Following Rio's signal, Christina and the others rush through the street bridge at a tremendous rate.

"Become!?

Stunning raiders' voices leak out of the shadows of rocks and trees standing nearby.

The opponent who was about to ambush him sensed his movements for some reason and, conversely, he was struck first. There's no way I wouldn't be surprised.

But there was someone who returned it to me first.

"Follow him!"

And, Alain flies instructions in a hurried voice.

Nevertheless, the raiders ran face-to-face, but the movement was somewhat dull. Because it's not a normal speed to run and catch up even if you try to chase it.

No one can strengthen their physical abilities, so instantly the distance opens with Christina and the others.

"Shit, Lucci!

"Whoa!"

Lucci responded to Alain's hanging and the two ran out. I didn't chant some spell, but the speed of the two is unusually fast.

Then, in just a few seconds or so, the distance to Christina and the others shrunk visibly.

Running at the rear of the line, Rio checks his back and slightly opens his eyes.

(That's fast. That's not the only speed you can get out of Physical Enhancement Magic.

As far as Rio could see, Alain and Lucci had drawn their physical abilities beyond the limits that the human flesh could withstand.

It is likely that some sort of magical means has been used to strengthen the strength of the flesh as well. Neither is there a zero chance that we are strengthening the strength of the flesh with spiritual art.

(I wanted to keep it a little further apart from the other raiders, but is this the limit around here?)

That was the decision, and Rio slowed down his running speed. When completely stopped, he looks back and pulls his sword out of the sheath hung on his hips.

(Isiah, ask for the teacher's escort)

(Okay)

Isiah responded instantly when Rio called in his readings. Stay spirited and go after Christina and the others.

As Christina and the others' backs narrowed as they drove off the streets, Alain and Lucci quickly reached Rio.

Alain and the others stop on the street, face to face with Rio.

"What can I do for you?

Rio inquired a little bit. Then, Lucci carves an invincible grin and opens his mouth.

"You, do you remember me?

"Oh, you're an unproductive barbarian who's been involved in a city in the middle of nowhere, aren't you?

"Hey..."

As Rio shrugged his shoulders and replied to the provocative altercation, Lucci looked grumpy.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Alain laughs oddly "haha".

"Don't laugh, Alain."

"Don't be a jerk. You look great, Lucci."

"Hmm."

Rucci snorted, staring at Giroli and Rio.

"So, after all, what can I do for you? Lead the loose and mercenary-crumbling bandits."

Rio asks again, looking ahead to the raiders who have caught up with him out of breath.

"Well, don't rush it. I need you and the princess of the Kingdom of Beltram who was with you."

He narrowed his eyes softly, Alain said.

"Whatever you need from me... I don't remember being with the Princess of the Kingdom of Beltram"

Rio tilted his neck and decided to pretend he didn't know. It is a brilliant poker face.

"Well, I don't think you can ask and honestly tell me from the end. Are you the escort of Princess Shizuku? The boulder is one of the most powerful countries in the Strahl region, and the royal family has excellent distribution, even when it's about to rot."

Alain looked impressed and stared at Rio in the hood.

Nothing. I'm not a princess escort.

Rio unwittingly laughs in his heart at Alain's reasoning, which is not far away.

"Leave the princess's story alone, it's just fine. I wanted to talk to you about Lucius."

When Rio uttered Lucius' name, Alain and the others had a blatantly alarmed look on their face.

"............... Alain, things are a little different from the silly plans, but there's no change in sharing. Let me do this. You go after the princess."

Pull out the sword Lucci put on his hips and give Alain instructions with a low, suppressed voice.

"Don't kill me. We need to hear more from him."

That's what Alain said, minimizing the preliminary motion and suddenly rushing out. Run around Rio at a tremendous speed.

Rio reacted instantly and tried to interrupt Alain's direction of progress. But Lucci dives into the gap between the two of them and stands in front of Rio.

Rio sighed lightly, stopping his leg.

"Wow. I told you. I'll let your opponent. Wait, here! Listen to me!

The moment Lucci talks, Rio runs out again with a gap in his moment.

But Lucci also seemed alarmed and not distracted, although he made a slight delay, he managed to chase him to Rio. Remove the hand throwing knife from your nose and throw it on Rio's back.

Rio jumped to the side as if he had eyes on his back.

"Ha, hey, you've got an ancient Demonic Prop Class (Enchanted Artifact Class) Demon Sword or Demonic Prop (Artifact), right? That speed can't be served by magic that's popular in modern times."

To Rio, who stopped again, Lucci says.

As he puts it, some ancient magic tools (enchanted artifacts) contain superior physical enhancement magic than physical enhancement magic (hyperphysical abilities).

Nevertheless, since Rio is physically fortified with spiritual arts, Lucci's guess is strictly wrong, but there is no difference in the phenomenon itself that is causing it.

"Unfortunately, my sword also contains equivalent sorcery. Same conditions. Don't let them get away with it."

Lucci smiled belligerently and spoke with a good face. Even while this is happening, the distance between Rio and Alain keeps opening.

(He talks a lot)

Rio took a small breath. And at the next moment, Rio's figure disappears from Lucci's view without a preliminary motion. Shortly afterwards, only a little wind remained on the spot.

"What!?

Lucci rushes to wander his gaze. Then I left him and found him looking like Rio trying to get around to before Alain.

"Alain!"

"Huh!?

Reacting to Lucci's screams, Alain takes a staggering evasive action at critical times.

I haven't finished talking to you yet.

As I said, Rio was slaughtered by Alain.

"Shit!"

Alain punches his tongue and pulls out his sword. As we retreat, we respond to the impending Rio. Countless sword flashes fly instantly, but Alain is on the defensive side. Obviously pushed by Rio.

"Gu."

Alain's body blew gently as he guarded with his arms the spinning kick of Rio, which was released as he was poked through a gap. I try to balance it out at the landing destination, but I get further chase from Rio.

"I won't let you!

There Lucci interrupted and hit Rio. Rio stops on his feet, steps backwards and takes a distance.

"Lucci, we're gonna do this together! This guy, he's like a captain! Just one of us is out of hand."

"Shit, wow!

When Alain gave the instructions, Lucci nodded in disapproval. Then the two begin to work together as soon as possible.

"Be careful, Alain. I don't know what the story is, but it's gonna accelerate without a spare motion."

"Then never stop moving, surround!

"Come on!

The arrains run around Rio and even move around while exchanging information.

(Individual strengths are high, as well as collaborative. When it comes to capturing without killing, it's a little cumbersome)

Meanwhile, Rio was calmly analyzing the strengths of the Alains.

I'm just saying I have an ancient magic prop (enchanted artifact) with top physical strengthening magic in the boulder, and the movement is so fast that I can't compare it to the knights there.

If you normally see it at combat speed, it won't have that color compared to Rio. Only if you compare at normal combat speed.

And so, like flirting with Rio, the arrains running around -

(I don't want to use a lot of spirituality in public, but can you say so in this situation?)

When Rio saw the raiders, who turned into half wild horses, he sighed slightly.

◇ ◇ ◇

While Rio is at war with the Alains.

Christina and the others were driving down the street. Though not fully ill, it keeps me breathless and I keep running even without stopping my legs.

"Ha, ha..."

If we keep going, we can cross the border and enter the Kingdom of Galark in a few moments. That is synonymous with getting out of the sphere of activity of the Royal Beltram Army. I couldn't help but be in a hurry.

Celia's complexion, though, is not very good. Far rear, Rio is alone in the fight against the bandits - and I think that brings up a tremendous sense of guilt and anxiety.

There's no question about Rio's strength, but I'm worried about what's worrying me, and I'm counting on everything, and I'm just sorry.

Then...

(Celia)

"Hin!?

Suddenly, a voice sounded very similar to Isiah's in his brain, and Celia made a barbaric voice. I tremble and shake my body as I run.

(Calm down. Me, Isiah)

Isiah's voice echoes in her brain again. Celia glanced around for a moment, but no sign of Isiah anywhere.

"So, are you okay? Mr. Celia?

Hota, who was running right beside him, breathes constantly and asks Celia what was going on.

"Yeah, yeah. It's okay. I'm sorry. Nothing. Let's run."

Celia grinned with the utmost grin and waved her veil.

(Calmed down? I'm talking directly into your head right now. because you can get a message from Celia to me, just think about it)

Isiah's voice echoes in her brain even once again.

(Oh, don't surprise me! I mean, what, this, what?

Celia shouted out loud in her heart.

(Temporarily connected Celia to the pass. Now what Celia consciously intended to convey is coming straight to me)

and explains Isiah in a pale tone.

Celia kind of distracted herself from going in.

(It's a very convenient ability again. Where are you now?

(Right next to Celia. Because the Spring Man asked me to escort Celia)

(Oh, I see. Because of you, Rio was able to detect a burglar attack beforehand)

(... that sort of thing)

It wasn't just a burglar who attacked me, but I can't explain the details, so Isiah agreed.

(... is Rio okay? In the end, I stayed)

(Yeah. It's okay)

(Oh well, good)

Celia strokes down her breasts in response to Isiah.

(Than that, this one might be more troublesome)

(... what do you mean?

(Unpleasant signs suddenly appeared near the direction of travel)

(Indications of disgust?

Celia asks in surprise at a sudden disturbing story.

(Similar to demons, but blacker and something different. Could be the same sign that showed up near Amand before)

(That's...)

(About the man who manipulated the demons to attack us while Spring Man was away)

(That's what happened. But how come at a time like this, in a place like this... Are you after us?

Celia looks rugged as she remembers what happened at the time.

(... I don't know. But if you keep going, you're in high danger of running into him. So I'm going to go ahead and do the exposures)

Isiah had some thoughts about Celia's doubts, but she decided to go off the record.

(... yes, okay. I just wanted to ask you one thing, there are no demons nearby, are there?

It would be troublesome if demons were attacked like the other day - Celia foresaw the danger first and decided to ask.

(Probably not. There are ups and downs in the terrain around here, so it's hard to find even in detected spiritual art, but there was no place where unspecified magic reactions solidified and gathered around a kilometer radius)

Isiah also seemed to have foreseen the danger there, using the spiritual art of detection beforehand.

(is, a kilometre radius...... That's all you need to know. Thanks. I'll put you in danger too...)

(Celia doesn't have to worry. Protecting you is also for the Spring... More than that, there are some magic reactions dotted, so don't be alarmed. When I leave this place, I won't be able to talk to Celia anymore)

(... ok. careful)

Celia squeezes her expression and gives her the head.

Without Rio and Isiah, Vanessa and I will be the only ones who can protect Christina.

I have pity for Kota, but they are nothing but normal boys. You shouldn't be guessing - think so.

(Well, I'm gonna go for a minute)

Isiah said so in an unchallenged voice, remaining spiritualized and ahead of Celia and the others in the direction of their progress.

It doesn't look like Celia, but she flies gently through the sky and quickly walks away.

(What's happening now? Rio, Isiah..., do you guys know anything?

And the celia left over wonders.

But the content of the thought was never passed on to Isiah.
