The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker

a defensive line about to collapse

A joint three-country team of adventurers, organized to crusade monster abnormal breeding in the Un El Portan Great Forest, had already withdrawn from its early campsites.

It now has its headquarters in Borderzad, Union of Foresters, the city closest to the outer edge of the Great Forest.

"... Damn, I already lost 20% of my adventurers and said 40% left the front due to injuries..."

The man, formerly a Rank B Adventurer entrusted with the head of the headquarters, groaned in one of the Adventurer Guilds' rooms, which functions as a temporary headquarters.

The guild masters of the Borderzad Adventurers Guild and the guild officials of the countries who were acting with the Director General also look equally dark.

No longer is this monster abnormal reproduction a serious incident.

It was the Empire of Quimbrand who sent out the army as soon as possible. Though the battle against the Pawnsonian kingdom earlier sharpened and diminished its power, the troops of the peripheral uncle close to the Un el Portan Great Forest were kept warm.

The Border Bell Army is beginning to be deployed in the city near the border.

Behind this quick move, of course, is because the head of the crusade team is a person of the Quimbrand Empire.

"How's the kingdom of Pawnsonia?

"I haven't heard from you yet"

"Forestia, what's going on with the coalition forces?

"The movement is dull. Instead, it feels like it's not moving at all. Isn't there a report coming up from the Adventurer Alliance?"

In the report of the Alliance Staff, the Head of Division refers to the Alliance Master of the Border Zard. But the Alliance Master hasn't lost either.

"Until you, the guild master of the Quimbrand Empire, responded exactly as you say 'as usual' this time. What do you want me to do, run in with these bodies, and then deal with them even more?

"What are you talking about?"

"Is that an attitude that makes you the person who saved my life,"

"This..."

"Please don't!

Alliance staff enter between them.

After all, it's not a single rock with the Adventurer Guild.

As an Alliance Master at Borderzad, I have the anxiety that the Alliance of Adventurers team will pull up to the monster because they have fled to Borderzad.

Besides, the upper echelons of the Union of Foresters are now turning a blind eye to the forthcoming founding ceremony, which brings together the top seven countries. Even security is tight, and Kirihar and Ludansha in particular wake up every year.

Honestly, I'm not interested in a crusade event where adventurers just warm their nostalgia.

In fact, guild officials who reported this issue to the coalition government said they were strictly ordered to "solve it with the Adventurer's Guild".

It wouldn't be at the Founding Ceremony if Borderzad were to be a sea of fire, but the Alliance Master doesn't want that.

"Even we are speaking out to the adventurers of the Union! Didn't you save food in case of an emergency! I urge you not to impersonate this guild with your failures on the front line!

"Let me tell you something, you!

The ink kettle thrown by the General Manager hits the Alliance Master's head and the ink splashes.

"Hey, what!? I won't forgive you! I won't give you food until you rub your forehead to the ground and apologize!

"Bullshit! This one is acting as a supranational adventurer guild! What can I do for a wooden Alliance Master like you!

"Enough! Come on!

The meeting was interrupted until Alliance officials seized the two.

"Oh —— even as we do this, monsters are approaching..."

One of the guild officials said he moaned or didn't mourn?

Borderzad is close to the Un el Portan Great Forest —— a distance where the outer edge of that forest can be seen visually, meaning that the city is surrounded by earthen walls and fences, and by empty moats.

It's fun, like a fort that can also be used in the field, but it's quite large.

The city has a population of about 4,000 people who live in a land of 1 square kilometer.

Inside the city, small-scale but also farming and livestock production, the houses inhabited by humans were mostly collective.

Still, people continue to live here because of the grace of the Great Forest, as well as the city that leads to the Empire of Quimbrand, the Kingdom of Pawnsonia.

"Seriously, are there so many monsters out there?

"I don't know. I'm not exaggerating. I don't just want to escape responsibility for crusade failure."

"But the rank C adventurer in the United States was also wounded."

The dirt walls surrounding the city are thick enough to allow humans to walk side by side on top of it.

It is the adventurers who are hitting the sentry. There are few soldiers in this city who belong to the military for the reason that it stimulates other countries. Well, there are a lot of adventurers for the Great Forest.

"Oh, I wish I had a higher rank, too. I spent a lot of money on this crusade."

"You idiot. Rank F isn't prestigious."

"But from what I've heard, Pawnsonia has no rank limit, and Quinn Brand can join from rank F."

"Like what? Then what's wrong with crusade failure? So all the weak adventurers have come together."

That's when I was walking over a dirt wall talking about that.

"Hmm?"

"What's up?"

"That —— the Great Forest, can't you see anything?

The plain stretches in the direction you pointed out. And beyond that, the green line is drawn —— that is, the outer edge of the forest.

There, the smoke is rising.

--Ahhhhhhhh.

Of the beast, I heard voices.

"Coming..."

With a faint voice, I said.

"Here they come! Seriously, the monster is here!

"Go reward him!

"Duh, where..."

"You're up to the guild, hurry up, you idiot!

"Okay!

The most dangerous day in Borderzad's history was about to begin.

"No, no! Why, how could you..."

"Hey, don't stick around! The poison is contagious!

"If this man dies, I can't live either!

I can't hear you from anywhere.

Full of blood, diarrhea, and smells of disinfectant.

The injured adventurers, unable to enter the hospital, were put to sleep on the floor of the synagogue.

Even though it's noon, it's closed and dark. They're isolated because they don't know what kind of disease or poison they're infected with.

"..."

"! I noticed!?"

Paula held the hand of her best friend lying in front of her.

My two best friends.

You make a strong statement, Pia, when you sleep at night, you're lonely and you cry.

Priscilla, who is nubbling but bow skilled is an adult-faced loser and nails a man's gaze on those big tits.

Priscilla won't wake up much longer.

Now it's Peer who woke up.

"Paula... this is..."

"Borderzad, the city of the United States. They've come this far."

"Oh well..."

Peer's point of view no longer fits. I don't even know Paula's face looking into her face.

"So it's okay now, don't worry! Because I'll cure you with healing magic!

"Hehe... Thanks, Paula's magic works..."

"Yeah!"

Paula said, but it was a lie.

Recovery magic has been around forever now. But life extension was at best, and it had been hours since I could not cure it.

Pier's left flank was scraped off.

From Forest Barbarian's thrown Marutai, it's because he covered Paula.

I'll protect Paula!

I always said it with a brain-weather face.

"Ugh, uhh, uhh"

Tears flood me.

Idiot. There's really nothing you can do to protect me with your life. Stupid. You're a crybaby. For the sake of Samishin Bo. Idiot. Idiot!

"--Gu"

Earlier, the magic broke.

Despite this, blood spills out of Paula's mouth because she keeps using magic with her energy alone.

"... Paula?

"It's okay, Pia! I'll fix it, oh, I'll give it to you!

Hurry up with your cuffs and wipe your mouth. Paula keeps chanting recovery magic.

Point your gaze at Priscilla. She won't wake up again either. Priscilla was infected with some sort of poison, but Paula's known magic of detoxification did not cure her. So healing magic is only increasing your vitality.

Still, his complexion was blue and he was no longer like a dead man. Only a faintly raised and lowered chest was a testament to life.

"Ugh... Ugh..."

"Paula......"

Pier's forehead is full of sweat and his forehead is snagging.

That was the same thing as Paula.

I get nasty sweats from all over my body. But if you stop the restorative magic, the two of you will be dead at that moment —— that's what I felt.

(God......)

God I prayed every day when I was in the village.

Thanks to this, the talent of healing magic sprouted.

(God, God, God. I don't care about my life. So at least keep Pia and Priscilla alive......)

Pray. Pray, pray, pray —— chant.

The center of my body freezes. My bones snap and complain of pain. The pain runs like stabbing a needle in the head.

"You can stop now... Paula... until you..."

Pier said in a blurred voice.

My eyes, which were just open, were closed.

I fell asleep.

—— I may never wake up again.

When I thought so, an unspoken fear struck Paula.

"No! I will never let you die......! Whatever you sacrifice...!

Paula prays to God.

(Please! I dedicate everything I have! So, so, God, show me a miracle here --)

I activated the healing magic, it was time.

"--If there was a street outside, I thought I'd heard something like that."

With a fluttering head, I look back.

"What happened to you two? Did you take a deep hand?"

"... Hikaru, Dear?

In Paula's eyes he seemed —— like a miracle sent by God.

"Dear Hikaru, Ahhhhhhhhhh!!"

"Uhh!?"

Suddenly he was hugged and Hikaru glanced at him, but he didn't have to fall.

Paula was blurry.

The clothes you're wearing are dirty, and your hair and face are terrible.

".................. Paula. You want to help both of us?

To Hikaru's inquiry, Paula releases her body haphazardly.

"Yes."

The eyes were serious in themselves —— very pure.

"Are you ready to throw away everything but your life?

"Yes."

I didn't get lost for a moment.

"I will never see these two again... or I will no longer be able to act together. Give the rest of your life to me alone. Still okay?

"Yes. I don't mind. If Hikaru has the means to help you both."

"Okay."

Hikaru closed his eyes once to decide something before opening it.

Look straight back at Paula's gaze.

"From now on, your recovery magic will be one of the top in this world. Magic is also raised to the bottom. That's how many people die to take you away. So act as discreetly as possible."

And Paula swallowed the knob.

I had no desire to doubt what Hikaru said with wonder.

"Close your eyes. The next time you open your eyes, your life will change."

Paula closed her eyes. At that moment, her life began to move in a completely different direction.
