"This was also a famous adventurer around here." Are you sure you two are okay? "

A tall man says such a thing with a half smile on his face.

After being told, Kevin told me that some of the adventurers who had fallen into the bandits had quite a few arms when he talked to them.

There must have been somebody named Hydnese in there. The characteristics of the people who appeared in the story are very similar to the three people in front of me.

It was true... the big guy who used it in the war was Menuto. The woman is Fa 'er, and I feel like the little feline was a yuvolakos... I'm not sure if the name is right for me, but it should have been that name.

I heard that this party called Hydnese was originally a quadruple, and that there was another wizard man.

Anyway, one day, the wizard's man was suddenly found dead, and they tried to investigate, but they couldn't find the other three, and then they rumored he'd become one of the bandits. The rumor was true.

This neighborhood is Handyman's territory, and Tempest's base should be in the north. In that case, I think there is a distance from here to the home of Tempest. I don't know whether it was flowing or whether it was originally intended to enter Tempest, but there is no doubt that it eventually entered Tempest.

Because of that history, it seems that the wizard man was killed by the party members... but even so, he's not surprised because he's a bandit.

I wouldn't normally think of killing a party member who dives through the same dead end... but if you did that, it would be a lot of scum.

If the three people who showed up were Hydnese, if my memory was correct, it would have been an A-rank party.

Hydnese disappeared a few years ago, but it's not like we've had the rich experience of traveling. If you belonged to a giant bandit group, there would have been almost no battle to raise your skills. Thinking of it that way, I think it hasn't changed much since I cut off the news. It was possible that Nina's arm was dull.

If that prediction were true, it would probably still be a good A-rank strength. Seeing our battles and perceiving them to be strong means that we have the power to grasp each other's power differentials. And yet, when it comes out this leisurely, is there still a secret strategy or something?

"An ambush... no, it's like a magic tool...?"

Would you like me to play a little trick on you?

"No. I don't know what they're up to, and it's dangerous to suddenly step in." I don't want to take much time, but I'll see how it goes. Take a little more distance than usual and focus on safety.

I'll deal with it first. Get me some cover. "

Got it.

At first, Nil was naturally looking at the opponent on the same thought circuit as me. There is nothing to say, because the conversation alone has made it possible to decide on the next course of action.

While paying attention to the ambush soldiers and magic tools, I carefully checked the situation to see if there was anything else.

The soldiers around them are watching our movements, but they don't seem to want to come out of us, and they seem to be waiting for the three Hydnese to move.

Heine, Pilte, and Surakitan seem to be at a distance from Girijiri, but they haven't engaged yet.

"After all, you two are going to do it." I don't know if I regret it. "

Yuborakos pulls out his knife and turns it around with his hand.

"Be careful, they're better than us."

"I know, I'll go full-fledged from the beginning."

Menuto alerts Yuborakos and Yuborakos responds.

After all, they seem to know the difference in power between us. Still, there must be something behind the extra attitude.

Tan!!

Yuborakos was the first to move.

Because my eyes are used to the speed of Suratan, I don't feel that fast, but it's fast for the Beastmen. It's not that it's abnormally fast, but it's fast enough to chase it with my eyes.

C 'mon!

Boom! Boom!

The speed of shaking two knives was also great. However, a height of about 150 centimeters would be equivalent to no power.

I dodged it and watched, but there was nothing particularly strange about it, and I didn't see any ambushes or magic tools.

………………

Fuck! Fuck!

I was attacked several times, but I could see everything and it was easy to avoid.

"Why don't you hit me so easily after all?"

Once away from me, Yuborakos looks at me with a half smile on his face.

It seemed that the other two didn't attack, and Nil wasn't moving either. Apparently, it was a combination to prove my prowess.

"You can't win one-on-one, can you?"

"The female slave there is definitely strong."

“Every time we tried to move, they brought us in.”

When that happens, I guess the three of us will have to go.

When Yuvolakos says that, Menuto and Fa 'er take the stance as well.

Faraday holds a bow, not a fine sword.

The quiver was about the size of twenty arrows, and it wasn't a battle style that fought by itself. Probably a battle style that switched swords and bows well. However, it seemed that the bow alone could kill the opponent. It was close to the rear guard, but it felt like it could also fight in close quarters.

"Master... that bow..."

"Yeah, it doesn't look like a normal bow."

The bow Faarl had looked like an unattractive, pale, light blue, twinkling object, called a short bow or a small bow.

Amu has been targeting us from a distance all over the city of Janoya. Unlike the long bow she was using, it had the characteristic of being able to shoot quickly and continuously at close range. Instead, since the power and flying distance fall, you can't aim and shoot from a distance.

Farrell's bow is a short bow with such characteristics, but if my eyes are correct, the material should be made of wood... but the bow is very shallow.

If you turn the arrow on the bow and pull the string, both ends of the bow will be pulled hard, and it is normal to curve greatly. However, the curvature is too shallow. I don't know if it's okay to say that the strings are hardly pulled... no, the strings themselves are pulled. There's no doubt that you can hear the twitching sound when you actually pull the string.

However, it feels as if you are pulling a metal bow that Amu used to use, which is a very hard material.

It was a woman from the Elves. Even though I wasn't a player, I didn't think I had that kind of power. But that's what it looks like.

"I don't like it. It's like being targeted by Amu...?!!"

Pakie! Pakie!

The moment Nil tried to warn me to be vigilant. I fired the arrow that Fa 'er was watching.

Aiming at me... No, aiming at me, if you dodge, it's a single arrow that puts Heine behind you in range.

Originally, the short bow had a short flight distance, and from the position of Far El, it could not reach even if it was aimed at Heine, and even if it arrived, it had little power. However, as soon as Farael took his hand off the arrow, it seemed that it had disappeared from his hand. I've seen many people shoot bows so far, but I've never seen an arrow disappear from my hand.

It may be that the surroundings are dim, but even so, the speed at which the shot arrows flew is unusually fast.

I don't really know because I'm not relative, but if it was Amu, I might have been able to do that. However, it is an art that can only be done because it is a player. Hundreds of meters of arrows flying through the ground, bows destroying walls, and so on would not normally be able to be pulled.

However, the bow Far El was using was considered a comparable bow. The sound of an arrow being fired is completely metallic.

"Huh?!"

Geez!!

Even if I could react the moment the arrow was fired, the moment the arrow was fired, the moment I could completely avoid the arrow had already passed. If we were to avoid it altogether, we would have to take evasive action before launching it, not after launching it. If Nil hadn't noticed first and caught me with a shield, at least one arm would have been useless.

"Grrrr!!"

It was Nil who came out in front of me and took the arrow with his shield slightly earlier than the arrow was released, but because he interrupted by force, his posture was bad and he fell backwards.

Even though I was in a bad position, I wouldn't normally be blown away by an arrow-like impact. Even if it's a woman, Nil.

But it happened. how powerful the bow is.....

I grabbed Nil's back, almost falling backwards, and managed to get back in position.

"... thank you."

No... If I hadn't fought Amu, I might have been too late...

We exchanged words, but we didn't take our eyes off Fowler's bow.

"Hugh! Take that!" Amazing! "

“This is the first time I've ever been taken completely unharmed.”

"It's not going to work without a rope." I knew it. "

The three of them are looking at me and Nil with a spare expression.

"What's going on...?"

"I don't know... but I'm pretty sure you have the power of a foreigner..."

I looked at it again, but the bow still looked like wood.

There is some wood in this world, like metal, and I can say that I didn't have enough predictions. But it was strange that I could pull that bow.

I was mistaken, and I was really a player...? If you are a player, there is no countermeasure because you have high physical abilities in the first place, but it doesn't look that way... but you might want to think of yourself as a player first.

I think it's better to assume that you're a foreigner...

"... yes."

I finish my conversation with Nil and put up my sword for the three of them again.

I was having a pale conversation, but it was pretty bad. If Nil hadn't helped us, we might have lost at that point. Although I didn't show any anxiety on my face, I felt a cold sweat passing through my back.

If I don't refocus...

Nevertheless... if Fa 'er has player-level power, then Yuborakos and Menuto should be considered to have the same power.

I thought it was about the Adventurer's Party at rank A, but it suddenly turned into a party.

However, even though we weren't supposed to be in a battle, could it have grown so rapidly? If you have the power of a player level, it's already the same as an S-rank adventurer.

Something... it feels like there's something crunchy.

Heine!

I know!

When I call Heine without looking back, the footsteps go away.

The power and range of Fowl's bow were far beyond our expectations. With that power, most defensive magic will be broken, and it will be very difficult to support us with magic. Then it's easier for Nil and I to fight than to go out of Fowel's range. Heine figured it out, and they moved away from me and Nil and out of Fa 'er's range.

"Oh dear, I'm gone." Are you sure it's okay? The two of us. ”

……………………

The three of them, after all, don't feel that threatened by standing and behaving. The opponent to be vigilant is that the standing behavior suitable for battle is infiltrated, and its strength is exuded from normal life.

Is it enough to say that all life revolves around it, pursuing only fighting? To make things easier to understand, it was the Four Ghosts on Ouka Island.

Even just walking, you can see the shadows of the steps that are the basis of each sword technique, and since it is normal to be distracted, you can also react to a little noise. In such a carefree place, it is a sign that you are a strong man. That's not because you're trying to master swordsmanship, but because you're an adventurer and you're quite strong, you start to breathe the same air.

Hydnese was originally an A-rank adventurer, so she had a fair amount of air around her... but it was quite inferior to the air surrounding the four demons.

In terms of players, only their physical abilities have increased, and many people are not prepared for effort and readiness, and because they have a different and unique atmosphere, I can somehow understand... or I feel different. In other words, I am most convinced by the image of the local people who gained the power of the player even though they are not the player.

Based on that assumption, it is reasonable to think that we are imparting power at a later stage when considering how we acquired power. I could assume that it would be a strengthening with magic tools, but the magic tools didn't have the ability to do this. Because it is only the ability to play an auxiliary role. It was the same with magic.

Another possibility is that they are wearing something like the player's gear, but are there really gear that can be extremely enhanced so far...?

The same is true of the weapons I used and the Sakurazaki sword I'm using now, but there are certainly weapons with special abilities. However, it is not something that can do anything by itself, and it has advantages and disadvantages, and the strength changes depending on the user.

Just wearing it will give you overwhelming power! What horrible gear there is not in this world… My knowledge is not everything in this world, and I may not have the gear I don't know.

Coming!

Damn it!

When I think about three people, three people move at the same time. The three of us were going to attack next.

Menuto shakes the battle horn, Yuborakos flips to the side, and Fa 'er takes aim from behind with arrows. It seemed like this was the base formation for the three of them.

It wasn't a bad move, and the formation was basically loyal, and I didn't see anything extremely bad. If this is the case, I'll be scolded even if I'm told to be the boss of the garrison around me.

"Nnnnnn!!"

Boom!!

I'll take the time to avoid the warheads being swung down. Even though I didn't know exactly what the opponent was capable of, I wasn't stupid enough to accept it with a sword.

* giggle *! * giggle * * giggle!

When the battleground touched the ground, it was obvious that Menuto's physique was unlikely, and the ground cracked.

It was like watching a giant strike. After all, not only Far El, but also the other two were wearing abnormal power.

However, because there is power, but it is not accompanied by strength, it seems that the power is not handled completely.

Assuming that this power is granted later on, these three... are not accompanied by the power that is granted to them... Chiguhag. First of all, there was no doubt that the power of retrofitting was the true nature of the unusual power.

Even if it is not the original power, it is still a troublesome power at the player level. In particular, Menuto would have been a man with a large body and strong power in the first place, but it was a terrible thing because it was giving him even more power. If we look at power alone, we can say that it is definitely better than Gana Saris.

Shit!

Boom! Boom!

Yuvolakos pushes the knife from my side, dodging backwards. The level of cooperation is not bad. If it is an A-rank party, it can be said to be a reasonable collaboration.

Pakiin!!

Gi-jin!

When I strike at Yuvolakos, the arrows that aim at it are fired from behind. Just waiting for it to happen, Nil entered the room, and now he took it firmly with his shield. The arrow slipped on the surface of the shield and changed its trajectory diagonally.

Hah!

I knew Nil would come in between, completely ignored the arrows, and ran the sword into Yuvolakos' protruding arm.

Gah!!

"Huh?!"

My blade definitely hit Yuborakos' arm. In the unprotected part, I waved my sword at the timing and force that had definitely cut off my arm.

And yet, what came into my hand was the feeling of a sword swinging down on a metal surface.

Bloody hell!!

"Ngh!!"

I flew back instantly, chasing Yuborakos, but I had no idea what was happening.

"It hurts..."

Yuvolakos lets out when he sees a shallow cut on the skin where the blade slipped.

"... what do you mean...?"

I only know that a strange phenomenon is happening, but I can't understand what is going on.

"I'm safe from Master's blow...?"

Nil also had a rather strange look on her face.

Defense by magic... doesn't seem like it...

With magic defense, your skin won't break. If you deploy defensive magic under the skin, the flesh and skin will be torn apart and it will be a big deal. In other words, it wasn't a magic tool either.

"... I don't know what's going on, but it's troublesome that the attack doesn't go through..."

I don't know if it won't pass completely, but at least I can see that it's almost intact with a simple attack with a sword.

Do you use poisoned weapons?

"... no. When I saw that there was no bleeding from where I slashed it, the blade probably didn't reach the vessel." If you use poison but don't have poison in your blood, you won't be able to take poison attacks.

If you use it, you can only use it by suction or by skin action. "

When that happens... it seems that it's difficult to defeat it with just poison...
