Moving around for a while, I saw you guys Nishino.

Rokka-chan waves a noticeable hand over here.

"Is that... Nishino, not your team? How did you get here?

Fresh water chief with a surprising voice.

Well, I'm going to stay further away.

I can't help but be surprised.

"There's a kid in his crew with sensory skills. I asked you to come here rather than just wait. Yeah, we've already talked about the situation, so let's meet up first."

"What's the situation... Huh? No, wait a minute. What's this about? I have a lot to ask..."

"I'll explain that later"

"Later you..."

Almost through when it comes to fresh water chief questions.

I don't have time to explain everything.

It's not the case now, and now it's done.

All you have to do is think of a good excuse after it's all over... Nishino. Yeah, let's get it working.

"... and two articles, will you please leave me alone?

"Yes, I don't like it. 'Cause if I let you go, I feel like my senior's going away again..."

You've been grabbing my hem for a long time now, haven't you?

You're lost.

"It's okay, is it?

……

Bijo finally let go of my hand, feeling reluctantly said.

"Good luck, Mr. Kudo"

"Nishino, thank you."

Explain to everyone how good it is.

Nishinose-san (I) seems to have successfully explained why he left the premises and why I would be one of them.

He seemed to have explained it in advance, and it was so replaced.

Thank you so much, Nishino.

"Did Ichinose-san have a" placement ”?

"Yeah, no problem"

This is also a predetermined exchange to avoid confusion.

By the way, "The real Mr. Ichinose" is still waiting elsewhere.

Just in case. If the unpleasant predictions have not been met, I plan to have them rendezvous with me soon.

"Mr. Shimizu, Mr. Nijo, I've been expecting you. The circumstances are told by Mr Kudo. Thank you for your safety."

"Huh?"

What do you mean? They send a targeted gaze, but it's gorgeous through.

"I'll explain all of that later, too. More than that, let's think about what we're going to do with the operation now."

"... ok"

I'm not convinced, but I guess I understand.

Chief Shimizu didn't mention it any more.

"- That's why I'm asking you two to join our team more than just the two of you."

"You mean the operation will continue?

"Yeah, because if we call it off here, we're wasting all our sacrifices and time."

"... right. Yeah, you're right."

Simultaneous attacks from three directions have become impossible, but they are still possible if they are sanctioned by Nishino-kun and City Hall teams.

Besides, Nishino is scheduled to be joined by two of your people on the City Hall team.

In the wake of a group of Freshwater Chiefs troubles, Nishino sent the rest of the student members to the City Hall team who were quickly waiting for you at City Hall.

If they can rendezvous safely, they will be able to interact with each other via 'email', which in a sense will be easier to collaborate with than when the three teams are.

"Oh, um... are those people okay?

In response to the two questions, Nishino replies that you have no problem.

"I was putting City Hall on standby. The two have a skill structure more specific to 'escape' than 'combat'. He's also good at covert behavior... Oh, look at that."

Nishino points in a certain direction.

Two wolf smokes were rising from that direction.

"One is supposed to be on the City Hall team, and the other is supposed to be raised when our people are safely rendezvous, so it looks like you're safely on the dock."

"Finally, the City Hall team is already in possession? Much sooner than expected, huh?

"Oh, I knew they were good. We'd better hurry up and get in position."

Nishino gives quick instructions as Shibata snorts at your words.

"You both will have a lot to ask and say, but we're behind you now. Do you mind?

"... ok. I'll leave the command to you. [M] Is that all right with you?

"Wow, I don't mind either..."

"Yes, thank you for understanding"

Chief Shimizu and Article II change their faces and set up their weapons.

I guess I switched heads.

Everyone glances at each other.

"Guys! We're going to be enemies! Don't be alarmed! Absolutely survive! We're gonna win and go home!

"" "" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Nishino, everyone responds to your cry.

I knew his voice had power.

Unlike his skills, he has the charm to attract people.

I'm not worried about yelling and calling my enemies.

This is the enemy line, our position is clear to the enemy anyway.

Then it's more important to maintain high morale.

I can see the stairs to the underground.

I've already caught some frightening signs of 'enemy defense'.

And - there was one of them, obviously a different sign.

(- Be there. Definitely)

Queen Ant Alpa.

Named monster.

That means it's the same as that high oak, Rufen.

Even if the answer is no, the tension increases.

"Raise the wolf smoke."

"Ha!"

The smoke in the smoke generator rises high in the sky.

"Nissy......"

"Oh, I just got an email too. Looks like they're ready."

"Then..."

"Oh, let's go"

Sooner or later, Nishino, you breathe and...

"Go in!!!"

"" "" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." ""

We set up our weapons and break into the underground.

Immediately countless ants greeted us.

Not just before.

Breaking through the brittle walls, a large black army emerges from all directions.

"Always protect the light source! If we run out of lights, we'll be wiped out in no time!

"" "Got it!

Lighted helmet for use in construction, LED lantern hanging on chest.

There are still no problems near the stairs, but the Queen Ant is a little further away, in the darkness where the light does not shine.

They will destroy the ants as they secure the light source.

By the way, I don't have a problem with the two articles because they have 'dark vision' skills.

"Shadow" and "Oak Knife" are used to ensure that each and every one is finished.

At last, the ants who are in places that are out of sight will also be crushed with item boxes.

And do you want me to build an impromptu wall?

It should be able to interfere with the other movement somewhat.

Because it is an underground area, consumer wave blocks, heavy machinery, etc. are also at risk of collapse if used in a detour, but there is no problem in that regard.

The newly acquired skill 'Topographic Grasp' covered it for me.

I can see that the terrain in the range of the enemy is in my hands, including the ground and underground.

I can clearly see the brittle spot on the ground, the sturdy spot, and where and how it drops won't affect me.

(... Could Aka have let you take the 'tracker' for this?

Certainly there are no skills more convenient than 'topographic grasping' to fight in this underground area.

Aka said "somehow" but didn't expect this?

Or is there some other reason?

No, I'm focusing on what's right in front of me now anyway.

There is a constant announcement ringing in the brain.

Kill it or not, as much as the ants sprang up.

(Damn, I don't have time to allocate points...... heh!

Levels have gone up, but I can't afford to crack it.

By the way, I've already finished the previous level up while I was on the move.

A fourth profession has already been acquired.

It was a career choice for me to think about in the future, but I think I should have chosen the "exterminator" before this horrible number of ants.

No, it's only his destiny.

I suppose I've been preparing myself for that.

"Chai Chi! The insecticide's out! A new one!

"Oops!

"Mr. Shimizu, there are signs of ants from beyond!

"I know! Erjo, turn to Goshokawahara-san's support!

"Ri, Roger - Wow!?"

"Funnnnnnnnnnnnn!

"Su, awesome, this much round-the-clock in a place where there is no room to swing..."

"Mr. Shimizu, please turn around! I'll take care of this one with me and Roppo. Shibata is here to support them!

"Roger that! Hey, old man from Goshogawara! What about the spare Marutai?

"It's okay, I have it right!

Fighting gets more intense.

Down the stairs, how far would you have gone?

"Ah," says Article 2.

"This way, ahead! There's a sign of a queen ant from the central floor a little further down!

The look on everyone's face changed.

Nishino looks at me.

"Mr. Kudo..."

"Yeah, definitely"

My "enemy" has also reacted since earlier.

Ahead.

Queen Ant Alpa is ahead of us.

"... the signs of suck are going to binge"

The tone is mild, but Rokka seems nervous, too.

We step onto the central floor as we defeat the ants.

There was a big black ant there.

As the two articles say, Soytz was several times bigger than the rest of the ants.

The front leg is unusually long and the tip is like a kamakiri sickle.

And the abdomen is unusually bloated, with projections everywhere pulsating with dokun, dokun.

This is... Queen Ant Alpa.

Cheng Cheng, it is certainly a style not ashamed of the name of the Queen Ant.

But the intimidation seemed slightly inferior to that of High Oak and Golem.

Soldier Ants and Ants refrain from counting around Alpa enough to be ridiculous.

"Giggle!"

bees and the alpa honks its fangs.

Like intimidating us, the unholy intruders.

Then I felt signs of people from the aisle opposite across the central floor.

This could be...

"We're here! Right here!"

I heard voices.

That was the people on the City Hall team.

There are also two additional students who have joined.

"Apparently, they made it this far safely, too."

"Oh, let's keep the operation on schedule"

I still have a stock of insecticides.

Although I am somewhat tired, to this extent I have no problem.

It's going well.

Defeat him like this.

That's what I thought, the next moment - a chill ran down my spine.

"Huh...!?"

Turn around reflexively.

I had eyes with Nishino, who was in the rear.

"... what is it, Mr. Kudo?

"No, now... something..."

There was a "bad sign".

There are far more 'unpleasant signs' than the army of ants in front of us.

It's not from you Nishino.

Behind you, in the direction we came... no, further than that -.

"This is... no way..."

And right after that.

The ground rocked - 'Screaming' wooded.

"- Lulululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululu

An anger that echoes with intense shaking.

Everyone on the spot, even the ants, had to turn their consciousness, their gaze, in the direction in which their voices were heard.

"Huh... this... could it be?

"Definitely, it must be that golem..."

"Lie, no way on your way here...!?"

If that giant attacked me, this underground or something would collapse easily.

The students run upset.

"Easy, everybody! Don't break the front!

"So, but..."

"It's okay! From the sound of the sound, it's pretty far away that he showed up! It's unlikely this place will be targeted."

"Ho, really?

"Yeah, definitely"

"Good..."

Bijou relieves himself of his chest.

The other students have a relief look on their face.

……

But me and Nishino looked at each other so that everyone wouldn't understand the upset.

"Mr. Kudo..."

"Yeah, I got a bad prediction"

Because there were 'bad signs' ahead.

He's in the direction of hearing his voice.

- City Hall.

And...

"Wow... I really did what Mr. Kazuto and Nishino expected..."

rooftop of the building a short distance from City Hall.

There she was.

At the end of his gaze is the figure of a slow-moving golem.

"If the enemy had the means to break the Safe Zone, they might attack City Hall (Koko), where the main forces are no longer present. It's unlikely, but I want Ichinose here just in case. '

"- He said it, but I can't believe it really hit..."

Ha-ha-sigh, the next moment there was a sharp light in her eyes.

"I can't help it. When we get here, we're gonna have to do it-- let's go, guys."

"Wow!

…… (sieving) "

"Kyu!

To her voice, the fellow who refrained beside her also raises his voice.

"Our new power (skill) - I'll show it to him"

And she went to the battlefield too...
