Isekai Shoukan wa Nidome Desu

24 Giving up is strictly forbidden

It was about three years ago that she met this despair of dragons.

A period of time had passed when she was in action with her masters, Setsu, and she was stretching her strengths, finally trying to raise that rank to S grade.

That's when the request to take the S-level promotion exam was put up in the guild. The contents are "The Crusade of the Fei Long Unity" and are common for S-level exams, and adventurers above S-level are sometimes referred to as "dragon hunters".

Crusade the dragon. In principle, it is forbidden to act alone. Dragons are a powerful species among the species in this world that would undoubtedly go into three fingers. It is even said that solo destruction is not possible unless you are also in SSS class. So much so that there's a difference between SS and SSS, but let's put it down now.

Without departing from that example, she was also asked to do so with the Class A adventurers she had been somewhat close to. While on the road, they were imagining themselves becoming S-class, loosening their cheeks, but at the same time they arrived at the scene (dragon's nest) and fought.

It was the whole flying dragon who was on the spot. They noticed their proximity and seemed to have come out of the dragon's nest. The dragon glances at Alize and flies with its huge wings flapping. The bright red urchin covering the body nails the gaze of not too many creatures of beauty, and their presence, their style, makes every thing seem to unwittingly fall down.

What they felt was overwhelming helplessness. I can't believe I've ever enjoyed floating my ideals anywhere, I just watched as if I were going to eat that (beauty).

When the dragons roared suddenly, wings were further winged and approached by them, as such alises appeared in the blind eye. The members who were on the spot could not move against the dragon who was descending with his claws in place.

Alize- - Except for her...

"Ugh, whoa!!!

Trembling his shrinking body with fear, Alize pulled out the rapier she was carrying a knife. Crawl the magic into Rapier and release a flying sword that pokes, not slashes.

The flying sword pushing straight through the space was the best flying sword ever made for her. That attack, which puts a wind hole in most monsters, does strike straight into the face of the dragon.

- - But that was it.

The dragon, punched in the face, had no slight frightening appearance, landed on the ground and wiped out the nearest Alize like garbage.

Alize rolls down the ground with the pain her consciousness is about to fly. I've knocked down a few trees, and if I notice it, I'm nearly 100 meters away from the dragon.

The reason Alize was able to move would be because she was raised by that brave, unbrave man. Arre (...) was constantly hitting her with a dragon-like intimidation when she played a pair of hands, etc. For this reason, it was a routine tea meal to lose her hips and faint initially, but she herself realizes that she can get used to it if she just repeats it, which has become quite strong for intimidation. It is also for a great reason that we were able to move on this occasion.

But just because she could move, there was no way she had a tooth on the dragon alone. It would be good evidence that he was so blown away and damaged. The bones in the arms are broken and the bones in the legs are crushed. Already Alize was not in a state where she could move.

While I remembered my anger at myself for being unsuitable for restorative magic, I strongly resented an arm that could no longer even hold a sword. There's a big cut on my shoulder that I don't know where I cut it, and the blood is overflowing. She hit the wound with anger, but pressed her hand, which put the fire together.

"Ugh...!

Even as she brings a groan, she weeps.

- - I saw a fellow who came with me in the corner of my sight being eaten.

I was to suffer a burn, but I manage to stop the bleeding.

- - Now another companion has been crushed by the dragon's arm.

Alize manages to get up and try to go for an addition...

- - - A huge nail pierces a woman warrior who was bright and healthy.

I can't help my legs and they collapse quickly. There was no force in my arm to accept my body, and I punched my body on the ground as it was.

- - - A cute wizard who was better at supporting than attack magic, under her tail, into a meat chunk.

Move, keep sending orders all over your body, but your body never shows signs of obedience. That should be it too, her body had instinctively rejected it. To challenge that dragon... to imitate it to the death of missouri.

And finally, that's when I came.

"Ah..."

Six people were here today, including Alize. Four people are currently dead.

And... the last one, the kind hearted man swordsman who always drinks and laughs luxuriously - -

- - It's eaten now.

In the end the dragon went straight back to the nest and Alize was left on the spot by herself. Her head is riddled with tears as the face of the last man swordsman circles.

He looked at Alize with a glimpse of something. Those eyes were telling me to help you.

This is what caused her trauma. Overwhelming defeat by overwhelming force, disappearance of fellow citizens. Later we found out that the dragons they met weren't subject to crusade. Since Alize and the others left the guild, that information has rolled into that guild.

Anything seems to mean that the dragon that should have been the object of that crusade was killed by an even higher dragon, and that higher dragon has settled in that nest. I mean, we were supposed to fight more junior dragons.

She was blown up first and out of the dragon's territory, which seems to mean she didn't have to be attacked at the end.

Alize, who doesn't even know that, is taken as a miscellaneous fish that isn't worth killing for a dragon.

She passed out with helplessness and fear as she slaughtered the intruder and dropped off the dragon returning satisfied.

She was then protected by a merchant who heard the noise and approached her, and the injury was healed by healing magic as well. With this incident, the Alliance's mishap became a little problematic, and Alize will receive a large stopping fee.

They told me they would stick out the S-level promotion exam again at a later date, but she wasn't in a mental state where she could already go up to S-level. Once again, there is no relative strength left to Alize, who has learned of the dragon's fear.

Alize did not tell anyone as she was, but took the city back to this village. Every time I had a rapier, the sight of that time came back, and for a while I could hardly train and weaken my powers, but lately I have been able to fade that fear gradually. Because I met a man called Lamel and he inspired me.

But the faded fear didn't disappear...

◇ ◇ ◇

"Ah... oh..."

Alize's feet were trembling with fear.

The dragons flying over the village look down at the villagers with angry eyes and shrink their liver with an overwhelming sense of intimidation. The dragon dropped its altitude one by one and then stepped down inside the village. The house underneath the giant crumbles, and the villagers battle.

"There's a sick kid over there who can't move!!

Someone screamed. The other villagers panic at the sudden onslaught of dragons and flee in all directions. The soldiers who were waiting in the village barely stayed on the spot, but there is no sign of anyone trying to go and help the child.

If you don't run...

Alize is just like them. Two letters of escape pass on her head. From what I saw, this dragon seemed to be an individual on the same level as the one that ravaged them a few years ago. Although urchins and other colors are different, the stylish shape is somewhat similar to that of the dragon at the time.

The dragon looks around looking for prey and moves his neck. And - - I had eyes with Alize.

"Ah..."

A distracted voice comes out of her. The expression "snake-studded frog" is the most suitable sight.

The dragon found his prey, one step with his angry eyes, and moved his leg.

"The child is still alive!!

At that time, someone shouted that way and rushed out to the dragon… precisely to its underlying house.

"Ra, Ramel!!

It was Lamel, a village soldier who turned his thoughts to Alize, who rushed to the spot without pulling out his sword. He was always one of these guys. If someone in the village becomes dangerous, ignore their strengths and positions and go help them. Well put, brave, ill say, reckless... he was the man who was repeating that. Still, until now, Alize has managed to get in and out of help.

- But not this time.

A dragon notices him and sends that gaze.

That alone stopped his movement. Always brave and reckless, he has only one glance...

There is so much difference between humans and dragons. The overwhelming difference in power crushes that spirit first. His spiritual strength broke before he could face his fears as before.

And there's nothing easier to target in this situation than a person who stopped moving

"To - - Run!!

Alize forgets her fears and screams. However, it did not reach Lamel, who stared at the dragon in awe, and did not escape.

The dragon squirts his arm like dust. A gust of wind broke out of his shaken arm and pressed Alize's body. Unable to keep her eyes open to the strong wind, she can cover her face with her arms and finally open her thin eyes.

... There was no sign of Lamel there. When the breeze stopped and I was finally able to find him properly, it (...) came down from the sky.

"Ra...... rame...... l"

I don't know how far he was launched, but there was quite a bit of time between his disappearance and his fall. Falling beside Alize, he has his arms pointing in a weird direction and not a small amount of blood from under that armor. And to him who wouldn't even move with Pickle, Alize couldn't get close. Rahmel's life is already scattered. It is good evidence that his magic is no longer felt. Alize took that armor and was afraid to make sure of it.

She was now to have her people killed by dragons again.

But what comes to a boil was not what it was then.

"............... how dare you"

Alize pulled out Rapier and took a step forward.

"How dare you... wow ramel!!!

Dyed in the expression of anger, Alize rushes out with fierce momentum. There is no fear there, there is pure anger. Rahmel's presence was so great in her that the fear blew up. So much so that I was attracted to him.

"Ahhh!!!

In contrast to overwhelming irrationality, Alize rambles the flames with unchanging magic that she didn't like. What did the dragon think of an attack not thinking about any magic distribution, etc., while taking it all together, the dragon starts flying.

"Run away!!

To the raised giant, she kicks the ground and jumps up, poking a rapier in its face.

But...

"Damn!!

Rapier breaks about the minute he hits the urchin. Alize lost her weapon, but either because she was being driven by anger, or because she left it to her instincts to grab the tip of Rapier that was floating in the universe and poke it into the eyes of a dragon.

"Ghhhhhhhh!!!

The first dragon scream I hear. Without rejoicing in it, Alize, crushing one eye, puts the remains of Rapier in the other hand into the other eye of the dragon.

"Gah!!

"Chi!!

But that is prevented by the dragon shaking his head. Throwed out in the air, Alize rebuilt her system in the air and landed. and at the same time

"Whoa!!!

He kicked the ground again and jumped in front of the dragon. If you swing to poke Rapier in the other eye again, now he ends up failing by shaking his arm.

Beaten by a giant arm from the side, she blew straight to the side, breaking through a few houses and finally stopping.

"Damn... ha... ha..."

In a house where the inhabitants had already been evacuated, Alize threw up blood. She laughs bitterly that she didn't die herself.

(I knew you wouldn't be enemies...... Ha, that's something I regret)

The difference in power was obvious, I knew I couldn't win. Still, the moment my loved one was hurt, my body was moving when I realized it. Once, when my people were hit, all I had was fear, but not this time.

(So... you mean you were attracted to that guy)

I guess that means that her heart had been taken away by Lamel enough to anoint her fears. Therefore - - remorse is raised. I can't even take the enemies of my thoughts on myself.

"Still... can you move"

Fortunately, her body wasn't broken. My body barely moves, but my ribs may be broken a few times...

"If you can move...!

She munches her painful body and rushes out. Injuries of this magnitude, by the time Alize stayed with Setsu, were routine tea meals.

Fly out of the house and run towards the dragon that is still floating. The dragon is turning one eye stained with anger, but Alize ignored it and kept running.

The dragon flicks its wings and tries to blow her away with the wind that happened. But she won't stop. Desperately move your legs strengthened by magic and keep moving forward.

And the dragon, furthermore irritated, filled his mouth with magic. It is a typical weapon for their species, the "brace" structure. Some spit fire, ranging from individuals emitting destructive beams, but if they are superior, they say they are powerful enough to half-destruct cities.

And this dragon is it (...).

"Ha... the braces... that's just tight"

Energy gathered in the mouth that can be seen in the distance. There was an amount of magic there that seemed to be comparable to many times hers.

I can't make it, I get shot before I get close. Alize had that certainty. If you know that, you can run naturally. Giving up attitude.

"But... only the village... - I'll protect it"

It was for this village that I became stronger. It was to protect this village. It was to reassure the village, which is daily threatened by the strength of the demons around it. Perhaps if this brace were released, this village would disappear as well as hers.

"That's all!!!

Alize spilled the remaining magic all over her body. The dragon's brace is after her. If only she could take it all...

(Ma, I guess I can't)

I know what my remaining amount of magic was - - I thought so. Actually, you were right.

But if I could at least be a shield at all, I might even stay in part of the village.

Fear has already surmounted, there is no longer anything to fear.

(Speaking of heartbreaking...... can't you give your master honeysuckle?)

Alize chuckles at what she's thinking at a time like this.

"Excuse me, Master, with a weak apprentice"

"Oh, not at all, stupid apprentice."

"- Huh?"

"Goaaaaa!!!

At the same time that Alize makes a dumb voice, a running stream of energy is released from the dragon's mouth.

"I thought you said you forgot what I thought of you, you dirty adventurer. Giving up is strictly forbidden - - so what!!

The mainstream of energy, the beam suddenly turns the orbit straight up. It vanished into the sky, and it vanished as it was with the loss of energy from the dragon's mouth.

"Ahhh, I've been late too many appearances lately..."

"Shit, Master!!

There stood (...) and the closest (...) man, Setsu, to the bravest man in this world.
