All I need to do is understand the terrain and create a simple map.
Since we are exploring for the next purpose, which is to secure resources in the demon realm, it is essential to understand the terrain, and I am aware that I have a serious role to play.
……。
When the Demon King's army lost, I just thought that my fate was a bastard.
It was natural for him to do so, as he was a war criminal who had contributed to the defeat of the Demon King's army by guiding Usato and his group to the basement and then guiding the heroes of Kamilight.
"A large monster is rushing in from the front, Usato, use the magic bullet to figure out the position."
"Hmmm!!"
Following the words of Amako-chan, who has precognitive magic, she instantly throws a magic bullet forward.
The magic bullet disappeared into the trees at a tremendous speed, and made a popping sound.
「…… Confirmed by healing sensing. Except for me and Mr./Ms. Nagi, priority is given to escorting Hannah Mr./Ms.. Koga will be there for you in case of emergency."
"I don't think you have to worry about that."
Usato returned Koga's light smile and jumped forward at the same time with Kannagi Mr./Ms..
At the same time, Nono and the others, who had been escorting me, took up their weapons and moved into a battle posture.
"Buguroooooo
While knocking down the trees, a cow monster appeared that far exceeded the blue grizzly.
The fierce bull, whose name we don't even know, ——— thrust into the straight line where we were, sticking out its two horns.
「「……」」
Usato and Kannagi Mr./Ms. grabbed the left and right corners of the bull at the same time and stopped the charge with force.
…… Looking at it again, the size of the bull is larger than the blue grizzly, and it is about three times the size of the bull. Specifically, it's big enough to make the Nea that is squirming on Usato's shoulder look like a pea.
It would weigh more than even those wyverns.
The fact that these two people are in the form of a human being seems to be a mystery.
"Nuu......!"
"Huh......!"
"Bugoo!? Boogu!?"
The two of them hid their faces with bangs and exhaled as they pressed their horns together with their arms.
No matter how much he tried to move forward, he kicked the ground with his hind legs, but it was blocked by the strength of the two people, and the monster that was not even allowed to move forward returned to himself and let out a growl of bewilderment.
"Whew!!"
"Bugwoo!?"
Oh, I threw it away.
While looking at the scene in front of him as if it were someone else's problem, the beast monster slams into the ground from its back.
The monster seems to have fainted from the shock.
「…… Good. It's huge, but not so big that you can't handle it."
"That's right, it seems troublesome to come with numbers, but if it's a single thing, it should be suppressed like this."
What are these people?
In front of the stunned monster, Usato and Kannagi are having such a conversation as if nothing had happened, and their cheeks twitch.
"Mr./Ms. Hannah, do those people really have a human structure?"
「……」
I can't say anything back to Nono's words.
That's what I'm more concerned about.
"Oh, I'm tired, it's flashy when you have two idiots."
"Don't be silly...... Koga, have you ever seen this monster?"
"No, hey, it's not confirmed, is it?"
Perhaps he has become accustomed to this scene, but at Koga's words, Usato-kun looks at the monster again and puts his hand to his chin.
"Well, from now on, I'm going to call him Twin Horn Bull, or Twible for short."
"Don't do it because you're ...... poor."
Usato is a self-proclaimed healing wizard.
Kannagi, the partner of the previous hero.
Koga, the former commander of the 2nd Corps.
…… I thought it was overpowered.
The sense of security is so great that you take all possible measures and pull it the other way.
●
After taking sketches of the attacking monsters and recording the ecology of the unidentified monsters, we decided to proceed through the forest again.
At that time, Usato-kun sticks an iron stake from his cloak into the ground and uses it as a landmark for his next search.
At the same time, I also have to grasp the terrain, so I inevitably have to walk around.
And there was one more thing I had to do.
"Mr./Ms., shall we fly a little higher?"
It's about seeing the realm of demons from the sky.
The idea is to check the route you want to take, check if there are any landmarks, and find a safe route.
At that time, Usato, who wears Kira's magic, flies into the sky with me on his back to back, just like the other day.
"It's okay at this height, I'm going to sketch it, give me time."
"Got it."
On a wide-spread cloak, he takes out a notebook from his bag and a pen on his lap and captures the scenery and general terrain seen from the air.
Then, Nea Mr./Ms., who was on Usato's shoulder, looked into my painting.
Kira also came out of the cloak she was sitting on.
"Wow, you're so good."
"I'm good......
"I can only draw like a person."
"It looks like you're writing so smoothly for that, don't you?"
Well, I was photographing flowers in the flower beds that I grew myself, but .......
Although it is a skill that is not in the realm of a hobby, you should be able to draw in a way that you can understand the rough terrain.
……。
"When I think about when the Demon King Army was defeated, I can't believe I'm here now."
"Is that so?"
"Honestly, I thought it was going to be a lot worse."
If the Demon King had been killed, I think the treatment of the Demon Clan would have been more severe than it is now.
Thanks to the fact that this has not happened, the demon race is able to live a better life than before, although it is managed.
…… If it had been ten years earlier, my sister would have .......
「…… Nope."
Let's stop thinking about this.
My sister is no more.
It is a fact that can never be changed.
"If there is a Demon King, the Demon Clan will not be oppressed, and if necessary, I will be treated and used by the Demon King."
"Do you have a reason to do that to the Demon Clan?"
"It's my decision."
These words make me look back.
There was no hesitation in his eyes as he flew through the air, arms crossed, staring at the sight far ahead, not me.
Seeing this, I let out a sigh of dismay and then smiled wryly.
"Usato is really stupid."
"I was suddenly abused ......."
Physically and mentally...... Values are too different in every sense of the word.
This is probably something alien even without the fact that he is from another world.
Or rather, there are people like this all over the place.
「……! Keira, in the cloak."
「! Yes!"
「? What's ——— up, Usato-kun?"
When I thought that a cloak of dark magic was wrapped around my body, my body was swung around with tremendous momentum.
The next moment I realized that Usato had flown away, I saw a large flock of blue birds in my field of vision, which I could barely count.
"Huh? What's that......
They were trying to ram us all at once because of the position they were flying, weren't they?
The blue bird that began to circulate in a swirling fashion——— a large bird monster similar in color to the hoobird, constantly squealed and threatened us.
"Hoobard? No, it's a little different."
"Maybe it's a mutant, like it's evolved to withstand harsh environments? Usato, they're hostile to you."
"Oh...... I know."
I don't want to believe that such a ferocious and ferocious bird is ...... hoobird!!
"Uuuu Why don't you get down to earth!?"
"They will attack you again while you are going down, and they will attack you again, so you better deal with them once."
"Why are you so calm!?"
You're younger than me, aren't you?!
Usato answers as he looks around at a flock of blue birds that resemble hoobards jumping around in the air.
"It's more dangerous to be distraught with a demon."
"Why do I get upset when you tell me the right thing......
"Hannah, Mr./Ms. calm down ......."
- When she is trapped by Keira, the monster attacks again.
He avoids it with plenty of time to spare, and talks to me, whose hair is unkempt due to the wind pressure and the spacing between the top and bottom is blurred.
"Be careful because it will shake."
"What, shaking!? How can it shake any more...... Whew!?"
The cloak that wraps around me is further transformed and fixed to Usato's back.
On top of that, a rectangular frame is created that turns into a box that covers me so that I can barely see the outside, so that I can barely see the outside.
"'Quaaa!!''
"Come on!"
From there, it's a hell that swings up, down, left and right, and upside down.
Mr./Ms. had put up a resistance spell, so it might have been a little better, but it was still quite a shock.
And then I realize.
Why did Usat run when he left Verhazar even though he was wearing a cloak that allowed him to fly?
In his case, it is physically easier to run on the ground than to fly unfamiliarly.
"Healing Explosive Wave ——— Triple"
The moment you hear the terrifying name of the technique just by listening to it, wow! There is an explosion and a green flash of light that illuminates the blue sky three times.
The screams of the monsters echo, and the flapping of its wings becomes distant.
After a few seconds, the dark magic cloak that covered me unraveled, and my already hollow vision opened up.
"You can't let your guard down even in the sky, this is truly a paradise for monsters."
On the way down to the ground, he hears Usato's muttering.
There are no more monsters around.
…… Even if it's not Usato's fault, I can't help but want to return the favor a little when I'm forced to go through something like this.
I talk to him on my back, leaning limply regardless of acting.
"Usato-kun......"
"I'm sorry, it's been a rough flight———
"I'm going to throw up."
「…… What?"
"What?"
I'm sure people will say that I have a bad personality because I do this kind of thing.
However, no matter how accustomed you are to flying with a wyvern, you will want to take revenge if you are swung up, down, left and right like that.
"Oh, yes, ...... on the ground right now! I'm going to drop you off at a distance from the squad, can you hold out until then?"
Well, just seeing Usato's panicked appearance made me sigh———、
"Uuato Mr./Ms. if the need arises, I'll put it in my cloak for Hannah Mr./Ms.......'s honor!"
"Ugh......!!"
The well-intentioned counter exploded in an unexpected way, and it was really heartbreaking.
I should have aimed only at Usato, and I didn't mean to cloud Kira's face......!!
