Episode Four: Is This Guy Really a Divine Sword...?

"The more daughter-in-laws you have, the better my performance!

Uh? Okay? What are you talking about?

"My wife is not my daughter-in-law. To be precise, it's not about the person who made a love pact with the Lord. And the more family princesses there are, the more power we have!

"Ha"

I accidentally leaked a dry laugh.

"I'm telling you, I've been single for thirty-seven years, right?

"The past can be the past."

"No opponent"

"How's your daughter this morning?

"You can't."

'This! Don't give up from the edge! Even before, your lord is still there, isn't he?

"He's dating Lake in the first place."

"If you plunder it, no!

Plundering... is this guy really a god sword...?

In any case, this ability doesn't seem to have any edge on me.

It's just too good for the current situation.

Wenus kept calling, but listening appropriately, I decided to look for the next oak.

I kept hunting for a while.

It's not like the first one was Maghre, and then he said, "Were you this weak?" It's so easy to crusade an oak that you can clap it out without thinking.

And now again, before my eyes, the torso of the giant broke in two and turned to ash.

It's as sharp as ever.

"Hmm. This stuff's still a long way from what it once was."

You were angry at me for being ignored, whining like Wenus was obstinate.

It was evening and I decided to go back to the city.

I was able to crusade over ten orcs today that I hadn't been able to defeat for a long time.

Got quite a bit of material too.

Making a lot better money than adventuring a day at the Lakes' party.

You don't have to be at that party anymore, when I was determined to leave in my heart,

…… There's someone over there. "

I stopped.

Plains on the way back to the city.

It's a beautiful spot, so I can see quite far, but I saw multiple figures about a kilometer away.

That's a threesome...... aren't those the Lakes?

If you stare, it was, indeed, Lake, Mary and Saluja.

They don't really want to see me, even though I'm supposed to be someone else with Lucas right now. I was just thinking about taking a detour... and I realize I do.

They haven't moved since earlier.

All three of them turned in one direction, keeping their hips low - and seemed to be in a state of battle.

Turning my gaze, I discovered another creature about a few meters from them.

It was a fairly large demon, about three meters long.

"No way, Killing Panther!?

A leopard demon with sharp claws and fangs.

C above oak in the degree of danger specified by the Adventurer Guild.

Moreover, it is equivalent to the top among them.

The Lakes will soon have just enough talent to get promoted to C-rank, but now they still have D-rank.

Perhaps in them, it will be difficult to crusade without harm, even if it takes three.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Why does a guy like this come out here like this?!?

Lake cursed his own bad luck, backing forward the mighty enemy that suddenly appeared.

There was one in the grass up ahead.

Killing Panther.

He is a fierce leopard demon with frightening agility and eating his prey with sharp fangs. Sometimes it is destroyed from village to village by just one, the degree of danger of which is positioned at the top of the C-rank.

I was approaching this one with dignity, without concealing myself, whether I had the confidence to be sure that I would be punished.

If there was that luggage holder here right now...... and Lake bites his teeth.

I would have tried to get away with it immediately.

But Hate, we weren't together today.

Damn it! You can't use it at this pivotal moment. That's the one!

Even assuming these cases in the first place, he said he added a guy to the party who wasn't much of a force for war either.

"Grrrrrrrr......"

Killing Panther is already approaching the end of his eyes and nose.

Lake thinks desperately.

Can you fight and win the C-rank demons properly?

I can't.

For example, one way.

"Hey, Lake!?

Lake turned his heels back and set aside his people to begin the escape with all his might.

Did Seaf's Saluja have the same idea, escaping at about the same time?

It was Mary who was delayed.

Besides, she's the slowest leg of these three, and her distance from the two keeps moving away.

"Hey, Lake!? Why are you running first? You're a swordsman, right?

A curse flies from behind, but Lake ignored it.

I can't replace my belly on my back.

Lake had the soul nerve to sacrifice her and escape.

Shortly after, Killing Panther kicked the ground.

They accelerate all at once and run after the three of us at a tremendous rate.

"Wait! Please! Help me!

Mary's voice changes from a curse to a sad tear.

Killing Panther's sharp fangs were already looming right behind her.

Lake and Mary were not only the same party members, but lovers to each other.

But Mary has been having an affair for a long time, and I've seen her with other men several times before, and she's had fights.

Still, Lake has endured so far.

Even today.

He was obviously using color on the first guy he met who came to deliver a message from Lucas. That is how Mary is.

"... it pays off"

That made me feel somewhat free from guilt.

"Ahhh!?

I heard a tall scream from behind.

I can't afford to look back, but perhaps Mary has become the food for Killing Panther.

Having to earn distance now, Lake moved his legs diligently.

But then, I heard footsteps from behind.

Scary signs of approaching with fierce momentum.

"Become?"

What I accidentally looked back at in Lake's eyes was this giant jumping at me for it.
