Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

"... the atmosphere has changed a lot again."

Looking for the deepest part of the dungeon, looking for the remote Peach River, what we went ahead with was a beautiful white palace-like place unlike any stone ever built.

Bright white walls and passageways. A white monochromatic corridor, but with elaborate decorations like a European palace, the lights are not white light panels, and beautiful crystal lighting devices like chandeliers hang at equal intervals. Wow, is that an angel painting on the ceiling? A naked boy and girl with white wings growing from her back, dancing in cloudy sunny weather, is realistically portrayed.

Such a temperamental ceiling painting, white construction and chandelier brilliance look brand new and beautiful, as if everything had just recently been completed. What kind of magic can I use to maintain this state of affairs? No way, there's just people from different worlds living here, housekeeping.

"Beautiful,"

Yeah, but that's creepy.

Unlike me, cherry blossoms with a deep interest in art and art are blinded by the stunning construction of a different world palace, but the chairman of the committee looks strongly alert to the unusual neighborhood.

"I don't live here, maybe, in Goma or any other ordinary demon."

Natsukawa says with certainty that the bandit's investigation is working.

"But it doesn't seem like there's anything there."

"Ugh, haunted or something, I don't know if I'm leaving"

Tomorrow, you're right. I, too, think there's something here. Is this another question? Somehow, I feel that skeletons and other inorganic demons like those created by the functions of the dungeons dominate this palace area.

But I don't think there's any haunting, Mr. Little Bird Play.

"Let's go."

And Mr. Twin Leaves, not interested in the palace like a cherry blossom, or alert like the chairman of the committee, speaks indifferently everywhere as if the same stone dungeon continues.

No, I know. She is not of such a character as to be cautious. Different signs of this area, something like that, 'cause she should also understand that as a' mad warrior 'she has a sharp intuition.

Still, it's the same as usual, because for her, whether she looks different or not, this place is just part of the dungeon that needs to be stepped over.

"Oh, we don't know what's coming out, so let's move on with vigilance"

So we started exploring the White Palace area.

At the beginning, of course, Mr. Natsukawa. Right behind you, me and Mr. Twin Leaves go on. From there, cherry blossoms line up with the chairman of the rear guard's committee, and tomorrow, as your lord, that will be at the end of the line. Alone at the beginning and behind, two rows in the middle. This is our basic formation today.

Creepy quiet back, go along the beautiful corridor. pointing my nerves, but so far, I can't feel any signs...

"Huh! Guys, stop"

Unexpectedly, Natsukawa-san's sharp suppression is raised. Before asking what, everyone stopped walking as I said first.

"Keep it up, back up a little bit"

"Okay."

No one doubts the ability of a bandit. Perhaps she sensed a trap.

Only Natsukawa moves forward, as opposed to us retreating just a little. And stop right there.

Drop your hips and jump quickly. For a second or two, we watched over the spit, that's when.

Natsukawa-san jumped all the way back to us. Shortly afterwards, a chandelier fell over her head.

Making a shimmering noise, the crystal-like chandelier is scattered in dust.

"This trap seems to be deliberately delaying the timing of the fall so as to target those who follow it, not those who passed directly underneath... Awful, malicious one, here it is!

Mmm, Natsukawa, angry at the trap setup all the time, was both reliable and adorable.

"Really, you were in danger. If it had gone on like that, it would have fallen just around the cherry blossoms and the chairman of the committee"

"Maybe you're anticipating queuing up at a party to move on. And in the back and middle is a class of magicians who react dull with nature… Miwa is right, it's vicious."

"Perhaps the neighborhood should be more careful about traps than demons."

"Well, I'm counting on you, Natsukawa-san."

"Leave it to me!

Natsukawa, who replied with a bright smile like a twist, was, in fact, truly relied upon.

He said he hasn't even encountered a single demon yet, but then twice the chandelier drop trap is activated. Three pits. Sometimes arrows flew in and spears shook.

When a trap is activated to keep standing so far, I'm starting to understand, somehow, the signs or the hunches. But with a still uncertain sense of weakness, it's very difficult to detect traps as sharply as Mr. Natsukawa did -

Mastery skills

"Trap Detection (Trap Search)": Detect a set trap.

And if I thought, I'd mastered it. I'm sorry about Mr. Natsukawa, so let's just keep quiet. Well, that's more alert eyes in two, and let's try to be good.

"Ah, here! There's a hidden room here!

Natsukawa-san shows a white painted wall with nothing as a delight. I also activate it to remember Trap Detection (Trap Search) and look carefully at the wall...... hmm, I feel like I have a blunt reaction because hidden doors are not traps. But sure, don't feel like a normal wall.

"Maybe it's been a while since I've had a chest!

"If it's a chest in this palace, it's got some amazing stuff in it."

"Yeah, yeah! Yay, you got the treasure!

Honestly, it was Natsukawa, who was very active in trap search, so unconsciously no one stopped her from happily and bravely opening the hidden room.

The white wall slides like an automatic door, opening the hidden room.

"The treasure..."

Natsukawa jumped into the room first, shortly afterwards, stiff.

"Ah... oh, sorry..."

"What's wrong, Natsukawa - Huh!?

If I looked inside, I could see why she solidified with tears.

"Koooooo......"

Inside the white hidden room, there was a pitch-black knight. The back length is nearly two meters and is wrapped in a heavy armored helmet. On a thick big shield, with a harvard with a gritty blade, or a big sword as tall as you are, or a flail of a togette iron ball...... I mean, such a nasty looking black knight was waiting for all three of us.

"Back off! Cherry Blossoms, Chairman!

Evacuate through the entrance to the hidden room. Me and Natsukawa, standing in front of the entrance, avoided rolling and, at the right place, escaped the attack of the Black Knight, who had penetrated us with tremendous speed.

"'Light Arrow (Lux Sagitta)'!

"'Ice Arrow (Eyes Sagitta)'!

Down a certain distance, the attack magic of the cherry blossoms and the Chairman of the Commission is immediately unleashed.

But the Black Knight, who jumped out of the entrance with a shielded bash of a great shield, takes the offensive magic of the two, keeping his shield in place.

"After all, is that shield pretty hard"

A succeeding Great Sword Knight and Knight Flail quickly come out of the entrance into the corridor, taking attack magic unwavering.

Now the three Black Knights are dressed to stand in the corridor blocking our way.

"Brother, you should leave here."

"No, they're big but quick. Show me your back and you'll catch up."

Me and that and Natsukawa tomorrow, and then Twin Leaves, we're going to be able to run away from them, but still we won't be able to do it unless we use martial arts to make the best of ourselves. I don't care what you think of running away with them, cherry blossoms and the chairman of the committee, and little bird games that only possess the power to remain completely human.

"Here, you're going to have to take it down"

"He's stronger... than the boss in line."

The President of the Commission, who is prepared, and that tomorrow, who has come forward in perception of the crisis, breathes ahead of the Black Knight, who emits unusual signs.

We set up our own weapons and confront the black knights who nestle like gatekeepers.

"Aemon, I'll deal with that shield man."

"Mr. Twin Leaves, what's your cover?"

"It's okay, because if you keep the rest down, we'll figure it out."

"Okay, I'll do the sword. I'll leave Flail to Natsukawa and Natsukawa tomorrow."

"I got it."

"What do you mean, flail?

"Miwa, I'm talking about a weapon with an iron ball! I mean, you can tell by the erasure!

"You, Ryoko!

Mr. Natsukawa had a loose exchange during not much of the tension, but the Black Knight didn't come under attack, just jiggling, whether he was reading the air or could afford to give him the lead.

Fine, then, let's be sweet about that attitude and let it go at this time.

"- Kotaro, give me a hand."

At the same time as the signal, if you turn your gaze to the side, Mr. Twin Leaves was throwing a small red nut into his mouth, crushing that.

I don't know, I don 't-- the moment the question came up,

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Blasting, burning temper and magical fluctuations. With an audible ambition, Mr. Twin Leaves stormed like a cannon at a shielded black knight with the momentum he deserved for "Mad Warrior".

Well, I'm late for my exit because of the force.

"Yes, let's go, guys!

The Fairy Square in the Palace area was a sumptuous construction commensurate with the atmosphere here. The fairy walnut trees are cut off beautifully, and the blooming flowers have become a calculated arrangement, obviously shaped as gardens. White monochrome fountains are also more than once large here, and even golden decorations.

But as a function, it's no different from the usual fairy square. As soon as we got here, we took a break.

"Ha... This is a tough neighborhood."

"Yeah, but the harvest was huge."

Drinking the cold water from the fountain and taking a breather, the chairman of the committee sighs.

Indeed, all the demons appearing here were powerful, although the number of appearances was small, including the three black knights lurking in that hidden room. They're stronger than the boss at the beginning of the dungeon for sure.

The demons here looked basically like knights, armed with armor helmets, just like that black knight. I thought it was a full armor skeleton, but there was nothing in the armor.

"Oh, could this demon be him, Durahan!?

"If you're a demon that only moves with armor, don't you say living armor?

After defeating the Black Knight, after such an exchange between Natsukawa and the chairman of the committee, for now, we call him "Living Armor."

This living armor has a steel armor helmet in the first place. Even if you pierce the armor, there is no flesh to hurt you because there is no one inside. I mean, there's no weakness. Normally, it doesn't hurt or itch from them.

Living armor that seemed invincible, but had weaknesses. It's a light attribute.

Cut or poke, the chairman of the committee noticed as he struggled with those who were not frightened to come at him. I'm moving the Living Armor armor, mostly because it's an armored and possessed evil spirit or something like that, so if it's light attribute magic, I'm wondering if I can purify it in one shot.

It's a really game idea, but I just thought so, too. Since I was in elementary school, I've done a lot of RPG stuff, and I've been reading fantastic comics.

Even without such subcultural knowledge, I could be sure there was something because I felt strongly about some unusual sign of magic in the midst of cutting in with that Great Sword Knight in front of me. Since I already know that I am not a creature called the Light Spirit (Lux Elemental), even a magical life whose body was built with magic, I was naturally convinced that a similar being was the main body of the living armor.

And if you realize that, it's early. The cherry blossom "Light Arrow (Lux Sagitta)" aimed at the Great Sword Knight torso armor, which I was hanging and putting in a big crack. The armor itself plays' Light Arrow (Lux Sagitta) 'lightly, but how about delivering it to its inner Galantho - it was a big win.

Inside their armor is where the main spirit is. As soon as the attack of light arrived, a blackened creepy magic spurt erupted instead of a blood splash, as if a man's flesh had been pierced.

After only one hit, the knight turned into agony, and if he was shot in with two, three, black smoke exploded, and shortly afterwards the armor helmet collapsed making a noise with the gallon.

Destroy strong armor with a physical attack and deliver a light attribute attack inside. With the establishment of an understandable Living Armor tactic, Knight Flail, which Natsugawa and Tomorrow were struggling with, was also able to destroy immediately.

If the cherry blossom 'Light Arrow (Lux Sagitta)' passes, 'Protector of Light (Holy Enchant)' similarly makes the weapon impart light attributes. Even if the cherry blossoms don't shoot the bow, if you pass the blade with the light attribute to the inside of the armor with certainty, you can push the living armor to a halt.

This time I was to be greatly helped by the power of the cherry light attribute...... in fact, at the same time I discovered a way to defeat the living armor without the light attribute.

It is to destroy armor until it is completely skinless. It was Mr. Twin Leaves who executed it.

She spotted the weakness and by the time we defeated the two knights, she was beating up the knight with the big shield dented in the bump.

At that time, the Knight of the Great Shield had neither Halbad nor the Shield in his hands, nor Mr. Twin Leaves in his bare hands. But that seemed like enough to take him down.

As Mr. Twin Leaves grabbed up the fallen knight's leg, his right leg of steel was pulled out as it was screaming mechanically and metal. Throw the lifted right leg like garbage, and now put your hand on the left leg. I thought I'd pull that one out, too, and I threw the knight's body with my ankle.

A knight who can be beaten to the floor unconsciously. Twice, three times, as ridiculous as it is to count anymore, doccan doccan beating at continuous and fierce speeds.

Inside, his arms came off, his neck came off... The living armor finally ascended when Mr. Twin Leaves stepped on his rolling helmet and made him pecanco like an empty can.

"That, am I the last? Sorry I'm late to knock you down."

A grinning smile is horrible instead.

This is how 'Mad Warrior' fights. I didn't expect to smash living armor with just 100% overwhelming physical violence. Hey, I don't think I can even imitate it.

"Long time no see, got a good weapon"

A living room armor with a range of strong enemies, but all the weapons they're equipped with are high quality stuff that surpasses Skeleton troops. Not only are there sharp blades, but there are also a few magical weapons.

You can use it as it is, or you can enhance the fusion with the weapons you are used to using in Mr. Little Bird Play's "Smelting Formation". This is where the members' gear is updated simultaneously, and Little Bird Fun was causing her to get annoyed.

"Yeah, I finally got my magic wand too."

Some living armor was a sorcerer type guy with a robe feathering all over his body armor. The long-standing wand, which the chairman of the committee hands with a satisfied face, emits a blue-white glow from the tipped orb, and is anything like a wizard, is a loot from its sorcerer type. Commission Chairman, see the enemy as an ice magician. No, you were shooting it all up fast. You've always wanted it.

In addition to the weapon, Natsukawa-san's inquiry has led to the discovery of several chests. There were a lot of classic potions inside, but some, some magical item-like stuff.

Accessories like rings, necklaces, hair decorations, I somehow can tell by the signs of magic that it's not just an ornament... I don't know what effect it will have until I find out. Even so, I can't even prove it with no hints, so I can only rely on Mr. Little Bird Play, who is also a 'sage'.

"Birds are very busy identifying items to enhance their weapons."

"Well, you just have to take your time"

It's not wacky that rushing ahead is the top priority now. We're at the stronghold, and we're searching the Peach River. Of course, there's no achievement at all, and instead of the whereabouts of the Peach River, I don't even see any traces of people.

It's hard not to have a demon to find just one human from the vast space where some teleports say this supermassive dungeon is also a translocation. After all, if the Peach River hadn't managed to move on, it would be quite unlikely to rendezvous.

It's a dungeon attack that still seems like a long way to go. At this stage, the search for the Peach River seems almost barren, but an area like here where usable weapons and items can be collected would be expected to have great advantages even if it ended empty.

"Aemon, I'd like to go search around here."

Just as I was thinking about the Peach River search, Mr. Twin Leaves came as if I had guessed. No way, it's not really a wacko I guessed. Until just now, she was washing her loot, the Great Shield, with a fountain.

"The battle for living armor was tough, and let's rest a little longer. Besides, I guess we should just leave it near the square today and start a full-scale search tomorrow."

"Yeah, you are. What do the members do?

"Mr. Little Bird Play has a lot of work to do, so as to stay... Cherry Blossoms, Tomorrow and the chairman of the committee can stay, right?

In the meantime, me and Mr. Natsugawa, who can still be detected, are essential members. And the three of you who added Mr. Twin Leaves can travel pretty lightly. Withdrawal at times of need can also be done much more quickly than for full members.

"I'm coming, too."

"Are you sure, committee chairman?

"Yeah, a little more, 'cause I want to use this wand to fight"

Well, it's important to get used to weapons. But is it because of your concern that the Chairman of the Commission seems to enjoy letting the magic go with his cane?

Okay, I'll see you later.

Leaving a soft smile, Mr. Twin Leaves headed to the corner of the non-noisy square to rest.

Truly, the battle against living armor was a streak of fierce battles, far more dangerous than any other demon, and also requiring concentration. Physically and mentally, fatigue is not the ratio of previous areas. No one throws up "tired anymore" because of their weak voice, but their expressions show the color of fatigue that they can't hide. Even I can still afford to fight, but I can't afford it as much as I've ever.

But only Mr. Twin Leaves never ceases to smile, not at all showing how tired he really is, even after the battle and when he is in conversation like this. Enough to be graceful rather than affordable.

"Ha... Mr. Twin Leaves, you're strong"

That's how I get really impressed and crushed.

But how stupid a word that was - I was, that night, going to know.
