Usotsuki Senki, Meikyu wo Yuku

"Well, here we go."

It was Fukuran, a senior mid-level member of The Path of Glory (Gloria Road), who snapped so much when he heard the sound of a bronze clan announcing the start of a clan battle.

He bears his weapon, the cross spear, on his shoulder and pulls his mind together.

Intermediate and senior members are out on the defensive battle, and the senior middle is out on the defensive. Even bigger and more senior members are moving to take the other person's back. Kugutsu, the general, is consolidating his defense behind the line of defense that Fukuran and the others are putting up.

While conserving and protecting Kugutsu, the Admiral, he worked with the members who were circling behind him as soon as the results of the opponent were known to him and sandwiched him.

There are two parties here with ten senior inferiors. Two parties with ten advanced medians. There are more than twenty advanced adventurers in total.

Five parties with 25 intermediate superiors are sending them to the enemy. This is the stage where we are waiting for the results.

As far as their perception was concerned, this time it was to gain experience in clan battles.

There are few opportunities to gain experience in combat outside the labyrinth. Due to the nature of adventurers hunting demons, they are not used to full-scale battles between humans. It was the view of the clan members that they would have tried to gain experience safely with their underside opponents in case of trouble.

Fukuran, who had assumed the role of senior and below middle-level compiler because of the highest level and popularity of these members, was uncomfortable with one member.

There was one member wearing a hood so that he could hide himself.

Fukuran knows all the participating members this time. In the first place, the name matches the face of the clan member.

That's why I caught my eye on the person.

And frowns.

Not all senior staff participated, but some missed attendance due to unsuitable appointments or some circumstances. The person in the hood overlapped with the contour of one person who was supposed to have missed his participation.

"Hey, you."

"Bitter!?

He approached softly and shook his body frighteningly just by slapping him on the shoulder. I was half sure of that reaction, just in case.

"Hey, shall I take that hood?"

"Hiya!? Ko, this is no good...... ugh!?

The same goes for hearing a barbaric voice equal to a futile resistance and finding out who he is. If you look at the burning redhead who showed up taking the hood without putting his hair in it, you can be sure already.

"…… I knew it was Corona."

"Ah, haha............"

The one who got rid of the hood was a beautiful girl with red hair on top of her head.

Colo, whose identity was found, deceives the awkwardness with a laugh.

"How come again... you told me you shouldn't leave this time.

"To, Nina, right? Nina said she had a stomachache and we talked about taking turns!

"No, that's a lie, right?"

"Ugh."

Nor is Fukuran as simple as being fooled by Colo's nasty lies.

Nina is one of those people who interacts with Colo. It's too white to talk about her offering Colo a replacement because she's ill until the day before.

Nina's party members now seem to know all four of the circumstances, and she doesn't look surprised. I'm just bitterly laughing that you found out.

"Well, Nina selfishly told me to take her place. Oh, I couldn't help but say that Mr. Nina and everyone else at the party are not so bad!

"I'm not even going to get angrier now, but why are you doing that again?"

"Because..."

Actually, I know you showed it to them at their party, including Nina, but we're not going to pursue it there. While Colo seems sorry for his selfish behavior, he doesn't seem to be willing to pull it off. I say it back in a firm tone.

"I heard I was involved in this clan battle. And I don't want to wait without doing anything."

"…… well, I can't help it."

Fukuran shrugs his shoulders, for Christ's sake.

I can understand what it feels like. I guess I couldn't have stayed in front of the battle like I was being wagered. That's what she is. The straightforward temperament was a preferred one, and I didn't even feel like scolding it.

Most importantly, the game has already begun.

If it was within a clan member, it would not be fraudulent to change personnel. When Fukuran was judging whether it was good or not, he raised his voice unexpectedly.

"Wow, what is that!?

"Yeah? What. Is something wrong?

"Yes, no, Mr. Fukran. Look at that!

"……… What the hell?"

"Come on......?

The field begins to bother with the mysterious four-legged creature that appeared far away. Being crushed by the mouth is suspicion and surprise.

Only one person, Colo, had a different feeling.

"Wow."

Golden, nothing but a monster, no matter what you think. Seeing that, slowly you open your eyes.

My gaze is drawn to me and I can't let it go. I get the feeling that I think I'm out of place myself. Couldn't contain it, Colo stirred up pure emotions boiling from his chest and spilled them straight out of his mouth into words.

"Wow, beautiful"

Unlucky or lucky, no one heard of Colo's tongue-in-cheek crush.

"Ahahahahahahahahahahaha! Oh, my God, this is fun!

"Ha-ha-ha! You know what I mean, Kasmin?

There were two girls laughing on the vertical roll of Lil, a monster moving forward with a groan.

The invasion of the lils is a frontal breakthrough as declared. I don't think about hiding, I just think about kicking my enemies straight without dispersing my power. It seemed so painful to look down at the sight from the top, and Kasumi and Heeko laughed unstoppably. Maybe it's also a lot that the sensibilities between the two are off somewhere.

A multilegged form of a lil walking in a giant form that can be seen from afar. Instead of being so obvious and having no enemies or shit, it equals the advertising tower that is hustling about having enemies here. In fact, until earlier, members who seemed to be intermediate superiors of The Path of Glory (Gloria Road) were attacking the lils.

"Hey, hey, let's not do this! It's totally remarkable!

"Huh? Isn't that obvious? I'll do it on purpose."

It is Lil's decision that he cannot do such a lengthy thing, although the enemy is also a flavor of the clan battle. Even though they are overwhelmingly inferior in numbers in the first place, there is no point in the lils dispersing the personnel. They do this conspicuous thing on purpose to attract and destroy each while their opponents are dispersed.

So far, a total of twenty and a little bit of the opponents I've defeated. I was almost kicking that off by myself, Lil.

Since it was just nothing to do in front of him on top, Utena was supporting him with a mechanical bow that Kasumi had smelted with metal and steel thread, but even so far, it could be said that it was the result of a single lil. Given the previous information of thirty or more advanced people, you can assume that this has exhausted less advanced adventurers.

"I didn't mean to!

"Fine, easy..."

"But this is absolutely crazy! Plus if you stand out so far, it's time for your enemies to come together!?

"Hmm?"

It also makes sense to accuse Ace. The raid so far has been sporadic, but if nearly twenty people were crushed, the enemy would also have recognized the monster's threat of lil. The clan battle was a battle of generals in the first place. If Lil, the clanmaster, falls off, the more senior and more members left when Lil finds out he's there, than the loss of 'Infinite Lights (No Limit Glow)' will come together.

After figuring that out, Kasumi laughs a lot.

"Oh well. So, Eis, which one feels more dangerous? Enemy, you're doing it right. Isn't it time you expanded your sensing? I can't help it if I don't know where they are."

"Ah, that way! You can't go that way! There are many signs of danger..."

"All right, Mr. Lil, we're going that way! Probably more advanced than that. That's their nest over there! I'm gonna go in there before the other guy gets his attitude fixed!

"- Oh!?

Jesus' crisis-sensing abilities are real. The cowardice is up to the magical realm. Believing the word, Lil, who is in the cocoon, silently aligns the direction of travel with Kasumi's fingertips. To concentrate on this form of manipulation, the lil is silent when in the cocoon.

"Ugh... the leader tricked me."

"Donma"

"Let's live strong"

Even as he is consoled by Tegre and Chicka, who are fooled and half-baked and are similarly on foot, Ace sneaks out a breath of relief inside.

Because I could hide where I really shouldn't go.

The magic of Ace informs her of the danger. The magic was informing Ace of the overwhelming crisis.

Nor is the place I just said a lie. There is one sign of a first-rate glorious sense of dynamism on top of a collection of more than advanced signs. There's a scary spot where there's another strong sign of losing one of your heads before you get out of there. That would be where the kugz are. I didn't trick you because you pointed out where this clan battle would be the main battlefield.

The scariest place in this venue, though, is not where I felt the strongest signs.

……

Ace glances back at his back.

True opposite to the direction of travel of the lil. Where we came ourselves.

As a matter of fact, until earlier, signs of multiple strong men were about to take the back of the lils. He was probably trying to pinch it with the front. It is about the arrow tip that I wanted to warn of the movement.

Suddenly, a monster appeared.

I'm not talking about Lil. I'm still walking right in front of you. This is horrible, but the quality is different. Something sifting through a darker fear than the darkness of the labyrinth swirled with such horrible signs that you should never, ever really go.

So much fear that I didn't even want to realize it was there. Chills that freeze your body and mind just by touching one of the signs. If they told me that Reaper was there, Ace would have believed lightly.

It was only a short time before it appeared, and at the same time the signs of it disappearing, as well as the signs of us trying to get around behind ourselves, had disappeared beautifully.

What was that?

Ace didn't want to know.

"Not to mention the intermediate opponent. It's great to kick twenty, our clanmaster.... that? Speaking of which, where'd the old man from the circle go?

"I don't know. Isn't that him?"

"Shit... that old man, he torments people with his training, and he doesn't wander..."

"Uh, Utena was the best hit, wasn't she?"

"Do you like it?"

Listening to the member's chatter, Ace shook his body as he struck the remnants of a distant sign.
