Black Summoner

Episode 135: The Upcoming

Five days have passed since Sabat's party left Pars. If the information informed by Rio is true, it is time for the army of the Dragon Cavalry Corps to reach the Grand Canyon of Zhu, when it is not strange.

After reading Kelvin's letter and being stunned together, Sesame, who regained his sanity as soon as possible due to Eli's inquiry, quickly beat everyone up and set out to prepare. If you're ready, start by sourcing dried meat and other portable foods. Considering the distance to Zhu's Grand Canyon, it's about a week on the feet of the Sabats. This is still faster than a horse, but I would like to arrive a little faster given the speed of march of the Dragon Cavalry Regiment.

"Damn, do we have to reduce our baggage and hurry"

Even when it comes to portable food, if you take three meals a day for a few minutes, you will be burdened. Sabato dared to reduce food for a few days and instead chose to speed up progress.

It would be a lot easier if I had a magic item or skill with storage, but I hated both of them at his party. Beastmen tend to make it a creed to fight in their own bodies and to work in physical workouts on a daily basis. Sabat and the others were not the exception, they had more luggage than was necessary as part of their workouts, and they traveled instead of heavy stones. Therefore, there has never been an idea to rely on storage. I don't even really want to do it by reducing my load.

And Sabato and the others, besides food, have all the items and equipment they were putting out to repair, such as minimal healing pills, and finally leave Pards. Fortunately, the monsters in Pars territory were not their enemies, the Class A adventurers, but were able to move on without wasting their time.

"Today's the fifth day, huh? If we keep going, we'll be there by noon."

"I'm already a Hetohetos... such a forcible army, I don't want to do this anymore."

"You couldn't catch up with Mr. Kelvin after all. We must have been in a pretty hurry, too."

"You said you were faster than us, the Beasts. Damn, they took my stock."

Where the rift in Zhu's Grand Canyon is looking like a blur, the Sabats take a break. Light the firewood leaves, boil the water and have a little early lunch. This is the last food I've brought, and my goal is to reach my destination once and for all where I'm lighter.

"Ngu. I'm tired of dried meat and hard-baked bread..."

"Don't say luxury. Plus, it's the real deal since we arrived in Zhu's Grand Canyon. If you don't want this to be your last meal, it's about temperament, Gwen."

"Nhee... Agath's husband, Kitsuissy"

"Say what. Lord Kelvin, who will probably be arriving first, is tougher. Choosing that Grand Canyon as a battlefield means you should use your local interests to fight. I'm working on that by now."

"Right. Come on, we'll leave when we eat. I'll hurry."

"Master Sesame, eat early. Yeah, sss."

Two more hours have passed since finishing the meal and restarting, with the six continuing to run even down the Great Valley road. I never encountered a C-class monster, such as Stonegolem, that would appear every time I went through here if I were usual.

"Does this mean Kelvin and the others are close?

"Maybe you just went through. That's from beside what I'm saying!

The front road, just off the leading sesame, suddenly began to protrude several sides of it. The mass mixed with stones and soil swells up to about three meters and turns into four monsters that are inappropriate but mimic the shape of a person.

"Stonegolem."

"Ha-ha-ha, that's good! I was just getting bored!

Sabato increases his speed and storms the monster past Sesame.

"Sabato, I'm single and I'm not going in there!

"Ugh! You're always a storm, aren't you?

Sabato and Sesame running in collision with Gashigashi and each other. While we are doing so, the Stonegolem herd is approaching, but there is no sign of ever stopping.

"Absolutely, you stay a child at all times..."

"You look a little happy, don't you?

"It's my fault. You two, it's time - be careful, something's coming!

―――

While Agus was also screaming, some black shadow appeared in the arrow yard more than forward. The only thing that caught Sabato's eye at the head was to say that it was two black things, big and small. of unusual velocities. They approached us as we orbited the valley walls and ground, sometimes in the air, into zigzags.

"Goo?"

Two shadows pass through a horde of stone golems. Something and the monsters look around, but there is no shadow there already. One is a fragmented body of himself and his companions. Would it have been slashed with a sharp blade or something to see a smooth scar? With a few questions aside, the monster's consciousness disappeared.

(In a blinking moment, I shattered the monster!

The stone golem itself is not a particularly strong monster. Sabato is, of course, an opponent with ample opportunity, even for knights of all nations. But a stone giant three meters bent. Between those moments, it would not have been possible for Sabato and the others to slash and carve four bodies into a piece of wood dust.

"Coming, Sesame!

"I know!

Small and large shadows are in front of the earliest eyes. There are no more letters of alarm between the two of us who fought until earlier. All nerves, concentrate and sharpen your senses. The two shadows eventually land on the other front--

"Yay. Mr. Sabato, I'm here to pick you up!

………

He greeted me with superb smiles.

"Uh... Mr. Lion, was it?

Ask Lion as Sesame confirms as the beast party stops in the air relaxed at once from extreme tension.

"Wow, you remembered me. Thanks! I'm fine with Lion. I saw Sesame guys coming, so I followed them here to pick them up."

"Oh! If you think you've seen it, my daughter, who was at the promotion ceremony!

"It would be obvious. Lion... Lion is Kelvin's sister, and she's with the party."

"Yes, sister......"

Gynn stares at Majesty and Lion. Lion, who had the double-knifed black sword in his hands in his sheath, said, "Yeah?" and returned it with Nico's face.

(All my brothers and sisters are scum... but they're super cute, so no problem, scum!

In my heart, Gynn decides to gut pose.

"Gagga."

"... and what about this wolf?

"My best friend Alex. They're a little big, but you're such a good kid, so keep them all close."

All right, all right. Lion tickles Alex's neck. The fact that it stretches out slightly is adorable. Alex also has his eyes narrowed so that he feels good, until he is left to be.

I just want to touch it, Sesame thought in a corner of my mind.

"I thought Kelvin had arrived first."

"Yeah, five days ago."

"" Huh?

The back voice of Sabato and Sesame was beautifully hammered.

"Five days ago... during that day when the guild was called!?

"We were in a hurry, too. He arrived at lunch and was getting ready."

"Hih, noon... in a matter of hours the path we've been taking for five days..."

Together in a flash. That, too, was not even the result of the attempt to reach the fastest possible point of abandoning his creed as a beast man, at the feet of Kelvin, his goal. I was wondering if I was reaching that level by fulfilling myself, having learned through defense and braved myself to enhance myself.

Look at the Sabatos who have been silent, and I wonder what's going on. Lion and Alex face to face.

"Oh, yeah! Lion and Kelvin are really strong!

"Gynn, suddenly what happened?

"Mr. Kelvin and Lion are brothers and sisters! If so, I'm also convinced that you two are strong and fast!

"I'm not sure what I'm comfortable with..."

"Don't think deeply, sss!

Are you trying to inspire him, Gynn, to behave brighter than usual?

"... right. I'm the one who told you to go for S-grade. I need a leader like that to be impudent. Well, I can't face my father. You guys, let's blossom in this fight! Kelvin is amazing!

"Gahaha, Master Sabato, you peeled again!

"Well, it's not a bad idea to hang out with a fool."

With such an effort, the party is going back to life. Now the Sabats were bonded harder than ever before.

(Lyon, you watched me brave, huh?

- It may not be tied.

'It would seem awkward to say that me and Alex are the weakest. Alex, do you?

"Wong (ok)"

And Lion was uninhabited and concerned.
