"Wombat, our target would be that lycanthrope. These guys..."

"If you care, Waygan! Even these guys are rare, if you catch them..."

The two adventurers encounted with the monsters as they explored the western forest zone.

It's not just a monster, it's a monster peculiar to the new continent called Shuroyangsha and Ayakashi. Simply catching these alive and selling them to the Alliance headquarters and the Empire's Rare Biologist Squad will give you a pretty high price. Wombat's adventurer party was supposed to have come for that.

Until I became a Gold Ranker, I had a bleeding effort. Adventurers don't always last long. In fact, Lesbon lost his arm in this new continent.

That's why I make a lot of money here, and I make savings.

Wombat stuck a blade at Azkialai, the seemingly least combative Ayakashi, and caught that body. All you have to do is tie him up and disperse him once. Isn't that a simple story?

I hear that Ayakashi has many things that look close to human beings or are equipped with high intelligence. Still, monsters are monsters. It's a different creature than a human being. Even elves were treated the same way until 200 years ago.

Let go of your handwasher.

That's what Nuricabe said standing in front of me.

"You promised Utsurugi. He said he'd never get his hands on me again."

"Weigan, can you catch that one, too?

"Don't be impotent. He said he still doesn't know how to fight..."

Exactly, carrying that giant breaks bones. Inorganic monsters have difficulty figuring out their ecology when defeated, so the material value drops dramatically. I don't know if this law applies to Ayakashi, but if I can capture him, I want him alive.

That's when I was thinking about it. The retreat and bushes rocked, and a silver shadow popped out of the other side.

"Grrrr!!

"Become...!

It was a silver furry wolf. He jumps at me trying to slap my nasty front leg on a wombat. Wombat lowered while catching Azkialai and Weygan unleashed the magic of the lightning attribute to intercept him. In the depressed and lush woods, the flash can play.

But still, the wolf's momentum never stopped.

Trying to tear the thunderlight apart, the silver wolf was struck by a waygun. Push down the body of a luxurious magician and put your nails up on your chest. He stripped his fangs wide and intimidated him by putting his face close to the fallen waygun. Its large jaw would chew off easily if it were about the human skull.

The silver wolf was bleeding from his shoulder. That's the lycanthrope we just ran into and engaged.

You can kill this guy. Bring back the body and you'll get a bonus. But as it is, Waygan will be killed. Wombat doesn't have the means to slaughter Lycanslope with a single blow.

"Yes, Mr. Dog God......!

Nurikabe shrugged. Lycan Slope moves his golden eyes.

Do you know these guys? The moment he found out yes, Wombat stuck a knife to Azkialai's neck. I don't know if there's any human empathy between them, but I'll have to try.

"Get out of there! Or I'll kill this guy!

………

A moonlight word, but it worked. Lycanslope slowly pulls his arm off the waygun, and in that gap, he slips out of restraint.

After all, human intelligence and empathy are combined.

But what happened to it? We are adventurers, mercenaries. If it is a job, it will also be driven to war. Guild rules do not allow the assassination of dignitaries, but they can still kill people in the course of a mission. No hesitant sardines exist to kill monsters.

Lycanslope hasn't shown any signs of unbeastification. Sure, when I met her on the hill, she was a silver-haired woman.

Though handy, they are quite formidable enemies to deal with together. Plus, there's Nuricabe over there. If that bothered you, you'd jump again, and now you'd do it so normally that you'd eat either Waygun or Wombat, or the whistle off your throat.

"Yes, Naomi, …"

Azkialai gave a fine voice. Wombat sticks a knife further down its throat. A scream without a voice rose in my arms. Lycanslope peels out his fangs and roars low.

"Unbeast."

Wombat recommended.

Lycanslope is very different from the common beast man and his ecology. Veterization, the special ability of Lycanslope, increases the stature of the body, both around and around the lid, and improves its physical ability. Like Demon of the Demon King and Gilman of the Sea King, Lycanslope is considered the direct family of the Beast King.

That is, this state of beastification is no different than, in human terms, it possesses powerful armaments. Wombat's recommendation is an order to disarm, so to speak.

"Dog god, no"

Nuricabe says so, but eventually, Lycanslope, known as Inugami, honestly followed this recommendation.

The silver wolf, who keeps roaring to strip out his teeth while keeping a strong eye on Wombat and Weigan, eventually contracts its body as if the air had fallen out. The mature silver hairs become thinner and skin tones more pronounced. The rough front leg turned into a luxurious arm, with a hint of luxury around his waist.

Sleepy beautiful girl stares at this one as she sits on the ground. Is there a minimum of shame, one arm covering his chest? The stab wound on the shoulder worn by Wombat has not healed yet.

"Gess bastard"

Inugami's throat spun those words. Wombat snorts.

"That's not how I feel right now."

If the situation is, Wombat was also blowing one of the whistles, but now it's kill or be killed. I challenge you with the same readiness you are dealing with a horny demon.

"So, what do we do? Weigan."

"If we get this far, we can't even try to negotiate"

Weigan sighed small and turned a cold glance at Inugami.

"That lycanthrope kills"

What the hell am I supposed to do?

Kosuke Ozashi was watching the situation from the shade of the tree. It is the adventurers who are in front of us. Adventurers are people who are mercenary in nature. The other day, I was about to get attacked. At that time, Kyosuke Akagi did something about it, and it helped.

Your sitting area was behind the Wall Field when the Adventurer captured your handwash Azuki, who was walking in the lead. And he fled into the shadow of the tree, and was never found. Originally, I was good at hiding signs.

The dog god came to help, but soon fell into a predicament. Azuki remains captured by adventurers, the dog god has been forced to unbeast, and the wall field has not been able to move.

And one of the adventurers of the enemy said:

- That lycanthrope kills.

As it is, the dog god will be killed. And when it comes to whether a dog god is killed and Azuki or Waluno helps, that's never the case.

Right now, I'm the only one who can move to help them. But the legs of your sitting area were dull.

Out of filter, the guy. I couldn't tell you that I was in that state. I can't do that, even though the situation might get better if I take out my kick bow here and tap one shot into my good shooting. If we fail, or if we find out where we are, all those worries come through our brains.

With just a little bit of courage, I can't do what I'm supposed to do.

The sitting area was still sticking to the tree, beeping his teeth.

"Hey, sit down."

He shook his shoulder when he called from behind, frightened. Unexpectedly, I almost got a voice.

Looking back, there was a line of anomalies dressed like mountain ambushes from above black feathers and simple anomalies in semi-liquid form.

"Or, Umaru... Princess Shui......"

"How's it going? What happened to Azuna?

"... Mi, your hand wash is caught. The dog god has now been forced to unbeast...... Adventurers kill the dog gods..."

When they answered with a trembling voice, they were silent for a while. Wumaru whines about one thing, 'It sucks'.

"Did Ring-chan hurt you, you mean an adventurer? How could that be..."

"It's quite natural for an adventurer to attack a monster."

To Rin's doubts, Umaru threw up. Listening to those two conversations, your sitting area shrugs.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Both of you, I'm..."

"You're out of filter. It's okay. I know."

Rin responded with a gentle voice. My arms stretch out of my body and gently stroke my head.

"Don't worry. Me and Umaru will do something about it. We can go, right?

"Oh, I'm a jerk when I can cut it, too."

Umaru hasn't caused the filter to run out yet, but Rin has overcome it after waking it up once. If you say you can count on me, yes.

From the shadow of the Wall Field, we can confirm the situation. Because Azuki has been taken hostage, Waluno has not been able to move either. One of the adventurers releases the magic of the lightning attribute to the dog god with a knife stuck to the azure. The dog god had managed to avoid it as he jumped, but was quickly captured by the lightning that ran endlessly through this narrow forest. A small scream, falling to the ground.

"Princess Shui, I'm confident if I'm fast"

"But it's too far from this position. Let's go around."

"Until then, do you have a dog god...?

Rin and Umaru continue to consult.

If Kyosuke were here, he would have merged with Rin and solved it sarcastically.

He is splendid. He was lightened in his class, neglected even after he had metastasized, and never became arrogant, even after he had the power in his hands. Of course, there may be a reason because half of the power was borrowed. But Kyosuke's attitude was always consistent, both when your sitting area mixed with his surrounding classmates and mocked Ryuzaki for falling to the bottom, and when he turned his cold gaze to Koganei, who had lost credibility.

Whoever it is, it does not discriminate, it does not separate, it rushes to the plight of its companions, and it defeats its refreshments and enemies.

In that way, I can't be myself. I can't be.

So if the filter goes out, your body won't move at all. I'm frustrated by fear, and I can't do anything. Even the sight of my classmate hurting in front of me doesn't burn my angry heart.

- Come on, uhh...!

- That's pretty shabby.

- Waygan, use something more powerful!

- ignite the surrounding trees.

The exchange of dog gods and adventurers drove this feeling of impatience. Second, your sitting area points your gaze towards the wall field. From her body, which is the very wall of black paint, there is no emotion. I have no idea what you're thinking.

Only then did your sitting area realize that Chiharu Waluno's body was trembling slightly. At the same time, when I was human, I remember her. She was tall and always tied her mouth, intimidating and difficult to talk to. Your sitting area, which has been with you since you were a young girl, has become completely obscure about her. Ironhide, a woman with a wall in her heart, and her seat was well in tune with what was said scattered in the shadows.

The girlfriend is shaking a little. I'm scared. Just like myself now. It's happening right in front of you, in a tragic state of affairs.

"... Princess Shui"

Misatsu spoke to Rin, who had been tactical with Umaru, pompous.

"What?"

Even if the conversation is interrupted, she asks back in a gentle voice, without even showing frustration.

"... How did Mr. Princess Shui overcome the filter loss?

"You can't overcome it. Once the filter is out, the scary ones will remain scary."

Rin replied quietly, calmly, but clearly.

"But if there's anything more scary than that, you're gonna have to do it. I mean."

"What's scary?

"Next to Kyosuke-kun, you have to put your chest up and stop lining up. Oh, I don't have breasts right now. I mean I'm going back to being human...... Oh, I don't have a breast when I go back to being a human. That's not what I meant."

"Princess Shui..."

Umaru was throwing a frightened voice at Rin, who started his excuse for not knowing by himself.

Your sitting area rebuts that word Rin asked you to say. Once the filter runs out, the scary stuff stays scary all the time. The dullness in this leg will never go away. But still, if there's anything more scary than that, I can't help but move my body.

Now, what is the scariest thing, what is it? Hold down your trembling body and think desperately.

As you think about it, you get the answer. When I got the answer, indeed, just a little, the body tremor became smaller.

"Umaru, Princess Shui..."

Your sitting area, compared to earlier, said this with some clear voice.

"I'll make a gap for the adventurer with the knife."

"Are you okay?"

"It's not okay, though."

Rin's words shook his seat.

"If I stay like this, I feel like the scariest thing will happen to me..."

Waygan's unleashed, several times lightning attribute magic, burned the dog gami. Covering his body, he is a desperate, magically enduring dolphin, but he can't fight back any more than he has Azkialai on hand here. However, no matter how many opponents were monsters, it didn't feel very good to have things in the shape of human girls in this way, even as wombats.

"(Would it have been easier if I'd just cut my neck off with a knife)"

Weigan is an offensive one-sided wizard, and he doesn't carry binds and other convenient things with him. Inevitably, Wombat must be securing Azkialai. With Weigan's poor arm, he could have gotten away with it.

Doing this so far and being breathless means that this Lycanslope called Inugami may be somewhat resistant to magic attacks. With his hands on the ground, Wombat switched knives when he saw the dog gami repeatedly breathing rough. With an arm holding Azkialai, hold the knife as it is. With an empty arm, I took out another knife.

"No, no...!

Can you imagine what you would do? Azkialai has been clinging to my arm.

"Hey, let go"

"No, no! You, now Mr. Dog God..."

"You can let it go anyway, but you're going to die of Weigan's magic! You'd better make it easier!

"No! No...!

It would have been easier to shake it off, but meanwhile, Inugami's golden eyes stare at this one. The moment I waved Azkialai around here, I suddenly turned into a silver wolf, not necessarily without being attacked. Wombat punches his tongue and gently pulls the knife.

"Ah..."

Pi, and a muscle of red line runs on its cheek. Immediately after, the blood swelled up from the wound. When the red blood touched the atmosphere, it became colorless and clear water, flowing out of Azkialai's cheek.

"Holy shit......!

Inugami stares at Wombat, repeatedly breathing rough.

"Don't put your hands in the wash...!

"Then be quiet and get killed. I don't even want to do anything extra over here!

It was when Wombat screamed. "Something" popped out of the bush in a straight line. It was like a sphere, but more than that, I don't even know what it is. It just drew a sudden curve along the way and captured Wombat accurately at hand.

"Whoa......!

For a moment, remove the knife.

At that moment Azkialai shook Wombat's hand off forcefully.

"Oh, fuck...!

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Wombat wields the remaining knife toward Azkialai, who escaped. But at the same time, Inugami jumped this way, roughly with a growl that was impossible to produce in the human vocal cords, but as a human being. The tremendous power exerted from the luxurious arms pushes Wombat's shoulder and slaps him to the ground.

"Ku......!

I stabbed the knife as hard as I could into the belly of a horse riding dog gami. Keep trying to determine the peritoneal cavity. but the face of Inugami, approaching the point of bumping her forehead, was transformed all at once. The golden eyes are filled with tremendous killing and hostility, and the mouth is torn to the ear, and the growing fangs salivate to this side.

Wombat pressed his jaw with one arm and took out the knife with the other, this time aiming and poking at that eyeball.

"Grrr!"

The silver wolf screams and turns back. Wombat succeeded in crawling out into that gap.

"Waygang!"

Wombat calls the names of his fellow adventurers. The sorcerer Weygan had just finished his chant at that moment and was about to release an elaborate blade of wind towards Inugami.

"Come on!

Yet another voice sounds and a black shadow pops out of the bush. He looked like a bird with his protruding mouth and wings spread out, but it wrapped more clothes from the top of his feathers, growing his arms. The growing arm struck Weigan with momentum.

"It's Crow Teng!

Wombat screams.

"Terra! How dare you wash your hands with the dog god!

Crow Teng slams Weigan into a nearby tree as he stirs his anger in his voice. Wombat pulled out the knife and now projected it towards the crow teng.

"Whoa!?

The knife stands upright against the crow teng arm. Weigan managed, at that moment, to escape the confinement of the crow teng. The crow teng looks back here and waves the large leaves in his right hand. The wind deflected and the blade of air released, but Wombat managed to get past it by hiding in the shade of the tree.

It is the turmoil in these shielded places that can be said to exert the main power of the sheaf. But the situation was just too inclined.

Crow Teng pulled out the knife that stabbed him in the arm and threw it on the ground. Lycanslope's Inugami is also roaring with her teeth peeled out with a knife sticking out in one eye. Azkialai escaped and disappeared. Nuricabe remained standing there as usual.

The situation was glued. If someone moves, someone else moves to stop it. Those were the conditions.

"Ka, Umaru......!

Nuricabe squeaks.

"Walkino, stay still. And there's your seat."

"I'll lay your throne...? But..."

"The only reason he moved was because I didn't want him to be in terrible sight as far as Waluno. Guess what."

Crow Teng hasn't failed to be vigilant here, not to mention in the conversation. Inugami had heard the story and was sniffing with Hung.

What do you want, Wombat? If it's something you can get away with, you want to get away with it, but the enemy is the bestialized Lycanthrope and Crow Teng. Whatever the sheaf is, it's not something the magician can get away with on his feet. Even considering Weigan's "Agility", which was specifically numbered (status) in the Adventurer Alliance, it's obvious.

Even if we run away, we need to make a big gap. From what I've seen, there seems to be a strong sense of union between the enemies, but that's not based on a certain professionalism, like an adventurer party.

A high degree of empathy that cares for your wounded companions. That's one thing.

Of these, the ones that seem the most targeted and unfamiliar with combat. Wombat sent a quick hand sign and Weigan nodded at it too. Weigan quickly set up his wand and began his magic chant.

Crow teng reacts first and wields leaves like fans (fans). But Wombat, who was reading you move first, projected a knife with his crow teng arm gripping the leaves.

"Gu......!

Crow teng to remove leaves. Leaf left his arm and danced flickering.

Almost at the same time, a silver wolf flies toward Wombat. From the knife-throwing motion, it slipped straight into the wall of the great tree, leading to evasion. The big front leg of the dog gami crashed into the trunk, and the nail cut its surface wide open.

Two seconds until Waygan's magic chant is complete. Wombat took the last knife out of his nostalgia and made a third projection toward the crow teng. This time it was only a hit, but Crow Teng, who sensibly perceived the attack, takes only a few moments to evade.

One more second. With his roaring voice, Inugami decided to mess up the trunk of the great tree. Push down that tree, which has greatly upset the root balance, with its whole body toward Wombat. And it was to be laid low, and Wombat dodged to jump in, and there he saw a silver wolf approaching with a big mouth in front of him.

0 seconds. The magic of the waygun is activated. His specialty lightning attribute magic scorched the atmosphere, and now he was fired at a nesting nulicabe.

Chiharu Waluno, who stood idly by and could only watch the battle, did not realize, until that moment, that he was the object of an attack. The magic unleashed by the adventurer is the same thing that had been unleashed against the dog god many times before that. It ripped straight through the sky and flew toward us.

"Mr. Murano!

I hear a voice like that coming from behind me, and one little boy pops up. The boy jumps to block himself and the slash of lightning and takes that direct hit.

"Ugh!

"Lay your throne down!?

It is the person of his classmate, Kiyosuke Miyagi, who did not always hide in his own shadow and assert himself. The sitting area screamed and fell to the ground, and it remained ticklish and motionless.

"Lay down your throne!

"Sit down!

Following Waluno, Umaru also looks back and screams.

Just there, I heard a scream from the front that made my hair stick.

"Ghaaaa!!

The open sight of the Wall Node makes the sight disappointing. A dog god who jumped on one of his adventurers bit him on the shoulder and ate up the meat. More nails swoop wide through the meat on his back, but the wounded but the adventurer, runs away quickly.

The wizard adventurer also ran out to chase the escaped adventurer. But shortly afterwards, an arm popped out of the ground trying to stain it captures the adventurer's leg.

The adventurer fell and saw his own feet. There, a blue translucent arm grows from the ground, holding it down disappointingly and not letting it go. There was not only one arm that had stained out of the ground, but it completely restrained the magician's body as it was.

"Oh, hey, hey... hey...!

"I'll have you penalize me for just breaking my promise"

The familiar voice is slightly angry. It belonged to Rin Himemizu. Eventually, out of the ground, she reveals herself in its entirety, tying up the adventurer's body in a volume several times larger than usual. He took the wand from his arm and held his mouth to completely seal the magic.

"Princess Shui, I'll lay your throne!

Waluno screams. The rushing Oumaru rocked the body of your sitting area.

Direct strike of thunder magic. No noticeable trauma. It's an attack that the Dog God had eaten many times. I think this is the case, but as a matter of fact, your sitting area doesn't move perfectly. A face like a little girl kept her eyes closed.

Rin and Azuki, who had hidden in the shade behind her, also rushed over here, and the dog god, who had followed the adventurer to the back, came back after a while.

"Ugh... Ugh..."

Eventually, the sitting area wanders and slowly opens its eyes.

"I'll lay your throne...!

"Or, Mr. Waluno...... Good...... Safe..."

"Idiot! That's our line!

If it's true, I just wanted to hold your sitting area, which says it's stubborn. I've never felt so bad that I don't have arms. Until then, the dog god with a strange face, humming his nose, did the trick of squirming his jaw toward Wumaru.

"Oh, my God, you're falling out."

Umaru also makes a sound like the tension has been resolved.

Pull the knife out of the eye of the dog god. Pew, and blood scattered, and the dog god leaked a small scream.

"Dog god, it's okay......?

Azuki asks, the dog god nods. Umaru observed the face of the dog god as he threw the knife out onto the ground.

"If you look closely at this, you haven't stabbed me in the eye. Right next to your eyes. It looks painful because it's bleeding."

"That's right, you got lucky"

Wumaru crouches as he is and also pulls out the knife that is piercing into the belly of the dog god. I also tried to check my belly wound as it was, and I was slapped in the back of the head as much as I wanted on the front leg of the dog god and slammed into the ground with every couch.

"Muggles!

"I wonder if the belly wound was off the steep too. You're in luck."

Azuki said, and the dog god nodded again.

"With that said, you looked like you got a direct hit, too, okay? I don't know if he's burned or anything."

"Ugh, yeah...... Looks fine...... I don't know."

"... thanks for your help"

"Ugh, yeah......"

When Murano thanked him, his seat scratched his cheek and missed his gaze.

When this timid, shy guy popped up for me, I was a little surprised and happy. Murano wanted to put that feeling into words, but in the end, I don't see any other option but to say thank you.

"Do you want to go home then?"

Rin, who remained silent until then, suddenly cracks his mouth open. She was slowly crawling on the ground, still holding one of the adventurers in captivity.

"Talk to Kyosuke and the others about his treatment of this adventurer and think carefully."

"If you're lucky, so is this guy."

Pull the couch off the ground, Umaru says.

"If your sitting area was dead or the dog god was hurt worse, you might have broken one of your arms on your stomach."

"Ka, Umaru... I don't think that's a very good idea..."

"Right. That's not good."

Azuki protests modestly. Rin nodded too. Perhaps only Umaru hasn't run out of filters in this, so inevitably his words and actions become radical. Well, the dog god might have said the same thing if he spoke.

With his mouth blocked, the adventurer was protesting something, but naturally it doesn't make sense.

"But in fact, I'm glad your seat, your dog god, and your hand wash are safe."

"It's all because of your courage."

Rin replied to Waluno's voice relaxing. However, the person sitting there is putting his hand on his mouth and thinking about it with a difficult face.

"What's going on? Lay your throne."

"... maybe I could have woken up to phase two"

In the sitting area whining with a strange voice, we all leak 'oh'.

"Seriously. Congratulations, your seat. What kind of ability is that?

"I'm not sure... There is a description of the seated child's Phase 2 abilities in the materials that Mr. Hongjing brought. According to that......"

"" "" According to that?

The voices of all but the Dog God were simultaneously summoned.

Your sitting area looks up, looks at the same face, and the face of the adventurer who remains restrained by Rin. He answered this, somewhat reluctantly, but with a clear and proud voice.

"Better luck for those around you, apparently"
