Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

"I can't hear you with your voice down, incompetent. See, one more time."

"Ah......................................................................................................................................."

"See, good luck. If you don't tell me, I'm gonna die."

I was stuck on the wall and strangled with something.

The light that plugs out of the street is weak, and I can't even see their faces that glow over me well.

The only thing I can barely tell is that they're a five-man.

Desperately trying to speak up, something drooling wrapped around my hands, feet and neck strangles me.

Strengthen or weaken it, they were playing with me.

He doesn't want to kill me... but then why...

Where the hoof and neck restraint weakened, I uttered the question that came to my mind.

"Ho ho... hey, why... did you help...?

"Hmm? We were looking for incompetence. Because this is how you can enjoy it, and no one complains about you where you did something incompetently. Are you our slave from today on?

Oh no......

Too harsh......

"You were lucky. I just happened to see him dragged into the alley. I thought it sounded funny, so I peeked, and I was incompetent."

Can I do anything if I'm incompetent...?

This is crazy. This is... this is the world!

"Right. Well, I helped you, so thank God you're gonna be a slave, right? All right, let's get you home. You were right to rent a house, Fuuro."

"Right? I'm a genius after all."

Oh, no... stay like this and they'll take you away.

If that happens... your mother will be killed by Horus!

"No... my mother... agoo!?

Painful......!

I can't breathe...!

"Kathy, nice to meet you. Let's get him out of here before we make a scene."

"Rikai. It'll take a while. Pulu, keep it tight."

"Yes."

Please......... please don't.

Please don't kill your mother.

I'll do anything... I'll do anything...

"Oh... don't kill... come on...!

"This kid is amazing. I'm squeezing it up pretty good."

"Mother? I don't know what you're talking about, but you don't have a choice. Incompetence is not human. It's used by good people like us. Don't worry... I'll make you look cute enough."

Even stuff......

But I'm not yours...!

I'm the one who helps your mother!

I don't... I don't... Mother... Mother!

――――――――――――――――――――――

Sounds like a pretty long alley.

I can see the light from the opposite street a long way ahead.

That's really thin, too.

From the end of the darkness, I began to hear a slight talk.

I wonder why.

It's like I've heard it somewhere... I don't get a very good impression... that's the voice.

I kind of have a bad feeling about it.

Getting closer, I heard the woman's likely painful voice.

I knew something was going on.

We ran out into the dark without saying anything to each other.

"Kathy, what do you say?

"Yeah, I'm almost there, Fuuro"

I heard my voice clearly and my hunch turned to certainty.

I don't have time to think about what to do.

'Cause... I saw someone being turned into a jerk.

"Hey."

Their movements stop in my voice.

And I don't know the expression, but I slowly turned this way.

"Ah? What?

... I knew it was Furo.

Apparently he doesn't realize it's me over there.

It was dark and I didn't see my face, and apparently I forgot my voice.

I don't know your face in the dark, but I know there are five of you.

No way, I'm being blamed for...

"Why are you doing such a terrible thing... what did that person do to you guys?

"Nothing. This guy is incompetent. So it's nothing, okay?

Grab a fist.

These guys... really...

It was these guys who stabbed me in the stomach when rumors started coming up in town that I might be incompetent.

Well, I was trying not to show magic, and maybe it was natural to suspect me because I was trying not to get out of the house.

I was always shopping for a time when not many people were around, but I stumbled upon these guys that day.

No, now that I think about it, maybe they've been watching me since the beginning.

Fuuro stuffed me to show me some magic, and naturally I couldn't use the magic. I managed to escape, but I was caught by the magic of Pulu.

Well, it's like I'm already confessing at the stage where I tried to escape, but at the time I was mentally quite pushed by my parents dying and the inability to use magic.

Anyway, I think it was just the thought that magic should not be shown.

In the end, the magic I used in hopes of a miracle was a decision that I was incompetent.

Maybe these guys hated me from the start.

Honestly, I tried not to worry too much about it, but it was kind of uncomfortable when we were playing together.

Besides, I've been nagging before I used magic, and I obviously enjoyed watching you scare me.

I still can't forget that crooked smile.

"If you know what I mean, just go. Oh, or do you want to do it too? You can entertain him just for today. But I'll take the money. He's already my slave! haha!

Right... these guys...

"Enough... don't talk to me"

"Ah? People are being nice to you because of you. Come on... you're selling fights?

"That's enough. Should we do this one, too?

"Right. You look like a wizard."

"Don't get in my way, okay? It's gonna take a while."

"Something's irritating about this guy's voice... that's enough, Fuuro"

"Oh, fine. Nobody's watching. Let's do it."

You still don't seem to realize it's me.

Naturally, you haven't used magic yet, and you wouldn't think you're incompetent.

I mean, I should be just passing by for these guys.

If I think I'm in the way to satisfy my desires, I'll be fine with my hands.

It's against the Adventurer's Terms and Conditions, and it's weird as a person in the first place.

These guys are... distorted from the start.

"Your husband..."

Looks like Levi distracted me and didn't call my name.

He leaned against me with a worrying voice.

I whisper so they don't hear me.

"It's okay... I'll deal with the four of you. Levy needs help with that guy. The restraint will be lifted immediately, so if you hold it, you can leave this place as it is. Meet me at the guild if you get lost."

"Yes, sir..."

"What the hell are you talking about?

In the dark, the wind flows from behind me.

This is a precursor to the coming of Fuuro wind magic.

I've had it so many times that I already know what magic it is.

So I dared to step forward.

"Become!?

I don't know the look on your face, but your voice is clearly upset.

This magic of Fuuro is a magic that gathers the air around it and turns it into a block of wind and strikes out.

Of course, it's powerful magic, but it has the weakness of needing a hoard and being too powerful to let go near you.

So if you step forward, you can't shoot that magic.

I set a target for Pruhl among the four in line.

Even if she can't see her face, she can tell right away by the size of her back.

Then the man next door stood up to protect the pull.

"Holy shit!

Judging by his voice, he looks like Dan. His right-hand knife is swung down, but he grabs his wrist and takes it.

Dan's magic is amputation magic. As far as I can tell, it was magic to amputate the part where the knife hit.

Therefore, if you don't even hit the knife, it's fine.

I squeeze my wrist all I want.

Shouting in pain, he slapped his fist into Dan's belly trying to hover it with both hands.

"Whisk!?

Turn to Dan's crippling letter.

I'm still glad I noticed this. If you add or subtract this, you can control it without causing injury.

What I noticed in Historia was, "Could a knuckle guard also be a weapon?"

In other words, if you wear it at all times, you can cope with unintended blows, and you can keep your physical abilities elevated.

Fuuro can't seem to afford to stay here desperate to unlock the magic.

Skye doesn't care. He was screaming, but there's nothing he can do now.

"Ko, this!

As Dan falls to the ground, Pruhl unleashes his magic against me.

Pull magic is jelly magic. A variety of shapes can be created by jellizing and releasing magic.

It would also be jelly magic to be detaining that guy.

Pretty nasty magic, hard to escape once caught.

But slow movement is the weakness.

"Ah? Do it! Yay...... yay!

I can feel free to hit a girl... but I can't even say that.

I didn't want to punch him in the face or belly though, so I kept a knife in my shoulder.

It may hurt because I hit it a little hard, but you should taste people's pain a little.

Looking forward, Levy had already put Kathy on.

When did it slip through? With the same fast work......

And when Pruhl passed out, he lifted the restraint on the person who was being blamed.

Levi catches it and jumps straight out onto the street.

I'll run after it too...

"Let them get away with it. Whoa!

Looking back, Fuuro was about to unleash the wind magic.

Shit... I wasn't disarming you, I was just holding you back!

But...!

"Stop it! If I shoot from there......!

Damage to the people on the street......

"If you die, that's fine!!

"Aigis!"

Take the cannonball of the instant breeze with Aigis.

I didn't have time to activate my abilities, but I managed to take them and deviate into the sky.

But the cannonball of the wind explodes in the air, sweeping through the walls of both buildings that were forming alleys.

Making a shitty noise, a fierce splash of debris poured down on the people in the street.

"Yikes!?

"Wow!?

"Damn! Goddess Absolute Defense (Aigis)!"

It generated barriers at the center of the road and took all the debris.

Looking around but no one seems to be injured.

I'm glad to hear that, but unfortunately there were some things that weren't good.

"Oh, you...!

The light of the bright town was illuminating me.
