"The orcs flew through the sky and attacked me!
The reports of the adventurers running into the Adventurer Alliance in a worn out appearance were incredible.
"Uh, Mr. Rex? Ever heard of flying oaks?
"No, I don't either. Where's Mr. Liliera?
"I've never heard that before, either."
Tell Liliera, who has listened in a small voice, that I do not know when I think back to my previous life and previous memories.
Orcs are pig demons as seen, and I've never seen orcs flying in the sky with flying magic.
Maybe he attacked me on a flying demon, but given the orc's habit, I think he eats more than he keeps.
More importantly, the oak is heavy, so it's impossible for a half-breed demon to fly on it.
"Calm down, there's no way an orc can fly through the sky"
The adventurers, who seem to have thought the same thing as me, try to calm the adventurers who complain of confusion.
"It's true! Oak really flew through the sky and hit me! I'm surprised we don't know why. But they actually attacked me!
Desperate, worn out adventurers complain in a way they don't think you're lying very much.
……
But everyone was skeptical of the word flying oak, and just looked far-flung at how it reacted.
That's right, I don't know how much you fly, but I don't think the adventurers will be unconscious to just the extent of the oak.
"Please calm down. Where the hell did that... flying oak hit you?
And that's where Mr. Elma cracks in.
"Whatever the credibility of the testimony, it is true that these people were attacked. First, sharing information will be a top priority."
"Oh, oh..."
"Oh, yeah."
"You, go to church and bring in a healing magic user!
"Yes!
When Ms. Elma calls an official person, she instructs them to call a person from the church
"Oh, I'll treat you!
Mr. Norb, who returned me to Mr. Elma's words, casts a healing magic on the wounded adventurer.
"... thank goodness. The pain is gone."
"You're welcome."
"Thank you, Mr. Norb. So can I tell you a story about when you were attacked by an orc?
"Ah, oh. We were attacked on a plain about an hour west of here."
"An hour!? In such close proximity!?"
Mr. Elma rounds his eyes for an unexpectedly close raid.
"Oh, we didn't expect to be attacked in a place like that either. It's from the sky with no trees or high platforms around it."
"So did you tell the story to the guards at the entrance to town?
"Oh, of course. I've been running all the way to town in bloody blood, and they immediately asked me what was going on. He said he would assemble people and go on a crusade soon. My people are being treated at the guard's garrison because they were seriously wounded. I'm here to report to the guild because I was the shallowest scratch in the party."
"... I guess. In the worst case scenario, travelers and merchants walking down the street could be attacked, so the guards would be surprised."
Mr. Elma turns to Mr. Adventurer again when he shows his sleigh of thinking about something.
"I'll confirm, you were attacked by an oak from above on a plain an hour west of here."
"Oh, yeah. It was sudden, so we don't really know how it was attacked. It's just that the pork noodles and the ringing definitely belonged to orcs."
"Okay. I'm going to report this matter to the Guild Manager. Gentlemen, as I've heard, there seems to be an oak roaming the western plains making an unknown attack. And the guards are on their way, so don't go to the west plain if you don't need help avoiding trouble."
"Yes, sir."
"Well, whatever the guard is, I don't want the Knights to stare at me."
The adventurers seem unwilling to respond to the instructions given by Elma.
And when Mr. Elma disappears into the back of the guild, the adventurers rise together and head to the requisition board.
"Wow!? What's all of a sudden!?"
"Huh? Huh?
To the adventurers who moved out of nowhere, Gyro, you are turning your eyes round.
Or I was surprised, too. What the hell is going on?
Everybody's going to the west plain.
It was Liliera who answered our questions like that.
"Huh? But don't go to the western plains now..."
"Yeah, you said it. Except for people who don't need it. I mean, you can go if you need me."
"" "" "" "" "" "" "
"But there's a dangerous demon, and he said not to cause trouble with the guards, right? Then you don't have to bother getting a request to go to the west plain? If anything happens to you, I think that's what you're gonna get."
To Mr. Norb's doubts, Gyro and you snort. Honestly, I doubt it either.
"Ha ha, you're a stupid honest kid"
and the adventurer with the request form there joins the conversation.
"Well, Elma told us to gather information carefully so we wouldn't get into trouble with the guards."
"" "" "Secret cipher!?" ""
"Oh, when it's important for a lord or a country to move, Zara also has a nasty request for the Adventurer Alliance. I want information that will serve as a negotiating material so that we won't be used against the unscrupulous behavior of a great man who doesn't know the scene. That's for the guild, for us adventurers."
"" "" "Heh" "" "
That's what you meant as long as you got it done.
"Besides, the adventurer's actions are all his own fault. The Alliance doesn't have the right to inhibit the actions of adventurers, does it? Well, except for the forbidden areas that the country banned us from entering."
"That's what happened. By the way, reporting the information you get on this matter to the Alliance doesn't mean you'll get extra rewards, but it could happen to increase the rate at which the material is bought or affect your rank-up assessment."
You mean it affects the real assessment.
"Well, top ranked adventurers, because their contribution to the Alliance also affects their assessment. Mr. Rex, it's like he's confirmed his promotion to S-rank because he did a great job of opening a street across the Forest of Warcraft. If it's normal, it's a lifetime plan."
"Uh, I don't know what to do. I think I know what they're gonna say."
"Chengdu, if it was normal, it would have been normal to build up these plain feats and rank them up"
"Now we know why you've all risen together."
"Yeah, the chance to contribute for sure is important"
And there you see me, Gyro.
"That's why."
"To rank us up, too."
"Work on the West Plains."
"Take it!"
"Oh, yeah, I guess it's good"
……
Everyone is willing to go to rank up.
This is how we searched the western plains for mysterious flying oaks.
◆
"Well, let's just say we're looking for a rumored oak."
As with the other adventurers, we were asked in the western meadows to leave town immediately and head to the place where the monster sightings were located.
"Damn, there's rivals everywhere. We flew in."
Gyro regrets that the other adventurers have already arrived.
"You can't help it. I was late in the reception queue at the desk."
"Those people have horses. I think it moved as soon as I heard the receptionist."
"In that sense, we're one step behind skilled seniors."
Ms Megli and Mr Norb honestly praise the hands of those who had already arrived here.
Sure, those people's behavior, no, the speed of their decisions is amazing.
"Well, don't you have to worry?
But Mr. Liliera didn't seem to care at all.
What's that supposed to mean? I think we're already pretty late, huh?
"You know, we flew all the way here, didn't we? Normally, it's faster to fly than to come with a horse."
That said, Mr. Liliera points to the adventurers he sees around him.
"I mean, there's not as much difference between us and them as everyone thinks."
"Sure if you ask me..."
"So..."
Liliera says as she looks at me.
"I can check the magnitude of the bullshit, Mr. Rex's exploratory magic will help you figure out where the flying oak is in no time."
"" "" "... if you ask me!!" ""
"Could you do me a favor, Mr. Rex?
"If that's the case."
I use exploratory magic to confirm the reaction of the surrounding demons. [M]
Then...
"Oh, there's a demon population reaction about thirty minutes southwest."
"" "" "" Yes!
"Plus there's a few human reactions. Maybe the adventurers have already made contact."
"I knew it, but it's really wide. Mr. Rex's range of exploratory magic..."
"Gutsy, even though my exploratory magic only tells me about 300 meters around..."
"Mina, comparing it to Rex is the problem. Mina's amazing enough too."
"Thanks."
Mina, who seems to regret it, is comforted by Megri, but I think Mina, with some more training, will soon be able to explore on a few kilometres.
This kind of thing is as soon as you learn the trick.
"All right! Let's get out of here!
When we go up into the sky, we head to a place where there was a reaction between flying oak and a bumpy demon.
"Oh, that!
Then I point the other way to see if Mr. Megli just discovered something.
"There's more than one flying creature out there. Doesn't look like a bird from a silhouette, maybe a hit?
"Like Rex said, there's people on the ground... yeah, they're obviously fighting!
"You should go cover soon!
We hurry to rescue the people being attacked.
"Wait, guys! Maybe he's not struggling. In that case, even if this one was bona fide, they might think that the other one had been robbed of his prey. So the rule is to take a word of confirmation before attacking the enemy!
Whoa, yeah.
It's hard to take away the prey.
"Okay, Mr. Liliera!
"Whoa! Okay! For now, I'll cover you before you attack.
"Yeah, that's good!
As I approached the scene, I saw the situation.
"Is that armor from the Guard?
It was the guards guarding the entrance to the town of Togai who were being attacked by demons.
"Sounds like you weren't an adventurer ahead of you."
"Okay, that won't be a prey takeover!
"Sorry! We need backup... you know?
It was us who tried to come in immediately for cover, but I saw so many different sights there that I doubted my eyes.
"Hey, what are you doing?!?"
It was definitely the oak that was attacking the guards.
"Oh, is that... orc...?
Though it was an unusual looking oak that produced large feathers like angels from its back.
It filled the sky like a flock of birds.
"Oaku with wings!?"
"What are you talking about? I've never seen an oak like that before!
"Bumowow!"
The feathered oaks are being attacked by guards directly beneath them with their wings flanked.
Obviously the wings are winged, and they really fly with those wings!?
The figure is reminiscent of the skymen we met on the floating island, but unlike their crop feathers, the feathers of these orcs look real.
I can't believe such an orc existed...
What those adventurers said was true!
"Hey, isn't it too bad they have to help you sooner than that!?"
And you come into us like that, Gyro, calmly.
That's what I was! There are wounded people out there, and we need to help those people fast!
"Oh yeah! Crusade that feathered oak first!
Nevertheless, if you suddenly join the fight, as Mr. Elma also said, you could be in trouble with the guards.
We need to have a proper voice here before we do.
"I'll cover you!
Again, raising my voice, I kick the orc that strikes the guard with physical enhancement magic.
"Oh, whoa!?"
"I'm an Adventurer Guild Adventurer! I happen to have received a request near here, but I came to rescue you when I saw you all being attacked! Was it extra blame?
"No, that was very helpful! Rescue, thank you!
Good, they're not going to be in trouble for now.
"There are many! I'll drop him on the ground first!
I give instructions to everyone to crash the flying oak.
Flying enemies are basically dropped on the ground first!
"Gravity Fall!"
I activate gravitational magic to knock the flying oaks off the ground.
"" "" Bumowowow!? "" "
The orcs, whose bodies suddenly became heavy, fell to the ground without being able to fly.
"What are you talking about? It's obviously range magic, but the guards in the range aren't doing anything!?"
As Mina says, the orcs that fell on the ground are still under the influence of gravitational magic, but the guards have not managed.
"Yeah, the magic of Gravity Fall is the magic that keeps the first person in the range you specify from moving with gravity for a certain amount of time. So if you drop them in the air, the guards on the ground won't be affected."
"Obviously explained the intricate magic!?"
It's not that complicated of magic, is it?
"Here we go!
"Let's hunt!
"Cucum!"
Gyro, who was waiting on the ground, attacked the orcs just waiting.
"" "Bu, Bumowo!
"Ha-ha! You guys fell to the ground. You're just orcs!
"Well, not a big opponent."
"Cuuuuu."
"Bumowow!!"
Around one, there was an oak feathered by Moffmoff, but well, he's reducing his enemies, okay?
As such, my gravitational magic sealed the motion and the orcs were defeated without a busy counterattack.
"Area heels!
"Oh, the wound!
"Sorry, thanks..."
Mr. Norb will treat the soldiers while we deal with the orcs.
And by the end of everyone's treatment, the Orcs' crusade was over.
"Everybody's tired."
"Well, you weren't a big opponent."
"Well, I was surprised by the way you looked, but that's all you could have done if you actually fought."
"Cucumber!"
I hope Moffmoff didn't make a big deal out of it. He rides over the flying oaks and wings.
That's for submission, but, well, is that about enough for Moffmoff to hunt himself?
There are many carcasses of flying oak.
"Yet you were very calm earlier, Gyro, weren't you? I've met a demon I've never seen before, and I've suggested things to do without upsetting me at all."
I admire your sober judgment, Gyro.
Then Gyro laughed lightly, and this is what happened.
"No, not so much. I just thought you knew a demon I didn't know, but a brother I knew. Then I'd rather fight than be surprised what I don't know and think about it after I defeat you."
"Oh, that's what happened..."
You weren't surprised by the situation, you didn't have to know. You made a decision.
That worries me about your future, Gyro, because he has Mina and the others.
Maybe that's how partying leaves the role to others.
"You guys."
And there comes the guards.
"Is your injury okay?
"Oh, thanks to you."
"That's more than anything."
Looks like all the guards were safe thanks to Mr. Norb's treatment.
"But it's a big deal. These weird, nasty flying oaks are so light..."
"It looked odd, because it was just an oak except I could fly through the sky. Drop it on the ground and you'll be able to take it down."
"That doesn't seem easy... thanks anyway. You owe me your lives."
It tickles me when they say that much.
"Thanks to you, you risked your life to miss us. You didn't have to waste the captain's will."
Huh? What does that mean? Could anyone still be attacked by demons?
"What do you mean, captain?
"Oh, we've come all the way here to investigate if there's still any remnants of the Oak Empire left, but the captain himself was ordered to bring information back to us when a monster orc attacked him, or was wiped out."
"What?!? We need to get to the rescue immediately!
"I can't wait to do that, but we have to get that monster oak information back. Plus, we need to report on the flying oak earlier. Besides, the captain won't be alive anymore..."
"That's not true! The captain is a former A-rank adventurer!
"That's right! Plus that guy has dragon armor. If I had an alley, I could handle that monster!
When one of the guards groans remorsefully, the other guards say that nothing like that, and the captain who stays as a squealer screams that he is still alive.
What, that? The characteristics, I think it sounds kind of familiar...
"Ex-A rank? And dragon armor?
"Oh, the captain was an adventurer, but after accomplishing such feats as obtaining armor with dragon materials on a harsh adventure, or solo crusade for B-rank demons, he was finally immediately solicited by the Knight by the Lord!
"Um... what's that person's name..."
What if...
"" "Captain Aug, come on!
"" "" "I knew it!!" ""
It was about Mr. Org!
