At night, Burlin and I were doing preparatory exercises in a Western-style building and a place in the center of the village.

From now on, I thought that it would be indispensable to prepare for the Western-style building of Nea, so I prepared as much as I could in my free time.

 

"Bulllin, it's full of enemies outside and inside, be careful."

"Guar"

 

Don't worry, as long as you can count on me.

...... There are probably zombies roaming around and inside the mansion.

I don't know if there are people who are being manipulated, but if you think that they are also coming, you will be stuck in a poor infiltration.

 

"Usato, I've seen the people in the village."

"How was it?"

 

Just then, Amako, who had asked me to go check on the villagers, came back.

Depending on her report, we can or cannot do it.

 

"They were all there, and I think he wasn't trying to get the villagers involved."

「...... Oh I see? Is Nea trying to deal with us with Aluk and the zombies alone? Do you think that's enough, or do you have enough hidden gems to not have to take ...... hostage?"

 

Either way, we're still going to help him.

If there are no villagers, I'll do it.

 

"The horses are fine, and I think the luggage at Tetra's house is fine, and this is it."

 

Amako held out something like a cloth belt. It looks like it has been torn from a curtain or something, and it looks frayed in some places.

Take it and confirm her intentions once again.

 

"Are you sure you're okay?" It's amazing to be shocked and all sorts of things, isn't it?"

"I want to help Aluk-san, and besides, I'm used to it, no matter how crazy Usato is."

 

It's a powerful word that I can't believe is the girl who said she was scared when she jumped off the third floor last night.

Without daring to say anything, he turns his back on her and crouches down. Then, Amako approached me silently from behind, put her arms around my neck, jumped lightly, and climbed on my back. I slowly stood up after confirming that Amako had firmly fixed her body with her legs tightly hugged around her waist.

 

"It's not as much of a problem as I expected."

 

To put it simply, I put Amako on my back.

This is my and Amako's plan. Amako predicts, and I move. If they mesh well, it can be a combination that would make it impossible for any opponent to hit us.

 

"Okay, let's fix it with a cloth as it is."

 

With the cloth received, fix the waist and torso area to a degree that is not tight.

...... After all, it's light with its petite appearance. As for the weight, it's almost nothing for me.

 

"Is there anything painful about it?"

「...... Usato, I don't think anything of it."

"What? ...... Hahaha, it's about three years too early to worry about such things--"

 

The arms around his neck tighten and tighten.

It's hard to hold your breath, so don'...... stop. As he tapped the hand around his neck while turning blue in the face, he relaxed his arm as if he was done with it.

 

"There's no next time."

「...... Huh?, oh, yes."

 

Amako put her mouth to my ear as I was breathing heavily, and murmured in a voice that couldn't be colder.

Oh, I replied in a trembling voice, but what's this? Unknowingly, my life and death are in the hands of Amako?

I've heard that women's anger is terrifying, but I didn't want to know it at this time.

 

"Bulllyn, are you ready?"

"Grua!"

 

Bulllyn screams as his huge blue body shakes.

Apparently, this one is ready too.

 

"Amako, you concentrate on your foresight, and as long as I'm here, I won't let any attack or sabotage come to you."

"It's okay, I'm not worried."

 

Okay then.

I also lined up with Bulllyn and turned towards the Western-style building where Nea was.

The plan is simple: beat Nea at once and release Aluk and the zombies.

Liberate the villagers...... I mean, there's still a question in my mind, so I'm not going to say for sure.

I don't know how she intends to live for 200 years as a village girl, Nea, in place of Tetra's daughter.

But regardless of that, the companion will be returned.

 

"Come on...... Let's go!!"

"Guoooooo

 

Amako's strength to cling to me becomes stronger, and at the same time, she takes a step forward.

 

 

 

As soon as you start running, you can see the Western-style building.

On the third floor of the Western-style building, in the hall where Amako and I jumped last night, there is only one light, so we can see that she is inviting us to that place.

I can see dozens of zombies around the Western-style building, but they don't matter to me now. I'm not the one they're dealing with.

 

"Bulllin!! I'll leave it to you to clean up the dew!!"

"Grua!!"

 

Bulllin jumps out in front of me and pushes forward while ramming the zombies that stand in his way. The scene was like a traffic accident. If the opponent is not a zombie, it will be a powerful force that is sure to cause serious injury.

However, the opponent is a zombie that can keep moving if it has a body. Even if the bones are broken and dented, they will get up again and again.

We don't have time to deal with them every time.

Leaving the outside to Bulllin, Amako and I charged into the Western-style building as it was.

 

"Don't think you'll come in after a polite knock, Neaah!!"

 

Kick down the door that has been carefully repaired and blow away all the zombies that were waiting inside.

 

"Three bodies on the right, one on the left, three on the stairs."

"Okay, I'm going to hit you."

 

At the same time as listening to simple instructions from Amako, he slams his fist into the four zombies attacking from the left and right at the same time, and crashes into the wall.

If you know where you're coming in advance, it's easier to deal with.

 

"Keep it up."

 

If you run up the stairs, three zombies will appear as predicted.

He calmly grabs the hand of one of the zombies who has come out, swings it with his arm strength, and slams both zombies to the ground, incapacitating them.

 

"It's a straight line, it's on the third floor, there's no one in front of the door."

 

Cheng Cheng, is there no one?

At Amako's words, he increased the speed of his ascent of stairs and braked in front of the third floor at once.

 

"Hey Usato, what are you doing--"

"Hey, instead of saying hello, it's just a small thing."

 

He doesn't care about Amako, who is confused, and clenches his fists.

The fact that our companion Alc was manipulated, and that our journey was almost ruined.

And there's no way I'm not angry.

 

"I'm here as promised!" Withdrawn vampires!!"

 

He slams his fist against the wooden door with a roar.

The fist, which was wielded without any effort, did not break through the door, but instead blew away the clasp that held it in place.

 

"I've been here a lot--it's dangerous!?"

 

Nea, who was behind the door, was probably waiting for us with a relaxed face, but suddenly the door blew open at her, and she screamed in horror and rolled to the floor.

The door slammed into the window side of the great hall, leaving a large hole in it.

 

"Oh, my house...... Hey, hey! There must be a way to get in! Hey, it was hard to fix!?"

"You know what?! I'm not free enough to care about you! Hit it before anything is done!!"

"Huh!?"

 

Regardless of Nea's accusation of changing his blood phase, he turns his clenched fist into a sword and tries to take away his consciousness.

 

"Usato no good!!"

"Huh!!"

 

Amako stops me as I approach right in front of Nea and raise my sword.

At the same time as the voice, I noticed someone approaching from the side, and I hurriedly moved away from Nea, and saw a sword that must have been swung down with all my strength stuck in the place where I had been earlier.

Red hair shining in the dark, a rugged sword that glows dull in color.

And heavy armor that I didn't wear before I came here.

Mr. Alc stood as if to protect Nea, who was breathing heavily, and looked at him with vacant eyes.

 

"Oh, it was dangerous. It's a game change."

 

She got up with a proud look on her face and casually hid behind Mr. Alc while giving me a provocative smile.

Seeing an opportunity, I tried to move with the thought that if I could take Nea's consciousness, Alc's body would shift in the direction I was trying to jump out of.

 

「...... Are you not going to let me go, Mr. Alc?"

「......」

 

Speechless.

Even if he is under the control of Nea, he is trying to protect what he is supposed to protect. For many years, he has served as a guard at the gate of the Lingle Kingdom, and his "protection" is not easy to outmaneuver.

 

"Huh...... I don't know."

 

With a sigh, I thought that I couldn't attack Nea any more, so I lowered my raised hand.

Perhaps relieved that I had released my stance, she looked at me with a relieved expression and tilted her head when she saw the amako I was wearing.

 

"I ...... that you guys look good, so Amako is concentrating on prescience."

「...... Did you hear it from Mr. Aluk?"

"Of course, and I've heard a lot about Usato."

 

After all, has it become known?

I wish I could have defeated him on the first contact before it got any more troublesome.

 

"You've been summoned from another world, haven't you?"

"Yes, I'm not a resident of this world. I really didn't want you to know, but I can't help it."

 

Go with the straight attack, first stun Mr. Alc and then hit Nair.

In order to do so,

 

"Amako, I'm sorry to hear that, but I'll get you down a bit."

「...... I get it."

 

I can still deal with zombies, but it's tough for me to deal with Aluk in this limited space with Amako on my back.

I still don't know how powerful his real flame magic is.

The first thing that comes to mind when it comes to what would happen if he really unleashed his fire magic is Mina's explosive magic when she fought Nak in Luxvis. If the wide-ranging magic she handles is unleashed, I can't say that Amako on her back will be unscathed, let alone me.

I asked Amako to get down and I moved into a position where I could fight, and Mr. Arc silently raised his sword.

 

"You know, I'm not going to mess with you, are you? I've heard all about your prowess, your strength, and your toughness, and I'm going to ask him to fight for you. And I just gave him a little bit of a hand."

"Did ...... lend a hand?"

 

...... Did you do something to Mr. Aluk? What's the point of wearing that tasteless armor?

Looking at him, he seems to be the only one who has changed except for his hollow eyes and the armor that covers his entire body.

You don't know until you fight.

 

"--Do it."

"Huh!!"

 

At the same time as her voice, Mr. Alc slumped down at once and jumped out at him.

The surface of the sword is covered in flames, and it can be seen that it contains a sharpness that would easily cut through the slasher.

 

"Alc-san......!"

「......」

 

He dodges the blow from above by throwing it backwards, while wrapping his healing magic in his fist.

My healing spell didn't work against zombies, but it worked against living people. Knock him unconscious with a healing punch.

To do so, you must grasp his sword and dive into his bosom.

I was able to take the fight against Halfa at the academy because he used a club, but this time my opponent is a sword, and if I hit him, I can cut it. It's simple, but it's completely different.

Besides, Mr. Arc is a master of the sword. If you jump in carelessly, you can be fatally injured.

 

"What?!"

 

The slashing of the sword, which was covered in flames that seemed to thrust up from below, grasped the tip of my nose.

If you hit something like that, you're not going to get burned. I don't think Nea has any intention of killing me, but she seems to think it's okay to kill me more than halfway.

Even if he is half-killed, he is confident that he will be able to recover with healing magic. But I don't want to be cut by a sword with flames.

At this time, let's abandon our mercy and mercy for Mr. Alc and go to stun him at once.

 

"I'm sorry, I'm going to hit you."

 

Keeping an eye out for the aftermath of the flaming sword, she dives into his bosom as he swings his sword to the side, grabbing the right hand of the sword and slamming the healing punch of his left hand into his breastplate.

A solid response and shock pierces Alc's body.

 

"With this--"

 

When he tries to put it into words, a mysterious pattern appears on Alc's breastplate.

A pattern similar to the magic when I was restraining my body. It flickers as if it moves to the center of the breastplate and to the feet.

It's as if the attack I gave to Mr. Arc was swept away.

 

"Oh, no way!? --!"

 

After a moment of agitation, Mr. Ark placed his left hand on my abdomen, which was different from the one holding the sword.

Bad, the moment I thought so, everything was too late.

 

"Damn it...... Huh?"

 

Just as I was painfully applying healing magic to my whole body, a compressed fireball spewed out from my palm, and a shock hit my body.

The impact of the fireball in my abdomen was more than enough to away, and helplessly I crashed into the wall next to the door I had kicked and slammed my back into the armor that was still on display.

 

「...... Huh?"

"Usato!!"

 

I get up, holding back Amako from rushing towards me in a hurry.

The clothes on his abdomen are black and soot-stained, but there are no holes or scratches.

I ...... that I didn't need to apply healing magic because I only got hit by the impact and didn't suffer any burns.

 

「...... I didn't expect that not only healing punches, but also fists wouldn'...... work."

"Well, why are you almost unscathed ......?"

 

I can only say that I am trained in that question.

In the first place, it was nothing to me who endured Rose's fist. But what is the armor that Alc is made to wear? I know it's not my ability as a vampire or a necromancer.

The first thing you can tell from that pattern is...

 

"Witchcraft, or the second ......."

"Correct!"

 

Nea was happy to be hit, but with a big smile, she thrust her index finger at me.

 

"The armor he's wearing contains my characteristic 'Resistance Spell', and it's easy to perform, and it parries all the attacks I've incorporated into my technique. But there's a downside to this, you can only build in one resistance, and it has to be limited, so it doesn't have much effect or scope. ...... It's a poor spell that's too inconvenient to use and doesn't have many opportunities to play an active role."

 

It's not easy to use, isn't it?

It's the worst kind of magic for me. If all the punches with fists and kicks with the legs are swept away, there is nothing we can do about it.

Perhaps sensing my thoughts, she puts her hand to her mouth with the corners of her mouth distorted like a crescent moon.

 

"Fufufu, if you want to immobilize Mr. Aluk, you can take the sword or axe that is there and attack him, okay? After that, yes. You might even use offensive magic! If only you could kill Mr. Aluk! Hahaha!!"

 

...... In other words, physical attacks with physical techniques are meaningless, so stop him with other lethal weapons. That's impossible.

And the fact that I casually cite offensive magic because I know I can't use offensive magic is rooted in the fact that I tried to settle it in the first place.

Moreover, it comes with a very annoying smile.

 

"Huh, did you seal the physical arts after the magic? As expected, there is nothing I can do about it now."

"Then I recommend giving up, even if I defeat Mr. Aluk, I still have a trump card. No matter what you do in this situation, my victory will not be shaken."

 

Give it up、...... I'm going to give up.

...... Hah.

 

"Don't be silly, little girl, I will never abandon you, and I will never give up. Don't think I'm going to stop when I can't use my fists or kicks anymore."

 

Strip off the arms of the broken armor and put them in both arms.

Iron hand back. I don't think he can withstand it so many times, but he should be able to take Aluk's flaming sword as well.

He ruffles his hair with his hand and glares at Nea behind him.

 

"You seem to know me by knowledge, but you can't know everything I've had since I came to this world, everything she's taught me."

「...... Oh, that's why I'm going to catch you--"

"Even if you force yourself to ask? That is, if you can catch it. And I'll tell you one thing you don't know. I'm a competitive person."

 

Now, it's the first time I've ever received a knife, let alone avoided it.

A moment's carelessness can lead to a fatal injury......

After slamming both fists to check the tone, I took a deep breath and raised my fist to face Mr. Alc again.

Anti-Usatmeta Armor Knight ARK VS Natural Monster Monster UST

The second round begins.

 

The magic of resistance is the so-called flawed magic.

Since you can only limit the target of the spell to one target, and the resistance and range that can be specified are quite limited, it feels like Nea is used against zombies and manipulated objects.

 

 

Today(?) The Wrong Use of Healing Magic, Volume 1 has been released.

The details are included in the activity report, along with the character name change I wrote in the introduction.
