The time is now 10: 00 am.

I was on my way to the underground with you Nishino to crusade the Queen Ant Alpa.

A total of twenty-eight people will take part in the crusade.

Almost all the forces in City Hall.

Divide it into three groups and go underground from a separate direction.

My group is a group of students, mainly Nishino, all ten of them.

Divide and act to disperse Golem's attack targets.

Run, run, run, it's easier to move than it is for everyone to act together, and it increases survival.

- That's pre-construction.

(The real deal is probably to avoid pulling each other's legs...)

Especially my former colleagues and your group Nishino had a blatant backlash.

You can't expect a decent collaboration.

Then it is the mayor's decision that it is more efficient to act separately from the beginning.

(It's amazing in a way that we don't have all the footprints under these circumstances...)

Well, it's easy for me not to act with them.

It's bad for Nijo and Shimizu Chiefs, but I really don't like him.

... I was watching Mr. Itinose with those eyes, even though he was in my disguise.... angry wow.

Whoa, why don't you. My thoughts have slipped away.

We have to concentrate.

That's why we're currently on the move toward the underground.

Would it be enough if things went smoothly?

Everyone has a small mouth count because they are nervous.

Nishino, who walks right next door, has a rugged look.

Are you nervous?

... No, this is the look on your face when you're thinking about something.

"Nissy, what's going on? Did you just make a difficult face?

Rokka seemed concerned too.

Ask Nishino a question with a peek from the bottom.

Valley and pink underwear with a good view. It is a natural, bruised Roppo.

"heh... no, I was thinking about that monster that's being crusaded"

Nishino answers the question as you move away. [M]

No heart or slightly red cheeks.... Surprisingly pure.

"That's... queen ants and golems, right? What's wrong with that?

"Actually, I've been talking to the mayor for a moment before I head here. I was just wondering. So..."

Before Nishino continued, I raised my hand.

"There was a reaction to 'Sovereignty'"

Everyone changes their expression to that word.

Nishino and Rokuka-chan also stopped the conversation and entered a state of battle.

"Distance eighty, ants, fifty, usually species thirteen, no superior individual, and... two goblins"

I'll pass on the information.

"... Ants and goblins fighting?

"No, it's not like that..."

Feels like the ants are flocking to the two goblins.

Could this be...

"... All right, me, Roppo, Ichinose precedes you. Follow us a little bit."

Nishino, when you whisper and give him quick instructions, takes me and Rokuka-chan to someone who has had a reaction.

Dive into the wall and see what's going on.

"Huh...!?"

Nishino changes his face to the sight.

"Gi...... gi......"

"... gega... ah..."

There were two dying goblins there.

And the ants flock to it, moving their gutters and their mouths.

Apparently 'eating'.

"You haven't noticed anything here."

"Wait a minute. That... No way, are you eating?

"Ugh..."

Nishino and Rokuka turn their expressions blue.

"If you die, the monster will leave the demon stone and disappear. That's why they're keeping you alive."

The part detached from the flesh within the living remains intact.

I guess the blood of the monster on the washing machine.

I guess what the ants do is build monsters alive, so to speak.

"... you can always be flat."

"Because I'm used to it. And because of their resistance skills."

Terribly gross sight.

If you don't have resistance skills, you'll throw up.

"I haven't noticed anything over here yet.... if you're after it, it's now."

"Oh, yeah, you are"

Restore your mind, Nishino, and you will give instructions to everyone.

"... Everybody, let's go!

"" "" Got it!

In an undisturbed move, the students - an old man within - rush out simultaneously.

I'll put a gun in my hand, too.

I'm going to fight in sniping style while I'm in Mr. Ichinose's position.

I have received the bullet from Mr. Itinose beforehand, so it is not a problem.

"... (sighs)!

Aka also shivers in a temper of 'good luck'.

"Giggy!?"

Looks like the ants who were eating finally noticed this one.

But it's too late.

"Shoot!"

Nishino, with your signal, they set up a magnum blaster in their hand.

Bushuuuuu! Tons of smoke thrown up along with the blasting sound of

"Giggy, giggy, giggy!?"

"Kicky...... giddy......"

"Gishhhhhhhhh..."

The smoked ants scream.

You Nishino won't miss that gap.

"Uri ah!

"Ugh!

First, Rokuka, and Goshogawara cut in, and the other students followed suit.

Rokka cleverly tries to sew a gap in her joints and cleaves the ants together.

Mr. Goshokawahara crushes with Marutai at his disposal.... maruta awesome.

The other students turn to the ants with each weapon.

Then Nishino gives the appropriate instructions in the rear, and reinforces the collaboration and status from time to time by "Leadership" and "Combat Support".

(... stronger than expected, this team)

Commander Nishino, Rokka-chan and Marutai's Goshokawara, who are the focus of the attack, and Shibata, who has medical skills. The other students are highly skilled and skilled.

Excellent teamwork more than anything else.

Seems like you can take a closer look at how much experience they've gained fighting monsters over the last seven days.

More than ten ants in the evidence instantly diminish their numbers.

(... wait a minute. This isn't my turn, is it?

Hurry up and put the gun back on, but Rokuka had already just finished the last piece of shit.

"... (sighs)!/(adv, adv-to) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) (

It's time to go. and Aka trembles.

... Sorry, Aka. I'm sorry that you're in the mood, but apparently it's not your turn this time.

The first battle was over, roughly a shivering acorn.

"See if there are any other monsters! If you're not there, we'll resume moving!

We retrieved the Demon Stone and started moving again.

Oh, the goblins that were made into meals, Shibata, you were stabbing a proper stop.

"If you say so -"

After the battle, I spoke to Nishino in anticipation of the match.

"Nishino, is that what you were about to say?

"Earlier......?

"It's me. What about queen ants and golems..."

"Oh, you know what?"

Nishino nodded,

"No, I was just wondering. I wonder why" Crusade for Two Designated Monsters "was added to the conditions for achieving skills this time..."

"Oh, that certainly bothered me, too"

According to the mayor, the conditions to improve your 'town building' skills are:

When LV2, "Secure 10 Personnel, Demon Stone x 10"

When LV3, "Secure 50 personnel, Demon Stone x 100"

It seems it was.

This time, in addition to that, the crusade of two named monsters.

Obviously the difficulty is jumping.

"Conditions of achievement are so tough."

"Right."

Rokka walking next door also joins the conversation.

"Oh. But can't you think of this the other way around? I don't think the conditions have gotten tough. I guess I had to be tough."

"To?"

Rokka puts her neck up.

"I asked the mayor a question before I left here. What happened to the monsters that were in the realm until then when spreading the safety zone in" Town Building "? What?"

"What happened?

"They're forcing me out. Until then, the monsters who were in the realm were forcibly evicted as soon as they expanded their safety zone to a critical point on the border. I'm pretty sure this is because they asked City Hall officials to cooperate and actually observe the moment. And the evicted monsters tried to get inside again, but they couldn't get inside so they wouldn't be held back by the invisible walls."

Heh, is that how it works?

Maybe it's like a 'kingdom' that forces monsters out and prevents them from coming in.

"That's where I thought. Perhaps the two monsters designated for this crusade were enemies who had to be defeated in expanding their safety zone with" Town Building. "

Nishino, to your words, Rokuka-chan said again:? 'float.

"Uh, that 's-"

"I mean, that these two are 'exceptional' beings who can't be forced to move out of this neighborhood for any reason?

That's why he was listed as a crusader.

Nishino snorted when I answered that in the form of taking over Rokuka's words.

"Think about it. Think about it. Think about it. For example, queen ants spend their whole lives in a nest if they build a nest. If that is a 'Queen Ant Characteristic' that cannot be dispelled even with the effect of a skill, I can also be convinced that Queen Ants has been chosen as a designated target. It's not about ants, it's about queen ants."

"I see..."

Applying normal ant reasoning to a monster may be nonsense, but it does make sense.

"More importantly, I was uncomfortable at the point where we were crusading so many ants that they wouldn't change their nest holes. At least if I were you, I'd start moving as soon as the enemy finds me. So no doubt Queen Ants can't move from that place... no, it's a monster that can't move. You can think of that."

"Sure, it's possible..."

"Hmm, I don't know."

Push-hwa's head's already overheated, apparently.

"So what about the Golem one? Unlike ants, I think you're free to move around.

Shibata, who walks behind you instead, joins the conversation.

"What are you talking about, Shibata? This one will be easier to understand. Remember his name again."

"Huh?... uh, Guardian Golem... you sound like a titan"

"That's right. If it's Ono, maybe it'll be a pin soon? He was good at this game. Guardian -" Guardian "if you translate it."

Oh, and Shibata, you raise your voice.

I'm pinned, too.

"Did you notice that? Perhaps Titan is protecting something in this Crusade Zone." Guardian, "so as long as there's something to protect, he can't move out of this area. I can't even predict what I'm protecting on a boulder."

"Hey, Cheng Cheng...... Shh, wow, it's Nishino-san!

"It's no big deal. Besides, it doesn't change what you have to fight for when you know why."

You're absolutely right.

Which way, if we don't defeat these two, City Hall has no future.

"... well, for future reference"

"Huh? What is it, Nishino?

"No, it's nothing."

Pompous and leaky Nishino your grunt.

I was listening to it clearly.

... Maybe Nishino thinks the same thing about me.

Acquisition of a skill called 'Town Building'. Establishment of our own safety zone.

If that's the case, Nishino is still a dependable person.

Let's just ask later.

"... well, let's get this far in vain. It's time for the enemy's headquarters to be close."

"Yeah, that's right"

I see the mall.

More and more signs of monsters captured by "Sovereign Enemy".

- They're coming.

Each one sets up a weapon.

At the same time, the katakata and the ground shake and the cracks run.

"" "" Kiwi!

Once again, a large number of ants appeared before us.

"Apparently, they've been waiting for us."

"Looks like it."

"Hey."

By now, city hall teams and fresh water chiefs would have made their own arrangements.

"Come on, it's the real deal from here. Everybody, don't get distracted!

"" "" Ooh!!

With your decree Nishino, the students rush.

I have to come forward so that I don't miss this time, too.

The moment I tried to move to a point where I could snipe quickly...

"... hmm?

I felt 'bad signs'.

What is it, this?

... hostility? No. Is this' malice '?

Second, turn in the direction in which you feel the signs.

That's definitely where the fresh water chiefs are.

... Why not? I had a strange heartbeat.
