- Bandit Perspective

As soon as it was time to start the operation, we felt the whole city covered in sacred air.

"Brother."

"Oh, I know. Here we go."

In preparation for the unexpected, we were on guard in a central town full of people in advance. Anyway, if you're a demon who goes out on the king's side and kills hostages, if you're a demon who only has enough power to disrupt the city, I thought it would be best to break out in a crowded place. That prediction, which I don't want you to hit as hard as possible, has quickly centered on unfortunate things. Because there were so many of them who suddenly turned themselves into aliens in front of us.

"You're the demons, aren't you? You miserable bastard! Don't think I'll do it for free!

When I yelled like that, people around me who didn't understand something seemed to notice the existence of the Demon Clan. And when he screams, he rushes away. It was scattered about knocking down outdoor stores, crashing luggage in your hands, and even more secondary damage to fallen humans, but you seem to have succeeded in getting irrelevant humans off the scene anyway.

"... I feel like there's a lot of damage in order to get him away"

"Don't worry about the details! More than that, I'm now the Devil's opponent!

Leaving aside the fine scratches from my sisters, I pulled out my sword and confronted the Demons. I don't suppose they have any idea how to ignore me and attack the people around them. If you do that, you'll just slash them from behind.

The number of enemies is less than ten, but in number, there is a faint laugh on their faces in order to more than double ours. I guess we're sure of our victory.... I need to do it again from that perception first.

"You've got a big human adventurer flair! You can't lose one-on-one between demons and humans, but how are you going to mask this difference in numbers?

"Are you expecting reinforcements for a moment? If that's the case, that's a mistake! The three of you won't last us a minute!

"With regret for my divergence -"

The demons were calling out to me, but I didn't respond to any of those voices, and I stepped in at once and slashed the talking demons under one sword.

"Become!?

"Ha, fast!

"You guys are late!

I'm not the only one who started to move. At the same time I was jumping, my sisters were moving and slamming each weapon on the nearest demon clan. The demons seem surprised that a few people were defeated in an instant, but we were just as surprised inside. The strength of the demon clan I heard about was vicious itself, and I didn't think I could take down such clams, so I can say I clapped it out. This either made us stronger, or they weren't stronger than they thought. Either way, there's no change in what we do. Before there's any other damage, just don't miss a single one and kill them.

"Then, stupid......!

Has the Demons come here to finally understand the difference in strength, already fleeing? But I won't let you get away with it. That's why we've come all the way to Strom Kingdom.

"Ha!"

Gather magic all over your body with temper. I can't tell you too much. My magic flooded out of my body for a moment like a flame burned, but I immediately held it back into my body. Magic operations in preparation for a long war while reducing wasted magic consumption. After all I've been through in the fight against Behemoth, I've come to the conclusion that what I need now is more self-reliance to keep fighting at a higher level than explosive aggression. So lacking in flashfulness, but strength should be higher than before. There was no reason for me to deal with a few demons now.

"Bye!"

"Ugh!

That is not what can be called a battle, it would be more appropriate to say a ravage. Demons falling screaming. I couldn't even match my swords properly, and the demon clan that collapsed all at once fled with us. But we stick our swords on its back mercilessly. I have not figured out what kind of reprisals to make against helpless people if one misses them. Patience was useless.

"Brother, this one's over."

"This one's over. I think the demons have swept the area."

"Good luck. Then leave it to the soldiers who are supposed to be here, and we'll turn to other backup."

There were no very threatening enemies here. But for that matter, there could be strong enemies elsewhere. Soon after we immersed ourselves in the aftermath of victory, we left the scene behind.

The time has come for the operation to begin. Even so, Bacchus and a few others are not the only ones who step inside the mansion, except me, and not as a cohesive force. I was the only one who was going to go into the mansion at first, but the Bacchus and the others have begged me to accompany them, so I'm forced to take a broken form.

"I've told you many times, it would be nice if you just did the rescue of the hostages. Leave it to me to fight."

"I know. I would never pull your leg."

There is no sign that Bacchus and the others will be unscrupulous about the difference in strength from the Demons lurking in the Mansion until I tell them. Is it okay to leave it alone for this minute...... In the worst case scenario, I was prepared to fight while sheltering them, so I was relieved that I could avoid them.

Off their gaze, they look up at the mansion in front of them. Sacred magic covers the whole city, so I could only feel the creepy tranquility from inside, even though this mansion is within its reach without exception.

(Did you give up? Or are you too weak to escape...? Or does it mean that things don't have to panic to this extent? In any case, you shouldn't be alarmed)

My guess at times like this is a hit. At least the demons lurking in the mansion seem to have more power than I thought.

"... let's go"

As Bacchus and the others snorted silently, I flashed the Halvard I had and cut the key to closing the gate. Slip your body into the gap of the gate that opens quietly with a tiny metal noise, chopping apart the entrance door that ran over at once. After confirming that Bacchus and the others had broken in, I jumped up with flying magic and burst through the upstairs window with momentum.
