Boukensha ni Naritai to Miyako ni Deteitta Musume ga S Rank ni Natteta

Graham thought so in a hazy consciousness that it was a cocoon made of wood. Thin branches are entwined vertically and horizontally to form a gentle vertical sphere. The gap between the branches is so tight that one arm cannot pass, but it is open enough to make the other side slightly visible. But beyond that was the darkness of jet-black.

Mito looks up at Graham with a worried face in her arms. I jumped into a tree tunnel and chased Mito, and when I thought I was caught, my consciousness broke away. And when he noticed, he was in this cocoon. It was good to catch Mitto, but Graham sighed and stroked Mito. Mitto bowed down in the first place and spilled tears.

"I'm sorry, old man ... I'm so excited ..." "Don't cry. It's not your fault."

It was somehow greenish, filled with mysterious light like phosphorescence. Perhaps because of that, the surrounding scenery felt like a phantom, and my head wasn't clear. It feels like a piece of thin cloth.

Then suddenly something like a human figure emerged in the air. At first it was like an unclear haze, but it gradually made it clearer. A translucent female elf was floating. There were no wrinkles on the beautiful face, and the smooth silver hair was swaying like it was in the water. The elf opened his mouth. But the voice seemed to sound directly into my head, rather than from my mouth.

"Child, please forgive me please" "You are ..." "A clan who once descended south of the west forest ... Drinked by the malice of the forest, and its soul is still captured Is it ... "" ... were we by the side of our fathers? "

Graham looked down. Graham also heard that story in the west forest. It seems to be his great-grandfather's time that a group of innovative thoughts left the forest in the west for a new land. Hundreds of years are old. The translucent elf's appearance gradually grew older.

"It's ironic. Living in the woods, we are destroyed by the woods ... "" ... what are you looking for? Why did you aim for mito? "" The dark shadows of the woods are to maintain their hatred and power. Magical power

Zaza, and the elf's figure shook. Graham's face distorted in agony. After just a moment, the translucent elf returned to its original form. Its appearance was that of a young man.

"……Are you okay? "... Is the strange thing I felt was your suffering?" "Left ... The souls of our clan are still being caught by the malice of the forest, and they continue to be sucked by magic. Some of the brothers who were taken into the madness of the forest by the torment that passed over a long period of time .... That suffering would have responded to your soul, the same elf. " Is it ...? "

Graham became a little louder. The elf looked down sadly.

"It's like the left ... The little clump of magic is a great treat for the forest ... If we can take in the little one, we'll finally get Kai, Ho-"

The elf's neat face suddenly became ugly distorted. I thought that one of the branches that formed the cocoon had grown sharply, and came out like a spear toward Graham's mito. Graham quickly dodges as if to protect Mito. The branches grazed mito and pierced Graham's side.

"Guh !?" "Grandfather!" "Ah-No ... again, the insanity covers us-before two, escape, te, te-"

-It's cool.

The cocoon shook as if it moved. The elven figure distorted and melted away. Graham clenched his teeth, clenching the piercing branches. It seemed that the sane part of the elves who remained slightly and the mad part seeking liberation came to Graham through the branches. Madness resonated with the forest's malice and was gaining momentum.

If they can unleash them, or.

"interesting……"

Graham lifted his mouth as he cried and clinged to Mito's head. Why do you smile when you are in a desperate situation? I think that it will be the first time in several years such as adversity. It has been a long time since there was no opponent who was called "Paladin". It seemed strange to remember the day when he was a young adventurer who was a gunless gun. The instinct as an adventurer who has long been instilled in this crisis can make blood drip even in such a crisis.

The smiles, which ones could be preached to the niece's grandchild, grew bigger, with some self-deprecating ones. Mito stops crying and looks up at Graham with a confused expression.

Graham breathed deeply as he pulled out the branch stuck in the flank.

"... this life isn't that cheap ...!"

He stepped forward and forcibly cut off the branches that made the cocoon. The branch broke and broke, and the cocoon buckled in agony, screaming without voice. However, Graham relentlessly broke the branches one after another, and eventually bore a hole in the cocoon.

On the other side is the darkness of jet black. Graham jumped out of the cocoon without hesitation, holding the mito.

○

"Funnununununu!"

Jake, whose face turned red, pulled Graham's sword. However, the sword remains stuck in the square without any fear. Cain said stunned.

"Jake is impossible." "But, you have to pull it out and send it to Graham ..."

When Jake tried to pull again, the sword shouted and shone. Immediately, Jake was blown off and rolled on the ground.

"Well!" "What, what ?! What ?!"

Sora made her eyes black and white. The sword fluttered, blinking the light of the blade. Angelin squints.

"... I'm angry. Feel free to touch me." "Speaking of which, this sword was alive.

Arms crossed as Sasha was impressed.

"But I wonder if I can pull it out, isn't the barrier strengthened through this sword? Can a tree attack you," said Barnes. "I think it's okay. Mori doesn't seem to be interested in Tornella anymore, and the Bells are discussing the defenses of the village."

Said Anessa. At the tip of his finger, a little further away, Bergglyph and Casim, and Kelly and Hoffman and other adults in the village, were looking at defending the village in the absence of them. It seems that the policy is to take turns watching the young people who are teaching the battle, and to repel mainly the defense when the demon comes out. You can't help being attacked by the last night's momentum, but your opponent fulfilled the purpose of getting Mito. I will not aim for Tornella anymore. The defense is insurance.

Burns slightly relaxed his expression and scratched his head.

"I see. Yes, that's right.

Burns jumped up. Rita with her cheeks swelled Barnes's waist.

"I'm not cheating," "That's different!" "No, it's stretched under my nose," said Angeline. "I was so happy," Miriam laughed. "Oh, you guys!"

Burns became resentful when he turned red. Bjaku shook his head as if he was stunned.

"What are you doing, idiots ..."

The Belglyphs who seemed to have finished talking there came.

"I've got everything together, so I can get into the forest without any worries." "Well, I'm not missing my sword. What are you doing with that all together, you guys"

Kasim said and stroked his beard. Angelin sharpened his mouth.

"Because you touch my sword and get angry ..." "Hmm?"

Bergliff looked at the sword with a suspicious face. The sword keeps flickering with a small groan. Living sword. I don't know if it lives in the same sense as humans, but it certainly seems to have some sort of intention. Even so, it is as tall as Graham's tall, so it looks heavier. Graham wielded without difficulty, but could he take it where he left? However, there is no point in leaving it here.

Bergliff looked at Angelin.

"Because this sword is alive, why don't you try to pull it out with brute force and ask it properly?" "Ask ...?" What would you hate? "

Angelin nodded and stood in front of the sword. Touch the handle gently. The sword groaned.

"Don't get angry ... I just want to take you to Grandpa ..."

Turn your finger around the handle and squeeze. I felt a mysterious warmth over the cloth wrapped around the handle.

"Until I go to Grandpa ... please help me a little bit."

The sword groaned, and the light became a bit faint. Angelin gently pulls out his arm with his strength. The sword slipped out like a stubborn resistance. Angelin staggered and rushed to balance.

"Is it still heavy?"

Angelin shook his head at Bergriff's question.

"Reverse ... very light"

He thought he was heavy, but he was unexpectedly light, so he seemed to lose his balance. Angelin shook his sword with both hands. The sword snarls as the wind cuts. The sword cuts off the wind, as if the body were swung around, but stopped when it was decided to stop. It can be used as easily as a normal sword, even though it has never been used. Angelin looked at the sword with a fascinating expression. The face appeared to be on the blade.

"... Amazing beauty" "Miriam said," What? "No, this sword ... This is a girl. It's also a beautiful woman. It feels like a mess ...." "Is there a man or woman on the sword?"

Anessa said. Angelin nods.

"I don't know the other swords, but this is a girl. She says she can't help but help her. She loves grandpa ..."

When I said that, the sword suddenly gained weight. Angelin steps in a hurry. The light of the blade is dyed a little red and flickers.

"... I'm shy and angry." "Somehow strangely rich emotions ..."

Berggriff smiled and stroked his beard. I think it was quiet when Graham had it. Angelin stroked the sword belly soothing and laughed.

"I guess I was pretending to be in front of my grandfather ..." "Hmm, something suddenly looked cute!"

Miriam laughed. The sword groaned and shimmered. By the way, the sword has come out. There is no more legitimate law here. Bergliff tightened his look.

"Okay, let's go. Angers, take your sword. You probably can handle it best." "Yeah!"

Angelin happily carried his sword on his shoulder and nodded.

Going to the forest are Bergliff, Angelin, Qassim, Anessa, Miriam and Bjaku. And Sasha and the young adventurers of Jake, Sora and Cain. It is a large household of ten people in all. Charlotte is away from home in the village with Selenium. Tornella's defense is centered around Burns, Rita and youth. At the village entrance, Charlotte worriedly held his hand in front of his chest.

"Everybody, be careful ..."

Bergliff smiled and stroked Charlotte's head.

"I asked you to be away."

Looking towards the forest. Looks like nothing has changed. It seemed weird that the unfortunately warm sunlight was pouring in as the search for life began.

He came to the forest through a barren wheat field. Nothing unusual can be seen. Kassim narrowed his eyes and stared into the depths of the forest.

"I'm running away. The forest around here is the original forest. The people who attacked the village are deeper, here." "Where did the trees come from?"

Komori: Bergliffe muttered, remembering the story of the shadow I heard from Selenium. Did the trees cross the mountains from the southwest, attracted by the magic of Mito? That's horrible. If you escape to Komori, you have no choice.

"Hurry up"

The party speeded up and stepped into the forest. Many of the trees that appeared yesterday in the village were twisted old trees. Some of them have a stunning personality covered with arboreal mosses, which indicates that this is not the only tree here. The trees that I walk around now are still young, short and lush. Probably because the village is near and there are many people. Strangely, despite the movement of such trees, the soil in the forest does not seem to have been dug up, and there is no sign that other trees have been knocked down. Berggryph wondered if there were any resonances between the forests.

Though unlikely to have any idea, Angelin, who is at the forefront, moves on steadily with a clear step.

"Is this going for the right one?"

Jake said in an uneasy voice. Angelin said without stopping.

"Maybe okay ..." "Is it an instinct?"

Sasha said. Angelin shook his head and lightly lifted the holy sword on his shoulder.

"... this girl"

The sword glowed faintly. Apparently, the sword and Graham seemed to have something to do, probably because they kept passing the magic for a long time. The response does not seem to disappear from a distance. Angelin was moving forward with the sword. Even though it is a living sword, the swordsman, including Belgriff, Sasha, Jake, and Sora, screamed involuntarily, saying that this deepening of their bond with the sword was so great.

I can't stop walking in the meantime. As we walked, the area gradually became dense and tall trees increased. The sky, which looks into the gaps slightly, is blue, and warm sunlight is pouring in, but it is dim because it is blocked by the branches and leaves above it and does not reach your feet. Because of that, the grass has not grown much. Instead, the dead leaves piled up during the winter layered and tended to catch the feet softly.

The party was starting to pay attention to everyone, not to mention anyone. Something was definitely looking at this. Cain whispered softly to the next Kasim.

"Is that a monster?"

Young adventurers look around in a hurry as if scared. Kasim laughed from the air.

"Hey, joke, joke, you'll know right away." "No, I can't tell you a joke."

Bergriff said, staring at the trees. The party looked at it and gasped. A tree shepherd was slowly approaching. Sasha drew her sword.

"Do you fight?" "No ..."

No hostility is felt. Bergriff was alert and waited for the shepherd to approach him while he was working on the handle of the sword. The tree herder came in, whispering leaves and branches, and stopped only a few steps away. Angelin carried the big sword again and came out one step ahead.

"... Which are you?" "Which? Anger, what are you talking about?"

Anessa tilted her head with a suspicious face. Angelin kept her eye on the shepherd.

"Some shepherds are asking for help ..." "Is that? Someone is manipulating a shepherd," said Miriam. "I do not know, but……"

I'm sure it's not all enemies, Angeline stared at the tree herder. The shepherd was silent without saying anything, but suddenly shook left and right. The leaves of the head make a loud noise.

--Help.

"What, now, ..." "What did he say?"

Sora and Jake made their eyes black and white. The tree herder shook his body.

――Give everyone a smile.

"Liberation ...? What should I do? Who are you ...?"

At that time, the Bergryph flew quickly and slid behind the line as if guarding behind him. Then she pulls out the sword and yells.

"Get ready! Come on!"

In a blink of an eye, hostility became full. Greyhounds and their higher species, Hellhounds, fly out of the trees in groups. However, the wolves were blown off by something before approaching the party. It seems to be invisible three-dimensional magic circle of Bjalak. Sasha cut into it like a gale. A sword that is pliable like a whip hits the wolves in a blink of an eye.

"Oh, I'll do it."

Kasim turned his fingertips laughing. Magical power swirled around the hem of the clothes and the leaves. A number of magic bullets are generated in the air, and they shoot through the wolves one after another.

"Hey, bring me a stronger one." "Hey Kassim, don't wear out so much. I'm still unaware of what I'm not sure about later." "It's not going to be such a preparation movement."

Casim shot the wolf one after another with a cool face. Others can safely clean up what has been dropped. Two AAA ranks and two S ranks. It is a guild that will not be seen unless requested by the guild's high difficulty. Greyhounds and Hellhounds are no match.

Sora sheathed her sword with a somewhat confusing expression.

"We don't have a curtain ..." "If you don't need to move it, that's fine ..."

Said Angelin, who also did not move much, leaving it to the Casims. Looking towards Bergglyph.

"Hey, dad" "Oh, I don't think this is the end ..."

That is exactly the case. Shortly after the party relaxed their shoulders, the depths of the forest were ruffled and a twisted giant tree appeared, shaking the withering leaves and leaves. An unknown big insect is moving up and down a thick trunk. Miriam shook his shoulders as if to upright his hair and held his cane.

"Feeling!" "Uh, physiologically coming ..." "... I don't want to move my feet."

Sora and Cain also frowned. Insects have a flat body with six legs, a strangely-colored shell with vivid colors, and a flattering appearance. Those who are not good at such things are a little bit waist. In addition, he crawls from the back of the tree to the giant purple centipede. The swelling of several legs, as I looked, seemed to shake my back.

Kassim put his finger forward with a disgusted face.

"It's not a good sight. Let's crush it and go ahead."

Angelin stepped forward with all his might. Graham's great sword carried on his shoulder glows.

"Preparation, let me do it"

Angelin shook his sword after seeing Casim nod. The sword shouted and glowed, and the overflowing magic swirled around Angelin's dark hair. Insects clinging to the big tree jumped down on the ground all at once, as if they were jumping, and came in large bursts. Angelin stepped on her feet,

"Wow--!"

Exhaled and shook his sword. Immediately, a tremendous impact and a torrent of magical power spewed out of the blade, scouring the ground, severing the surrounding trees and rocks, and shattering the insects that came on. Shell fragments and bodily fluids splattered, but they were blown away by a gust of magic and disappeared. The twisted giant tree that brought the insects has been torn apart without breaking its trunk and branches, and is still shaking to fall.

Angelin, who was swinging down, was so powerful that she was amazed. The sword glows faintly, groaning. It's like saying, "How is it?"

"... This is a foul. After all, grandpa is unlikely to win ..."

Graham's own strength plus this holy sword. Angeline reshuffled the handle of the sword, shivering, saying that no one would be enemies. The one who was watching behind also opened his mouth and stood out.

"Wow, that's amazing ..." "I don't think we'll ever be able to get any more ..." "Mum, you'll see a" black haired war maiden "wielding a" Paladin "sword."

Sasha is impressed. Berggriff laughed a little when he remembered the sight of Graham blasting a strange monster in one shot during a former forest disaster.

The injured large tree shook for a while, but eventually tilted and fell down with a loud noise. The trunk crumbles as if it were decaying. He narrowed his eyes as Bergryf found something and approached quickly.

"... mu"

Behind the crouching, frowning Berggryph, Angelins rushed.

"What happened, Dad ...?" "Bone. That's human."

A human-shaped bone was peeking through the pieces of the decayed and crumbled wood.

"... a villager?"

Angelin raises her face as if she was scared of Biauk's muttering words. Bergliff shook his head.

"No, no. All of Tornella are safe, and above all, this bone is too old." "It's strange ... a tree that has grown to nourish the corpse should have a bone at the base but come out of the trunk. "

Cain said. Berggriff nods.

"... It's a really strange person. I can't be careful." "Well, when these guys came out, their destination was close."

Kassim laughed and put on his hat, which had been displaced by the impact of the sword. At that time, the ground rang again. This time from the back. As if following the path where the party came, many trees appeared swaying. It is accompanied by insects and wolf monsters.

"From one to the next ..."

Sasha stepped in with Angelin trying to hit the tongue and step forward. Jake and Sora solidify both wings, and Cain comes forward.

"It would be no use if you stopped eating small fish in this place! We will take care of it, so you should go first!" "I don't know what has happened!" "Wow, I'll show you the results of the practice!"

Bergliff pondered. Large trees and monsters won't be opponents if everyone takes over. However, he is worried about Graham and Mito. It doesn't seem to have much time to relax. But apart from Sasha, Anessa and Miriam knocked on Bergriff's back when they wondered if the three young adventurers were OK.

"We will remain. Maybe we'll still be there." "Yeah. It's safer to have Angers and Kasim when you get on, isn't it? I'll chase if I get a piece." "Yes, please."

Bergliff smiled and turned his cloak. He glanced at the tree shepherd standing sideways. The shepherd turned an eye-hole into the Bergryph to complain.

――Please.

"... Let's go!" "Yeah, everyone, be careful ..."

Leave the back to six, and the four rush. As he heard the sound of the battle behind him, Bergliff sighed small. I guess I should get in Anessa and Miriam and stay myself, but when I thought about Mito, it seemed like I couldn't resist being silent and leaving it to others. It was Bergliff's decision to bring Mito back to Tornella. It doesn't make sense to leave the ass wiping to others, even if it seems more certain.

"... I'm selfish"

Berglyph scratched his head, saying it wasn't worth it. As he ran, he laughed as Casim was tight. Bergliff looked at Kasim with a suspicious face.

"What a laugh," "Well, it may be unscrupulous, but ... Oira, I'm glad to dive into the dungeon with you again.

Bergliff smiled bitterly. I don't feel bad. But it's later on to think in the past. Tighten and go over fallen trees and bumps.

Gradually, the number of branches above the head increased, lichens and moss increased, and the surrounding atmosphere changed. It smells of dark grass. The overhead is covered in strange shadows, and the blue sky is invisible. The trees have become intertwined, blocking the way. In this situation, there is no way to increase the speed unnecessarily. If you keep running, you will exhaust your strength. The four slowed down and instead paid more attention to their surroundings. Although it wasn't a sign of a demon, it always seemed to feel someone's gaze.

"... the enemy's pocket" "What the bell do you want?" I look into the palace, Bjak, you just need to focus on the defense. Angers and Casim will be enough to attack. Watch out for overhead because trees can be enemies ... "

Bergglyph looks around and gives directions with no hesitation. The appearance is not that of a farmer hoeing in Tornella.

"n/a……"

Angelin laughed happily, carried the sword anew, and listened to his roar.
