Monster no Goshujin-sama

2. Events during absence

Two.

For a moment, I didn't know what happened.

At that time, Kato Makoto, who was exploring the doubts of the matter with the Roses, was hitting the dossier in Gert's hidden library, which he visited with Harrison.

The knowledge gained there - I was rushing to tell Takahiro Mashima about the existence of the 'connector', and there was an anomaly across the communication tool.

There was no response to the call, and in the meantime, the communication went out.

Of course, I tried to reconnect.

In the meantime, things happened.

There was such a shock that the world repeatedly felt its body thrown out.

If you notice, Kato Mandarin was held by Rose among the rubble.

I can't connect before or after the situation.

However, I understood that I was protected.

"Genuine vegetables. Are you okay?"

"Yeah..."

Confused, he crawled out of the rubble with Rose's help.

That was the private room of the collapsed Gert.

Apparently, Garbera was out first, turning her gaze.

"Hey, what...?

"We'll talk later. It's not safe here, we're going outside."

Garbera said in a hard voice, and Rose moved accordingly.

Protected but Kato Genuine stepped out the window with their hands.

"Where's Iino? And Harrison and Gordon..."

"Don't worry, I'll be out first"

Indeed, as the words put it, in the large courtyard outside the window, there were three figures.

Relieved.

It seemed like we were the last ones to escape the collapsed library.

"They didn't have to be buried in the rubble when the hidden library collapsed."

"Really?... No. Wait. Did they crumble you?

Hooked on rhetoric.

That was because it was a suggestion of the existence of someone who collapsed the hidden library.

In fact, Gabella was tickling the spider's legs as if to intimidate her.

"The concubines were attacked from outside in the library. He seems like a bad guy."

As she stared, a girl appeared through the window of the room facing the courtyard.

Apparently, he was lurking in a room near Gert's private room.

A pitiful eye under his glasses was pointed pale over here.

Kato Makoto surprised me because that was the face I found out about.

There was just someone who was more shocked.

It was Yuna Iino who gave her a distracted voice.

"Ku, Kuriyama......? How did you get here?"

Yes, it was Akiko Kuriyama who was an assistant leader on the expedition.

Cold looking back she didn't say anything, instead Garbera opened her mouth.

"Thank you very much. This is the one who's been attacking us. I don't know what you're thinking."

"Oh, no... some mistake."

Yuna Iino's voice in retrospect was a weak one.

She also possesses more combat abilities than Gabella.

I should have known the situation.

But I guess you still can't believe that you got a vile unintended blow from a human who thought you were one of them.

Or maybe you don't want to believe it.

Because that would be a fact that, as a member of the expedition, would rock the fundamentals of 'Wewaten', which kept the world running.

"Hey, do something, Mr. Kuriyama"

Even if asked for in a trembling voice, Keiko Kuriyama did not change one complexion.

I just gave it back pale as usual.

"You seem to have a misunderstanding. I am not your enemy."

"Then..."

When I heard the words, there was a slight return of blood to Yuna Iino's face.

But it's too soon to show such a reaction.

That was more of a word that would plunge her into further despair.

"Because this is what I did for my leader. I'm sure you'll follow me here. Then I am not thy enemy. I think so, how about that?

"... Huh?

The small spilled voice was just vain.

So much so that you can't hear me.

"The leader... what?

"Apparently he hit badly over there. Everything seems to have been found out. Yeah. So, it means we're done playing. Just fine, so it's up to me to kill the captain and vice president of the diocesan knighthood, and then Takahiro Mashima's family remnants, right?

"... Shh. Lies."

"I'm not lying. Earlier, you would have lost contact with Takahiro Mashima. By now, the leader must have come to an end"

Yuna Iino's knee broke.

Or maybe it was the heart that broke at that moment.

"Shh..."

The crushed voice had no fury at all.

I haven't seen anything in that eye.

There was the figure of an unbroken girl who had lost something to believe.

But we couldn't afford to be worried about her, watching it beside us.

"Seniors...?

I felt bloody in an instant.

If the current story is true, he is exposed to an unsolved crisis.

They were thinking the same thing, and their people were standing up.

They're taking the lead.

I knew it was a very bad situation, but I couldn't do anything about it.

That's how deadly Takahiro Mashima's crisis is.

"Wait a minute. Huh!

So it was precisely during my unhappiness that a third party broke into me in this situation.

A small figure jumps into the courtyard, breaking through a window facing the courtyard.

Short ponytails shake at the back of my head.

He was supposed to be guarding outside the mansion, the Explorer's "Rigoku Snow" hand washing sunflower.

"Even if this is the work of the leader, you can't let the real vegetables do it here!

"Aoi!

Seeing the girl cutting her hair, Kato Mane raised her voice unexpectedly.

They noticed something strange and rushed it to me.

It was a powerful rescue.

Kyoko Kuriyama frowned and shivered at the appearance of two names standing up.

"... your hand wash. Do you turn to the enemy?

"Naturally"

I am not lost in my response.

She made a noise and let her fist meet.

"Hate, I'm not the type of person who has a strong sense of belonging as Senior Yuna."

"That's a thin love. You don't even care about the leader?

"I trusted the leader. It's a shock. But protecting your friends is a priority in this situation."

In fact, the figure seemed calm, at least to the extent that it was possible to fight.

"The leader betrayed everyone and you were the collaborator. So I attacked the Vegetables. I know that, but what are you going to do from here? You're the one who's hopeless here."

Stay alert and tell them to intimidate you.

"Are you trying to work with me with your ability to create that tiny knife?

As a well-known fact, Keiko Kuriyama's combat ability is not high.

Speaking of expeditions, it's the lowest class.

Even with its inherent ability to create a knife composed of darkness, it is not comparable to having two names.

For example, it's not about whether or not you can win, it's about how you hold onto your figure.

Should be......

"Be careful, Aoi"

What Mademoiselle Kato wondered was that the enemy seemed to settle down in such circumstances.

Maybe there's something I can do.

I thought so, but I couldn't get to the specifics.

This would not have been the case if Takahiro Mashima and Lily had already engaged Kojiro Nakatsuki.

Because they know.

Keiko Kuriyama possesses, the ability to create weapons out of darkness.

That the power is very similar to a single crack in the ability Kojiro Nakatsuki had hidden.

"You have the ability to create a knife. Is that what this is about?

"... be!?

Darkness erupted with mighty magic from the hands raised by Keiko Kuriyama.

There's no such thing as the ability to create a proper knife.

It was the 'one-handed sword' that was created by the dreaded magic.

That was nothing short of the dark sword that Kojiro Nakatsuki showed in the other world.

"Hey, somehow that!? Not at all like usual......!?

I guess I intuitively felt that threat, and Keiko Kuriyama spared no effort against your hand washing sunflower.

"Die."

……

The sword of darkness unraveled and burst into a running stream.

Even one-handed swords have the power to blow up one giant mansion.

The darkness that brings ruin fills the sight of Kato's real vegetables.

"Not to mention...!

- Before that blow, I saw the back of the hand washing sunflower coming forward.

I got a rash and wondered if I was confused.

Because she waved her fists against the impending darkness running.

But it wasn't.

"Oh no!

What a madness to physically beat up in front of a dark runoff - as if beating up such common sense, a dark runoff clashed with his fist bounced and flew.

Seeing the sight, I remembered.

- Whatever you can beat, stop beating it.

- I don't care if it's something you can't beat up.

That's the unique ability of Rigoku Snow.

As for ability, it is close to the conceptual attack of "slaughter anything" in "absolute amputation".

Physical, but magical, but I don't know and don't care about that.

"Gangarm Snow" succeeded in smashing down some of the attacks that could blow up one of the mansions.

I thought it was just fine.

But the girlfriend looked back with a panicked face shortly afterwards.

"Vegetables."

――

The attacks launched were wide-ranging.

One of the most powerful fronts was crushed by the Rigidarm Snow, but it didn't prevent all of the ranged attacks.

Regardless of who was highly combatant, he had the power to kill if he was a non-combatant.

I have not yet used this ability enough to control the 'Ugly Monster' with an aggressive reaction.

This is not good...

"- I won't let you!

Shortly afterwards, what jumped out of the ground covered my eyes.

A large number of rock columns stood up and became walls and blocked.

Once in a while, prevent attenuated attacks with the blow of "Rigid-Arm White Snow".

Really, it was just a rush.

"Hmm. It was dangerous."

"Mr. Gabella. Thank you."

A relieved gabella laughs at me.

It was her fault now.

In his hand, a black stick as long as his arm was gripped.

"Hmm. I'm glad it just helped."

"Magic wand...... do you?

For the first time I saw it. In response to the hand washing sunflower question, Gabella responded with a tight chest.

"It's a new magic tool for concubines. Lord Rose made it."

It was as if to show off a toy, but in fact, its performance is a big deal.

This was made by Rose as a weapon exclusively for Gabella, with reference to the magic tools of the treasure sword that would make it possible to use the local attribute magic that Jun Takaya had previously.

The performance itself is beyond original.

"It's not a bad idea to keep one of your defenses, assuming the enemies that are going to launch a massive attack. Well, that's not all this magic tool does..."

"Mr. Gabella."

Kato Minami stopped Gabella, who was good at talking.

If you're talking about Rose's made magic tools, it was more like you wanted to, but that's not the situation right now.

"Kuriyama..."

"Oh. Running away seems fast."

Her figure had disappeared as she turned to the enemy.

I guess you decided you couldn't kill this one on this occasion.

It was a quick decision.

It also means he's a nasty enemy.

"Aoi, is it possible to chase him and catch him?

"Sorry. Vegetables. Just a minute now. I'm a member of the expedition, and it's hard to catch up from here."

I shake the story, but they made me look sorry.

"Really..."

"If Senior Yuna's legs were safe, it would have been a moment... oh no"

The words seemed badly and awkwardly cloudy, probably because Yuna Iino was bowing her knees and nodding.

Not very much, but not in an atmosphere where you can speak up.

The air flowed like no one could speak, but a scream broke that silence.

"Dear Harrison! Cheer up!

If you look, Harrison, backed up by Gordon, was sitting tight.

The lid falls and the breath is thin.

There was blood seeping through the wrapped bandage.

Originally, he came out of the infirmary, forcibly resting, if normal.

The attack, the burden of escaping from it, must have crippled the injury.

"Master Kato was able to use restorative magic. Please magic with me...!

"Okay!

The scars left by "Dragon Man" Shijiya Jingu in Teito are deep.

If we lose the high priest Gert-Kügeler and still lack Harrison, the Cathedral Church will suffer dysfunction.

It wasn't if the person with the cause was saying this.

Instructing the late rushing security knight to arrange treatment, the line took Harrison back to Cathedral Church in a hurry.
