The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

Half a day after the Serge raid...... it's late at night, the day changes, and a lot of people sleep.

The moon and stars are hidden in thick clouds, and the city of Gimmel awaits the morning in the darkness of night, giving rise to puffiness, puffiness and light. It was accompanied by a continuous roar of lightning, telling people that it was too early in the morning.

"What, what is it!?"

A man, shaken by the roar, looks around unknowingly. Then he looked out the window in front of him and was stunned and rushed out after a few seconds of stiffness.

"Hey! Wake up! Everybody wake up!!"

"What are you, you're so noisy in the middle of the night..."

"It's not the time to say that!" The house across the street is "on fire!"

And when he heard it, his wife ran in haste to the child that was lying on the bed, and rubbed her eyes; and the man went out, and called out to the neighbour. In an instant, chaos and fear spread among the inhabitants, and the area surrounding the house, which was bursting with fierce flames, was engulfed by the hustle and bustle of people desperately screaming for shelter and extinguishing the fire.

Such a scene spread all over the city of Mumyo.

"Water! Open the reservoir! Quickly!"

"Is there anyone who hasn't seen you!?" Wake up the sleeper! "

“Take the children to safety!”

Someone call the guards!

Oh, my God!

"I know it's tough!" Better move than that! "

"Oh no! It's about a fire, but it's not like that... there's a fire going up from the store across the street, and there's not one or two spots out of the other building!" You need more people, you can't get more people together! The guards are running around, and they won't be able to help you anytime soon! "

The fact that a man ran breathlessly puzzles the neighbors, who were paying attention to the fire in the building in front of them. The residents of the house next to the flaming building expressed their despair that the spread of fire was a matter of time.

When that happens,

Please clear the way!

In the ears of the gathered people were "the voice of the boy" and "the sound of the water" so as to scratch off the surrounding noise. If the people who heard it turned their gaze towards the sound, the "river" of the torrential current flowing in the street from a distance and the "small boat" running over it. Furthermore, among the two people who could see on the boat, one of the "boy" was dressed in a slightly unusual clothes.

With all this information, it was clear who it was.

It didn't take long for an acquaintance to call out, and the torrents and ryouma boats slip past the clear paths and into front of the burning buildings. The torrents that carried the ship without putting hair in it soared high and rained down on the burning building like a waterfall... I thought, packing the building up to the snow and mud that had accumulated on the ground.

It's as if a giant slime is about to swallow a building, and the muddy water envelops the building once or twice. Each time the momentum of the fire waned, and the fire was put out in about ten seconds.

As the threat that existed in front of me was removed for the time being, relief came to the faces of the people who were gathered. But on the other hand,

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

There was a man on the boat who called out in a hurry to Leo. It was a man who earlier complained about the situation in the city to the people who were gathered here. The man, desperate, rushes over to the boat with the rhubarb, and starts screaming out loud.

"What the hell is going on!?" There are fires all over the city! You're doing a lot with the guards, aren't you?! If you know something, tell me!

Besides, I appreciate you putting out the fire, but what if somebody's still inside in this way? Heehee. "

The one-sided man suddenly stepped back. At the end of the man's gaze, Liouma's eyes, which were inorganic and could not read emotions, were directed from the ship. The fire subsided and it was dark around here. The only man who noticed the fire was the one who was standing there, but the man suddenly shut up and the people around him also noticed it.

"Shopkeeper, your eyes are scared." I know it's hard to control magic.

"I'm sorry, I feel stunned."

When Yudham, who was on the boat, sandwiched his mouth from the side, Ryouma said as if nothing had happened, and then responded to the man's words to everyone in the room.

"There is no one in this building. Rest assured, it was checked by magic just before. As for the current situation, I do not know except that" there are fires in several places in the city ". First of all, I thought that fire extinguishing activities were the first thing, so I jumped out. But now my security company is working with the Guard and the Adventurer's Guild to investigate and extinguish the fire.”

Listening to the words of the man and the leopard, the threat in front of them disappeared and the anxiety faded, but the people were screaming with uneasiness. and further to that,

“Don't worry,” I won't say! Act with a sense of crisis and put your safety first! And if possible, please cooperate with evacuation guidance and fire fighting activities elsewhere! The more manpower you have, the better! Thank you very much! "

Leo raised his voice so as not to be scratched away by the whispering and lowered his head deeply.

Seeing the figure, the bewildered people also start to move to do what needs to be done.

Of course! I'll help you!

"I can't just leave you alone!"

"Thank you! Oh, those who are evacuating and those who are injured are preparing to be accepted at the same hospital as the security company!" Don't hesitate to use it if you decide you need it! "

Ryouma, who called out to the people who started to move again, saw the man earlier here.

You

"Oh, it's me."

"I'm sorry, but could you go to the stuffing place of the guard as a liaison?" If only you could tell us that there was a fire here and that it has already been extinguished. "

Ah, yeah, that's about it.

“Thank you! Now, get in.”

Huh?

"I will go to the next fire scene as well." Let's go with you along the way, it's fast. ”

Riouma's attitude was silent, but now it was an emergency, and there was no one to blame for it. Rather, a gaze like "Hurry up" pierces the man who shows hesitation in front of you.

The man jumped into Leo's boat in a hurry.

Well then, let's go!

At the same time, the muddy water surrounding the building collapsed like a bubble, flowing and starting to lift the boat. As the ship speeds up, Yudham calls out to the man on board.

"I'm sorry, the store manager forced it."

I'm sorry to bother you earlier, but it seems that I was distracted by this situation.

"It would be great if you could say that." As I said before, the store manager only maintains this magic, which is quite burdensome. "

"... is that such a burden?"

"That's right. I use magic like an idiot, I need delicate control, and if I don't concentrate on control when I'm moving at this speed, I can't have a conversation because I can't have an accident." That's why I'm helping out with the ride...... but I have a little bit of work to do here, too. "

With that, Yudham begins work on the rear of the hull.

……

The man then alternates between Yudham and Ryouma, and begins to observe. And Yudham's attention to it confirms that Ryouma hasn't turned to herself. The man who decided that neither eye was facing himself gently reached for his hips and pulled out his knife.

And when I tried to put the blade on the back of the leopard who was concentrating on magic manipulation.

"Giggle!?"

Suddenly, a wire slime swinging down the leopard's wrist strikes.

Moreover, Yudham captured the arm of the man who had dropped the knife tirelessly from behind, and pushed it to the bottom of the boat to smash his face into it.

"Why, why..."

"Because I was vigilant from the beginning." There was an operative after all. "

Ryouma quickly wraps a wire slime around the neck of a man in a puppet and squeezes it down.

"Nice job, but is that okay?" I didn't have to listen to you. "

"We don't have much time right now, and in this way, he will be treated like a discard pawn." I don't think I have much information. ”

"If I had important information, I would be escaping with the guidance of my friends or being disposed of... Either way, are you there?" If we catch one of these guys and lose all of our plans, we'll be saved. "

“It must have been my job to stir up anxiety and chaos in the city. I've been interrupted, but it seems that the encounter with us was a coincidence... Dear, because we interrupted, we were restricted from the top, and we were in a hurry to protect ourselves. Isn't that what happened?"

"But you get it, don't you? This guy's probably an infiltrator or something in the other direction. Anyway, I couldn't say that my behavior was unnatural because of this situation."

"That's right, I seem to have acquired the skills of" malicious intent sensing "and" hostility sensing "before I knew it... today, no, already yesterday." There was a raid on Serge at noon, wasn't there?

Later, a Yashma escort pointed me out, and I noticed it on the status board. I haven't checked it for a long time, but maybe I got it when I first met Yudham. ”

"Oh, the store manager was very tingly at that time." I didn't realize it, but I was sensitive to the malice and hostility of the rough city. "

"Ah, the rampage at that time... I guess it's because I haven't been exposed to much malice or hostility lately." There are many kind and gentle people around me right now. I want to think that people in a state of starvation suddenly eat a lot of food and throw up without their bodies accepting it...... "

Riouma recalls the history of black and gives a dry smile.

Yudham, by contrast,

"But that's how you stopped the day raids, right?" I'm glad to hear it. "

"It's true that I was able to detect it just now, but I think I was lucky enough to find that the combination of" grasping the magic body "and" searching for enemies using slime "that I had recently trained in the hospital also matched the enemy's abilities well."

"It's hard to intentionally wear malicious or hostile sensing, and it's often given preferential treatment when working as an escort, so it won't hurt to wear it.

Nevertheless, Slime's sensing abilities are so impressive. I've never heard of it.

“It would be difficult if it didn't go well with slime. Also, if you don't get used to it, you will get a lot of headaches, and it may be difficult to notice and use. I could still bear it, and I was more interested in slime.”

“At least I've never seen anyone surpass the store manager in their enthusiasm for slime.”

"There are quite a few people who have enthusiasm. I don't think Yudham knows, but there are about three former slime researchers in the laundromat branch."

Huh, is that so?

"Well, I don't want to lose with enthusiasm... but I'm almost to the next scene"

Roger that. We need to (...) do our job, too.

“Let's do everything we can.”

Ryouma turned to the dark sky, further increasing the ship's speed.
