Legend

Not long before Augusto was raided, Daridora had heard reports from her men in the store.

"I see. Tyra's tree has no problem, he said. That's for sure, isn't it?

Asked was a man dressed in white.

... He hasn't done most laundry in a long time, so it was getting dirty and difficult to call it white.

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with you. Just..."

"Just?"

"No, research funding is a little more... I'd like a little more if I could."

"Again? I remember hearing the same thing about a month ago and paying for it."

Daridora's neurotic face distorts uncomfortably.

Even if it is the Elamaic Chamber of Commerce, which has great influence in Gosh, in the end it is in the city of the small country of Sollain… or even the capital or nothing.

Naturally, the amount that becomes free is not inexhaustible. … but I still have the financial resources to gather skilled adventurers from neighboring countries.

But he didn't seem to care about Daridora like that at all, and the man in white goes on to say it.

"Yeah. I don't think there's much of a problem as it is now. But most of them are not complete. As it stands, maybe... maybe really, but we can't deny the possibility that Tyra's tree will take hostile action against people."

"I've never heard of Tyra's tree harming people before."

It was Daridora's words spouted with sigh, but the man in white shook his neck sideways saying it was outrageous.

"As Lady Daridora says, it may never have been attacked before. But that's only ever, and the Tyra tree has lived with very little human connection to this day."

"... I mean, until now there has been no damage because there was a thin connection between people and Tyra trees, and if you imitate like planting Tyra trees around walls like I'm moving on, you think there might be damage? Kutga, I didn't hear that when you brought it."

"It's a possibility. It's only a possibility. But you should crush the seeds of anxiety, right?

To the words of a man called Kutga, Daridora exhales small and thinks.

It has already been reported that the nine-ninth-centimetre Tila tree is safe. So I was wondering if it was necessary to make sure the safety of the Tyra tree until I put out more additional funds.

(However... I am asked for certainty to assure Mr. Lewbrand of my reassurance. It's something I can't help thinking about)

Still, Daridora's reluctance was due to her inquiry as an adult merchant.

The money I'm putting out is being used by Kutga to research Tyra's tree.

I could see that from the books, and I was certain because they actually yielded results.

But... Still, I wonder if I can trust Kutga as I am a merchant.

(No, this is where things are going. There's no point in hesitating here. more than……)

Summarizing her thoughts within herself, Daridora eventually opens her mouth.

"Okay, let's admit additional funding. Before we do that, let me take a look inside the lab, okay?

"Yeah, of course. I'll show you my lovely Tyra trees. Okay, let's go. Let's go now!

If you are embezzling funds or using them for something different from research, do you honestly nod when you are told you are going to the laboratory?

If it were normal, I would say no right away.

More than that, maybe the funds are being used normally.

Though he thinks that way, Daridora rises from the chair she was sitting in.

"Okay, let's go. Fortunately, there's no rush business in here today."

Whimpering, Daridora leaves the room with Kutga.

The laboratory that I left to Kutga was on the edge among the gosh, and that's why there was a distance to walk around.

In addition, Daridora is not always free only at the meetings of the Eléma Chamber of Commerce.

I tried to get into the carriage with a skilled adventurer, as usual, in order to make the journey a little shorter...

"Wait, Master Daridora!

One of the escorts moves forward in front of Daridora, who screams so and tries to reach the carriage with his long sword in his hand.

A moment late, the other escorts take a formation that surrounds Daridora.

At the center of that formation, next to Daridora, there is also the figure of Kutga, who hastily looks around without knowing what is going on.

"Dear Daridora? What the hell..."

Kutga asking Daridora beside herself, but it was Daridora's tough and tight look that brought her back to it.

He was usually a nervous Dalidra, but from Dalidra today he has a strong color as a meeting of the Erema Chamber of Commerce with strong influence over Gosh.

"Here they come!

Three men show up at the same time as the first man to advise Daridora screams.

"Who is it!

One of the escorts screams so, but soon learns that the inquiry was pointless.

Because the three people who showed up threw bubbles out of their mouths and their eyes were stained with madness.

'Awwwwwwwwww!

The three of them scream and set up a dagger in their hands and head straight for the escorts.

No, it wasn't the escort the three headed for, it's definitely Daridora at the center of it.

It was possible that some of the escorts were being targeted, but Daridora would be most likely if they still told me who was being targeted in here.

"Prevent it! There are three enemies, all amateurs alike!

The first man in the escort to notice the three appearances screams.

The other escorts have been bought that arm and hired by Daridora.

I knew right away that the three men attacking me against me were never hands-on.

"Ha, I wonder what the hell these guys are madly imitating like this"

"Know what? Don't be more alarmed than that. If he dies in a place like this, he won't be in shock."

"Right. But there's no way that enemies can do something about this... Shit!

With that word, one of the escorts quickly squeezes the bow and shoots the arrow.

The upright flying arrow pierces the torso of the three leading men attacking him in different dimensions...

"Hey, what's going on with this!

It was the woman who shot the arrow, not the man whose arrow stabbed her.

That would be natural, too. Because the leading man runs toward himself without looking like he cared for any pain or anything, even though the arrows are piercing him.

If it's normal, if an arrow is anything like poking your hands and feet or... let alone your torso, the movement will be dull.

The pain itself can be managed with the excitement of battle, but because the arrows themselves get in the way.

An arrow that is piercing the body as it moves inhibits its movement.

But... the three of us who just attacked Daridora don't show any signs of that.

You're in the way of moving your body, but you don't give a shit about it.

It would also be natural for a woman with a bow in her hand to raise her voice of consternation.

"Calm down! If you look at that, it's not surprising if they're blunt in pain! If the pain doesn't slow you down, you just have to be unable to move directly!

The leader of the escort shouts to Daridora, who is at their center.

"Dear Daridora, I'd like to rule them out because it's hard to capture them, okay?

Do you mind? I'm asking, but the man isn't asking Daridora for permission.

Just knowing that, Daridora also nods back instantly.

"Okay. If Narsus says so, I guess it's impossible to capture him. Do as you please."

It was usually Daridora, who wouldn't even hide how nervous she looked, but should I just say the meeting of the Eléma Chamber of Commerce.

He says his life is being targeted, but he doesn't look scared at all.

No, Daridora is a merchant and she's not training herself like an adventurer.

It doesn't mean you're not feeling scared.

I just haven't put that on the table.

I guess there's only one person around here who also leads the largest chamber of commerce in a gosh called the Erema Chamber of Commerce.

"Master Daridora gave me permission! Let's go, we'll destroy them!

Follow the voice of the man who is wrapping up the escort called Narsus and head from among the adventurers who were around him to the men who are approaching.

(He doesn't seem to have felt any pain, but as far as physical movement is concerned, his strength itself is low. Then we should be able to do something with our power)

Narsus decides that because of his complacency that he has been gathered as an arm-writer from the surrounding countries.

That the decision was never wrong is lightly proven by the three people who intercepted the raiders.

The attack unleashed by the three escorts did nothing to those who attacked them, but died lightly.

It wasn't like the three of us didn't feel the pain, but that's not how we can handle a hands-on adventurer.

The three raiders will go on a journey to death without taking a minute to get their necks amputated, torso amputated, hands and feet amputated...

Even if the three die, Narsus will not loosen his guard and look around.

We've attacked ourselves, so I didn't think it was going to end this way.

There are second and third raids. That's what I thought and I was wary of my surroundings...... no sign of any new raiders in particular.

Instead, passers-by who were watching the current exchange scream and gather the others who heard the scream.

"Dear Daridora, this place is dangerous. You should go back to the building..."

"Right."

Daridora thinks a little and eventually nods.

"Kutga, unfortunately, I will be visiting you again about the Tyra tree. This raider is supposedly after me, but I can't deny the possibility that Kutga was targeted. You should evacuate to our shop for a while."

"Uh... yes, that's right.... I wanted to go back to the lab as soon as I could."

It was Kutga telling her in sigh, but still doesn't imitate Daridora's words against her.... No, I can't.

Because Kutga understands that he is only a researcher.

If something strikes me, I don't think I can do something about it, like the battle that's taking place right now in front of me.

I knew they would definitely kill me with no hands, no legs.

More than that, the moment I tried to return to the store, following Daridora's saying that once I was evacuated to a safe place...

"Dangerous!

Such a voice echoes around him, and suddenly two people, Daridora and Kutga, are pushed hard from behind.

"Damn!"

And screaming that goes up.

No, that's not the only scream.

"Bye!

"Crouch!"

"Ha!

Painful screams that go up one after the other.

When Kutga turned aggressively, there were many humans holding back their bodies and screaming.

Some of them are screaming, like Daridora.

I was surprised to see how it was, Kutga, but I rushed to check my body.

Maybe I have a reason why the others are screaming... because I thought the arrows might be sticking in my body.

In an excited current situation, wouldn't you notice if the arrow was stabbed?

I rushed out of that thought to check all over my body, but fortunately I didn't get hurt anywhere.

... Most of all, this is nothing more than pure Kutga luck.

In fact, if Narsus hadn't pushed me earlier, the arrow would have stuck me in Kutga's head.

"Kah!"

"Whoa, what? What happened!

"Mr. Daridora was attacked!

"Who did such an imitation!?

"You know what!

Dalidra and Kutga return to the store with the screams coming up from their surroundings intact again.

Having seen it through, Narsus quickly looks around while holding back the wound he received sheltering Daridora.

The number of arrows flown in was over ten.

Given that it was almost simultaneous, it's not something one or two people can do.

Beyond that, let one or two of them capture for sure.

I look around with that in mind...... only Gosh residents are at the end of my gaze, and not a single one of them has a bow.

"... what's going on?

I think there must be someone out there because I've been attacking all that.

But such thoughts are nowhere to be seen as raiders behind their backs.

Damn, you let him get away with it.

The only thing Narsus could do was throw it away and then head back to the store to make sure his employer was safe.
