"No, it's peaceful."
"Where is it? Ray's the only one who thinks that."
Seeing people moving in a hurry, I felt at peace, but Charstena doesn't seem to.
"Peace. It's been less than two weeks since then and I haven't made a single progression. Peace, isn't it?
"If it's really peaceful, we won't be driven out into battle."
The demonic progression has never happened in the last two weeks. Reinforcements will also arrive in a few more days.
In that case, it's over now, too.
So I thought it was peaceful, but what Charstena has to say also makes sense.
If it's true peace, students like us, more importantly adults, shouldn't be driven out on the battlefield.
But this place is not as peaceful as Japan.
There is a demonic danger lurking on the other side.
Then even if it's only this peaceful, I think we deserve to call it peace.
"Even if I say we're going to be driven out, aren't we like spares? You can't fight if you're bad, can you?
"You don't have to fight."
"Well, so is that..."
I don't like it. I feel like I've been molested.
The protection of the King's capital is currently divided into three forces.
Guild, Knights living in Wangdu, Teacher Army at the Royal College.
These three forces form a formation divided into an avant-garde and a rear guard.
Gilmouth and the principal take command, respectively.
The overall command is to be taken by the king.
We belong to the basic rear guard.
It's dangerous.
In addition to us, people who have achieved high grades in the college also participate.
The number of magicians is low.
Other than that, some belong to a unit that treats injured people even further back.
We can all use magic to some extent, so we're the guards.
I'm a little worried about Gold and Huck, but, well, if I do it instead, you'll have no problem.
There's also Charstena.
Except.
We can only participate when we have a large number of enemies.
Because the grownups don't want us to fight too much.
However, there is no reason to destroy the King's capital with feelings that I just don't want you to do so, and I have decided to participate conditionally.
Because of that, I was told that only I could come at any time.
He had a strong request from an adventurer.
Mostly with basil or basil?
That drink told me he bothered to sue the king directly.
I don't mind that, but I'm pissed that I convinced him out loud that 'such a fucking kid, I just wish the demon had bobbed me once'.
I'll throw you in the demon later.
"By the way, what about everyone?
"Gold and Anna are dating. Haku went after it."
"Anna and Gordo are dating ⁉ What are you doing, in this emergency..."
"That's what Ray says?
Totally, no matter how peaceful it is, it's an emergency, but it's a date... it's just a bunch of them.
Even if you ask me out on a date with Charstena and I'm on the boulevard now...
I put myself on the shelf and thought about it.
"Nevertheless, Gold, he's going to attack."
"Really. Like every day, what do we do from Anna, what do we do? They talk to me..."
"Hey, who's that normal girl?"
I don't know him like that.
So far, I didn't know perversion would improve…
Gordo, well done. Almost there.
"Poor thing. Anna's a normal girl, too, right? Since before."
"If that's normal, I'm sure I won't be in love for the rest of my life."
Absolutely not normal, that guy.
I still remember him with a face soaking in joy, burying his face in my brother's pants.
"You were here, you guys"
As I was dating Charstena, Gilk came.
Shit, I'm sorry to interrupt.
"Oh, and go home"
I accidentally got the real deal.
"This asshole, who's going home. Where are the Golds?
"On a date"
"What? What are you doing in this emergency..."
Gilk seems to agree with me.
Damn, Wang Du often dates in the middle of a mayhem, those guys.
"Not at all. I don't know what's going on here."
"Me, I was asked to go on a date...?
"You guys too!
Gilk has spoken out loud because Charstena snitched.
"Gilk, it's a misunderstanding. First of all, those two started dating first, and they went with that as Huck seemed interesting. I was at the guild then, but when I got back, all I had was Charstena. That's why we're going on a date without stopping."
"Together, asshole"
There's no stopping. We're not together. We just happened to be two people, so I just said we were going on a date.
Brain, Your Honor! I'm not bad, am I?
"Verdict, I'm not guilty."
"What's wrong all of a sudden, asshole"
Whoa, looks like the trial in your brain has leaked to the outside world.
Dangerous. Don't let the weirdo think you are.
Well, it's time to ask him what Gilk's here for.
"... So, Gilk, what are you doing here? If you need anything, you're in the way of your date, so go home."
"... asshole, I don't have time for a date. Earlier, there was information that demons had marched this way."
Why didn't you tell me sooner? Not if you're kidding!
"That's you, asshole"
Finally, are you here?
Damn, the reinforcements and my dad are still here.
Anyway, we have to go fast.
Damn, not if you're on a date, guys.
"I'm the one with the skills, and they're gonna find me and get me out of here first."
"Yeah."
"Okay."
I break up with the two of them and activate my space exploration skills.
It's a hack to look for.
The shape is the easiest to understand.
"... Found"
I detected Haku as soon as I activated him.
Looks like he was nearby, and if he kept walking like this, he might have joined us.
When it comes to dating, that's probably because it's a boulevard.
I'm here too...
Even in such an emergency, the boulevard is open to many shops.
In a situation where we don't know when the progression will come, we won't be able to keep the store closed forever.
"Haku, time to play is over."
"Pi?"
"Progress has begun."
"Pii!" (Oh my God!)
Yes, what are you doing in those tough times?
Not if you're doing a tooth turtle or something.
Where Huck rode on his shoulder as usual, I walked to where the other two were.
Haku seemed to be watching pretty close, and he was right there.
"Sorry about the date, but it's an emergency"
"It's not a date!
"Uh, wasn't it a date?
We don't talk about an emergency, we talk about whether it's a date or not.
"Because I don't care about that.... Here comes the demon."
"What, are you here? Really?"
"Uh, I was on a date because of you."
"We're going anyway."
I took Anna, who was a little scared, and Gordo, the untrained Taratara, on a date, and headed over to the Charstenas.
Gilk, give me the information I know now.
"Oh."
We rendezvoused near the center of the guard.
And I encouraged Gilk to explain the information we have now where everyone is aligned.
"Now all we know is that the number is over 5,000. I don't know how many are there. Probably some S-grades."
I examine the information I have been given and set up an operation.
The number is over 5,000…
Approximately eight to nine thousand would have been on the slopes on this side of Cliff Mountain.
Approximately 60% are progressing at least.
Class S 30, Class A 300, Class B 1200, or less, divided by class?
The fact that this number of S grades came at the same time means there are people who can follow S grades...
The rank of demons is determined by man.
It's not a demon. So there are ranks decided by demons apart from people.
Even if you decide, this is not exactly the case.
It's just that the stronger ones are the higher ranks.
In other words, there is also a top and bottom within each rank.
The higher the rank a person decides, the larger it opens.
That's already about the difference between A and S...
And when that difference becomes too great, people raise the rank of demons.
You have an SS class...?
... No, there couldn't have been such a powerful individual.
Then there's a strong guy jumping through the S-level...?
... one, there you are.
The guy who got to S-grade at the beginning and then kept taking in protection...
"... how soon will it be coming?
"Probably around half an hour"
That's pretty short.
Then I think I can see it with my skills.
I used a combination of Chiriko and Clairvoyance and looked far past the avant-garde lined up in front.
"... ha"
I accidentally leaked my sigh.
Really nasty. You can't do that... We need to do something...
"... Gilk, please everyone. I'm just gonna go to Gilmouth's."
"Got it. Is something wrong?
"The strongest of the mountains is coming."
Gilk asked me if I wanted to go to Gilmouth.
I gave it back the lightest and strongest.
"... well. Okay. Go on, I'll take care of this place."
"Thankyou."
I thanked him with my hands up, and Gilk sent him out with his hands up.
"Gilmouth, it sucks ~"
"If it sucks, be more nervous"
"Ha, I wonder if that's impossible ~. 'Cause it's getting kind of fun."
My non-nervous way of speaking is not deliberate. For some reason, it's getting fun.
Face the same crisis as everyone else. That's all I enjoyed.
Probably came the recoil I've been doing all alone.
"You've been crazy, too. So what's wrong with that?
"That's terrible. Well, fine..."
I'm normal, though.
I'm just excited...
"... the most powerful demon in that mountain is coming. Maybe he's leading this herd."
"... well I thought there was. Anyway, that's the number. That's weird if he doesn't lead it."
"Really? Do you have any information on that demon?
That's Gilmouth. The season is different from the others.
Looks like I've been thinking about that possibility.
"What is information?
"First of all, it's like a demon with five dog heads."
"What's that? I've never even heard of him."
This is surprising.
I thought Gilmouth would know something...
... that Gilmouth doesn't know might be a new breed.
"Then I guess that's what happened to the animal or the Warcraft that lived in that mountain."
"I see. It's certainly a possible story. Anything else?
"After that it's a roughly strength prediction, but I think it's in front of SS. Obviously... I can't compare it to anything else. This is the guy who started out as an S-tier, and he seems to take in more protection than anyone else."
"... there's a troublemaker out there."
Really.
If you're a king orga or something, if you cooperate, you can defeat it without a problem...
He's a mystery, isn't he?
I don't know what kind of attack is coming.
"... Probably a speedy demon. And the horizons are wide. I don't think there's any point in attacking from behind. I think they're probably going to make some sort of attribute attack later."
I saw the demon from afar once before.
He had multiple faces, like Keroberos, exhaling from each of the five faces wrapped around a different attribute.
Not big.
However, I have a body that seems lumpy if I do.
It would definitely be faster than King Auga.
Failure to cope with that speed will result in nothing being done.
"... one more speedy person with Sister Shara, and I'll be out later. I think that's the only way. It looks like there are other S-grades..."
"... if that's what you say. But don't think about knocking him down. You can stop it. Once you're done hunting the others, we'll send reinforcements."
If I had one more with my speedy Shara sister, I wouldn't be hit that way.
To some extent, I can react, and yes, they won't.
With foresight, multiple thoughts, and other skills to improve physical abilities, you should be able to cope.
When I was in King Auga, I almost got hit with my alarm and my chronic mind, but now I don't have that.
Look at it properly, you should be able to handle it if you think about it. Besides, my main thing is to get in the way of support and opponents in the back.
You don't have to come forward.
"Nice to meet you. Then I'll leave you to Gilmouth about the Shara sisters. I'll prep the magic first."
"? Not yet, isn't it? You don't even see it, do you?
"I have a guy who takes a while to fire. Plus, it's wide-area magic that you can't use when it comes to fighting demons."
I can only use the first shot. But it's well worth it.
I broke King Auga's arm. This time I can prepare someone more powerful than that.
"But now you're with that monster..."
"It's okay, I want to see you first."
I'll get around it with Keroberos.
There should be quite a few fewer.
"Right. Lai Lai"
"Well, I'll do it. He's in the middle of nowhere, so I'll take care of the annihilation."
That's what I said, out in front of the avant-garde. Gilmouth ran to get the Shara sisters.
"Urantie, can you help me?
From all around, I'd look like I'm talking to myself.
But there's a proper spirit, a urantium.
"Yeah, what am I supposed to do?
"The magic we're going to activate is shaping the dragon, but I want you to keep the water out of its mouth."
I'm going to shoot a much stronger brace this time.
But I don't have enough power to contain it on my own.
So I decided to ask Uranti to cooperate as well.
Copy that.
I activated the water dragon just as Uranti accepted.
With 80% of his magic, he created a water dragon the size of a Royal College school building.
Already the water flows into the mouth, using 20% of the magic left in the mouth and applying pressure with wind magic.
Around or everyone who saw it felt solidified.
"... that's a big dragon... Is magic okay?
"That's a tease. Do it faster than that."
"Okay."
Urantie is wind magic, which puts more pressure on the mouth.
Now you should be able to accumulate until you have maximum power.
Water dragon braces vary in power depending on the time they fill. And the maximum power changes depending on the amount of water you pinch in.
The amount of water that comes in is the body of a water dragon.
So the bigger it is, the more powerful it is.
The water dragon with 80% of my magic is huge.
I can swallow the whole thing lightly, such as King Auga.
If you look behind you, avant-garde or guard, you are stunned by this huge water dragon that suddenly appeared.
"Thanks. Uranium Tea"
'I don't care. This much.'
"Then don't ask for that water dragon. I'll replenish the magic."
That said, I left there early and headed towards the rear guard center where the Charstenas were.
If I'm not near Charstena, I won't be able to use my experience. We have to do something soon.
"It's you, that's..."
Back to everyone, that was the first voice.
"Well. And I'm going to fight in front of you..."
"No! I'm coming too!
When I told her I was going to the avant-garde alone, Charstena grabbed my arm and said to herself, too.
The body temperature coming from Charstena was very cold.
I have no heart or my body is shaking.
It is fear in its eyes.
I'm afraid of losing it. That's the eye.
I embraced Charstena softly.
"Ah..."
"I'm fine. I'm not dying. Neither Charstena nor everyone dies. I won't let anyone die."
I swear so quietly, as I speak to Charstena in my arms.
All this time, I came alone for that.
That hasn't changed since I decided to fight with everyone.
I will never let you die.
Definitely protect everyone.
And... I won't let myself die.
This is my vow, my resolve.
"Charstena, I promise. Let's all go for a full course. With my luxury."
"... yeah"
Sharstena nodded small at me when I said it like it was a little bit of a joke.
I'll let Charstena go slowly.
And activated the experience return.
The amount to be reduced is 200.
That's just the amount. But the magic that swells up roughly 100 times is enormous.
It's the same amount of magic as S-Class.
Reduced at once. It overflows from my body.
A vortex of magic broke out around me.
But we don't run wild like we once did.
Perfectly manipulated. It gradually sucks into my body and fits in.
"... Ray's already on his way."
Charstena told me to squeal like that when she saw my magic refills fit.
That would only have sounded like me in front of you.
It was as small a voice as that.
"Are you relieved?
"Yeah. That's regrettable. I can't fight beside Ray again..."
"Again...?
Also, I tilted my neck wondering when you were talking about it.
You mean when King Auga...?
I did ignore her then and fought alone.
But I'm with you this time.
Sure, I'm breaking up with the avant-garde and the rear guard, but that's not so much a problem.
I'm going to be fighting with Charstena and everyone else.
"... we'll fight together. It's just the difference between back and front."
"... yes, you are"
Charstena shrugged on her leaning over and said nothing more. Sharstena clenches her fist and bites her lower lip with regret.
I got worried about Charstena and tried to keep the words going. But that's where my voice rose from the avant-garde.
"A demon."
"I see quite a few of them."
We saw one voice at a time.
Bad between...
I'm worried about Charstena, but if the demons are here, we have to get back soon.
... I have no choice. Let's leave Charstena to everyone.
"... Everybody asked for it"
That's all I said, ran away from there.
I didn't hear back.
But my eyes looked. Everyone said they knew what I was trying to say.
I went back to the water dragon.
When I looked forward, demons were imminent, even if I didn't have to use my skills anymore, until I could confirm enough.
Approximately 10 minutes to reach the enemy?
"The rear guard, prepare for magic! Reduce the number of enemies before they come in! And break it off the edge! The middle is good!
Magically loud voices rang.
That was a planned instruction. There are only about 300 avant-gardes.
The guards let in 200 students.
Overwhelmed by numbers.
So at the beginning, destroy the weak demons with each of the largest wide-area magic.
And my greatest wide-area magic is this water dragon.
This should blow up the center of the demon army.
I was relieved that what I told Gilmouth earlier seemed to have been properly conveyed to the rear guard.
There's no need to waste time in the same place.
"Ray."
"Ah, Sister Shara! And..."
"It's Gerk. Greetings, boy."
It was a knight man who came with Sister Shara.
The man wearing more light armor than heavy equipment has offered me his hand.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Gerk. I'm Ray."
Shake hands while briefly introducing yourself.
"So? Ray, where are you around?
"Oh, that's it... because this will wipe out the miscellaneous fish around here, and then I'll tell you. There are so many demons I can't see..."
I pointed to the water dragon, and then I looked at the demon army and said,
"Ray, are you a detector? I heard about the guard..."
"I can do both."
Gerk has asked with an astonishing glance. I answer that lightly.
"Original again?
"That's right. So what I taught my sister Shara before was a by-product of trying to make this."
"That magic is a by-product...?... What kind of magic is this...? I'm scared..."
Certainly a convenient magic for a by-product, that one.
It can be a trolley, and it can be a moving doll. Infinite use.
"Well, that's a lot of power. Maybe the maximum firepower I can get out..."
I've never increased the pressure so far either, so I don't know what's gonna happen.
Looking forward to it. How powerful will it be?
"Urantie, if I signal you, release the magic."
Copy that.
"Who are you telling, Ray?
Sister Shara asked me as she leaned her neck as she spoke in the direction of no one else.
"It's the Spirit. I can see it."
"Wow, I don't know... I don't know what else to do with those people's sons..."
Sister Shara started blaming my fathers for my anomaly.
I'm not saying it does matter, but I'm anomalous because I was reincarnated, not because of those guys.... should be.
Even if I worked out from a very young age, it's not my father's fault. I guess...
"Because Mr. Shara knows the parents of this child?
"Yes.... it's the master and his wife"
"Oh! Did you raise someone like Shara? I'd love to see you."
Looks like Gerk took an interest in his father.
After all, Sister Shara looks like a very strong adventurer.
I've heard it's in front of s before.
It's very different from Basil. If he took it seriously too, he would be...
"With that said, Ray, what about your father?
"Dad? Dad's on a journey right now."
"Oh, I wasn't old enough to call you my father... Oh well..."
Sister Shara seems a little shocked by my growth.
I won't tell Sister Shara, but I've been calling her in my heart for a long time.
My mother is with me. I'm scared.
"Too bad. It would make this fight easier..."
"Instead of getting easier, you don't have to do anything."
"Right. That's enough for one person."
"Oh, so much..."
I think my dad's getting bigger and bigger in Gerk.
Words are already gaining respect.
"Well, let's do our best without my father this time. Probably because I'll be back soon..."
"Really?
"Probably, but my dad's going to the World Tree to put away this commotion, 'cause I left over two years ago, and it's not weird it's time to come home,"
Or it's late. Not yet, I'd say.
My father's feet would have been sooner.
Will even my father have a hard time attacking the world tree?
With that said, I think the book said that the World Tree Forest leads people astray.
... Whatever you think, don't get lost if you're a father, for sure. Definitely. There's no way I'm not lost.
Is that why you're late...
"Well, if you can stand this one, you'll be fine."
Yes, the rest of the party will end if I say to my father, "Please, hunt all those mountain demons".
It'll take some time, but you'll be sure to do it.
Okay, well, you're running out of time to talk.
It's already right up there.
Already, some of them seem to be unleashing magic.
I guess I'll do it, too, it's time.
"Well, shall we? Urantie."
"Yes."
"Okay, three, two, one, now!
Me and Uranti unlocked the magic of the wind, and the pressure on the water was released only in one direction.
There it is, just saying it's the limit, and the water pops out to me first.
It became a huge chunk of water of tremendous speed and was fired forward.
Swallow an army of demons, which will keep them away from this side without losing momentum.
It also swallowed certain trees and rocks from time to time, blowing demons to the other side of the horizon.
And there was a big hole in the middle of the army of demons.
A few seconds later, a roar rang in the distance.
Dogowowo on.
....................................... is that it?
