Almost at the same time Nicole was headed to the pioneering village in the north, Michelle and Cloud had arrived in the city of Strahl.

Strahl, never a small town, but the shock of the demon raid echoed across the city, and confusion and perplexity could be seen in the faces of those who went round and round.

"What's going on, this?

"I don't know. Anyway, go to the guild and give me some info..."

First gather information at a gathering place for adventurers. This decision is the same as Nicole's.

Even if Michelle looks like this, she has an eight-year track record of adventurers.

Even without Nicole, we can make a situation decision on the spot.

"Isn't that Michelle, just in time!

"Ah, Mr. Haumea"

When I suddenly looked in the direction of being heard, there was a pair of elves there.

Two of them, Haumea and Cole, taught the Michelles how to fight melee with bows before.

"What's wrong with this city?

"Yeah. We've just arrived too, and I heard that a demon god with two big swords of everything has raided three of them."

"The demon god... and the twin swords, he said he might have discussed it with Laid, that?

"Maybe the same guy as that. Mr. Gaddles and Mr. Reid... No, Mr. Nicole knocked me down, so I heard you got nothing... Mr. Reid and Mr. Nicole are mixed up, and it seems a little confused?

"Wait, Lady Reid said it was Nicole?

To Haumea's words, Cloud raised his dismay. Michelle, too, is puckering her mouth like a surprise.

"Really? Finia called Nicole Laid instead of Nicole. So now the city is in even greater chaos."

"No, no, no, that's true. Nicole uses yarn, though! I had, like, physical surgery that didn't suit my age... but...?

"Cloud, isn't that more of a convincing conclusion?

"No, but! 'Cause it's Nicole, right? You're a dodgy boy who's always stomping on you, aren't you?

"That's Nicole's a dodge, but she's not cute there! No, I'm not."

"Hey, how long have you been stopping!

Michelle waved her arm and defended that she had done so, but the carriage that came behind her yelled at her and reluctantly moved the carriage to the side of the road.

The city of Strahl is a fairly large city, so the streets are also secured with two carriages that can pass through.

The cloud traveled with him, getting off the carriage and facing the Haumeas.

"So? Can you elaborate?"

"Yeah, actually -"

Haumea let the cloud talk a series of streams, as requested by the cloud.

Finished listening to a series of streams, Cloud wonders about Phinea's attitude.

"That Mr. Finia is the confusion? You're lying to me."

"No, it's true. At first, he seemed to be dealing with it calmly, but he yelled out just after the enemy reinforcements arrived. I've heard so many stories, it sounds pretty sure."

"Even we were suspicious at first. But I've heard the same story from more than five adventurers."

"Mr. Cole, you spoke."

"I'm just an oligarchy. I'm aware of my bad love."

"Excuse me, I'm just kidding"

I couldn't help but overhear Michelle trying to tear up the place by joking about the content of too many stories, but I could hear a scream there that would strike a further chase.

"Hey, the demons are here again! Where is Master Gaddles!?

"Again!? What the hell is going on, today!

"Master Gaddles has gone to Lord Lyell! Nicole...... no, with Lady Reid!

"Damn, you're asking us to deal with that one alone!

We must fight the demon gods without the Gaddles of defense. Those who go to the city to that fact have a look of despair.

Several dead have already been killed in the earlier raids. That's why I knew the demon god's high ability to attack.

Look at that, the cloud makes a decision.

"Let's go! You two, get the injured back!

"Oh, Cloud, are you going to fight? Looks like a pretty dangerous opponent."

"It would be obvious. Rest assured. There's Michelle in the back, so it'll be over soon!

In fact, the cloud is receiving Kaoru every day from Gaddles and is becoming a master of protection. He's inconspicuous because Nicole and Michelle are both too conspicuous.

And because Finia is too versatile.

But still, his strength is to the knowledge of his surroundings. If he gets out on the front line, the morale on the battlefield will go up without denial either.

"Michelle, please"

"Let me go!

Nevertheless, Michelle's bow cannot deal effective damage. Immediate defeat requires full force shooting of the Silver Bow (Third Eye).

That attack can only release the power of a bangle granted the magic of rigidity, and it can only last three minutes.

Since then, Michelle has suffered from muscle pain and cannot be expected as a force of war.

"Three bodies first, I wish that was the end of it, even more integrated. At this rate, we don't know how many."

"Right. If so, can't I use this?

Michelle lets him gently stroke his bracelet. If we use that power, we can overcome that crisis, but we will not be able to cope with subsequent raids.

If she becomes incapable of combat with the greatest offensive power in this city of Strahl, the loss is immeasurable.

"Michelle's after the gap for now. Aim for her eyes, mouth or something. I managed to outwit the attack."

"Yeah, okay. But don't be impotent, okay?

"Wait, the kids are so ready, there's no way we can watch, is there?

"Mr. Haumea, can you help me?"

"Of course."

To the two who offer their cooperation, the cloud leaks its gratitude.

Fighting strong enemies. The two elves are not tied to this city. Then they should also have the option to escape.

Even so, it is only natural that the cloud should be touched because it confronts us with danger.

Michelle moves the carriage silently out of tension, and the cloud rides again to follow it.

The battle of that day lasted until the sun tilted, and the demon god was finally taken over.

Cloud was badly wounded, but there was nothing else in his life, and Michelle struggled until she shot out an arrow as well.

This further increased the name of Bow Saint Michelle, and the Cloud, as an unbeatable hero, made his name in the history of Strahl.
