The "Meteor Claire" party started the next morning.Leading the guide is the basin in the mountains.It seems good for camping because there is no wind, but there is also a side of it that has a shaved bowl that has poor prospects.

This is where the geologist and Posey met.

"Heh...."

There was a pile of stones in the shape of a jade, and there were some large stones rolling nearby.

Certainly, there was a man who once rested here - there are traces of that.

Party members gather around Claire.

Let's take a look at the map.

"This is where I am right now... why don't you go up high and look around?"

"Do you want to take a break?"

You can still go.

"I don't think there are any monsters at all.No, we didn't meet today. "

"Is there a water field around here?Conductor, where can I get water -- Conductor? "

They noticed.

The guide who spent the mountain road so far stood about 20 meters away from them.

And he smiled secretly.

"What? In a place like that-- Claire, don't bug me!"

One of them was covered by Claire, and the sound of the sky being torn apart was followed by a shock.

Gaaah!

An arrow pierced the man's back.

!?

Enemy!

"Where is it!?"

"Stand by, shield!"

They form around Claire and the fallen man who protects her.

Soon there will be shadows lined up on the slopes surrounding this basin.

Not only the human race, but also the beast and dwarf, many of whom were men.

The number will be as high as 50.

"... who are they?"

An adventurer with a huge kiteshield asked him to roar, and a guide slowly climbed the slope with his hind legs.

"Answer me. What are you gonna do? You'll be killed here."

"You set us up because you knew we were rank B."

"I know. I know very well that you have good equipment."

The members of "Meteor Claire" thought their aim was now known.

Equipment.

Sure, they have a lot of money in their possession, but they keep most of it with the Adventurers Guild.

But equipment is more expensive than possession.

Consumables like shields are sturdy, but weapons are expensive.

Fighting with magic and magic, they use special machined weapons, and the house will be built with just one stroke.

"... Claire, what about the treatment?"

"Let's do it. But this poison... is troublesome..."

The poison seems to have been applied to the bottle.

The arrow on his back is pulled out, but the man with Claire is sweating and breathing roughly.

None of the members here suspected Claire of being a healing wizard, but the intrusion of complex poisons made healing difficult - time consuming.

That's why.

The enemy surrounds the area, all of them with bows and arrows.

If I hit one bottle per person, it's over.

"... a raid from midday. Second-hand talk.They're the "noon saucers."

When a man with a kiteshield asks,

"Correct"

The conductor said as soon as he went up the slope.

However, I wonder if I can correct what I mean by "second-guessing".We're just trying to figure out how to make sure it's done and we're just making sure it's done.... "

"I knew you were Gordon's man."

The conductor killed his voice and laughed.

"... that's right. What are you going to do if you can't do that?What we're doing is hunting. "

"Let's hunt....!"

"Yes, like the wise man of the woods, hunting you with wisdom - let's make time for it."

"Chi"

I wanted to buy Claire some time until she recovered, but she was aware of it.

They still don't know what the poison looks like.

It could be an unknown poison to Claire - then we need to take it to the city and cure it, not here.

Everybody, stand by.

Whether the Conductor also served as the command tower or not, when she raised her arms, the bow and arrow stood at the same time.

Shoot me.

Waving his arms down —— the moment two men with kite shields unfolding forward and backward shouted at the same time.

"Gooooooooooooo"

"Gooooooooooooo"

It's an intimidation that wraps magic around your vocal cords.

Even a physical shock wave can hit about 70% of "noon shooters" and make them gaze and drive them crazy.

"Knock it off!"

My friends were already aware of the intimidation and expected it to be used on the spot, so they responded quickly.Crouching down and blocking their ears, they all stood up and confronted arrows fired from the left and right without fear of intimidation.

Play with a shield and chop with a sword.

"This is intact!"

Me too!

They cut through the first shot.

"... i, kh..."

Two intimidated men destroy their vocal cords with it, and they can't stop talking.Remove the potion bottle from the tool bag and put it in your mouth immediately, but the next arrow is fired before you drink it all up.

To protect Claire, the two of you with the kite shield focused on their defenses.

"Spread out!"

The remaining six were turning to attack.

A Rank B adventurer, to say the least.Each person is quite capable and climbs the slope.

"- Oh my God, that big voice! I didn't hear that!"

The conductor screams angrily.

Claire first.

Next, half, at least two or three of them were going to be poisoned, but none of them had achieved their purpose.

"Uh-oh!"

Members of "Meteor Claire" who slash and drop arrows flying in front of their eyes and perform manly tricks.

The irritated conductor spread his arms and then crossed them to make an "x".

"You made a mistake with us. I'm Mr..."

Even the slopes of the scaffolding rose with great momentum, and the distance to the conductor was already about five meters.

But —— the next step didn't feel anything.

What was there was a pitfall.

The balance breaks down because of the foot that stepped in, but I managed to follow one hand.

Three arrows flew in front of it.

Shit!

Even so, the sword fell.

Is it the Rank B Adventurer who has such an arm - the conductor's spine got cold.

However, the marvel was "within expectation" of the guide.

"--Ngh!?"

The arrow that stabbed him in the thigh trying to get out of the pit —— it was shot from behind.

A bowl-shaped arrow fired from the opposite side.

An arrow that would stab a fellow one step in the wrong direction, actually landing a bullet away from him or stabbing a member of the "noon cage".

Arrows that were ready to fight each other —— the "x" earlier was a sign to shoot each other.

No matter how many members of "Meteor Claire" they are, they will be hit if they are shot from the front and back.

"... we're outnumbered.Incidentally, there are antidotes. "

The conductor is laughing thinly--blurred vision looking up at her.

"Shit... sauce..."

"If you surrender now and give me your gear, I promise I won't scratch Claire you care about?"

In the same way, three of his allies were hit by arrows, and about five members of the "noon cage" were also hit.

Very powerful poison.

Even if they use antidotes, the members of the "noon cloud" do not wake up by spraying bubbles.

The members of "Meteor Claire", whose physical abilities were slightly out of control, were somehow more conscious - though they were about to fall out of their minds.

"Ah... I knew you had a good weapon."

The conductor smiles at the sword, shield, armor and other equipment placed in front of him.

"Meteor Claire" surrendered and gave up his weapon.

Now, five lightly dressed men, mainly Claire, are looking at the conductor with anger and indignation.

The antidote just given is working, but it just seems to slow down the progression of the poison, with four men sitting down exhaling bitterly.Claire continues to cast healing magic on them.

"Please be very careful... it will definitely heal..."

Five people bite their teeth into Claire's crying voice.

The Conductor, on the other hand, distanced himself from the "Meteor Claires" as he transported the equipment - there were around 30 people holding bows and arrows.

"Hey, wait a minute... I don't suppose you're going to throw me out like this?If we don't have food, we can go down the mountain. "

"Food?"

The conductor burst out laughing.

"You don't have to do this because we're all gonna die here."

"Shit! You didn't want to keep your promise from the start!?"

"What promise... did you believe?You were fooled by me from the beginning?I don't know how to be an adventurer's rank B, even if you're crazy. "

The conductor said that the members of the "noon clock" laughed.

"Oh, my God! They're attacking us, but we need to compromise."

I just said I didn't want to scratch the gear.

"Hah, now that we can name rank B, we'd be rank A a long time ago."

He was deceived from start to finish.

The enemy was carefully prepared to wait for them to arrive here.

It looks like a spider, not a pigeon.

(Because I was rank B... I was so proud of myself...!!)

"Meteor Claire" members grind their teeth.

Their biggest weakness is Claire.In desperate circumstances, Claire shook her heart when she told me that she would help.

At that time, if we were ready to destroy them, we would have killed half of them —— much better, even with the same total destruction.

"Well, let's get this over with. Everybody stand by..."

At that moment, the biggest man - the one who handed over the kiteshield - screamed.

"Grace...!"

My throat hasn't healed yet.

But that's all I got.

The people who had been adventuring for so long responded to it.

When the big man was covered by Claire, the four men who stood

"Uoooooo!!"

Run out.

Even with bare hands, even if the poison arrow pierces itself, even if it dies.

You're not an adventurer unless you fight here.

The last cowardice moves they--

"― Light up the faint and thin path in the everlasting light.

At that time, they heard a voice.

It's a bowl-shaped top.

Even though there are people who are likely to notice, and even more magic —— especially if we're going to use magic -- none of the people here noticed.

In addition, the person was behind the conductors.

Atonement Flame of Redemption

Put a hood on your eyes and a silver mask on your face.

The voice belonged to the girl.

It was a white flame that was hard to see in the middle of the day.

But the intense lights —— the light as if another sun had appeared -- surprised everyone and turned towards you.

The flames swallowed the "midday clouds".

"Ah, ahhhhhhhhhh!?"

"Gyaaaaaaa!!"

"Ah, ahh, ahh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

They realize that they were drank by the flames.

"Hey, hey, it's not hot! It's not hot!"

"What is this!?"

"Don't be ridiculous!Shoot the wizard! "

In the words of the guide, the faces of the "noon bow" turn towards you.

Oraah!

/(adv-to, adv-to) (on-mim) bluffing/bluffing/bluffing/

A member of "Meteor Claire" broke in and hit him, and several people blew up.

"Calm down! The numbers are overwhelming--"

The conductor said so, and now he heard voices from another direction.

"--- 'O our God who is in heaven, judge in his wisdom.The light emitted from the right hand sees the truth, blesses the holy, and judgments the wicked. "

It was tight.

It appeared from behind Claire-the same silver mask with the hood on.

She's taller than the girl.

But the magic amount —— the light that makes you feel blue and pure -- rises like phosphorescent light.

Looks like the Hood girl is burning up at a very high temperature.

"Ah, ah, ah...."

The conductor saw several golden rings coming down from heaven.

It's a huge circle.

They descend in the midday clouds.

"Halo Tenjitsu Angel Judgment"

A masked girl stretches out a blue light from her hand.

They will be sucked one by one into the breasts of all those who were there.

There was nothing like avoiding it.

When I realized it, the light was emitted —— I thought, instantly, I could see the conductor.

"Ahhhh..."

Speaking out loudly, it's easy to say that the pain that runs all over your body —— severe pain.

More painful than burning in flames, the conductor fainted.



Hikaru noticed the anomaly because he heard a roar howling at the mountain.

The voice of magical intimidation was quite extensive, and it also had the role of some sort of "SOS", that people who listened could understand the anomaly.

I was wondering if I should go, but I was not wrong in the direction of travel, and I thought that I would be able to grasp the situation by checking from afar with "magic detection", just in case.

I wondered if the Adventurer was fighting Wyburn... but it was actually completely different.

"I didn't know you were in a collision with Meteor Claire and Midday Claire... okay, that's all."

To avoid trouble, Hikaru, who became a silver figure (silver face), took control of the "noon clouds" he was trying to escape with his equipment and brought in his weapon.

Heavy armor and kite shields were left behind, so the big man who asked for the location hurried to get them.

What about the treatment?

"Ha, yes, it's over..."

"Wow! Onee-sama, what kind of magic did you use!? And the magic that defeated the villains just now...!Amazing, Claire, I've become a fan of oneechan!! "

Claire, who had her eyes marked with heart, grabbed Paula's clothes and wouldn't let go.

Poisoned members of "Meteor Claire" were cured by Pola's quick recovery magic.It is troublesome to investigate the effects of the finest poison, so I managed with the magic of detoxification with the power technique of "Recovery Magic" 8 and "Magic Amount" 12.

If you don't know the state of the poison, the magic efficiency of detoxification will only be poor, and if you put in the unusual magic, you can manage it.

"Kh, shit... our Claire is a pointy wizard...!"

"But between the girls... they're ants"

"It's better than being taken by a man!"

The men at the party are kind of lamenting.

"Ah... I'm going now, but can I take care of the" noon clouds "?"

I'm glad I was able to help, but I don't want to waste my time here.

"No, no! Please let me thank you for something.I'm sure this onee-sama is very expensive.Traveling with a servant like you behind closed doors..... "

"Servant....."

Hikaru pointed at himself, but Ravia slapped him on the shoulder from the side.

"Servant... well, that's fine.Honestly, I'm in a hurry, and I don't care about the bandits.Don't kill him, turn him over to the guards, do whatever you want. "

"... please bear with shame. Will you stay with me for a while?"

Then another man lowered his head to Hikaru.

"It will take us a little longer to get back in shape.In the meantime, if it's a flame goat, it'll be worse if Wyburn comes. "

"Ah... I see. All right, all right.I just don't like each other. I'll keep an eye on the surroundings, so get back on your feet as soon as you can. "

"Thank you."

The man once again lowered his head as if he were deeply grateful.

Then for an hour, Hikaru was near them.

The wind blowing was cold and dry, but it was about that much, and it was on the contrary hot because of the sunshine.

In the meantime, they didn't wake up at noon.Having been subjected to the "Halo Tenjin", which shocks them according to the sins they committed, they are completely unconscious even if they are not dead.I wonder if he's been guilty enough.

Even if the beast eats you like this, you deserve it, so it is now decided to prioritize safety and "Meteor Claire" will go down the mountain.Gordon, report what happened.

Throughout the break, Claire, who had been sticking to Paula - she seemed to be the type of person who could use healing magic more than herself - cried "Please let me offer ~ ~" to the end, but she pulled over to the member and went down for a moment.

Temporarily, it seems that they will try to "search for positions" again.

"Adventurers try again and again.And we're jewel hunters. "

And the big guy at Kiteshield said,His throat has already been treated by Paula.

(... there are many adventurers)

Hikaru looks sideways and looks at the "noon sails" that remain tied and rolled by ropes.

This is outrageous, the one who takes it from others.

Adventurers are challenging - that's right.

Anyone who seeks jewelry or metal.

Those who fight monsters.

Who aspires to the deepest part of the dungeon.

Finder of rare herbs.

"What kind of adventurers are we?"

Leaving the scene in a bowl, Ravia said.

"I thought the same thing..."Meteor Claire" seems to specialize as a jewel hunter.We don't have a goal.... "

"I want to read more books!"

Well then, Ravia is a book hunter.

"No, there's nothing like that."

"No, Ravia, I'm here, Bookhunter."

"Eh!? Is that so!?"

"Yes, I'm a rare book adventurer, I'm quite familiar with it... it might be perfect for Ravia."

"Ooh...."

With the unexpected knowledge, Ravia's cheeks are flushing.

Hikaru and Paula smiled knowing they were happy.

(I wonder if I'm looking for something... for now)

You said you were looking for a dream and you were looking for yourself.

"It's like a moratorium....."

"What, Hikaru? Moratorium?"

"Oh, no, it's nothing —— I'm back on the road."

On the map, it can be seen that we have finally returned to the path we were supposed to follow.

"Almost there. We should be there by today, so let's do our best."

Ooh.

Yes.

Oddly enough, the location brought in by the guide of the "Daylight Sage" was quite close to the settlement site of Posi.

But before "Meteor Claire" could start climbing again, it would have all the cherries on it - Hikaru was sure.
