The time left for a showdown with Peonie is three days.

That was exactly the same period as when Titan was. Even then, the mayor's time limit for achieving the conditions of "Safe Zone Expansion" was three days.

(... that was tough then too)

I headed to the next town with Fujita to ask the militia for help, and Ichinose ran off with Momo to collect weapons-enhancing material. Nishino, you guys got to the level, and we all worked together to defeat Titan and Alpa. Even then, even though there was still something I could do, I couldn't move as I thought because of the time limit of three days.

(But this time it's even harsher than then...)

Anyway, there are very few things I can do this time.

The walls of "Safe Zone" have peonies tangled all over them, and if you want to go out poorly, he'll prey on you instantly.

(Peony's predatory range is not half... You can probably assume that his roots and scraps will reach all over this town)

I can't satisfy myself with hunting monsters to raise levels or replenish supplies.

We are trapped in a cage named 'Safe Zone' where we cannot enter or leave freely.

(There's something I can do, though)

There is a chance. There is also a way out.

Focus on it now.

First, Nishino asked me to confirm it.

"Well, then, Sola, I asked for it."

"Um."

Me and Sola got ready fast.

Meanwhile, around that time,

"- So this is what we've always been like?

Rokka asks Nishino as she wields the violin in her hand.

"Oh. Both Kudo and Fujita would be getting ready by now. We do what we do."

"This is how you've been working on slashing the stuck pigeons on the 'wall'?

"Oh."

Nishino and the others have been working on cutting Peonie's bamboo sticking to the 'wall' all morning.

Nevertheless, every single one of them is a thick twist on a person's arm.

Peony will quickly prey on me if I accidentally go 'outside' in addition to using considerable physical strength just to slash it. It was a task that was plain but used considerable strength and concentration.

Only the most stately of them, the six flowers, continue to be flat.

"You're gonna play it right after you hang up like this."

"That's fine. I mean, I explained everything in advance."

"Was that it? I forgot."

"You..."

Nishino looks at the stopwatch in his hand as he shudders.

"Three seconds..."

Next he opens the email screen from his status and puts in contact.

I got a response right away.

- All right, guys, block your ears.

"To?"

Rokka pokanned for a moment, but immediately a scare ran on his spine, blocking his ears reflexively.

And the next moment - zdowwwwww! and.

A roar rang so loud that it swayed the earth.

"Yes, now?

"It's a dragon brace."

If you look, near Peonie's body, a giant firepillar was rising.

The sight was far more powerful than what we saw yesterday.

Even though I know it's an attack by an ally, Rokka shudders at its too destructive power.

"Su, wow......"

Sola held more than a hundred SPs.

With all those massive points, all those enhancements are convincing. Probably some skills - especially offense related skills - must be kanst.

But...

- I knew you couldn't do it.

Nishino, standing next to him, murmured so calmly.

Binoculars are held in his hand at some point.

When the sand and dust subsided, there was a figure of Peony still standing there.

"Shh..."

"It still seems that all those braces of power can be prevented before they reach the main body at this distance..."

Though as expected, this result is easy on boulders.

It's not just the size. Peony has irregular defenses and reaction speeds.

"But not intact."

"Huh?... Oh, really"

If you look closely, there were dozens of burnt roots and twigs protruding in front of Peonie.

I guess I used quite a few to prevent Sora from bracing.

Nishino instantly checks the email screen.

"- About ten seconds..."

Make a note of the results in the notebook.

Rokka stared at the state of it.

"All right, guys, let's get back to work"

……

"What's up, Roppo? Don't look. Get back to work."

"Hmm? No, I just thought I'd gone back to my usual Nissy."

When I hear that, Nishino laughs softly.

"It's the usual thing. Don't tear it up. Just do it."

"Yes, sir."

And they went back to cutting the stuck pieces on the wall.

Meanwhile, the sound of shooting Sola's braces rang out again and again.

Ichinose was on the roof of City Hall.

"I gathered as much as I could gather, but I still don't have much material..."

Before her, there was a line of materials that could be used as' weapons makers'.

Iron scraps, demonic stones, Giant Ant crusts, skeleton bones, Trent branches, and more.

Staring at them enough to fill the floor, she sighs.

(But I can't make more weapons than "Broken Castle Hammer" or "Against Castle Rifle" with this...)

Her 'weapon generation' will require all kinds of material.

When I was in Titan, I was able to build a stronger weapon thanks to Momo and Kazuto collecting it "outside," but now I can't do that.

Now that the level is up, as long as we have the material, we can also make weapons that are more than 'broken castle hammers', but what the hell is that?

(Well, making it this time is something completely different from that, and I wonder if I can figure it out...)

What she was told to make is nothing more than a broken castle hammer. It's something completely different. Her "weapon creation" can make not only "broken castle hammers" and "monster rifles" but also existing weapons and accompanying objects.

View the 'dossier' that was given to you as a parallax.

(Ugh, it's complicated... Lots of parts and jargon I've never heard of...)

What Nishino and Fujita asked for, and what Kazuto asked for. Both of which will play an important role in the showdown in three days. In a way, I can say that her work will dictate the showdown in three days.

(Ugh, my stomach hurts...... I think I'm gonna throw up)

Even before I came here, I was called out for encouragement by all kinds of people.

But 'good luck', 'you can do it' and 'I expect' are the three main words that should not be said to the people in the drawer cage.

If it had been her before, she might have thrown up unbearably under the pressure (pressure) and escaped the spot.

But not now. Now she's not a people-friendly, discouraged girl like she used to be.

(That's right. Mr. Kazt is trying. Rich and Momo are all doing what they can)

Everyone is serious about doing what they can. I'm scratching my feet desperately to survive.

How can you be alone in nothing when you are made to look like that?

"Phew...... okay, let's do our best. Hey, Aka."

"... (sighs)!

He regained his temper and Ichinose went to work with Aka, who was next door.

Stomach pain had disappeared at some point.

Shika Gokurai was in front of the city hall.

There is a large crowd in front of her.

"Then the A and B squads will be ready to cook, C and D squads will be packing at their respective points, and E squads will be back in a few moments with Nishino-kun and Fujita's group, so I need their help."

"" "Okay." "

The inhabitants listen to her words and head to their respective jobs.

I have little anxiety or fear until yesterday on that face.

(You were worth sparing while you slept and kept 'enchanting'...)

Sedation of confusion and induction of the inhabitants.

Ten incense had done almost perfectly what Kazuto had ordered him to do in a short time.

Her 'glamour' was increased by her continued use of skills on insomnia break, allowing her to 'enchant' more people.

Inhabitants whose spirits had originally been sharpened to critical point by the raids of dragons and peonies.

In their weak minds, her words have been stained like sponges, and now they have eagerly listened to her words and acted to her will. The figure resembled a 'believer' in a way. In fact, it's similar, but not a problem because it's convenient for her.

No matter how many hands you have, it's not enough. Even if you can't count it as a force, this battle is like a mountain of things to do.

(Residents unite for purpose. Oh what a wonderful sight......)

She was happy to see such a sight.

I still feel good about moving people as they please. Dozens or hundreds of people do what they think they do. The height, the superiority, is still irresistibly comfortable. She was getting the sight she wanted by being taught by Kazuto, even if she didn't want to.

(Though it broke my bones to convince my fucking father Yan Grandpa. Well, I'm glad I managed)

I was quite surprised when I was known to have 'brainwashing' skills, but the situation is the situation. I also want to borrow the cat's hand. Her skills are essential in this situation, and the Fujita and the others reluctantly agreed.

(Ma, it'll be a lot harder after the fight, but you just have to protect him then. hehe......)

Anyway, he (Kazt) and his group are now the biggest fighters in this city hall. No one will be able to express an opinion as an adult. And as long as I do my part properly, as long as I continue to be the person I need for Kazt, I am protected by my strongest shield.

"Yes, it's a responsibility. Because of all the terrible things you've done to me, Mr. Kazuto should take responsibility for me properly. Hehe, uhh..."

"Oh, there's a black smile on your face."

"Right, brother. That's the usual ooh-ooh."

Next door her twin siblings - Shiori and Shidoku laugh innocently.

"Beh, I haven't got a disgusting grin or anything. You're both completely rude."

"Oh, my God."

"Oh my God?

The twin siblings behead.

Well, I hope Shika sighs lightly.

"I also have things to do for Shiori, Shidoku and you guys. That's good, right?

"Yes, okay, oh hey"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey"

And Tenka gave them new instructions.

Give me the instructions that Kazuto was asking for.

Fujita, along with Towada and other militia members, had come to a certain place.

"Now, do you want to start working? Is the time... about five minutes at a time? Can you do it?"

"Of course. Here we go."

They get into work fast.

"It was a delightful miscalculation that the two of us got our example skills in advance."

"Oh, thanks to you, we can proceed with our work more efficiently"

As work progresses, Towada looks toward Fujita.

"But your daughter is amazing. I can't believe I came up with an operation like this."

"It's not Tenka. I came up with Nishino."

"Oh, it's him. I've spoken to you a few times, and you're making me wonder if you're really in high school."

Operation for this peonie crusade.

When they heard the full story, they were stunned, but when they heard that just a handful of high school students thought of the operation more than that, it was quite a surprise.

"You must have peeled. There was no more stray."

"It means I've grown spiritually. When I first got here, there was a shadow somewhere, but it was gone. I'll turn it into something else. I don't know who convinced you, but it's a big deal."

Boys, if we don't see each other for three days, it's something I've often told you to scratch.

Growing up kids is always fun.

It would be ironic, in a way, for his daughter to have twisted like that, but I'm still glad to hear it.

"But I'm surprised. I can't believe you guys are cooperating in this operation."

"Really?

"Oh, 'cause you've been scared. What kind of change of heart is that?

"... running away doesn't change anything. And..."

"And?"

Towada looks in a certain direction as he moves forward with his work.

"... the moment I saw that dragon, I suddenly remembered something. We were entrusted with something. I can't remember what that is... but I've always been scared of that big tree, and I think" Soyts "will laugh at me..."

"Who is it?

"I don't know, I can't remember. But..."

Towada desperately explores memory.

But I can't remember.

Who I am and what I have been entrusted with.

But still,

"- I'm sure 'Soyts' was a family-minded father"

Blank memories before coming to City Hall. Memories taken.

As he desperately handled it, Towada was immersed in the work.

Everyone runs.

No Kazuto, no Ichinose, no Nishino, no Roppo, no Shibata, no Goshokawahara, no Fifty Storms.

Momo, Aka, Kiki, and Sola.

Fujita, the mayor, Shimizu, Nijo, Towada, members of City Hall, militia members, and residents without levels.

Everyone came together to prepare for the showdown.

The opponent is immense enough to do nothing.

Still, they keep going.

Believe that's the only way we can survive...

- And the period of three days goes by quickly.

The third night.

After all the preparations and dinner, I was relaxed and watching the sky on the roof.

"What's wrong, in here?

"Nishino-kun..."

It was Nishino who came.

I have two canned coffee in my hand.

Drink one of those offered.

"Can't you sleep?

"No, I was just thinking about tomorrow."

I did what I could do.

All you have to do is run it.

But it's still something that makes me nervous.

"I did what I could do. So if you fail, stick your chest up - it doesn't make any sense."

"Yeah, failure is unacceptable"

That means death for all of us.

Peonie eats us, we're not remembered by anyone, we leave no footprints, we disappear.

I'm sorry for that future.

(I've found out a lot over the last three days)

The monsters couldn't hunt busily either, and the levels didn't rise, but the information gathered instead.

Peony's abilities, his ecology, his thoughts, what he could look into in the last three days, were exhausted.

Thanks to Kiki, I had an unexpected harvest, and I completed all the stuff I was asking for from Mr. Ichinose.

(Sola's eyes were completely healed. Ready -)

All we have to do is win.

"Let's win, be sure"

"Yeah, be sure."

Hit each other with a can of coffee in your hand, and we'll go back to our room.

Then I chatted with Ichinose for a while, stroked Momo as much as I wanted, and I fell asleep.

And the next day.

We were coming to the 'Safe Zone' border.

Peony remains in formation on the outskirts of town.

Looking at the giant, I see Ichinose standing behind me.

"Looks like we're all in position."

"Yes."

Check each other's positions in the 'Email' and make a final confirmation of the operation.

One minute until the operation begins.

Huh. I exhale.

"Ichinose-san"

"Yes."

"Momo."

"Wow."

"Aka"

"... (sighs)"

"Kiki."

"Kew."

"Sola."

"... hun"

I look around everyone's face and I snort.

Then there was a puffy shooting in the rear.

It's a signal to start the operation.

"All right, it's us first. One shot at the opening, please, Sola."

"Um."

Sola splashes her wings and rises high in the sky.

And the invisible walls of the 'Safe Zone' stood still on the heavenly edge, breathing heavily.

"Everybody! Block your ears!

Everyone immediately blocked their ears.

I immediately wave to Sola.

Sora nodded cocklessly and opened her mouth.

"GUARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Sora's roar echoed and the extreme flash blinked.

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~!"

Boom.

Blast.

Odd voice of a wood-spirited peony with a giant firepillar.

"- All right, let's go!

I can't go back.

The curtain of the showdown with Peonie was cut and dropped.
