Yomigaeri no Maou

"... I thought I'd try not to ask... but who the hell are those three?

It was the leader of the caravan, Saufa, who said that with a flashing look at Lulu and Iris, and Zoe.

At the end of his gaze, besides the Lulu's, there were nearly twenty bandits tied with ropes and rolled to the ground.

They are all completely powerless.

"I don't know either... for now, because those guys seem to be pretty trusted by the upper echelons in the Northern Adventurers Union (Guild). There must be a lot going on."

Answered with the same expression as Saufa was Rava, an Adventurers Union (Guild) official and one of the escorts of this caravan.

Rava didn't seem to think of the Lulu people as this much, though he must be pretty strong at that age.

Of course, there are many talented young people who were born, and Rava never saw such a person in those adventurers' lives either.

So surprise in that sense, not so much.

But even though Moitz, the head of the Northern Union, and his aide Ivan had a heartbeat for his prowess, there are limits to the experience he could have had if he was young.

The strength of the Lulu men was such a line against the young men who fought only with the power and taste they were born into, even though it was not possible for them to be the best in the country if they had just strong arms and magic, or if they had mock warfare, or something like that.

Ravah was surprised by that.

Rava remembers the first time... that a bandit attacked him.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The caravan leaving Teram Nadia had been speeding for some time and traveling west down the street.

The road around Teram Nadia still only leads to the headquarters of the Northern Adventurers Union (Guild), because it was well maintained, with a wide road and easy to get out at speed.

As a result, the journey went well that day and the caravan earned considerable distance.

And when the sun came down, the caravan slowed down its progress.

Because I found out today that I don't have to spend so much time getting to the dormitory town where I'm taking a break.

Though the majority of them are carrying caravans of caravans, such as dragon horses and ground dragons, if they are too bad, they gradually get tired and eventually go bad.

For this reason, it was the basic idea of a caravan who often took a long journey to rest and not force him to do so when he could rest.

That's why we slowed down, but it was decided that this decision would call for something less good as a result.

The first thing I noticed about it was Nina, who was grinding on Iris' lap.

While lying on his back, his expression, which was pleasing to be caressed by Illis, became unusual and true, and his ears moved more tingly and raised his face, staring at a point in the woods beside the street.

"... oh? What is it, Nina?"

When Illis asks that, Nina says,

"Ki Woo! Kiku! Kiku!

and squeal and complain about something.

Unfortunately, however, Illis did not have the ability to convert and understand dragon ringing as a language.

I just kind of felt like I figured out what I wanted to say in that gesture.

He's pointing firmly into the woods, and he's a bit of a hasty face.

"... is someone coming?

"Ki Woo!

Perhaps, yes, it would be the chirping of the meaning.

Once again, Iris also looked to the woods, trying to sharpen his magic, and he could certainly feel the presence of man.

"My brother-in-law, Mr. Zoe. Someone seems to be a customer."

We both seemed to have noticed it already when they told us.

"Sounds like it. Do you have twenty? He came to say hello because he wanted to go through the neighborhood... it doesn't look like it"

"I can't believe people come near me hiding in the woods along these streets. The market is almost set... bandits, right?"

The conclusions the two came to are exactly the same as what Iris had in mind.

Maybe there's no zero chance that the hunters in the inn town we're headed to are in the woods as a group to hunt the big guys, but only to keep an eye out.

"... what shall we do? Shall I tell the escort of this caravan?

That's what Illis said, because for once, the Lulu didn't mean to be an escort.

The caravan's escort is separate from the Lulu's and their leader is Ravah.

"That would be better. I'm sorry we took our jobs out of our hands..."

"Well, I'll be there. You two continue to be vigilant. Nice to meet you."

That's what I said, Zoe walked out of the carrier.

Even though the speed is slower than it was shortly after leaving Teram Nadia, the carriage the dragons are towing is never slow.

It's normal not to be intact to jump off a ride running at such a speed.

If you are telling other carriages that an emergency has occurred, it is common for them to give a signal determined by the bell you have.

Nonetheless, Zoe seemed willing to go tell Rava with her own mouth.

True, that's definitely the surest way to do it, but it's usually considered extremely dangerous.

And that's how there was one person with common sense thoughts in the carriage of the Lulu's.

It's Paula.

Paula was a little tired of being rocked by a carriage for a long time, sleeping until earlier, but apparently woke up with the voices the Lulu's were talking about.

I was listening to Lulu's conversation with a blurry look.

He seemed a little sleepy out of his wake, but he seemed completely awake where Zoe popped out of the carriage.

"Zo, Mr. Zoe!? Hey, hey, are you okay?!?

It is a voice close to screaming and a purely worried dialogue.

Lulu and Iris replied smiling at the reaction.

"It won't be a problem. Zoe is superior."

"He's one of our most skilled adventurers."

They said it, and Paula also remembered the ranks of Zoe's adventurers.

Sure, a special adventurer wouldn't have a problem doing that much.

But it didn't immediately come to mind that she was an adventurer with so many arms, only a regular, seemingly normal adult woman.

In the first place, Paula was the first thing I saw in front of me, such as a premium adventurer.

I haven't seen it in the long run, but it's actually Zoe's first time in conversation.

And the impression I felt when I talked to her was that she was a pretty normal woman.

Common sense, caring and gentle.

The eyes that look at Lulu and Illis have an atmosphere like the eldest daughter staring at her siblings in hand.

The body shape, it's out there somewhere, but it's basically luxurious and doesn't look like the kind of person who makes battle his business.

You can say that only the long and heavy looking spear you have teaches you that she is a warrior.

So I was still a little anxious to be told, because she is the most skilled adventurer of all.

By the way, it is the word of Illis, who says he is the most handsome, but if Zoe hears it, he will shake his head loudly.

The way I put it has a narrative, my experience as an adventurer certainly knows that I may be at the top of this, but it will be determined at the bottom in strength, he said.

But Paula, not knowing that, believed that Zoe was probably the strongest of these threesomes.

Paula is

"Well, that's fine... yeah, just now, someone's approaching..."

Nodding, bring the topic back to earlier Lulu's conversation.

Lulu is

"Oh. Probably a bandit. The caravan has a lot of armored escorts, and they're talking about hard-to-target stuff, but if it works out, you can go for a thousand bucks, right? I guess that's what it is. Hey, in a way, they're courageous and decisive."

Lulu not so bright in contemporary adventurer circumstances, but I remember once I asked Rusty and Gaya, senior adventurers.

When I stopped and took a break around noon, it was the latest in lululu and general knowledge in adventurer terms, even when public discourse was heard from Ralva and Saufa.

"In addition to that, it would seem either you are so confident in your arms or you are an idiot who can't think of my difference in power... which one is it?

That's what Illis says and takes the story of Lulu.

It didn't matter either way from the Lulu's, but from Paula's, it's an important fact that separates life and death.

He asked in a panic.

"Well, which one is it?

to that word, Lulu thought a little,

"Hmmm... from the way you hide the signs, it's not bad. Isn't that the former? I guess."

Go on. Iris, too,

"It's an odd encounter, my brother-in-law. I thought I wasn't either."

Say such horrible things.

I mean, if that's the case, then this caravan is in the middle of being targeted by a bunch of unlucky, fairly capable bandits.

"Isn't that a lot!? Why are you so calm?

Wherever Paula cries out, neither Lulu nor Illis is the wind that blows.

"Hey...... well, we'll figure it out. Even Ravah is talking about ordinary adventurer conversions with advanced powers, and the other escorts were inside. Yeah, they're not gonna do that."

"Yeah, we talked about it during the break, but you guys were good adventurers. No one was going to make a hole, and you don't have to worry about it so much."

Like that.

Then, Lulu and the others started talking about the specialties of the Inn Town, which they plan to reach today, that have nothing to do with the bandits, and told Paula,

"I'm talking about that being delicious, what does that taste like? I can't really imagine how it would look if we just talked. In terms of food around Wang Du, what's closest?

"I heard the baked goods are a thriving town, can you take them home if you buy them? I would appreciate it if you could pack it so it doesn't crack... I would also like to ask for delivery if I can..."

I'm going to shake the story that I said, etc.

The appearance was as if I had forgotten about the existence of bandits and such.

"More..."

Paula pounds, and snaps.

to that voice, Lulu and Iris leaned their necks,

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?

I said that, so Paula screamed, again.

"More sense of crisis ~!"

But such a cry is utterly futile.

They laughed deeply, haha, ugh, and again, went back to talking about cooking and souvenirs.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Shit, and I heard a strange noise from the outside, and Rava tilted her neck.

It was not the sound of every wagon running, but the sound of something falling in front of it.

And shortly afterwards, the front of the carrier opened up so badly that Rava was surprised.

"... who!?

I shouted so with my hands on the pattern of swords in my hands, because they usually don't exist much, such as the one who opens the front of the carriage in progress.

If you insist, it's about a bandit trying to break in, and that's why who was what.

But it wasn't the bandits who came in, it was the familiar faces.

It is Zoe, one of the guests of this caravan, with silver hair and red eyes.

"Sounds like you surprised me. I'm sorry."

To Zoe, who honestly apologizes, Rava says as she lowers her hand on the pattern.

"What, you... don't surprise me. I mean, you were in the carriage behind the three of them, right? How did you get so far..."

That's what I said, because there's no sign of magic at all from Zoe.

If she is strengthening her body, it is not so strange, but she has come this far with her vegan physical abilities.

That's not so easy.

But Zoe's answer was so frightening.

"Well, of course I've been jumping over your front. It was easy because it was going pretty well at the same speed."

Ravah heard that, what are you doing, this guy, at the same time, I'm surprised he's too light.

Sure, the caravan of the caravan is progressing at the same speed, but it's quite a distance away.

Think normally, it's not the kind of distance you can fly away without using physical enhancement either.

But Zoe's actually here, and she's not strengthening herself.

I just had to think it was done.

Besides, it's not what matters now, Ralva answers as she switches her head.

"Zoe, I think you'd rather be a bender than an adventurer... So, what can I do for you?

Yes, I wouldn't do this without meaning, no matter how clever the bender is physically capable.

There's something I need to tell you quickly, and she should be here.

That's the question I was asking.

Zoe answers Ravah's questions in a short way.

"There are about twenty bandits and thinkers in the woods."

To that word, Ravah's expression turned into a sharp one.
