Darenidemo Dekiru Kage Kara Tasukeru Maō Tōbatsu

Eighteenth report: Arrival and rendezvous ②

Fujido looks back at his people as he holds the big box handed to him.

"I've always thought... church is incredibly ahead of you"

"... because it's a big organization. It's beyond our borders."

"I'm reporting, isn't it too early to work? The church I know was just a savepoint."

"Savepoint......?

Anyway in the Vale Great Forest, in Purif I got maps and items. In the Golem Valley, he added it to his training and taught me about demons that show up.

Originally Fujido is a Saint Brave (Holly Brave) summoned by the Church. Maybe there's support from the church and it's natural, but it's working too fast nonetheless.

"How come all the investigation is over before we get here..."

This world is lagging behind the means of communicating information compared to the world where Fujido was. Yet I'm not convinced that I'm getting ahead of Fujido, who came all the way to Lane on the shortest route I can think of, and it's all over.

"The Church also has a variety of skills… Hero Summoning (Thermoning Hero) is also its own ritual, and rumors have it that there is even a department for capturing magicians and technicians who have created high-risk sorcery"

"Well... you're a monk like Mr. Gregorio, so it's not weird to have"

Fujido remembered Gregorio and replied with a bitter look to Aria's words that lurked his voice.

Go back to the inn and check the contents of the box. What was inside is instructions, maps, and demonic information to get water spirits that will guide you in this town.

It seems that the Spirit of the Water is the temple that sank at the bottom of the sea.

I've been around a lot in this world, and I've had a lot of experiences, but I've never dived into the ocean, and I don't know the means.

Fujido sighs emotionally, although it was a story that had been heard beforehand.

"Undersea Temple, huh? Fantasy here is superb, or..."

"I was expecting it, but Garnett might be tough."

Look at Garnett, whose eyes are swept away like Rimis was excited. It's like you're intimidating something.

Spirit Demon Instructors are susceptible to the influence of the field. Even a land filled with conflicting spirits can exercise magic without particular problems when it becomes as high a spirits as Garnett, but the power really falls.

Fujido continues reading through the words written on the paper.

"To get in... I need a magic guide," he said. "Mermaid Armor"?

"... you've never heard of it. And Aria?"

"... armor when you say armor, huh? I can't imagine it at all either. I guess the fact that Rimis has never heard of it is not another famous magic guide..."

Remis and Aria are looking at each other. Then I look at Gresha, but whether she's listening or not, she remains as heartless as ever. He's wandering his gaze into the universe with his blushing eyes.

I had a slight bad feeling about it, but I can't help thinking about it. Fujido nodded loudly once, raising his face.

"In the meantime, shall we go? Looks like it's gonna take a while to check the measurements and make them, and you better get it done first.... it says you've paid for it, it's all over the place."

§

"Ha... ha? That's 'Mermaid Armor'!? Duh, where's Armor!

The upward voice of the remiss echoes into a narrow store. In front of Miss's eyes, which opened wide to the limit, Dwarf, who named Zoran, the owner of the Magic Instrument Store, spun around the little white fabric in a familiar manner.

That seems to be the magic guide to the matter, but it just looks like a bikini with little fabric, no matter what it looks like to Rimis' eyes.

"Shh shh shh shh shh... don't worry. With this revolutionary armor created by Noh, you can become a fine mermaid even in the shape of the Lord!

"Duh, what do you mean? Duh!

"As, well, wait, wait, Remiss. Calm down."

Bright red in the face, Aria grabs her arm and stops the mistake of riding herself out and screaming. Rimis' gaze has stopped. It sucks for a moment into Aria's chest and becomes true. but soon waved his arms wide and nearly sued him.

"I'm not dressed to fight! What world have magicians and swordsmen fighting in swimsuits!

Zoran takes out something like a big magnifying glass from under the counter and says as he peeks. Largely enlarged eyes move to Fujido, Aria, Limis and Gresha.

"It's not a bathing suit. Mermaid armor."

"Huh... same thing!

"Shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh

……

Sure, I don't know and haven't heard of any remiss on how to get to the temple that sank under the sea. Water Spirit Magic might be able to do something about it, but I'm in trouble because I don't have water spirits.

I am deliberately behind an efficient battlefield to sign with the Spirit. I looked at the cloth cut placed on the counter and the remiss gave me a pitiful look. I can't even complain about one or two pieces of equipment right now.

I put my hand on the shoulder of such a remiss and Aria stepped forward.

"The effect, are you sure?

"I've had many achievements before."

"... other than swimsuits..."

"None"

I assure you, Zoran. Discuss that confident look in the corner of the store.

The remiss sighs with a tired look.

"Oh... that can't be... crazy"

"But it's information from the Church, likely correct. If there's any other way, I'll show you."

Protective equipment is as important in combat as weapons. Even if you have a healing magic user, if you take normal damage, you will lose movement and annihilation. They may even change their protective gear by their demons.

The Magic Master's robe and more are magically enhanced. The cloth gear wasn't necessarily weaker than the metal armor, but what Zoran was wielding just didn't seem to perform as a protective gear.

"In the first place, Aria's not magical, is she? Does it work..."

"... Magic guides are a drain on magic. Probably not working."

How little magic consumption can work with a trace magic guide in Aria, which has a complete zero magic handle. Aria sighed at Fujido's question.

I'm waiting for this answer as Zoran nibbles.

"Well, I can get it ready because of you. What about investigating other methods while you have them ready? I still don't know how easy it is to use the magic guide."

"... I... don't know what to do. You can't find out."

Fujido with a serious look on his face. No matter how many men you were pretending to be, you'll find out as soon as you take off your clothes.

"As it were, well, right...... the measurements are - why don't you just have a man made and put on some armor from above?

"... I wonder what a brave man is. I was called to crusade the Demon King... me"

I thought I had a hard time, but I didn't think I'd bother with this crap.

Imagine yourself dressed in mermaid armor, to some far-eyed Fujido, Aria couldn't say anything.

§ § §

The demons of the sea can only show their full strength in the sea. That's why the harbour towns are so rigid and built even as the sea falls into the hands of the Demon King. Many of them cannot come up to land.

There is also a port on the lane. Naturally bordered by the sea, but the defense is almost perfect.

Soldiers permanently stationed in baristas set up to chase back giant sea beasts such as Tentacle and Sea Serpent for when demons that can rise to land such as a handful of half-fishers (Marman) attacked.

Metal lattices are stretched out every certain distance on the waterways running through the town, preventing more than medium-sized demons from entering.

The town will also fall if the Demon King's Army hits us with a boat, but I don't think they can afford it, either, so much so that we can put our strength into it. So far I have not heard of the use of the ship by the Demon King Army.

Fujido's purpose this time is in his covenant with the Spirit. Sanya and Rabbi are certainly strong, but their magical qualities are quite low. In supporting it, it was imperative to sink Amelia into the seabed, both in the sense of personnel capable of using healing magic and in the sense of a magician.

Amelia's inability to swim is to the extent of her assumptions. I mean, I didn't think I had to be able to swim.

Where we could swim somewhat, humans cannot survive long beneath the sea. This support is better than being a Mermaid Armor altogether, and if Mermaid Armor works effectively, you don't have to swim.

You just have to walk. Even Kanazuchi has nothing to do with it.

Previously, there was no one on the coast with Sanya collecting materials today. They used to do seawater baths and such, but I guess they couldn't afford that anymore after the demons became active. It's just a quiet, beautiful sea and sandy beach.

Amelia, who followed me from behind, narrows her eyes and looks out at the first sea.

"Seawater bath, I wanted to"

"If I defeat the Demon King."

There are demons, too, and I just can't afford to be playing right now.

Sanya raises her voice as she follows with a big backpack behind her back.

Silver hair on brown skin. Even though I'm not wearing an armor, the highly exposed outfit contrasts with a rabbi wearing a full-body softrobe that follows.

"Boss, I've got a good idea"

"What?"

"How to get into the ocean without mermaid armor,"

For once, if possible, I wanted Amelia to experience the sea, but unfortunately Amelia's mermaid armor was not ready yet.

He couldn't wear it because he had a tight chest when he tried to put on Sanya's, and he was only going to show the sea that it was his first day, but Sanya confidently continues.

"Amelia, if you're about to choke, you just have to heal magic on yourself and make it heal. It's gonna be pretty painful, but you should be able to dive till you run out of divine power. Let's try it."

"... Mr. Ares, this guy's idea is insane. It's like I'm telling you to die. Am I getting the wrong candidate?

……

Amelia follows me on the shoulder. Sanya looks at this one funny. Sorry about that.

As he walked lightly along the coast to see what the sea was like, something gave him a head off the coast. The shadow that glimpses into the gap of the waves quickly increases its velocity and approaches this way.

Head similar to a plush and wet fish. The limbs, with their deep blue scales well grown, resemble men, but in the division they are made to be a kind of demon, not a subhuman. Pretty rare among aquatic demons, demons that can operate on land.

Pull out the hips knife in a natural motion without the appearance of Sanya being nervous.

"It's a fishman. That's unusual. Boss, I'm gonna get all the big guys."

"Sorry about that."

Going up to the sandy beach with his arms, Marman turned his senseless eyes to this one. Standing up in a fluttering, falling motion, he runs toward us.

They can survive on land, but they can only survive. Combat ability falls considerably. Strong arms but watery feet are not suitable for running ashore. Nonetheless, there is no hesitation or fear in Marman's movements.

One reason fishermen are classified as demons is low intelligence. These guys are considerably less intelligent than the species classified as subhuman. It also has little language skills and moves according to instincts. It is a demon that is highly fertile, appetizing and attacking everyone, but cannot be an enemy if you are somewhat comfortable fighting on land.

No weapons, no numbers. This is better. I'm not hiding my presence, and even the beasts around it would be a little more alert.

I've been running so hard with Peppa, and Sanya throws a knife.

Without even taking evasive action, Marman fell down and stopped moving when he was lightly knifed to its head.

"I don't know what you want"

"I don't know. You'd be a little stronger in the ocean. If they come out in large quantities in the sea, they're tough, so be careful. There are some examples of ships being sunk."

"No matter how many you've had, you can't lose."

"Underwater temples don't let big demons in, do they? Isn't it about the size of these guys, Max?

I didn't see it, but from what Sanya told me, the passage of the Temple of the Seabed isn't that wide. Since many aquatic demons are proportional in size and strength, no great demons should appear.

Pull out the knife. Green blood flows through the wound. Looking down at the knife wet in blood, Sanya said.

"Maybe it does. Maybe a little smarter would have been a threat."
