Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

When Silvi and the others flew out of the Inn in the Inn Town. Rio was walking down the street leading southeast, pulling Flora. Both sides of the street are surrounded by depressed (uh-huh) forests, quiet and quiet.

(Is it bad quality stripping? It was the southwest street that was blocked...)

Given the female knights he had just encountered, Rio took a rough look at the western woods that spread to his right in the direction of progress.

Normally, in small towns that exist in numerous places, as in accomodation towns, organized groups of soldiers cannot be satisfactorily permanently accommodated. So it is common for one soldier, given a certain discretion, to be seconded by a lord to work with locals and adventurers to maintain law and order.

Still, when it comes to cases that cannot be dealt with, the Leading Army and, in some cases, the National Army come forward, but it is not very calm when the Knights serving the Royal Castle are in charge of enough cases.

(Don't feel bad)

When Rio learns a nameless chest commotion that resembles discomfort, he now turns his gaze to Flora walking next door. I haven't kept much distance from the branches of the streets yet -

"There is no popularity (one person) around, so should we get moving as usual? If we keep going a little further down the street, we'll head southwest through the woods."

Rio suggested that to Flora when he looked back and made sure no one was there. As usual, that means Rio runs back and forth holding Flora.

I'm pretty sure the female knights have some kind of troublesome case. Now it would be more fortunate to just walk away than to have a flora to escort. Running with physical strengthening in the streets is not very preferable because it is evil noticeable, but now I have decided to follow my instincts.

…… Yes! "

Flora seemed a little strange because she had never run the streets dignified before, but she smiled and nodded without questioning Rio's remarks.

"Now, if you'll excuse me,"

That's what Rio said, approaching Flora, most importantly.

"Yes, please"

Flora, when you first agree with Nanny, you make her feel embarrassed and tense. He's not used to this moment being held back by Rio, no matter how many times he goes through it.

Rio, on the other hand, can hold Flora lightly with his accustomed hand. Flora grabbed Rio's clothes and nervously entrusted herself to Rio.

"Oh, it's not heavy, is it?

"Yeah, I'm fine."

I don't know how many times this interaction will be either. Rio laughs bitterly at Flora dyeing her cheeks. But...

"Ha, help me!

Suddenly, from the depths of the woods that spread on my right hand side, I heard a woman asking for help.

◇ ◇ ◇

Meanwhile, Sylvie and the others had left the inn and started tracking the Alains. I get reports from two female SS knights as they chase the backs of the Alains, who run a small distance forwards -

"I see. Did a man named Lucci go into the woods?"

Silvi makes a rugged face.

"There's no mistake in seeing a man like the stripper your men came into contact with as their dealer."

And Lotus, who looks at Silvi and says:

"... oh"

Silvi nodded, leaving for a few moments. The reason I needed time to respond...

(Isn't the situation a little too much?

Well, that's what I thought. The location of Estelle, who had never been allowed to grab a place at all, came here and was revealed. Plus, if you think you're about to be used as an exchange material for some kind of deal, you said you got away with it. In addition, unforeseen events also occurred for the Reyes and the others, leaving Silvi and the others unsupervised.

All the information I've come in to keep standing up is something I can't overlook, and I can only hope that exactly a thousand opportunities have come down. But it also seemed a little too convenient.

(Nevertheless, it is certain that we are in a situation where we have to move. I can't drag my current relationship any further. Even if I were to abandon Estelle, I would have to liquidate my relationship with Reis and the others)

Yes, if there's really a thousand opportunities coming, you'll never get another chance if you miss it now. As things stand, I was certain that I didn't have the time I was thinking or taking the back. Then...

"Silvi, I just want to make sure"

Lotus opens his mouth.

"What?"

And when Silvi asks back...

"Can I consider your sister's physical safety a top priority? Ideally we should protect them before they do, but perhaps the battle will be inevitable. What can I do about it?

Lotus inquired in a pale tone.

…………

Silvi doesn't answer right away, but comes up with a thought face. Then...

"Their combat capabilities are unknown. Honestly, I think you should kill him if you want to. Especially the man they called the captain of the regiment. It's doubtful we can win if we fight as hard as we can."

Lotus made recommendations in view of the killing. It sounds like a tough one, but I guess you're admonishing yourself because in the fight with Lucius you've been badly seen trying to secure your opponent's figure. Surely, if we only save Estelle, we are most certain that all our enemies will kill without making any other purpose.

"... I'd like to keep them alive if it's possible to do an investigation, but I can't tell you to capture them all alive, etc. There is no need to add or subtract poorly. Still, Rayce is the only one I want to keep alive."

Silvi answered looking badly troubled.

"Okay. So what are we gonna do about stripping the other guy? They told me he was after your sister."

Lotus went on to mention the existence of Rio, which could be considered the most uncertain element.

"... if you think you might be targeting Estelle in a situation, you have to assume that you are the enemy. As I said, ensuring Estelle's identity is a top priority."

Sylvie answers with perseverance, even as she seems troubled. I'd like to hear the circumstances, but that's since I was able to recapture Estelle, the hostage. We don't have time to long check the situation with the suspects, and we can't go around behind them, beyond the opaque relationship between the Rays and their counterparts. It was a situation where we had to sacrifice something if we were to take the initiative.

"Okay. You can see everyone but us as enemies. Then it's easy to talk about."

That's what Lotus says, and he carves a hooly belligerent grin into his mouth. But...

"However, if the others were securing Estelle's stature first, move on the assumption of an ambush. Then I want you to follow my instructions."

and Sylvie adds a caveat.

"Then we need to make sure we're in shape first."

Lotus took him seriously and told him resolutely. Then, there...

"They're speeding up!

And, Sylvie changes her complexion and screams. Alain and Venn, moving far ahead, accelerated just outside the gate. Keep going straight into the woods.

"What do we do, Sylvie?

Lotus asks with a pressing face.

"... after. Follow me on the range. They explained the situation to the street knights. Then join us in the search for Estelle."

When Silvi told him so, he grabbed the pattern of the Devil's Sword he had brought out of the Inn room to draw its power and ran out with physical strengthening. Lotus rushes out after him, too.

"" Physical Enhancement Magic (Hyperphysical Ability) ""

When both female knights magically strengthened their physical abilities, they rushed out to the SS at a branch of the street.

With their demonic swords and divine outfits, Silvi and Lotus accelerate and approach the woods into which Arraine and the others entered. And so, just around the corner of the boarding town...

"I think they're headed to the other side of the deal. Once in the woods, let me know if you've noticed anything trivial."

Silvi speaks to Lotus running next door as she runs.

"Okay."

Lotus nodded with a serious face. Then a fierce roar sounds from the streets of the southeast.

"Huh!?

Silvi and Lotus opened their eyes gleefully and looked in the direction where they heard the sound. Then, in a position not so far from the branches of the street, I can see the darkness swelling up as if I had pasted the night.

"............... there. Let's go!"

Silvi had been nailed to the sight for a few moments, but had assumed the worst, rushing out to the scene at first sight.

◇ ◇ ◇

Then, time goes back a little before Silvi and the others notice the strangeness of the streets, and the place moves back to the forest streets where Rio and the others are.

"Um, now there's a woman's voice from the woods...?

The screams of the woman heard from behind the woods seem to have reached Flora's ears as well. Flora looks at the forest on her right hand side in a slightly frightened manner.

"... Yeah, you heard me. Behind me."

Rio nodded and quickly brought Flora down to the ground. Turning back to the forest on your right, step forward to shelter Flora and let your gaze circle through the forest with vigilance.

"Somebody, help me! Please help!

The woman's voice for help was getting louder and louder. You can also hear retreats and stepping on grass and fallen leaves. Looks like we're getting closer to where Rio and the others are.

"Um, aren't you being attacked by stripping?

Flora asks the dreaded Rio. From what I had heard about the stripping from the female knights, I guess I immediately associated myself with it.

"Perhaps..."

Rio makes it include and partially affirms. I can't explain it in words, but I remember something. I was also concerned that the signs of the woman suddenly appeared. But the woman who asks for help is almost there. Somewhat...

"Ah!"

A mid-teenage girl jumped out of the woods into the streets. Age is as good as Rio and Flora. They are dressed in tailored clothes like those worn by aristocratic women.

"... Oh, hey, help me. Please help!

When the girl realized she was out of the woods, she looked frightened. And when you see Rio and the others standing nearby, you rush over with momentum that is also strawy. I was terribly frightened, and I could see that I was in a hurry.

(Noble, huh?

And, Rio blinks small. I don't know why there are aristocratic girls on this occasion. But what the female knights were deliberately putting out would be a twist on this girl.

(You bowled to another troublesome situation)

Rio wondered if he was also possessed by the plague god. Even now I was driven by the urge to hold Flora and walk away from this place, but would I be thin on boulders? Meanwhile -,

"Are you..."

Flora looked at the girl's face and was smiling.

The girl is staring back at Flora with a terribly frightened face, tilting her nappy and little neck. Flora is now wearing a hood and can't see her face well, and the hair she can peek from is changing color, so even if she's someone she knows, she won't be able to tell.

(Maybe we know each other, is it?

Rio came to think of the possibility. If so, I will devise an aggressive idea of how it should be handled.

"Oh, you know, me!

The girl took her gaze right off Flora and tried to hold onto Rio.

"Oh, please wait"

Rio holds the girl's body with both hands at her feet and causes her to trample. But the girl looks stuffed with cut feathers, distorting her neat face...

"Wow, me, they're going to kill me! He said he was drunk of some strange magical prop of the magic crystal type, and if he stays like this, he dies. But you might be able to help."

And, I ate bubbles and gave an unpredictable explanation.

(I'd help? Take this girl?

Rio floats a question mark in surprise, but for some reason the girl is desperate to move her hands and expose her chest by letting her own clothes rip open.

"Hey......"

Rio was puzzled by the girl's unintelligible and bold behavior and rushed to turn away from her chest.

"Ha, Master Hart"

Flora turns her face bright red and reflexively grips her back clothes from behind Rio. He pulled Rio's body backwards, claiming that he should not look at it as it was.

Nevertheless, Rio will not lose his posture with that degree of force. On the contrary, Rio changed his complexion as he realized something and suddenly, boldly held the girl's body in front of him.

"Shah!?

The girl screams small and nods her face at Rio's chest with her torso exposed.

"Ahhh."

and Flora roaring in all likelihood. But Rio looked to the western woods with a serious face, reaching for the sword he had put in his hips sheath. Immediately after...,

"Huh!?

Flora looks stunned and stiff. Because from the back of the woods on the west side, the black dark runoff overflowed. I wonder, the dark running swallows all the forest grass and pushes it to the Rio's like an avalanche. A little late, the shock sound, which should also be called a roar, sounded.

"Aah!"

And, Flora and the girl meditate their eyes and scream, but their voices are cancelled by the roar. But after a while, when they realized that nothing had happened to them, Flora and the others opened their fearful eyes. There is Rio, who is putting up his sword to expand the wind barrier and prevent the running of darkness that pushes him over.

(This attack is on that man's...)

Rio was looking at the impending dark runoff as he pushed back the attack with windproof walls. Because I recognized the darkness in front of me. Yes, Rio has fought very recently against the owner of a demonic sword that unleashes a very similar slash. The name of the bearer of the devil's sword is Lucius, the man that Rio killed.

(No way......, he was alive?

And such a question brings Rio's head. After all, the identity of those who are now attacking is -,

"Ha ha! This is amazing! This is the power of the captain!

Lucius' men, it was Lucci. Lucci continues to wave the sword once equipped by Lucius in his hands with a high laugh in the back of the woods, unleashing an ever-overflowing slaughter of darkness on the Rio's.

(Damn, don't I look like a boulder...)

Rio stares forward. But I can't recognize Lucci's appearance and voice, blocked by the running and roaring of darkness.

Then a few seconds later, the dark runoff rapidly dived into momentum, stopping Lucci's attack with fitness. Until earlier, the forest grass that had grown between Rio and Lucci had disappeared completely, and the ground, determined by the running of darkness, formed a single path, with sand and dust rising.

(disturbing)

When Rio activated the spiritual art of the wind by mediating the sword in his hand, he released the wind in all directions in a whirlpool and blew the dust out. Then, my vision clears up beautifully. Here finally, Rio saw what Lucci looked like. Nevertheless, now that Lucci wears a black robe and hides his face with a hood, he can't even tell who it is.

"Shit, you monster..."

Lucci muttered loudly, tongue-in-cheek as he saw Rio over the hood. Rio hasn't suffered one scratch. As Leis had told me beforehand, Lucci attacked with the intention of killing him. I wanted to reward at least one arrow for Lucius, but...

(I don't have a choice. retreat)

Rucci quickly began to turn back into the woods as he put his hood back on deep.

But Rio can instantly magic his sword. And flash. Looking for a look, he unleashed a magically sharp wind slaughter. But...

"Ha, can it hit an attack we know will come at this distance!

The distance between Rio and Lucci is quite open. If you were a person with a demonic sword with physical enhancement, you had enough avoidable time. Rio can unleash a special blow that combines power and speed at this distance in seconds, but unfortunately we can't afford it. In addition -,

(What do we do, chase? No......)

The presence of Flora behind him only slightly blunted Rio's decision. Besides, there...

"Shit......, so, are you okay!?

and Flora screams from behind. The girl who asked for help earlier suddenly collapsed. Flora is trying to hold that body back in a hurry.

"............... let me see"

Rio cruised hard, but inevitably abandoned his pursuit, looking back behind him. You can't leave Flora on this spot worse than you can't read the situation.

"Oh, please. Ah!"

Flora snorted. But when she realizes that the girl's chest is still full, she tries to fix the mundane and clothing mess. But...

"Please Wait"

Rio quickly bowed down and grabbed Flora's arm, stopping the move.

"Hin!

Flora trembles with fright. Rio took such Flora to the margin and stared seriously at the girl's chest. But it's not that I feel uncomfortable. There's...

"This is..."

It was engraved with a small writing procedure, about the size of the child's palm.

"... ah!

Flora also seems to have noticed the existence of some sort of surgical ceremony to calm her down.

(Is that a curse? Dead... is not here. I have a pulse. breathing too)

Rio pales and checks the girl's condition. For now, when I make sure I'm alive, I breathe relief -,

(Was it the man who did this earlier? That sword was the same sword Lucius used......)

Rio thinks about the man he's been attacking earlier and clouds his face. And -,

(That man must have definitely killed him. Why do you have that sword? You think that guy's alive? Then I'm the one who's after you...?

And when Rio is analyzing the situation -,

"Oh, you know, Master Hart. This one...?

Flora speaks to Rio in fear.

"... rest assured. He's not dead."

When Rio breathed small, he shook his wear quietly.

"Good... Oh, but the..."

Flora breathes ho relief. But you thought it was not good to keep the girl's chest open forever, blushing her cheeks in embarrassment and trying to tell Rio well.

"... Master Flora is this one, eh!?

Rio tried to say something to Flora, but suddenly, he twisted his body. And turn again to the western forest. Immediately after, countless magic bullets hit Rio.

What is it?

When Rio wraps the wind around the sword in his hand and wipes out the magic bullet, he sees the direction in which the attack has flown. Then Elena, a female knight, was rushing over quickly from the forest aisle, which was made of choosing the ground...

"Get away from Master Estelle, you bastard!

Elena waved her sword at the beating procedure and was attacked by Rio. The eyes capture Estelle's body with a firm chest. Did I even mistake Rio for a thug?

(It's a real pain in the ass)

When Rio sighs and is precisely attacked with his own sword, he sets up a foot payment at the counter to Elena, who was furiously obsessed with approaching him.

"Huh!?

Elena was lightly out of balance. Reflexively stick your sword to the ground and adjust your posture, but it's no different that you've created a deadly gap.

"Please calm down a little"

That's what Rio said, raising his sword to Elena's neck.

"Knock..."

Elena looks remorseful. Though he lacked calm because of his anger, he never thought he would respond so brilliantly to an accidental ambush. Even the brief interactions that we have right now give us a good peek at what Rio is used to fighting for.

(Damn, Dear Estelle, what a delight...!

Elena seeped a strong sense of vigilance against Rio, even though she was strongly angry. Rio tries to persuade Elena like that first, but opens her mouth to a sigh mix with her sword attached to her neck muscle -

"A little situation, eh!

Now a sharp flash of light flew from the side. Rio moves his sword to the minimum necessary and precisely with his sword. But I thought...

"Ha!

Lotus appears abruptly, lavishly waving the spear axe (Halvard) -shaped divine costume 'Coquitos' in his hand. When Rio is aggressively attacked by Lotus with his sword...

(Next to Next)

Step forward and wipe out the power of Lotus' attack. Though heavily blown away, he fluttered and landed on the ground.

"... what?

Looks like Lotus was going to decide without question with his current blow, or Rio for responding brilliantly. At the same time, be vigilant. When I glanced at Estelle properly, the appearance of her chest exposed entered my sight and glanced at her grandiose face. And then...

"Range!"

A little late, Sylvie shows up too. Witnessing Estelle falling asleep fainting seeped a strong hostility towards Rio. But...

(... Renji? Japanese?)

And, Rio has been struck by surprise when he sees the appearance of Lotus in Rio.

Flora, on the other hand, was turning her gaze to the right and left because she couldn't keep up with a situation that was changing dramatically. Nevertheless, do you understand that you can be a foot wrapper, and you make a big deal out of it without drawing attention poorly?

"Ha!"

Lotus glanced at Rio and luxuriously scolded Coquitos from far out of the midst. Then, a cold air filled with frightening magic ejects extensively at Rio's feet. I guess the aim is to detain Rio.

(That's a rough catch for a long time. You get severe frostbite if you're bad, huh?

Rio faced the attack of Lotus as if he could not feel forgiveness. Nevertheless, there is no reason to be held captive by adults. When Rio jumped to the side, he quickly evacuated outside the effective range of the attack. The cold air released by Lotus instantly freezes the ground.

(I have no choice)

When Rio saw Flora behind Lotus and Elena, he gave up resolving the matter peacefully.

If Lucius is involved in this raid, there is a risk that these people are connected to Lucius, and that Flora will be targeted. Either way, you'd better think you're being set up some kind of trap.

It is now necessary to ensure Flora's safety with the utmost priority, beyond the fact that the situation is completely unreadable. To do this, I am not in a good position to stand now that I am separated from Flora by Lotus.

It's not until we at least secure Flora's identity that we try to resolve it through discussion. When Rio so decided, he worked out a tremendous amount of magic in his body and put up his sword with powerful physical enhancements.

"Yummy. Elena, that was on the spot. Estelle!

When Silvi confirms Rio's willingness to engage, he orders Elena to start acting to help Lotus. In a moment, Silvi once again saw Rio's appearance and had a strange sense of pre-sight, but it quickly spreads to the imminent situation. Thus a two-to-one situation was formed, and the lid of battle was cut off.

And, on the other hand, in the back of the woods -,

(Besides my thoughts, things have changed smoothly. Hey. Up to this point, it wasn't even my turn, and just this time, I think I can put my full confidence in his strength)

I was observing Rayce develop as he thought he would, and he was giggling. Around it, three people, Lucci, Alain and Ven, refrained -

"Well, here's where we come in, all three of us"

And Reyce called out in a good mood.
