"Guuu..."

A leader man puts his hand on his belly and suddenly starts to suffer.

……………

I thought I had drunk poison, but my hand was moving irregularly to keep my stomach down.

"Huh?!"

When I saw it, I had a bad feeling for some reason.It may be said that a chill has run.It was just an instinct, but I pulled Nilu's hand and pulled as far as I could away from the three hands.

”” GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Gush, gush, gush, gush, gush!

Almost at the same time that I pulled Nil, the three of them screamed in their ears, and the next moment, countless branches of sharp wood jumped out of their bodies.

The holes like the eyes and ears are natural, and the branches that broke through the skin from the body to the cheeks, chest, and abdomen stretch to where we stood earlier and stop.If we had stood there, we would have been skewered.

"W-What the hell is this..."

Needless to say, the three of them died instantly.Well, it doesn't hold the prototype, it's just a piece of meat.

”A branch sticks out of my body... is it suicide...?”

"... no. Probably not. The plant that's jumping out of this body.I think it's Kalka. "

Kalka?

I use appraisal magic to investigate the plants that destroyed the three bodies.

[Kalka... a tree that grows with dead meat as a seedbed.There is a seed at the tip of the sharp branch. [Rare tree].

"A tree that grows from dead meat...?"

"This is the third time I've seen it, too."I don't think it's a plant I normally see very often.Of course, corpses such as monsters and beasts are trees that grow from human corpses, and I've seen them in the forest of abundance.Don't touch it. When you touch the tip of a branch, you can plant seeds. ”

"Planting... I'm scared."

"That's how plants last."By the way, I'm not the name. "

Isn't it a plant that can only be seen in the forest of abundance?

“Yeah, I don't even know where it is.”

But these guys are corpses...?

"Before that, Calca was also a type of plant.I don't think it will grow like this. ”

Is there no magic?

"I wonder if you don't know the magic that makes Kalka."And Kalka, who came out of the corpse.Looking at the way the trees grow, rather than being produced by magic, they grew when they germinated and grew from seeds.Maybe you'll find out if you look into it. ”

"From the seeds... does that have anything to do with the rapid growth of Zalain?"

"Yeah. Maybe... wait a minute..."

Slatan's expression turned into a steep expression, and he was able to turn his thoughts around.

Shinya-san, Nil-san.

Surakutan lowered his voice and spoke to me.

"I don't know how to grow so fast, but there are two things I can think of.One is if three dead people do something. "

They drank seeds so we couldn't see them, or manipulated their magic.

However, that means that the bandits tried to throw their lives away and avoid inconvenience to their people...I don't think I'm that good of a buddy.I could see that kind of behavior, but I felt a sense of mutual help among the three dead.

Unlike other bandits, Hand is a unit of certain people.If these three have always fought together, it is not strange that a strong sense of fellowship is born among the three.But when the three of them died, it was unlikely that anyone could escape.

In other words, not to help one of the three, but to protect a handyman's companion who hadn't come here due to an information leak... but it didn't seem like such a winner.

"Another possibility is..."

Surakitan didn't say a word from there.

It is normal to think that if the three people who died were not killed by their own will, they would have been killed by the will of others.

And when it becomes the other person in this case...... there may be enemies lurking nearby.

After thinking like that, Nilu and I are just as vigilant around us.If someone was watching and killed three people at the right time, at least they'd be hiding somewhere where they can see where we are.They were fighting all over the city, so it's unlikely to be visible from anywhere, and they're likely to be lurking quite close.

What are you going to do?

………………

It seemed like Surakutan was pretty nervous about not being able to grasp the position of the opponent.His voice is trembling.

I'm not making a fool of myself.I'm just as nervous as Nil.

However, I waited for a while, but it was quiet without being attacked.There was no sign of it, and the only thing that came was the city noise.

"I don't know if you've quit... or if you've been observed..."

When it came to finding enemies, I relied on Heine and Pilte, and it hurt a lot not to be able to grasp the surrounding situation at such a time.However, if you stay still, you'll be surrounded by soldiers or bandits in the city.

If you end up having to move, it's better to move faster.

"Suratan. Nil. Let's move."

Yes.

What, are you okay?

Suratan nodded anxiously to Nil without asking anything.

"Honestly, I don't know. I don't think it's strange to be attacked at any time.But I don't think the situation will change if I stay here. ”

I'll be honest. If there are still enemies nearby looking for us, we are in a very dangerous situation.The moment it starts moving, the magic from the darkness in front of you is slurping!It's possible. In order to keep them alert, I thought it would be better to move without worrying rather than reassuring them in vain.

"... yes... I see. I see. Let's go.”

"Alright. Nil. Take the lead." I'm going behind you.Climb to the roof at the right time.Be cautious while checking to see if there's a pursuer. ”

"Yes, I understand."

Nil runs out of the city at night with her shields and her battlegrounds.

Then, Surakutan ran, and I ran.

The chances of an ambush bounce up if the pursuer is there, as the city's soldiers choose a dark path so that they won't notice.Bends, shadows, and extreme darkness.Every time I see them, the tension swells up.

Still, we keep running without stopping.

After a while, when I realized that there was no ambush from the enemy, Nil jumped on the roof, followed by Surakutan and me.

And then it ran straight up on the roof.Occasionally jumping over roads or turning at right angles.Repeat the actions that the pursuer dislikes.

"... it looks like you don't have a pursuer... right?"

I ran around the city, but there was no sign of a pursuer.

At the time of killing the three of them, the premise was different in the first place, and the three of them took their own lives for the other people... Whatever it is, I think we can rendezvous with Heine and the others.

That's right.

I'm so glad...

When I finally relieved the tension, Surakutan lifted his shoulder and sighed.

"It's too early to be completely distracted."It's almost dawn. I want to get out of this city before the sun comes out. ”

"Oh, that's right." We need to work a little harder. ”

I'm glad you put your temper back in.But I feel the same way.It was strange why there was no pursuer, but it was possible that he joined the main unit of Handyman.The few decided they couldn't fight us and retreated temporarily.Maybe they'll crush us with an overwhelming majority later.However, it is a later story, and now it is almost safe.

First of all, let's join Heine and the others as soon as possible.

Got it.

We run as fast as we can and get back to Heine and the others.

Heine and Pilte waited for us while they waited for us to return.

"Heine. Pilte."

As soon as I opened the door of the mausoleum, Pilte rushed over.

"You were safe, weren't you?! I'm glad..."

When Pilté looks at us, he's so relieved that he thinks he's going to cry.

I told Pilte to run away, so I guess he didn't feel comfortable living until now.

"Yeah. No injuries." There was a lot going on, but it was safe. ”

"I'm so glad..."

Pilte hugs Nil and is happy to be safe.

"Heine, I don't think the pursuer is here, but Pilte didn't even notice the opponent."Be a little more vigilant. ”

"All right, but you're leaving town, right?"

Do you want to do that, but there's no other farm?

“It's okay. From this man earlier."

That's why Pilte turned his attention to Tuil, who was stunned.Seeing that there were scratches on my face that I hadn't seen before, I saw Heine... no, this time I think I made Pilate angry.There was a lot of mood, and there was only one person who escaped, so it would have been standing, so the boiling point should have been quite low.I guess Tuil let out an extra word there.It is a miracle in a sense that he is not dead.

Then he read the memory of the blood and found out that there was no other farm.

"If so, there's nothing to do in this city already."Let's get out of here. "

"I'm ready."You can leave right now. "

"Good. Then let's get moving."I'll tell you more after I leave the city. ”

Roger that.

With the two stunned prisoners in their charge, they all emerged from the mausoleum.

"As planned, we will cross the outer wall, not the gate."Please try to avoid fighting from here. ”

"Yeah, I know."

It's up to me and Nil to carry the stunned man.

From the beginning, we aim for the outer wall in the order of Heine, Slatan, me and Nil, and Pilte.

Heine chose the path of enemies, and if anything happened, he responded immediately at Suraitan's speed and left.Pilate could see the sign from behind.If people like you don't see the signs, Nil and I are going to join the fight, but given that we've never done anything like this before, it's safe to assume that the hand or the person who slaughtered it hasn't come after us yet.

As you can guess, there was never a fight on our way to the outer wall.

"Well... it's my job from here on out."

When I reached the outer wall, Surakutan clenched his fist and grabbed his temper.

“Are you sure you're okay?”

"Yeah. It's okay. Leave it to me."

"... I understand. Please."

Yeah!

After the reply, Slushan jumps two or three times on the spot, and waves his hands hanging around.

"Huh...!!"

Damn it!

Slatan kicked the ground as hard as he could after increasing his concentration.

Leaving only the wind on the spot, she ran at an incomprehensible speed.

Tan!

Kick the ground slightly in front of the outer wall and jump diagonally forward.Naturally, there is an exterior wall there.

Snap, snap, snap!

However, Surakutan continued to run up the wall.

When I said that the castle had melted, I was quite surprised by Surakutan, but I think it's a rather insane rhetoric to run and climb the high exterior wall.

In principle, when you try to run over the water, your left foot is similar to the one that says... before the right foot sinks, and your body only runs upward faster than it falls downward rather than away from the wall...... It's entertainment for those who specialize in speed.Something like that could be done around Siden on Ouca Island, but I can't.

In the end, the slatan ran over the outer wall and stopped with its hand on the upper edge.

Sinya-san and Suratan are transcendent beings.

Heine said it while looking at Slushitan with distant eyes.

"Well, I still want to think that it's within the scope of people..."

"Fufufu... I can't."

She was definitely denied with a beautiful smile.

While having such a conversation, Surakutan shows his face on the outer wall and checks his surroundings.

Apparently, a few soldiers are standing, checking several times, and then disappearing onto the wall.

In a few seconds.

Palaaaaaaaaaaaa

It was the rope that fell from the top.Suraktan defeated his enemy and lowered his rope.Soon, the second and third ropes are lowered, and we just climb them.

When I reached the top, I found two soldiers fallen, but without touching them at all, I looked outside the outer wall.

Looks like you're on the alert outside, too.

Outside the exterior wall, you can see people holding torches and lanterns.From what I've seen, it looks like the bandits.They're keeping an eye on Zarain so he doesn't get taken outside.

Sinya-kun's amazing magic can't be used for 24 hours, so it can't be used twice, right?

Yeah.

I used it on the farm and in the castle, so I can't use my hands here... right?

“That's what it is.”

When that happens... I think it would be best to do something nice...

There are some hands that use the wind-cutting feathers of locks to clean up... but considering that they can't escape and are surrounded, it's not a good idea to use them here.I wanted to get through it by using the items well.

If you're excited, items that produce some flashy effects are good, right?

"I see... but that's hard for a slime."I don't think there's any slime around here. "

If so, please leave it to me.

I deposited the man Nilu was carrying with Slatan and looked for his hip bag.

What I took out was a particularly large bottle of what was in Nil's hip bag.It is a bottle that is distinguished from a large bottle, and there is also a large amount of enclosed items.

A double circle is drawn on the side of the bottle.

Big burst incinerator. That's the name you gave to the item you took out.

If it is explained briefly, it is the upper level compatibility of the incinerator.

A large explosive ball made from a pink mold.It is packed in a powdery state in a bottle, and contains large pieces of a long burning brown mold.Igniting and throwing a white cloth that is popping out of the lid of the bottle, it causes a big explosion, and then a brown mold that is on fire splashes around it.

If you use it in the woods, in the middle of the city, or in a place with a lot of flammable objects around, it is very dangerous and the damage is very high.For this reason, it is an item that I don't have many opportunities to use, but the effect is high, and I let it be held in case I have to say it.

Around the exterior wall, trees are cut down, and the exterior wall is made of stone.There is nothing to worry about burning.And the explosion and the big incendiary bottle that creates a flame that stands out even under the sky, which is about to change from night to morning, will attract the attention of the surroundings more than ever.Bring it to the fun.

I-it was a great explosion and a fire-producing item, wasn't it?

"Yes, this should draw attention to the surrounding area."Let's jump at that time and run through it all at once. ”

"Jump?!"

I looked down from the outer wall and saw a blue face.

As for me, Nilu, Heine and Pilte, I think that at this height, I would be able to land with wind magic, but Suratan has used such magic very rarely.

Looking at the sensation of the original world, you can die high!I guess you'd think so.

“Shall we jump off together?”

Pilte worries about Surakutan.

"It's okay... maybe... I'm sure...?"

It doesn't look like it's going to be okay.

"Heine, Pilte, get me the man who caught Sura."

Got it.

I got it.

Surakutan looked down again and again and seemed anxious.

If I jump from the top of the mountain, I'm sure I'll be fine at this height... hmm?Is that a strange idea?

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?"

Yeah.

Yes.

Yeah.

"Huh? Huh?"

Boom!

Nil throws the big incendiary jar outside the outer wall, away from us, before it reacts.

Unlike the artillery, a large bottle flying in the night sky with a relaxed curve.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

In the air, fire enters the bottle, and in an instant, it burns into the pink mold, and the sound of explosions and blasts swaying not only the tympanic membrane, but also the ground.

The sky stained red for a moment, and then there was a lot of rain of fire coming from the sky.

I'm going!

I'm still ready!

We jump off the outside wall at the right time.

There was no time to wait for Surakutan to get ready.

"W-What happened...?"

"Uu, uuu..."

The people under the Big Bang are blowing up and lying on the ground.I tried to get up, but I couldn't get up because I lost my sense of equilibrium due to the explosion.

"Nghhh!!"

Suratan couldn't scream even if he wanted to. He landed in a silent voice, grabbed by Heine and Pilté's arms.

"Fire! Put out the fire!"

One of the people who was safe is screaming, but the people near the heartland are deaf.

I try to activate and extinguish water magic by reacting to several voices, but because Braun Mold has the property of continuing to burn even when it is put in water, it does not disappear no matter how much water is applied.

Since there is no flammable material, it is fine to leave it alone, but when you see the fire burning everywhere, it seems that it is the human nature to try to extinguish it.

"Hey! Someone's here!"

"Go after him! Don't let him escape!"

There were a lot of bandits on the boulder, and even if I drew attention to the explosion, there was still someone to notice.He's noticing us, and he's holding his tongue.

Let's run!

Crunchy!

Using the grass that was growing nearby, he ran away from the city while hiding.However, I want you to stop chasing me like this.

I reach into my hip bag while carrying the man with one hand.

Parynx!

When I throw the bottle out of the waist bag behind me, the bottle breaks and the poisonous spores spread into the air.

A vial of venom. A vial containing spores of thistle mushrooms.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bika, bika, bika!

The man who inhaled the spores immediately embodied the effect of the poison and vomited a lot of blood.He dropped his knee on the spot, looked at his hand, which turned bright red, and fell down in front of him.
