Episode 422.

Due to the development of the game, the point of view changes a little more often.

At first, we will send you from Claude's point of view.

I've been training as a martial artist for many years, but I've never met a guy who is so serious about self-improvement.

Rose ...... of the Kingdom of Lingle I don't know if his master made him do that, or if he always did, but I thought it was terrifying.

What I can assure you is that he's not a genius or anything as simple as that.

After all, genius is because there is a prior recognition that "it is not strange to do so."

 

He's a genius, so he can do this.

 

Because he is a genius, he is convinced no matter what he does.

 

But even more terrifying than that genius is the one who has no idea what he's going to do until he fights in front of him.

An ordinary person who has no reason or background to do so will calmly slam his fist on the side without any preliminary movement.

I found out the other day that he, a boy named Usat Ken, is that kind of person.

 

"Brave men! Bet on your pride! Compete with each other!! I want you to aim for victory! Now for the first test, let's begin!

 

"Has it begun......

 

With a wry smile on his face at the king's usual tense signal for the start, he proceeds into the city that will be the place of trials.

Carrying a cross spear with a safe wooden tip on his shoulder, he looked around and saw that he was in a city with limited visibility.

 

"A small number of elite soldiers are guerrillas, and those with squires are pincers?"

"Master, how do we act?"

 

The person who spoke to me while I was thinking was a student who followed me as a servant...... It's my granddaughter, Loa.

My granddaughter has the same flaxen hair as me when I was younger, and her head is more than two heads lower.

Unlike Tsuto, who became a scholar, I lightly answer the voice of my granddaughter, who aspired to be a martial artist.

 

"Basically, the battle will start as soon as you encounter it, and as long as you don't get cornered this time, you won't be brave enough to do something reckless, so you should relax your shoulders. …… Also, if you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa, okay?"

"I'm going to separate my public and private life."

"He's stubborn."

 

I'm not even 15 yet, but it's good that I'm solid.

In that sense, I'm glad I resembled him...... However, its weakness is that it tends to be flexible.

I hope there is something to be seen at this festival...... ———.

 

"What?"

 

I see a green light shoot up into the sky.

…… Is it the light of healing magic? If so, is it Usato's fault?

The magic bullet that pierced overhead swelled and burst with a large green glow——— coloring the clear sky like a green firework.

The healing particles that fall like snow make Loa's eyes light up in proportion to her age.

 

"Wow, it's beautiful, it's warm and comfortable...... This is ...... healing magic."

 

Distracted overhead?

No, I didn't do this for that.

Healing vibrations dull your thoughts.

If this wasn't an ordeal, I'd go and ask for treatment for back pain and various other things, but that's not the case.

 

"Whew."

 

With a peculiar disgust at the discrepancy between my calming consciousness and my tense body, I raise my voice to my granddaughter, who has completely let her guard down.

 

"Loa! Don't let your guard down!!"

"Ugh."

 

He holds a cross spear with a wooden tip and shows the utmost vigilance.

There is nothing unusual except this inexplicably raining down particles of healing magic...... There's no mistake about this clinging tension.

Something is sure to come.

Just as Loa was about to pull the spear out of his back in a hurry, I thrust the spear out of my eyes.

 

"What?"

 

The aim is next to Loa.

Seeing a slight electric current run, the spear thrust out without hesitation——— the tip of the spear was repelled by the wooden sword wielded by the brave Suzune, who was wearing a dazzling electric shock.

He already has three silver armbands in his hand——— and three have already been beaten!

 

"I'll do it!"

"That's ridiculous! Hey!!"

 

Before he could return his spear, Suzune the Brave stripped him of his armband and instantly disappeared from the scene.

All that was left was a stunned granddaughter and Gigi who had been beaten up as a young man.

 

「…… Haha! I've been beaten!!"

"Eh, oh, wow, I'm wearing an armband, what?!"

 

- Loa is upset when she sees her arm that has been robbed of her armband.

I call out to my granddaughter lightly.

 

"I don't care. If I could, I'd be more than human."

"Grandpa was reacting!!"

"It's a hunch, I can't react."

 

When I was younger, I didn't know it, but now I rely on my intuition.

I knew in advance that the hero Inukami would move at high speed due to magic, so I don't think it's unreasonable. But what I don't understand is how they knew exactly where we were.

 

「…… Are you the one who did it, Mr./Ms.? Usato"

 

There is no certainty.

But there was a feeling that fit the suspicion inside of me.

 

"Come on, you've been provoked this much, let's go get it back."

"Yes! …… Oh, yes!!"

 

I've been reminded many times that life is really interesting.

I thought this might be the last festival I would participate in as a hero, but it turned out to be more interesting than I imagined.

 

●

 

The healing diffusion bullet I unleashed exploded over the city, and the spread healing magic rained down on the entire field.

As a result, all the heroes and attendants reacted to my healing senses, and all of their positions were grasped--and then the healing that connected the magic to otherssympathySyncand let my seniors share the information I am feeling.

After that, the senior, who has grasped the information shared, activates the one-time Thunder Beast Mode 2 and reaps the armband in an instant.

 

"We're nine now, that's a great start."

"Yes."

 

On the roof of a house with a good view, he reaffirms that the operation was successful.

In the hands of the seniors are the six silver armbands held by each attendant.

I was able to gain an overwhelming advantage of 9 points, which was a total of 9 points, but on the other hand, it meant that I was targeted by all the forces.

 

"Did anyone react to you?"

"Claude, Leona, and Liz reacted as you warned, Claude and Liz were caught off guard and barely managed to steal from the squire, but Leona is right."

 

She raised her right hand lightly in admiration, and her hand was covered in frost, indicating that she had been attacked, although she was not injured.

I think it may have been the right decision to focus on the squire......

 

"It's her magic sense, apparently the same range as yours, but she has physical cold, so it's quite troublesome."

"I guess they took measures when they saw my healing bullet."

 

Even so, it is too good to be true.

After healing the hand offered by my senior, I put all the armbands I received from her on my arms.

 

"But can I have this alone?"

"I'd be glad I had it if it wasn't for my limitations, but I thought it would be better if you were the only one who had it if you were really going to win."

 

Well, the current seniors have used all the time they have been able to use Thunder Beast Mode 2 in this trial.

In that case, would it be more efficient for me to have one who can defend and escape?

 

"Okay, so let's go for it."

"Yes."

 

I stood in front of my seniors as planned, and I sat down lightly, and my seniors got on my back and put their hands on my shoulders.

Try not to notice that the moment you are in a shape that looks like you are going to be a senior, you can hear something like a rustle and cheers in the hall behind you.

 

"Name it, Tantousato-kun!"

"So, you're Cannon-senpai, aren't you?"

"Isn't that good for Cannon Tinne......? No, is it a tin cannon?"

 

What is a tank...... No, I don't think I'm wrong.

Pick yourself up and hold your seniors firmly.

 

"I'll leave the legs to you, and I'll take care of the fixed battery!!"

"Yes, leave it to me......!"

"Then, Usato-kun starts!!"

 

Kick the floor and jump forward.

He jumped off the house with his seniors on his back, and while falling, he kicked the wall with his right foot, which was wrapped in elasticity, and accelerated. Repeat the acceleration so that it pops from house to house.

 

"If you can handle elasticity so far, it's magic!"

"It's not so much that it's early, it's magic, too!"

 

When I went lightly ahead, I heard the voices of several people from the alley on the right.

Throw a healing magic bullet at the wall of the alley where you will come, and let your seniors share their healing senses.

 

"About 15 people, what are you going to do?"

"Of course we will break through! If there is a brave man, I will take the armband!"

"Got it!!"

 

As soon as we reached the alley, we were confronted by the retinue of the kingdom of Garga.

Noticing this, they agitate and pull out their bladed swords.

 

"What!? What are you carrying!?"

"Brave man! It's the brave on your back!!"

"It's funny!!"

 

Hmm? No Reval?

They are supposed to be the servants of the hero of the kingdom of Garga, but why is he not a hero?

No, if you look closely, there are two fewer people than the number confirmed in the first healing detection.

 

"It looks like Rival is acting separately from one of his squires!"

"Oh, then you don't have to deal with them!"

 

When he had made up his mind, he stepped forward with his right foot, which was clad in an elastic form, and flew over the heads of his followers.

One of them sees us landing behind them and turns his palm at us with his eyes peeled off.

 

"You guys are magic!"

"But ......!!"

"I've made so many blunders so far, and I'm going to get away with it!" Let them all go!!"

 

Did you cast magic with a clear intention to attack?

At the same time as the magic of well over ten attributes rushed towards us all at once, the senior on the back wore a white electric shock and held his hand in front of him in the shape of a finger gun.

 

"Thunder Beast Mode 0"

 

Lightning flashes instantly from the senpai's fingertips over and over again, and all the magic that approaches him is pierced.

 

"Specializing in precision shooting, this is the ...... of the Inukami Mr./Ms.!"

 

Precision shooting with improved reflexes and motor nerves!

It's not as flashy as Mode 2, but the name ...... cool!

 

"Then it's my turn!!"

 

Following my senior, I unleashed a bouncy right roundhouse kick forward.

The target is their feet!

 

"Healing elastic leg!!"

"Huh!? Healing magic flies from the feet...... Whew!?"

「!?」

"What!?"

 

The crescent-shaped magic slammed into the ground in front of them, causing them to fall with a burst of impact.

If it's a shockwave of healing magic, there shouldn't be a last-minute attack judgment! Probably!!

　

"Alright, let's go ahead!"

"Yes."

 

He tries to jump from the spot with his seniors on his back...... But there are three arrows from above and an invisiblesomething・・・is pouring down.

Sensing this, I dodged by jumping sideways, and before I could fall to the ground, the invisible attack disappeared and an arrow without an arrowhead pierced me.

 

"Sister! Avoided!!"

"Hmm."

 

Like us, kicking the house was Liz, the hero of the kingdom of Nesha, and on her back was Elisha with a ——— bow and arrow.

Senpai and Elisha raise their voices at the fact that they are running with each other's backs.

 

"Just like us!?"

"Huh, Usato-kun, this tactic is still effective! After all, there are other people who are practicing it!!"

 

Nea and Ferm were bashed, but if there are people doing the same thing, they can't complain.

 

"Elisha"

"Yes!"

 

! Did Elisha jump off Liz's back?

Elisha flies vertically and is thrown into the air, but she is still holding the arrowInvisible scaffolding・・・・・・・He leaped in the air and shot an arrow at me.

 

"I kicked ...... air!"

"Avoid!!"

 

He dodges the arrows as he backs up, but he's wary of Liz approaching him.

She ran towards him and swung her arms wide, and several black sticks flew out of the cuffs——— and they were all joined together into a club that was well over two meters long.

The tip was covered with an iron cover shaped like a blade, but it looked like a weapon that had been forcibly disguised as a non-lethal weapon.

 

"What, what's that!?"

 

Regardless of the senior's surprised voice, Liz slammed the club to the ground with all her might, lightly spinning her weapon.

At that moment, the stone ground of the highway is covered with cobwebs, shaking the ground greatly.

 

"No matter how you look at it, you're not a spear and bow hero, are you?!"

"I guess it was a spear because it had a long handle, but that's all I couldlong swordDaitoRight!! The one you often see in the Three Kingdoms! What's more, your intuition is a big hit! She's a gory power type!!"

 

Liz wields her sword lightly with one hand and tries to sweep away all the obstacles on the road.

In response, I step back and respond, but Elisha, who is back on Liz's back, shoots a series of arrows.

 

"Leave the arrows to me!!"

 

The seniors will drop it with a wooden sword, but it is also difficult to play tag with the seniors on their backs against them.

 

"Usato-kun! Undocked!!"

"Got it!!"

 

The senior jumped from my back and walked towards Liz, who was holding a large sword.

If my seniors are going to deal with Liz, I'm ......!

 

"For the time being, this way!"

"Give me back my armband!!"

 

We still don't know what kind of magic Elisha will use.

In that sense, she's even more unidentified than Liz, who currently fights by force.
