I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
149 Stories Battle on the Border of the Empire
Nothing happened for a while after I left the village. Although there is a somewhat demonic reaction, none of it is enough to stop moving and hunt.
"No more demons than I thought."
"The Alliance and the Empire will know what's going on, and I wonder if that means we're about to take measures?
Ellie is right. There's no way the demons have broken in in in large numbers and left them alone.
It is unexpected that demons had entered near the kingdom border, and perhaps there is no more danger of demons.
I wish I could stop by some guild to find out more about the situation, but on the current border route I wouldn't stop in a town like the one where the Adventurer guild is, and I don't want to be too close to the public sector because I snuck into the empire.
Nor does it seem that there are any particular penalties for clandestine immigration between kingdoms and empires, but it would be troublesome if asked why they took such a route.
I'm not in that much trouble, but it's not enough to sacrifice Will.
"Why don't you just raise your alert level?
I want to earn my experience.
"You won't change your policy that soon. Anyway, if it's an oak, it's everywhere."
Well, it's a priority to travel this time, and you can earn experience sending out Francesca and then do it slowly, but thanks to his spare time and extra strength, the avant-garde unit started beefing up his training.
I'm the one who put Will on Francesca, but I was caught by it, and so was Syrah and Satie.
The development of Will and Syrah is urgent, and you should naturally do your training. If you can combine hunting and training, there's no reason to stop it, but I don't want you to get me involved.
"It's Masaru's turn next."
Francesca, who had lightly finished working with Satti, mentioned that.
You don't mind if they tell you what to do, do you?
I worked in the morning on a sleepless day, and on the road, I have a job to detect enemies. And I don't know what's going to happen, so I want to leave enough room. I already waved my sword lightly at Satti and Syrah's opponents, and even Francesca's opponents are too much trouble.
"If it's light, you can deal with them..."
The arrangement between Satti and Francesca was very unlikely to be light, even if both sides were adding or subtracting.
"I really want to see Masaru."
"Are you serious about magic?
"Yes."
If I shoot magic for real, I'll lightly erase human beings. That's not what I can use.
"Didn't you even hunt for the break earlier? Do you have enough strength?
That's because there was a meadow where there seemed to be a lot of wild rabbits. I just ran out of rabbit meat in Wang Du, and hunting wild rabbits is a good stress relief.
"The next fly is the end of today's itinerary. Why don't we just deal with him?"
Everyone's going to be interested in fighting me and Francesca, too. I'm really just going to finish my wild rabbit hunt today, and I'm bored.
"You don't know if you're hurt, do you?
Well, I thought eventually. Let's get you a revenge on the tournament.
"That's our line."
"When you get a blow in, by the rules of the end. Can we get the golem out of here first?
"I don't mind."
All right, you win.
Serve a five-meter golem. If it's three meters, it's going to be destroyed soon. Let him hold the biggest shield in his hand, and the weapon... cut down a nearby tree to make it an affordable size round too. If I hit him with a stone weapon, he's going to die.
Francesca has no particular complaints and looks at my preparations. Well, no matter how big it is, the golem is just power, and it's not hard to deal with. It's a golem attack of this size though. I'm sorry if I hit you for free, but I just have to trust Francesca there. Francesca is not weak enough for this one to get out of hand.
"Anytime."
Shall I let you go from here?
Put the golem forward and wave the round too. Naturally, Francesca came to me. But if you leave the golem and play my opponent, the golem will be free.
Golem has to deal with me at the same time, more than he can kill me instantly. There is only power. The golem wields the round-tails. I just get a blow and it's over.
Looks like Francesca decided to deal with him from the Golem once.
I'll try the chase, but it's just quick. The Golem moves in between me and Golem while they attack me. I'm not going to use it now, but the magic attack is also difficult with the golem in the way.
Again, interpersonal battles are tough at Golem speed.
I try to keep my distance and concentrate on the operation of the golem, but they got nostalgic and destroyed my hand holding the marutai. Now we're out of weapons, but that's also to be expected.
"Extra."
You can't stop the destruction of the golem and my chanting at the same time. Francesca, who sensed the magic, came towards me through the side of the first golem, but produced three five-meter golems at once, so as to block it between them.
I guess it would be quick to get every golem involved with direct attack magic, but that's a last resort.
"Don't lick me, this stuff!
Well, which one of you is licking it?
Three five-meter golems are also precisely damaged when they become Francesca classes, and collapse in less time than they should. The extra golem has no weapons, no shields, and because it's just big and cursory, even the three bodies can't work together a lot and are easily destroyed each one.
I wish I had at least a little more strength.
The first one I put out and two extra bodies were destroyed, the rest as one. But of course that's not the end of it.
Two more 10m size golems.
Now I don't even have a bare look at trying to stop it. Well, sure, a couple of them are going to come out, but in the Golem, Francesca's not going to be able to defeat them.
While Francesca was dealing with the last of the three golems, she crouched down two giant golems, dug up the soil with both hands, and threw it at Francesca. Where massive amounts of soil have broken out and vision has gone bad, the giant golem has been appropriately plunged...
I erased the signs and snuck up, poking my sword at Francesca.
You're turning too much consciousness to the Golem. From the beginning, the Golem has been a golem.
"Yes, I'm done."
Good things went according to the operation. If Francesca had just ignored the Golem and devoted herself to defeating me, it could have been quite a death fight. Then it would have been difficult to come up with an addition.
When it did, it did. So, I was thinking about another operation.
Francesca was soiled and grumpy, but soon complained.
"Also, one more time! Demand a redo!
"The break is over."
"We'll have plenty of time today, won't we?
That's only about noon and I plan to be free all afternoon, but I don't want to do it again and again. Win and run.
"Let's stop it"
I've had enough today just because I found out it works for Francesca.
I'd also like to think about running the golem for a moment. Weaponry would also be effective if it were a miscellaneous fish, but a shield would have worked better if it was Francesca's opponent. I might as well hold two shields and spike shield or something.
"Now we win, we lose! The settlement hasn't..."
"Wait. Be a little quiet, please."
"What...?
"Shit."
Still pushed Francesca to recruit. Sati looks serious and is moving her ears tingly. I try to use auditory detection too, but all I hear is everyone's breath and bugs and birdy squeals.
"I hear a bell from over there. It's like an emergency bell."
When my hearing detection doesn't capture you, it's pretty far away.
"Gather around. Let's hurry!
Flying in the direction indicated by Satti, a village in the mountains was being raided by oaks.
If you approach me from the sky, the oak will have to... 100 or more. The oak is already attached to the outer wall of the village. The villagers are also responding and the breakthrough doesn't seem to have been made yet, but there doesn't seem to be a respite for time.
"Let's get down close. Lilia, as soon as you get down, hit the middle of the group."
Lilia started chanting at my behest.
"At the same time as Lilia's attack, we begin our own annihilation. Don't use too much magic."
Oak can destroy the village if it is a powerful attack because it has the village on its back.
At the same time as the landing, Lilia released Windstorm.
Many of the oaks were attached to the walls while they were scattered, and only about 20% or 30% of them could be defeated by the first blow. But the ambush confused the oak enough.
This was followed by an attack with magic and Sati's bow.
Put out a five-meter size golem and keep out a box full of bows and arrows. But the enemy is close. I don't seem to have time to change swords and bows.
"The avant-garde stands by. Don't leave before the Golem."
Well, the magic will fly like it did before, and you won't be able to move. I keep it aside from the magic group and make it big.
Soil magic makes defensive positions seem... unnecessary.
The village is surrounded by agricultural land with nothing to block it from. The outside walls of the village are sandwiched with us, and we can't escape or hide from the overwhelming firepower.
Satti's attached to the village wall. He's taking it down for the oak.
There was also a response with a bow from the village, and as I looked around, the oak decreased, and an arrowhead, the oak king, appeared that I thought would end like this or something. He was probably at the wall. The magic attack caused poor vision and delayed discovery. Or did they shield the magically defeated mutton oak well and pack the distance all at once?
Anyway, when I noticed, Oak King was blasting towards us.
Shit, we're a little close. Someone's magic hit him once, but he also wears armor and doesn't have to be about level 1 magic.
Francesca stepped forward and set up her sword.
I'll take care of him.
Before Francesca finished saying it, Satti's unleashed arrow hit Oak King's foot and the movement was dull. Then the next arrow hit between the eyebrows. Still leaning toward pulling out the arrow that did not fall and stab him, but his leg stopped completely.
Satti switched quickly to the bow of the Giant Killer, releasing an arrow in a flowing motion. Dedicated total iron heavy arrows penetrated Oak King's metal armor chest deeply.
Another shot. So how did the oak king finally fall?
At about the same time, all the orcs had been wiped out. Apparently it's over? There doesn't seem to be any orcs moving within sight.
"Well done, Satie"
It was a good decision not to leave it to Francesca.
"Yes. Um... I'm sorry, Master Francesca"
But that's just how Satti seems to be a bit of a bum, too, and he's apologizing to Francesca, who's flat out.
"No, I'm good now. I don't care if you're approached. Even if Satie hadn't done it, I'd have done it magically."
I don't even think Francesca will be late, but Oak King is horrible.
"Yeah, it doesn't extend to an apology"
Francesca didn't seem to be in a bad mood just now, and accepted the apology lightly.
"But an A-rank party is awesome."
"Because the village was close today. Seriously, it's not like this, is it?
If we had more distance from the village, we would have magically wiped it out all at once. Or was he ticking at the avant-garde subject with the village on his back?
"Then this party is going to be a pinch..."
"Let's not start."
You were quick to notice. I was wondering if I could deceive you a little longer.
I don't mind letting him out a while ago unless he's covered for escort, but there's nothing I can do about all this. Francesca can't be as active as she wants, and there's trouble with it.
"It's best to be safe. I'll clean it up if we don't talk about it forever."
Put the golem back in the dirt and fill the hole. The place where we got off was the road leading to the village, but the oak broke out on the farmland without a problem, and it seemed terrible combined with the attack magic.
"We'll see what's going on in the village," Ann said.
Satti took Schiller to do a test for the defeated oak. If there is breath, stab the stop and retrieve the arrows that might be used.
"I'm staying here, too, Will. I need a villager."
With Will, Francesca and Tirica also followed Ann.
I collect the body of the oak, and then I fix the wall. Did Oak King do it, some of the exterior walls have collapsed, and the villagers are peeking into his face from there. Seemed pretty remarkable.
The villagers seemed stunned without catching up with the change of circumstances, but opened the gate hastily as Ann approached the gate and smiled and waved.
I could split it with Ellie and retrieve some oak, so I'll go check on the broken wall. In front of the wall, the villagers seem to gather to discuss what to do.
"It's easy to fix, Mr. Adventurer"
Even the oak has destroyed enough walls to pass slowly, but it can be repaired as soon as the stones are reloaded only in one place. I certainly don't have to help.
But even if we fix it as it is, the demons may come and destroy it again.
From what I've seen, the walls aren't that thin. It is probably standard for the outside walls of the village and is strong enough and tall enough to protect itself from normal demons.
Oak King destroyed it.
I'm sure you should strengthen the walls, but if you take all the exterior walls of the village, it will be a big undertaking that will take months even for the villagers to come out.
"I see. Actually, I'm good at dirt magic, aren't I? Can I help you a little, if you don't mind?
I was just going to fix the broken part, but I have plenty of magic.
"Well, thank you..."
"Let's see how it goes for now"
Go up to the sky and check out the panoramic view of the village. As for getting Ellie to share some...
Go down outside the wall and activate soil magic. Outside the original wall, they built walls as tall and thick as they stick together. For the amount of soil used, the moat can be done at the same time.
The amount of soil can save you magic in half, and the shape is simple, so you can make it all at once.
"How about this?
Still thinner and less tall than our village, but when it comes to making more than this, getting Ellie to help might not be enough magic for a day. But if we match the moat's share, we'll have a lot more defense.
"Ooh, if it's this thick, it's on that oak too"
"Then let's make it with this. No, I don't want the money. It's free, free."
But even though the wall itself was well received, as soon as I said it was free, I was told to nod to the villagers - a look on my face.
"No, but... after you help me, you even make walls like this..."
You don't trust me with anything. Although it is certainly too convenient to talk about as much as nagging. Because you're an adventurer?
"Look, there was a cleric in the village earlier, right? That's why our party is helping. It's part of the temple's service."
Why do I have to explain this to you? I'd like to sneak up on you and take your money, but I don't know when I'll be able to work on it when I start negotiating prices, and I don't know the market in the first place.
"He said it's okay. I'll never tell you what to pay me later."
Ellie and the others came to see what was going on just to convince the villagers.
"Are you building walls again?
Ellie just did it this morning.
"Yes. I make all this around the village, what's the magic like?
"I'm almost recovered already... all this?
"Yes, all"
"That's... no, that's okay. This must also be your job as a brave man. I'll help."
"No, no, it's just people help. Temple service, isn't it?
"Really?
Isn't it a little too much service to do just about everything?
But I don't have as much effort, and I can't afford to have poor walls. I'm being hit by an oak right now, and I don't like it too much if I leave without doing anything and it was doomed some years later or something.
If that's what you think, I wish Ellie wouldn't have let me help you with the village walls in the morning.
"Fine. Let's do it. I'll do it from here."
Well, I can't help but care less. Let's do this from what we can.
Wall building didn't take an hour.
I think I'm going to get some rest today.
