Kochugunshikan Boukensha ni Naru

Journey, thirteenth day.

The journey is close to the destination and is running smoothly without any problems. However, the number of demons has increased exponentially as you approach the Great Demon Sea.

At the beginning of the journey, it was not uncommon to miss the demon all day, but now it is not uncommon to encounter the demon more than three times a day.

Yesterday, I was attacked by two humanoid monsters called oaks, who looked like pigs, more than two meters tall. According to Erna, it seems to be a major monster.

Either way, Orc has disappeared into Sharon and Serena's magic practice platform. There is resistance to removing magic stones from humanoid monsters, but Clelia and Elna do not. Perhaps the idea of a demon is fundamentally different.

According to the complete demons purchased, the price of oak magic stones seems to be higher than Greyhound. From the standpoint of the defeat, the movement is much slower than the greyhound, and it is easy to cast magic. Hopefully all the demons that come out will be orcs. If you use a sword to defeat it without magic, you'll have a hard time just because you're big.

Now everyone was able to operate the carriage without any problems. Not only the carriage, but also the riding could be enough to get the limited approval of Elna that a well-trained horse would be fine.

We all stayed in a village during the journey so far, but it was a common opinion that the comfort of staying was subtle and that camping was easier and more comfortable.

In a day, we arrive at the citadel city Gantz. I watch a video of a city from the sky, but what exactly is it?

[Captain from Dee One]

The communication from the invisible drone has been since the first day of the journey.

(What happened?)

[A carriage is downturned on a three-kilometer highway, confirming an estimated more than ten human corpses and five surviving humans.]

what do you mean? Maybe you've been attacked by a demon or a bandit. During this trip, I occasionally passed by merchants and adventurers, but never encountered a site where something was attacked.

(Please scout)

[OK]

The image of the drone viewpoint is displayed on the virtual window. It accelerated at a considerable speed and stopped where it seemed to be over the site. The drone seems to be stationary in the air. You can see the road, but you can't see the places because it is covered with trees.

The viewpoint is zoomed. Certainly, the carriage has been knocked down and corpses are scattered around. About thirteen are likely. There are five survivors, apparently carrying luggage out of the carriage. One of us broke our luggage. He doesn't seem to be handling his luggage at all. Probably a bandit.

What a security! It's incredible to take someone's life and take something less. The victims may not be able to help anymore, but they need to do something as soon as possible.

I need to talk to everyone. I pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.

"What happened? Alain"

"It looks like it's annoying."

Get off the carriage and explain to everyone.

"It looks like there's a bandit ahead of you, but only after someone's been attacked."

"Can you find such things with detection magic?", Said Elna.

"Oh, there are five people on the highway.

"Let's go fast! The attacked person may be alive!" Clelia said.

"Maybe I don't think it is ... but I'll be careful enough."

Run the carriage with a slight skip. They seemed to notice that they were less than 200 meters from the site.

It is hidden on both sides of the highway in a hurry, but it is completely visible from above. I saw two people with bows.

"Erna, two bowers. Be careful."

He noted Elna, who was also sitting on the platform. However, since he holds the rifle with one hand, it can be managed even if the arrow flies.

Thirty meters to the scene, the two confirmed that they had begun to bow, as seen from above, and fired a flame arrow at the same time for the five.

Even if you say hiding, you're just hiding in the grass, so you can see it with a magic sensor.

As the arrows of the fire jumped into the grass, multiple voices of gushing were heard.

"Disarm!"

After jumping off the carriage, Elna followed, and three others jumped out of the carriage to secure bandits. To disarm, all you have to do is receive the flame arrow on your right shoulder and step on a man rolling around with pain.

He grabbed his knife and kicked it off the street. It was just five to five, so it was quick. The thieves who were thrown out on the street had been rolling around for a while, but the pain seemed to have subsided.

"Hey, what are you gonna do! We just hid in the grass! What is it to suddenly attack!"

"I saw you and the guy there pulling a bow. Are you bandits?"

"Well, ridiculous! We're not bandits! We just pulled the bow just in case."

"So what is this situation?" Look around.

"Hey, this is it! We were attacked by bandits! We just managed to overtake and return."

"Then, is the corpse here yours?"

"Ah, yes! Well, there are corpses of bandits."

"So, was this always your friend?"

In any case, the corpse looked like an adventurer.

"Oh, I'm sorry to die"

"What is his name?"

"Well, my name is Danny."

I examined the corpse and looked for a guild certificate. If you are an adventurer, you must be wearing it, and you will find it immediately.

"The name is Gil. You're a bandit."

"Oh! That's someone else! Why do you have Danny's Guy's Guild Proof!"

"Alan, it's already troublesome. It's a long way to go and it's hard to take them, let's kill them," said Elna.

"Oh, yes, do you?"

I showed my sword.

"Wait, wait! Our friends will come back soon! You should escape sooner!"

"It's a pretty silly excuse."

"Wait! This is true! Look at the corpses! Ten adventure-like people and three like me?"

It looks like that when I look around.

"Only eight people don't hit more than ten people! There are really friends!"

"Well, where are those friends?"

"There's a place where I'm hiding here, so it's better to escape!"

The magic sensor has no response. Is there a distance?

(D-One, scrutinize the area and check for human presence)

[OK]

"Why are your friends in the hideout?"

"There were three good women, so we talked about having fun at once ... We stepped on a little bit and caught luggage as punishment ..."

Hearing the words of the bandit, the surrounding signs changed drastically. The bandit apparently noticed it. Looking around, all four are very scary.

"Alan, let's go for help!"

"Ah, yeah."

[discovered]

D-One seems to have found the hideout. The image sent through the cave had ten humanoid avatars that seemed to be human. Did it take so much time in the cave and underground?

That means that if there are three girls alive, there are seven thieves.

It's about three kilometers from here to the hideout. Now, there are carriages and what happened. Split into two hands? No, it's better to act with everyone.

(D-One, protect the carriage, keep people and monsters away)

[OK]

"Now everyone will get into the bandit hideout, is that okay?"

Everyone is nodding.

"Then remove Tars and Schiller from the carriage and connect them to the tree."

Don't take horses as expected. For now, bring a light magic tool. I was ready in no time.

"Okay, I'll guide you! Run towards the hideout! Is the hideout over there? Even if you deviate a little from the direction you are going to the hideout, it will be burnt and burned with magic, and even if it comes to your feet and hands, it will be burned. Is that good? "

"Oh, I understand!"

The thieves started running with trembling. We also started running.

On the way, one of the players has deviated to the side and launches a fire ball so as not to hit the limit.

"Hit" I returned in a hurry.

The bandits saw it and started running in a row. After about 30 minutes, we finally arrived near the entrance of the cave. The bandit doesn't seem to have a watch.

"I'll go with Elna"

"Sure! I'm going!" Clelia said.

"Because the cave is small, there is no point in having a large number of people.

""I understand""

Clelia seems reluctantly convinced.

"Go, Erna"

"Yes"

Elna answered, pulling her sword. The magic sensor knows where the bandits are.

"The thieves are at the back. There are seven people.

"Roger that"

Indeed a knight. Erna's response in an emergency is simple and good. Going deeper into the cave is dark. Bring the light magic tool and you're right.

The back is brighter. Somehow a vile laughter is heard. The scary thing is that the hostage is taken. Do you want to do it all at once?

As I walked away with footsteps, I could see the situation ahead. Two women are being attacked by bandits with no hail. Another woman seems to have her limbs tied.

Alright, all thieves have figured out. Locked on the right shoulders of all bandits and fired the Flame Arrow.

"Erna! Woman!"

I disarmed, starting with the nearby rolling bandits. Kick thieves and gather them to the deepest of the cave. Elna seems to have successfully protected the woman.

By the end of collecting all the bandits and weapons, three women seemed to be able to grasp the situation. Erna is already dressed.

"Are you an adventurer?"

A woman with limbs tied, about 20 years old, asked.

"Yes. I'm Alan, the shining star of the C-rank party. I've heard the bandits talk about you and helped."

"Thank you!

"No, don't worry. Let's get out of here for now."

"Yes"

The two women who have been insulted are probably around the same age as me. He wasn't so upset and unable to walk.

"Erna, can I ask for the rest?"

"Let me take care of that"

Elna left the women out of the cave. I'm checking for loot.

"You know, if you move a little from there, you'll burn it out with magic, you know."

The thieves nodded with tremendous speed to those who could grasp the situation.

Since the wooden box is in disorder, open it from one end.

This is salt. This is also salt. This is tableware. Is this clothes? I don't see anything bad. Contact, a box with a key. This can be expected. When I opened it with an electromagnetic blade knife, it was gold. It counts roughly, but there will be no 80,000 guineas. Splash into the collection bag that brought the guinea. I tried opening the other boxes, but nothing was outstanding. It's not tough.

Then what ’s the bandit ’s weapon? I look at the swords and spears here and there, but these two are the only things that look good. Up to here?

"You guys. Stay still. If you come out of the cave, I'll burn it."

In order to intimidate the fire, he creates a flame like a flamethrower and roasts thieves.

""understood!""

When they stepped out of the cave with their collection bags and collected bandits' weapons, everyone seemed to be caring for the victim's woman.

"Heal Natalie-san!" Said Clelia.

It seems that self-introduction is already over.

At first glance, his face was bruised as if he had been beaten. Let's cure both of them. Oops, these guys are outsiders, so don't show me my usual magic.

This was noticed by Elna before the journey, and I was repeatedly told that my magic was special and that I would never show it in front of others.

He held his hand in front of the woman, and after about ten seconds, healed with a "heel" to activate healing magic. The bruise disappeared without a trace. However, not only the bruise but also the whole body was imaged, so any other injuries would have healed.

"Healing magic!

The three women seem to be very surprised. Was it ten seconds short? Healing magic is applied to another woman as well.

"Are you OK?"

I asked the tied woman.

"I'm fine. Greetings were delayed, I am Arista. This is Karina and Natalie."

"I'm Karina."

"Natalie."

"Thank you very much for your help. You are the lifesaver."

"No, don't worry because you've done the right thing. Confirmation, are you ten escorts and three you are all?"

"Yes. Who are the escort adventurers?"

"Unfortunately all were dead."

"I see ... sorry."

"Well, what happened to bandits?"

I asked everybody at the party.

"Oh! Would you give me the bandit if I could?"

Now, I feel like I gave it away.

"What is that?"

"In this way, their honor will not be saved. I have heard that the thief's captive reward is 5,000 Guineas per person. We will pay double Guinea."

"" Arista! "

Arista seems to be a person who is often called. But what is it? What if you gave it away? Do you kill it as it is?

"Aren't that good? Alain," said Clelia. Perhaps because of the public, the tone is pretentious.

"I think I'm good too," said Elna.

Perhaps you seemed to be confused by my expression, Clelia and Elna said that.

"I'll leave it to Alain," said Sharon.

"Me too," said Serena.

Unless everyone disagrees, I think I'm a thief. No problem.

"I see, but I don't need the double amount. The normal amount is fine. We can save our time."

"Thank you, everyone," Arista bows down.

"So how do you do it?"

"Can you give them the five bandits?"

"Yes, I don't mind."

Thieves are trembling.

"Now, let's take those five people to the cave. Can I borrow a sword?" Said Nathalie, who had been silent until now.

It points to a bandit's weapon that has been recovered and placed.

"of course"

Natalie and Karina chose a sword.

"Hey, you put in the cave!"

"I'm sorry, excuse me! Husband! No, great husband, please do your mercy!"

Tell me what to do. As you can see, there is no reason to complain about this gender ratio.

I roasted the bandits with a fire.

"Don't burn yourself or go into a cave. Choose now."

Five bandits reluctantly enter the cave.

Three women try to enter the cave as it is.

"Please wait for Arista outside," said Carina.

"However!"

"I can't really think Arista is there," said Carina.

"... I see. Alan-san, please give them two."

Well, I'm not sure what was asked.

"understood"

Judging from what has been said so far, what will be done is definitely their revenge. So, should I be able to get their revenge safe? The thieves are pathetic, but self-owned.

Going to the end of the cave, the bandits kept my instructions and calmed down. Since there was a bundle of rope, cut it into a suitable length with a knife. 12 in all?

Throw the cut rope toward the bandits.

"You guys! Tie your feet with that rope! If you have the tightest, most tightly tied guy, I think I'm really gonna reflect on you and I may wish them mercy."

Originally, the bandits in the cave seemed unclear, but they started tying their feet when they saw the bandits jumping on the ropes. They tied their feet in no time.

I use a sword to check the bandits of the bandits. All of them are raising their feet to ask me to check the condition of the binding. Everything seems tightly tied.

"Oh, yeah. Everyone, get the gold one. Depending on the amount ..."

At that point, the bandits all fiddled with their pockets and offered coins. Have each one put in a collection bag. Oh, some of you had gold coins. After all, such a plain job should not be stupid.

When the money was collected, the mouth of the collection bag was tied tight.

"How about like this?"

"Fufu, the best, Alan-sama. Thank you. Can you wait outside?"

"But ... are you okay?"

"Oh, sorry. I didn't say. We're still escorting Arista. If you can do this, there's nothing wrong."

"I see ... I understand. Please call me if you have anything."

"She !? Husband! Mercy !?" "She, just the money!"

"Give up"

Before I left the cave, the screams of the bandits began to be heard.

For about twenty minutes, the screams of the bandits constantly heard outside the cave. It's not a good thing to hear. Everyone has a pale blue face that makes you feel sick.

Natalie and Carina have come out of the cave. Everything seems to be over.

"I'm waiting for you. This has restored me and Natalie's honor. Thank you," said Carina.

Indeed, is this the way of thinking of this star woman?

"Thank you for lending me a sword."

Natalie and Karina offered her sword. He looks at the sword in regret. Those two swords were two that we evaluated good.

"Maybe that sword belongs to you?"

"We used it, but now it's yours."

"Then, I will return that sword."

"But!"

"I was originally wondering if I would take it home. So why not go to our carriage?"

"I'll take care of you for a while. I'll do this for you," said Arista.

"No, don't worry"

Let's put the rest of the bandits here. It doesn't seem to sell high, and it's annoying. We decided to return to the carriage.
