hide, get out! I know you're here!!

Kaina's sister screams at the Titan ruins.

Then, about fourteen or five armed men come out.

I see those who are at the heart of the men.

Definitely Walrus. Behind it stands Master Kirius.

I don't think there's a boy I saw in the ship.

"Hmm! I can't help it. Well, if you have elves, I won't fool you. And I didn't expect you to take down the black dog Atrana gave you."

After all, that black demon dog was under Walrus' command.

Perhaps it was a gatekeeper to prevent others from going where Finaeus is.

To get to that place, it is normal to camp in the ruins of the Titans.

"After all, you sold Finaeus to Harpy, right?

"Ah, yes, the young lady of the war. Still, there's nothing worth it. I didn't know there were people to help the hungry, but there were people who loved things. If that's the case, you should have told him that his mother hadn't grabbed him, but that he had been eaten by a monster. Then nobody will look for you. I'm still sweet too."

Walrus smiles slightly as he looks at Finaeus.

Looking behind us, Finaeus hides behind our backs to escape Walrus's sight.

Look at that, anger is coming up from inside me.

"Wait a minute! What are you thinking of selling the same person while you're the same person!!

That's how I point my sword at Walrus.

"Hmm! Sell people, huh? Huh! What's wrong with that? Look at the Republic of Ariadia! They don't fight, they cheat, they live good lives! In this world! A cheating guy does a good thing!!

Walrus' eyes are twitching.

The eyes complain of anger.

I don't know how that feels.

Lost his country by monsters, wandered, and flowed to the free city of Tessecia.

And when I saw the Republic of Ariadia, I thought,

I wonder if there is such a big country or if there are people living in such a rich country.

But I thought about it at the same time.

Cheat.

My country is not rich. I was always threatened by monsters.

Yet the citizens of the Republic of Ariadia live inside the splendid walls without being attacked by monsters.

With such a splendid castle wall, my country might not have died.

So I somehow know how Walrus feels.

But...

I look behind Finaeus.

That's why you can't sell the same person.

Finaeus has a slightly similar situation to mine.

He lost his father in the same way and became a freedom fighter in the same way.

I was lucky because I had Kaina's sister.

By the time I was a Freedom Warrior, if my sister hadn't helped me, she would have died soon.

But Finaeus was not blessed.

The warriors who joined were willing to sell Finaeus from the beginning.

As a general rule, you must be prepared to die before you become a warrior, but isn't it different in this case?

"I don't know what happened to you in the past! But Finaeus can't sell you to monsters!!

"Ugh! Don't talk like a little girl! There's more over here! You guys, let's go!

The Green Warriors, led by Walrus, take weapons.

"Finaeus, look. I'm going to tell you who the real warrior is."

When Novis laughed at Finaeus nicely, he stood up with a great sword.

That face seems very anxious.

"Novis is right. Are we going to lose to them?"

Knights, soldiers, freedom fighters. These are all called warriors.

Warriors exist to protect people from monsters.

Sell human beings to monsters that should be protected. These aren't warriors. It's just a sidewalk.

We cannot afford to lose to them.

We and Walrus confront each other with weapons.

"Shizu... The teacher is strong."

"I know."

The magician is far behind Walrus and the others.

Aren't you willing to fight?

"You bastards!!

Five men in the Green Warriors' Corps hold a bow and shoot an arrow.

"Does such an arrow work?!!

I will build a shield with Reina's protection.

Arrows naturally fall by shields.

We keep our distance before we hold the next arrow.

"Shit! Next arrow!!

Walrus screams. Of course, I can't give you that time.

Nora shoots at someone who is about to hold a bow with a quick shot.

Then, Kenna's fast-legged sister threw herself into the opponent, and then Novis, who was holding a great sword, threw out Walrus's companions.

The action of the two defeats half in an instant.

Weak.

From the movement, you can see that you have practically no training as a warrior.

On the contrary, some people think they are drinking alcohol.

All I can think of is that they're licking the fight.

Perhaps he didn't fight monsters, but cheated. That's why we can't fight in times of need.

This is stronger than the Goblins who were trying to fight seriously.

"Shit! The sorcerer's husband! Help me!!

Walrus and the rest of them escape to the magician.

"Commander, I don't like to fight. But I can't help it. Come out."

The magician said something came out in the back wearing a huge robe.

A huge robe falls under the floor. Out came a big man with his whole body hardened with armor.

"This is the strongest undead warrior my mentor, Talaboss, has ever made. And this armor has the effect of completely blocking sunlight. Can we beat you?

The wizard laughs.

"Now, kill them in front of you!!

An armored warrior waves his sword.

Oh?

Walrus' neck fell in front of the Undead Armor.

"Shit. Speaking of which, the commanders were in front of me... This warrior is still under development and cannot accommodate and change orders. Give up thinking it's bad luck."

The wizard's voice is a little sorry.

It's as if Walrus and the others didn't think about their lives.

An immortal armor (Undead) kills Walrus's people in front of him.

The movement is very fast.

"Help me!!

Kaina, our sister and the friends of Walrus, blown up by Novis, are asking us for help.

"What do you want to do? Shizufe-san?"

Reilia asks me with a troubled face.

"I can't help it. But I'll stick it in the right place later!!

We confront the Armored Immortals.

"Gaaaaaaaaaa!!!

An immortal armor (Undead) comes in with his sword raised.

"Konoku!!!

Novis headed for the Great Sword.

Gakin, the sword and sword collide.

Both forces are mutually reinforcing.

We are pushing each other.

"Stupid! Stopped the mightiest immortals!!

The magician's amazing voice.

Looking at his stunned face, he must have felt so confident in the power of the Undead.

"Novis can't beat a puppet like this! Good luck, Novis!!

I support Novis.

"Shizufe can't keep up the good work! I'll take him down! Everybody take down that fucking wizard!!

I can see Novis laughing behind his back.

A knockout of the undead of Novis and the armor.

The sword and sword collide.

Seems to be mutually reinforcing. But I am confident that Novis will win.

That's why we approach the wizard.

"Kh! A demon (Ralva)! Gather to my call!!

It's already evening. You can summon evil spirits in places with dark shadows.

Death magic! Everybody be conscious!!

Maddie screams.

"You better die crazy! Evil Spirit Group (Legion)!!!

The called translucent evil spirit (Ralva) gathers together and becomes a blue glowing ball.

They're not physical, they're directly attacking the mind.

If you don't resist, you'll go mad and die.

"Oooooooooooooooooo!!!

Crazy screams of evil spirits (Legion).

We are conscious.

Loser!! I pray to the goddess Reina.

While my heart is about to tear apart, I will tear apart a group of evil spirits (Legion).

With the attack of the magical sword, the group of evil spirits (Legion) scatters.

"Where's the wizard?!

The group of evil spirits (Legion) disappeared and Leelia shouted.

I can't see the magician when I see him.

"Shall we go after him? Shizufe?"

Kaina says, touching her proud leg.

"No, Kaina sister. Deep pursuit is dangerous."

I shake my head. I regret it, but I can't. We're camping here today.

"It's okay, Shizufe. That magician will catch her."

What?

Nora looks away and says. I didn't understand the meaning.

"Iyaaaaaaa!!

There was a scream so I looked behind.

There was Novis who slashed the undead of the armor.

Looks like you won.

We'll go to Novis.

"Wow, this is a real warrior."

Finaeus moisturized his eyes and murmured.

◆ Wizard Kirius

I didn't think this would happen.

I didn't think they were so strong.

We must flee in a hurry.

I'll go back the way I came.

Pretty tired.

But if you don't hurry back, it'll be night.

The journey was easy because it was carried by the Undead Warrior.

But now I have to run on my own feet.

"Damn! Why am I such a great sorcerer!!

I have a toothpick.

Why did this happen to me, the great Saria's wizard?

"Stop."

All of a sudden, I heard voices coming from behind. My feet hurt a lot.

Got it?

Screaming, without knowing why. I fall.

My feet hurt. Looks like he was slashed with something.

"Wizard Kirius-san... was that you?

My name is called from behind.

When she managed to turn her face back, a woman who had been illuminated by the sunset stood.

The woman has a curved sword in her hand.

"What? What? What about you?"

"I'm Shenna. Of course, you don't have to remember. Didn't you notice I've been following you all this time?

The woman named Shenna said that and threw a curved sword.

"If Shizufe-san and the others were in danger, we would have joined forces, but we didn't have to. Still, your feet are really slow. I followed him slowly, but I caught him easily."

Shenna looks at me with a silly face.

It seems that this woman was watching our fight.

"What are you gonna do to me?"

"Of course, I'll give it to the right people. Witch hunters. Prepare yourself."

I tremble when I hear the words.

Witch hunters are hunters of devils and devils.

Their pursuit will be relentless and they will die at the end of torture.

Why should I see such an eye? How irrational.

And those who do not appear from the front.

A monster called Lizardman.

"Now, please, Miss Lizardman. Take that man."

Administrative Voices.

I had no choice but to tremble in that voice.
