The surroundings were surrounded by deep darkness.

In the darkness of the night when there was no starlight, he walked quickly without even using lighting magic (Akaria).

"Hah, hah..."

Almost there, good luck.

"Yes....."

Escaping the poisonous caterpillar attack, Cherinor and I headed west into the darkness. Withdrawing the tired girl's hand, she continued to walk in the dark.

You should be able to rest in the abandoned village, but you could not have escaped the raid. Fatigue peaked, but it wasn't a good idea to keep fighting unknown creatures.

- Shit. Oh, my God.

I inadvertently lie badly in my heart.

What the hell did I do?

For the world, for people, for families. You've been working clean and correctly.

If there is a God, are you going to give it a try? You're doing something completely superfluous.

But if you think about it, I can't say that a little alarm and a gap in my heart caused this calamity...

Guglecus-sama... can you see in the dark?

"Ah, ah, because I'm a wizard."

Even if it was darkness due to the Spotting Barrier (Circle), I had no trouble with my feet. However, for a girl who was ravaged half a day ago, traveling in the dark is hard and anxious.

"That's amazing... it hurts...!"

"Are you all right!?"

"Mr. Gugrecas, my legs..."

You screwed up, huh?

I can't see well in the dark, but there is blood from the fingertips of my sandals. Were you there?

"Ugh..."

"It's okay, I can do the cure."

I said it in a way that only worries me, but in the meantime, I used mucus magic (Sloudu) to disinfect and stop the bleeding. Tie your toes with a handkerchief, and then carry it on your back.

Here, I'll carry it on my back.

"But..."

Even if you look like this, you're a magical Macho-san.

I was getting tired of the rocks too, but I was able to use my magic to strengthen my muscles. Forced circulation of blood in the muscles is achieved by using the magic interior (Magino Intex) for battle. Strengthens muscles and reduces fatigue.

"... please leave me here"

"Next time I say something like that, I'll close my mouth with magic." Here we go. "

"Guglecus......"

Celinor clung to his back. Feeling the heat and weight of the girl's body, she moves on again in the darkness.

"Be quiet, they might come after you."

Yes.

Fortunately, the monsters weren't coming after us anymore.

The green poison potatoes are now in the middle of a fun dinner party with my counterpart. Without even knowing it was spy magic.

But...

That thing is a monster.

If we have advanced intelligence and share consciousness and thoughts, it becomes a threat to humanity. In fact, the nations of this world were forced to struggle.

An unknown invader from the Star World.

It wasn't a match. The Demon King's army (...) that he once fought was indeed strong. The superior monsters, organized and with some wisdom, led the other monsters into an army.

Even if it was a ferocious monster, I could deal with it alone. But once organized, it will quickly become a troublesome enemy.

That's exactly what the Green Poisonous Worm Corps we just encountered.

Consider that all individuals share awareness and wisdom, that is, experience and information. It's moving as a giant swarm... and it's a mess.

Currently, there is little information obtained, but the "reverse osmosis (virus) autonomous driving technique (appt)" that is hidden in their bodies is running.

When the time comes, they'll send the data to me. "I hope you find some way to attack..."

Is that monster still out there?

I don't have any information to tell if it really came from the stars. If it was Homunculus, who had been suppressed by a mad magician, it would still be cute.

... I wonder if Pram and Hemperosa are worried too.

Unexpectedly, he looked up to heaven, but the dark clouds covered the night sky, which was invisible to the stars.

Escaping in the dark was a tough development.

I was definitely starting to get bored in my peaceful days.

I remembered the battle with the Demon King and the adventures with my allies. A series of battles against unknown enemies. And a painful but exciting day of adventure. It's like you're back then.

"The difference is that I don't have any friends..."

No, no, it's not when you're sentimental.

"Hmm? Is that... a city?"

That's the Royal Capital, Remble Rogue.

I finally saw the silhouette of the city beyond the hill. You can see the buildings lining up as a pale shadow beyond the dark night. It looks like a citadel city. And I see lights all over the city. Among them, the front is brightly lit.

"The lights are on...!"

"Thank goodness, there are people!"

I'm relieved. I've got Cherinor on my back and I'm in a hurry.

However, as I approached, the tragedy around me became clear. The corpses of destroyed homes and soldiers who want to cover their eyes.

Near the main gate of the citadel, sparkling magical lights are set on fire, illuminating it like daylight.

I wonder if there's a battle going on...!

I heard rage and screams and signs that the soldiers were fighting something.

When I stare, an arrow is fired from above the citadel and a small flame magic is emitted.

"Oh, my God."

We're under attack. Is there no safe place anywhere?

It would be hard to get past the inside of the citadel. First, we must defeat the enemy and secure Cherinor.

"Mr. Gugrecas, please." Please leave me here. "

"Don't say that..."

As Cherinhor twisted his body, he descended to the ground.

"Please go and help the soldiers."

She breathed into the girl's strong-willed eyes.

But...

"Without me, you can't fight Guglecus-sama." It's all right. Now that Grecas is here, we can help everyone!? "

You're trusting me. She stroked the girl's head with a giggling smile.

Check the nearby destroyed civilian houses and instruct them to hide in Cherinor.

"... I see."

"Be careful."

"I will definitely come back."

I turned the cloak of the wise man and ran out in a flurry.

It was about three hundred mertes to the battlefield in front of the main gate.

As I got closer, I knew what the battle was like. A dozen soldiers with swords, and a dozen soldiers with shields. It was only two monsters that were dealing with them.

A lion-headed... human? Cosplay?

From the top of my shoulder, I looked like a lion with a falcon. Is it a half-beast? However, his body was just like a human body that was cut and pasted. Half-naked men and women who are not close to the battle are fighting like dancing.

Ahhhh!

Wow!

Two monsters with lion heads were challenged by large warriors and female knights with silver armor.

I wonder if it's the leaders who lead the squad.

"Every human being is weak...!"

"It's no use, we can't win."

"Shut up...!"

Grrrrgh!

Two monsters of overwhelming strength fought desperately against the warriors and knights of the Citadel City. However, it was clear that the red-haired warrior with the sword and the knightly woman with the silver armor were being forced into a disadvantageous position.

The other soldiers split in half and try to help, but the strength dimension is different.

Whenever the red and green lights blinked, one soldier was defeated.

I'll eat later, so please try to kill me halfway. Nefertum.

The golden lion's head was half-naked. She wears thin silk and sometimes spits flames from her fists and mouth.

"I know, Zekmet. Ah, I killed you."

The black lion head laughs curly. It was like an innocent boy. I cut the soldier by putting out something like a green blade from the tip of my hand.

- That's a wise creature!

"-!? The civilians there!"

"Watch out, those leopard glasses over there!"

A warrior and a knight woman shouted at me as they fought against the two lions.

"What...!?"

That's where I accidentally got stuck with words.

The warrior was a giant red-haired man with tanned dark skin and white teeth. He had a shining sword on his body that could reach two meltes.

"E, Ergonote!?"

And the other knight woman looked familiar. Silver hair and white skin. The Battle Axe is so massive that it's unlikely to be a woman's weapon.

"Faria!?"

"I think you're mistaken for someone... go away!"

"No, they're going to kill me...!"

I noticed that the lion-headed boy was approaching with a fierce dash.

"Ahahahaha! Killing a weak one... it's fun, isn't it?

......! "

The face of a lion warped with ecstasy.

"Grrrr!?"

It seemed that the hard mode of life was becoming more intense.
