A few meters from us, there's a lion with a scorpion tail on the face of a human woman.

Manticola thinks we're not the ones to be wary of, and we're watching from afar.

"Oh no... that bug demon brought this guy in sounds like he has a big story about the bug demon... don't get excited, huh? If you do, you're done."

"Doh... what should I do... Mr. Rakhand... what should I do?"

"So far...?

What do we do, we might end up here.

Manticola, Rakhand says, is powerful, uses physical strengthening magic, healing magic, and attack magic, and that scorpion-like tail contains poison, and if stabbed, your body will be paralyzed and you will never be able to move again.

Much more powerful than anything demonic ever was.

The first time I saw him, I was lucky.

"Mr. Lakhand, what shall we do... I..."

"... you want to try one or eight"

"What, there's a way we can get out of here? Mr. Lakhand."

"Hmm... well, it's pretty tight"

He answers with a rather reluctant face.

I guess it's pretty much my wife's hand.

"There are two ways."

"Two...?

"Ah."

I knew advanced people weren't the same to come up with two in this situation.

Mr. Lakhand is an amazing man. My face is scary though.

I admired Mr. Lakhand.

"First one, you put me down and you run... If I were you, I'd buy Manticola 10 minutes, and I could weaken it somewhat."

"I don't like it! Absolutely not! If Mr. LaHand were to sneak in, I'd stay too!

One is to abandon... but then we don't even know if we can get out of this forest safely in the future, and more importantly, Margot grieves. No, I'm telling you I'm with you, so you won't be able to do this way.

So, what's the other one?

"Right. Mr. Lakhand, if Mr. Lakhand and Margot are going to stay, I'm going to stay. No way to do that."

"Oh, I know, this. That's a last resort. So the second. The second one even escapes..."

Oh, even run away? That's all?

I can't, I don't...

"Mr. Lakhand, that's just..."

"Who said we'd run away like that?

"What?"

I knew there was something I could do.

What is it like?

With that in mind, Mr. Rakhand suddenly snapped at me.

"Look, Micah, hold on tight. Hey, Gog! Margot! I can do magic. Get ready, and then you can have a system that makes it easier for me to have you guys!

"Huh? What... what?

"No way, Mr. Rakhand, run with three..."

"Oh, yeah!

Wow... I'm trying to do something amazing...

Sounds good to me when I say masculine, but this, it's impotent...

"So, Gog, Margot. If you have it, do me a power boost magic and speed boost magic!

You hold three people with a boost in power, and a boost in speed makes your escape faster.

I think I should do this.

They looked at each other, then nodded lightly and dressed in a rounded and shrunken outfit.

Mr. Lakhand holds the two.

Um, Margot, is it because you seem so happy?

This is what Mr. Lakhand said to the two of us.

"Hey, Gog. Speed up. Speed up the magic 10 times."

"... overlapping!? If you do that, Mr. Rakhand..."

"Though I wouldn't be able to change my belly on my back. Better than dying, huh?

"Oh... that's all..."

If you overlap it, you have side effects. But Mr. Rakhand has a ready face.

"Please."

"Wow... ok"

He chanted the speed-up magic many times as he was held.

After 10 calls, Mr. Rakhand tries to run out.

"Hey, both of you. If he magically approaches you, you're gonna be dazzled, right? All right?"

"Ugh... yes"

"Okay."

"So, let's go?

Say no or no, Mr. Rakhand runs out at an incredible speed.

If I don't hold on tight, they're going to shake me off.

Manticola seems to have noticed that he has been escaped and is coming after him.

Manticola is also fast. Sure, we're far from Manticola, but the distance hasn't changed that much.

The target is also experiencing an increase in speed. Maybe just once.

You kept running like this and thought you couldn't keep your distance away, Mr. LaHand said this to you, Gog.

"Gog! It's an explosion! Give me as much explosion as you can in front of him!

"Ugh... yeah!

Around Manticola's face, countless explosions occur.

And it looks like Manticola stopped only for a moment with a bad vision.

Mr. LaHand, curved sharply to the right, went sideways for a while before continuing to run at full speed again facing the front.

How long would you have run... I don't see Manticola behind, beside, or obliquely.

Looks like it worked.

But for some reason, Mr. Lakhand won't stop running.

And keep running for 10 minutes.

We soaked the woods and arrived at the entrance.

There is a single carriage parked at the entrance that looks like it has just arrived.
