The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)
Defending the garbage dump
"This will be fine for now." Then, you need to go to the hospital for good medical care. ”
"Oh, thank you. Thank you so much..."
"Shopkeeper, we're done here." Fortunately, there are no serious injuries. "
After suppressing the adventurers who were raiding the city, Ryouma and Yudham used light magic to create lights and provide first aid to the injured on the spot.
“Thank you for your help. I didn't watch it very closely, but it was pretty tricky.”
This is the kind of person who wanted to be a knight, so I think it would be easy to do something about it.
When the two of them were talking like that, they heard a sigh of horse from a distance.
Are you here?
"Looks like you're here." There are three of them. "
I saw the carriage lights approaching from a distance in the eyes of Ryoma.
The leading owner shouted as the three carriages approached so close that they could be seen only faintly.
"I'm a member of the Guard! Are you all safe!?"
I'm fine!
"Come quickly!"
In response to the caller's words, the people responded with a reassuring expression and guided the carriage.
And the personnel on the arriving carriage promptly deal with the situation on the scene.
“We have been informed that there is a mob here. The mob is the one that's fallen and piled up, right?"
"Yes! These two have captured me!"
"Understood. We'll take care of them." If you need medical attention, please take a subsequent carriage ride. Then, you must be Mr. Ryouma, right? "
"Yes, this is Lyuma Takebayashi."
"This is a message from the headquarters of the security company." The incidence of fire tends to decrease, but many people are injured. She asks to participate in hospital treatment. "
"I got your message." I will go to the hospital immediately. Please take care of the rest. "
Ryouma and Yudham went to the hospital attached to the Guard Headquarters.
■■■
Meanwhile... there was a horse-drawn carriage and five men inside the garbage dump.
The five of them take out the carriages containing oil one after the other, and oil the entrances of the lattice-shaped garbage installed on the floor and the garbage before the treatment stacked next to them.
That's all of it.
"All that's left is to light the fire." Get away from the hole. "
One of them cast fire magic when he confirmed that everyone was away from the inlet. The small fireball created in the man's palm ignites a pile of oiled garbage and further into the inlet, and the flame spreads quickly.
"Giggling... ah?"
When the men saw the flames burning, they immediately tried to escape.
However, he stopped at the momentum of the suddenly rising flames.
"Hey, what's with the fire?"
Oh, how much oil does it burn like this?
"There was something in the hole that was easily burned, wasn't there?" Or maybe the slime inside is burning. Sometimes there are plant-based demons and beasts, and people who have oil in their bodies. "
"I don't care, I did what I was told to do." More than that, let's get out of here, people will come, and just in case they get wrapped up in the fire they let out themselves-- "
The words of the man who was hurrying to retreat stopped halfway. Because "translucent tentacles" were stupid at the edge of the line of sight that I saw sideways while getting into the carriage.
The tentacles are as thick as logs, and when they stretch high enough to reach the ceiling, I think they twisted the whole thing as if the snake were a sickle. The next moment, I shredded the pile of garbage to lick the burning flame and took in the objects that were on fire.
"- Get away from the carriage!!"
"Ugh!?"
"Guuu!?"
The tentacles hit the men as they were. The men avoided a direct blow in one place, but various pieces of garbage falling from the giant tentacles struck their bodies. In the carriage where the mass of the giant tentacle was properly knocked down, the cover and skeleton collapsed, and cracks were everywhere.
Hiiiiiinn!?
"Ah! Calm down!"
What surprised me about this sound and shock was the two horses that were connected. The horses, who were not frightened by the fire, fell into a state of excitement in an instant, and the carriages that had been damaged by the violent beating broke.
Heading straight to the door leading to the outside, a man reached for the reins to catch the horse that ran out in the blink of an eye.....
"Eh... ah, ahhhhh!"
At the foot of the man who was staring at the reins, another tentacle stretched out from the object that had been swung down. The tentacles intertwined the feet of the man in an instant, and pulled the man into the inlet of the burning garbage.
"Get off me! Get off me!"
The man pulled out his knife and tried desperately to cut off his tentacles. However, the blade or tip of the knife only glides on the surface of the tentacle. Rather than cutting it off, it doesn't hurt as much as the hole in the needle.
"Why!? Why don't you stab me!?"
In the meantime, the toes of the man who was dragged arrived at the garbage entrance.
The feet are seized by the fire, and the burning fire spreads from the shoes to the clothes and all over the body.
"Uwaahhh! It's hot! Help me!"
The man who hits around me as he asks for help,
"That's not the point!" You're dying on your own! "
The other four lightly chopped off the burning man.
Besides, they were only in a relationship where the work they were instructed to do was the same by chance.
I wasn't one of them, I didn't have any ties, I just wanted to help myself.
"How many are there? This big slime is also coming out of other holes." We're completely surrounded! Is there somewhere I can get through!? "
"I can't do this either!" If the blade is no good, can you burn it with magic!? "
No, the surface is lightly scorching, and in an instant, it's back to normal
"No matter how big, Slime should be able to kill you by crushing the nucleus!" Find the nucleus! "
The four look around in search of the slime nucleus. But the wreckage of the carriage and the other three were in sight. And the tentacles that folded into a thick ring surrounding them (......).
If the nucleus isn't in the visible range, isn't it coming out from below!
"Wow, it's getting bigger and bigger and bigger... but it's not a wall anymore." No way, it's not like there's more than one big one, but one big one? "
"This is bullshit! How big is this!?"
"Sure enough, if Deke is still like this... [physical strengthening]!" UUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Here, one of the intruders used magic to improve his physical abilities, put on a runner, scaffolded the wreckage of a broken carriage, and tried to jump over the tentacle ring. The jump was so high that it seemed to pass lightly by the ridge separating the houses, and it seemed that it would succeed......
"Huh!?"
From the part of the ring that was about to jump over, the newly grown tentacles stretched out and collided.
The man was taken by his tentacles without crashing.
"No, no, no! Get off me!"
”Even though it's a slime, it's a trained devil...... ku”
Here, the dwarf man who decided it was impossible to jump over suddenly twitched.
"Hey!?"
What's going on this time?!
"Suddenly, my head is shaking."
"Shit! It's not like you're talking about a headache!"
Suddenly? No poison!?
"I don't remember being attacked like that... uuuu"
Before the words were finished, the nagging man lost consciousness.
"Shit! What the hell is this nitride! Even if you have to put up with something stinky, I didn't hear anything like this!"
"Hey, don't give up!"
"Shut up!"
A man frustrated by the lack of a solution, picks up the wreckage of a carriage rolling at his feet and starts throwing it. Wheels, fittings, and the skeleton of the flaming harpoon are thrown according to the treatment, but they are hit and bounced back, or they are captured as they are, and have no effect.
If it had a strong effect... it might have had the effect of making the thrown man recognize as an "enemy".
"When this job is done, I will return!" That's why I'll kill anybody who gets in my way, whether it's a slime or a guard! I'm in this place-- "
The fire struck the man who was crying out.
It wrapped around the man in an instant, screaming and dying.
Perhaps the man who was crying didn't understand what was going on either.
The other, who barely avoided the flames, was looking at the part, but he was beginning to lose consciousness due to a sudden acid deficiency (...).
"Fire, no, the burning wind (...)?... there was such a thing, and the security was so weak... if it was like this, I'd have to flee to another country... I still have hope for that one..."
In the end, one of the remaining men lost consciousness.
Once again, the tentacles divided into multiple silent treatment plants capture everything that remains of the spark.
When all hazards are eliminated, the tentacles quietly return to their original positions.
All that was left was a clean disposal yard and a burnt smell as if nothing had happened.....
