Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?

Lesson 26: The Thing That Waits Beyond Its Door (2)

- Wake up hah. Looking around, it was a battlefield.

In the hall of the Western Hall, the cards of each master are fighting to protect us from the fallen.

The opponent of the battle was apparently a few goats. I'm subtly unsure because that was far from the goat I knew.

The body, about two metres long, has no body hair whatsoever and black scalp is visible, and the lower body has countless tentacles as if it were the roots of a plant. When he said he looked far from such a goat, why did he think I was a goat monster, he said from his mouth, which grew all over his upper body, "Meh heh! Meh!" because the tall squeal was leaking out.

He said he looked so blasphemous, but all he could say was creepy because he smelled inviting sweet honey.

This...

"Have you finally woken up? Whoa, whoa."

Lianhua, who noticed me when I woke up, laughed and said.

"But well, I forgive you for getting up properly"

"I was... losing my mind?

I shake to wake up the master who is falling next door, but there is no sign of waking up.

Condition abnormal...? But the barrier should prevent abnormal conditions to the master...

"Probably that kind of gimmick. The spirit of the master is wolf, and the cards are attacked by child goats... that's the kind of division of roles.... rather than that, it's time to connect the links. It's hard and hard to work together."

Lianhua says as she unleashes her magic toward the goat.

So I finally realized that the link to the card was broken. Besides, the cards are only on the field with Lianhua and Yuki, and their family Lycanslope. Anna's cards are just the two cards she was summoning just before.

I rush to reconnect the link and summon the rest of the cards as well.... Again, the summons restriction itself seems to be extended. Besides, are the badges and distress signals inaccessible? After all, that contact from Jing also seemed hallucinating. Urgent evacuation… Can't Anna and the others try it in this state? Well, it won't be worth it anyway.

I asked Lianhua for confirmation.

"Didn't the barrier prevent the state anomaly to the master?

"It's not a state anomaly. That's the 'rule'. Barriers to cards are one of the rules to be interpreted. Until the same rule cannot be deactivated '

Rules, huh?

From the C-rank, field effects are added to the hierarchy… I hear that something like a kind of rule is added.

Reinforce certain races, make recovery magic unusable, and limit the number of summonses less... If this was one of those rules, then I can also nod that it can't be prevented by the barrier.

Did Harmeln's whistling man not use a trick like that because he didn't have the ability to say so... or because it was manifestation in the F-rank labyrinth?

And the aim of the gimmick to separate this master from the card is probably......

I looked over.

Again, the cards of the masters move badly. The link is broken.

You may take it for granted that you are losing your mind, but when you are also in the professional adventurer class, you can keep the link connected while you sleep. Anna and I can't do it. But a master can do it.

I mean, this is a gimmick whose purpose is to cut off links between the master and the card.

I guess I'm the only one awake and the traps are hung independently of each other because the masters are still asleep.

But......

"Why isn't my master awake? If you are a master... and Anna must also have knowledge of the Irregular Encount called Wolf and the Goat of the Seven Sons'

Ask Lianhua for help with the links to the cards.

Written exams to become professional adventurers will require knowledge of monsters, in addition to legal knowledge, he said. Naturally some of this stuff was against Irregular Encount.

Then the master and Anna should also know about this gimmick.

'I don't know. I knew halfway through life but I either caught it for it, or I took it off a half......'

'What do you mean?

'If you only know information about fairy tales, you're right to open the door. If you know it's that kind of gimmick, you're right not to open the door the other way around. And if you know both of those traps, you have to hit a half. Maybe it's a trap that fluctuates depending on their knowledge...'

A trap that fluctuates depending on the other person's knowledge, that's what......

No, on second thought, like Sphinx's riddle, skills with widespread tactics change the subject. If testing the wisdom and courage of the other person is a skill of purpose, it's not strange to have a trick to interfere with answers in knowledge.

"So, what can I do to wake the masters?

'Give it up now. Doesn't happen yet means you probably missed the answer. Unless you defeat this enemy, you probably won't wake up. "

From Lianhua, who said so, something like a slight guilt was conveyed through the link.

That's probably because...... there's no guarantee that Anna and the others will wake up after defeating this Irregular Encount.

The boys and girls, once considered old by Taro Urashima, who appeared, never returned to normal after defeating Taro Urashima.

Some of the damage caused by Irregular Encount will have sequelae.

But now we just have to fight believing that if we take them down, Anna and the others will wake up.

Therefore, I guess Lianhua didn't say that either.

That's where I come up with the fu.

"Maybe this isn't in hallucinations yet, either, is it?

I answered my words like Lianhua was stunned.

"If you're still asleep, why don't we just get him up in a binta?

"I'm kidding."

Yeah, he's a real lotus hua.

I'd be in trouble if you told me to give you grounds, but I was certain.

Then there is no more straying.

Now all I had to do was focus on attacking the enemy in front of me anyway.

'From what I've seen, the hell you don't seem so strong...'

The goats moved quickly, with tentacle legs, walls and ceilings crawling around just like the floor, and even paralysis poison and other things seemed to be troublesome in the nails and fangs, but their fighting power itself seemed to hold only about C-rank.

"Oh, but..."

Turning to the end of Lianhua's gaze, Aradia, the master, was just about to defeat the united goat.... looks familiar to me. Probably the one ranked up by the wich fought during the tournament.

A goat whose head was pierced by the magic of Aradia into a rock spear disappears to melt.

But as it was replaced, a new goat soon emerged from the back of the hall.

This...

"As you can see, knock it down or knock it down, it springs from next to next. Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be more than six... '

"... six?

To Lianhua's words, look around.

Oh well... they are seven child goats!

There must be no one here because they're hiding somewhere.

Perhaps if we find Soytz, the child goats will disappear... or they will no longer be resurrected.

Where are you? Where are you? Where did the seven child goats hide in the fairy tale?

That's when a big old clock caught my eye.

Right... Column clock! Break this...!

I tried reflexively to order Lianhua to destroy the pillar clock - and I stuck there.

No, wait. Are you sure that's a good idea?

I know there's a seventh hidden in the column clock because I know the answer: fairy tale.

However, in earlier traps the knowledge of the fairy tale was, on the contrary, avenged.

If it comes to following the flow, I'd rather...

"Door, Yuki! Open the door!

"!? Yes!

While Yuki was surprised by my sudden instructions, he immediately headed to the door.

Then the movements of the child goats obviously changed.

Like in a hurry, it strikes Yuki, who heads to the door.

Yuki opened it gently, trying to kick through the door.

That moment.

- - Aohhhhhhhhhhh!!!

From afar, a wolf howled.

The goats, the sons who heard it, fled all over the hall to scatter the spider sons.

Again! Killing child goats is the role of wolves! That's why we couldn't take him down.

Then the role of the column clock is......!

When I opened the lid of the column clock, it somehow led to the meadow.

"Hey! We're getting out of here before the wolves get here! Take charge of your own masters!

In my voice, each card carries its own masters and runs to the Column Clock.

So, finally, the wolf showed up.

"Gagggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!

A wolf comes into the hall, shrinking its body cramped much larger than the door.

The outline was covered in red and black shadows, not sure, and I was under the impression that it was like the crumbling graffiti of a child's painted dessant.

"Gi-hi-hi-hi!"

The wolf saw us. A malicious grin that freezes the beholder.

Look at the column clock. There the first master was finally about to pass.

Ku... I can't help it!

"Cro! Shilo! Stop, please!

"- Grrrrrrrr!"

On my command, two werewolves face the wolf with their voices.

This should buy us enough time to manage to escape. I feel guilty about turning them into abandoned pawns, but I can only entrust this role to them who are practically immortal.

The master went through, then Anna, the last time the weave tried to go through... then.

"Gah!" "Gah!

The wolves who saw us escape are coming to shake off the werewolves.

As soon as I saw that eye, I understood what the enemy was after.

Bad............! He's going to destroy the Column Clock...!

It's inevitable! Even the weave alone goes through here!

When I made up my mind to do so, there was a shadow coming up against the wolf.

"Ho, ho, ho, ho!

It was a weave earthspider card.

"I'll buy you some time here. So run away!! Oh, my God, I'm too narrow to get through anyway! Never mind!

"Ku, sorry! It helps!"

"Please, my lord!

With the earthspider voice on my back, I'll go through the column clock escape route too.

Finally, Eliza also passed through and managed to close the lid of the column clock just before the wolf's nails touched it, the escape path disappeared without shadow or shape.

"Ha ha..."

I managed... to escape. Exhale a ho and relieve breath.

Woven earthspider...... contrary to his creepy appearance, he was the one who looked up.

But......, and look around.

We were, apparently, on a small hill. The sunset illuminates a meadow that is short. In the distance, I saw a large mansion.

Have you been transferring from there?

So I get groans from my masters and Anna.... You're awake!

"Master, Anna, Weave!

"Ugh... where am I?

My master asks as I slowly wake up my body.

"This is outside the hall. The masters lost their minds in the trap of irregular encounting."

"Oh... well. Am I wrong..."

I heard my answer. Did the master understand everything with it, and he lay down his face with regret.

At that time, the weave, looking around, asks.

"Tucci? Senior, where's Tucci?

"... sorry, the earthspiders stopped us to get away"

"Right..."

The weave drifted like depressed for only a moment, but soon when I mentioned my face, I started trying badges, rescue requests, and emergency evacuation magic cards.

This switchover was just as fast.

I was also trying to communicate with the outside world and emergency evacuation cards to see if anything had changed as I went out of the hall, and my master asked me while summoning additional cards.

"Malo. Does this mean you've been running away outside the hall, using wolves to handle the little goats?

"Oh."

As I nodded, the master put his hand on his chin and groaned.

"... then it's time not to come"

"Coming or wolf?

"No..."

The master shook his head.

"This is how we woke up in the wolf trap, which means the wolf is dead. And killing wolves in fairy tales..."

- - Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

A roar roaring the atmosphere.

"Coming, my mother goats who ate my children and went mad..."

A corner of the hall blew away, from which appeared the upper body of a giant goat.

Mother goats, like those who multiplied the sons goats dozens of times as they were, come to us with the seven sons goats.

"Shit, is the kid goat safe after all...!

Even though the child goats will be resurrected in the fairy tale, they said they even sacrificed earthspiders and werewolves to bring in the wolves... after all, was it in vain?

Against me biting my teeth, but my master says.

"No, Malo's choice is not wrong. If the column clock is broken and the seven child goats are defeated, the boss becomes a wolf; if the wolf is invited in to eat the seven child goats, the boss becomes the mother goat and the seven child goats. As a boss, it's actually easier to deal with wolves that don't have any surroundings..."

"In that case, we're going to stay asleep until we defeat the wolf. Well, if we had summoned the cards in full and slept, that option might have been ant too, sss..."

"I only summoned two of each... And we need to shelter our defenseless masters, and when we think about collaboration, it would have been better to wake us up overall."

So the sacrifices of the earthspiders weren't in vain, either?

Let's sort this battle out.

First I'm Lotus Hua, Eliza, Yuki, and Suzuka with four C-ranks. Mere, it's two D-ranks on Dragonet. Of these, Lianhua and Yuki have substantially B-rank class powers.

Then the master has seven C-rank cards and one B-rank card… Aradia. We've all grown to the limit of growth, which is the main force here.

That next Anna has three C-ranks and five D-ranks. The C-ranks are Elves, Pegasus, and Durahan, which rank up members during the Games. I also feel there are few C-rank cards for the presidential warrant lady, but this is because of Anna's detention that the cards are obtained with money earned by herself. She is irresistible to drawing on the help of her parents when it comes to magic props, etc., but there seemed to be some restraint when it came to cards.

And the last weave, but this one has three D-ranks and honestly can't be expected as a battle force. A C-ranked earthspider was her main source. She just has the strongest Yomotsushi comedy in D-rank. Yomotushikome could be expected as a wall player because he could summon the D-rank Yellow Springs Army indefinitely.

"Let's split the team in two"

I stared down at each card and said the master.

"Team A is to destroy the parent goat, and Team B is to contain the seven child goats.

Team A does it with Malo and Mr. Seventeenth Night Moon, Team B does it with me and Mr. Weave. If I can afford it, I'm going to cover Team A.... What do you think?

"Wouldn't it be better if the master were in charge of my mother's goat?

My master shook his head in my words.

"No, in Malo or Anna, it is possible that the army of Yomotsushi comets will not be able to protect Weave or Yomotsushi comets until they can contain the seven son goats.

Wolves and seven son goats are likely to be a long battle. Until Weave's Yomotsushi comedy is able to complete the seven child goats, I should put on her with the same number of C-rank cards as the child goat.

As soon as Yomotsushi can complete the seven goats, I will join my mother, the goats. "

I see... and we nodded - then.

"- Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me!

With a grunting roar, my mother goat came.
