What I imagined was a lot of stabbing pain in the back.
The wooden box is cracked and the fragments of the shattered bottle scatter a strong smell of alcohol, attacking me covered in a veil trying to protect Allen.
First of all, it must be serious.
It will hurt immensely.
That's why I put my strength into my arms to hold my teeth and support my body, so that Allen wouldn't crush you under me.
"Kaito!?"
Impact on back.
A strong smell of alcohol pouring down your head and back.
But there is no pain.
After only a few seconds of shock, Allen looked up at me with his eyes wide open.
In the meantime, push back the stacked crates and bottle fragments on your back before you know the situation.
"... fu, nh!"
Be careful not to scatter the fragments of the bottle while using physical reinforcement.
Combined with that, I touched my back and head - my clothes were torn and holes were opened everywhere, but I didn't bleed or get injured.
"... thanks to physical strengthening..."
In the past, using physical enhancement would not have been as harmless.
The effect is obviously getting stronger.
Maybe it's getting a little stronger while I'm not using my powers?
Kite!
I can hear Schiff screaming.
If you look at the voice, you can see the Shif jumping out of the carriage trying to change his blood phase and come here.
"Sif, I'm sorry. Strengthen your body..."
"They're still falling!"
"Eh!?"
If you look at the wooden crate piled up in Shif's hasty voice, you can see that another wooden crate mountain is falling down here like an avalanche.
Shit! I was completely relieved because I prevented it the first time!
Once again, when I activated physical fortification and tried to protect Allen, something black broke in between us and the crate.
"Yuran!?"
!!
With black armor, Yuran pushed his arms forward against the crate.
There's no stopping the crate pile that collapses with that much action! At that moment, a purple aura resembling the scale of a dragon emerged from Yuran's hands.
"Eh!?"
It prevents wooden boxes like walls.
The power of Yuran, which has never been shown before.
I'd like to ask you a few questions, but first let's check on Allen's safety.
"... Allen, are you hurt?"
Uh-huh.
"I'm glad..."
I stood up slowly, paying for the fragments of the bottle attached to my clothes. I checked my injuries and looked around.
There was a street from the beginning, so it seemed to attract attention there.
"Kate, are you okay?"
Kyuu!
Sif and Lime are coming to me.
I smiled bitterly at them as they approached me with some hesitation after drinking from my head.
"Sif, just now..."
"Don't apologize."
Shif said such a word before I said everything. [M]
He jumps onto my sat knee and looks at me. [M]
"The man we recognize as the Lord is not a man who is immobile in that situation. There's nowhere to apologize to me."
"... thank you, Sif."
Hmm.
Sif nods confidently.
Thanking him for his care, two men pop out from the back of the building where the crate was stowed.
Two men in front of their twenties lost their words when they saw the tragedy of the alley to the magnificent man.
"Oh, hey, what's going on here!? Are you okay?!"
A big man is rushing towards us.
Perhaps he was in charge of the fallen crate.
As a party, I will explain how I got here. [M]
The big man who heard the explanation yells at the young man.
"Stupid bastard!! I told you not to load that crate properly!! I almost had a dead man out!!"
"Su, I'm sorry!!"
Was it loaded by the rookie?
The store manager looks at me as sorry as a big man who scolded a young man. [M]
"I'm sorry. Looks like we got him in the wrong eye. Apart from redemption, let's get dressed for now."
"Thank you."
I'm glad...
Honestly, I was getting drunk just because of the smell of alcohol on my clothes.
There was no reason to refuse, so I nodded at the manager's words and turned to Allen, who was hiding behind my back.
"Allen, is the house close?"
"... yeah"
Well then, I'll send it to you. You'll still be scared. "
"Oh, thank you! Kite Brother!"
After getting dressed, I will first safely escort Allen home and then talk to him here. [M]
It's not my fault and Allen that the crate fell, but I have to explain myself as a party.
……
Nh?
When I was talking to Allen, Yulan approached me with a slightly suspicious behavior. [M]
"Thank you, Yuran. Thanks for saving me."
……
"Was that really cool?"
……!
Yuran raised his face and nodded happily.
Listen to him later.
I would like to thank Yuran for helping me now.
●
A warm job unlike when you were in the Demon King Army.
That's what I first felt when I started working as an adventurer.
"You're swallowing fast! Mr. Iris!"
"I see. I don't think we're up to the standard yet...."
The owner of the flower shop, Monica, taught me to transfer the flowers to potted plants.
Potted soil, fertilizer, etc., and then planted flowers.
That kind of work was very difficult for me.
Therefore, what was made at the end of the work did not look good to me.
"Not everyone can be perfect from the beginning."
But Monica didn't laugh at it.
The Rokude Nashi executives in the Demon King Army were all outdoors below Goblin's head who were scorning people for their roughness, but the people they met in this city were very different.
"One by one, you can build on what you can."
"Stacking....."
"Yes, it's important to seek perfection...."
An ugly flower planted in a potted plant I made.
Lifting it gently with both hands, she smiles gently.
"Do I like being like this?"
My chest hurts.
My heart is about to rip apart.
I feel guilty, even though I'm the same kind of person as the Rokude Nashi.
Rifa is a pure and gentle child compared to Nia of the Gorilla Amazones, who only fights in his head.
Kite is a gentle and caring boy who can easily be missed by a wizard.
Lyla is a good person who speaks normally to me in such a bright, dark and suspicious way.
Can I stay here?
Will I be allowed to stay here?
As it is... don't you have to return to the Demon King Army?
Speaking of which, Kate, you guys are late.
"! Ah, oh, yeah."
Reply to Monica's voice.
Aware of what I was thinking and in a state of great self-loathing, the carriage that Kite pulled with the first bouquet of flowers stood in front of the flower shop where Monica and I were.
"Ah, you're back."
As Monica murmured, Kite entered the store with Yuran, a black armored monster who had returned.
Monica, who saw Kite, was stunned.
"Well, what's the matter? That dress."
There was so much going on.
Kite with a slender expression was dressed differently than when she left here.
And the apron on the neck is not from the flower shop.
Anyway, it had a big embroidery of the word "hard” on its chest.
"Hmm...."
As I recall, until today, Kite has acted beyond my expectations several times.
But that's why I'm so confused.
