The face has an incredible look.
Well, anyone might think so if they saw this tragedy. All those demons turned into carcasses, me standing intact in them with blood back.
I knew Reese was coming back in the middle of the fight. I thought it might be because it seemed like a leash with a strong sense of responsibility, but it was an indication.
"............... You're lying. Take this alone...?
I don't give a shit about Leese stuck the buster sword to the ground and stuffed the demon I defeated into dimensional storage (storage).
Nearly a hundred bodies of demons and minutes later nothing was left but stained blood on the ground.
"Oh, no... I can't believe it..."
You seem surprised not only by the combat, but also by my dimensional storage (storage) capacity.
"I wonder if it's like this"
Finish packing the demon into dimensional storage (storage) and send the gaze to Reese.
"Oh, what the hell are you - who?
Staring at me with hindsight and anxiety.
"Hmm, do you mean the strength of A-rank adventurers...?
"Oh, that's not the level. I've seen A-rank before, but not so strong..."
I know I'm stronger than any other A-rank if I'm strong or level. Because... I'm changing careers.
If you can't win - maybe as brave as you are. That's unknown, too.
A brave man summoned from another world just like me. I think he said he was also fighting demons when he was summoned, and he would be summoned to this world, and there would be status corrections as a brave man. So much so that the Knights Commander, Al's father, who by far was said to have the best strength in the Lunette Empire, was also debated by the brave.
I'm sure you're getting more levels with the benefits.
I may need to get my level up too by the time I confront you one day.
When I was thinking about it, I was lightly slapped on the shoulder.
"More than that... I'll be back, won't I?
From where I sent my gaze, the grass would shake, and there or the demon would show his face.
"Ugh, lie...... Oh no..."
The look on Reese's face stains with despair. He seems to have lost his hips due to so much fear that he leans back as he sits down.
It was a ground dragon about seven meters long, with a dragon face on a crocodile-like body that showed its face.
Seems attracted to the intense smell of blood from the orcs, but the remains of the key demons have already been subjected to my dimensional storage (storage).
The Earth Dragon's gaze was pointed at me.
It is superior to Oak General and is classified as an A-ranked demon. It's no match for a bunch of B-ranked adventurers.
Seven more new bodies appear. With all these demons, one city would easily be ravaged.
It's only gonna be good experience money for me though.
"We need to get out of here..."
I try to get up, but Reese, who is losing her hips because of fear, can't get up well.
"You can wait there. 'Cause I'll be done in a minute."
I tell Reese that, pull out the stung buster sword on the ground and turn back to Earth Dragon with my shoulder on.
"Be a good experience. My... for a change of career."
Reinforce your body (boost) and run all the way to the side of the earth dragon, shaking off your sword with momentum around your neck.
I just repeated all that work eight times.
Less than a few minutes later, eight dead Earth Dragons without necks were created.
Immediately enter dimensional storage (storage) and exhale.
"Okay, I guess that's it for today. The smell of blood could bring demons, so we're gonna move a little bit."
The buster sword also acts on dimensional storage (storage) and gets it up with Reese's hand.
But you don't have the strength in your lower body, you're falling straight into me.
"... sorry, I can't walk out of my hips, maybe..."
Put a smile on Reese, who looks sorry. If I saw a fight like this, I wouldn't have a choice. I remember seeing the first battle of mine and the Shalls and Al had an incredible look on their faces, too.
"Okay. I'm gonna lift you up a little bit."
Place your left hand on the back of your knee, place your opposite hand inside your side, and lift it straight up. - It's a princess hug.
While exploring (searching) to ascertain the location of the demon, it is decided to slowly return to the original path.
Reese turns her hand around my neck, but her face is all the way down. I can't see the complexion but it was red to my ears.
I still have a distance to the forest entrance, so I'll make a suggestion to Liese to take a break once. The reason I suggested we take a break was because Reese's stomach rang.
Bring down the shy, reddish-faced, nodding leash once and remove the table and chair from dimensional storage (storage).
Other breads and soups bought at the market are removed from the torso and placed in a bowl and arranged on the table.
"We're ready. Let's eat."
I decide to sit down and eat opposite Reese.
I was surprised by the type of food that was lined up, but I flattened the momentum well to see if I couldn't beat hunger.
Finishing the meal and offering a cup made of tea also loosened Reese's expression.
"I can't believe you could taste a meal like this during your request... and the tea is so delicious. Than at home......"
It's just a fancy tea leaf I picked up in Teito. I also ask Reese a question after a sigh of relief over a cup of tea.
"Can I ask you something? Is that demon coming out every time?
Honestly, if A-rank ground dragons, B-rank oak generals, etc. overflow, it's no surprise when this Arkland city collapses.
"That's not true...... All I've heard so far is strong but about oak. It's just demons below D-rank. I don't remember ever coming out of a demon like that."
Dungeon demons are said to be proportionate to the boss's rank to defend that core. No demon can appear stronger than the Dungeon Boss.
That means it is assumed that demons of at least A-rank are protecting the core.
Maybe even the S-rank demon on it is protecting it. There's no way you can protect yourself in a single city, such as a disaster-class demon.
Besides, I have some concerns about the location of the dungeon I saw on the map.
"This needs to go back to the guild and talk to you. You may also need to ask Empire for backup."
"Yeah...... right. I don't think there's any way to protect the city."
Drink up all the remaining tea in the cup at once and take a seat.
"Shall we go back? Everyone will be worried."
"Right.... I honestly think they've given up on us though. You wouldn't expect me to come back safely surrounded by all those demons."
Serving tables and chairs, the two of us slowly walk out toward the forest entrance.
We went through the woods in about an hour, but the Gards never waited. Must have gone back to the city to report to the guild.
We walk into the city chatting too.
"And why is Towya so strong? You're a healing magician, right? Didn't you go into some party and get up to A-rank?
A question is thrown from Reese walking next door. Ordinary healing magicians (Priests) act as guards at parties, and it is normal to give support and healing magic to members. They have the image that it's best to protect yourself with a little weapon.
"No, I guess I've been alone ever since I registered as an adventurer. I've worked with other parties at the escort, but I've been doing it all alone when it comes to crusading"
I was actually working with Shall, Al, Natalie, but there's no way I could say that I was with the Empress, the Kingsguard Knight, let alone the Dusk Sage, etc.
".................. Impossible...... But that's why you're so strong..."
Reese's question, which leaned down to contemplate, was to end because he could see the city entrance.
Show the guild card and dive through the gate and head straight to the guild.
When the two of us opened the door of the guild and went inside, the hall, full of noise, quieted at once.
All eyes gather on both of us.
"- What happened...?
"I don't know either."
At that moment when I tilted my neck without knowing what it meant, the joyful voice of the adventurers sprang up.
"" "" "Uh-oh!" ""
"You two came home! We're both safe!
"These guys, they're incredible. He came home unharmed from a bunch of demons!
"I'm so glad. If you think Leese is going to be gone..."
"The city idol is back. - Whoa!
Maia, who was in the middle of reception work, also threw the paperwork and jumped out of the counter and suddenly hugged me.
"T, towya. Wow! Good. I'm really glad you're back!
I laugh unwittingly at Maia as she buries her face in her chest. A cold gaze is thrown from Liese, who was next door.
"Huh. Really?
"No... because you're not, are you? Hey, Maia. Can I see the Alliance Master?
I let go of the face I was burying in my chest and nodded heavily at the top.
"Yes, of course. You should be discussing this with Mr. Reese's party members right now. I'll show you."
Maia and I will take you to the reception room.
Despite being in the hallway, anger was echoing from the reception room.
Maia knocked and when she opened the door, Gardo was coming to Brightle.
"So we can't do that forest alone anymore! Reese and Toya got away with it at the expense of each other. I need to call the army. I can't do anything! Hang me from the Alliance Master to the Lords!
"That being said... I'm sure in my current lord... is that Maia? What's wrong... ⁉"
Brightle opened his eyes wide when he saw us in sight after Maia.
That's the same with the Gards, with an incredible look on their face.
"Are you still safe? Gardo and the others told me."
"Reese! You were safe!
Myra held onto Reese with momentum. I caressed Myra's head slowly and gently crying.
"Thanks to Towya, I was safe. Thanks for listening, Myra..."
"Because I believed he was coming back..."
Reese took a tight seat with her expression after hugging Myra hard. I'll take an empty seat, too.
"Lord Towya, what's going on in the woods?
Brightle would also be most concerned.
"Honestly, the forest is so full of demons that it's not weird when there's another flood."
"Is it possible to deal with this city's adventurers and guards?
Clearly, I can't. I hear the Reese and the others are the best adventurers in the city, but they still lack strength. Ground dragons just come out and lead to collapse at once.
I slowly shook my head to the side.
"Oak herds, the oak generals that were leading it. It was the Earth Dragon that came out after that...... Honestly, you won't be able to."
"" "...... ⁉" "
"No way, even such demons..."
The Gards also bluish their faces, and Brightle ties their mouths together hard.
"I was wondering if I needed to contact the Alliance headquarters in Imperial City early and request an army dispatch from the Lords of this city to Imperial City"
I think this is the right answer. I can't protect this city until I get that far. There are only a few things I can do on my own.
Brightle nodded loudly, too, when he decided to be ready.
"Okay. Let's get a quick horse out to the Imperial City right away. I'll see my lord soon enough."
I wish I could go as a nobleman, but I can't hide my identity so far and reveal myself now. Nor is it vulgar to shield an aristocrat's identity if he is a lord with too little discernment.
"I hear the lord here has been replaced, what do you think?
"... because you're still a young lord. I don't know how to fall. Just... no, take a rest today. I'll see you in the afternoon. But it'll help if you show your face."
So Brightle shut his mouth.
We left the reception room behind and surrounded the table in a tavern that was also housed in the hall.
I just wanted to celebrate my safety and toast, but the information you gave me makes Gardo's expression dark. Because if you are a concurrent adventurer, you can only be desperate, such as the name of Earth Dragon.
Ask for ale and gently align the jocks.
"... Towya, is Earth Dragon true...?
Gard, who dampened his mouth, has asked questions. Everyone's gazing at me.
"Oh, this time, eight came out. Maybe if we get closer to the dungeon, we'll be more..."
"If that comes to the city..."
"If you stay the way you are, don't destroy the city. Ensure…"
We talked a little bit about what was to come, then it was dissolved, but I was concerned about Reese, who had been silent all along.
Return to the Inn and roll to bed to think about the future. Honestly, there's nothing I can do about it with my current strength. I know we can handle this with Shall, Al and Natalie, but it won't be possible for everyone to leave the Imperial City and come to this city.
Gradually drowsiness strikes me by the comfortable softness of the bed. Another meeting at the guild tomorrow, I fell asleep thinking.
