Kojiin Tamer

Are we taking down Rainbow Caterpillar and Magical Butterfly again today?

No, you'll be dealing with a different monster today.

A different monster?

'Oh, the boy said his grandmother taught him to use granting magic to strengthen his weapons, right? I found a good man for you to practice with the other day.

I don't think he's a dangerous monster, do you?

Rest assured, a man with the right kind of weapons would be a match for a man in one-on-one combat.

Master! Can I beat him, then?

"The boy of wolves can't be beaten, can he? Whether he can win depends on the boy's magic.

All right, then, Shu, let's go for it!

We're going to do our best, too!

The younger sister is motivated and Sakuya is going to do her best with that.

Iliya is looking at the back of the two of them, "I'll take care of it! Iliya-chan was looking at me behind them, "I'll take care of it!

After a short walk, the old man may have seen the monster and changed directions, instructing us to follow him.

We obeyed his instructions and followed him as much as we could, keeping out of his presence.

As we proceeded, he motioned for us to hide behind a tree. We each hid behind a tree, and when we looked beyond that, we saw a black mass in the distance.

We examined it to see what it was, and found that it was a soldier ant.

I wondered what it was and asked the old man.

'Normally the old man brings the monster to me, why is he hiding like this today?

This is because this is how adventurers normally search for enemies and attack them by hiding.

Oh, so it's been strange until now. Then why is it today?

"We can't just leave Sakuya and go looking for the monster!

Ahhh, sai...

So, try it without the granting spell for now.

"Oops, I'll do it!

Shhhhh!

Everyone got impatient with Cruz-kun who shouted out for his spirit. Cruz noticed this and hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Cruz, you're trying to hide, but if you yell like that, people will notice!

Ilya was stunned as she whispered in anger.

I'm sorry, well then, let's just do what we always do. It's a good idea to have a good time.

"U, yeah...

Sakuya-chan, do your best!

After we finished talking, we scattered around and all but Cruz-kun prepared to attack.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

We attacked all at once, but are arrows and throwing knives still ant shells? I don't know if the rock from my ground magic did any damage, but it did seem to make an impact and the ants backed away. It seems like I could crush it if I made it into a larger rock, but that would slow it down and make it difficult to balance.

Sakuya's wind magic is indeed a wind dragon, and the wind blade cut off the ants' legs.

The attacked ants tried to come at you, but Cruz ran over and struck a blow to the ants, causing them to move away.

Cruz-kun's blow didn't cut through the shell either, but it did deliver a blow to the head, so the ants were a bit wobbly.

I weighted the tips of Ilya's arrows with ground magic. I gave my sister a hammer bola and changed my plan to shock the ants.

I asked Sakuya to continue with her wind blade, but she was careful not to hit Cruz-kun.

Cruz-kun kept moving away from the distance and repeated the blow.

Every once in a while an ant would spit something out, but since he was at a distance from Mr. Cruz, he didn't hit him.

The appraisal revealed that it was formic acid. If it hits, we'll be in big trouble.

"Cruz-kun, try aiming at the joint!

I suddenly thought about it and shouted to Cruz.

Unlike previous monsters, ants have clearly recognizable joints. I thought that maybe I could smash them all.

Cruz, as I was told, is your neck? He slammed the longsword into the position of

Then the ants' heads flew away from their bodies.

We successfully defeated the soldier ant.
