At the Home Center...
When Nishino and Roppo reached the entrance, the situation was already unfavourable.
The students and the evacuees are on the defensive side against several orcs.
"Guys, are you okay?!?"
"To, Nishino!" "They're strong! Not us, but we can't deal with it...!" "What am I supposed to do?" "Damn it! You're gonna die in here." "Oh, come on, you monsters! This! This oh-oh!
Everyone was relieved that the two of them had come, but their voices could not afford it.
(This is... unsavory...)
As far as I can see from here, there are more than ten orcs.
And the whole thing is strong.
Far more than the goblins and Lesser Wolf we fought yesterday.
(My classmates aren't the ones who can handle the old men who have been evacuated yet... damn, I haven't even gotten to the minimum level yet)
In fact, some of the evacuees had already abandoned their weapons and fled to the back of the sales floor to tremble.
In the streak since yesterday, I guess I've already broken my heart.
(Damn... useless together. Usually you complain in vain, it doesn't do you any good)
More than this, the refugees who fled in the back shouldn't count toward battle power.
or so, this situation is not sweet enough that the people who are here right now alone can manage it.
Most importantly, what bothers me most is that backward refrained red copper oak.
(... obviously not on the same level as the others. That's who Shibata was talking about...)
The red copper oak, now showing no signs of movement, is looking away at itself.
Cold sweat flowed down Nishino's cheek.
Mazui, 'It's over' when I moved, his instincts were complaining.
"... Rokka"
"What?"
Nishino asks Roppo, who sits next to him.
"That red copper oak, can they do it?
"Hmm..."
Rokka replies carelessly, but looks forward to the appearance of an oak that refrains from rearward.
Just a few seconds.
And exhaled heavily.
"... sorry, Nissy. I can't do this, I'm dying."
An unusual tone of tension.
But above all, it was eloquently telling the story of the current situation, and my difference in power.
"Even if we 'fanaticize' to the max, can't we?
"Yeah, I can't. I can't win."
"Right..."
If Rokka is so sure, there is no chance we can beat ourselves.
Then there's only one hitter.
Nishino was ready and shouted.
"Guys! It's Op 4! Do something, you'll survive!
"What!?" "Liar, number four...?" "Are you serious..."
"Oh, hey! Wait, I didn't hear that number, did I?
"Wow, me too! What kind of operation is that?" "Do you have any hands?
Listening to Nishino's voice, the reaction split nicely.
i.e. students and refugees.
Nishino had divided the operation into a large number of messes at 1-4.
And number four is one of the worst assumptions in him.
That is - "Running away with the evacuees".
Regardless, only the students who were acting with him are listening to this operation.
The refugees have not been informed.
The students knew what it meant and slightly clouded their faces.
The refugees, I don't know what that means, had little hope that there might be some kind of hand.
"We're going into the store little by little while we maintain our defense! We'll run the operation as soon as the orcs get inside the store! Back door and window! Nice!"
"Rikai"
Rokka nodded without hesitation. The other students toured slightly.
"You guys! Keep it up, you're gonna die! You'll never survive this! Right!"
"" "... ugh!
Hearing Nishino's desperate cry, the students also decided to be ready.
The refugees don't know what that means, they just follow it honestly.
(... yes, you can't die. In this place, absolutely...!
The operation of their death begins.
An operation to survive, at the expense of others.
Meanwhile, around that time...
You have more 'unpleasant feelings'......
We were traveling around the city carefully so we wouldn't run into a bunch of Shadow Wolves and a bunch of orcs.
If you're in the Goblin class, it's still impossible at this level to deal with Oak or Shadow Wolf class monsters in a flock.
Besides, the oak herd has that high oak.
I was lucky to be missed then, but I don't think I'll have that luck next time.
You can never encounter it.
"Locally, it feels like you're just caught in two swarms..."
Besides, both monsters have a good nose.
It sucks.
How can I cut through well......?
Thinking, looking up at the sky, it was more and more cloudy.
Water droplets fall on my nose.
"... it's raining again..."
It's been raining here lately.
I want to earn as much distance as I can before I get out in earnest.
In the meantime, do you want to move in a direction that doesn't feel 'unpleasant'?
Let's make sure the battle is at a minimum.
"... hmm?
Looking up, I saw black smoke rising from far away.
A fire?
Because of the size of the smoke, it's quite large.
That's definitely where the home center is.
It is also the direction where the herd of oaks headed.
Could it be...
I was a little concerned and decided to send an email to Mr. Ichinose.
From the high-rise apartment where she is, you'll know where to fire.
Open the email screen.
There was one case of 'unread'.
Looking at the reception time, it looks like they sent it earlier.
When I opened it, it was as follows.
'Looks like there was a fire at the home center. There was a herd of orcs on their way, and I think it's likely they got into battle with the people evacuating to the home center. The Orcs seem to be actively hunting humans, and we have to be careful. Oh, is that so and the party thing still inconclusive? Nice to meet you'
Information, early!
I sent you what I was going to ask you, you human.
And then there's the insignificant party thing, hurry up.
You don't brace, this guy......
But right......
Is that smoke coming from the home center after all?
That also fights the orc herd.
All I can say is that you're sad.
"I hope you get away well..."
Well, I can't afford to be worried about someone else either.
I move on again, avoiding the direction of 'unpleasant feeling'.
Since the rain had gotten worse along the way, Aka had me mock 'Kappa'.
"... hmm?
Moving in the rain, there was a reaction to 'Sovereignty'.
It's not a monster, it's a sign of a person.
The number is two.
Is it... a nearby park?
It's unusual for someone to be walking outside, not someone in a cage.
I was just a little interested, and I turned to someone who had an 'enemy' reaction.
And as I approached, I felt uncomfortable.
Weird......
These people, from where the 'Sovereign' reacted, haven't moved a bit.
What's this all about?
Reach where the reaction occurred.
It's a small park with only blanco and benches.
They were hidden in the slightest bushes in the corner.
"That..."
Hiding in the shadow of the building, I peek at how things are going.
It was a familiar face.
Student.
One, Nishino-kun.
The other is a high school girl with her hair together in a side tail.
What was his name... Ri... what was it?
Well, no.
Anyway.
The problem is the condition of the two of us.
"... you're worn out"
The two appearances were so lame that I could tell even if they were apart.
Especially if you are a high school girl, you are bleeding quite a bit.
Pretty bad.
Even if it doesn't, has it been in an oak raid and you've been running away?
Then Nishino turned this way.
"... there, is anyone there?
