Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai
Episode 35: Ortolos
"- Nine o'clock. If it's school, it's just about the beginning of the first hour."
Hirano confirms the time in G-shock and then says it out in a slightly stronger tone.
"Are you ready?
We all snort at the words. I'm as armed as I can be. The operation also stood firm. After that, just try.
"Alright, let's go boss!
Oh, I rang so loud, we jumped out of Fairy Square.
Neither Skeleton read the air for us challenging the boss battle, and none of us jumped out into the aisle with the scarecrow. Nature, not long enough to pass through the passage, quickly comes to the boss room, in front of the room where there is a magic formation of transfers to be called.
"Last check, Peach River, please."
"Once in the room, start with Mr. Twin Leaves' stone-throwing and Mr. Nishiyama's sagitta for a pre-emptive attack. For once, I have a fever too, but I don't want it to work. Until the other one fills the distance over here, just throw it, shoot it."
That would be good if I could get some injuries from this preemptive attack, and as a restraint, the other side could be on guard. What scares me is that all of a sudden they fly off and in no time one person is going to be sacrificed. Only your two dances, Ito, must avoid anything.
"When the boss approaches, I'll stop by you and Mr. Twin Leaves. I'll make a gap in movement and see if I can tie the boss dog with black hair. Mr. Nishiyama, keep up the backup fire."
You don't have to worry about running out of magic. Nishiyama can shoot quite a bit if it's just "Wind Blade (Yale Sagitta)," and I can maintain quite a bit if I concentrate on "Black Hair Tie" alone.
"Once we allow ourselves to approach, we'll have to fight as we go after... because if one of us is pushed down, then it's a chance at the same time as a pinch. The enemy is one. Even if Mr. Twin Leaves and Mr. Hirano are defeated, the other one left should be able to strike a powerful blow in."
The weakness of the couple Nishiyama Hirano, who lost you and left you alone, is not to put a gap in the boss's predatory behavior. If they defeat you first, you won't be able to finish well with Mr. Nishiyama, who doesn't possess powerful martial arts. Worst of all, if you shoot the Windblade (Ale Blast), you have a winning chance, but perhaps, if that magic of having a wide range of effects bursts, you're not safe in the underlying plains either.
"If someone breaks through the avant-garde and Me or Nishiyama is pushed down, I'm Twin Leaves, Nishiyama is Hirano, you put a blow in first."
I deliberately turn it down in order, because if it becomes a dirt pit and the two of us are like concessions, we're in trouble. In tennis doubles, just when the ball comes to the halfway point of the pair, I can't tell which one to hit, and both are within reach of the racquet but unlikely to pass, the phenomenon is common.
Even in this fight, I want to avoid that kind of loss. Well, we're in a hurry party right now. It can't be a very coordinated attack with the breath of an abalone.
Besides, you should be able to make a clear decision about who you're supposed to help, even when you have to. Because I'm an amateur at battle, my head turns bright white when it comes to "what to do, what to do".
Most of all, even if you decide to do this, your best hands will change depending on your standing position and other circumstances. But still, for once, it's a decision that maybe it's better.
"If the boss is any weaker, let's fold it up at once. It's bad for the wounded, but defeating them is our top priority. A few scratches should heal with my medicine."
That's it for the operation. After that, we just have to believe in our power and fight. There's nothing else you can count on.
Finally, I see the three of us again. [M] Until then, we were merely classmates who didn't even say hello to each other in the classroom. That is how now, as fellow depositors of life, we are trying to challenge a terrible demon.
I don't get some sense of reality. But with each weapon in our hands, in a thin, dirty uniform, we dress everywhere in a realistic way.
Beyond just survival, the battle for life begins.
"Well, then, let's go"
You said ah! and your ambition of the powerful plains and the energetic replies of Mr. Twin Leaves and Mr. Nishiyama echo the dim passage.
And so we dive through the entrance, where the cannibal beast sleeps, without a door as empty as a cave.
The avant-garde is Mr. Twin Leaves and Mr. Hirano. A two-row column-like formation called me behind Mr. Twin Leaves, Mr. Nishiyama behind Mr. Hirano. Neither can we be too far from the two of us. I'm at high risk of being targeted, but if I'm poorly far away, I can't get help in time.
This must be the optimal formation.
"... What about the boss?
"Maybe on top of that"
A room the size of a gym. Just like Skeleton's gushing room, I see several cylinders on the left and right. A stone room with a murderous landscape that seems to be built like a temple, but has nothing to decorate but a cylinder. There are just a few light-emitting panels in the ceiling that emit only blurry light, and the view isn't very good. The corner of the room is darker and less visible.
But what you should be more concerned about than the four corners of the room is the "top" you showed Hirano. There was a stage in the back of the room that was one step higher, like on the stage correctly in the gym. Is there a staircase on both sides, just about two floors high on the stage? Perhaps the magic formation of metastasis is also engraved there.
Predicting that, staring up at the stage... I heard it.
Grrr, the groaning of a beast called.
"Yes, I knew he was here."
"... Takawa-kun"
"Wait, it looks like he's coming out of the other side"
In the midst of unpleasant tension, I did see a shadow move with the boss who rose to the ceiling illuminated by lights. Apparently, he knows we exist.
As expected, the boss has been peeking softly at us from the top of the stage to capture our new prey, our appearance.
What I saw was a big, tough, then bloodthirsty, fierce face, similar to the red dog, but seemingly separate from that skinny thin one. That's more of a wolf face than a dog. Such a horrible crimson wolf face - two.
"... Huh? There are two."
Two heads were staring at us.
"No, Takagawa-kun, I'm..."
Impossible. There can't be two bosses. As Mr. Twin Leaves denied, look, after all, the boss is just the right one. Because a body as big and muscular as a lion is one thing.
"Hey, what is it, alle... my head, it's got two!
"Lie, you know, it's not like I saw it before!?
Redhead wolf with two necks. That was the boss who appeared before us.
"Retreat!
I screamed without one or two. [M]
Are you freaking out? Naturally. We are now greatly upset in front of the boss who should look like a red dog with two heads, so to speak, Ortolos. If you keep pouring into battle, you will undoubtedly be drawn into a bad flow first.
And most importantly, he doesn't have a wacko to look down on. At the very least, you should be considered to have a higher combat capability than the big red dog you assumed.
Previously, the boss was different from when you guys fought, was he newly summoned as boss at the whim of the dungeon system, or did you eat Ito and even evolve? I don't care about this prediction right now because I'm not familiar with the dungeons or the demonic ecology.
The important thing is, above all, to take this place off and rearrange it...
"Danger, Peach River!
I was the one who first turned my heel back and tried to rush out to the entrance, but Gakun and his body sway loudly with the screams of Mr. Twin Leaves. Apparently, they grabbed the back collar and pulled it off thoughtfully.
"Whew!"
And I think I screamed, but I couldn't even hear myself.
Flames of red lotus flashes instantly in the dazzling and bursting sounds that bind your ears. It came at the next moment when I thought it was like a ball of red, tail-drawing light in front of me that crossed the letter of a bat.
"Whoa! Goddamn it, what are you doing? The fire didn't spray!?
"Magic, it's magic, alle! He's shooting the magic of fire!
When I heard you and Mr. Nishiyama scream, I stood on my feet again, away from Mr. Twin Leaves' hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Twin Leaves"
"Yeah, more than that, that wolf... what are you gonna do"
I look over the boss again. [M] The red dog, again Ortolos, was throwing up tyrosis and firepowder, like the remnants of a blasted fireball, from his mouth peeking at his sharp fangs. With the red trajectory visible bifurcated, it looks like you can spit out flamethrows on either head.
Fortunately, I only needed a little hot air thanks to Mr. Twin Leaves. But if you think you burst at a pretty critical distance, I guess the explosive power isn't that great. But the trouble is its burning power. The fireballs that landed are still burning like oil caught fire.
Yes, I tried to jump, in front of the entrance.
"Whoa, what's wrong, Peach River! You tried to escape, so the exit was smashed!
"Oh, it's not my fault!
I said it back reflexively, and then I thought, Shit. Not if you're arguing about this. But more than you've felt at this moment in the wind of being a coward who escaped my actions before me, that heartbeat is not something you can translate in a word or two.
The boss cunningly figured out that our escape was the only way in and out of the wall, and he crushed it first. Even if I hadn't tried to escape, it probably would have been blown up at the same time.
"But you saw the boss and you got away first."
Oh, yes, the undisputed fact that I was the first to try to escape. If the retreat had been successful as it was, I think you would have convinced me after settling down that it was the right decision, but in this situation, you're right.
"Wait, okay, I'm sorry. But we don't have time to argue here right now. More than the exit is blocked, all we have to do is fight as we do now -"
"You're kidding, it's your fault! Do something, Peach River!
"What are you gonna do, there's no more escape!
Damn it, damn it! Goddamn it, no, you two are halfway panicked, and you're not calmly grasping the situation. I mean, I don't know if I can calm down myself. I can't help it. Under shitty circumstances, my heart is going to bug and my head is going to turn white.
Shit, that's bad. We have to do something. All the rush solicits.
"Hey, wait a minute, calm down!
If you two don't calm down first, it won't be a fight. I won't, but the boss is already showing up.
"Come on, Peach River!
To Mr. Twin Leaves' sharp warning, he raises his face like he was bounced. Hirano and Nishiyama, on the left and right, were also vividly shaking their bodies. You're both scared. It's confusing.
"Oh, oh... come on, wait, wait!
"Yikes!
Ortolos jumped off the stage with plenty of spare light motion, even though he said the hunt had already begun, you idiots. From the equivalent height upstairs, decide to land as supple as a cat. For the dog's sake.
The jumping motion, which seemed somewhat graceful, flipped when the feet were on the ground. Like the wind, it ran in a straight line. It doesn't look like it, and the tight four legs provide tremendous acceleration and walking power. The sickness is a true beast. It's hundreds of times more powerful than the footage of Savannah lions hunting on TV. Already, this is all I'm going to pass out. I can't fool two people who scream. [M]
But if we don't do it here, they'll kill us. Take care, Kotaro Takawa. Still, it'll be early to throw a battle.
"Twin Leaves, throw it! entangling the escape legs -"
I don't know if Mr. Nishiyama will shoot Sagitta, as per the operation. The only person you can count on is Mr. Twin Leaves, who didn't try to blame me. If a lot of fighting starts, we'll both fight no matter how confused we are or not.
In the meantime, I don't have time to 'red fever' for a long time anymore because the boss has set up a fast attack. What I chose was' black-haired tying 'where physical restraints can be desired.
Mr. Twin Leaves only threw stones in red fur, and as far as my dark hair was concerned, he was quickly jumped from his feet. And I'll jump to you in the plains with that flying momentum.
"Ugh, wow!? Stop. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
With a wild scream, your body doth fall on your back. Looks like he hit his back on the hard stone floor with no reception from Locke. He doesn't stand up right away with a bitter groan.
From the boss's point of view, it's his chance to put you in the same shark pattern as he did when he ate you and killed you, but he didn't chase you like he was going to be pressured against you by Hirano. The two necks are aligned, facing straight across.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Mr. Twin Leaves, who shook up his axe in high spirits, was bravely slashed to the boss.
But the boss had already reacted to her attack, jumping off the scene in quick steps and avoiding Mr. Twin Leaves' swing at his leisure. The axe blade tip, which slapped the floor intensely, scattered a spark with a kick and a noise.
"Hold on, Mr. Hirano! Stand fast - 'brunette tied' eh!
As I speak to the fallen swordsman, I go into your support. [M] Even so, even though I can't break into melee fights with a spear I've got, and I just have to release 'brunette tying'.
Mr. Twin Leaves cuts twice, three times, but as he sees through the slaughter, the boss flips herself gorgeously. Besides, a bunch of dark hair spraying from the feet, which are almost blind spots, can still be done in hilarious steps. Not even a single piece of hair gets tangled.
"Well, here we go."
Half-reflective, I raise my right hand. The more I let go of control of my hands and feet, the more my consciousness concentrates on the exercise of the spell. Imagine it more, more accurately, more clearly.
Long hair in three bundles. And knit it it alternately, sequentially, politely. Look, I can, I can, I can, beautiful three knitting.
"- What do you say!
Several times' brunette tying 'led to three braided brunettes in a single bottle jumping out of the ground like a serpent. The boss also saw out the moment and dodged it with one side step.
However, this' three-knit tie 'has a long reach.
I wave my right hand out of my mind. As linked to the movement, the three braids snap off their feet. Hair length is approximately three meters. It arrives critical, to the extent that the boss escaped on the steps.
"Taken! Mr. Twin Leaves!"
Boss' left hind leg. Around the ankle, Hyun-hyun and the three knitted knitted flying in cut of the sky intertwine brilliantly. Double, triple, does wind up, snatching away its agile mobility.
"Ahhhhhh!
Decided. The boss can't dodge another fly.
At a time when a blade of tremendous momentum approached the present, the bosses each turned in a different direction.
The right head stares at Mr. Twin Leaves, slashed directly from the front. The left head stretches its neck so that it turns wide back. At the end of his gaze is an abominable brunette admonition.
Gatin, and the sound of one fang. Shortly after, my left head blows a flame.
"Ah."
It's too late when I thought. Dark hair, which is not metal or anything, is only fiber, burns down abruptly and instantly loses its restraint.
With his left leg unleashed by the flames of the Red Lotus, and his mobility restored again, the boss slaughtered Mr. Twin Leaves with a single piece of paper.
Now it's not an extra step, but a half step, to the extent that it moved to let go. Still, once again, the axe slaps the floor.
And dodged at that critical place, so the boss gets a chance at the counter. Reach out and you have enemies full of gaps, waving the axe down.
"Gu, ugh!
Mr. Twin Leaves, with his groans, the giant had been blown away like a lie. A painful dog punch burst through his abdomen. Soon after, by the distance of many meters, Mr. Twin Leaves' body was rolling in a gobble and hitting a cylinder standing in the corner of the room to finally put a stop to his movements.
"Mr. Twin Leaves!
I didn't just shout at her. [M] A powerful avant-garde, she was blown away, leaving a distance between me and the powerless rear guard. With this standing position, the boss can stab Todome at you in the plains that still remain down, or he can change his target and target me or Mr. Nishiyama.
How do we get out next? I don't have an effective countermeasure other than "brunette bondage," all I can do is watch the boss get out. And no one gets in the way of the boss hitting his best hand in this fight.
Gaw, barking, two heads honking their fangs. From both mouths, the flaming bands are spewed out red. It's like flamethrowing.
The burning flames landed on Twin Leaves about to get up, no, surrounding her with glitter, drawing a curve that was strangely loose in the air.
"Oh, shit... split, been..."
Unexpectedly breathtaking for its highly tactical behavior. You judged Mr. Twin Leaves the greatest threat, surrounded her with flames and trapped her. A flame chamber was formed in the corner of the room within a radius of about five metres.
"Ugh... Takagawa!
From beyond the melamera and momentum burning flame swings, Mr. Twin Leaves' voice reaches. Apparently, you're not seared all over your body like a whole grilled pig, so you're relieved for one second.
The boss would have stabbed Todome with it alone if he had let the flamethrowing radiate into Mr. Twin Leaves himself like that, but for some reason he didn't. Are you licking it? Or do you want meat raw?
I'm glad Mr. Twin Leaves is safe, but there's still no change in my own situation.
"Wait, Mr. Twin Leaves! If you try to force it out, it's dangerous. Wait till the fire's momentum weakens a little. We'll figure this one out!
I scream as I look at the first crushed entrance and exit. [M] No heart or the flaming momentum at the entrance and exit seemed to be weakening. The wall of flames does not last forever, above all proof.
That's why you don't have to force Mr. Twin Leaves to penetrate the wall of flames to become a fire grinder. If she suffers a major burn, she will lose her offensive power to defeat the boss. So this is a place to endure. Whatever you do, buy Mr. Twin Leaves time to come back.
As if to ridicule my decision like that, the boss makes a pleasant roar of glue at his leisure and moves his two heads firmly to stare at us. Who am I going to eat from, or thinking about it?
I set up in a spearless motion, and Mr. Nishiyama next door just clutches his wand. Only the groans of the beast echo, a strangely quiet time passes.
"Ugh, guh... damn..."
As a result, what the boss chose was you, Hirano, on your knees to stand up again.
The two heads stripped their fangs violently, and now it was time to push his body down.
"Ugh, wow!?
"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
As the screams of Mr. Hirano and Mr. Nishiyama roar, I will try to restrain him with brunette ties for now.
"Tie him up!
More intensive than just now. This time I succeeded in calling two threesome knitting. I can't afford to be happy that I'm making a little progress, sifting a three-knit snake grown from the ground to the boss's head to slap it.
"but ahhh! Ouch! Hot, damn!
But my grown 'brunette tie' is still helpless in front of the flames, too. Both burned abruptly by the flame radiation thrown out again. The pursuit of your boss's plains will not weaken.
"Ugh... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
After a few rounds, you're ready. We can't lose Hirano here. I gave up an unusable spell and made the decision to attack directly with a spear in my hand.
With a pitifully tall screaming ambition, I rushed out to my boss with trembling legs. Oh, close, close. If you look nearby, it's seriously big.
"So, hey, hey, hey!
Boss, the effect of the power seed you drank before entering the room gives off a somewhat more powerful blow. Aim to poke at the side of the boss who will be pressured against you by Hirano. No way, at this close range, I can't take my boss's big body off.
But ruthlessly, the flash of my whole body cuts off the sky.
There's no such thing as a boss proud of his quick self, he just jumped back and dodged.
"Gee, okay, ahhhhh!
With a light landing that doesn't make you feel the weight, Hirano finally shouted that you were dying. If you look at it, there's a lot of blood erupting from the neck muscles.
On the verge of the boss dodging, his fangs seemed to rip his neck pretty deep.
"Mr. Hirano!
Shit, if we don't stop the bleeding right now, we're gonna die for sure. Fortunately, I always have a lot of wound medicine A in my bag. If you paint this, your life will be saved.
But I don't have time to do that. Because this is a real battle, and it's not a turn-based RPG that can be executed slowly after thinking about the next hand.
"Ugh, wow!?
The boss's backlash begins. Already on the verge of leaving you alone, Hirano, you're after me for the attack.
Of course, not a swordsman, not a mad warrior, not a single hitter at this distance, not even the weakest spellman.
What should I do? Not long after thinking about it, the boss's body is on the verge of great momentum.
"- Ahhh!"
With a pitiful scream like a girl, I fell to the floor. Ouch. It's bitterness like all the air in your lungs has fallen out.
But such pain and other preludes. Already, Ortolos' hungry, vicious head was drooling right in front of me.
"Wow, wow!?
Speaking of what I could do, all I had to do was raise my arms reflexively in front of the raging agate that stripped my fangs. Naturally, the spears are so far apart, and no subwepon cutter knife or Goma dagger can afford to pull them out.
Even the fairy walnut branch doesn't break satisfactorily, the wolf's fangs protrude deeply into my fine arms.
"Hey no, ahhhhhh!!
No shame, no hearsay, I raised my scream. Early on the pain of running on my arm, the limits of my patience are brutally breached.
They'd already eat my arm like this a thousand times, I thought so, but on the contrary, the boss's mouth was off his arm. Gaw, the slightly bitter groan reaches your ears at the same time.
"Ah, ha... yes, if you eat me... you too, you're hurting me!
The second spell, Pain Return, works. The blow of the fangs in my arm is equally engraved into the boss's forefoot.
A moment of fright gives me a chance to fight back. Now it's time for me to pull out the Goma dagger I stabbed in my belt, not think about it as it is, and slash the red body of the hairy snapper in front of me.
Harder than I thought. The thin, rusty blade stays to cleave the fur and just a little meat, not far from fatal wounds.
Damn, I can't wield a knife on Matomo in such a fallen position. But I have to stab him somehow.
"Geez!"
The scream overlaps with both me and my boss. The boss has relentlessly fed his nails into my shoulder without saving any pain repellent damage as to whether my slaughter increased his sense of crisis.
"Gu, ha... If so, Bakka, do it..."
Koitz, maybe you don't even understand that the damage is bouncing back on you in the first place. The sharp pain in my skin tearing nails on my shoulders and my forelegs are pressed with a lot of power, eating so much pressure that my shoulder bones are crushed as they are. The boss should be experiencing just the same pain, but, hey, he's not trying to loosen his powers.
But still no deadly attack will come that will devour the neck muscles. If I were to, my thin neck would bite off a thousand bites. For, are you still wary of pain returns, and there is no stomping off stabbing until todome?
Me and my boss both experience the same pain while continuing to fight back and forth. The sharp pain that erodes the wrinkles and body and the weight of the boss so heavy that he seems to hold his breath. I was wondering if I might have fallen with my boss on the road.
"To, Nishiyama ah! Shoot me! Now!
It was your voice, Hirano. If I turned my gaze to Chirali, I could see him standing up, yo-yo, with his hands on his desperately bleeding neck muscles.
"Plains! So, but-"
"Fine, shoot! Shoot! Shoot every peach river with a blast!
My spine freezes. Don't. Rettel, the coward who escaped first, loses the resistance to shooting at each of his friends. Oh, shit. I didn't do anything wrong. [M] But if this is the case, I wish I hadn't.
All I can do is desperately contain the boss's fangs in front of me, biting away the most humiliating regrets I can do. [M]
"Ugh, yeah, I get it! Your order."
I heard a countdown to death.
Damn it, damn it! Stop it, you idiot, you idiot! There's a fool here who shoots every ally!
On the other hand, it fills my head with cursed words, oh, I can't help it, if the boss can defeat the weakest spellman at the expense of him, he'll be all hail. Such cold thoughts too.
The boss is the boss, and he hasn't noticed any signs of offensive magic he's trying to get at himself. Every time you hurt me, it feels like you're hurting yourself, and you're losing your cool, and you're getting laid and you keep attacking me.
There's nothing more this guy can do, including me.
"-" Windblade (Ale Blast) "Huh!
