"Is there a schedule after this?"

Jin asks on the way back from the 10-level search.

In the end, the sign I just felt was that of the Rainbow Crystal Golem.

After defeating it, I defeated a few more Rainbow Crystal Golems, and it was time to go home.

Exit from the building with the dungeon entrance.

The road leading to the city was lit orange. The time is already in the evening.

Of course I have no plans.

There are no good friends in this city other than the party members, and there are no favorite stores.

Looking back at my current situation, I became sad.

Well, I just trained, so I can't help but have no friends ...?

I feel like I can't be so stupid about Neme and Erin.

For now, let's tell Jin that it's free.

"Okay, so what's wrong?"

"I'm glad. I'm gonna do it after a long time."

My heart suddenly jumps at a sudden offer.

After all, it's been two months. It's strange that you don't look forward to it.

"Yes.

Talk to Neme who was walking in front of me.

Looking back, she looks up, with her eyes closed.

"Why?"

"Is the reason a secret?"

"I see! I want to fight Neme! I'll buy the sold fight!"

Protrude my fist several times at me.

"Notes sink in one pan!"

Her enthusiasm is massive.

Of course, Neme's speculation is quite misguided.

It is troublesome to misunderstand as it is, so let me just say one word.

"No. The reason is fun after I arrive."

"Maybe ... confession ...?"

"……wrong"

Don't make me even more misleading ...

Thus, I, Jin, and Neme came to a vacant lot near an unpopular dungeon.

It is the usual vacant lot where I usually meet with Jin.

Their standing position is the same as usual.

Adults face each other at a distance of about a dozen steps.

The only thing unusual is the presence of neme.

She was hanging between us.

"Why was Neme called?"

"I had you come as a healer when I was injured."

"It was not a confession."

"I guess so ..."

I was still guessing that misguided ...

Jin sings as she looks down at the neck dropping shoulder.

"Does that mean either person is injured?"

"Well so."

"I'm looking forward to it. I'm thinking of you hitting my shot."

He can further dispel his fine eyes.

I think Jin's imagination and the development I envision are quite far apart, but if I misunderstand it, it seems that Jin blows a bubble.

I nodded without denying.

"Neme-nee, she's in the way, and shelter in a place where she won't get caught up in the battle."

"Yes"

Nekemi rushes to the edge of the vacant lot when he is in the middle.

When I saw her off, she pulled out the dagger that had been on her waist and was ready.

Jin also leans forward according to this movement.

Despite not pulling out his weapon, he is ready for war.

If you take care of his opponent now, you will be able to close the distance in an instant and the game will never end.

Absolutely can't be careless. And I don't mean to.

Similarly, he leans forward and concentrates on each move of the assassin facing each other.

If you don't miss the moment when Jin begins to move |

There is no sign of him starting in front of him.

Perhaps you are on alert.

For a gin-level assassin, I'm inherently a person who doesn't deserve vigilance.

However, due to changes in the search for enemies in the morning and the situation of calling the game, I am quite vigilant about this.

Do you think I have something to do?

Of course, we don't have any tricks to beat Jin, and he's a wasteful mind.

This time I will go through the front.

Exhale and loosen your hand holding the dagger a little.

A small, very small signal that makes Jin feel relaxed.

It's a small signal that you must be a person so used to fighting as he is.

But gin surely notices and pokes there.

Maybe you can see my action as a feint.

But he works.

Even if I knew it was a feint, my ability to compete with Jin wasn't as strong as a safety margin.

So I was convinced that Jin would move.

―― Fake / Zeikage.

"-Zekage

My vision is darkened.

I jumped back beyond the speed at which the retina understood my surroundings.

Gin's right hand released from the neck squats and avoids.

Even if you can't see it. For me now. If it is my << search enemy >> sharpened in the extreme state at 20 levels.

-You can see Jin's attack.

The movement of the black shadow reflected in my mind can be seen, though only slightly, by the fluctuation.

Probably upset. I'm surprised.

That doesn't mean that Jin's movement slows down.

Perhaps he was able to shake his sway immediately, and as usual, a sharper attack came.

Foot skills. feint. Others.

I just avoid it.

The search for the enemies of the target can be read by << Enemy >>, so the timing of the attack can be accurately grasped.

Feint is not scary. What you should fear is your foot skills.

For the time being, take an excessive distance and escape from the range of foot skills.

As soon as Jin knows he can't kill me with those attacks, she brings out a jet-black dagger.

It is likely that he will shift to a fighting style that uses his skill of [shape change and minerals].

That is bad.

His dagger is difficult to measure due to its elasticity.

The line of attack is difficult to read because the blade can be manipulated endlessly.

It is not an exaggeration to say that close combat killing is an exaggeration.

Can you avoid that? Regardless of the anxiety in your heart, a merciless piercing will fly.

It is released at the face many times.

Die if you hit that. Really.

It's fun. be killed.

It was a mistake to bring him.

He took him to heal the reaction of Fake and Shadow that appeared after the battle, but now Jin uses the situation to attack without any regret, because there is a recovery magic of Neme. ing.

A thrust into the pigeon tail as if aiming.

Twist your body and avoid the point of your sword, even though you were a dagger a while ago.

This time, the black sword bends at a right angle and attacks the instep with a stab.

With Withdraw, the player flips his left foot as if to flip, avoiding the pursuit of black.

Activate 2 steps, 3 steps and Withdraw in succession to keep the distance.

As the name suggests, Jin's skill, Shape Change Minerals, allows you to freely manipulate the shape of the mineral you are touching.

There is no limit to the shape that can change, but it cannot change mass and volume.

The longer the blade, the thinner and more brittle the cutting edge.

If you stretch it too much, you'll end up with the ability to easily break by hand, even if you're weak.

Jin also decides that it is difficult to pursue with only the sword at hand, or he narrows the distance with Shrinking Land.

I want to avoid getting close, but there is no way to attack Jin when I get too far.

First of all, I don't remember attacking arts. I don't think he can beat Jin in close combat.

The winning line never comes to mind.

Still you lose if you do not move your body. So you have to keep moving.

All I have to do is wait for the chance that my bad attack will hit Jin.

Now she can avoid Jin's attack and endure it.

--eh?

Suddenly, the right foot is strongly pulled.

I was surprised by the force that suddenly worked and lost my position and was slammed backwards against the ground without being passive.

――Tsu

Strike your head and back.

The shock strikes the lungs and breathes out. The sound of ribs squeaks.

The sky that spreads in front of you is the sky dyed at sunset.

Clouds darkened by shadow are floating above.

When I realized I was lying on my back.

No, is it better to have been defeated?

-What happened?

It was doubtful that it came before the pain.

"I win."

Jin calls out while looking down.

I ignored my gaze, raised my upper body and moved my eyes to my right foot.

A black string is wrapped around the ankle. A shiny, slack string with no tension.

The end of the string extends into the left hem of the gin's pants.

"... what?"

A situation that doesn't make sense.

He looked at Jin's face and smiled. His hands are waving.

As expected, a black dagger is on the right.

The texture of the dagger is similar to the string wrapped around the right foot.

"... What the hell is that?"

"Anything is anything│"

Jin turned the left hem of his pants.

The string that wrapped around my right foot led to the ankle band on Jin's left foot.

"This is an ankle band made of metal, so you can manipulate it this way."

The black string wrapped around his right foot was unwound and began to undulate.

It is moving like a plant monster.

"Isn't it sly ...?"

I knew that Dagger could handle it, but she could handle not only her hands but also the metal that touches her body. Too strong skill ...

When I was briefed on my skills, I was only saying that I could manipulate the shape of the substance made of minerals, and I was only sick of paying attention to the daggers at hand, but still a sly hand.

"Well, that's what I say, but most people who are new to it get caught up in this.

The black string extending from the ankle became sword-shaped and cut the weeds that grew from the ground. "It's possible to attack like this."

"Do you wear it on your right foot?"

"Of course. I also put my arms and waist in."

That's a foul. I can't win.

"Is it too strong, is that skill?"

"That's not true. This trick can be used in close combat with other people, but it doesn't make sense for fighting a long distance opponent. It's inconvenient to not be given a valid hit. ''

"Even so, I find it convenient."

For those who don't have combat skills, it's enviable to use Jin's skills to fight.

Even though Jin's fighting ability is far from me, there is a huge difference in skills.

Now that I know Jin's deep hand, I can't imagine the sight of rewarding him with help.

Even more so, Jin. It's no wonder that you hide one or two more hands behind you.

"Than that, Neme unnie. Can you give me a recovery spell?"

The joints and muscle fibers scream with pain as a result of the false reaction.

I thought it would be fine if it was activated for a short time, but apparently it was not.

This art is powerful.

Therefore, the untrained body is overloaded.

As a result, as soon as you release the arts, you will not be able to move with pain.

At this rate, it would be difficult to cast Fake and Shadows alone.

If you use it for a long time, you will not be able to move as in the case of the 20th level and you will lose your mind.

That chance is fatal during combat.

It doesn't go as well as gin.

"Well ... yes!"

Neme makes her shoulders jump, as if she didn't expect to be able to call her.

After that, Neme shook the staff, saying, "Eh!"

Immediately my body is wrapped in blue-green light.

"Are you injured anywhere?"

Jin is asked to confirm that the pain in his body has subsided.

"I guess he was hurt by the recoil of the arts rather than injury ..."

"I see. Yes, I was very surprised. No note was able to use Zetsukage."

"It's slower than Jin-san's Zetsukage, and the reaction after it's triggered is big, so it's still unfinished."

"That's not the case. If you can do it this far, it's a little more. If you practice more and more, you will improve immediately. It may be faster than me."

"It won't be ..."

"I do not think so?"

Jin lost his dagger and reached out.

I stand up with his hands.

"That's how it looks like it would be good to tell Note to attack art soon."

"Attack Arts ..."

My heart gets hot with those words.

At last. Has it finally been acknowledged and reached that stage?

It has been almost a year since I arrived at Arrivers.

The first thing that was said at the party was to wear support arts, such as Search Enemies and Trap Detection.

However, from that time on, I felt the desire to learn attacking arts.

That wish finally comes true.

Adventurer's flower shape. The core technology of battle.

That is the attack arts.

No matter how much other arts improve, if you can't attack arts you won't be a full-fledged adventurer.

You have finally gained the right to become a full-fledged adventurer from a half-adventure adventurer.

I know I'm not satisfied with that alone, but I'm glad that I'm happy.

"Thank you! Thank you, Jin!"

"Well, it's not me that teaches me ..."

"eh⁉"

I am surprised at unexpected words and raise my voice.

Jin opened his mouth to supplement the missing words.

"Oh, Noto's combat profession (battle style) is a thief. I want him to remember the attacking art of the thief, the true profession, rather than the attacking art of an assassin like me. The arts that can be used because they are lines are similar, but there are differences here and there. ''

"Does that mean you're taught by someone other than Jin?-Not from assassins, but from bandits."

"That's it. I'm talking to a famous bandit in this city, so don't worry about finding a master."

"Who, who is that person? Who do I know?"

"I'm a girl named Reese. You know? She's a bandit in Valkyrie, a revenge war maiden."

"Do you know, Neme unnie?"

"Of course I know!" Valkyrie is a famous party! "

I know the party name, but I didn't really know who was at the party.

It's been a while since I came to the city of Purif, but I don't know much about rumors or the situation in this city.

I was all I could about myself.

You couldn't afford to look around.

"Do you know who you are?"

"I don't know because I haven't met and talked! Neme is a bit weak for people who have never met her!"

It is not good to talk with a grin while making a goo with your right hand.

Speaking of which I forgot ... Neme is shy ...

"I'm safe because I'm not a weird person. At least I'm more common sense than the members of 'Arrives'."

"So that's it--"

When I turned my eyes to the game that ranked high in the eccentric rankings in "Arrives (Arrivers)", my eyes were accidentally met.

"Why are you looking here?"

"It's nothing"

It doesn't look like nothing ...

I'm not strange ...?

At least I'm confident that I'm not a weird person than Neme ...

"Well, Jin is safe if she says that. If she wants her greed, she wanted to teach herself."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not specializing in bandits art, and I think Reese can teach better."

"Ok, so why don't you learn the assassin art? I have the same image of both bandits and assassin art ..."

"The assassin art is a technique for killing people in the first place. It is often not suitable for fighting monsters. The conditions under which a combat profession (battle style) can improve are slightly different, especially as the assassin art is more likely to improve in situations where people are killed or killed by humans, so compared to bandits art. It's hard to train. ''

"But Jin isn't good at assassin art. Isn't that an exception?"

"There may be exceptions, but unfortunately, I am not the exception."

Words given without thought are immediately denied.

Jin's tone does not seem to be a joke at all, with no smile.

In the first place, Jin is not a joke type.

"That's it ..."

Despite me being surprised and embarrassed, Jin kept on quietly.

"I'm the most assassin because I've killed people more than anyone else. I'm not as good as you think. Isn't it? "

I can't find the answer to Jin's words, I can just silence him.

I can't imagine Jin killing people and that's not what I know.

The only gin I know is kind, and it's the only jin in Reliable People (Arrivers).

At this moment, I realized that I didn't know anything about the party members.

Not just gin. Force, Neme, Rosria.

I can't answer what members other than Erin were doing before coming to this party and how they got to the city.

That fact made me feel surprised and a bit lonely.
