A hundred-person expedition.

Whether you see that number as low or high will vary from person to person.

But if you try Ray, it was surprising enough that eventually more than a hundred Centaurs came together.

… Nevertheless, some of those hundreds specialize in cooking, others in other chores.

At first... when the numbers were small, everyone often did their own chores, but from now on, I get busy with reconnaissance.

Then someone decided that it was better to do the work of the hand, and when Zai was going around several settlements, he brought them in as well.

Of course, I didn't bring you here forcefully.

Such people have said they want to move on from themselves and work together.

If you try the Centaurs in this meadow, crushing the home of Dragonias is absolutely necessary for you to survive.

And above all, you can get the honor of joining a scout team even if you're not actually on the scout.

For the proud Centaur, honor means so much.

Not to mention that it was too honorable to join a reconnaissance team to find the home of Dragonias, who had the momentum and strength as if it were going to drive out the Centaurs, once known as the Prairie Champions.

Less, even the descendants - only if we can win this survival competition - will definitely be told off.

The face of such a reconnaissance team is currently running through the meadows.

Getting ahead is Zai.

Ray wonders if whoever is supposed to lead the scout team will run at the head of the force, but I guess this neighborhood is something like its characteristics and nature as a centaur.

Right behind such a zai, Seto runs with Ray and Vihera on his back.

The other Centaurs also continue to run through the meadows to see what's going on around them... eventually Zai slows down that speed.

Given Centaur's speed, that's not surprising if he slows down to run forward, but fortunately Centaur didn't imitate hitting forward runners to that extent.

"All right, I'll make it lunch. In the meantime, we'll reconnaissance from here and decide how we're going to split up, so I want one of you from each settlement to gather where I am and eat."

With that word, each begins to prepare a meal.

Nevertheless, we just eat instead of camping.

For this reason, when Ray takes the food out of the mistering, the people in charge of cooking will quickly prepare lunch with it in their hands.

Something like preparing firewood or talking to a centaur from another settlement is happening while the food is being cooked.

Even in the same Centaur, some say this is the first time they have met Centaur in a settlement with no interaction.

Having a conversation with such an opponent to deepen mutual understanding would still be necessary in carrying out the act of this reconnaissance.

Essentially, reconnaissance is supposed to take place with the settlements as part of the force, but in some cases because of the number of people and their abilities, they really have to move with the other settlers.

That is why it was necessary to talk to the other settlers in this way to ensure a firm mutual understanding.

However, if it is a different settlement, then naturally, there will be people with different values...

"Don't be ridiculous! How could that happen!

"You're the one who's kidding!

Due to differences of opinion, as a matter of course, it is not uncommon for things like this to be contentious.

Nevertheless, not many people see such a contention and show confusion.

I guess it's because the same thing has happened many times before.

… although the settlers who had joined the last showed confusion.

"Hey, dude. Don't you have to stop me?

"Leave him alone. One of these days we'll stop... if we don't stop..."

Centaur, who has joined the reconnaissance team at the last, questions its meaningful words.

But before I hear what the hell that means, things move.

"Cut it out. Make a noise nearby as you prepare your meal. If you want to do it, do it farther away. Otherwise... you're gonna have to punish me?

That's what I said, only two two-legged people exist in this group...... Vihera.

To the appearance of such a vihella, the majority of those who watched around thought this would put an end to the commotion.

A handful of people don't know why their surroundings behave like that...

"Don't be ridiculous! What's two-legged flair gonna say to me!

"Stay away, you two-legged woman!

The two contenders shout at Vihera because they were both in a minority position.

To such a cry, many who were reminded of their strength so much that they disliked it in a simulated battle with Vihera hold their faces in such a way as Aha.

Because he understood that it was nothing but suicide.

But the two contenders are excited, so they don't even notice what's happening around them.

"Yes."

Vihera, who whined briefly, approached the men in dispute.

Naturally, you must have seen Vihera, who was also approaching the men in dispute, and understood that they were trying to do themselves some harm.

As if it were a lie to be in contention until a few seconds ago, we each adjoin each other and set ourselves up towards Vihera.

(I wish I'd done that from the beginning)

Though frightened, it's a good opportunity for the two of us in front of you to show off against Centaur, who is still insulting himself and Ray.

Think so, Vihera's legs close to the two Centaurs don't look like they're going to stop.

Of the centaurs, one feels the unobtrusive force from the vihela approaching him… half reflexively, waving his fist up.

Only to be chosen as a scout team, whose strength is never low.

All I could say was that it was unfortunate that I could not imitate it because I was excited or because I felt the strength of Vihera.

"Noooo!

With those words, fists to be waved.

That fist, released straight, turns to the face of Vihella.

Some...... many people, especially those who still don't know what Vihera is capable of, scream unexpectedly when they see things like that.

But it was only natural to think that if one were to know the strength of Vihela, what the hell would that degree of blow mean?

If that's how we can strike Vihela, we're not struggling in a mock fight.

Naturally, Vihera dodges that blow… exploits the opponent's movements and throws them as they are.

The lower body called Centaur was more challenging than against humans, just the horse's opponent, but Vihella's fighting sense...... no, with combat sense, that degree of adjustment is not difficult.

Lightly knocked down to the ground, Centaur is stuck breathing due to its impact.

"Whoa, whoa, what the hell..."

If this were to be hit back with a blow to the counter, you would have figured out how you got hit.

But now Vihera used her opponent's power to throw it.

In other words, close to Aikido and Judo.

I heard from Ray that there are such martial arts in Japan, and I tried them because this is a good opportunity... unfortunately, I still can't imitate things like using them completely for Vihera.

"Well, what do we do? If you're coming, I'll deal with them."

That's just right for my training partner, so call me.

It was a word with that in mind.

The other centaur that was left, I guess that felt too.

I don't know, I'll be back in a few steps.

But that's how Vihera retreated... even the person who instinctively admitted his disadvantage has no more means of missing it here than he needs to be shown off.

"Aren't you coming? If you're gonna keep running, we're not going after you anymore?

That's a word you'll never hear for the proud Centaur.

No, I know some people have different criteria for judging that area, but for this Centaur, the option of fleeing here didn't exist.

If this were the likes of Zai, Asdena, and Dolphina, they would have chosen to leave once and for all without straying.

"Ugh... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

I stepped back to help out.

All I'm saying is that, Centaur builds momentum and punches him towards Vihera.

Just watching the flow earlier, a blow with caution not to be taken by the detour.

That, too, is not a fist, but a foot...... a blow with a horse's foot.

It is generally said that the force of the foot is three to five times that of the arm, but that is only the case for a normal person.

In the case of Centaur, whose lower body is a horse, the strength of its feet is not comparable to that of a human foot.

Attack with that leg.

... However, naturally, when it came to an attack using a horse's foot, it was not possible to use a kick like the one played out by a human being, and what the man took was a stepping stone.

"Oh."

It was Vihera who uttered a short word, but it was astonishing to hear it around and to be floating in the faces of those who watched.

Whatever, I saw myself from heaven - it was a little daunting - because I took the blow of the hoof that I had been waving.

Of course, I didn't just take it by force from the front.

A perfect combination of weight movement and body movement allowed most of the power to flow to the ground.

On top of that...

"Wow!

Just gently twisted his grabbed leg out of balance, and Centaur falls straight to the ground.

Nor did the first Centaur get beat to the ground that hard, but this time with a lot of momentum.

The sound that resonated around me was only powerful enough to surprise those who were watching.

"but..."

Due to the impact slammed to the ground, Centaur is also unable to speak.

"Well, is there anyone else complaining?

It was a vihella to tell you so, but naturally no one would imitate it like a pinch in the mouth against it.

If you say you have any complaints, no doubt the next time you will be beaten to the ground like that, because it is obvious.

Live with the earth, die with the earth.

That's Centaur, but that's why I wasn't going to enjoy being tapped to the ground in any way.

"I'm sorry, could you put it around there?"

It was one Centaur who broke the silence and approached me saying so.

He's just the same settlement guy as Centaur who got slapped to the ground with his leg.

Such a man and Vihera, silently exchange their gazes.

The Centaurs watching what was going on around them were nervously watching over things like what the hell was going to happen...

"Right. Well, let's keep it around here."

Unexpectedly, that's one word that came out of Vihera's mouth.

I was just looking at the scene that quickly defeated the two Centaurs, and I guess I didn't think Vihella would get this light spear either.

The Centaurs were also surprised to see what was going on around them, but Ningro's most surprised would be the man who spoke to Vihera.

That's why I even thought I might have to go to war with Vihera at worst.

That's why Vihera's words and actions were totally unexpected.

As for Vihera, all we need this time is to show off.

I guess the two of us who were rambling decided that we didn't need to do this to the man we've been talking to more than show off.

... Now, if the man you've been talking to is also the kind of person you look down on because Vihella has two legs, a third show could have been born as well.

Fortunately, however, the opponent who had spoken had seen the sight of those in his settlement and those in other settlements showing off… On top of that, he spoke politely because he had just the strength to feel the difference in power from Vihera.

Thanks to this, it's a missed form from Vihela.

"I'll tell this fool here"

"Yeah, do that. But even we're coming together from all kinds of settlements, so if you're imitating yourself... you're gonna die, right?

That is by no means daunting.

There must be a lot of dragonias at the base the scouts are looking for.

Dragonius is basically stronger than Centaur.

And what happens if you lose to Dragonias... that's what you don't even have to think about.

They'll eat you to death.
