Breathe and stand behind the master.When you grind your nerves and prepare yourself to cope with whatever happens, you feel as if you have become a fine first-class hunter.
It's been a long time since I escorted Master.
Masters with many enemies generally escorted when they went outside.I use it occasionally even when I am not out.Perhaps it is more about exchanges and ability checks than escorts.Sometimes Tino was chosen from a much more immature age, and I didn't need an escort to level 8 in the first place.
Normally, the [Ghost of Mourning] would be in charge of the escort.The sisters are always busy, but somehow someone is often free, so there are not many white-winged arrows standing on Tino other than during [Ghost of Mourning] 's visit to Hunt.
Today, Tino is the only one who has free time.
A good amount of tension and exhilaration filled Tino's entire body.I've adjusted it so that I can give it my full attention at any time of the day, but today's conditions are excellent.
It's not like it's been a long time since I've seen you face-to-face, but it's probably been a long time since we've been alone.That's the best feeling I've ever had.
There are challenges to guard duty, and there are not challenges to guard duty.There are many patterns of the former when a strange incident is happening, but the master said so.This time, it must be the latter.
It's still a little noisy, but the funny commotion that's been going on lately seems to have settled somewhat, and Master says he's not going out for a while.Involved in a terrible treasure chest (it seems that the master named it "Mikkun"), it was a bit modest, but it also achieved the quota of trials.The Imperial City was basically safe in the first place, and I didn't think anything more would happen.
I mean, it 's--it's kind of like a date.I'm not going out, but it's like a date.
I don't know why you need an escort when you're not going out, but it's a date.It must be a date at home.The ring that I got was also delivered, and I feel that my luck is right.
The lounge, which had been partially destroyed by the raid, was finally being cleared by the merchants.
The cracks that were already on the floor and there had disappeared, and if we replaced the table with a new one that had fallen apart by replacing the glass afterwards, everything would be back to normal.
A corner of such a lounge. Fortunately, the master was facing the [carpet] at a table that had been spared from destruction.
Beside him, Tino placed [Mikkun], perhaps the most terrifying treasure he had ever seen, with a very serious expression on his face.
The carpet is not just a carpet.It is one of the most famous rugs in the world.According to what Lucia told me, the Emperor received as a reward for escorting the Emperor, but she didn't let me ride on the [flying carpet].
The rug was called by my husband, and he was at ease.Put your legs together and hold a coffee cup that you don't even drink (?) Instead, I'm looking at the master. (?)
It was like an adult thing.If it hadn't been for the treasure - and if the role Tino had been given wasn't to stand back and escort, I'd have folded.
The master is used to starting things without a surprise, but what are you going to do this time?
Tino was warm, and after a long time I thought we could go talk together slowly, or even eat something sweet...
Kills breath and watches the situation as if it were a loyal knight.The master winked his hands for a few seconds, but eventually opened his eyes and stared quietly at the carpet and said.
"I think you can do better than that."In the first place, the flying carpet [Flying Carpet] is quite famous among treasures, and its usefulness is no less than that of a space-time bag (Magig Bag).Moreover, you have the necessary elements at a high level, such as spaciousness, payload, travel speed, and required magic power, as well as a flying carpet.It's definitely one of the greatest treasures I have.This is something to be proud of. "
…………
"Believe in your own strength, Ka-kun.I don't know what happened to you in the past, but don't live with other carpets like this.You're not the man to end it!This is my friend's advice.Fly, put people on board!I'm sure you'll be able to fly faster than anyone else! ”
I'm preaching to the carpet...
At the Master's word, the carpet is tongue and index finger (?) I tapped the table.
Obviously, he didn't have ears to hear.Well, the first question was where the ears were, but the master really had a lot of treasures.The common sense of Tino's treasures was almost over.
In the first place, why does Master stick to the flying carpet so much?Flying carpets are particularly famous and expensive to trade because traders and others are looking for them.
If the hunter wants to fly, he just has to fly himself.It was impossible for Tino, but flying would be easier if he reached level 8, and Lucia's sister would be able to get him on board.
The master said with even more enthusiasm as he watched the unusual sermon on the carpet as he moved his body.
"If you're not confident, I'll accompany you to the hands-on training."Let's do a little bit more. "
Where is the hand of the carpet... if you want to be so kind to the carpet, please be nice to me!
When it was swallowed in the box, he didn't praise me for getting the ring.It was just a little bit, but I wanted to be a treasure when I was reborn.I want you to tell me the colors of Tino's footsteps.
There was no change in the reaction of the carpet to the poorly performing master.
Tino would have been happy to shake his tail if he had been kind enough to say goodbye to the master--no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.You might think there's something behind it.I mean, I've been given special training like that all the time...
"Look at Mikun. It's a rare form of excellence as a space-time bag!Rather, it's a level that doesn't need so many functions.But, if you do it, I'm sure this much-- "
With a desperate expression, I reached out my hand, and the carpet slammed down.The master's expression changed after being treated too badly.
...... Ahhh... why do you look so happy!?
But that's it. Tino is an escort, but he can't keep his eyes on the carpet any longer.I don't even know when people will come into the lounge.
In the first place, Tino is outside the mosquito net, even though we're all alone.Why do you have to be interrupted on a date by inorganics, even though it's a treasure?
I made a sharp expression and hit my hand quickly to attract the attention of the master.
"I'll leave it to me."Lucia, I'll definitely make you obedient with your training skills! "
"Um... you don't have to do that."If you do it, you can do it.
"I can't!" I can't show everyone! "
Language such as attaching to the kindness of the master.Even the carpet needs to be smashed into the Thousand Trials.And take your place!Even Tino can do it.
Even Tino, who has received various requests, has never caught a carpet before.Take a stance and get closer to the carpet.
The carpet is on Tino's shoulder with a serious expression (?), fluttered up and passed over Tino, turning behind the master and sticking to his back.
Breathe inadvertently. It was too vivid a movement.
As expected, Tino was not the only one to pass through the master's rug.
"... what a bold--no, using you as a shield is such a vile thing... please resist a little bit!"
"...... wait? If you can't get on it, why don't you make it a cape?"
The master tied his hand in front of the carpet and made it look like a cloak while saying something strange.
No, Master is useless at a time like this.
Take a deep breath, switch it on, and accelerate your heartbeat a little.Your heart is trembling with horror, and your whole body is getting hot.
It's not comparable to your sister's, but it's the [Super Shadow] I've been practicing recently.
The five senses are sharpened, and the pain rushes to the back of your brain.My whole body muscles were rolling in search of my strength.I didn't think it would be revealed in this way, but I can't choose the means.
I won't let you get away with it. What will you do to catch this stubborn carpet?
"If you don't listen to me, I'll squeeze the rags."
"Ti, Tino!? Calm down!"
The master calls out his name in a hurry, but that's how the carpet gets on.This kind of discrimination, even though you should be honored as you always do to Tino.
Give the carpet a try, or spoil me like a carpet, whichever you like!
It was useless to use Master as a shield, with different levels of training.Tino's enemies are not the ones polished in hellish trials, such as the carpet of spoiled liquor pond meatwood.I'll peel it off in an instant and carve out the relationship between the top and bottom.
Focus on raising your hands on the carpet."It's a different physical structure from humans, but you can predict behavior if you see the origin of the movement..."
Today's condition is excellent.Successful carpet training will also raise Tino's reputation.I'm sure they'll reward me this time.
Breathe thinly. Tino is pushing you against the carpet hand (?) The skin moves twitchingly. I tried to jump out to match it, but suddenly there was a noise coming from the entrance.
In a flash, he remembers his part of the escort and turns his attention to you.It was almost at the same time that the [sole] that came in collapsed on the floor.
Sole was wearing armor.Nor does it emphasize the ease of being worn by hunters. It is also a symbol of authority and the armor of some graceful knights.I guess it's because this is the whole town without the armor.
It was a man. Tino's eyes clearly recognized the face of a man who was on the verge of collapse amidst a sense of acceleration in a false shadow.
The Master's eyes widened as he trembled at the noise.
"It's me...... Who?"
"...... It's Hugh, I see!" It's Hugh Legrand from the Knights of Zero!I was saying such things as trying to become a disciple of Kuta! "
"Ah...... ah......"
It's a comeback. Are you serious or are you kidding me... I'm sure it's a joke.I'm sure Tino remembers it.
I remembered that I was stunned by onee-sama and transported, and that I suddenly applied to become a master's apprentice, because it had an impact.
Although he was a man reminiscent of Ark somewhere, he must be a member of the regular knights known for their elite.What the hell happened?
The master sits on the chair and takes a deep breath and mutters.
"... are you dead?"
"... I'm alive, I see."Your heart is moving... so it looks like it's twitching... "
It was time to carefully approach Hugh, who was lying down.
When I first saw it, the armor that had been firmly polished was blackened with soot, and there were countless wounds.There seems to be no noticeable injury, but the hair is blurred and the whole body smells abnormal.This smells like-- like a dove.
Tap the hoof with the tip of your shoe.But Hugh didn't seem to get up just by moaning.
"Ahhh... what should I do?"I don't think I'll die if I leave it alone.
”Hmm............ Well then, shall we leave it alone?”
The master glanced at the carpet clinging to his back and said.
...... after all, isn't there too much difference between carpet and human treatment?
The elite of the Knights Zero was an aristocratic class of nine out of ten.Isn't it a problem to leave it like this?
When he was lost, Hugh suddenly fell to his knees and moved.
You may have regained consciousness, but you don't have the strength to stand up, but you move your body in a slow motion and lie on your back suddenly.
Just looking at my face revealed that I was encountering something unusual.
When I first saw it, I had a refreshing impression on my face, but I didn't see any shadows.When I first came, my sister made me unconscious, but I couldn't compare with her.
A dark neighborhood with cracked cheeks and clutching under the eyes.My chin is beardless and my skin is dry.It was as if she had been in distress for days, but her eyes glittered as she peered through her slightly open eyelids.
Hugh smiled slightly relieved when he saw Tino's face, lifting his arms to squeeze the last of his strength, and offering him what he was holding.
"Please... do this... to the Master......"
It was just a reflection.The job of the bandits is to keep the party out of danger, including spotting enemies and spotting traps.Look, it's too late to move after understanding.
I took a step back, and after a few seconds, I noticed that I pulled.It reminds me that my breathing became stuffy and I forgot to breathe.
The Danger Sensing abilities developed in Hunt so far have called Tino to vigilance.
Amano Mikun was a treasure to be feared, but there was no sign of it.But perhaps this is a threat that even untrained ordinary citizens can perceive at a glance.
Hugh offered me a small wooden box.It's a box with a beautiful design, but it's not a treasure.
However, the aura that emerges from it is not unusual.
Chills that invade the organs. A negative sign far stronger than any phantom I've ever encountered.There is a fierce alarm ringing in the brain like never before.It was strange why Hugh hadn't noticed this before he offered it.
I don't know what's inside, but there's only one thing I know.
This is... out of the hands of men.
No, no, no, no, no.
Hugh would have clearly understood the horror of this box.If you were an adult, you would be neglected to touch it, and you wouldn't even think about getting close.
It seemed like a miracle that I could get here with the box.It should cut your mind off just by touching it with so much vigor.Even without physical pain, the mind affects the body.
The arm with the box wobbles.Hugh says in a faint voice.
"I did it, I did it. Tell...... Jiu, Jiu......"
"You did... something? Tell me... what!? Ju?I have something to tell you!? "
There were many things I wanted to ask.Where did you find this?What the hell is this?Why did you bring it here?This is obviously a matter that should be strictly sealed in the Light Spirit Church.
But I didn't have time for that.Hugh is at his limit, and once he's conscious, he won't be back for a while.I need a few more tips.
At last, your strength is gone, and the arm that was lifting the box falls to the floor.The box in his hand slid across the floor, hitting the wall and stopping.The light fades from Hugh's eyes.
And Hugh said the last word with a flurry of eyes.
”Ju... boo... boo... noo...”
Perhaps the thread of consciousness was broken, and Hugh's body was relieved of its strength.
I forcibly moved my body and looked toward the master.Did you perceive this threat even with the treasure?) While paying attention to Ka-kun frequently, the master said in a voice without nervousness as usual.
"Eh... I don't need it"
Oh, I see. I get it.A thousand trials weren't over yet, were they?
...... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, IAbsolutely not!... Oh? Isn't that the ring?!
Until now, the Master had given the clan members various challenges, but even though there were serious injuries, there were barely any dead people - really, barely.It was a miracle accomplished with the master's exceptional eyes and divine arithmetic.
But the box I just saw is different.It's going to die. I don't know what's in it, but I don't know if it's a Tino fortified with Mana Materials.The ratings are too different. Did you learn about Tino's growth and increase the difficulty of the challenge?
If I could, I would ask the Light Spirit Church to take me back with the box closed - what would happen in the Light Spirit Church?
Fear and confusion, and the guilt of the ring you found is causing your body to be unable to move.
Run. It's out of the Hunter's hands.Ta-da, run, contact the Light Spirit Church - here I am!
My mouth and tongue do not move.I managed to move my face only slightly, believing that it would be transmitted and complaining only with my eyes.
The master nodded, passing in front of Tino, who was frozen, and grabbed the box near the wall. He didn't even notice the vengeance, but opened the lid as if it was a nightmare.
