The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

About three hours have passed since the start of the disturbance.

Rioma, who runs around the city in small boats and magic with strawberries of the city defenders and raiders, looks back and notices something, and immediately looks forward and speeds up.

What's the matter?

“The slime in the laundromat and garbage disposal reacted. It looks like an attack.”

"Come here, will you?" Don't you have to go? "

“There are a lot of other places that are in trouble, and it seems that other enemies that were lurking began to move.”

Ryouma removes a tube-like container from her jacket's pocket, swallows all the magic medicine inside, and supplies magic power to the slime that is assimilated with the turbulence that carries the ship. This will further increase the ship's speed.

"There are Faye and the others in the store, and they are prepared to protect non-combatants." Besides, if there's a delay in dealing with the others here, that's what the enemy thinks. Are you more than ready to fight? "

Sure

Well then, I'm going to stick it in like this!

Immediately after Ryoma's declaration, the boat slipped into the current fire site like a car that had slipped on a frozen road. Attacking crowds for extinguishing fire, a group of adventurers jumped together.....

"Shit! Even in an emergency, I wanted you to drop me off a little more safely!"

Speaking of an unreachable request, Yudham jumps from the ship on the verge of collision, knocking down one of the assailants near the landing site.

The turmoil in the city had not yet subsided, and this raid and battle were only the tip of the iceberg.

■■■

At the same time... on the street facing the laundromat and bamboo forest, Ox, the shop's security guard, and about 20 adventurers spaced apart from each other, breathing a disturbing air.

“That's why we're here to help guard this place. At the request of a child named Ryouma

"I didn't hear that story. I'll ask you to leave."

"This is the situation in the city, you're delayed in contacting me." Please check with the people above you. "

"The shopkeeper himself told me that he would leave the protection of this place to me." I don't send reinforcements, I don't come here myself. ”

"There's a change in the order."

"That's enough."

Behind the man who was appealing to get inside, an adventurer pulled out his sword.

"Hey, hey!"

"Shut up, I was planning on messing with you the last time." If you honestly opened the door for me, I'd be glad to have less trouble, but if not, I'll have to kill you. "

”Well, I guess... I don't have time to push questions... it's too much trouble when people come.”

Starting with the words of the man, the other men also put up their weapons.

The light leaking from the interior of the store reflected suspiciously.

Ox stared quietly at the situation and said a word.

"I heard you kill me, but you think you're gonna kill me?"

"Hah! Looks like the former champion of some arena, but you can't even use your proud double swords with one arm." This number makes it easy to win! Let 'S GO!! "

Oh!

The men surrounded Ox all at once.

And the first to jump out of the siege was the man who ordered it.

The man swung his sword at Ox's right shoulder.

But the blade didn't reach the flesh, and as the treble resounded, it shattered.

Ox, who unleashed his sword in an instant, held the sword in his reverse hand high.

“How's it going?

You don't have enough training.

"What the hell!?"

In the air, a sword like a machete, which was changed in turn, was swung down to the man's right shoulder mouth with one-sided words.

It was a so-called "peak beating", but the power of a blow that added Ox's strength and gravity to the metal mass of the sword was tremendous. With the simple shoulder strap that the man was wearing, his clavicle was easily crushed, and the impact also reached his lungs.

The man unexpectedly lifted up his agonizing voice, retreating in a reflex and falling, crawling away with his left hand.

When Ox glanced at such a man, he approached the spearmaster as he slipped with his sword at the tip of the spear pushed in from the side. I quickly broke my hand holding the spear.

Next, the knife that approaches from behind moves forward one step and switches bodies, while drawing a large circle and crushing the enemy's arms from above, and instantly lifting the chin with a jumping handle.

Sometimes he was on his way, and the man who was struck in the jaw flew like he was jumping by a carriage.

The fact that three people were shot in just a few seconds makes the remaining men disappear.

"What's the matter, aren't you coming?" I did lose my left hand, but I could shake one with my right. Did you come out of that understanding? "

Ugh, at the same time! If we all slap the bag together, there's nothing we can do with a right hand!

Laughing

One of them shouted and the remaining men tried to move, but the action was interrupted by another sword that Ox was wearing.

The sword that jumped out of the sheath one by one and fanned out in front of it fits in the left hand of Ox who lost it in a large arc.

The sword floated.

"Shit! It's magic!"

"If you're a Beastman, you don't have a lot of magic power!" You're going to be bumpy soon! "

If that's the case, you just have to settle it sooner.

For the first time, Ox takes the lead.

Due to the siege, he flew his left sword to the center of the men spreading from left to right, and he headed to one of the right ends. And when I thought that I had swiped my blade off with my right sword, the left sword that came back hit the man's head.

Ox, who had lost his left hand and could not abandon his lack of skill and obsession with the sword, created the technique as a painstaking measure. It met Ryoma, received a sustained magic power recovery medicine, and as a result of overcoming the weakness of magic power, not only the simple endurance but also the alchemy dramatically improved.

"Ok, help me!"

Let's do this, ugh! Awwww!

Giaaaaa!

The left sword was more spacious than waving with its hand because of its magic power. By harnessing its advantages, Ox controls the men who surround him and knocks him down from the isolated.

"I can't stand being hit!"

I'm not the right person to fight. One of them decided to launch a special attack of one to eight, but the blade was blocked by the right sword. Sometimes with delicate skill, sometimes with the power that comes from its great skill, it doesn't allow itself to reach the enemy's attack.

Left of "offensive" and right of "defensive". The two swords dance endlessly, engulfing the enemy like a tornado.

……

Half of the men who couldn't get close to each other were out of combat, and one of the men who was farther away from Ox began to concentrate his magic power on his palm.

"Firebo!?"

But that magic was never complete.

"What's with this needle, uhh..."

The man stops the magical activation of the pain in his shoulder mouth and recognizes a thin needle-like object on his shoulder.

In this short amount of time, severe pain and numbness were on the man's arm.

"What, what is this smoke!?"

One of the people who noticed the anomaly noticed further anomalies as they tried to call out.

At some point, there was a thick smoke behind them, and the darkness of the night combined to significantly obstruct their vision.

Now that there are fires all over the city, it's not strange that smoke and smell come out. However, just as the men who were watching Ox didn't notice, this is the only place (...) not surrounded by smoke.

The men thought it was obviously man-made, but it was a little late.

Shit.

”Gaaa!”

"Who is it? Come out!"

The needle jumping out of the smoke was piercing the men's limbs one after another, making them incapable of fighting.

The men also try to track the enemy from the path of the needle that stabbed them.

Guhhhh!

"Nh, ugh"

Here, Dolce and Fay, the security guards at the same store as Ox, break in.

Dolce hit the head of the man who was near him with the spear he had, and went into the smoke again. Faye quickly restrains herself and drags her into the smoke as she takes a silent stalker behind her. Then, aiming at the gap where the two were distracted, they attacked the men who were left with a poison needle.

In the meantime, the men were also incapacitated by Ox's onslaught.

There are only three more who can still fight.

"Shit!"

"Ah, hey! Don't run away!"

They're going to kill me!

"Shut up! If it's the same, I'll run to the end!"

It must have been decided that there was no more chance of winning.

One of them rushes toward the smoke wall, and throws it away to the rest of the people who stop him.

"Giaaaa!!"

Shortly after the man broke into the smoke wall, a scream rose from the smoke.

"Will you let me escape..."

"Damn, what the hell are these guys!" Why are these people doing precautions in small shops all over the city!? You shouldn't have been a slave, but this is a complete trap. It's set, it's set, we're set!! "

I gave up, I started to get confused... the two of them were completely lost, and soon they were captured.

"Around the store, I looked lightly. For now, I don't see any other enemies."

"I see, Master Lee Lin, the support was very helpful." And Lord Faye and Lord Dolce. "

"I don't think the outcome will change without us."

"Attacking from a distance is troublesome." I don't have much experience in capturing enemies who escape. Without losing, I might have let the man who escaped first escape. "

"It's unlikely that you'll ever catch a fugitive running away in the arena." We're better at it than fighting, and the slime we borrowed from the shopkeeper makes it very easy. "

Faye laughed as she turned to a bamboo tube tied to her waist.

Then, like a thread spun with smoke drifting around, it enters a hole in the bamboo festival.

It evolved from an ash slime, a smoke slime.

It usually looks like a pile of ash like an ash slime, or like a mass, but the particles are so light and fine that they drift into the air. Ability to be close to Ash Slime and Sand Slime, and to intentionally spread and assemble the body if instructed.

Using this property, Faye was creating a "smoke screen that could be manipulated freely".

"I'm also very comfortable because the needle will be replenished as much as necessary." It was a bit troublesome to adjust the amount of poison, but it was a trivial problem. "

Lee Lin laughed as she showed everyone the slime wrapped around her right wrist like a bracelet.

Sting Slime evolved from Poison Slime.

"It's also useful for arrest. I didn't think I was going to sign with Slime....."

Riding on Dolce's shoulder is a “spider slime” that spits a stronger thread than sticky, making the captured men immobile.

Dolce couldn't use his magic when he was hired. It's not that I have less magic power and more talent. Above all, I grew up in a slum and was not blessed with a leader, so I didn't even think about learning magic.

However, while working as a security guard in the Bamboo Forest, I had more leisure and free time. Dolce used this leisure time for self-reinforcement, training in his spare time, hoping that he could use only the initial enhancement magic.

Maria and Ryouma, who manage the slime of the store, and Fei and Lee Lin, who also mastered magic in their previous job relationships, were also close by to ask questions.

As a result, Dolce mastered obedient sorcery and contracted the Spider-Slime provided by Ryoma. Together with Faye and Lee Lynn, who had also mastered the basics of witchcraft, they were able to strengthen their security.

"If the vice store managers are in the" special room "prepared by the store manager, we will only intercept the enemy." However, you were only half-manly. "

"... maybe these guys are adventurers, but they're not very good at it." I think he borrowed money from a bad-looking loan loaner. ”

"The people who were trying to sneak into the dormitory from the back were also crying out for debt."

Dolce's words were followed by those of the assailants that Lee Lynn had heard.

Dolce then turned his attention to the assailants, who were unconscious and tied up, and continued.

"As a child, I heard from an adult in a slum that lending money of a bad nature may be connected to" illegal "slave traders... there is no right or dignity of slaves that is protected by law." You're not a bastard to be sold. The collection is also strict, and if you can't collect it from yourself, you will persistently go after your family members and relatives, so it is difficult to escape. "

"I see... I think the guy who borrowed money from such a place deserved it... but as a person who became a slave through debt, I feel a little bit of sympathy."

After a full day of work, the conversation will also be there, and the four will take turns taking a break to prepare for the raid.

And Ox, who was left alone on the front of the store, waited for the guard who would eventually come to pick up the men.

(I was lucky to be sold to a decent slave dealer and now I have a good life...)

And, I swear to myself that I will do my best to protect the store and employees again by secretly cheating on my own good fortune.

It will be difficult to break the Ox head-on and hurt the shop and employees.

The two ex-assassassins couldn't have forgiven them for attacking with a masked hand or an ambush.

Seriously, there were also Dolce and Slime who had put their strength into the tunnel.

Even in the absence of Ryoma, the launderer's Bamboo Forest was well guarded.
