High Load Training with the Cursed Devil's Sword!? - The Masked Adventurer Who Should Not Be Known - [Web Version]
[Episode 97: Are you there...?
The morning after the raid.
Even so, the sun hasn't dawned yet, but should it be good to have been able to have a morning without anything anyway?
I was just having a morning that I couldn't say was very clear because of the raid and the letters from its raiders.
"You can't not not go to a labyrinth city. Let's go while we're on maximum alert."
Just because we were raided and threatened, we can't turn back here, and yesterday, because we were destroyed by a carriage, it would also be a depressing cause to have to walk to the labyrinth city.
It was about half a day by carriage, but because of the foot, it was a departure from before dawn.
However, I would be fortunate to be able to gather as much supplies and so on as I needed in the carriage as I could during last night and store them in the Uina item box, so I'm likely to proceed as planned except by means of transportation.
"Come on! Don't make me look dark forever, okay? Cheer up!"
"Right! Then I'll treat you to a special dish for lunch today!
Yuina bought some large boxes in the Wang capital, and with this number of people, she has enough food to afford for ten days, as well as everything she can make.
Perhaps to say a lunch treat today is going to sift from there to everyone.
... and I accidentally swallowed my spit imaginatively...
"Well, let's just line up for the raid and head out with utmost vigilance"
And I put it well, except for Zarido, the platoon captain, who all seemed sorry and weak reply.
"I'm sorry, Lord Tris. We were all supposed to protect the escort, but we were in the opposite situation, so we're depressed."
"No. Though the injury could have been cured magically, even if you could just get to the labyrinth city like this, I'd appreciate it. Shall we leave then?"
Thus, when the light began to shine thinly in the sky, we followed the town of Inn.
It was when I kept walking down the street towards the labyrinth city and the light of day finally began to illuminate the scenery around me.
"There's something..."
Macy shrugged pompously.
And a little late, too, Yuina.
"Somebody's here... I can feel magic coming from the woods on the side of the street"
and affirm it.
If I could turn my back on killing, I'd soon notice, but I wasn't good at exploring these signs of ambush.
Well, but if you two are going to say it, I'm sure.
"It'd be better if you showed up early like this rather than walking on guard all the time"
"Oh? I'm starting to say Tris, too!
"Don't make fun of me. More than that, Yuina... are you okay?
The demon opponent doesn't seem to hesitate anymore, but Yuina said she was a human being and there still seemed to be some confusion, just in case I asked.
"Ugh, yeah. To be honest with you. I still have resistance to fighting the humans, because I've decided not to get lost anymore!
Its eyes filled with determination made me feel the strong will that I had occasionally shown in the tough battles I had ever fought.
So if I could have these eyes, I decided that Yuina would be fine now.
"Okay. So, you want me to put on a mask from the start and welcome you out of hand?
"Yeah! Well, I'll go boost ~!"
I slowed down a little, but I didn't stop, so it looks like they're still looking for a way out over there.
So I decided to put a mask on all three of them in that gap and greet them in serious mode.
Removing the mask from the magic bag and putting it on his face was almost simultaneous with the magic of Yuina.
And... the almighty will rule my body...
I try to control myself as much as possible and not to break my nature, full of power and magic overflowing.
I couldn't do that at first, but now, I can spend quite naturally in boost condition.
And this time, Yuina and Macy wear masks too.
... or... to Macy, I equipped the entire body with plate mail from the magic bags I planted everywhere, but it was a mask designed to be embedded in the helmet on its head for some reason.
"Hey Macy... Is that a mask...?
I don't care, with a full plate helmet, I can't see my face......
"Of course not! Put this on, or you'll be a masked adventurer!
"Oh well. Then we have no choice..."
I don't think this is "no choice" either, but I've stopped telling you that in this pressing situation right now...
"That's right. Tris-kun. Plus, I changed my magic because of you... I've empowered you, so it's a waste of time if you don't use it!
Now I think I heard a demonic modification or something, but let's not flush this too......
And exactly, if Macy suddenly became a full plate and appeared a demon ball donger, there was no way the enemy would have noticed either.
"Well... then, Mr. Zarido, let us handle this one. I'll pay you back what I owe you."
"Wow, okay... but that's amazing... I was listening to you beforehand and for a moment I didn't know who Lord Tris was and I felt the invisible strength at the bottom of it and I felt terrified..."
The effect of the curse doesn't work on me myself, so I'm not sure what that feels like, but Zarido said so and was shaking his head gently.
And... the enemy finally showed up out of the woods, just as the three of us came forward.
"I've been waiting. Let me thank you for yesterday... get ready!!"
