"... Do you still stand out?"

With that said, Seiki took a mask.

that moment.

`` What-disappeared !? ''

Masatogu has lost sight of Seiki.

“…………”

Seiki predicts Masato's reaction and bites her lips to endure pain.

However, she couldn't stand her knees and shed tears.

It is true that even the eyes of Masatogu, the hero, would be deceived.

It's terrible.

Not much ...

"Does this make me stand out if I enter the Braver?"

“…………”

Sui and Masatog looked away slightly.

――Cock !!

Seiki felt intense pain and held her chest down.

If they had come to recruit, they wanted to say "of course" because they could be lying.

(I can't even lie ...)

Seiki stands up and looks at the sky.

The sunset bleeding at the edge of my eyes is beautiful.

When he reapplied the mask, Masatog exhaled.

Seiki opens her mouth without thinking deeply about the meaning of the breath.

"I'll make this much a joke--"

"joke?"

"……House"

stop!

Don't dig deep!

Accept it as a joke and leave it alone.

Haruki wants to think that his presence is a joke.

"When you enter Braver, you have to be active in Tokyo, right?"

"Well, that's right. The home is Saitama, but basically you'll have to work at Shinjuku Station."

"I don't want to leave Hokkaido if possible."

Seiki once ran to save more.

I wanted to save as many as possible sufferers.

So I reached out.

Reach out, stretch too much,

As a result, it failed.

As Seiki left, the one he really wanted to protect was lost.

Fathers, mothers, sisters, and friends who should have confirmed their safety were later attacked by demons and killed.

Of course, their death is not due to Seiki.

Even if there was Seiki, nothing could have been done.

However, Seiki still regrets, "If I was beside me at that time."

Therefore, Seiki decided on her heart.

Helping people is within my reach.

Masatogu's invitation hit Haruki's heart with a very sweet sound.

If Japan can be saved, if many people can be saved, I want to join Braver.

However, the reach of Seiki is very narrow.

I felt painfully narrow at the first stampede five years ago.

If you go to Tokyo, you will lose what Haruki cherishes.

Seiki thinks that it will be lost.

This town where I lived with my family, this house, the vegetables that can be picked, and the people ...

Seiki wanted to protect the hometown with her own hands.

A home filled with memories with friends.

This house which the family left.

So don't leave important things in Tokyo.

If you leave it, it will be lost out of reach.

[Road to presence to be noticed] ① Manager: Air

"sorry"

It's really air (^ o ^)

I received a very good story today!

It's an extraordinary story, it's a dreadful partition (> _ <)

I was really excited!

However, I declined that story (^ _ ^;)

If you take that story, you won't be able to stay in this town.

I like this town.

It's really a town without anything ...

Before, there was nothing and I felt boring.

But because there is nothing, you can do anything,

I started to notice at this age.

Here I keep fighting to protect this town.

Until the day when this presence soars !!

After posting my blog, I got a comment with "Like".

The comment was from Turen.

"I look forward to working with you"

Seiki returns a comment to Fire Lotus.

"Likewise. Thanking you in advance"

*

Masatog, who failed to recruit the mask, noticed that his hands were sweating.

Sweat is not the only reason why the invitation failed.

Masatugu sweated in his hand because the mask exposed his face.

Immediately after taking off the mask, the masked man disappeared from the spot!

"... I got this one."

When the masked man, who had seen me off, disappeared, Masatog muttered to spill.

Masatog definitely took the lead in the practice game.

At the very end, there was an accident in which the arms were cut off, but it was still Masatugu's victory.

If you hold the long sword, you will be able to get rid of the mask without exerting 70% of the power.

But that's only when you're wearing a mask.

If he fought off the mask from the beginning ...

Elephant, Masatog's back shook.

It was myself that had lost.

I thought he was definitely in the upper hand.

But wasn't he actually supposed to be superior?

He didn't take off his mask because he was out of hand.

Or to conceal their power ...

It may be because he felt sneaky in hiding himself in a practice game and not fighting openly.

It is unknown to Masatug why he did not take off the mask.

But there is one thing I can say.

He will soon be prominent and will certainly be the top ranker.

He had that talent.

He can handle not only his stealth abilities, but also "ki", which has only been acquired by some advanced adventurers.

The proof was that the branch that Masatog strengthened on his own was cut off at the very end.

With care at the level of Masatog, the branches are harder than iron or mithril.

No matter how sharp a weapon is, it cannot be brute force.

In order to cut them off, you must "strengthen the sharpness" of your weapon.

Ki is will.

Various properties are changed by will.

The masked man could only handle "Enhance sharpness".

However, Masatog was able to sharpen the sharpness substantially enough to pay for the fortified branches.

If he gains control in the future, he will be able to use that stealth to climb to the strongest adventurers.

"I can't hide it ..."

Masatog reintroduces.

Japan's strongest. For many people and businesses that support me, I can't afford to take away that sign easily.

If he tries to climb, Masatog will only pull him apart.

"...?"

"here"

When Masatog asked, a man appeared in a place with no sign.

He is a member of Team Braver and is in charge of local intelligence.

In the present age when information cannot be obtained as much as before, good freshness information is important.

Depending on how much fresh information you can get, the speed of the dungeon search will change significantly.

To quickly catch up on new information about dungeons, Masatug has dispatched intelligence services to various locations.

He is one of them, leading the intelligence department.

He, the leader, was equipped with stealth abilities.

That is the skill of his ability so high that he loses shape when he is careless even in Masatogu.

"Watch over that masked man."

"Wish"

Nodding, he used stealth again.

Looking away, Masatugu lost his place.

Masatugu put his watch on the masked man because he was preoccupied with it.

Ki information is not posted on Naruro or other similar information sites.

To keep the average adventurer from learning the skill easily, it is kept secret between the runners sponsored by the company.

If the way of mastery is revealed, adventurers like the former four pots will grow and become uncontrollable.

It's still good if you can handle it, but if you lose control you can hurt the general public.

Adventurers must not kill the opponent to protect.

If so, every adventurer's position would be jeopardized.

Ki is a double-edged sword that can divide and confront the adventurer and the general public.

That said, ki is definitely a necessary skill in dungeon capture.

Therefore, Qi information was sponsored by the company-shared only by identifiable rankers, and strictly enforced gag orders.

The impression that Masatogu fought is that the masked man is not a person who shakes the power gained in the adventure indiscriminately.

But there is an emergency.

For this reason, watch out and check the identity of the masked man.

If he was the one who used the wrong force ...

At that time, Masatog must responsibly remove it.

At that time, not as Ranker Masatugu, but as a special judicial police officer.

Face each other seriously, slash under a blow and throw away.

The next day, Seiki woke up and left the house for the water routine, a routine routine in the morning.

On the way back to the house after pumping water from the well, Seiki suddenly notices something wrong.

"... this is it !?"

It is a sign of human gaze that Seiki does not stop seeking.

When he notices, he puts his bucket and hurries to the one he is looking for.

There was a man ahead of the sign.

A younger man than Seiki.

He must have been sitting there all night.

She has a stubble around her mouth and her face is slightly dirty.

If you see this person in the woods, you must be in a distress.

He wasn't the right person to sit near Seiki's house.

Definitely a suspicious individual.

However, Haruki approaches the suspicious person with carelessness.

Loosening the corner of the mouth and widening the nostrils ...

"... nfu"

Do you see it?

You see it?

Seiki felt a glance that she couldn't easily get from her real face, and Haruki stood in front of the man with excitement.

"Good morning. The weather is good today!"

“…………”

When I talk, there is no response.

Instead of seeing Seiki talk to the man, he has not moved his gaze from a while ago.

I'm staring at Seiki's house.

"...?"

Are you asleep?

Seiki makes repeated side jumps in front of the man.

But,

"Ugu ..."

The man's black eyes did not react to Seiki's appearance.

You can continue to jump sideways until your opponent notices it, but you may be worried about your head when you notice.

If you notice it and think it's too late, it's going to take a toll on your heart.

Therefore, Seiki quit the recurring leap and returned to the house.

(Yeah, I was asleep. He was sleeping with his eyes open!)

Haruki who thinks so is

"... It's 5 o'clock. No movement yet."

The voice of a man heard from behind makes me realize the reality.

The man was not sleeping.

He was not sleeping with his eyes open.

Nevertheless, there is nothing in Seiki in front of me.

“…… Kuu !!”

Seiki looks up at the sky and snots.

Today has just begun.

Not good yet.

Still, do not break.

Someday, surely, the day will come when you will have a strong presence!

With so much in mind, Seiki brought the slightly salted water into the house.
