"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Ivan woke up because it was noisy outside. I was sober until just about 2 hours ago, so my head is still flustered —— and I still had to wake up.

Because the noise outside was a collision of swords and swords.

"Ivan! We're enemies!

It was the Jalazak warrior that Alexei had dropped by when the door opened and yelled in. He should have been drinking again until just now, but his face is red but he's already armed.

"Ugh, su, sorry, I'll go"

"You can take the sword, but don't use it —— you can't get drunk. Tie down your fallen enemies or help your people!

"Yes, sir"

The backup warrior already ran down the hallway. Ivan tries to get up and the sheet snaps onto his leg and falls off the bed.

"When... Ah"

It was Ivan holding his face down, but his own bag on the wall caught my eye. One thin stick sticking out of it --.

"Oh, yeah. I have to call Hikaru."

If there was an enemy attack at night, and it was handed to me by Hikaru. It has a thin stick at the end of it like a bug sanagi. There was more (...) out of the sanagi than the little one.

"Er, definitely vases, vases..."

I stick the stick with the sanagi on top of the vase that was placed on the table - carrappo inside.

When I open the window, a freezing wind pours in and I can clearly hear the call for battle.

If I don't join sooner myself -- what have you been drinking and I'm drunk?

Such regret strikes me, but I shook my neck sideways for a long time.

"Now I need to do what I have to do."

On the candlestick that was placed on the table was a tiny candle. There is still fire in the candle.

"Erm... he said I should burn this guy"

Ivan stopped by the window with a candlestick and a vase. And bring the fire closer than this--

Shh, more sparks than yako sounded. As Ivan opened his eyes, the spark burned out more than this,

"Wow!?"

Sanagi exploded —— I thought it was. But it's actually a little different.

Piwi!!

Making a tall sound, Sanagi flew high and high through the night sky with his stick.

That's how I made a loud "pan" noise.

It's called "rocket fireworks," but Ivan doesn't know either.

"What... what...?

Ivan, who was flattered,

"Ha, oh, I gotta go too"

I jumped out of the room in the morning.

It was Hikaru alone who slept in the bedroom. Ekaterina is staying in this house now besides Hikaru and Lavia.

Ekaterina also had the option of sleeping in the mansion she uses when she goes to school for college, but she doesn't have a servant in the winter months. I also felt comfortable letting him stay alone in the large mansion.

The room was inadvertently brightened. The cause of light is magic props. It is what lights the light in response to the explosion of rocket fireworks, and these were made for me by Katie.

No matter how close Hikaru's room is to the college, it doesn't sound like a rocket fireworks explosion. But when it explodes, it's starting to react to magic —— something like radio waves —— and this magic tool that pairs up reacts.

They were conducting research on the "radio" discovered by Hikaru at the ruins of Tubra when he taught Katie the approximation. Finally, Katie remembered and heard about the rocket fireworks that were in Tubra's ruins exhumation catalogue.

That's about the only place I can devise and make it. Something like a good selection of magicians in Kotobi.

"--Are you here?"

Hikaru, coming down from bed, quickly dresses up and flaunts himself on his hips.

Put your sleeves through your jacket and you can go now.

"Hikaru"

When I went out into the living room, there was Lavia and Ekaterina in their pajamas. I can only see it in the thin light of the demon guide lamp, but Ekaterina seems to have a surprising chest.

"Did I wake you up? I'm coming."

"Yeah. We're --"

Hikaru alone is easier given his mobility, and what Lavia specializes in is versus a multitude of big magic. There won't be many places where she can be active this time.

"I'm fine with sleeping, though."

"Mmm."

"Hey, hey. I can't take that easy."

"Really? Then you can stay awake —— I'll be there in a hurry."

"Go away"

"Hmm... be careful"

It was sent to Lavia and it didn't feel convincing but Ekaterina said the same.

Much longer, both Lavia and Hikaru were used to pressing situations, but I guess Ekaterina is not so much.

As I went down the stairs and went outside, the moon lit up beneath my feet. Run on snow. Hikaru's "instantaneous power" is now 5, so seriously dashing through the snow is going to make it hard to run the other way.

Still, the college is at the end of the eye and nose.

Hikaru arrived less than 10 minutes after the demon props reacted --.

Hikaru unwittingly slackened his steps just before the lodging building.

Jalazak warriors surround the raiders. But they also have small wounds all over the place, a few seriously wounded, gathered in the corner. It's Ivan I'm caring for.

Fewer than 10 raiders are surrounded.

There are about 20 warriors surrounded and twice as many raiders.

But —— they couldn't keep their weapons up and pack their distance.

The raiders were red.

He bled from all over his body, some of them lost arms, and it was bright red.

But I didn't fall down as one. I felt the will to fight until the end of the period.

Don't be alarmed.

When Mikhail, with his sword, says, "Ooh," the warriors respond.

Looks fine if I leave it to them though --.

(-- Is this all the raiders?

Hikaru's "intuition" worked. There is no Claude here. He should be in Lecture C building with Luca.

What if —— what if an elite who isn't here is approaching Claude?

("Bite a cramped cat")

Claude would never have fought with someone who was ready to throw his life away.

Even the Jalazak warriors, who are advantageous in number, cannot be defeated at once. The person so prepared is tough.

I approached Ivan to solve the "secret".

"Ivan."

"!? hi, hikaru!? where were you now!?"

"Where are the rest of Jalazak's warriors? Is this Claude's place?

"Well, that 's--"

Explain as Ivan clouds his words.

Jalazak had 50 backups, though -- about 20 said they headed for the monster crusade at the request of the Adventurer Guild.

"You're an idiot...!

There is so much man-made about monsters gushing at this time. If the warriors are going to come back pretending to be heading for the crusade too. Still, Tachi is bad because he's serious about the crusade.

"That means"

Hikaru's spine got cold.

Now Claude is protecting Luca by herself --.

Claude's sword flew the blue-haired man's sword. The blue-haired man —— not that Larks-Roadgrad-Ludansha wasn't ready enough. There was so much difference in strength from Claude.

(WHY!? Never heard of Claude-Zahad Kirihar being such an armed swordsman!?)

Larks can't hide his upset.

"-- you know the difference in strength, right? If you're gonna kill me, it's not enough for you at all."

"Knock."

Claude's words sounded like plenty of room, but not so much room. There are three people Claude is dealing with. If you try to stab Larks with a todome, the other two will attack you.

A little troublesome, the man was a short bowman.

(... For Claude, win if you buy time. So you don't have to kill them...)

It was humiliating. Losing to "Jalazak the Wu" was within the assumption, but I didn't expect to lose to the Kirihar man.

Behind Hikaru's hunch, Claude managed to cling alone.

But...

"-- ahh."

I heard a blatant voice.

"Hey Captain Larks. Just kill one Claude. It is true that Claude was unexpectedly strong, but wasn't Captain Larks strong there?

A little short-bower —— Roy, all of a sudden, said that.

Larks is poked into the void by words out of place. Not the usual Roy. He wasn't the one who stuck around Larks like a puppy and spoke of respect.

It's abnormal —— I thought. If you ask me what the anomaly is, I can't say it's clear.

But the other guy, Joseph, who's been active as Larks' right arm, doesn't realize this anomaly.

"You idiot! Don't talk extra!

I grabbed Roy's shoulder.

"We've got enemies in front of us now —— ah?

Roy stabbed something in Joseph's arm. Joseph releases his hand haphazardly, but his face is distorted by pain.

"What the fuck!?"

Heh, what Roy had was —— an injection.

injection, that said, going at the level of blacksmithing is as large as a needle used in sewing.

In the evidence, there is blood dripping from Joseph's arm.

"If you take the time, you lose -- wife, when should we?

The mouth was laughing, but the eyes, they weren't laughing.

The next moment, Joseph shouted.
