Darenidemo Dekiru Kage Kara Tasukeru Maō Tōbatsu

It was like freezing from the core of my body.

It did swallow the whole body like turbulence and did, for a moment, halt all of Fujido's direct body and mind.

Even when he was yelled at by his father, who was strict, when he first opposed the Knights Commander of the Kingdom of Lukes on the training field, and the out-of-digit 'terror' he didn't even feel when he first encountered demons in the Vale Forest.

I had information that the intention to kill could bind people. In fact, I even had the experience I had once at the Royal Palace.

But the shock that pierced Fujido at that moment was such a substitute for something that it felt like a prank.

At that moment, it was only for a moment, but at that moment the legs of Fujido, the brave man, did screw up. No, if we didn't have company on the spot, it would probably have taken more time for Fujido to get up.

Gracial Plant, commissioned by the village chief of Lukes village to crusade, was a powerful demon. I understand it because I actually saw it with my eyes.

Fujido is a brave man. But it's not just brave. I'm not used to fighting for the first time yet because the sun is shallow, but I can somehow tell the difference in my power.

Gracial Plant was a monster on that level, suspicious if Fujido could win, even in a scratchy state. But it was a shock that its presence lay down more than that.

Overwhelming atrocities visible from scars. The appearance of wings, legs crushed, throats worn, and bodies skewered with spears, as if to wave, reminded Aria of the existence of a 'monster', although she did not consider Aria's speculation to be entirely correct.

A growl that suddenly rocked the forest.

The roar of a monster resembling the voice of some was terribly harsh, and I can be convinced even if they say that's the voice of the devil clan.

- You must not fight.

- We have to fight.

Instinct as a person and duty as a brave man. Emotion and reason.

But now that it's all over and calm down, I know.

If Fujido were to fight the Lord of the Roar at that time - he would have been defeated unless even a miracle had happened.

But I think at the same time.

Now that I have known it with reason, when I am once again relative to that roaring Lord, I will fulfill - will I strive for that courage?

You just have to raise the level, says Aria, who is more familiar with the battles of this world than Fujido.

Now it's still pulling, said Amelia, a monk (Priest) with about twice the level of Fujido.

But then what time and what level can we fight?

How many levels can we raise to fight that 'enemy' on an equal footing?

No one can answer that question.

§§§

"... oh, I understand. Thank you, brave man."

"Ah... oh..."

To the report of Fujido Naoto, the village chief of Vale bowed his head with some tired seeping look.

The village chief's request is for the crusade of Gracial Plant. Even though there was an incident of humanization, that aim has not been achieved.

One or two of the complaints were coming. Fujido looks at the village chief without thinking of that too modest a response.

On the side, Gresha, wearing the piece she had just bought, looked around nervously.

The humanized evidence...... showed Gresha. I thought you'd suspect me, but I don't get a scratch.

Is this the glory, the trust of the Holy Brave...?

I glance at Aria and Limis, who were following me next door, for a moment, and ask the village chief again.

"... you know, I haven't been able to crusade, is that a problem?

The village chief's eyebrows tickle at Fujido's inquiry. When I let my gaze wander slightly as if looking for someone watching me, I pointed a comatose smile at Fujido somewhere.

"... Yep. I guess it doesn't affect the village anymore. Then there is nothing to say from the point of view of the village chief."

"... hey, Mr. Village Chief, are you okay?... but I don't look well."

Rimis looks up at his own grandfather's old village chief with a worrying look on his face. It's only been a day since I last saw him, but in just one day the village chief looked so old.

Hair has more gray hair and no tension on the skin. Even in old age, its appearance seemed to be strong, as if it was as old as ten in just one day.

"Yep... Yep. It's okay. It's just a little... yes, I might be tired....... ha"

"... is that about me trumpeting a mercenary?

Fujido slightly distorts his brow and asks. Speaking of accidents, I didn't think it was a good idea to have slashed the mercenaries.

I still remember the look that was taken away from me when I reported it.

If that response breaks my heart, I can only apologize as Fujido.

To such Fujido's words, the village chief waves his neck and hands wide left and right.

"No, no, and, hell no! Lord Brave has nothing to do with this... it's my problem"

"... then fine..."

Fujido slightly tilted his neck at a behavior that was clearly different from when we met before.

Attitudes as if they were atrophying, the village chief should have been a more confident person. I was old, but I had an old age that didn't move at all against the Holy Brave. How about that now? You have a small attitude, like a frog stared at by a snake.

Though questionable, Fujido scratched his cheek. Deep black irises pour into the village chief's dwarf as if he could still spot the truth.

As if trying to escape from that gaze, the village chief makes a high voice.

"Speaking of which, Lord Brave. What city are you going to next?

"... no, I haven't decided yet..."

In the first place, I've been through a lot and haven't been on a level since three days ago.

Fujido himself is a little later to the assumed level, but Aria, anyway, still needed time to raise the level of remiss.

With a suspicious glance at the village chief who suddenly changed his story,

"I thought I'd give you a level in the Vale Forest for a while..."

"... actually Fujido"

To Fujido's words, he meditates his eyes as if he could think of something for a moment, and the village chief opens his mouth.

The Vale Forest was due to be closed for a while.

"Heh...... closed!?

In a line of Fujido that rounded his eyes, the village chief continued to look like a bad bat.

"No. In fact, Fujido also reported that there are dangerous demons in the woods... until the crusade is carried out, so it is forbidden to enter..."

"Banned because it's dangerous? I've never heard that before..."

Aria snaps her neck with surprised eyes.

Originally, the forest is a demonic nest, it's your own fault to get in there. Even if a dangerous demon occurs and the Knights are dispatched for the crusade, it is not unusual to prohibit any entry.

The village chief turns his gaze to Aria without moving one eyebrow.

"Considering the dangers of demons, this time we are going to take special measures. Demons have been moving a lot lately."

"... Sure, it was a demon I'd never seen before..."

The only thing that reminds me of that sight is the remiss of the growling and pulling it down to my hips, scratching my shoulders and shaking them.

Fujido indulged in the words of the village chief and frowned.

"... but I just reported it and you're off limits...?

"... no. We have received a report of the incident from another source in advance… This decision is not based on a report from Lord Brave."

"... another muscle?

"Yep... I can't tell you here, it's sara muscle"

Clear assertion. My lips are closed to the letter to just saying I won't say anything more.

In the eyes of the village chief, Fujido gave up asking. I have a number of doubts, but if they say so, I can't say anything.

For a moment, I almost said - but I remembered that growl and said something. Suicidal behavior such as challenging yourself against someone you realise you don't have enemies this morning. I knew clearly that I would not be hostile with one or two preparations or readiness.

Aria, who was looking at Fujido with a worrying look on her face, relieves herself of the look.

"... but you're in trouble. We don't have time... do you have any idea how long that crusade will take?

"I hear it will take a couple of days for the hunters to come. I was wondering if I should see it for at least a week."

"A week... or..."

The deadline of one month initially decided was already approaching.

You can't just wait in silence for a week. Target level is 30. At present, the level of remiss is too low, regardless of level 27 Fujido.

To the lost Fujido, the village chief punched his hands in the pan as if to cut off the stray.

"I know Lord Brave doesn't have time. I was wondering if Lord Brave could make it to the next level."

"The next level up... the place?

"Yes."

From the desk drawer, the village chief takes out a faded map.

It's a map of Luke's kingdom. There are countless writings going on there.

"This is our current location."

The village chief put his index finger on the forest area, which was wide spread over the right edge of the map, shifting his finger to the top left.

Fingers cross the Vale Meadow, which stretches far east of the King's Capital, beyond the wilderness, stopping one step ahead of a mountainous area with high and low disparities.

"'GolemValley'"

Rimis squeals his eyes round the written letter.

The village chief nodded loudly and even began to explain.

"Yeah. Golem Valley. It is the premier level field in the Luke kingdom in a mountainous area where there are numerous demons of the highly existential Magic Doll (Golem) species. Here, you'll be able to level up with efficiency beyond the Vale Forest."

"Wait a minute..."

Aria breaks into explanations.

As a swordsman, Aria, highly educated as a gateway to the martial arts family, also had minimal knowledge of the place to raise levels in the country.

Stick to the village chief and Aria rebuts with a rugged mouthful.

"The Golem Valley's adequacy level should certainly have been over 40. Our average level hasn't reached 30 yet."

27 for Fujido, 25 for Aria, 17 for Remiss. Everyone has fallen below their aptitude level more than once.

The recommended level is not set appropriately. Not to mention the number of Arias combined is less than four or one party without a healer.

Aria stares down at the map and crawls her index finger.

"A little less aptitude if you raise the level... yes, uh... I was wondering if it would be better around the 'Grand Tomb', the same level of propriety as the Vale Forest"

Fujido's gaze followed Aria's fingertips. Fingers stopped far down.

Utice Grand Cemetery.

It is a tomb inhabited by many demons of the immortal species (undead).

In various said crypts, such as the burial of a nobleman centuries ago, the frontier between death and life has become uncertain, a land that can now be called a gigantic labyrinth of underground formations where massive demons roam. At the deepest end of the spectrum is the supposed king of the undead, but in terms of shallow layers, it was famous as quite a hunting ground, with only walking skeletons (walking bones) and evil spirits (whisps) that even low-level hunters could easily defeat depending on the procedure.

However, I disagree with Aria's opinion so that the village chief can stand up.

"It's like going to die, like entering a grave without a Priest. The land is famous for raising the level of monks (Priest). The demons inside are low in presence and hard to level without defeating numbers. Besides, if we go some further, more demons become paralyzed and poisonous. In addition, the grave-filled temper will allow the brave Lord with holy armor to easily erode the Horn Aria and Limis. It is also difficult to use Lord Limis' fire magic because it is indoors. It won't be aptitude as the next field."

Aria turned her eyes round to the words of the village chief, and stared at his beard face.

"... Mayor, why are you so familiar with us?

"... Yes, no. It's just a prediction, a prediction. I'm afraid I'm familiar with Lord Brave."

He turns away and slaps the finger placed by the village chief on the Golem Valley.

"Compared to that, the guide doll living in Golem Valley is very easy to fight. Few species have tangled hands, and many exist that can be obtained as one. Attack is high and defensive, but it moves slowly and can easily be defeated as long as it can destroy the nucleus (core). It's outdoors, so you can burn it down with Lord Rimis' fire sperm, and it's easy to retreat."

"Okay, let's do it there!

I knew I could use magic to my fullest, and the remiss I'd been trying to shut up nodded loudly.

As inspired by its intentions, when Garnett, a fire elf, comes out of his sleeve, he climbs his arm and lays down on his shoulder.

Fujido, the leader, tilted his neck and looked alternately at Aria and the village chief.

"... either as far as I'm concerned..."

It is undoubtedly aria to which trust can be placed. I mean, the village chief's words are obviously strange. I'm not supposed to be talking to you, but this one looks like he knows what he can and can't do.

The village chief sweats sloppily and coldly with the expression drawn to Fujido, who turns his suspicious gaze.

And at that time, Gresha, who had remained silent until now, raised her voice.

"Oh, come on, come on!

"... to?

Gresha's first voice I brought with me, which I couldn't leave alone.

Fujido rushed to check his surroundings and turned his gaze to the former dragon, who had been silent as he had just peeled next to himself.

I said it again in a tongueless voice like Gresha wasn't used to it yet, without worrying about that gaze.

"Go, go, go!

"... what are you talking about? Or, you, you talked!?

Elsewhere, Gresha repeated the confusion of Fujido as if it were a broken liaison doll.

"Oh, come on, come on! Oh, my God!

Rimis was also too surprised and confused by abrupt reinforcements, but blinks as soon as he regains his mind.

Limis wasn't very good at thinking deeply.

"Here, here. Gresha says so, too! Golem Valley! Golem Valley!

Aria turns a frightened glance at the remiss of being together and starting to recite.

"No matter what you think, you're suspicious."

"... apparently, you've made up your mind"

The village chief pinched his mouth so as to block Aria's words.

Tell Fujido quickly, as if you are trying to finish the story as soon as possible.

"Lord Brave, you'd better hurry if you're heading there. In the near future, we plan to restrict access to the village for the Devil's Crusade."

"Huh... so suddenly!?

"Oh, come on, come on! Oh, my God!

"Golem Valley! Golem Valley!

"What the hell is this..."

I let Gresha keep screaming the word as if it were her mission, and let Alia fight her lips as she sifted.

I don't understand. I don't know what it is anymore. The story goes on and on while Aria and Fujido are confused by the unexpected.

From the shadow of the desk the village chief took out three large bags and placed them at the feet of Fujido.

"We have all the consumables such as portable food and potions, spare bullets, etc."

"... Huh!?

"Let me also give you this map. It's for Lord Brave, don't hesitate."

They stick out the map and push it with or without it.

"No, we still have to decide what to do."

"Sa, hurry up, Lord Brave. Time is finite. Thanks for your help. It's a shame to say goodbye to your journey. Please be sure to stay in the village of Vale after another demon king crusade. In doing so, we would like to welcome you very much."

"Uh, hey."

In the meantime, he brings the bag, and he just kicks the room out before questioning it.

There was something on that sword screen that could not be interrupted enough to say brave men.

When he was driven out of the mansion, the village chief finally caught an eyebrow and told Fujido to just say one word, as if to lurk his voice.

"Brave. Which, Priest, should I choose?"

"Heh...? Oh, ha, ha?

I don't know what that means.

In front of Fujido, who can desperately circle the thought, the front door closes.

All I had left was Gresha's voice continuing like it was really broken.

"Oh, come on, come on! Oh, my God!

"What the hell is this..."

"Yes, no, I want to hear..."
