We stand on the hill with the sun on our backs.

If you look north, there's a fortified city.

I don't know the distance, but it seems like there are more than five kilometers.

The fortified city, as it were, was being attacked by monsters.

Mia took the binoculars out of the rucksack and gave them to me.

How much is your rucksack packed?

I peek into Mia's binoculars and observe the vicinity of town.

The fortress has mountains to the east, so attacks by monsters are being carried out from the west.

A giant monster, almost four meters tall, who would have named himself Giant, throws a large rock to smash the walls of the castle.

The number of giants is six.

I don't know if the walls will keep it, or how much more respite there will be as it is broken.

Around the Giant you can see at least a hundred bean grains.

A monster.

Over a hundred monsters.

I wonder how many of them are miscellaneous fish oak classes.

And I wonder how long it's been since the soldiers defending the town.

I return my binoculars to Mia. [M]

Mia often peeks into it and then takes her eyes off her binoculars.

Face each other.

Together, we observe the other person's expression and observe the thoughts.

Mia has the same sleepless faceless expression that doesn't make me read my thoughts here......

One eyebrow caught a tingle.

Well, I suppose.

"Do you want to help?"

"Mmm."

"In the first place, we don't even know if the guys in that town will be enemies or allies."

"But enemies of enemies may be used as allies"

It was true.

Always on the road.

Or that's what I've been saying to myself since yesterday.

The High Authority, which fought the Orcs independently, was, for us, the enemy of the enemy.

Still, I got rid of Sheba.

Enemy enemies are not always allies.

That's why I guess we shouldn't see it with color glasses until the next "enemy of the enemy".

Perhaps Mia is right.

If it were me, would I have made a sharp decision so far?

I'm so glad she followed me.

"But for now"

So Mia pulls my hand and sits down on the spot.

I'll be her, too, and I'll sit in the grass.

Or it feels better to fall in the snare.

"Break"

"Oh...... right"

We were exhausted.

Battle in an unfamiliar cave.

Even the tension persisted.

Besides, I currently have very little MP left.

Mia will have more than half of them left, but if the enemy is still all that number, he'll want to make sure it's all right.

Even if we're on our way to rescue, we're just gonna die a dog.

The two wind elementals are ordered to wait.

I'll cut the link with Iron Golem, which I've left on the other side.

MP recovery by dipotation cannot be used without the subject nearby.

No body, but I had to throw away the whole MP36 point.

Mia calls me. [M]

Put your face on my leg, gaze at me, and narrow your eyes.

The sun shining on my back seemed to blink.

"Tired."

"You can sleep a little."

"No, I won't. I won't."

"What's wrong with you?

"Because of you, cuz, you two"

Uh, well, I guess that is.

Earlier in the white room, we were alone.

If we're going to fight those monsters, I guess we're going to the white room again.

"So what do we talk about? … like the policy of the next battle"

"Cuz, that's not what you talk about when you're alone with a girl"

"Don't expect me to escort the lady."

Mia says, as a creep, "Well, that's fine".

"The primary goal is to gather information?

"Right. It's bad for one of those towns, but the most important thing is to know what's going on. Even so, maybe because you can't expect words to make sense with the people of this world..."

"At the very least, just the relationship with the monsters and the degree to which they are friendly or not?

"Yeah, even if we think about the future, I want to know if the standard people in this world, or one like them, will accept us."

"It..."

Mia calls for something and gets stuck in words.

No, I know what you wanted.

Why did you shut up?

But I think I'm talking. [M]

Because that possibility is something we have to consider sooner or later.

"Considering the possibility that you have to live in this world permanently, even if you don't, you have to live in this world for a long time."

"Mmm."

Mia bites her lips softly.

I don't know what she's gotten into that far.

If you think about it, Mia is a little different from me, Alice, or Occasion.

It was a throwaway bowl, and I gave up completely on what lay ahead.

Alice or Occasion, who was originally an orphan, adopted, but badly reconciled with her parents.

Unlike the two of you, Mia has a proper family.

Even about your brother, I care so much about why.

I'm sure she's eager to return to her original world.

Me, Alice or Occasion... I wonder.

Indeed, Japan is better than this world.

But then when they say if there is someone in Japan who is really waiting...

My parents, after they pushed me into that school, are out of communication.

They must have forgotten about me.

Originally, yeah, that's the kind of family it was.

I guess they're similar to each other to hear about Alice and the occasions.

Whether you want to get away from a dangerous place like the Orcs attacking you, or get back to where electricity and food have been properly secured, then how motivated are you to replace your life...?

To me, he's killing one.

I'm killing Sheba with this hand.

That was Sheba's side attacking me first, and it was necessary in the circumstances.

That's why when you go back to the original world and everything is exposed to the day, what do you think around you?

I don't think I'm going to get a living environment after that. [M]

Well, that's why I can't think of a way to live in this world.

In the first place, I don't know anything about this world...

Hmm, is there anything I can do to think about it at this stage?

"You know, cuz"

Mia reaches out and touches my cheek, wondering how much she guessed inside me.

It was a limp hand.

But something like reassuring comfort spreads all over your body.

Somehow, when you're with Mia, you lose your mind.

The unpretentious thing about it is that I think the atmosphere that relieves one is her best advantage.

"Mia's a healer."

That said, the little girl wore her little neck properly.

"It's an adorable character, though"

"Like a cute character of your own"

I shrug my shoulders.

That's about half an hour.

It's time to recon.

Calling crows and putting on the usual remote viewing.

My point of view becomes that of the crow.

As the crow ascends into the sky, it catches the wind and flies to the fortified city.

So much less, I can see how the fight is going.

Six red-skinned giants burned in the day, side by side, hitting the walls of one big rock after another.

If you look nearby, there are cracks all over the walls and the atmosphere is about to break now.

Around the Giant are soldiers with green skin.

I can't see my face well because I put my leather armor together and wear a rash, but I don't seem to be human.

He bears a well-sharpened sword and shield, and now has a bow and arrow.

The number of green-skinned soldiers will probably be around two hundred.

In addition, we were able to confirm the presence of a different gray wolf from Hellhound and a shadow with a black robe.

The crow swirls and turns toward the fortified city.

Confirm the figure standing on the wall.

Yes, people.

It wasn't a monster.

I was human.

With a sad look, I could still see the inflexible men who were desperate and grasping at the barista.

A commander-like man withers his voice and screams.

My men set a fat arrow on the barista, and it fires.

But the arrow was intercepted by countless flaming arrows unleashed by the monsters of the black robe before reaching the giant.

It gets crushed in the air.

Is that... shooting Flame Arrow?

The black robe was unleashing three arrows.

That means at least Fire Magic Rank 3...

At least five of those black robes.

This could be more troublesome than Giant.

The black robes will now unleash fireballs simultaneously.

Probably Fire Magic Rank 3, Fire Bomb.

Fire Bomb hits the barista and inflames this.

The bodies of several soldiers are engulfed in flames.

They fall under the walls.

He's probably screaming, but unfortunately, remote viewing doesn't even convey his voice.

Whether that was good or bad, it was a sight somewhere unrealistic.

It was like a Hollywood movie.

The safe soldiers, barely able to escape, tried to escape in a great panic...

That's where the walls shake.

Giant's big rock hit the wall in a nice way.

Some of the wooden planks that make up the top of the wall fall off, and the scaffolding of its soldiers collapses.

Guys, fall.

Swallow by the darkness.

Immediately after, the barista explodes.

Part of the walls, the upper part, collapsed.

Fortunately, even if a part of it was destroyed, it's not high enough for humans to be particularly...

Oh, the Giant is moving forward.

Well, a four-meter giant might be able to crawl from there.

This is... bad.

The crow does not perceive my thoughts, but looks around the walls.

Inside the walls, brick houses line up.

Soldiers are busy running around the road paved with bricks.

Even when it comes to the fortified city, it's much smaller than I thought.

Wouldn't the delivery be five hundred meters?

In the center, there is a mansion that looks sturdy.

It's a two-story mansion surrounded by walls.

A good number of humans are gathered in that garden.

Looks like there's a man and a woman.

I mean... ordinary people?

I don't know, are you working?

The crow swirls and takes the return course.

Yeah, I wanted to observe more...

But what choice do I have?

After I cut the link with the crow, I tell Mia the scene I just saw.

Mia nodded, "Mm," then shook her head several times, confused, to get lost.

"What's up, Mia"

"Cuz."

Mia looks up at me like she's about to complain about something, but badly reluctantly.

I don't know, what the hell is she asking of me?

"Mia, go with everything. I won't let your opinion stand in the way."

"... but"

Or can't you trust me?

This is a little cowardly, I think.

I can't really trust myself with me.

But that would be a useful word there to make Mia open her mouth right now.

Mia nods.

Two or three times, after I let my mouth fill, as I have decided, I now strongly endorse it from my own.

"Cuz. You know, I, in fact..."

That said, Mia tells.

She reveals her true heart to me.

"I admire Kanya Tagami as a hero."
