Master Masaru.

When I returned to the castle wall, Satti rushed over.

"Excuse me. I took a little time to finish the oak. How about this one?

"It's all right around here now. But not yet..."

While that's good, Ellie looks at the West Gate.

"I know. Let's go."

Heavy fighting continues near the West Gate. If we don't hurry, there will be more victims again.

Equip the bow again and proceed through the walls. Some harpies will definitely hold me back if I leave them to Sati. If the numbers are high, Anne or Tirica will unleash magic. Of course I'm on the offense. Ellie is warm for the time being. I need you to leave the gate for me.

Plus more escorts. Even though Lili was royal, it was odd that she flew around the battlefield and left us with that escort. I would have thought so, five were given to commander-like elves near here for now. It's supposed to be an escort, but Master Lili seems willing to give natural instructions and use them as direct reports to combat and preach.

Proceed as you cut and expand the battlefield and climb to the roof of the tower to the left and right of the West Gate. The elves here are temporarily retreating due to Harpy's onslaught. No elves either, so naturally Harpy doesn't come all the way to the deserted tower either.

If you lightly repress the tower, I'll leave the sweep of the harpy flying nearby to check the battlefield. This neighborhood is out of Ellie's magical range of effects, and the ground is as full of enemies as ever. Then Harpy is wavy attacking the walls, and the enemies on the ground are nearly abandoned.

The rooftop of the tower had the corpse of Harpy rolling all over it. I'll behave appropriately in the item box because it's out of the way. Let's sell this later, too.

"Things don't look good."

That's what Ellie, who was watching with me next door, said.

Just as this tower was, some of the walls were being dominated by massive amounts of harpy. As it is, it doesn't have to be drilled, it will be broken through the walls.

"I'll use Meteo."

[Meteo] Start chanting -

Expand the range of effects to annihilate enemies on the ground once and for all. This will eliminate the magic, but it's a contending situation for a moment.

"Meteo!"

Meteo was activated and the battlefield was engulfed with roar and flames.

But although the number of demons has definitely decreased, it has crossed the burning field and new demons continue to march. Range magic several times. I guess the enemy is letting them sprinkle their power assuming that too.

"The decree is now back. It's probably okay to get the dragon out."

That's what Lili told me sitting in a safe place. I'm out of magic for the second time today. Fatigue is tougher than I thought, I'm going to fall asleep.

"Let it out. Okay?"

Tirica asks me that with her neck.

The enemy's offense will be weak and the elves will be calm. Now may not be a bad time.

"All right, let's call it"

Tirica immediately began summoning magic chants in my words. When the chant is complete, a giant brown dragon instantly appears in front of the tower.

"Ko, is this summoning magic..."

Even if you know you're on your side, a colossal dragon of fierce familiarity suddenly appears in front of you. The elves all take a surprise breath and stare only.

Spirit magic feels strange too, but summons is more mysterious than that. Obviously there is a reality, where does the giant dragon come from? Next time, it might be interesting to ask where you usually do it.

"Lord. What an order."

"Ravage."

When Tirica told him all that, he landed, stepped on the demons of the earth, threw up his braces, and shook them away.

The circular seemed to have arrived properly, and there was no attack on either of you from the elves on the wall.

It is just a large species. The demon in front of him gets kicked away, not by the number of things like the orcs and harpies of the miscellaneous fish. Let's get some time out of this mess.

According to Master Lili, the fort should have been informed at the time of the defeat of the Lu Wang Turtle. However, even if rescue comes with it, it takes time to form the army, and then when it comes to moving, it takes a day to form, a day to move. It's the quickest calculation you'll have to endure until tomorrow. Even if rescue is coming. I said no to the rescue once...

The vicinity of the West Gate doesn't seem to worry about breaking through anymore, but the enemy is still persistently attacking. But there is no room on the elf side. The enemy doesn't have as much momentum as it initially did with me or Ellie's range magic, but it boasts an overwhelming number of where it springs from.

"Besides the hole that Masaru blocked, it looks like another place had been breached. I've already blocked you..."

Probably a lot of damage.

The situation is bad, but the war situation could be reset in Meteo. We're almost out of magic, but we still have both of you and we can fight enough. Would you take a breather if the sun went down? Orcs and harpies are blind at night. Harpy in particular should be weak at night.

"Oh, oh!? How dare you!

Tirica, who was sitting with me beside me, suddenly screamed. What!?

Stand up and find who you are. Looks like he was rampaging pretty deep into the enemy. It's hard on your body. Magic Reaction!? Did you eat magic?

Then another shot. With the magic of the second shot, which fell, it vanished forever. Maggie on the enemy's side!?

"Where are you?!?

"It's okay...... but I can't summon you for a while"

They don't like to die where they've taken damage and vanished, but that just means they need time to heal their wounds. Perhaps you can't re-summon for a day.

It's an obvious misoperation. Even if it's huge and strong, it's just one. If you have no cover or anything, it's not hard to knock me down if I'm the enemy. We should have let them fight closer to the walls. Then I might have been able to detect beforehand even if the enemy mage moved, or I could have detected and eliminated the enemy mage in response to the second shot.

But it's too late to regret it. The last trump card is gone, too.

"Let's go back to Fort Garland, Master Lili"

It's tidal time. Me, Anne, and Tirica have little magic left.

Nobody's hurt yet, you'd better get out while you can.

If we can't defend ourselves and we're in a turmoil - think back to the elves that fell so indestructibly just now. Maggie, who lost her magic, is easily ravaged by demons.

The demons still boast an overwhelming number and surround the inside of the elves. The magic and numbers of the elves are slim. Powerful walls are also just high walls without the strength to defend them. I have to judge that there are no more elements to win.

Perhaps I could have done something with at least a little more time.

"Bye, then..."

"No! We can still fight! We're not in this mess or anything!

That's what Ellie claims.

"No more magic"

"I'm recovering, one by one. And Masaru and Satti are still in the bow! I'll fight with my sword if I have to."

I can't do this any more. What happens if you give me another total enemy attack, even though there's no magic? I can't get you out of here. If we stay here any longer, someone will get hurt one day. Someone falls. It's too late for that.

"Where we were without magic, how powerful would we be? Let's go back to the fort once. So wait for the magic to heal."

How hard I or Satie have worked against thousands or thousands of units of enemies is not enough.

"Let's go back to the fort and call for reinforcements. Ellie would have promised Mr. Titos she'd bring Master Lili back safely, too, wouldn't she?

"That's true... but you can always get away with it. Even as we speak like this, magic is recovering, right?

"It's insignificant."

In an hour or so, would a weak Meteo be able to shoot? But the battlefield is vast. One magical shot won't change the battlefield. Even the exterminating magic of Ellie and I are now the biggest has temporarily bought us time.

"The Elf's power is already critical. Take a look. How many people can fight decently? If we fall out here..."

With the exception of us and Master Lili's escort, less than ten elves are on the roof of the tower. Injuries are healing magic, but they're already melting. After we get away with it, I don't really think we can stand Harpy's intensive attacks here. It's not just here. Everywhere is similar. That's why I'm telling you to run away. We'll be here for half an hour, buy some time, so what happens?

I still don't want to die in this place. I don't want you to die as one of my daughters, and I don't want you to get hurt. Is that what you shouldn't think?

"No, it's fine. Your lords have done well. You can't blame anyone for leaving here."

But Master Lili continued.

"The concubine stays. You'll never escape again."

"Dear Lili, this is a temporary retreat. If the elves are good enough, they'll abandon the inside and escape, won't they?

Think calmly, how many elves would survive in such a situation? But we fought sympathetically, and what would change with just a few of us? We're a little more powerful than normal, but we're just adventurers working for money.

Adventurers are supposed to fight for their lives, but there are limits to that too. Running away in desperate circumstances is also a judgment. If you fail to do so, it doesn't mean that you will be blamed at all.

Me and Satie can still fight, but the rest, Maggie, who lost her magic, is just a bunch of legs.

But Anne and Ellie seem dissatisfied with the proposal to withdraw.

If I can't make it through, everyone might agree with me eventually. But Ellie will definitely be grumpy. Will Anne forgive me if I abandon my quest? Don't let this get you hated and lovingly done, you'll be disappointed. Tirica is not sure. You look sad, but which one of you may just be sad to have fallen. Satti will be on my side at all times.

I wonder why we're in such a situation of living or dying. I just found a job in Halois that looked a little well-paid and applied.

I didn't mean to be an adventurer. Why did I choose an adventurer? It would have been nice to have become a blacksmith, not to mention a merchant, even if we needed to improve our fighting power to survive.

Fight the wild rabbit by being exposed to the god of Ito. After that, I think they recommended you join the Adventurer Alliance. It's called the way you guide him so far on the quest, it's all his fault...

You can thank me for meeting everyone because of that, but I don't want to end that here. All the time with everyone...... all the time? Live in this world all the time? Is that all right with you? Show your face and look over at everyone.

Survive by abandoning your daughter-in-law and live back in Japan? You get a lot of money, and it's a safe world. Does that make you happy? Even though there's no Satie, no Anne, no Ellie, no Tirica? No, you can't do that.

"Masal."

After a lot of silence, Ellie called out.

"I know Massal hates the fight. But just a little more. Just a few more fights. Please, Masal."

"Please from me, too. I know Masal is an exotic person and not very faithful. But please, just a little more for me. Fight."

"Massal said he would save the inside. I believed in it. Massal underestimates himself. I believe Masaru can save the inside."

"I'm..."

I don't want to die here. If it's enough to die impotently, I wish I could survive cowardice or whatever. But...

"You could die here, huh?

"Orba protected Nania even if she lost her leg. Compared to then, there's still no such thing."

Ellie has only wandered the training ground many times, and the determination of the danger is loose. But everyone still thinks it's too early to escape.

"Saving the inside... is worth doing even with my life"

It's just one of those quests for me, but is the clergy's trusteeship so heavy for Anne?

I don't want to fight until I've risked my life. I want to be muddy somewhere safe. This would have been a winter vacation in the first place.

"I think we should run while we can, but do we really still do it?

"Absolutely!

"I want to go home and sleep now. I'd love to."

I'll just try to claim that one last time. Given the results so far, you shouldn't be ashamed of anyone where you pulled it up with this.

"You just have to slow down when the fight is over. Look, I'll serve you plenty. Right?"

Maybe Anne found out I was already about to break. I pushed it further.

"Anything?

"Ugh... I'll do anything."

"If Anne says she'll pay for it with her body, you can hang in there a little longer. That's a promise!

I'm sorry to risk my life for quests and elves, but I can risk some for my wife.

"As soon as it's in danger, we'll run away, right?

"It's okay. I don't want you to miss it."

But I think Ellie's standards are pretty much too much...
