After that, we left the Demon Swordsman Association and looked at the three requests for the time being.

"A goblin, an auger, and a chimera ... I know the minimum information in rumors and pictures, but I've never seen the real thing ..."

They looked at each other as if surprised for a moment.

"Oh, is that so? I heard that the number of demons has been increasing recently ... I think I'll actually see it well ...?"

"Oh, I often hear that rumor ..."

I have never seen luck or bad luck.

Rose then tilted his head with Koten and asked.

"Maybe Allen was born of a noble?"

Probably because I said I've never seen a beast, I thought so.

Unfortunately, I wasn't raised in the greenhouse, but in the wind.

"No, no, the country is also countryside-from the village of Goza"

"Goza Village ...? I'm sorry, I don't understand a little."

"Huh, I guess so."

I laughed with the meds.

Goza Village is a very small village with a population of less than 100 people.

You will only know the villagers or the merchants who trade with the villages, and then only local officials.

It is a village with a small presence and economic size.

If you don't know Rose, it's easy.

I cough with Gohon and get back to the story that was about to derail.

"Well, what are you going to do? With these three types ... Is it from goblins?"

Defeat 5 Goblins.

Of the three requests, the required number of defeats is the highest, but the fighting power of each is not so high.

Probably this is the easiest request of this.

"Yeah ... first warm your body with the weakest goblin, then the ogre is a safe route."

"I think that's fine. The chimera is definitely the last."

The three people agreed exactly.

"All three appear in the Zol forest .... I guess they may have turned around here."

“Bonzo is a gentle person, isn't it?”

"Yeah, that blunt pupil answers."

"I'm scared, but I'm sure she's a good guy.

In any case, I'm grateful that all three of us decided on the same place of appearance.

Eliminates the hassle of moving.

"Let's go right now."

"" Wow! "

Thus we headed to the Zoll Forest, a bit away from Aorest.

Then go about one hour fast.

When we arrived at the Perzol forest, we were looking for the first target, the goblin.

Naturally, dangerous beasts other than goblins also live in the forest.

Therefore, we acted quietly so as not to make careless sounds.

Then

"Look, Allen ...!"

Peria whispered and pointed to the hooves on the ground.

"Is this ... a goblin footprint?"

"Well, definitely."

"It's still new. It's close."

"Okay, let's go more carefully from here."

Peria and Rose nodded with a click and we turned off our signs and searched for the goblin.

Two minutes later.

"……There it is"

I found seven goblins in front of me.

Green body surface.

Two feet walking about 100cm tall.

Muscular body.

A wooden club is hung on the waist.

(I'm seeing it for the first time, but it's the guy I heard.)

Fortunately, no goblins have noticed this.

The seven were gathered in one place and hungrily eating the nuts.

"I want to get it all at once, but that's what it is."

"Well, this is training."

"Yeah, let's fight head on."

The goal is not just to hunt goblins.

Combat with Goblins-Training to gain experience gained in battle.

If you hunt all by surprise, it doesn't make sense to train at all.

"Rear, Rose. Are you ready?"

"Well"

"of course"

After confirming that the two nodded, I purposely shook the nearby bush with my sword.

The sound of Bassavassa sounded, and the goblins who responded to it turned around at once.

"Gega!"

"Guguyogya!"

"Gyagyaga!"

The shouting voice shouted at each other, and the next moment they were attacking seven at the same time.

Leah and Rose took a firm hold on each, and I fired a check from a long distance.

"Ichi no Sword-Tokage!"

The flying shadow for the first time in a few days

"Hah !?"

It was released at three times the power and speed as usual.

"Buhi !?"

"Buhya !?"

"Guhya !?"

As a result, all seven goblins were cut off instantly.

"My goodness"

To be honest, this does not mean any training.

Looking back, there is

"Oh, Allen ...?"

"... lie?"

The two people who were puzzled by the unexpected situation were stuck with their mouths open.

"Well, um ... sorry, it's over ..."

I decided to apologize for the time being with a bitter smile.

"No, no, no ... what is it now !? It wasn't the usual" Hikage "!?"

"Maybe a new trick ...?"

They came close together with a curious appearance.

"No, no, it's the usual shadow effect ..."

However, by any means, the current blow was “triple” of ordinary flying shadow.

Speed, power, range, range-everything was orders of magnitude more than before.

(What's going on ...?)

I stared at my right hand, stunned.

Then

"Let's leave here for the time being."

Peria sees the seven dead goblins and suggests a move.

"Well, let's move for now."

In the meantime, you will be drawn to the smell of blood, and higher-ranking beasts and monsters will gather.

You should leave this area as soon as possible, taking care not to mix the pots.

Then when we start moving,

"Wait a minute ..."

Rose, with a familiar touch, quickly recovered the horns of seven goblins.

"that is……?"

"It's a goblin subjugation proof site. If you don't have this, your request will not be completed."

"Hey, is that so?"

As expected, I knew Rose because I was a magician.

"Let's go!"

"Well"

"Yup"

Then we walked away from this place and discussed the next target.

"Next is the ogre ..."

Defeat three augers.

Although the number is less than the goblins, the difficulty is definitely higher here.

Ogres are like goblins that have been enlarged.

Intelligence is much lower than goblins, but their size is purely a threat.

Although there are individual differences, even small ones have Paula's size.

-In other words, it is very large.

According to rumors, some mutants are more than 10 meters long.

"If you look for an auger ... after all there is water."

"That's right."

I nodded at the opinion of Leah.

As she says, the habitat of the ogre is almost always around the water.

They can't remember the terrain because their intelligence is too low.

In other words, if you leave the water area even once, you will not know how to return to it. Unfortunately, individuals who are unfortunately unable to find the next water site will die weakly due to lack of water.

So they basically instinctively can't leave the waters they once found-they can't.

"Speaking of the waters of the Zoll Forest ... there was a small river in the west, right?"

If I remember correctly, a small river would have been running north and south with Zudong.

"Well, I remember that too."

"Hey, I didn't know."

"Okay, let's first find the river and then explore the ogre."

"Yup!"

"all right"

Then we went west to west and soon found a beautiful stream.

We are watching the surroundings and climbing it upstream.

Then

"Oh, oh, oh ..."

"Wow wow ..."

"Gugugugu"

I found three augers.

They were moaning and walking along the river with Nossinoshi.

I'm sure he's looking for prey.

"Even so, it's huge ..."

I heard the rumor, but it's really big.

(Even though it's an eye measure, it's close to three meters ...

The three animals have a similar size, with a large club in their right hand.

If you get a blow from that giant body ... I'm sure it won't be enough.

If you are bad, you may be a Buddha in one blow.

We started consulting with a small voice, while being overwhelmed by the giant.

"You should go from the front, right?"

"I'm a little scared, but when I think about my training ... yes."

"Okay. Ogres are terrible. If you mess with a feint, you'll fall apart immediately."

Apparently, Rhodes, who excels in technology, seemed confident in defeating the ogre.

Indeed, her agile movement and Sakura Kazuki style go well with the ogre.

"I think ... I'll try to compare my strength a bit."

"Hey, Allen. I was thinking the same."

Lear said, she smiled with pleasure.

To be honest, if you say “not scary”, you will be lying.

Still, I want to know as a swordsman how far my abilities can pass against the proud ogre.

"If you don't think you can win with power, please switch back immediately?"

"I know, I won't be absurd."

"Just try it. Don't worry."

After we were well prepared-we hit a nearby pebble against the auger.

Then

"Ubo ...?"

One of the animals, which was impacted on the back of the head, turned around, and the other two turned around in the same way.

Ogre, who acknowledged our existence, distorted his face as soon as he said, "I found a prey."

"-Come on!"

"Well!"

"Leave it to me!"

When we take each position,

"U, Ubo, Ubo ... Uoooooooooo!"

"Ooooooooooooo ...!"

"Guuuuogugugugu ...!"

Ogres came to this place at once.

Contrary to the giant, they move quickly.

That body is never fat, it's all made up of muscle.

"Comparing power ... Koi!"

I waited for him to step into the gap, keeping my straight-eyed posture.

And

"Uva aa aa aa!"

"Say!"

The moment when my sword collided with the ogre club.

"Ubo !?"

With an overwhelming difference in power-the auger blew away.

"... what?"

I stared at the ogre rolling far away, making my eyes black and white.

afterwards,

"Haou-Ryu-Gougeki!"

"Sakura Ichito-Ryu-Sasen!"

Leah pushed with the power of her own soul dress because the simple power comparison with Ogre ended in a draw.

On the other hand, Rose had a beautiful sword technique and killed the auger with a wonderful turn.

After finishing all the augers safely, I approached Leah and Rose.

"Both are good friends."

"Thank you ... but maybe it's a bit complicated"

"Allen, when did you train so much?"

"No, I've been sleeping in the hospital for a few days, so my body should be dull ..."

The auger was just too unresponsive.

Perhaps it was originally weak or the weakest of the three animals.

Thus, the monster extermination proceeded smoothly as expected.

Certainly, as Bonds said, exterminating pests was the correct answer.

Then we headed for the last three requests-the defeat of Chimera.

The chimera differs from the previous two requests in that the location of the nest was clearly written in the request.

We carefully go to the chimera nest so as not to come in contact with other troublesome beasts or pests.

Across the river, through a small pond, and on an animal trail-I found his nest.

"……There it is"

There was a chimera in the middle of the slightly raised plateau.

A chimera is an individual that combines three species of lion, goat, and snake.

The face is a lion, the back is a large face of a goat, and the tail is a long snake.

Especially the movement of snakes is agile, and their fangs have strong paralyzing poison.

Three animals are very tough because they have independent thinking.

The chimera in front of me was sleeping pronely on a handmade bed of tree branches and grass.

"I'm asleep even though it's one ... I wonder if it feels like a relaxed and calm?"

"... No, look closely. The tail snake has one eye open."

Rose pointed at the chimera's tail.

As she said, if you look closely, a purple snake opened one eye and was alert to the surroundings.

"Chimeras are different than before.

Rose cautioned us.

"Have you ever fought?"

"Yeah, old days"

Then Rose tells us about his experience at that time.

"It was a strong enemy. The lion in front, the goat in the back, and the snake in the tail-each attack and defend with their own judgment.

"That's ... it's definitely annoying."

"Yeah, but the worst thing about it is its hull. The chimera's hull is very hard. It's not a cut unless you go deep enough."

"I see ... I need to get close enough to do the damage.

Rose nodded with a click.

(This is a strong enemy ...)

Demons are not stupid.

I understand exactly how far you go.

In other words, if you try to reduce the distance more than a certain distance, three lions, goats and snakes will stand and block at the same time. Indeed, it was enough to tell that listening was a strong enemy.

Then we talked closely with each other and decided the strategy.

First of all, me and the rear-two people who shoot heavy blows in close combat suppress lions and goats with strong power.

During that time, Rose catches the troublesome snake with the quick Sakura Kazuki style.

After that, while maintaining the favorable situation of three-to-two, do not overdo it and strike down with Jiwajiwa.

Don't try to force a blow or hit a critical point-a solid strategy.

"Lear, are you ready?"

"Well, let's go with three counts. Rose should keep snakes in line with that."

"all right"

Lear started counting slowly.

"Three ... two ... one ..."

Tension runs in three people.

"Zero ...!"

At that moment, we started running all at once.

(……e?)

But, when I realized, I was already-to the chimera fuselage.

An empty body in front of you.

Leah and Rose are still far behind.

"Ki, kisha!"

"But, Garru !?"

"Meeeee !?"

The snake made a violent noise and the lion and goat heard it and jumped up.

But it's too late.

I'm already stepping into the depths of their pockets—the deadly deadline.

(... I can do it!)

At this distance, you can do a lot of damage without a single blow!

I swung down the sword I had already raised-all at once.

"Eight swords-Yatakarasu!"

At that moment, eight sharp slashes attack the chimera.

Moreover, it is different from Yatakara.

Not only were there eight slashes, but each one was terrifyingly sharp-like a sword with all nerves concentrated and fired.

And the eight slashes are like slashing tofu-in an instant, they split the chimera into eight.

"……e?"

"What's this?"

"U, lie ..."

Rear and Rose were holding their swords in front of the chimera, which did not move with Picli.

Thus, the first three requests were almost accomplished by myself.
