Let’s be an Adventurer! ~Defeating Dungeons with a Skill Board~

"A monster has come!"

As the voices rose, the Self-Defense Forces surrounding the barricade simultaneously raised their weapons.

Weapons-Some have long swords and bows.

But most of the Self-Defense Forces had scoops.

The SDF is not an anti-monster specialist.

They deal with all sorts of disasters to protect their homeland.

At one time they face a landslide and at other times they carry sandbags to combat flood damage.

A scoop is mainly used in disaster response.

Scoops are, so to speak, the main weapon for them.

While watching the scoop, they look at the situation calmly.

The only monsters that appeared in the dungeon are Gejigeji and Tanuki.

If you're gegegeji, you'll be able to beat without any problems.

The raccoon may take a little time.

I thought, but it turned out to be okay if I saw their movement.

The SDF's fighting power was higher than the fireflies had imagined.

If two or three people are involved, that quick raccoon is not an enemy.

For the time being, Lotus decided to only take action if it broke through their line of defense.

But outside of the dungeon, the lotus can't use magic.

The level is steadily rising, but I still can't attack with a cane.

Fire Lotus relied on magic for the moment.

In anticipation of this, we had to train so that we could fight with a cane.

But I can't help regretting.

Because stampede has actually begun.

Only dungeons and raccoons still appear in the dungeon.

What happened to the onion monster on the second floor?

Did you eat before you came here?

Thinking of such a thing, the lotus watches the appearance of the demon.

"It's strange ..."

I noticed it about five minutes after the demons appeared.

Stampede is like a monster parade coming out to the outside world.

Nevertheless, the number of demons coming out of the dungeon is unusually small.

Here, the Self-Defense Forces, and even the Parapara and the townspeople, gather.

Despite such a large number of people, it's obviously strange that people are waiting to go out, like a conveyor belt sushi at a fast-eating championship.

Monparé should not be like this ...

Red eyes shining all over.

Demons who fill the passage.

The lotus saw the stampede much larger.

"Maybe sky star?"

There is a good chance that you have thinned out monsters along the way.

But how?

If he's light, he'll be able to attack without being noticed by demons.

However, as expected, it can not be imitated to halve a group like Monparé at once.

What was there?

Will it come from now?

With the doubt of the lotus, the SDF was gradually being pushed.

The cause is fatigue.

This is an unfamiliar stampede, although the defense team trains every day.

Their stamina was slashed by the tension that was different from normal disasters.

One person, one person is hurt by stamina exhaustion, and then withdraws.

As fewer people fight, we are pushed by a few demons.

Because I forcibly step on it, my stamina is further cut off and injured.

Right now, on the defense line, a negative cycle was beginning to take place.

The lotus reaches out to his bag quickly.

He put his hand in the mouth of the magic bag inside and groped to remove the wound medicine.

It's not surprising that the lotus had the magic bag from Seiki.

It's a kind of camouflage.

However, if you take out the wound medicine one after another from a small pochette, there is no point in camouflage.

If you take away what you trust and lend, you can never regain trust with a lotus.

In spite of the emergency situation, the lotus does not panic and pays close attention.

The lotus took out the wound medicine and ran up to the injured person.

When trying to apply to a painful wound just by looking,

"A little bit of you ... um, of the air. Don't touch the wound with your bare hands."

Something bumped into my face.

Rubber gloves hit my face.

I hit a shop clerk, Akane, who is usually taking care of me.

"What is it?"

"Ah, do you know what happens if you apply the ointment with your bare hands? Would it be possible for the wound to get germ-free. In addition, touching another wound with your hand would not spread the infection?"

Certainly her argument is correct.

When treating injured people, infectious disease control is essential.

If a lottery touches her with a nasty virus, such as hepatitis, she cannot take responsibility.

I understand the theory.

However, negative emotions overflow from the bottom of the belly of the lotus.

"That's right, but do you say that? If you were on the line of defense, they might not have been hurt!"

"... I don't know what it is."

"Don't get lost! I'm --- you who work in the shop while you have adventurer qualifications."

"Shhh!"

Akane narrowed her eyes with her index finger on her lips.

Just by that, Lotus had lost words.

Not killing.

An unknown wonder that made me want to get stiffened the lotus body.

"If you have time to get lost, treat it."

She threw a box full of rubber gloves into the lotus as if nothing had happened.

It is a glove for appraisal.

Fire Lotus has seen her fill her while working.

Because it is disposable (disposable), infection control is perfect.

"... Why don't you fight together?"

"I'm desperate to protect the store. I don't want to have a store in front of the dungeon in such a case. Oh, scary, scary."

She crossed hands behind her head, fluently speaking.

I don't do anything at all.

“…………”

There is a lot to say to her. Something you want to hear.

But now I can't say anything.

I have no right to say.

Fire Lotus is a bottom adventurer.

If you don't follow Seiki, you can't use magic,

It's just a waste that can't do anything.

Because of that, the lotus bites the tight lips.

The more you want to do something, the more annoyed you.

The more you become aware of your independence, the more you look at your face.

He has no right to say anything to Akane.

I can't do anything,

The fact that it keeps causing trouble

Being helpless

I'm regrettable ...

The lotus continues to apply ointment to the injured members while biting his lips tightly.

This is what I can do now.

Only this much is useless.

I engrave that reality deep in my heart.

Never forget today.

And to never taste this feeling again.

Members with shallow wounds will be able to return to the front line immediately.

But those with deep wounds may be a bit difficult.

A broken person is impossible. It cannot be cured with ointment.

While treating with ointment, the lotus feels frustrating.

If I have more power.

If more various drugs were in the bag ...!

I can save those suffering from injuries !!

"Ojochan"

A mature male member opened his mouth, smiling, as if he read the anguish of the lotus from his expression.

"Your lady is good enough. It's our role to fight and get hurt on behalf of civilians. So don't suffer. If it's really painful-"

Turn from gentle expression.

The members let sharp light dwell in their eyes.

"--Be strong by the next stampede"

The word is not only for fire lotus.

This old man is also frustrated.

I got injured and left the front ...

So this is determination.

I'll be even stronger by the next day I get into this situation.

Get the power to protect so that no one gets hurt!

Fire Lotus nods vigorously.

Being hurt, bloody and betting on life for civilians.

I am-an adventurer!

``-!?! ''

At that time, the air shook.

The screaming or screaming sound of someone?

The lotus looked back at the person who made the sound.

At that moment, a member who had been sitting down next to him disappeared.

"Uoooooo !!"

He had his weapon-a scoop, and rushed towards the demon.

In front of the demon was a small child carrying a school bag.

Why this place!

Attempts to reflex magically-but it doesn't work.

This is outside the dungeon.

Magic does not work.

While the lotus is scraping the algae, a moving member raises a scoop.

However, the distance to the demon is desperately far.

Rescue is not in time.

A boy slashed by the Black Raccoon exposes a ruthless figure.

Imagine the scene, just before the fire lotus turned away.

"--I want it!"

The Black Raccoon's head digs deep into the ground.

It was not the young men who attacked.

Of course, not a lotus.

It's Akane.

Akane, relaxing in front of the prefab, was instantly moving to this place 20 meters away.

Neither movement nor attack caught the eye of the lotus.

How much is she ...?

"Is it okay? Is there any injury?"

"Yes ... yes ..."

Did you get angry?

Akane reached out and the boy retracted his neck.

But as he got on his hand, the boy gradually weakened.

`` What are you doing !? ''

A middle-aged man running to save the boy suddenly raised his anger

The intense voice intensified the tension of the battlefield.

"I'm sorry! This is full of hands ..."

"I haven't heard of that! I heard why I didn't come to help my child !!

「――Tsu!」

Why did you overlook the monster that slipped through the side?

Did you try to protect yourself and your child?

The members frozen to his words.

After hearing this, Lotus held his chest down.

His wrath surely includes his anger.

Without Akane, the boy was definitely dead.

I couldn't cope with my own power.

Rather than rejoicing for luck, he laments his lack of power.

The words overlap with myself, and the heart of the lotus is painful.

"Tighten your heart! Do not let any monster pass outside the defense line!"

「「 「Hah !!」 」」

The members screamed at once.

I was listening, and even the lotus had a toned tone.

Turn from severe expression.

Male members took over the boy from Akane.

Sit down and smile with a smile.

"What happened to me in this place?"

"That ... but to school ..."

"Oh, it's already school time!"

Hahaha, the man cheerfully laughed and stroked the boy's head.

You have no fault. So don't worry.

The boy relieved his nervousness a bit, in a manner that he advised.

"Thank you ..."

"What, it's your job to protect everyone."

Saying that, I stroked the boy's head again.

The boy's eyes are no longer afraid.

Conversely, Akane and light that longed for men were in his eyes.

I understood the boy's feelings very well for the lotus.

She is also the one who was helped.

The hero who saves me is always the coolest.

There is no other way to yearn or aim.

"Hey, send me this child to school!"

“Hello!

A member who broke off the front line with a broken bone sent the boy in an agile, injured manner.

The boy who helped the boy was already sitting on the prefabricated steps.

He throws his feet out and waving his hand to the boy.

There is no piece of tension.

I reviewed it a bit ...

With her miserable attitude, Lotus had gone unnoticed.

It seems that the middle-aged men were the same.

She smiled bitterly when she saw Akane.

Soon his face distorted painfully.

The previous attack may have worsened the injury.

Fire Lotus hastily applied an ointment to a man's wound.

When it hurts, he screams, as if to complain to a sweet biting puppy.

"... Is that good? Send that child to school."

"It's safer to be in school than to be at home. But ... I have to reconsider the communication during the stampede. Perhaps it was early in the morning and it was hard to get the information."

Certainly, if emergency information had been communicated, the child would not have gone this way.

Or maybe he was at home with his parents.

"It's a lot of challenges, but first we need to get over today."

"Wait, wait! I still have scars ..."

"It's okay. The older grandfather is working harder than the older uncle."

He smiles while pointing with his thumb.

In one corner of the defense, grandfathers wielding agricultural implements in tank tops still maintain their front.

Akane gives the grandfather a yellow cheer.

The grandfather answers the cheers of Akane with his thumb.

... Speaking of which, they were acquaintances.

"I don't know how to lose?"

"my mother……"

"Lick! I'm losing to young ones !!"

Did you hear from this distance?

The grandfather threatened male members with bloodshot eyes.

Indeed, it seems that the members of the team have to bitter.

"I'm a strong grandfather. I've just left logistics support. Maintaining the previous race depends on her young lady's treatment skills. Think so and work hard."

"Yes!"
