Suddenly, a black flame sprayed directly from the side. It swallowed a woman an adventurer wielding a pole ax and burned its body. In front of Kyosuke, a woman screams screaming. The flames tried to scorch Kyosuke's body without any forgiveness or reproach.

Kyosuke knows this flame. It's called Dark Magic, or Chaos Magic, a monster-specific attack magic, one of which is Evil Flame's Wesen Claws.

For a moment, Kyosuke wondered if other classmates had come to help.

Because the vicious claw of evil flames is Sakuma's specialty. Alternatively, the hill-to-hill caor can also use dark magic.

But the moment the scream was heard from behind, it dispelled the idea.

The blow was clearly overpowering, even if it was unleashed to help Kyosuke.

"Rain!"

A man with a sword, like the leader of an adventurer, calls the woman's name. The black flame clung to the woman's body and continued to burn herself. The unpleasant smell of the meat fills the surrounding area. Female adventurers dressed like priests hoist their canes and continue to heal magic.

"Shit, we're out again. Lesser Demon!"

That said, a bandit man pointed to the one who had been spraying flames.

The adventurers turned their gaze towards you simultaneously. Kyosuke also gets stuck and looks at it.

"(What, that's...)"

Standing there is a strange form of creepy standing, with a slightly higher back length.

Meaty is never good. Abalone's raised body is even seemingly poor. The head looked a lot like a goat and had wings on his back. His height is over two meters. His eyes were red as bloodstained, and he dwelt in a ragged, creepy glow.

Until then, the adventurers who had been attacking us have already turned their consciousness completely over there. The look had a dark color of tension.

Lesser Demon, did you say?

Probably a land-specific monster. Kyosuke could also explore its performance based on her game knowledge, but she prioritized escaping first. The Adventurers are distracted by the Lesser Demon, and the Lesser Demon is aimed at the Adventurers, not here.

"Rin! Your hand wash!

Kyosuke looked back and spoke to the two of them.

"Oh, Ki, Ki, Kyosuke..."

"We're getting away! You can merge!

"Ah, uh..."

Rin's reply was stiff, but she then clung to Kyosuke's body, constituting her flesh. It's still a little heavy, but it would be better than crawling through the ground looking like slime.

Your hand wash Azuki looked at the adventurers with his face turned blue. The sight of a woman being burned round in front of her may be enjoying a little. But Kyosuke couldn't afford to just worry about it there. This is your chance to live forever.

Kyosuke hugged Azuki and kicked the ground at once. There's a roar behind me. I can't afford to just look back. I didn't even care about direction, I just ran even and managed to succeed in putting the spot behind me.

Running for a while, I reached a slightly different spot of scenery. The wasteland eventually turns into a meadow and reaches a relatively snug hill of grassy trees. Reaching this vicinity should have made the earlier battle a lot farther. However, it enters the hinterland a little bit and feels like it was far from the sea.

Kyosuke, a skeleton, is unrelated to physical fatigue. I wasn't particularly out of breath, but I was finally able to get the azure down to the ground softly. Rin also unmerges with Kyosuke and slips his body over the hills as he slopes.

"You managed to save my life."

Kyosuke also sat down on a nearby rock and sighed.

………

………

No reply. Azuki still had a blue face and Rin was puffy and trembling.

I don't like this kind of situation. Kyosuke does not have wide communication skills. But you wouldn't be able to say that in this situation either. At first I tried to pick a word, but I couldn't think of a good one, and eventually decided to cut out my own thoughts as they were.

"I want to see what's going on first. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Speaking, Azuki raised her face and opened her mouth to talk about something. However, the words do not appear yet. Kyosuke single-handedly controlled her trying to force her to talk.

"Okay. It's good after you calm down. I'm gonna talk to us first, but what about Rin?

"Hmm, a little bit, heh..."

"All right, then I'll talk to you in the main. Rin, if there's a supplement, please."

Kyosuke wondered if class commissioner Ryuzaki had always done this. If, like him, there is even one companion who is good at the ability to compromise or sum up opinions, this place is easy.

I can't help but disappear. Without such a person, I have no choice but to be a compiler.

"First me and Rin were on the beach when we woke up. Maybe there was a battle between Red Well and Luke, and that's where the warp thing happened. I haven't seen any other classmates. Your hand wash is the first."

Azuki snorted.

"Next, we're going to talk about where this is. Earlier adventurers said it was a new continent. I didn't really look through the maps that Ryuzaki and the others had..."

So Kyosuke glances around.

"I don't know if there's anything to write about... Don't you?"

For one thing, I should like to make it clear just how the new continent is positioned with its destination.

Kyosuke and the others initially went from Arbadumba, a maritime union state, to the Verneus Peninsula, northeast across the sea. However, it was not long after the departure of Arbadamba that the sea was attacked by Luke.

The New World is a continent on the south side of the sea. The whole story is not revealed, and it is said that people rarely enter except for some adventurers to visit.

"Assuming it's true, you've been skipped to a tough spot..."

Rin groaned pompously.

"Right......"

Kyosuke also nodded in arms. I don't really want to think about it pessimistically, but the situation is clear, pretty bad.

"For one thing, if you have a classmate who's been flown in besides us, I'd like to join them. Have you seen anyone?

Azuki shook his head to the side.

"I was around the desert when I woke up, too, so..."

"That's where the adventurer attacked you."

"Ah, yes..."

Azuki is rubbing his hands together after doing it earlier. Is it like a habit?

Speaking of which, your hand wash was pure. During the battle, the adventurer is chasing her around and her outfit is dirty with mud. And when I ran away, I held her body as much as I could.

"... wash your hands, wash your body?

………

Azuki nodded hesitantly when Kyosuke asked him a favor.

The reincarnation into monster Azuki washing would have been the gospel for her. At least in these waterless conditions, Azuki can use his pedigree abilities to wash something.

It's a wilderness, though. It's a meadow. There's hardly anything like a shield.

"For one thing, uh, Rin, can I ask you to keep an eye on me? As long as it's a bush around there."

"Oh, yeah. I'll keep an eye on you. Azuna, is that good?

Azuki snorted silently.

Kyosuke stops Rin from going to the bush with Azuki once.

"Rin, are you okay?

"What?

"For being attacked by a monster, can you handle it? You think I should go?

Slime she stops moving once. Her expression also made Kyosuke a lot more readable.

"... I don't know. It's crazy, you know, suddenly I'm scared."

"Maybe it's Red Well."

"It's a filter, isn't it? I think so too..."

If you think about it now, it was a crazy story. Whatever some confusion, each naturally embraced its own appearance and adapted quickly. Fighting what took the form of a man, he learned little resistance to killing it.

Kyosuke imagined that that was what Hongjing was trying to say about the filter. Filter against things that humans inherently learn to resist and hesitate to do. So Kyosuke and Rin have been able to kill three blood families.

"Where's Kyosuke? Are you okay?

"So far."

And, while saying, Kyosuke somehow felt like her own filter had already expired.

Just before leaving Alba Dumba, the slightest discomfort I remembered for putting Tokihara on my hands. Now that I think about it, maybe that was the proof left of the filter loss.

But that's all. In helping Azuki, who was attacked by an adventurer, Kyosuke clearly declared, 'If necessary, kill a human being'. Is that an anomaly in itself, or is it a normal reaction in extreme conditions? As for Kyosuke, I could have said both already, but I didn't want to say anything that frightened Rin more than I had to.

"Oh well... I wonder if there's a personal difference."

"Your hand wash is out of filter when it looks like that."

"Yeah...... But I'm fine. If it's about a monster, heck. I don't think it feels very good though. I can fight."

"Okay. Call me if you want."

"Well, isn't it nasty to say and peek?

He didn't have a hegemony for words, but he's recovering to the point where he can make jokes. Kyosuke kicked Rin instead of laughing bitterly.

Your hand wash pulled a clam monster, at least as far as looks are concerned. It stands out like a Japanese-style girl dressed in Japanese clothes. So when it comes to washing her body, it's also a dodgy and obvious situation, but I can't afford Kyosuke right now.

"Oh hey again, Azuna. Oh, you're gonna lose weight for it."

"Hih, Princess Shui, stop... Because I care..."

Right. Do you lose weight?

From the bushes, you can hear the sound of washing your hand washing body. Kyosuke remembered the clams she had left on the beach. Would it have been easier to sand the clams for you if you had an azure that allowed you to get in and out of the barrel and water freely?

Either way, the food is again secured.

How will we aim to join other students in the future? How to prevent attacks by adventurers and wild monsters. There are extremely many challenges ahead.

"(Adventurer... human...)"

This will be the first time I have ever been hostile to a person in this world, a person with the force of it.

This is the moment to make us realize once again that we are monsters. With classes falling apart and a further crisis of filter loss overlapping, this is not a desirable development.

"(Even so, survive. So I'll see you all again)"

For this reason, even if they are human, they are prepared to put their hands on them.

Kyosuke looked up into the Ethereum, alone and quietly, determined.

The gold-ranked adventurer, the adventurer party with Lesbon as its leader, ended the battle with Lesser Demon and managed to turn back to relay camp.

Rain, a pole ax user, is seriously injured by burns all over his body. Unlike mere burns, wounds worn with dark magic do not have very good healing magic effects. Even if it soothes, the marks will remain, recoverer Philhearts said.

The Adventurer Guild only allows more than gold runners to travel to the New World. This is why the New World was the place where the "Demon King” withdrew in the age of mythical warfare, and because there are still massive treks of monsters in the direct line of the Demon King.

In fact, the Lesbons have engaged nearly 10 Lesser Demons so far.

The new continent is the largest untouched area alongside the western part of the old continent. The results obtained through exploration are significant, but for that matter, the danger also attaches itself.

"Maybe it's time to think about withdrawing."

That's what Waygan, a wizard-style man wrapped around a robe and a party subleader, said.

"When Rain, a wall actor, is so damaged, it's tough to keep fighting"

"Yeah, but you can't make a fortune on Bimio if you keep it up..."

Lesbon arms and thinks.

"I knew I wanted to hunt some more unique species from the new continent. Like that skeleton, or the slime. And that woman's monster, what's that?

"You're Azkialai. It's a unique species from the New World. It is also slightly different from the direct line species of the Demon King. Wombat or Philhana would know a lot about it."

Around 200 years ago, humanity was hit by an unprecedented crisis. Multiple threats that completely differ in their origins have stripped their fangs off against humanity.

Among them, from the eastern side of the old continent, was what was called the army of Shura, who came across the sea. Today, on the eastern side of the continent, the "Trail of Maritime Defense Fortress against Shurosha” remains a sign of the battle of the time.

Azkialai is a kind of monster that was mixed with Shura's army. Today, its existence is only communicated by the literature of the Central Empire, but it has been discovered on the New World in recent years. This seems to be flourishing among the scholars as evidence to support the theory of geology that Shura's army home, supposedly east of the old continent, and that the new continent is undergoing ground.

Azkialai is not the only one. If the doctrine is correct, monsters such as Teng and Oni, Nue and Tstigmo, who were at the core of Shura's army, should also live in this new continent.

The Lesbons were visiting the land for the purpose of capturing or killing such New Continental unique species (also known as Shura) monsters and selling them to the scholars of the Central Empire through the Adventurer's Guild. From the Rare Biologists of the Empire, it must be the sample you want so much that you can get your hands out of your throat.

"I figured I'd have to go a little further east... Is that Azkiarai a detached monster?

"I don't know. I can't say."

As the two were having a conversation, Wombat and Philhana, who were on reconnaissance, returned.

Wombat turned from a bandit to an adventurer, a typical type of exploration. Philhana is a young girl who has only recently become a gold runner and can use a rare means of recovery for adventurers, namely, divine magic.

"Hey, Lesbon. That's good news."

Looking a little excited, Wombat cut it out that way.

"Anything wrong?

"I found it. It's a unique species from the New World. It's about four solid. It's a separate species."

"Is that true?

Lesbon got up unexpectedly.

What we found was an intermediate new continent-specific species, including crow tengs. Unfortunately, it is a monster that is not an advanced species like Oni or Nue but still has little material. You can definitely sell them off high.

"Okay. Rayne can't move, so one of us is going to protect him and three of us are going to do it. Just be careful with the Lesser Demon."

If it's about intermediate, even three gold runners can deal with it adequately. If I were to think about balance, would I have Wombat look at Rain?

Thinking about it, Philhana has cut it out as a snack.

"Lesbon......, are you sure you want to go?

"Hmm, why not?

"I also thought when I was chasing Azkialai that there was a strong resistance to capture them as monsters. At that time, Azkialai was obviously running away with fear and..."

"Well, well..."

Lesbon said, scratching his pompous head.

"It's common for monsters with advanced intelligence and social qualities, so don't listen to a lot of emotional adventurers. Elves and dwarves were the brackets of monsters until about 200 years ago."

"If so..."

"But you have to do a proper research, including around there, to figure it out. It's true they tore their fangs off to mankind 200 years ago."

He's a creature, so it's natural to remember fear and get away with it. That's just the story of how you happen to be close to a human being and only combine human and close intelligence.

Most of all, the lines here are vague. That is what makes some species, like elves and dwarves, recognized as part of humanity as times change. But at this stage, Azkialai is a monster.

Even if you're thinking hard around here, Adventurer Indulgence is irresistible. Unless you dive into a dungeon every day every day and earn a dime. Adventurers of the North of the Continent In the autonomous Zermenalga, we hear that such adventurers are still predominant.

Lesbon despises such adventurers by calling them “moles”. That's the way the countrymen make money.

When Lesbon gave a polite commentary, Philhana eventually nodded as she had noticed.

"In the meantime, if I catch those guys, I'll be ready to withdraw. We have a higher encounter rate with Lesser Demons than we thought, so let's be careful."

Lesbon gave instructions and this adventurer party's policy was so decided.

Azuki washed her body and clothes and appeared before Kyosuke again in the state of Tsugateka. My hair is moist and wet and my moisturized skin is oddly colorful, but that's not an important issue at the moment. She also took a breath of Azuki, a beauty lover, at last by removing the dirt from her body.

"There were no monsters out there, Staff!

Pi, and Rin deforms his body like a salute. Kyosuke nodded as she scratched her head.

"You haven't heard that in a long time, Staff..."

"There will be another day when no one will say anything about it for another month or so. I say it regularly to remind you that Kyosuke is a staff member."

"Ooh..."

Rin is getting back on track, too. For one thing, I think I can relax and talk.

"I don't think Rin and I are the only ones flown to this continent to wash their hands."

Sitting on a nearby rock, Kyosuke cuts out the story. Azuki, still finding a nearby rock, sat down on it with a hand-tufted cloth after washing it away with water. It is a big caution.

"In the meantime, I think Rin and I were flying close because we were close enough. Do you remember who was nearby before you were flown?

"Mm-hmm... I was in a hurry then..."

Azuki is wearing a small neck.

"But by that logic, aren't there supposed to be Furano-kun with Utsurugi-kun?

"Eung..."

Being given a childhood name, Kyosuke gave a little, bitter face...... voiced a bitter feeling nuance for now because she couldn't make it.

"He was a little far away when he was to be flown."

"Micha-chan or something was closer than us."

I am one of my classmates who is particularly worried about cheapness. Of course not who's safe and who doesn't have to be, but he's still my best friend who was born 17 years ago. I may have applauded you for not having had much opportunity to exchange words here lately as well as for worrying.

"I'm worried about you. Sure, I think he was closest to Mr. Red Well."

"So are Caorco and Harui."

If Hongjing himself intentionally caused this transfer accident, what does the fact that he was nearest to Hongjing mean?

At that time, she said, 'Get as far away from me as you can'. What happened to Xiangko Sakuma, who was swallowed by the light first? What did Red Well fear and say, 'Get as far away from me as you can'? Not really, I can't imagine.

"Around me for sure...... Like Mr. Snowflake, Umaru...?

Azuki said so with his neck tilted.

"I should have been far enough away to pull it off... so it's likely that they were flying near where I was?

"I see. Was it a Uluru under the snow..."

"Oh, it's just Japanese-style monsters"

Rin said with a little pleasure. To the words, Azuki punches his hand once more.

"That's right. There might have been Mr. Waluno."

"Chi, right? That means you're sitting here."

As soon as a classmate's name is mentioned, around the other classmate's name comes up, that's class intelligence.

That said,

"Are you close to your sitting area and Waluno?

"He's the ace and manager of the football club. Okay? There's something going on. I don't know if you're dating, but Chi used to watch you."

"You take a good look..."

If so, at least those four people will see for sure that Azumi could have been flown near the warp. Kyosuke thinks. This hill seems to be a relatively safe zone, but when it comes to looking for four people, we need to head out to that wasteland and desert again.

It's a dangerous place to run into adventurers and Lesser Demons. Come on, we shouldn't be heading, but on the contrary, it also means those four are still left in those danger zones.

"Kyosuke, are you going...?

Rin asked roughly.

"Oh, go"

Kyosuke nodded.

"Kee, isn't it dangerous...?

"I know a hundred dangers. It's not like I'm abandoning myself."

To Azuki's words, Kyosuke speaks slowly.

"It's not about self-sacrifice, it's about other people's priorities. Something tells me, after all, that I want to do something, something I don't want you to wake up from, and that's the only way to do it, and if I have to do it, I have to do it."

"But Kyosuke, you're so weak when you're alone..."

Rin's words lay at their core. Yes, it is. Kyosuke is weak when she is alone. It's just a skeleton to the point where my body is a little sturdy. If you have a weapon, it's another thing, but it's even poorer because it's hand-held.

But Kyosuke was well aware of it. Knowing it, knowing it's selfish, there's only one means to take it.

"I know."

It's the only way to do this, so it's the only way.

"So Rin, I need your help."

"Uh..."

Rin's voice contained slightly bitter laughing nuances.

"Is that how you came..."

"Of course, if you encounter a human adventurer, you run away at a glance. Even if you encounter a Lesser Demon, yes. It's easier for Rin to escape than for me to escape naked alone."

One day, I felt like the time was coming when I had to do this kind of favor.

I'm not willing to talk about self-sacrifice, but Kyosuke still often takes risks to save others. But if Kyosuke tries to make the best possible risk hedges, he has to use Rin and Ei's help. Rin was always happy to accompany me. Eung complained, but always made the decision to Kyosuke.

But not always will they snort. Even then, Kyosuke has to tell them she can't do it in order to get through my best that she wanted to.

"Ma, Kyosuke said so. You're also looking at doing your job to get Umaru and the others away, aren't you?

"Ugh, ma, well..."

"I'm freaking out now, aren't I? Your body could harden up, right?

"I'll hold the princess then, but I'll take her."

I watched the conversation between the two of them as your hand wash was pounding.

"Good......"

"Whoa, I'm sorry, Azuna. I didn't mean to show it to you. Ha ha... ah"

Kyosuke teased Decopin for the time being for Rin to make some spare remarks.

"That's why... Of course I have to ask you to come about directions for your hand wash. Are you okay?"

"Well, me too, because it's more comforting to have one or more classmates..."

Kokon, and your hand wash azuki nodded.

Now, is it unanimous at first? The day is tilting. It gets harder to find at night, so if possible, I want to go out and search sooner rather than later. Kyosuke stood up and, looking out into the desert from the hills, Rin stuck his foot a little bit.

"Kyosuke-kun Kyosuke-kun. Let me tell you something, seriously."

"Hmm?"

"I knew I was terribly scared to kill people"

Tone of the held down voice. Rin Himemizu spun gloomy words.

"Until now, I've never had any questions, and I'm terribly scared. Three people I've killed so far, all my abilities...?

The first, unnamed, Pawn killed with a wind hole in his belly with a kick accelerated by Rin's water flow injection.

The second, Knight's Suow, broke a piece of his body into his body and killed him with Extreme Brow eating through it.

The third, Pawn's Tokihara, still killed him with Extreme Brow.

Purely, it is difficult to say that it is Rin's ability. But the same feeling that remains vivid in Kyosuke's body is probably in Rin as well. So you're staying sane, you're telling Kyosuke you're going to accompany you, or maybe because of her tough mental skills.

"So I..."

"I'm not going to let Rin kill anyone any more"

Kyosuke said clearly.

"If you need me, I'll kill you"

"... can you?

Kyosuke also found out that it wasn't saying anything spiritual.

Kyosuke Akagi, on his own, is just a poor skeleton.

But I'm sure it's not a question of being able or unable to. Kyosuke, there is no choice left.

"If we have to, we have to."
