The next morning, he left Platonovena for the tower of Sierro.
I can wait backwards and stay alert.But I put my hands on the crossbow trigger to the point where I could count with one hand.
With the help of Master Wentle, I hit him with a powerful blow on the back of the monster who tried to attack him from Julius' blind spot.
"Whoa, whoa! Laura, thank God!"
Julius slashes the powerless monster without hesitation.Then the monster fell and stopped moving.
Phew, wipe the sweat off your forehead.And Julius rushed up to me with a smile.
"Thank you, Laura. Are you okay?"
Yes, I can do it.
Walk alongside Julius.He next door looked up and groaned at the tower of Sierro, which had grown considerably bigger.
It's getting closer.
The number of monsters seems to be increasing, so maybe we're waiting for them.
Lukash rushed in and lined up next to him.Julius dropped his shoulders to the familiar words.
After that, I was attacked several times by monsters, but without calling anyone, I arrived at the entrance to the forest that spreads in front of the tower.Diona, who was leading the way with a map, looks back.
"It looks like we'll get to the tower if we get out of this forest.The forest itself is not so deep, and the road is one way... "
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hee, nodding from nobody, we step into the forest.It was that moment. At our feet, a large magical formation spread out.
Ha!?
Lukash raised his voice. Looking at you, his feet were "gone."
- It's magic. That's all I know.
"Grab the arm of the man nearby!"
Arnold screamed. At the moment, his vision was distorted and floating.
I was distracted by the feeling of being attacked by dizziness and still reached out to grab someone's arm, as Arnold said.Someone held my hand so strongly.
"---chan, miss"
Your consciousness rises to the warmth of your shoulders and the sound of shaking your tympanic membrane.Apparently, he was held in a powerful arm.
Open your eyelids, and you'll see the green eyes peeking at us worriedly. - It's Vake.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"Mr. Vake...? Where are we?"
Vake looks around in my words.He shook his shoulders and shook his neck as if he didn't know.
"Apparently it was scattered by magic.Probably somewhere in the woods. "
― ― It's a common development in RPG.
Whilst secretly thinking of what a joke it is, I can't let Vake support me forever, and I wake up.There is no pain anywhere. Maybe Vake gave us cover when we landed.
"It's okay," he smiled at him as he watched, and he took a breath of relief before looking up at the sky.Likewise, I looked up and saw the tower of Sierro, which was the destination, rising high towards the sky.
"In the meantime, we should aim for the tower. I'm sure the Lukash will do the same."
Nod and rush to check inside the bag.It was filled with water spirits.
The Spirit looks up at my face, relieved that I didn't have to come off. I thought,
"Laura"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
I jumped out of my bag.I wonder what's going on, and as the dog does so, he starts sniffing his nose close to the ground.
"Smell, smell"
"What smell?"
"Sierro"
"... the Spirit of the Sky?"
Maybe not, but the Spirit of Water has a good nose.I can smell and distinguish the smell of the Spirit of the Sky, Sierro.
Looking back at Vake, he tried to follow the spirits of water as they slowly smelled.He was strangely round with green eyes.
"Mr. Vake, it seems that the Spirit of Water will guide us to the Tower."
"... really. Thank you."
For a moment, but soon after believing in my words and the Spirit of Water, Vake kicked out the Spirit's little posterity.I also start walking with crossbows and arrows in my hand.
"Miss, can I have your right?"
"Yes"
On the right is Vake's blind spot.No matter how skillful he is, the reaction rate still drops slightly.
I stood next to Vake on the right and walked as I was asked to, observing the movement of the plants.Focus your nerves and don't miss a small sound.
Two and a spirit.If a swarm of monsters attacked me now, I would lose my life to the worst.I kept walking through the woods as fast as I could, but strangely, no matter how fast I walked, the monsters would come.
"... strange. There are no monsters at all."
Vake murmured. Apparently he was thinking the same thing.
I nodded with my gaze.
"That's right... I thought it was a trap to spread the power and attack there..."
Yes, I thought this was the devil's plan.Aim for magic to disperse the power, and you'll be more sure to take it down.I expected it to be a “trap.”
But the monsters never attacked.I don't even have a sign. Is this part of the operation?Let me be alarmed. I'll aim for it.
"Let's get you lost and tired in the woods, even those deep woods."
"Do you have other purposes?"
In my words, Vake stopped.When I think about it, I murmur with a small voice.
"... perhaps another companion is being targeted intensively?"
Another companion. The Demon King wants to eliminate the most, our companion.It's definitely a brave man.
I saw him unexpectedly.That way, Wake could have come up with the same answer, with an impatient expression.
We nodded and hurried to the tower.
"Laura! Mr. Vake!"
They stopped me from behind.
That voice is exactly the voice of the people we were both worried about.
I look back in haste. There was Lukash waving his hand towards us and Diona holding her back for a few steps.
"Luca! Diona!"
"... is Lukash and his best friends safe?"
I found Vake sighing in relief beside me, calling out their names to respond.
Lukash, who has the power of a hero against the Demon King, and Diona, who has the power of light to show the power of monsters.Judging from the Demon King, they should be the first and second most obstructive beings, but they were safe.If they were targeted first, I and Vake thought they were the two of us.
Unexpectedly dazed - that's the best - the four of you walk out toward the tower of Sierro as you thrill through the rendezvous.As far as light confirmation is concerned, it seems that Lukash and the others have no abnormalities in their bodies.
The Spirit of Water guides you through the woods.As the tower approached, I was summoned again.
"Lukash! Laura!"
The voice of a healthy woman. It's Malta, you don't even look back.
"Malta and Julius! I'm glad you're okay."
And Lukash shouted with joy, and rejoiced in the reunion of Malta with Julius.Neither of them has any noticeable trauma.
Me and Vake, then Lukash and Diona, Malta and Julius.There's only one more of us left.
"All that remains... is Arnold."
Well, he'll be fine. All the friends nodded to the noise of Vake, and the tension was completely resolved.
Stay alert and walk through the woods with occasional conversations.The number of trees gradually decreased, and eventually the “exit” was seen.
The Spirit of Water rushed to me without saying that the guidance was over and urged me to hold him.I'm sure you're tired.When I thanked him and tried to put the Spirit back in my bag, he disappeared as if he had dissolved in the air.Like the Wentlers, he hid himself in another time and space where only spirits could go.
"Oh, we're almost through the woods..."
He raised his face to Wake's voice.----There was a familiar figure hovering at the exit of the forest.
Ah, when I thought about it, Lukash was rushing towards the figure.
Arnold!
In response to Lukash's call, Arnold raised his right hand slightly.All my friends are now reunited.
"I'm glad it was easier than I thought."
Everyone nods uniformly to Lukash's words.
When I hear the story, no one is attacked by a monster, and naturally there is no injury.It was just a pointless scattering.- But really?
I wonder if the Demon King would intrude into the forest entrance with so many traps and miss a chance to dress up.The demon kings of this world that I know stand still more...
"I thought you might be surrounded by monsters at the end of the flight. What if you don't have enough manpower?"
"Malta, don't be ridiculous."
"Brighten up the atmosphere.I want to, Julius. "
Return to me with a light exchange between Marta and Julius.
Anyway, we should be glad that everyone has been able to join us now.I can't afford to feel so anxious that I don't want to become a skeptical ghost.
We took a step forward to split between Malta and Julius, who were still arguing.
"Let's go."
A few moments earlier, Arnold shouted.
"Huh? Let's go...."
The entrance is this way.
In short, Arnold returns his heel.The companions pursued the back a few seconds late.
Diona stands next to Arnold alone and asks.
"Did you check it out first?"
Ah.
That's right, it's not sloppy.
It was when I was secretly impressed.All of a sudden, a "weight” appears in the bag.I flexed for a moment, but I managed to step on it and peered inside my bag.
There, as expected, is the Spirit of Water.But the difference was that the Spirit was staring at the front and inclining his neck strangely.I thought I was sleeping in my bag.
"What's wrong?"
Don't answer any of my questions.I just looked forward and leaned my neck suddenly.
I followed the gaze of the Spirit of Water, but there were only a few of my friends behind.
