Heine and Pilte are moving around with a man in their arms.Even if you are chased normally, you will not be chased, but if you hold a man on top of the opponent's interests, you are not likely to be chased.Nil and I will have to stay on our feet for a while.

I've decided on a rendezvous point after the escape, so if Nil and I stop here and then run, we can easily meet.

Back off!

"Hey! Turn around!"

Zuga, zuga, zuga!

The magic circle I was drawing behind activates, causing a stone wall to emerge on the way around, blocking the soldiers' path.

"What happened?! When?!"

"Damn it! Let's kill these two and go after them!"

"There are more of them here!" Go at once! "

They're going to crush me and Nil all at once, but I and Nil are standing on a narrow path.No matter how close you try to get at once, only three people can get into the path side by side.

Me and Nil just need to repeat three to two.

If the opponents were as powerful as they had been before, it wouldn't be a difficult fight.

Hah!

* Giggle *

I did it!

Shh! Shh!

The opposing sword is out of our reach, and our blade captures three soldiers.

Ohhhh!

Hah!

Grrrr!

"Shit!"

Nil's shield captures the face of a soldier who jumps over a corpse from behind.

On the blow, the soldier leans back and falls to his back.

The beaten face has a curved nose and a cut lip.

"Gaa..."

If you buy us a little more time like this, we'll see how Nil and I get along and get out of here.Thinking about it...

Boom! Boom!

Huh?!

Suddenly an arrow falls from the roof.

Nil and I jumped backwards and avoided the arrows, but it was dangerous if we weren't aware of them for a moment.For the time being, we were using grant-type defensive magic, but the problem was that we were attacked at a time we might not be able to avoid.If you keep doing that, you'll be attacked at some point.

Looking up at the place where the arrows flew, I saw two handmen pointing their bows at us.

"Hands again..."

"You guys are disgusting..."

After confirming that Nil and I had dodged the arrows, the two hands immediately retreated and disappeared.

"It looks like you're going to cut us off like this."

Troublesome people... right!

Snap!

"Gaaaa!"

The soldiers were attacking one after another and responding.

The handbags made the timing go wrong, but it's time for us to leave.

As soon as the gaps were created in the soldiers' attack, Nil and I ran back to our heels, paying attention to the roof.

What happened?! I ran away!

Go after him!

Boom!!

As he ran out, Nil threw a ball of poisonous smoke at his feet.

Haha!

"Stay back! It's poison smoke!"

I had used the Poison Smoke Ball before, and it seemed to be sharing information.

With the poisonous smoke, the opponent had to stop, and I could see that they were painting a magic circle of wind magic while exhaling evil, but before it could be dealt with, Nil and I swooped into the city.

"The soldiers don't seem to be that threatening, but the handfighters are still troublesome."

"I see... and I haven't seen any players yet."It's not like she's not here, but where are you looking at us... "

"In order to know that, I have to ask Heine-san and Pilte to steal the information."

Yeah.

Me and Nil turn around and head to the rendezvous point with Sura Tan and the others.The Hands might be after us, but they never attacked us alone from the moment we entered the city.Probably because we don't think Hand alone can kill us.It came to the same conclusion as the black dog.Soldiers move around, spotting gaps and launching attacks.I guess we'll have to repeat that.

It was much more troublesome and troublesome than fighting from the front.The Hands need to be vigilant, but the problem is still the Player.If we don't get the information quickly and stop the turning around, we'll be pushed into a bag someday.

As they headed to the rendezvous point, Heine and Pilte seemed to have read the memories of the blood from the two already captured, tying the two who had fainted together and placing them on the scaffold.

We were evacuated by a small waterway running through the city.It's in a tunnel to get it under the ground.Turbid water flows through the center of the tunnel, and scaffolds are built to allow people to pass from left to right.I don't know what is flushing from the whole city, but the smell drifts like throwing up.It might be hard for Heine and Pilte, but I had no choice but to ask them to cover their noses with wind magic.

When there are no people, it's quite limited.While we were moving, we made sure that there were no people around here and set it as a meeting point.

Shinya-san! Nil-chan!

"It looks like you were safe." I'm glad. ”

When Nil and I walked into the tunnel, the three of us were relieved to see their happy faces.

"We're fine." Besides, is Surakutan okay? "

Surakitan sits in the corner of the aisle and receives medical attention from Pilte.The whole body's blood has already been magically removed, and there are countless fine scratches on the body that have become well visible.

"Yeah. It's okay...?!"

When Surakutan tried to strengthen it, more force was applied to the fingertips of the pilate where the wound medicine was applied, and the Surakutan felt painful.

“It's not okay.I told you not to make such a scratch... and make such a mess, didn't I?! "

"Um... yeah... I'm sorry..."

"I understand you're trying to protect us, but it doesn't make sense for Mr. Suratan to get scratched.In the first place, we... "

Pilate's whisper continued for a while.Sura-Tan, yes. Yes. All I could do was reply.

It's not like Nil's way of getting angry, but this is scary... maybe Heine's way of getting angry is just like that.In the future, it is likely that Surakitan will hear both of them whispering continuously.

Slatan's wounds are all shallow and should all heal in a little while.Pilates may not be convinced, but it's like a man's sex that he wants to protect his loved ones.I'm sure he wanted to protect Heine and Pilte, so he wouldn't have to die.

If you are forced to do without going beyond the line you have made, it is not foolish.As the same man, I know how Surakutan feels.I've been cried by Nil for the same thing, and I know how I feel now.

But that's why I can't send a boat to Surakitan.I can't help but get angry about it.You should be frankly angry because you know you are doing what you are doing, but you are not.It is not because I am afraid to speak to the current Pilate. Definitely not. Yeah.

"Leave it around, Pilate."

"Mother..."

"I think you know Suratan, and now you have more to talk about than that, don't you?"

"That's right, I get it."

Pilte agrees with Heine and finishes treating Surakutan.I was relieved and relieved.

Maybe this isn't something Heine needs to figure out... but that's not what I'm thinking.

“So, did you find out anything?”

“Yes. Unfortunately, I didn't know exactly where Fjorde was, but I did know where she might be.”

It's superimposed.

"But I don't know if you're there."It's just a place to be. ”

"Still, it's much better than having no information.So, where is it? "

"There are three candidates: the temple on the north side of the city."A church in the southwest. And the mansion in the southeast. "

Is there a difference between a temple and a church?

“The temple is a structure dedicated to God, and the church is a structure dedicated to sermons and meetings.The purpose of use of the building is different. ”

"Huh... I see."

Like Suraitan, I am not familiar with the temples and churches.I wonder if there was such a thing as a classification...

Is that the church where Nil climbed the bell tower?

“I think so.I don't see any other church-like structures in the southwest. ”

"At first, I looked at the people around me, but there was no one like that."However, it was a very large structure, and I was wondering if it might be hiding somewhere... "

"I see... then I should go back to the church and investigate..."

What happened?!

In the middle of the conversation, Surakutan suddenly surprised me.I'm not surprised that we talked about it because our gaze is on the direction of the church.

"Is something wrong?"

"Um, yeah... I was just trying to gather the slimes near the church, but... one after the other, the reactions disappeared..."

It wasn't long before the connection with the Slime broke, and it was probably someone who killed him.

The slimes have helped me several times so far, and I noticed that they were manipulating the slimes in some way.

"Did you find the soldiers?"

"No... then I'll know what the soldiers did."But suddenly, the reaction disappeared... "

Slime's ability to spot enemies even senses a sign of the hand.When those slimes suddenly disappeared, the slimes crushed them one after another...?That is a very painful thought. In the first place, one after the other, it means that you have crushed a number of slimes.

Kill one, move, knock it down again... if you do it unnoticed and in a short amount of time, you'll need a lot of speed and tremendous secrecy.Even if the opponent wasn't alone, there couldn't be more people with speed comparable to Slatan and secrecy beyond the hand.It may be a player, but even if there are multiple players, I think it is physically impossible.

"... the possibilities are magic, ranged weapons, or bowmen."

"If magic had been used, I would have been able to sense the magic lime that was also unfolding."But I couldn't sense it. "

When that happens, you're going to shoot with a long-range weapon like a bow...?

"No, no... how many bows are ranged weapons, but slimes lurking all over the city?"Even though it's hard to find it, you can't shoot it properly in a city with lots of cover...

Besides, considering the timing of the disappearance of the response from the slime, I think it stays in one place and releases an arrow. "

”If I shoot from a position where I can see all the slimes... it's impossible if the player is the opponent.”

"... I don't know if that's possible... but if it was possible, if it was a player using a bow, I think it was the church bell tower that shot the arrow."But in that bell tower is Nil... "

"No... please wait." When I come out of the church, I feel like those shy people came in through the back door of the church.

I can't say for sure, but there are some people who have a strange air... "

Didn't you realize you were a player at the time?

"Yes... I'm sorry... at that time, I only thought there was a slightly unusual person..."

"No, I'm not blaming you.If Nil hadn't noticed, I would have only seen it twitching. "

There must have been many worshippers and evacuees.I can't help thinking that I'm an unusual worshipper.

"Yes... I had just a little space to go into the back room... I didn't have any weapons, and I wasn't wearing any armor..."

"Then I can't help but notice."It's not like Nil missed it. "

"That's right, Nil isn't bad.However, if that happens, it means that several expatriates have entered the church.It's not unusual to be suspicious, but what do you do? ”

"I guess we'll have to go."I don't have any other information, and the southwest is the closest.Behind the church is the mansion of the southeast, and the temple of the north, and all three. "

"Well then, first of all, I'll say to the church... but if the opponent looks from the top of the bell tower and is good enough to find the slime, it won't be easy to get close to..."

“We'll have to check the map and get close to where the bell tower's rays are going to break.”

"First, get closer, and then think about it."

Yeah.

“What about these two?”

Look at the two people Pilte caught.

"I can't even take you with me..."

I can't take you, but I may still have information, and I don't want to kill you like this. And then...

"Heine, Pilte, you two need to pull information from them here."I'll go to the church with you, Nilu. "

So, but...

"If the opponent is more than one person, I don't know if I can go and definitely beat them."If so, we need a place to run away. "

Do you think we should use this place as a temporary base?

“Yeah. There's no one here, and it's unlikely they'll find us.Only Heine and Pilate can extract information from these two.

I want you to pull as much information as you can while we're on the move.I might be able to get a first-hand idea of Fjorde's whereabouts. ”

You may be able to elicit direct memories, and you may think it's okay to try again and again and then move, but there is also a possibility that the information is only this.I kept waiting for information that I didn't know I could get, and after all, I didn't have anything, so it was a waste of time.It is necessary to digest from what you can to prevent that from happening.

"... I understand. Be careful."

"Yeah, I'll be very careful."

For now, I'll give you the Twin Slimes.

"If anything happens, just ignore us and these two and run."If you look at the twin slimes, they'll tell us too. "

Got it.

When Pilte receives one of the Twin Slimes from Slatan, he prudently touches the hip bag.

"After checking the church, I'll come back once afterwards.Then we will discuss the matter again. "

Yes.

Yeah.

The three of us leave Heine and Pilate to head for the church.

The city is so noisy, the soldiers seem to be looking for us.You'll have to be careful not to hit the bowl.

Suraitan, the map is in your head, isn't it?

"Don't worry, you have a good memory."

"Alright....."

We'll stop a little further around the city and double-check the map.It is still far from the church bell tower, but I decided to proceed carefully from where the slimes' reaction disappeared.

"The linear distance from the bell tower is about 200 meters."

From the shadow of the building, I peep toward the bell tower, but I cannot see who is in the bell tower, because of the condition of the sunlight.

Is it really possible to accurately point an arrow at me at such a distance?

"I wonder..."

Physically speaking, if you shoot an arrow from a height called the bell tower, you can shoot it in a linear orbit instead of a mountainous orbit.It should be much more powerful and accurate than shooting at a distance of 200 meters on a flat surface.However, no matter how far you go, it doesn't change that it's an arrow.Even though the stats are high, it shouldn't be easy to hit them movingly from a distance of 200 meters.

When I look up at the bell tower...

"... nh?"

I can see something glittering in the air.

"Huh?!"

Bakiki!!

As soon as I pull my head back, the walls of the house that was showing my face roll, and the arrows stick to the ground in front of me.

"You're kidding..."

It was a wooden wall, but it had the power to do so.If you hit it, it's an instant death course.

"It looks like you can aim accurately..."

Both Sura-Tan and Nilu look at the arrow that swallowed the raw saliva and stabbed it.

"At this distance... in this shield..."

"Besides, it looks like you've already found out where we are..."

That means your ability to spot enemies is jumping through...

I'm not going to look up at the bell tower again.

"It's going to be a tougher fight than I thought..."

We need to get closer to the church from here, and eventually investigate.Naturally, the closer you get, the more accuracy and speed the arrows fly, and the more powerful they are.If we finally get near the bell tower, will we be able to avoid it?

Besides, in order to enter the church, it is necessary to cross the main street.In other words, we have to run across the area without any cover.

If there was a fjorde in the church, I thought he might run away on the news of our approach, but it might be safer to stay in the church than to run badly.No, it's definitely safe.

I haven't seen many bow players before, but I can't believe it was amazing so far...

Speaking of which, there were rumors that the top player's archer was aiming at a precise distance of 400 meters... maybe it's not a spit, it's a fact...

"Well, if it's that kind of opponent, I'll even choke on the fact that my hands and feet don't come out..."

To be honest, I didn't feel like getting into the range of the opposing bow-user.

I couldn't possibly want to get close to an opponent who was aiming so accurately.

I was thinking about putting the church behind me, but if I didn't, the other side would move.

Awwww!!

”What?!” ”

Where we were standing.A part of the nearby building blows up.

Suddenly, we're twitching and unloading our weapons.

"Oh, you were really there."

"Why did you break everything?"

A broken building. It was the Great Sword that destroyed it.It is a double-bladed product with a scales-like engraving on the blade part, and I can see that it is a very high-quality product just by looking at it.
