Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 634: "Singing Forest"

The task of creating a map while looking at what is invisible is not so difficult when you actually look at it.

The larks and lapis lazuli use the technique to check the dragon vein (rayline) flowing to the ground and walk close to its edge. The cartographers recorded the location. That's all there is to it.

Sucker! I don't have any glue!

However, the guards guarding them are so busy that they don't have time to breathe.

Lettie was a hammer on her hammer's head and scooped away the shadowy black gorilla that was attacking her. However, immediately after they were blown apart, three new cats attacked from all directions.

Ledge-san, I need a light!

"The chiffon is full!" Wait a little longer! "

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Because I have a flashlight, I can pay some attention. However, a limited amount of light cannot cover a sufficient range. If one spot is lit, the other will be defenseless and there will always be battles happening somewhere in the formation.

After all, didn't it make sense to bring just one large light?

Lact complained as he fanned out the arrows of the ice.

In response, Ai answered with a violent singing that knocked out the surrounding black shadow gorillas.

"I can't. He needs two to move and three to escort him." In the first place, if you move one of them, it will attack the encampment. ”

"Nuuuuuuu..."

By the time I left, the forest house was defenseless. A powerful illumination of lights was needed to stop the black shadow gorillas from staring at the opportunity from the darkness.

"Can you give me a hand with anything?" I'm pretty close already! "

Chiffon was crying when she was dealing with about five black shadow gorillas.

I'm backing her up with the lights, but no matter how much I defeat her, she's coming at me endlessly.

If there's a lot of them, the pattern will increase, so it's tricky!

"Amy! Thank God!"

Amy jumps out in front of the chiffon and hits the black shadow gorilla. The clean punch dented the monkey's face and pushed it back into the darkness.

"After all, shouldn't we take any measures?" Just by dealing with black shadow gorillas, I can't deal with iron arm gorillas and new protozoa. ”

That's true, too.

I nod to Toka's words.

Fighting while protecting non-combatants is tougher than I thought, with minimal personnel. If anything unexpected happened, it was highly probable that the situation would be lightly destroyed.

"Reggie, do something."

"I don't care what they say." I can't even pull out a tent right now. "

Lact will turn to us for help, but I am not such an omnipotent investigator.

Although the [Wind Fang Flow] has a technique that has a high attack ability against the group, it is still difficult to deal with the black shadow ape that is attacking from all directions.

"Ai-san, can't you just sing your own song?"

Cha-cha-cha. Singing battles aren't that easy.

Um...

It seemed that Lettie was also counting on Ai's strength, but she was easily kicked by herself.

"Was it Eye's Singing Battle (Battle Song)?" By the way, I haven't seen much of it. ”

I know that I am using BBB and so on in a single shot, but I have not seen me using it firmly in actual combat.

Usually, Ai's direct singing team is deployed to support allies with pure [singing] skills that are not singing battles.

"Ugh. You don't really want to show it to people..."

In contrast, Eye frowned at the pain. It seems to her that she doesn't want to do much.

"Is there any disadvantage?"

"It's a disadvantage..." I can't communicate verbally during singing battles. ”

I see, nodding.

Singing combat is literally the incorporation of singing into combat. Sing as you fight, sing as you fight. It is a style of fighting with continuous support and disruption around.

As a result, you cannot utter words during battle, making it difficult to coordinate.

It was originally a group support skill that was put to individual combat use.

I see.

Then there was no choice. It was just then that I was convinced. A small window suddenly appears to signal an incoming call. The caller was Astra, who was supposed to be outside the depths.

"What's the matter, all of a sudden?"

Hello, Ledge. I think it's about time the cartographer had a problem.

When I was told that the opening was the first thing, I accidentally felt squeaky.

They can't be looking straight at us, but they seem to have a perfect grasp of our trends and circumstances.

You know what I mean.

This is also the Knight Commander. Probably because of the small number of personnel, the black shadow gorilla attack is full. "

"Yeah, I was just wondering what's going on."

Having said that, Astra replied in a bright voice that was just right.

Instead of asking what's just right, he goes on.

Please let Ai sing and fight. That should hold back the Black Shadow Ape's assault for now. ”

"Huh!?"

Inadvertently raise his voice in surprise.

Astra's voice gathered around me, but I didn't mind returning to the telephone window.

I just told you that you can't use singing battles.

That's a lie. Because singing combat is a fighting style with a high ability to attack against groups. "

"Yeah... but Ai--"

I'll tell Astra what I just heard from Aye. As the Commander of the Knights, he couldn't have grasped the Vice Commander's abilities.

When Astra heard it, she let out a laugh that seemed to pushed her to death.

Really? I see. I'll try to convince you a little bit. If that's no good, please give up and do your best. "

"Yeah..."

Immediately thereafter, communication is interrupted.

In a daze, a telephone call came to the eye standing next to her. It was probably Astra.

"Huh!?"

Ai looks at us with astonishment at what the Commander has told him.

"No, but... Of course not for Mr. Ledge... I can't! I can't!" Really... you idiot! "

Covering her mouth with her hands, Ai kept her voice down and was arguing. It's not the usual firm conversation, it's a tone of voice that feels like a quarrel between siblings.

Lettie and the others turned a little towards her as she continued to fight.

"But... ugh. I get it, yeah.... haa"

After a few minutes of talking, the eye closes the window in a relaxed manner.

I don't know, but did Astra succeed in persuading Eye?

Ai-san, are you okay?

"Oh, yes. I'm fine. Yes."

As she asked Leti how she was worried, Ai responded by raising her hand loosely. That's how I sighed for a long, deep breath.

Inhale again and raise your face. There is a similar determination in my eyes to give up.

"From now on, I will sing and fight." Please tear the tympanic membrane apart. "

"What are you talking about!?"

She shook her head convinced by the instructions given in a plain tone. Singing and fighting are such dangerous substitutes.

"Or plug it tightly with your earplugs!" Anyway, don't hear my voice! "

I can't! I can't move like that!

Particularly from Letty, there was a violent backlash.

Of course. She's a rabbit-type lycanthrope, and she's especially dependent on her hearing.

"No. Are you sure you can't?"

"No, why don't you want to be asked so much?"

"W-Well, that's..."

In the middle of Lettie's straight question, Ai jams her words.

I tangled my fingers with my fingers and pointed my lips downward.

"...... I'm sorry."

Yes?

”Hah, it's embarrassing!”

As Leti drew her ears closer and listened, Ai shouted in an air-breaking voice. Hearing a loud voice in her sensitive ear, Letty leapt up in tears.

Higiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

"That's a serious reason!" It's a shame to be alive! "

The reason why Ai didn't sing and fight in public was that he didn't seem to be good at singing in public.

When Letty opened her mouth and was shocked, Ai turned her face bright red.

"I'm not a professional singer, I'm just an amateur, I'm not an amateur or anything like that." If I was fighting while singing as a hobby, it was just a battle style that I happened to be able to do..... "

Ah, Ai-san?

An eye that shudders and connects words like a curse. Lettie was also puzzled by how weak she was that she could not have imagined from her usual lethargic appearance.

"If I wrote the song, my brother would find it and show it to my parents, and if I sang it in the bath, my neighbors would hear it, and if I tried to have a light voice at school, I wouldn't have gathered members..."

"Hey, Ai-san!? Calm down!"

Letty grabbed the shoulder of Eye, who was beginning to speak dangerously, and shook it back and forth.

"Well, if you don't like it that much, then it's okay." Let's do our best, Letty! "

"Ugh..."

Eye is hugged by Letty and slapped on her back. Together with the difference in physical stature, it was like a sisterly sight.

However, when Ai calmed down, he tied his mouth and looked up at me.

“Mr. Ledge, how was my music?”

She asks.

I was asking her to sing and dance with the Wade and the Custodians when I hosted the Feast of Ten Thousand Nights. Aye said he didn't want to get tired in public, but he made something wonderful for me.

Think back to the time and give your honest thoughts.

"Good. Very good."

"... I see."

Is that enough for you?

Anyway, Eye nodded slightly and moved away from Letty's arm.

"Once again, we will now sing and fight." Please don't laugh too much. "

Having said that, Ai puts the rapier in the hip sheath.

Instead, they took out a giant flag that exceeded their height. A blue flag with the pattern of the Knights of the Great Eagle.

"Phew..."

She exhales and inhales again.

Inflates the chest and plays the tone from the bottom of the stomach.

"Nay, nay, nay, nay." on my mother's chest... "

What spread out was calm rhythm. Gentle tone.

It spreads into the cold darkness and melts away.

It's a famous lullaby.

"Nay, nay, nay, nay." In my mother's hands... "

Aye's singing echoed through the woods.

The singing is beautiful and very beautiful.

That's ridiculous, laughing. Lettie and the Lapis Lazuli were unexpectedly stopping and listening.

”Kororokiiiiii”

A moist singing sound that creaks inside your chest.

At that time, there was a rumbling sound in the nearby darkness.

"Ugh! This is--"

It was the black shadow gorilla that was falling.

With a restful expression, he slowly raised and lowered his chest.

”Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

There is a continuous sound of falling.

The black shadow gorillas collapsed everywhere and fell into a deep slumber as they pointed the flashlight light around them.

Ledge, that's it!

Lact speaks to us with a low voice so as not to disturb Eye's singing voice.

She pointed to the dark corner of the forest.

A giant reddish-brown giant floats as it points the light at it.

Iron-armed gorilla...!

I didn't have a spear, but with my long arms and legs moving, a giant monkey came to me.

As soon as the air filled up, Letty and the others set up their weapons.

It was then.

"Nay, nay, nay, nay." on my mother's chest ""

Tang, light footsteps.

A small shadow leaps in the dark.

A large banner flashed and she appeared in front of the iron-armed gorilla.
