Half-elves Fall in Love

The howl surrounding the town of Catalina (the Anttsuka building named) turns into a busy roar, for a few hours.

We, Special Agent Deane, were solidifying ourselves in one room as we fought against the thick voices of hardwolves and horndreos that were constantly heard.

It's not like someone told me to do that. I was simply scared and all the men snuggled together in the women's room.

"This situation goes on every day...?

Especially frightened is still the non-combatant Apple.

Even the same non-combatants, Mr. Hilda and Irina are just as good as old, or at least calm on the surface.

"I wonder if there's any interception action"

I care firmly outside the door as a fully armed Angelos clenches the pattern of his sword.

Catalina is a large building spanning more than a dozen floors, a fort.

Within that structure there is a large corridor that leads to a spiral, so that the luggage can be pulled and moved to the upper level.

Upon ascending to the upper level, he was able to throw rocks, piles, etc. from the holes in the outer walls that were stretched out so that he could attack demons efficiently.

"I wonder if I can't speak up because we're not regular reinforcements... then I can't rest in this situation anyway, even though I'd appreciate it if you'd let me help"

Noose, and restless Angelos.

By contrast, Aurora was calm over a cup of tea.

"Why don't you calm down a little and judge by common sense?

"J, common sense?

"Didn't the Great Demon Invasion mean these situations would last for weeks? More, demons are things that become more active at night.... If I kept fighting the demons until they were quiet because they were loud, I wouldn't hold them because of how strong they were?

"Well, that's... but that's why you can't just wait until the demons are gone"

"It won't be us who judge it."

"... yes, I am."

Though there are robust exterior walls, the state of the demon roaring vigorously in the immediate vicinity is not calming in the coarse nerves.

Even though I thought it would be safe first by reason, if I could do something, I felt in a hurry, like we were all Angelos.

"They're not gonna intercept tonight."

There, Mr. Deane, who was going to the defensive squad crawl, came back.

"Intercept...... don't, in this situation? Are you serious?

Mr. Deane nods when Angelos inquires.

And he snapped, "That's right," as Naris shrugged his shoulder with Tess.

"What do you mean?

Tess answers Angelos' gaze.

"There's a good chance you'll be avoided throwing something during the time the demon is active. Interception is more or less daytime, because it's better decided during the day anyway. Not just here, anywhere."

"That's limited to throwing things, too, hey. Well, I don't know what it's like to be in a hurry, but you should hold onto one of them and go to sleep there, seriously. Fighting is like a natural disaster, so if we don't work as hard as we can, we won't be able to do it."

"Naris is right. I've never been over defeating demons, but now is not an efficient time."

Mr. Deane pounds Angelos' head, tapping lightly.

"but we're not here to defeat the demons"

"Investigation."

Mr. Diane laughs niggardly.

"Non-combatants, that and Luna standby. And then everybody, get ready.... We're going to investigate. I'm taking off in Maia, so I need your help."

The Celesta group in a hurry and the Gauntlet and Naia stand up a little late to salute each other.

Yes, we were also aiming to "investigate what we can do now."

Ask the mayor to open the door for throwing.

Dozens of meters high is nothing, Mr. Deane, followed by Maia and Lyla jumping.

Don, don, and land.

Mr. Deane punched the nose column with one fist and blew it all back the other way around the hard wolf would arrive.

"I'll give you my assistant knife!

"Angelos, I'm going!

Then Almeida and Angelos fell.

Along with Maia and Lyla, just five people start fighting hundreds and hundreds of herding beasts against each other.

"We'll do it, too."

"Ugh!

We, the men, descend to the archer platform, which is a little lower.

This one is wide to the side and narrow gaps to the vertical. Not enough clearance for people to get in and out, but just at an angle where they can aim around the city's main entrance.

Crossbows can't shoot straight down, so they can't shoot unless they're this way.

"I'm afraid it's not an angle where we can directly support the hundreds of people."

Laughs vigorously as Rants winds up his crossbow strings.

Rants and Gort, these two have the fucking courage to masturbate grandly in front of Mr. Deane, but their boldness additions and subtractions are reliable to be demonstrated even during battle.

These two will never panic in front of any enemy. I have not been elected to this task force in Dade.

"I'm glad you didn't hit the Hundreds at an angle. I can use Smythson's new weapon."

Cairon had taken the brace shooter out of his luggage at some point.

Remove the stiffness and "breath sealing stone" from the sealing box and place it on the firing platform.

"Can I shoot you, owner?

"You're in charge, Edgar Cairon. Ten men."

We exchanged a teared grin with each other, and Cairon breathed sealed stones with a brace shooter, firing.

A bommy fireball occurs, a few hard wolves are involved, and you can see it bursting into heat.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot them all!

"Copy that!"

"Rikai!

Along with Cairon's economical decree, me, Rants, Gort and Boyd stick the crossbow out into the gap one after the other and start firing.

If I shoot him, Boyd helps me and Rants pull strings, and he guns down Tai Ya one after the other at every speed he can.

The demons get confused and try to hit our projectiles, but they don't arrive because they're so tall. Huge wolves and lions can't make very big vertical moves, even if they're handsome on the side.

We kill demons as far as we can see in the meantime. Thanks to the magic that Mr. Deane preempted, you can aim all you want in the eyes and mouth of a distant demon.

"Hiu. But squishy, this."

Says Cairon in a fun way as he fires one breath sealing stone after another with a brace shooter.

"It's so refreshing."

Cairon flames a few demons at a time, though he says. You're more right that the demons are gathering to snipe the moment they harden and, no, be sucked to where Cairon was after.

It efficiently puts in a small "breath sealing stone" in its original range of effects. This is a craftsman that Rants can't even snipe at each other. I don't know anyone else who can.

Cairon is the guy who can do this bullshit when he's here.

And Cairon's high tension means that's all the more difficult fighting.

The more difficult the phase, the more vigorous this bullshit man gets the more difficult he tries to imitate, this is what Crossbow's ancient ginseng calls it with respect and affection.

"I'm counting on you, 'Firefield Thief'!

"Don't call me by my weird fucking name!

... It's a nickname for "the idiotic power of the fire," meaning "just take the delicious part," but he doesn't like it in person.

The number of demons has decreased visibly from around Catalina as the "Stand by Tonight" defense force is flashing.

No matter how much, Mr. Deane, the avant-garde and we, the rear guards, are all fully operational. Temporarily though, a blank zone of demons was being created.

"All right, let me help you with a little scratch.... -------!

Irina activates "Viper's Eye" from the Archer Range, paralyzing tons of hard wolves to help us.

"We'll help you too."

"I'm better at this than I am at swords and spears."

Tess and Naris, carrying bows, show up and raise the density of the arrows.

And by the time Cairon's sealed stone bullet was exhausted, Luna came to preach.

"Andy...... Smythson Ten Chief! Aurora, the ten chiefs are calling!

"Okay!

Andy, as I was about to say, it's an assignment, so I reply to Luna, who said it again, and I put the crossbow down.

"What is it?"

"Just the ten Smythson chiefs......?

I'm not sure. Approximately two red arms on my face, Cairon and Rants thumb up and send me out "go fast".

I slapped my left chest with a slightly broken motion and ran out.

In the throwing mouth where Mr. Deane and the others jumped earlier, Angelos, who should have come down once, was sitting on his back with a tired face.

I thought it should be too tight height to climb in the jump...... Maia was dragonizing downstairs. Apparently, Maia had it lifted.

Aurora and Naia were rambling downstairs instead.

"What do you want me to do?

"... in the meantime, it's time to take off, so get on Maia."

"Okay."

I hear a message from Angelos, face out the throwing door and call Maia...... before, I'll stroke Angelos' head.

"Tired."

"... hehe, I expect a reward, 'Master'"

"If I had a chance."

I said cute things with a cute smile in the wrong place, so kiss me at last.

"Maia!"

Call Maia.

The head of the Blue Dragon immediately came by, so I flew over to that head.

When you go outside, the demonic corpse rolls around you cumulatively. I'm sorry it's a hundred or two. It was almost like a dirt base made of corpses.

"Ho. Oh man. Wolf meat is bad."

Lyla says so boringly on that dirt base.

"Honestly, it doesn't feel good to have a death stench so close. If you have time, I want to get you out of town."

Almeida cuts some kind of mark on the body. Is it a provision or something?

"Well, if these herds come every day... they'll be eaten together tomorrow"

Naia also laughed bitterly as she shook the blood of her sword pippily.

"I'm unfamiliar with fighting demons... I see, if you repeat this a dozen times, you do understand that you are worthy of Ace Knight"

Aurora, who is breathing a little rough.

It's not because she's weak that only one person is tired even though the others seem fine. The rest is bullshit.

"Well, I was going to make sure the 'investigation' was safe... but it didn't occur to me that you got a little quiet"

Mr. Deane says like nothing while stabbing Todome in another hard wolf at the horn of Horndreo around it.

It is clear to everyone that they have created the opportunity to fight like a revelation by applying it to an "investigation".

"Now Maia. Almeida, Naia, bring Aurora up to the city. Then you take off with me and Lyla on it."

"... Dear Andy, okay?

Chibi Maia shows up on my shoulder to confirm. Of course I snort.

Like I said, Maia returns the three of them to the city from their original throwing mouths, and picks up Mr. Deane and Lyla.

And a few steps away from the city, winged and taken off.

Slowly rising into the night sky.

"Identifying the flow of the demons... Was it?

In a chilly late autumn night breeze, I check with Mr. Deane.

"Yes."

… Demon invasion is said to be a phenomenon in which all demons in the northeastern part of the continent, called Demon Territory, simultaneously strike an avalanche towards the south, signaling a seasonal change in the flow of "chi" …

but Renfangas, a bottleneck country that was fully inclined to defend itself, actually never cared how demons would go.

Demons are strongly influenced in their actions by the flow of "chi".

And "chi" is known to make very similar movements to the wind, at least in the atmosphere.

Moving lower than the highlands, it is soothed by the trees of the woods and precipitates in the basins.

Demons rarely occur in mountain ranges and highland areas. He said it was because he didn't feel comfortable and was thin.

Then how about the demons that occur in the low wetlands of Renfangas, in its northern, undulating "demonic territory"?

Is there still land that is less likely to occur, land that is more likely to do so? If we can map that out, humanity's range of entry will widen greatly, and if we can also reveal correlations, we can also read out the valley of the Kingdom of Karwin, which according to Naia had nothing to do with regular demonic encroachments.

"We are only an expedition. I came to Catalina to prioritize this business…"

"What do you mean?

"Ultimately, cleaning up demons and assisting Catalina, exploring, is all about finding Carlwin. If you just ram too honestly, you'll be suspected by other countries. We are... leaving the control of the Elf Territory and the Celesta Command and rumbling with dragons for profit and greed."

"... for one purpose, even though I know."

"I know who you are. But it's also politics to dare pretend you don't know and suspect and cut in if that makes a profit. In order to protect our interests, we can also put aside a pre-construction that will bounce back the suspicion. Sometimes it's politically important to come out with excuses, even if you can see them, like the Sword Saints ahead"

"... meh, that's a pain in the ass..."

"What, in order not to be disturbed, I seriously have to just pretend sometimes that I work first and foremost... I want to complete the primary investigation for the report....... but you should fly this far by now"

Mr. Deane looks back on Maia's back.

Lyla put on an arm and nodded invincibly.

"Ho ho. Well, I've never known how to take care of a man's world... Deane, but I know you're greedy."

"I don't want to miss the opportunity. When the best situation samples are available and when everyone will feel the power of the Dragon."

"Uhm.... then you know what to do, Lord Owner, Maia?

"... er?

... subtly hard to understand, huh?

"Blue Dragon's" Ravaged Attack on Demons "is what the Catalina people want more than anything else. And we want to fly around the demonic realm in full time now.... So now that you're moderately away from Catalina, the best way to do it would be to split hands?

"... eh, I mean...?

"It's a shunt here. What, I'll be back in a day or two"

Mr. Deane and Lyla nod, two from Maia's back, and jump.

Once they jumped high, they fell straight behind Maia...... and soon a phantom shock rocked their brains and a big black dragon appeared once under Maia's diagonal.

"On your way home, you should appropriately scatter demons around as far as you can see from Catalina"

"Please."

"Yes!

Mr. Deane replaces Lila's horn like a skilled dragon knight and walks away from Maia.

Maia and I are left with two, no one and one head.

"... then"

"... rambling?

"Do you?"

♪

Swirl. Turn wide and 180 degrees. To Catalina.

"Just a little, happy"

"Why?"

Chibimaia smiled over her shoulder.

"It was a small dream to put a dragon rider on like this and ramble like a legend"

"... well"

I see Catalina.

I see a bunch of demons trying to get closer to Catalina again in the eyes where Mr. Deane's magical effects remain.

"Ok.... Maia, kick it!!

"Ugh!!

Maia sings with a tall voice.

And with a blizzard brace, I turned the whole herd into ice cubes.
