"- Hmm? This is..."

I left Kerg for about half a day.

After lunch, I saw a concerned reaction to my [enemy] starting to move again.

A different reaction from a demon.

- So this is the hostile human reaction?

Our outfits now are all dressed in hooded robes so we don't know who the adventurer is, and only one person sits on your podium. The other four are hidden in a front carriage so that they are invisible.

At present, Toya is in charge of the people in charge. The lecture is about half a day long, so there is no significant difference in the arm, and it is taking turns every few hours.

I gathered everyone behind the podium and spoke to Toya so she could hear me.

"We are ambushing about 200 meters from here. There are 12 of us."

"Oh, have you come yet? Thank goodness."

Toya responded with a slightly hoarse voice, slowing down the carriage a little.

"Twelve of us... three of us, me and Nao and Yuki, would most likely be able to kill half of us... would we?

"If you can strike well, yeah. Toya, can you avoid our Fire Arrow?

"... what if I'm on guard?

Toya responded with a few thoughts.

If the first skill is obtained and the object that can be used without thinking is the "normal version" of "Fire Arrow", what we are currently using is the "fast and powerful version" with the addition of an arrangement, but can Toya avoid it...

"I think there's a way for the three of us to punch in Fireball without aiming to kill him..."

"If you're well wrapped up, you're going to be able to take away your fighting power."

The Fireball Fireball is powerful enough to blow up the upper body of a human if it also strikes directly, but the big difference with the Fire Arrow would be where the flame will spread to some extent when it lands.

It's a little inconvenient when it comes to targeting demonic material, but if you're a human opponent, a state anomaly called burn would be a pretty effective behavioral inhibitor.

The difficulty is, 'What about a little humanitarian?' The psychological part.

And that seemed the same for Natsuki -.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather have Fire Arrow than Fireball Fireball. Regardless of who you're attacking, I'm still a little unsure when people who suffer from burns ask me if I can stab them."

"... I see. You have that. Let's go with Fire Arrow."

"Then Yuki is two from the right and Hulka is two from the center. I aim if I have a hidden enemy, and if I don't, I say from the left. If you succeed in striking, will you do as usual?

I give a voice to the Natsukis as Hulka nods a little thinking.

"Toya and Natsuki, if that sounds tight, I think it's okay not to participate this time...... what do we do? I think it's less resistant to kill with magic."

"Looks like we can handle it in numbers."

If we do well, we'll be halfway there by accident.

Depending on the distance you face each other, there's a good chance you'll be able to kill just magic if you have six left.

But Toya immediately shook her head and denied our words.

"No, we're gonna kill Ya"? Leave it to Haruka and Yuki. I can't take a tour or anything. "

"... I'll do it too"

After a little silence, Natsuki also responds with few words and squeezes the sword with a slightly stiff look.

"Right. So... it's time for some movement."

A few seconds after I said that, my voice echoed as Toya stopped the carriage.

"Stop! Hey! If your life is spared, leave your load!

Seeing [Sovereign] 's reaction, what a defenseless thing, they all seem to be coming out and blocking the way.

Especially since it has always been safe between Kerg and Lafan, they will not be escorting adventurers unless they are carrying even expensive items, and I guess they are alarmed too.

But he says, 'If I spare my life,' but according to information from the Adventurer's Guild, these bandits, after taking their luggage, are also killing merchants.

I got information into the guild from an adventurer who happened to be nearby, but without it, it would have taken a while now for a crusade request to be made.

By the way, the adventurers who report to the guild are not helping the merchants who are attacked or running away, but they are usually not in a contractual relationship but do not go into helping a large number of bandit opponents, so it is not like they can be blamed.

Such are some people with heroic aspirations, people who overestimate their strengths, or people with truly extraordinary strengths.

The guys who came here with Tommy seem to have done it, but since the results are allergic, they will be classified as' overrated people '. I can't say I'm very smart.

"Bandit!?"

"Bandits, you say? Gahahahaha."

"In this situation, what is there but a bandit? Are you all right? Gehahaha."

Laughter and ridiculous words come up from the bandits on Toya's Who's Who, but if that's all you ask, there's nothing wrong with it.

In our case, it's literally 'special', so misfiring or something is pretty bad. So I thought there was no mistake, but they asked me.

When I nod at each other, Haruka, Yuki, I lift up the cloth that separated your platform from the carrier at once, aiming instantly, and unleashing magic almost simultaneously by three people.

"" "" Fire Arrow "!

Bandits reacted dull to the sudden change of circumstances.

He has hardly responded to the six "Fire Arrows" released, and six bandits fall with their heads blown off.

"Become!"

"Wizard!?"

The situation was also moving while the bandits were surprised and bewildered.

Toya and Natsuki, who jumped off the carriage at about the same time as our magic, cut off the two people who were at the head of the bandits.

"Toya! Bow, left!

Toya on my word goes to a bandit with a bow left on his left, and against three others, three of our wizards' "Fire Arrows" fly.

The bandits had recovered somewhat from the initial impact, but the speed of the "Fire Arrow", which each released one at a time, was faster than using two at the same time, and while there was a slight discrepancy in the landing position, it definitely pruned its life.

"Wait! But..."

"Am I?"

The last bandit tried to say something, but Toya just moved a little brow and swung the sword straight through, severing its neck from its torso.

And as soon as Toya retreated, his body erupted blood from his neck, while falling to the ground.

It was Toya, who looked around unafraid as it was, but made sure there was no one else to move, exhaling and unloading the sword.

"- Tired. Well done, you've got the operation in place."

"Right. I guess having an adventurer was unexpected."

Weren't they planning on taking loads from less vigilant merchants and disappearing before the crusade took place, just in a peaceful area around here?

It will soon be discovered that there are bandits here, but I guess they were going to extend that period by killing the merchants without letting them escape.

This time we were lucky - from the bandits we were unlucky and discovered early, so the crusade was supposed to take place before we escaped.

"Phew... let's get this over with."

"Right."

Whatever the demon is, you can't just leave a human body alone.

There are 12 bodies without heads, and three heads that have broken up with torso and crying.

Both Toya and Natsuki are hunting their necks accurately, so there is no major damage and they are rolling on the ground.

Collect them in one place with a chill.

"Speaking of which, Toya, the last guy, he said something...?

"Did you hear that? It's no big deal. You just said you knew each other. Look, this neck."

Toya's grumpy, rolling neck was dead with her eyes open.

Look at its neck. Yuki deflects his face, and Halka and Natsuki also blues his face a little.

I didn't know for a moment what that look looked like with my beard and hair stretched out......

"Is he in a rock?

"Sounds like it. I haven't seen it for a while but what happened during the winter...... Well, I don't have any sympathy at a time when I'm dealing with bandits."

That being said, Toya has a slightly more complicated look on her face.

Again, even if I was a bandit, I guess I felt inseparable about hanging the same classmate in my hand.

"So the other two are either of these,"

The other two necks are different, so it's likely me or Halka, or Yuki, are finished.

Exploring the nostalgia of the bodies collected, all 12 actually possessed guild cards, two of which had names like Tokuoka and Maeda.

Neither did he register his last name, nor did he remember his name below, but Yoshiro and Noriyuki would almost certainly be Japanese.

If you're Japanese with Rocky, those two are likely. After that, it's more natural than breaking up with the two of them and thinking they've paired up with another classmate.

"If I work seriously, I think I could have lived..."

"You couldn't do that. From words and deeds," If we were in this world, we would be. "

With that in mind, Toya and I are collecting weapons from the bodies of bandits and collecting their wallets.

I may be able to sell it if I peel off my protective gear, but they were all grass sleeping (every time) leather armor, so I left them there.

"Sorry, both of you"

"Well, this whole place is a man's business," he said.

"You know, cooking, I take care of you in my normal life."

We're basically the ones who can do what we can, but we're not bigoted gay men and women, so we share some roles from time to time.

It is almost an implicit understanding that Toya and I will work hard on anything else, as women are often responsible for laborious things in one way or another in our normal lives.

Especially since Yuki's complexion is not good now, I let her rest with nuts slightly away.

As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't break my heart to kill my ex-class mate because he was a bandit, but his neck is still a little irritating.

I don't want to touch it if I can either, so I apologize to the Buddha, but I roll around and collect it. - You're the bandit who killed all the merchants, and what else? I'm sure it's not "Buddha".

"But the quality of the weapon, it's bad. You're almost scratchy, this is"

Bandits who had a decent weapon, but not special iron like our yellow iron, very ordinary, no, swords made of slightly poor quality iron, etc., and not even cared for.

Many things like rust floated, and even if I brought it to Mr. Gantz, it would only be a bundle of three sentences.

"Right. If you melt it, you can make about a pot pot."

"Stop. I don't want to cook in a pot made of that."

"I agree. If you want to take it home, sell it away."

"It can't be."

"Ooh. Copy that."

Rejected harder than expected by the Hulkas, Toya nods, bewildered.

If it melts, there will be the idea that iron is iron, but it certainly wouldn't feel good to say that cookware made with the weapon you were using to kill people.

"Now, this corpse... hey, Halka, does leaving a corpse undead or something?

"It's not a normal place. But you don't know it's a particularly magical area. He came out of the north woods and skeletons, so if I left him around, could he be a zombie?

"Ugh, zombies. I hate it more than Skeleton, that."

The skeleton didn't smell anything, but the zombies absolutely stink.

They are opponents who do not want to fight if possible. It's even worse if you have a quick zombie.

"Do they... burn? Fallen to the bandits, but at the mercy of the homeland. Let's cremate him."

"... if you bury them badly, they can feed on wildlife."

It would be better than being dug up and dragged around with a chill.

Besides, even in this country, they will cremate as much as possible to combat the undead.

When you pile up the body with me and Toya, you throw the Fireball Fireball in there with Hulka.

"... Fine, it's hard to burn, isn't it?

"... there's a lot of it."

I'll watch as the smoke magically sends the wind so it doesn't come here and burns easily, but it's going to take me a while to get out of the way.

"Do you want to throw in some firewood? If it was me, I'd come looking for you.

"That's no use either...... Uh-huh, there won't be any fighting anyway, and I'm going to pour in magic, crap."

I don't mind using the firewood I've been collecting for the incineration of criminals, and if I'm going down this street, I have little to worry about demons. Even if I can't use magic, there won't be a big problem.

"Halka, Toya, get away from me"

When I speak to the two of them like that, I get far enough away from the pile of burning corpses to work out my magic.

I don't have time to relax about this if it's in battle, but now I have no problem.

Perhaps half of my total magic, physically?

The Fireball Fireball, which was all magical about "Full Swing of Fire Power," was bigger than expected, as much as a hug, and it slowly flew away and hit a pile of corpses.

Goo!

At that moment, a giant firepillar rises and my forehead, standing quite far away, flickers in the hot air.

"... wow"

A few seconds later, only the black-burned scorched earth remained in the trail of the fire calming down.

Brilliantly, there was no trace of the body.

"... Nao, that's too much, isn't it?

"Hmmm... you were more powerful than I imagined?

No, well, I've grown a lot too, and comparing pure magic consumption to power isn't strange if I can burn it all down...

"In the meantime, should the ground be repaired?"

It would also be difficult for the grass to grow if it remained burnt.

Use dirt magic to gently flip the dirt over.

"Nothing's wrong. Yeah."

I feel a subtle white gaze pointed at me from Toya and Hulka when I said that with a slap of bread and hands, but that must be my fault.
