……

I'm Mina, an adventurer who belongs to the Finnish Guild. Are you alone?

... erm...

Where's your companion?

This is a dangerous place that no one but adventurers should enter.

That's why he's an adventurer and a companion. There was no mistake in Mina's thoughts.

…………

Is that so?

Mina's expression sank darkly into the man who shook her head.

Why don't you come with us?

Hey, Mina

I'll do it again...

Then what do we do? This person can't go home alone, right?

Well, that's true, but...

Tuco is unhappy with his face. However, no objection emerged from his mouth.

I gave up thinking that it was impossible to stop Mina from going into intermediate baking mode.

Help people in need.

That is the reason for the existence of the cat's hand, so her behavior was very natural.

Would you like to come with me?

The man held Mina's hand.

It was that moment. The atmosphere of a man changed dramatically.

Zahah, Lily's whole body has goosebumps.

(What is this feeling...!)

Lily wasn't the only one who noticed the change.

All the members of the cat's hand took up combat positions at once. Tuko attracts Mina and distances herself from the man.

Rig standing in front of the man asked in a low voice.

Who are you? Tell me the real reason why you're here alone. "

Do you need to know that?

― ― To the man who is going to die.

The man's words echoed horribly.

Tuco and Rig immediately slashed their swords. I was also a B-ranked adventurer who made it through various shura. If you're a regular opponent, you'll never be late.

However, the opponent was not [regular].

I noticed that I had lost sight of the opponent.

─!?

Where have you been?

Before we could get into combat, the opponent either used a sign-off skill or used sorcery.

Horrible early working.

With her familiar skills, Lily raised her vigilance level to the maximum.

Chanting instantly. Activates the [Foresight Eye (Detect)] that knocks out Hyde.

But it was a step slower.

Where are you looking?

--Kahaha!!

Tuko!?

Caaaa!!

The man behind him pierced Rigg's chest with a knife in his hand.

Oh, isn't that too strong? Since I was about to come here, I thought I already had the strength of an A-rank. What about you as a swordsman? ”

Ahh! This guy's strong!!

Lily-san!

Nnh!

I won't let you ~

Koo!

Lily backstepped as she harshly blasted the dagger attack. Hold the cane at a distance.

{Yo-yo. It seems that the strongest of these is like you, the elf. It was just right. This body isn't very strong, is it? "

The man shook his blood with Hyun and raised his dagger in front of him.

That body is attractive. I want to take whatever I can. "

This isn't the time to fight. Lily's feelings dissipated.

Mina was healing Rig's wound with a healing technique. But it doesn't stop bleeding. At this rate, the Reagans will die.

In front of him, Tuco is desperately stopping the man from moving forward.

At best, the man seems to have only about the physical ability of D to C rank. But the longsword never reaches a man.

My skills are unusually high compared to my physical abilities. It was the same elf (Lily) who spent most of his years training and never fought in action.

Rig! Please wake up, Rig!!

Blood was still flowing from the Reig's body. That's why your heart must be moving. But the wound didn't close.

─ ─ There was no more soul left in Reig's body.

The back teeth made a rattling noise.

Lily put some mana in her wand and quickly pulled up her magic.

Kill the gentleman who killed the party leader without any hesitation.

Holy Ray

Oh dear, that's a bad thing ~

The white light emitted from the tip of the cane instantly vaporized the man's head.

The headless man slowly fell to the ground.

Lily was the most adventurous (B rank) mage in the country.

If I could do it alone, it would be comparable to the A rank. Once the power has turned to man, there is no shadow left.

……

Lily looked down at the black cloak while biting her lips.

I left it to my emotions, but just because I killed this human doesn't mean that the Reig will come back to life.

(It was a waste of life.....)

You don't have to kill them if you're just trying to protect yourself. All you have to do is steal your limbs. That's what Lily would have done a while ago.

No matter how many people nearby were killed, their hearts would never be moved.

(...... Rig)

So why is your heart so rattled?

Why is it so painful?

"Why can't you stop because tears are overflowing..."

Lily was confused as her first senses pushed together. But the situation doesn't wait for the mind to calm down.

I was in a danger zone where B-ranked monsters were buried. Now that we've lost the Shield Rig, we need to get to the Safe Zone quickly.

Lily wiped her tears with her sleeve and looked back.

Tuko, Mina. Once back to the city--

Let's go back. Lily, trying to tell her that, lost her voice when she saw them.

Tuco bleeds a lot from his chest.

Mina poked her dagger deeply into her chest.
