Master’s Smile

Episode 23: The Battle of the Flowers

"Whoa!!

A heavily armed man takes an oak attack.

... If it's a man or a boy, it's hard to call him, and in my mind, can I call him a name?

"Ha ha!!

And a light-equipped boy slashes the oak into a stiff gap after the attack.

Beautiful flowers with the dirty blood of oak.

Ooh. They seem strong enough to afford to help people, too.

Well, sometimes the orcs aren't so strong demons, but the way they fight is very much the same.

Good. If we had been known as the Dark Alliance, fighting them might have been inevitable.

"Mr. Longman! Back off if you get hurt!

"Ouch!!

One of the two girls who came after Longman calls on him for a minor injury in an oak attack.

The child wore monastic clothes, like Anato.

But you're just a little different in design. Good. If she was Mastery or something, I might have fainted.

"Dear Angel. Heal him..."

"All right, thanks, Mary!

Touch the man's hand where he was injured, meditate his eyes on her - warm light overflows when Mary prays.

Longman, who was suffering from a minor scratch, gets completely full speed.

... That's the healing magic?

Hmmm...... well, 'to that extent' suppressed the force because the wound healed.

When I fell, I would stick to the comparison because Anato had turned his face bright blue and applied healing magic by the fierce.

That was awesome then. Anato, if I had used all that healing magic, I would have wondered if those who were dead would be resurrected.

Of course, that's not true.

"Whoa!!

The boy - the sword of Yuut, pierced the neck of the oak.

The oak collapsed into the flower garden as it erupted blood.

No matter how much, an oak with a strong life force, you won't be able to fight it if you suffer all those fatal injuries to your neck.

"Gahhhhh!!

"Shit!?

But the other orc that Longman was holding down in that gap ran out for us.

I guess the Quadruple decided it was awesome and targeted us who hadn't fought yet.

It might be a smart choice for an oak, but I'm pretty strong for Laradi anyway, right?

Anyway, if you're here, I need to get rid of you.

That's what I think, and I build up the magic that shoots me in the hand.

"Earth Barrett!!

"Grrr!?

But the orc that was approaching before I fired my magic will be blown to pieces of dirt.

If you think of someone, the girl, the last of the quartet, shot out the magic.

Oh, thank God. Thanks.

"... ugh."

I can tell you that, but I can turn my back on you.

... Well, this can happen, right?

Guild members are different, but I'm the first person to meet... especially when it comes to avoiding girls.

I wonder why...... I'm very careful about cleanliness.

"(Ah. This guy was damaged by the master's handsome smile, wasn't he? If I show you a woman, I will kill you)"

Laradi, why are you staring at her?

"Oh, the last piece of shit got away!!

Led by Longman's voice, he saw the surviving oak running into the woods with a dash.

Two of my buddies got hit, so I guess I decided I couldn't win.

"This... looks like we can't go after him."

When Yut says so and holds his sword, the tension in the battle is eased.

No, thanks. Thanks.

When I told them that in the quartet, Yut looked at us with regret.

"No, we have to apologize for not being thankful. Those orcs were fighting in a different place for us. In the midst of the conflagration, those three fled and rushed after you."

I see. After all, an orc couldn't have come here himself.

I guess I've been intruding into such a promising flower garden because the Yuts were chasing me.

"Sorry!

"Apologize from me, too"

Yut and Mary bow their heads with a peck.

But Longman and the last girl didn't try to apologize.

…………

Larady, I'm not mad, so stop that abominable face.

I'm the only one who's noticed, but I'll be busted someday. [M]

The girl had very vigilant eyes when she looked at me.

Hey, why not...?

In the meantime, I told them that I was not angry and that I was grateful for my help.

"That would be helpful if you said so"

He said he didn't have to apologize.

"Longman!

Ha, Longman seems like a very honest kid.

However, although honesty is a virtue, I think we need to think about it.

At the moment, the atmosphere surrounding Laradi is very cold.

If this kid gets mad, I can't stop him, can I?

"... hey guys, why are you here?

Whoa, that's the first time that girl's talked to me.

Hey, maybe I'm happy.

"It's Lara's walking practice. It's a beautiful flower garden, and they brought me here."

"... hmm"

When Laradi answers the question, she sees us with suspicious eyes.

...... hmm. Apparently, this kid is smart enough.

Not really, I need to be careful not to give you information......

Well, then why don't we ask them what they're here for?

"Oh, we were on our way to the village through the woods on a request. Along the way, I happened to run into an oak..."

So, you're saying you ran after the orc who let you get away and met us?

"Um... if you'd like, could you escort us to the village we were headed to? After all, I really can't stop thinking about it... This forest will be filled with demons, and then we'll make amends if we protect you..."

I come up with suggestions in such a way as Yut is afraid.

Ugh, um... now that I know that Yut has an instrumental personality, is this a little annoying?

Our guild and the village they're headed for will be quite far apart, and in the first place, in demons like the ones that come out of this forest, Laradi, on the contrary, I'm not even my opponent.

Nothing, even if they can't protect us, we'll be able to explore from corner to corner of this forest.

I'd really like to say no...

"What do you do...? Do you want to produce a plant that gives a scent that fills your head?

Laradi clings to me and suggests I blur.

... Yeah, because it's too much.

What's with your head full? How strong are you trying to get him to sniff poison grass?

I accepted Yut's offer to protect the Quartet.
