Darenidemo Dekiru Kage Kara Tasukeru Maō Tōbatsu

A quiet moonlight illuminates the mountain path at night.

Between the neglected trees, the rabbi was running with a nasty look on his face.

The foot movement is light and quick, and there are few footsteps.

The deeply worn hood is moving perfectly. Rabbi's hearing is excellent far beyond people. Even if there is a mix of wind sounds, river spirals, and obnoxious bird chirps, it's easy enough to hear how the mountaintop is that there is a mountain god.

"I really got a troublesome job..."

Sanya, acting with Rabbi and Ares, is a pair for two. The two of us have always done the tasks entrusted to us by our master, and we have seldom split up and worked. If it's true, we both wanted to act this time, but the boss's intentions didn't allow it.

Rabbi is sensitive to the strength of his opponent. Unlike Sanya, who you don't actually have to touch, it's easy to see what you shouldn't defy. The general opponent is one who can draw quite a few concessions, but this time his client was the one who should not have defied him uncommonly. If they tell me I'm gonna allocate it, I'm gonna have to shut up and accept that.

The rabbi shakes his head small and dismisses the sharp glance that floated, directed at him the first time he met him. What we need to think about now, what we need to focus on, is the completion of the mandate given.

If true, the job on the Rabbi side should have been easier compared to the job on the Sanya side. It's just a escort mission, even the rabbi has done countless things.

The journey to the Water Capital is certainly a distance away, nor is it a particularly dangerous zone. Even brave men will be able to run through, and there's little chance of troublesome demons coming out.

"Ugh... I can't believe Mr. Brave is going into trouble himself... it was a miscalculation"

Stop where you came from near the summit. In a cold breeze blown by accident, the rabbi shuddered as he leaned over the collar of his coat.

Soon the noise stopped. It's like you're lurking your breath, no bird chirping, no beast voice. It is a sign of some anomaly. Is there an advanced demonic territory, or even a stretch in the junction?

The villagers' attitude was strange, but there is no doubt that something lives on the mountain.

Rabbi is pacifist. If it's true, I don't want to go outside the city.

But I had to do my job clearly. Rabbi was asked to escort Fujido Ichigo and Amelia.

Fujido One Line and Amelia, each information was heard beforehand, but St. Brave One Line is low level, and Amelia is a monk. The most viable of them all was myself, a scout (scout), albeit half a serving.

You have to figure out what they are, even if you're going to escort them first. Originally, that's one of the key roles of scouts.

Slip your hands in thin, white gloves together quietly, take a deep breath and breathe. The rabbi squeaks in a trembling voice.

"... I'm here."

It's not my fault. I tried to hide in the shadow of a tree and lurked my breath.

Something cold passes through my spine. Native timid temperament - a crisis-sensing sensor is sounding an alarm in the brain. It springs up out of my mind biting it to death and clarity my ears still.

Unlike Sanya, Rabbi's nose doesn't work. My eyes aren't very good either. The only thing Rabbi is confident about is his ears.

In the hood, pinch your ears and catch the sound. The rabbi is small. I have no muscle strength compared to Sanya and weigh even less than Sanya.

Unlike Sanya, Rabbi doesn't have a bow. There's no knife either. The only way to defeat more than a certain demon is to strike an accident.

Hear the sound for a while and the rabbi frowns. Ruby's eyes, visible from the gap in the hood, stare down at the ground.

- The sound, it doesn't.

Even if you concentrate on hearing, you can't read the signs of demons that should be rooting the summit of the mountain.

Rabbi holding his chest down and sinking the sound of his heart, which rings high from time to time. That vision is engulfed in darkness. And the rabbi turned his eyes to the sky, and beheld.

The moon had disappeared, shining a gentle light until earlier.

- No, it didn't disappear. Huge black chunks covering the moon. Watching it swinging from the top, the rabbi opened his eyes wide as if he had been taken aback.

Going up a rugged mountain path in a raging sun. The place that he was designated the god of the mountain, taught by the village chief, was at the top of the mountain.

Remis follows the wand with one hand behind Fujido, who advances the sword with one hand in alarm of the appearance of the demon.

"Hey, are you sure?

"... well, it's a passage"

Fujido answered with a sword a bee demon about the size of a puppy flying in with a deafening sound.

The mountain god who seeks the sacrifice of a young maiden. For Fujido, it's something you can't overlook.

Fujido has been in the care of many since he came to this world. I didn't take care of this village directly, but I can't abandon it.

Reminds me of a villager who looked pale, Fujido says with a small sigh.

"For the most part, there is no god who seeks sacrifice - not God"

"Well, if it was a god, it would be an evil god"

Aria nods small at Fujido's serious expression. AZ GREED, considered a pillar of the Supreme God, seeks order. Sacrifice and other acts furthest from it, and as far as Aria knows there is no such thing in ordinary God.

That's one reason Aria didn't stop Fujido from making a cheap contract.

"There's no god in this place. Daimyo, a wise warcraft or something is pretending to..."

God is different from man. Huge signs accompany there. If it's God who really wants sacrifice, Garnett should make a scene.

View Garnett with Rimis on his shoulder. Garnett responded with a tongue out of his mouth about what he was thinking.

I frequently care about Gresha as she slams the road with the branches of the tree she picks up.

It is not the first time that a sacrifice has been sought, and the road to the summit is better maintained than the road to the village.

As we approach the top, we get less noise. Until then, the sounds of bugs, birds and beasts that had been heard disappeared as if they could lurk their voices, and only the noises of the stirring wind were echoed.

Aria stops abruptly and lurks her eyebrows.

"... apparently, you do have something..."

Look around. The chills that ran up my spine did indicate that there was some powerful territory there.

Remis puts his wand in one hand and is alert so that he can use magic at any time.

The summit is still ahead of us. Aria adds to Fujido, who pulls out the holy sword and looks up the path leading up.

"I don't think it's God's kind. God's kind should have an effect on the terrain. Probably the kind of little cunning chemistry. The villagers were suspicious, but the story seemed to be true."

"Chemistry... or..."

Most demons that Fujido had ever defeated did not solve the humanities. To the word, take the shield out of the magic guide and grip it.

Only once did Fujido see a wise demon he'd met, a demon who was fighting in the Vale Great Forest. Fujido is now stronger than he was then, but I still don't know if I can defeat the demons I saw then.

I just came near the top, and Fujido narrows his eyes. Gresha is looking down at the grass that grows on the ground, rather than putting up a hammer.

"... smells like blood"

"... Yep"

To Fujido's words, Aria also nods small, pointing her sharp gaze at the summit of the mountain. There is no place for trees and trees to hide in the mountain path. That also means that this one is unlikely to be ambushed at the same time that there is no place to lurk.

Thirty-three. That's the number of people who have been sacrificed in about ten years, until now, the village chief told me. In the meantime, a passing mercenary seems to have made his way to the exorcism, but says he didn't return to just one.

Fujido shuddered small as he rebuffed the information he had heard. It's not fear. The samurai trembled.

There is nothing uncut in the Holy Sword Ex. Rimis' flaming spiritual witchcraft has burned down any demon, and even Aria has enough power to deal with Golem Valley's quick and powerful golem against her.

No, even if there wasn't a winning chance, Fujido wouldn't have been able to get in the way of that village chief's words.

Reach the top with caution. What was there was some naive impression of a stone altar. Simple enough to scrape a big stone together. That might be missing there, and you might not have known if it hadn't been said to be an altar beforehand.

Not so high a mountain, but nothing in sight, with a spectacular view under his eyes.

Approaching the altar. The red and black stains stain the altar, and I can't feel the sanctity.

Fujido had visited the church many times before, but there was a peculiar air there where his filth would be dropped. Take your gaze off the wild altar and look around.

Stand on its back as Aria covers Fujido's blind spot. Rimis strokes the surface of the altar with a cane and makes a dry voice.

"Nothing... you're not here"

The moment Fujido tried to answer it, he noticed something black moving in the gap between the fujitsu trees. Aria said stunned when she was taken for a moment by an impenetrable lump of pitch black and watched the same thing where she spoke out.

"It's Sodo Bear. Why are they in such close proximity?"

In the words, the black mass that was in Fujido's sight gained shape. It was the back that looked like a chunk. Black hair close to darkness. That gets up slowly. Two golden eyes that glow dimly as embedded in black fur do capture Fujido.

Fujido said in a dry voice to that shape that also moves.

"... Bear?

"It's a demon. Attention, Fujido. They're - strong. And this smell of blood..."

Aria explains it quickly. In front of Fujido, Sodo Bear stood up on both of those legs.

I looked like a chunk because my whole body was covered in dark hair. The figure that stood up resembles Fujido's knowing bear badly. What is different from a bear is that it has a stable posture even when standing on two legs. And - claws like blades (blades) stretched out of those hands.

Before Fujido questioned him, Sodo Bear began walking. Running tough as a human using two legs.

In just a few seconds, the distance becomes zero, and its nails shake heavily as Fujido is taken open by its unexpected behavior. Without even roaring, Aria grabbed the swung blade in between and at Lightning Howl.

Beautiful blades like thunder shaped and lacquered black nails collide and sparks scatter. The nail sounds slippery over the blade.

Aria yelled desperately at Fujido, who was stiff to the sight for a moment, pushing the blade back.

"Lord Fujido, Sodo Bear is a superior demon! Be on guard!

The beast waves the other arm down. Fujido returned to me with that warning and took the shaken blade with a shield. Heavy shock transmits arms, and thought finally catches up with the fight. Nearly three meters tall. An emotionally invisible golden eye looked down at Fujido.

"" The Flaming Spear (Flame Lance) ""

On its body, the magic of a remiss strikes from the side. To the crimson spear unleashed, Sodo Bear stepped back, trying to take the steps. A spear of flame passes through the demonic space by then, piercing the trees behind it and burning them all down.

"I avoided magic. Huh!?

Breathe hard. Even as he opens his eyes in amazement, Fujido steps in strongly and unleashes a slaughter.

Sodo Bear took it with his hook and nail. Leaving behind a slight response, the lacquered black nail is cut by the holy sword. The tip of the sword hurt his right arm shallow as it was, and the black monster screamed like a surprise.

Hold as if sheltering your right arm, and Sodo Bear kicks hard on the ground. A stone that was rolling on the ground flew in, and Fujido reflexively took it with a shield.

By then Sodo Bear was already out of range of the blade. From nearly ten meters away, the golden eyes shine as if to peek at this one.

Feeling intelligent there, Fujido fought. Grab the sword and tow it toward Sodo Bear.

Even standing on two legs was unexpected for Fujido, but it was even more startling for just a giant bear to move like a skilled mercenary. I say once I bite my lips at the disgust of not knowing what to do.

"What... that..."

"It is an intrinsic species that lives in the northern Lukes. With sword-like hook claws and high intelligence, it is a monster close to an extremely demonic clan that strikes those in the territory."

"Close to Demons...... Demons"

Aria repositions herself around the black beast to draw a circle. Fujido breathes into that too serious look. Ask without taking your gaze off the enemy.

"What about the sacrifice... this guy?

"It's possible... it's possible. At least this level of demons won't be able to be fattened by villagers. No, even concurrent mercenaries probably..."

Aria has not actually fought before, but her name was widely known in the army as the monster of caution. Its territory rarely appears on the plains because it is in the mountains, but it is a demon whose crusade order is issued immediately if it is found to exist.

I'm not supposed to be a one-on-one enemy demon with a level aria. Fujido, with his most powerful weapon, his blade-shaped paw, would have been able to defeat him with a single blow if he had shot him by accident, but his opponent was already on guard.

But it's not like we never have a chance. There are four of us.

Aria leaves in front of the remiss with a natural leg lift to prevent an attack on the remiss even if it is mistaken.

The wise demon of this hand perceives my power difference. But Sodo Bear just breathes roughly like he was excited, and he doesn't look like he's escaping despite having his right nail cut in half.

The air was raw and hot. The beast's wandering intention to kill fills the air, and Aria's body stiffens for a moment.

Sodo Bear steps in at an incredible rate from that gigantic body.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!

In an instant, he packed the distance and intercepted the swung down blade, with Fujido roaring.
