'I'm going to the island, don't look for me. Masal'
It was also the fifth day of the defensive battle, and it was this placing letter that Lancelot, who came to his office like a day in a row, saw.
"I knew he was going, that idiot, why would he move alone! If you get hit by poison, it's life-threatening... Wade! Prepare Cook Platoon! I'll take you out to the island. We're bringing Masaru back.
"Yes, I did, let's get it ready right away.
Six people are ordered to appear in the demon's nest on a call from just early in the morning and are rushed to prepare with little breakfast.
"Now you will come under my command. The goal is to bring back the Massal who infiltrated the island alone. If possible, I'll check on an ad hoc basis about demonic nests and ecology. I hear you can all use the bow. I have a bow here that Masaru sent out as a trade item to the city, so I'll lend it to each of you, so you can use it if you want. It's a worm string bow in Toronto. Precision and strength are both first-class.
Everyone has bows and arrows and short spears in their leather armor, united in a style with short swords hanging on their hips, conscious of guerrilla warfare in the forest. Even Lancelot puts down his favorite sword, which is unfavourable on board ships and in forest warfare up to the island, and wears the same gear.
"You're ready, then we'll be out in a minute! If he's late, he'll start the festival alone.
Everyone here has understood.
"" "" "" "This guy just wants to ram along!!
But it was also the sad habit of the Knights not to be able to defy their bosses.
The area is surprisingly quiet and shows no signs of creatures when you land safely on the island without any onboard raids that you were concerned about.
"That's crazy... I haven't even seen a bee today. What did he do to you?
It is already clear that Massal is doing something by not even seeing the demons of bees flying off the island as the sun begins to rise here for days.
"Anyway, keep your guard up and move on.
The island is surrounded by cluttered woods and a rocky mountain about 100 m high in the centre. There are many places to hide yourself, but there is a good chance that you will be ambushed in reverse, so proceed cautiously to Rock Mountain.
"What are you doing here?
Just a few moments away from Rock Mountain, all of a sudden I get a voice and everyone gets a loose battle system, but no one.
"Where!?... it's a masal... right?
"Everywhere... I'm right in front of you...
"What's in front of you..................!! Is that a masal?
One line found something of a man-shape where only eyes barely see dead trees, leaves, etc. all over your body… it's completely blended into the clutter around you, and you won't find it if you haven't walked or moved.
"Oh, it's me. Wait a minute...
A row where you can finally tell it's masal when you take off what was covering your body and also remove the mask that was covering your mouth and head.
"What the fuck is this?!? Wearing this in a demon's nest?
"This is amazing... you're in front of me and I didn't totally get it...
Guy and Buggy are blinded by Masaru's undressed suit as they sparkle their eyes.
"This is an outdoor covert gear called a Gilly Suit, which is a convenient item for reconnaissance and ambush, although it's intrusive to move around. He and the other bees have good eyes, so I thought I might have some special gear to ambush them.
A gilly suit is a suit in which snipers and the like weave themselves to hide themselves by imitating branches, leaves of trees, moss and the like in order to blend into the terrain.
"Surprise... what happened to the guy in question? No way......... you must have wiped them all out already!
"Commander Lancelot, the truth is leaking.
Cook twitching as he sighs...
"No, I'm going to be in the nest, so if you can help me...
"You still have a show! Good... I didn't see the bee so I thought you'd wiped it out already.
…………………
From the back of a lancelot headed to Rock Mountain with exasperation, Massal turns away softly.
"Hey... is that Mages!? You mean there's no show of command!
"What!?
Lancelot stuffed to a turning massal with momentum.
"What have you done? Why don't you tell me because I'm not angry?
"No... I don't know what to say... I was smoking inside with tons of smoke blocking the entrance before the sun came up because it turns out the rocky mountains were caved and nested round... I know it's not time for total annihilation, but I don't think there are any more individuals who can move, okay?
"............... how long have you been smoking with smoke?
"Because it's been four hours... since the Knights morning meeting started. Is it about lunch time?
Lancelot rushes up the gear.
"We're in a hurry! Keep it up. Then my show's completely gone!
"We're ventilating inside right now, so if we go in, we're in danger, right?
"... it's not just smoke, is it?
"Boulder Eldam! I smoked a lot of poisonous mushrooms and poisonous grass that I was told were dangerous when I put them in the fire, so I think it was probably amazing inside.... It's okay, but I still don't think it's the kind of guy people die for easily...
……………………
Lancelot is already out of line.
"… Command. I hope it hasn't been wiped out.
Those words had not reached my ears.
